“Rank Five Martial Vein! The second layer of the Gang Qi stage! I’m not his opponent!”
Ling Xiao frowned. Without a breakthrough, it was impossible for him to defeat Ling Shisan.
However, he wouldn’t have any problem escaping.
But Ling Xiao didn’t run.
He planned to give it a try!
Perhaps, in this dangerous situation, he would breakthrough?
True geniuses were all madmen. If they didn’t dare to take risks, how would they progress?
The other party’s aura was very terrifying. This powerful aura coordinated with gang qi placed huge pressure on Ling Xiao.
However, the greater the pressure, the stronger his fighting spirit would grow.
The gang qi in his body began wriggling.
91%!
92%!
93%!
……
99%!
Under the terrifying pressure, his true qi continuously converted into gang qi. Now, 99% of his third martial vein had been converted.
He was just a step away from breaking through to Rank Four Martial Vein.
He could breakthrough at any time now!
His accumulations were already more than sufficient!
Sure enough, not escaping had beene right choice!
Ling Xiao was very excited. Just a moment ago, if he had turned around and fled using <Soaring Cloud Steps-Flood Dragon Transformation>, not even Ling Shisan would have been able to catch him.
However, he absolutely wouldn’t have made such great progress.
“Uncle Shisan, I only blocked Ling Feng’s attack, nothing more. The reason he was so seriously injured is because of his gang qi’s backlash. What does it have to do with me?”
Ling Xiao faintly replied while continuously refining his true qi.
“Vile spawn, you still dare to argue at this moment! Forget it! Since you are a disciple of the Ling Clan, I will spare you life! But you must be crippled today!”
After speaking, he no longer hesitated.
He directly thrust at Ling Xiao’s chest with his palm.
“Enough!”
As Ling Xiao prepared to use his gang qi to go all out, the head judge made a move.
Just a light wave of his hand dissipated Ling Shisan’s attack.
“Elder! He is so ruthless! He seriously injured my son. Do you want to drop this matter just like this?”
Ling Shisan didn’t have a hint of defiance in front of the head judge.
He was furious, but he didn’t dare disobey. He was bound to eat a loss today.
“This is a competition square! It’s the site of the annual competition! It’s not a place you can run wild!”
The head judge coldly berated.
His meaning was very clear. Ling Shisan could not move against Ling Xiao during the competition. However, he wouldn’t care later.
Ling Shisan seemed to realize the judge’s meaning. He glared at Ling Xiao and said. “Boy, today, I will give Elder face, but my son’s enmity will be settled!”
Finished speaking, he stomped away.
This Ling Shisan was a straightforward person and more vicious than the treacherous and crafty Ling Jiu.
Ling Jiu cared about the Venerable Sir Ling’s opinion, but Ling Shisan didn’t because he knew that he would never become the next patriarch. He lacked the aptitude.
Therefore, when he promised to take revenge, he was absolutely not falsely posturing.
“Youngster, watch out for yourself. Every person is responsible for their own actions. Others can’t help you!”
The head judge looked at Ling Xiao. He wouldn’t favor anyone; he only spoke the truth.
“This junior knows!”
Naturally, Ling Xiao was clear about what he would face in the future. However, would that make him show mercy toward Ling Feng?
Absolutely not!
Because if he showed mercy out of fear for the other party’s father, it would malign his martial path and will.
Like that, the losses would definitely outweigh the gains.
“He actually won! And he was fearless even when facing Ling Feng’s father! How can that be? How can that be…”
In the crowd, Ling Yu, who had originally had a ruddy, excited complexion, had turned deathly pale.
Originally, she had looked forward to seeing Ling Feng defeat Ling Xiao. Then, all her humiliation would have been returned with interest.
However, the final result made her fall from the high heavens to the abyss, and she despaired.
Was he really that little beggar who she had once bullied as she pleased?
Without her knowing, he had actually grown to this point.
It was impossible to say that she had no regrets.
Now, Ling Yu truly regretted that she hadn’t persisted and stayed beside him.
Ling Feng, that trash, was useless.
She coldly stared at Ling Xiao as she plotted.
Because of Ling Feng’s severe injury, the match between him and Ling Yihang wouldn’t occur.
Therefore, the most exciting moment would come now.
“This is the last match of the elimination round: Ling Yihang vs. Ling Xiao!”
At present, only these two disciples had winning streaks.
The former was ranked first in the Elite Hall, and the latter was the biggest dark horse of this competition.
This naturally attracted countless people.
Ling Shuang, Genius Hall’s rank three, had come.
Ling Yun, Genius Hall’s rank two, had also come.
Only Ling Feifan had not appeared.
“Oh? This is unexpected. I thought it would be Ling Yihang vs. Ling Yixue for first place. I didn’t expect a dark horse. It’s interesting!”
Ling Shuang was a girl. Her appearance conformed with the average of society, but her figure was extremely good because she practiced martial arts.
Her character was also different from Ling Yixue’s. Although she was a girl, she was very explosive.
After arriving at the audience stand, she observed Ling Yiahang and Ling Xiao on the martial stage with curiosity.
“Junior Apprentice Sister, who do you think will win?” asked Ling Yun.
“I’m not sure.” Ling Shuang shook her head.
“You aren’t sure?”
Everyone was somewhat confused.
In their opinion, it was obvious. Ling Yihang had already mastered gang qi and had long reached Peak Rank Three Martial Vein.
As for Ling Xiao, he still hadn’t shown any signs of having gang qi.
Looking from this aspect, it was obvious that Ling Yihang would win.
“Yes, this Ling Xiao is very mysterious. I think he definitely has some other hidden cards. Although I didn’t see his previous matches, my intuition has always been very accurate.”
Ling Shuang explained.
“Even if he has other hidden cards, it’s impossible for him to be Ling Yihang’s opponent. Do you dare to guarantee that Ling Yihang doesn’t also have hidden cards?”
Ling Yun replied.
“That’s why I said that I’m not sure. These two people and that Ling Yixue will be disrupters in the finals. You should be careful. Perhaps, these three people might squeeze into the top ten.”
Ling Shuang chuckled and no longer spoke.
The two people on the martial stage were now prepared.
“Admit defeat! You are not my opponent!”
Ling Yihang put his hands behind his back and watched the sky as if Ling Xiao were not even worth looking at.
His words proved that he disdained Ling Xiao.
“That’s not necessarily the case!”
Ling Xiao smirked.
“You can advance to the finals. There is no need to make a fool out of yourself. Only the top four of the Genius Hall are my opponents.”
Ling Yihang truly considered himself the best in the world.
“Perhaps, but that’s only because you haven’t encountered someone yet, nothing more.”
Ling Xiao was neither haughty nor humble.
“Fine, since that’s the case, if you can take my three moves, I will admit defeat.” Ling Yihang challenged. He didn’t want to waste time.
“Then, you are sure to lose!” Ling Xiao replied.
Ling Xiao also didn’t want to waste time. After all, the real battles were the finals. This was just the elimination rounds.
Even if he obtained first, that was just first in the Elite Hall.
“First move!”
Ling Yihang didn’t talk nonsense. He punched.
This punch was very simple. It was not even a martial art, only a casual punch.
Merely, it had gang qi.
This would be enough!
