The moment Ling Feifan’s momentum erupted, those over 108 participants closest to the martial stage couldn’t help but retreat.
At that instant, it was like raging flames were rushing towards their faces, ready to burn them into ashes.
“So terrifying, Ling Xiao is finished!”
Ling Shuang shook her head. Originally, she had expected Ling Xiao to fight against Ling Yun and help her out, but beyond her expectations, Ling Xiao was actually stupid enough to challenge Ling Feifan.
“That’s not necessarily the case!”
Ling Yihang sitting at the side faintly explained, “You all have been standing at the top, forgetting that the greatest danger lies below your feet. If you are not careful, you might break your bones.”
“You think so highly of Ling Xiao? Is it because you lost to him?”
Ling Shuang smiled and teased.
“Yes, only after fighting him, will you understand that all tricks have no meaning in front of him. He is a combat genius who can see through everything!”
Ling Yihang maintained an indifferent expression.
Originally, he had thought that he could defeat Ling Xiao if he trained his blade techniques without sparing any effort.
However, looking at Ling Xiao who was facing Ling Feifan’s terrifying momentum without a frown, he understood the truth.
Not only had he not caught up with Ling Xiao, the other party had instead left him far behind. “Humph, if you look down on Ling Xiaol, you all will cry.”
Ling Tieshou had also had a run-in with Ling Xiao and exchanged blows with him. Therefore, he knew best how terrifying Ling Xiao was.
The one who knew you best was not a friend but your enemy.
“These people of the Genius Hall are used to being arrogant. Today, they have met a worthy opponent. After exchanging blows, you all will know how laughable you people are.”
Ling Fei shook his head with a wry smile. He too had provoked Ling Xiao before. After that defeat, he had started paying close attention to him.
Therefore, he knew exactly how terrifying Ling Xiao was.
“Show me your actual strength. I believe you are not a reckless person.”
Ling Yixue muttered.
“I don’t need one hour! I will make you roll off the stage in one move!”
Ling Feifan didn’t make any big moves. He clenched his right hand into a fist, that seemed to transform into a ball of fire, before directly shooting towards Ling Xiao.
Although this fist didn’t look very brilliant, its power was terrifying. This fist alone could severely injure an initial stage Rank Five Martial Vein martial artist.
“It’s over.”
Ling Shuang shook her head; she didn’t take Ling Yihang’s words seriously.
“No, Ling Feifan has underestimated his opponent too much. He will be embarrassed! At that time, I was also defeated like this!”
Ling Yihang made a wry smile. At that time, he had also somewhat looked down upon his opponent. He had predicted that a fist wrapped in gang qi would be enough to defeat Ling Xiao whose cultivation had been just at the Peak Rank Three Martial Vein realm.
However, that fellow Ling Xiao had never shown all his hidden trumps.
“Impossible! Even Ling Yun and I would be seriously injured if we didn’t use our full power to block this fist.”
Ling Shuang subconsciously thought that Ling Xiao was inferior to herself and Ling Yun.
“Really? Well, then let’s see the result.”
Ling Yihang didn’t speak more and focused on the stage. He didn’t want to miss this wonderful scene.
“A foolish attack!”
Ling Xiao sighed. What number one genius?
This Ling Feifan was hopelessly stupid. This was a competition. If you dared to look down upon an unfamiliar opponent like this, you would definitely bitterly pay.
You might even lose to an opponent whom you could easily defeat because of a slight moment of carelessness.
Although Ling Clan might be pretty good in Heavenly Peak City, in the entire Northern Hal Country and world, it was too lacking.
Ling Xiao couldn’t help but recall that blue-robed woman he had encountered in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range.
That woman had absolutely been less than 30 years old, but the strength she had displayed was enough to destroy Heavenly Peak City.
From that moment, his outlook had completely changed.
In the past, he had only sought to defeat the four noble sons of Heavenly Peak City, and he imagined people like Ling Xiation to be the strongest.
However, from the moment he first saw that blue-robed woman, he had yearned to look outside.
In the outside world, what level of expert was that blue-robed woman?
He thought of all this in an instant.
He didn’t take Ling Feifan’s fist lightly.
Although his hands didn’t move, his <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> had already begun to operate.
“Boom!”
The heavy attack hit Ling Xiao’s body, and surging flames collided against the protective wall behind him, tearing open a small hole.
The higher-ups of the Ling Clan panicked and hastily used all their energy to repair and reinforce the protective wall.
If even the protective wall had been broken, what about Ling Xiao?
He hadn’t died, had he?
Many people asked such questions.
However, they were surprised. Ling Xiao unexpectedly calmly stood at the same spot. His entire body emitted golden light like an undefeated War God.
Ling Feifan had taken the initiative to attack, but he had been forced two or three meters back before regaining his balance. His astonishment was clear.
What had happened?
Seeing this scene, all of Ling Clan’s disciples and higher-ups were stupefied.
No one had expected this result. Not even the people who had supported Ling Xiao.
Ling Feifan had taken the initiative to attack, but not to mention damaging Ling Xiao’s hair, he hadn’t even damaged his clothes.
What was that golden radiance?
What defensive martial art was that?
“No wonder you were so calm. You actually cultivated a peak defensive martial art!”
Shaking his tingling hand, Ling Feifan quickly recovered from his shock: “Now, you are worthy of letting me know your name.”
“Hehe, it’s a pity that you are not worthy of making me tell you my name.”
Ling Xiao indifferently added, “A flower in a greenhouse, a so-called genius guarded by so many, how can he know what being truly powerful means!”
On the surface, his words mocked Ling Feifan, but he was also mocking those people who had supported Ling Feifan.
These people had spoiled Ling Feifan, and because of that, he considered himself the most important person, forgetting that the world outside was much crueler than inside this greenhouse.
“Nine Transformation Golden Body Art! That’s the Nine Transformation Golden Body Art!”
In the audience, a senior member of the Ling Clan shouted, “Moreover, looking at this kid’s state, it has already been cultivated to the small success realm, the fifth transformation!”
“The peak defensive martial art <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>? That martial art, however, is very difficult to cultivate. He actually cultivated it to the fifth transformation without help? Where did he get the gold?”
“Yea, as far as I know, reaching the fifth transformation consumes at least a million taels of gold!”
“His cultivation base is just Peak Rank Four Martial Vein, but his defensive power must have already surpassed initial stage Rank Five Martial Vein. No wonder Ling Feifan’s punch was unable to damage him!”
“This kid is truly a genius. He was able to cultivate the most difficult peak martial art to the fifth transformation. In the entire Northern Han Country, he might be the only one to reach this level before 20.”
“Hahaha, good boy, I really didn’t misjudge you!”
Uncle Ling Er might have been the happiest person here.
For a long time, he had been on tenterhooks. He had feared that Ling Xiao wouldn’t withstand a single move, which would have been too disgraceful.
But now, he suddenly felt that he truly had the skill to judge true talent.
The facts proved that it had all been worthwhile to make friends with Ling Xiao and risk offending Ling Jiu and Ling Shisan.
