Ling Xiao took advantage of the smoke and dust to collect Jin Ming’s Mammoth Martial Soul.
This was another animal martial soul. However, it belonged to an immemorial demonic beast. If this martial soul were sold outside, it would fetch a sky-high price.
Ling Xiao hesitated, before giving this thing to Thunder Bear Martial Soul.
The effect of swallowing the same type of martial soul was better.
In an instant, Thunder Bear Martial Soul advanced from transparent to incorporeal. Moreover, it even possessed the faint aura of an immemorial demonic beast.
This was an unexpected discovery.
Not only could fusion get some other martial soul’s traits, even when swallowing others, a martial soul could occasionally steal rather good traits.
At this stage, Ling Xiao already had three incorporeal martial souls——Black Cloud Martial Soul, Blood Shadow Martial Soul, and Thunder Bear Martial Soul.
As for Ghost Ship and Great Sword Martial Souls, they were still at the transparent stage of intact souls.
Transparent, incorporeal, and entity: martial souls that had just become intact martial souls all had these three stages.
However, further upgrades were even stronger.
“Reporting to the Tower Master, Jin Ming is dead!”
After checking Jin Ming’s condition, a Desperate Tower’s guard stood up.
“Dead!”
“Could it be that Ling Xiao used a soul attack?”
“That’s truly possible. This kid has done all-around development of the soul, body and internal energy! That’s too terrifying.”
Hearing Jin Ming was dead, the onlookers immediately fell into chaos.
Jin Ming had actually died just like this, which was incomprehensible to many outer disciples, as if they had suddenly woke up from a strange dream.
“Congratulations, Ling Xiao, you have won today’s four death challenges! You will receive a special reward!”
The expression of that masked Desperate Tower Master couldn’t be seen, but many people felt that he was smiling.
Special reward?
Ling Xiao was dumbfounded. When he had proposed the death challenge before, the guard of Desperate Tower had said that there was no reward for challenges like this.
“You all might feel a bit strange and wonder why there is a reward.”
Desperate Tower Master chuckled.
“It’s because this Tower Master is happy today.”
This might be the willfulness of an expert. Just because he was happy, he made such a promise.
“Ling Xiao, tomorrow night, you should come to Desperate Tower by yourself, and this Tower Master will tell you the reward. Rest assured, you will not be disappointed.”
After speaking, he actually jumped and disappeared into the mountains.
This was truly willful: come as he wanted, leave as he wanted.
However, after he left, everyone’s attention focused on Ling Xiao.
Killing four people at once.
Moreover, all of them had been former or current top-ten outer disciples.
After this incident, Ling Xiao’s fierce might was thoroughly established in the Outer Sect.
Elusive movement technique, incomparably doughty defense, and terrifying soul power, this fellow was too terrifying! Under the Transcendent Realm, he was unmatched! No, even Rank One Transcendent Realm martial artists might not be his opponent!”
Elder White was excited
Although this level of strength was nothing to him, Ling Xiao was absolutely a piece of uncut jade. Just a little bit of carving would make him the most outstanding gem in this world.
There was nothing that made him happier than nurturing talented martial artists.
After all, as an Outer Elder, he undertook this kind of matter often.
The sect world was very big, far bigger than the secular world.
Although Moonlight Sect was one of the twelve sects, this was only in the Human Race’s Sacred Dynasty.
There were millions upon millions of terrifying sects on Heavenly Dragon Continent.
It was impossible to gain a firm foothold in this world without outstanding geniuses.
The people of the older generation, after all, were getting older. Time might forsake them at any time. Only these young talents were the future.
“You say, can Ling Xiao win against Wang Feng?”
“It’s hard to say. The ranked-one Wang Feng has been in seclusion these days. It has already been more than three months. Who knows how powerful he has become?”
“Nevertheless, if we look on the basis of their previous strengths, then Wang Feng shouldn’t be Ling Xiao’s opponent.”
“Then, what about the second-ranked Jian Xing?”
“Oh, he is also good at using a sword. Allegedly, he has an immortal-grade treasured artifact, which is incomparably sharp; moreover, his personal strength is also not inferior to Jin Ming’s. In the past when carrying out a mission, he killed a Rank One Transcendent Realm expert.”
“Oh, like that, those in the top three are all monsters. Ling Xiao might not be their opponent.”
After the death challenge ended, the issue of Ling Xiao’s ranking had become the focus of the outer disciples.
“Ling Xiao! You and I have no grudges, so I don’t want to fight to the death with you! However, your strength truly stimulated me. Come, challenge me!”
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the crowd, attracting everyone’s gaze.
“It’s Jian Xing!”
“Outer Sect’s number two, Jian Xing!”
“They both use swords… Who is stronger?”
“It should be Jian Xing. After all, he has an immortal-grade treasured sword!”
“I think it should be Ling Xiao. Martial tools are just a part of one’s strength. Ling Xiao’s combat power is stronger than Jian Xing’s.”
“Shut up! Whoever is stronger, you will know after the battle. Stop spouting so much nonsense.”
Jian Xing unsheathed his sword, and the outer disciples immediately closed their mouths.
“There is no need to waste time. Since everyone is already here, why don’t we decide victory with one sword move.”
After Ling Xiao spoke, his figure suddenly disappeared from Desperate Tower.
When he reappeared, his finger was already pressing against Jian Xing’s forehead.
“If this were a sword, you would have already died!”
Jian Xing sweated profusely.
His originally fair skin immediately became deathly pale.
“I lost! I admit that you are better than me.”
If you want to make your opponent surrender, then you had to display your strength. Speaking nonsense was useless.
Jian Xing was actually not worse than Jin Ming, but he didn’t have Jin Ming’s defense. This kind of opponent was easier to deal with for Ling Xiao since he could kill the other party in one move.
After his battle with Jin Ming, not only had he gained many insights, but his martial attainments had also increased. Even his cultivation base had broken through to the 30% Half Great Master level.
This sword move was stronger than the ‘Flying Snow’ that he had used to deal with Jin Ming.
Merely, he had used his finger.
“He lost in one move! This Ling Xiao is too terrifying.”
“I’m afraid that even the number one Wang Feng is not his opponent!”
Boom!
Just when everyone was surprised to see Ling Xiao defeat Jian Xing in one move, thunder fell from the sky of the Outer Sect.
“Someone broke through!”
“That’s the direction of Wang Feng’s cave dwelling!”
“Wang Feng broke through to the Transcendent Realm!”
“In other words, isn’t Ling Xiao the undisputed number one?”
“It’s truly a pity. I wanted to see a battle between Ling Xiao and Wang Feng, but it’s hopeless.”
Transcendent Realm!
Ling Xiao took a deep breath.
It had just been a month or so since he had joined the Moonlight Sect, but someone had actually broken through to the Transcendent Realm.
Although Wang Feng had already been the number one expert of the Outer Sect, this breakthrough still made Ling Xiao a bit excited.
