“I wonder what chance Teacher will give this disciple?”
Ling Xiao looked at White Cloud Great Master with indifference, but there was no hatred. White Cloud Great Master’s action irritated him.
However, he had saved his life, so Ling Xiao had no hatred towards him. At most, they were strangers from now on.
“Ling Xiao, do you think that you are so powerful that no one among the younger generation can beat you in the entire White Cloud Province?”
White Cloud Great Master slowly said: “I wonder if you dare to challenge Zuo Leng? If you can even achieve a tie with him, then Zuo Leng’s spot will be yours.”
Upon hearing his words, the people of the Hidden Dragon Battalion were a bit angry.
Zuo Leng was an Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master.
Ling Xiao was just an Initial Rank Eight Martial Vein Martial Master. This gap was too big.
It was better to not take such a chance.
The people of Heavenly Ren Academy, however, were gloating, waiting to see how Ling Xiao would make a fool out of himself.
Seeing Ling Xiao not speaking, White Cloud Great master continued: “Of course, if you don’t accept this chance, this old man will also not force you, but don’t mention the matter of a recommendation.”
He gave this chance to directly dispel Ling Xiao’s arrogant thoughts.
In his opinion, even if Ling Xiao was ignorant, he would not be stupid enough to challenge Zuo Leng.
But he was wrong.
Ling Xiao had been cultivating for about two months, and his strength had improved by more than a bit. He had long wanted an opponent to test his strength.
Zuo Leng was the perfect opponent.
“Many thanks, Teacher. I’m willing to take this chance to challenge Zuo Leng!”
Ling Xiao said without any change in expression.
“Are you sure?”
White Cloud Great Master asked with surprise.
“Very sure!”
Ling Xiao nodded.
“Master, I’m a martial artist of the Ren Race, and he is a martial artist of the Human Race. Moreover, in the war before, this kid killed many people of our Ren Race, including my father who was also my former teacher. Therefore, I request to go to Life and Death Cliff!”
Life and Death Cliff!
Upon hearing his words, everyone’s first thought was that he was too ruthless. He was taking advantage of this chance to directly kill Ling Xiao.
“It depends on whether Ling Xiao agrees or not.”
White Cloud Great Master looked at Ling Xiao.
He didn’t reject it. It seemed that White Cloud Great Master was truly too fond of Zuo Leng and Ming Tian. Even if they tried to kill people with flimsy excuses, he was not willing to stop them.
Ling Xiao had no other choice. He could only accept it!
Aat least for now, he had no other way to enter the twelve sects, and he didn’t want to give up this chance.
“I agree!”
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth.
Everyone in Heavenly Ren Academy gloated at his words.
Last time, Ling Xiao had fought Li Xinghui on Life and Death Cliff. At that time, Li Xinghui had been killed.
However, at that time, the gap between their cultivation bases had not been big.
But today was completely different. Zuo Leng was an Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master, with a cultivation base much higher than Ling Xiao’s.
The result of this fight was too obvious!
Ling Xiao’s death was certain.
The disciples of the Hidden Dragon Battalion were worried.
“Junior Apprentice Brother, you have to think thrice!”
This time, even Ling Yixue who had always believed in him was a bit worried. After all, Ling Xiao was too important for her.
“Yes, Noble Son, think thrice.”
Leng Mei hastily advised.
The others also wanted to chime in, but Ling Xiao interrupted them: “Don’t say anything, I have decided. Go to Life and Death Cliff!”
Life and Death Cliff.
Zuo Leng had a sneer on his face while laughing inwardly.
Ling Xiao had killed many martial artists of Ren Race. As a genius of Ren Race, he had long wanted to make Ling Xiao suffer.
Naturally, the more important point was that Ling Xiao had actually dared to challenge him.
He thought that it was Ling Xiao looking down on him! Disdaining him!
Therefore, he must let Ling Xiao and everyone else know that he, Zuo Leng, was not something anyone could look down on!
The two stood, facing each other.
The next moment!
A dazzling black flame burst out of Zuo Leng’s body.
That flame was strangely black, covering his body like armor.
At that moment, an illusion as if Zuo Leng’s body was no longer flesh and blood but rather a flaming elemental body appeared.
“Heavenly Illumination Black Flame Divine Art! Moreover, it seems to have reached the perfection realm and been cultivated to Heavenly Illumination Flame Armor!”
“This Heavenly Illumination Black Flame Divine Art is a very powerful Quasi-Transcendent Martial Art of the Ren Race. Once you have cultivated it to the perfection realm, you will not only be impervious to swords and spears, but you will also not be affected by water and fire. It is a lot stronger compared to similar grade body tempering techniques!”
“Yes, I have heard that the defenses of even similar ranked defense-type demonic beasts are inferior to this technique!”
“With Heavenly Illumination Flame Armor protecting the body, it is meaningless even if Ling Xiao has cultivated <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>. This Heavenly Illumination Black Flame Divine Art is much better than <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>. It’s close to Transcendent Martial Arts!”
“Heh heh, I have already said earlier that Ling Xiao is just courting death. In fact, even if Zuo Leng didn’t use this defensive martial art, he could easily crush Ling Xiao with his cultivation base.”
Ling Xiao ignored the comments of those from Heavenly Ren Academy. He just looked at Zuo Leng’s body and said with a smile: “I didn’t expect Senior Apprentice Brother Zuo Leng to have cultivated such a marvelous technique. However, I have also cultivated a defensive martial art. I wonder which one is stronger!”
While speaking, Ling Xiao circulated his true essence, and a dazzling golden light burst out of his body.
Gradually, a layer of golden scales covered his body. Now, he looked like a human-shaped golden dragon.
Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, Third Layer!
Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor!
There were also the Heavenly Dragon Tendons hidden within his body!
Clamor!
True Spirit Hall immediately seethed.
Many people had known of Zuo Leng’s Heavenly Illumination Black Flame Divine Art. With his Susano Ren Spirit, this fellow’s defense was definitely number one among the disciples of White Cloud Great Master.
He was even stronger than Ming Tian in this aspect.
However, no one knew of Ling Xiao’s Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, only his Nine Transformation Golden Body Art.
These two defensive martial arts looked very similar on the surface, but the differences in their grades were too big. Nevertheless, the crowd knew nothing of this.
Regardless of anything else, just on the basis of momentum, these two martial arts were actually evenly matched.
Which one was better would depend on the final results.
Zuo Leng had a disdainful look.
If Ling Xiao had used the same attack martial art that had injured Ming Tian before, he might have had some misgivings, but the other party had actually also used a defensive martial art.
He truly was ignorant. Do you think that your defensive martial art can compare with my perfection realm Heavenly Illumination Black Flame Divine Art?
“Interesting, let me test how good your defensive martial art is.”
With a sneer, Zuo Leng leaned forward.
Instantly, a sonic boom resounded, and his speed reached the extreme. He actually left behind black flame afterimages.
In terms of speed, he seemed not much worse than Ling Xiao. He must have displayed a certain Transcendent Movement Technique.
When he was just a foot away from Ling Xiao, he suddenly attacked with a palm.
This palm crackled with electricity: he had condensed his true essence on his right palm, and the tearing the void had led to this harsh sound.
Crackle, crackle, crackle. The crackling sounds resounded.
Ling Xiao took a deep breath, took a step forward, and also rushed out. His speed was even faster than Zuo Leng’s.
He used his left fist to welcome Zuo Leng.
On his fist was plenty of Thunderbolt True Essence.
