Dai Yuling wryly smiled and said: “Fortunately, you’re fine. Otherwise, I would have become a great sinner.”
Although her words were simple, she was truly grateful to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao had initiated today’s battles for her.
Lan Yu’er’s gaze was rather complicated. She had once been an outstanding genius in the sect, so her motivation had faltered, and she had slacked a little in cultivation. Otherwise, she might have already stepped into the Celestial Realm.
However, after seeing Ling Xiao, she truly knew that her efforts were far from enough. If she continued to fool around, this kid might easily surpass her.
Zhao Ci, the princess of Northern Han Country, was also so surprised that her little mouth was wide open. She didn’t understand why Heaven was so unfair, letting this cruel fellow’s strength improve so quickly.
Zhao Zhi, the prince of Northern Han Country, just smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He was very fortunate that he hadn’t challenged Ling Xiao previously. Otherwise, the result might have been even more embarrassing.
Back then, when they had just entered the sect, he had once thought himself to be the most outstanding person in the Outer Sect.
Leng Hao had proven himself first.
Now, there was Ling Xiao.
Leng Hao was a person with outstanding talent and valued by Golden Light Celestial Worthy.
However, Ling Xiao’s talent was not as good as his, but in terms of cultivation and strength, the other party had far surpassed him.
Now, he felt that he was more and more unable to see through this junior brother who had entered the Moonlight Sect with him.
“Elder Black, what do you think? Is Ling Xiao worthy of being the number one of the Outer Sect?”
Elder White looked at Elder Black and asked.
“Humph, it’s not easy to be the number one of the Outer Sect. Even if the top-three are inferior to him, there are still others within the top-ten. In addition, there are also over a thousand disciples in the Outer Sect. Not all wouldn’t dare to challenge him.”
Elder White snorted.
“Hehe, what you are saying is a matter of the future. Ling Xiao has defeated Wang Feng. Now, he is the number one of the Outer Sect. Who doesn’t dare to accept it?”
Elder White smiled. In the past, Elder Black had always ridiculed him with the support of Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy. But today, he was able to completely vent.
If someone said that Ling Xiao didn’t want the number one title, that would not necessarily be the truth.
After all, the resources and treatment for the number one of the Outer Sect were better than all the other disciples.
Therefore, Ling Xiao immediately received a new cave dwelling.
This cave dwelling was much better: the spiritual qi was richer, and the monthly salary he could receive was more than other outer disciples.
It was at least thirty times the salary of the rank-thirty outer disciple.
Furthermore, that evening, when Ling Xiao met Desperate Tower Master, the other party also gave him his promised reward.
“Ling Xiao, I’m very satisfied with your performance in Desperate Tower, so I’ll give you a chance to go to the Inner Sect’s Moonlight Tower and choose a rare gold-grade martial art. You can choose any type. It doesn’t matter when you choose to do it, but you can only remain in the Moonlight Tower for an hour.”
A rare gold-grade martial art!
Ling Xiao couldn’t help smiling.
His internal core law <Snow Lotus True Solution> was a quasi-gold-grade martial art, so it could not keep up with his current cultivation base. It was absolutely necessary for him to choose a gold-grade internal core law.
He already possessed a superior gold-grade defense martial art <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> as well as a rare gold-grade sword technique <Snow Lotus Sword Art>.
Therefore, he was very clear that a single grade difference between gold-grade martial arts was very big, not to mention the gap between quasi-gold-grade martial arts and gold-grade martial arts.
Even between an entry and rare gold-grade martial art, the gap between them was worlds apart.
In the Moonlight Sect, outer disciples could only get entry gold-grade martial arts while the inner disciples were qualified to learn rare gold-grade martial arts!
Ling Xiao knew clearly how precious this chance was.
“This is a special entry permit for the Moonlight Tower, but it can only be used once, so choose carefully.”
After giving him a token, Desperate Tower Master let Ling Xiao leave.
Although Ling Xiao felt that this Tower Master’s aura was familiar, he still didn’t dare to confirm it. After all, such knowledge might be life-threatening.
If this person was truly someone he was familiar with and wanted to reveal the identity, the other party would take the initiative to tell him. Ling Xiao didn’t need to mull over this matter.
After returning to his new cave dwelling, Ling Xiao didn’t rush to choose a martial art.
He wanted to reach his best condition first. After all, he only had an hour. If he was not in a superb condition, it would be very troublesome.
Naturally, while recovering, he didn’t forget the task Venerable Yuan had given him——
Refining Fire Snake Array
In addition to internal core laws, he was looking forward to cultivating in Vast Wintry Hall.
Although Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy had set his eyes on him now, as long as he was inside the sect and under the protection of Yang Danlin, Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy wouldn’t dare to do anything.
Naturally, he could still pressure Ling Xiao through Hei Suo and others.
However, unless Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy made a move in person, Ling Xiao was not afraid.
Merely, he couldn’t leave the sect for the time being. Otherwise, it would truly be dangerous unless he had a powerhouse leaving with him, or he had the ability to save his life from Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy.
Cultivation was one aspect, formations another.
Naturally, there was also alchemy.
If he could truly refine outstanding pills, it wouldn’t be impossible to hire even a Celestial Realm expert as a guard, but this path would take a long time.
After sensing that his condition had been restored to the peak, Ling Xiao left his cave dwelling, ready to enter the Inner Sect’s Moonlight Tower.
However, he went to visit Dai Yuling first because he wanted to know her current situation. Moreover, he also wanted to check whether she had been bullied these past few days.
The situation was better than he had imagined. His thunderous methods had terrified all the outer disciples.
In addition, since Yang Danlin had personally stepped forward versus Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy, the elders and deacons of the Outer Sect didn’t dare to easily offend Ling Xiao.
Otherwise, it might be their turn to be miserable.
The attitudes of Elder Black and Elder White were also clear.
Elder Black was determined to wear the same pants as Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy while Elder White was backing Ling Xiao.
When passing by the Outer Sect and Medicine Hall, many outer disciples treated him respectfully. Whether it was genuine or fake, they all called him ‘Senior Brother Ling.’
It was a weird feeling to rise all the way to the Outer Sect’s senior brother from being its youngest junior brother, especially when someone twice his age addressed him as a senior brother.
However, this was reality. If you were stronger, then the other party would need to be respectful to you even if he was older.
Originally, Ling Xiao had never planned to be so high-profile. His original plan had been to enter the Inner Sect in one fell swoop after breaking through to the Transcendent Realm. However, now that he had become the number one of the Outer Sect, it was actually good.
He could trample the entire Outer Sect with one foot.
