“You all came here today to welcome this old man out of seclusion, so it’s naturally inappropriate for me to leave you all with nothing.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes shone, and they couldn’t help feeling pleasantly surprised.
The Venerable Sir Ling wanted to give them something; it absolutely wouldn’t be an ordinary thing.
Ling Xiao was also excited. Coming here today had been the right decision. Not only had he avenged a past insult and defeated Ling Tieshou, assuring that no one would dare to belittle him any longer, but he would also receive a reward from the Venerable Sir Ling.
This was too wonderful for words.
“Receive this!”
Ling Xiaotian suddenly shouted, and countless white lights shot out from his body, entering the disciples on the square.
“This is a hint of this old man’s gang qi. Intelligent ones can use it to comprehend gang qi. As for the stupid of you all, they can strengthen their bodies with its help. In any case, it will only bring benefits and do no harm.”
After saying this, Ling Xiaotian turned and left.
“Ancestor, it wasn’t worth the trouble. You spend so much for those disciples; it’s not worth it.”
“It wouldn’t matter even if it wasn’t worth it. Nevertheless, I feel that there are a few good seeds among this generation. I originally wanted to accept one as my disciple, but I have other things that need tending to at this moment. I’m afraid I don’t have the time to instruct them, so I only gave them a small benefit. I hope they can use this to successfully improve themselves.”
“Do you mean Ling Yihang? Or Ling Yixue?”
“Those two indeed are promising youths, but…” Ling Xiaotian smiled. Whether intentionally or not, his gaze unexpectedly swept past Ling Xiao.
He then left while chuckling, “The annual competition is about to start. Perhaps, there will be a pleasant surprise this year.”
Ling Xiao examined the hint of gang qi within his body in pleasant surprise.
This was exactly the thing that he most lacked now.
With the analytical ability of his Landscape Martial Soul, he could completely analyze the gang qi’s production process.
Although he couldn’t analyze the Venerable’s strength, he had no problems in analyzing his gang qi.
Ling Yihang left with an elusive smile.
Ling Yixue also left looking anxious.
Ling Feng was even more impatient to take Ling Yu and leave. He wore a look of wild joy.
Ling Tieshou also left. Before leaving, he touched his body where the trace of gang qi was before glaring at Ling Xiao.
“Ling Xiao, today’s humiliation, I will **** wash it off in the annual competition!”
Naturally, most disciples were still ignorant; they couldn’t understand the true use of this trace of this gifted gang qi.
Some people even inwardly lamented that they had come in vain and that the Venerable Sir Ling was truly stingy.
Ling Xiao, however, shook his head. He felt that these people truly didn’t appreciate their good fortunes.
He similarly returned home. He then entered his training room after briefly speaking with his grandfather Hong Qi.
Analyze!
The Landscape Martial Soul activated, beginning to analyze that trace of gang qi!
After about two hours
Ling Xiao could not contain his joy.
His Landscape Martial Soul had clearly traced the gang qi’s entire cycle from birth to growth. Moreover, images of it had been copied.
“Now that the analysis is complete, I should condense my own gang qi!”
Ling Xiao faintly smiled before revolving his <Bull Demon Technique-Condensed Balefulness>, beginning to convert his true qi into gang qi in accordance with Ling Xiaotian’s method.
Although slow at first, as he became more proficient, his converting speed grew faster and faster.
His accumulation was already sufficient.
After remaining at Rank One Martial Vein for so long, his true qi had long flooded every corner of his body down to each of his cells.
When he used Ling Xiaotian’s method to convert his true qi into gang qi, his true qi would gush out in an unending stream. His reserves might have reached the pinnacle below the Rank Three Martial Vein realm.
Ling Xiao guessed that only Ling Yihang could compare to him.
The process of converting all his qi into gang qi was smooth, resembling the saying: ‘where water flows, a canal forms.’
This was because he had already tried many times before. Although he had always failed at the last moment, he had accumulated experience.
This time, because of his comprehension and analysis of Ling Xiaotian’s gang qi, the process was even more refined.
However, when all his true qi was condensed into gang qi, he suddenly felt danger.
Gang qi and true qi were different.
True qi was gentle and soft, but gang qi was violent and fierce.
The gang qi threatened to tear apart his body. The pain was unbearable.
“Ci!”
“Ci!”
“Pop!”
Flesh wounds appeared all over his body, spraying blood all over his floor. If anyone saw this, they would tremble in horror.
“No! If this goes on, I’ll die!”
Ling Xiao suddenly understood why this had happened. Because the true qi within his body was simply too thick, his amount of gang qi after completely converting it all was naturally much greater than the average person’s.
Rank Three Martial Vein martial artists could only bear gang qi to a certain limit, a limit that he had obviously exceeded.
He had never imagined that having thick true qi could be so troublesome.
Ling Xiao bitterly smiled.
Since matters had already come to this, he naturally couldn’t complain. He had to save himself first!
He directly took out the golden wound medicines and healing pills from the Landscape Painting, using them as if they cost no money.
Over and over
Nearly an hour later
He had experienced a pain that had made him wish for death and almost used up all his medicine.
Nevertheless, he had finally tamed that violent gang qi.
While a beast still roared within his body, it had fallen under his control.
Ha!
Ling Xiao suddenly jumped up and roared, emitting a cloud of powerful, blood-red qi. The surrounding walls crackled.
If this were not a training room, it would have already collapsed.
That red qi was the extravasated blood forced out by his gang qi.
It was not a good thing to leave extravasated blood within one’s body.
“Hahaha, I succeeded! I finally converted my qi into gang qi! I’ve already converted the true qi in one martial vein into gang qi!”
Ling Xiao was extremely excited.
Although he had only succeeded with one martial vein, with this time’s success, the next two martial veins would be simple.
As long as he successfully converted and condensed the true qi within all three of his martial veins, he would successfully breakthrough to Rank Four Martial Vein.
He wouldn’t need any external assistance.
He was very excited because his once unattainable dream had now become so easy.
In the past, he had imagined being content as long as he could condense gang qi in this life.
However, he now had lofty dreams.
Converting his true qi into gang qi was only the beginning.
He spread out his left hand, and a ball of soft aura resembling water vapor appeared above it. This was true qi.
He spread out his right hand and manifested a ball of compact aura shaped like a tornado containing. A glance revealed its power. This was gang qi.
Although true qi and gang qi were both energies produced from within a human body, they were very different.
In the past in the entire Elite Hall, only Ling Yihang had comprehended gang qi.
But now, there was one more person, him, Ling Xiao!
He who possessed gang qi would inevitably shine in this annual competition.
