Shi Yulian regretted that she hadn’t insisted on dissuading her father.
She was a little lucky today once more. Fortunately, she hadn’t challenged Ling Xiao, unlike Li Xinghui.
Ling Xiao then obtained an excellent grade treasured artifact axe from Wan Ben. He also received ten natural crystals and carefully selected a Quasi-Transcendent Martial Skill.
After that, he left White Cloud Temple amidst the cheers of the Hidden Dragon Battalion’s disciples, returning to the Hidden Dragon Battalion to pack his things.
The angry gazes of Heavenly Ren Academy’s geniuses followed him.
Lin Ze personally hosted a farewell party for Ling Xiao, Ling Yixue, and the others.
On this day, Ling Xiao’s name became a legend in the Hidden Dragon Battalion, something to be talked about by generations to come.
Although Ling Yixue and Dai Yuling had become the true disciples of White Cloud Great Master, the matter of Ling Xiao killing Li Xinghui in four moves excited them even more. Compared to those two mysterious women, Ling Xiao was more suitable to become a legendary hero among the common people.
On the same day, Lin Ze accepted Ling Xiao as his true disciple in front of everyone in the Hidden Dragon Battalion.
Lin Ze had no children, so as his only disciple, Ling Xiao naturally inherited entire his legacy.
This was a supreme honor.
However, after the celebration finished, Lin Ze told Ling Xiao that by becoming his true disciple, he would get some things but also might face even more danger.
He asked once more if Ling Xiao was still willing to worship him as a Master, giving him the chance to refuse.
Facing Lin Ze’s question, Ling Xiao just smiled and said: “Commander Lin, I, Ling Xiao have admired you since childhood. Today, it is still the same. It is the glory of my life to become your disciple.”
“Good! Good boy! With your words, even if I, Lin Ze, die on the battlefield, I will be content!”
Lin Ze was a tough fellow. He had never cried, but now, he did. His body trembled, and his words were choked with tears.
In fact, he had actually previously accepted disciples, but two were killed and the final one couldn’t endure the constant assassination attempts and betrayed him.
Therefore, he was unwilling to accept disciples.
Even though the Twelve Tiger Guards were outstanding, he had never thought of accepting them as disciples.
However, Ling Xiao’s appearance made him change his mind.
Even if he died, Ling Xiao could still make the Side General Residence stand tall in White Cloud Province without falling apart.
The Twelve Tiger Guards couldn’t fight Wan Ben, but Ling Xiao could!
This was unreasonably trusting, but he was willing to bet on Ling Xiao.
On that day, Ling Xiao, Ling Yixue, Dai Yuling, and the others moved to White Cloud Temple.
There were no independent courtyards here, no one served them, the food was very simple, and life even poorer, but no one complained.
The twelve geniuses including Ling Xiao were very clear that this was just a bit of suffering. Once they became a powerhouse like White Cloud Great Master, what could they not obtain?
Naturally, although neither the food nor accommodation was also up to much, cultivation resources were very abundant.
In White Cloud Temple, all entry disciples would receive 50,000 taels, one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and ten True Essence Pills every month.
In addition, there were a lot of heavenly herbs, earthly treasures, panaceas and so on.
Not mentioning anything else, just this was enough to make countless martial artists envious. In addition to all these, they could also receive guidance from White Cloud Great Master. Thus, what if the food was crappy?
After moving to White Cloud Temple, Ling Xiao didn’t immediately begin cultivating. Instead, he immersed himself in the Landscape World, observing the Seven Star Flower slowly being repaired.
That beautiful plant that seemed forged of crystal was completely restored after 15 minutes. Naturally, it required a lot of materials.
Finally, with the restoration of the Seven Star Flower complete, Ling Xiao couldn’t wait to test his potential.
Seven flowers filled in all three colors!
Seven-star soul potential, seven-star internal energy potential, and seven-star body potential!
Moreover, he obviously had yet to completely release his potential.
In other words, his potential was not at all inferior to those four true disciples of White Cloud Great Master.
After all, whether it was Zuo Leng, Ming Tian or Ling Yixue, only one of their potentials had reached the seven-star or above level.
Dai Yuling had not even reached five stars.
But all three of his potentials were above seven stars.
In the past, he hadn’t quite understood why his cultivation and comprehension had been so fast. Now, the answer was clear.
After confirming his potential, Ling Xiao was more confident in his future. After all, potential was truly important.
Next, he focused on cultivating.
The Quasi-Transcendent Martial Art he had obtained from Wan Ben was <Divine Prison King Fist>.
According to the analysis of his Landscape Martial Soul, after cultivating it to the sublimity realm, as long as he could obtain the corresponding martial soul, this fist technique would transform into a Transcendent Martial Art, obtaining new moves with even stronger might.
Just from Wan Ben’s face upon his choosing this technique, he knew that this was a truly good thing. It could be guessed that he had been dying to slap Ling Xiao to death.
Ling Xiao didn’t care about that. In any case, he had already offended Wan Ben, so he didn’t care about offending him more. The important point was that this martial art was good.
Although his <Meteorite Fist> had been upgraded several times, it had been unable to match the rise in his cultivation base. It was a bit regrettable, but he had to discard it eventually.
Naturally, <Meteorite Fist> was still useful when dealing with miscellaneous mobs or martial artists weaker than him.
Altogether, <Divine Prison King Fist> had four styles——Bull Head Split, Horse Face Smash, Variable Twist, and Ghost King Annihilation.
As a Quasi-Transcendent martial Art, it was not easy to cultivate.
Ling Xiao created two clones. While the main body comprehended <Divine Prison King Fist>, one clone continued to cultivate <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> and the other continued to cultivate <Snow Lotus True Solution>.
<Snow Lotus True Solution> was an Internal Core Law that would make it easier for him to advance in realm. <Heavenly Dragon Golden Dragon> tempered the body. More importantly, it was Ling Xiao’s only Transcendent Martial Art. Therefore, he would naturally emphasize it.
Moreover, once <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> broke through to the fifth layer, he could advance to the Transcendent Realm. There was no need to worry about attacking the Transcendent Sage Realm.
As for other things, he temporarily ignored them.
Allegedly, White Cloud Great Master had chosen White Cloud Temple to set up a special array here. When cultivating here, you would get twice the results with half the effort.
Two hours later, Ling Xiao completely mastered <Divine Prison King Fist>’s first style “Bull Head Split,” but he discovered a problem: his <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> had not reached the ninth transformation.
Because <Divine Prison King Fist>’s first style was too terrifying, it would frequently dislocate his shoulder and even fracture his arms.
If he had cultivated <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> to the ninth transformation, he wouldn’t need to worry about this problem since he would simply regrow the severed limbs, not to mention dislocations and fractures.
However, he needed a lot of gold to cultivate his <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>.
