Having hidden trumps didn’t mean that his strength was sufficient.
There were still many difficulties in front of him.
He had obtained his current status with his strength.
To consolidate and improve his status, he had to keep moving forward!
He closed his eyes and began to cultivate <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>.
Cultivating a peak internal core law was very difficult even though he had the cold pond gold liquid, golden snow lotuses, and gang qi pills.
After all, he had already cultivated <Snow Lotus Qi Formula> to the fifth layer and entered the mastery realm.
However, one shouldn’t give up just because of something’s difficulty.
He swallowed three gang qi pills at once.
After all, his current cultivation was not low. If he only used one gang qi pill, it wouldn’t have much effect.
After eating the gang qi pills, his gang qi circulated faster and with more power. His fifth martial vein also began to expand.
Martial veins that had been thoroughly tempered strengthened.
Even if a martial artist succeeded in attacking all nine martial veins, the matter wasn’t over.
Martial veins were where internal energy was stored. Regardless of the type of your internal energy—— be it true qi or gang qi—— all were stored and stimulated via the martial veins.
The stronger one’s martial veins, the higher the quality and quantity of one’s gang qi.
Tempering one’s martial veins was a lifelong matter. Breaking through was just the first step.
His gang qi pills turned into pure gang qi and entered his fifth martial vein, but he didn’t dare to be careless and quickly absorbed it with <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>.
Meanwhile, his Landscape Martial Soul operated to draw out a tendril of cold qi from the cold pond gold liquid stored in the Landscape World and integrate it into his body and converge with the gang qi.
Because his gang qi’s quantity had already reached the Rank Seven Martial Vein level, attacking Peak Rank Five Martial vein was quite easy.
After dinner, he continued cultivating.
In less than two hours, he completely absorbed the three gang qi pills, and his fifth martial vein was completely opened, smoothly reaching Peak Rank Five Martial Vein.
His alarming quantity of gang qi was mere quantity.
Advancing to the Peak Rank Five Martial Vein realm, however, was a big step forward.
If he were to fight Ling Feifan now, victory would be easy.
After all, Ling Feifan’s cultivation was also Peak Rank Five Martial Vein.
However, Ling Feifan was inferior in terms of physical strength, techniques, gang qi quantity, and more. Naturally, he was not his opponent.
After reaching Peak Rank Five Martial Vein, he encountered another hurdle, preventing him from continuing. Therefore, he planned to do something else first.
That blue-robed woman’s finger had been replaying again and again in his mind, making it difficult for him to calm down and cultivate, so he planned to investigate that move first.
Even if he couldn’t comprehend its true essence, as long as he could comprehend 10%, it could become his trump card.
Thinking this, he summoned a person that looked exactly like him.
That was his Martial Soul Clone, possessing 30% of his power.
However, this Martial Soul Clone’s greatest advantage was not its strength but rather its ability to copy others.
The Martial Soul Clone could imitate any move he had previously seen.
Ling Xiao adjusted his strength to the level of the Martial Soul Clone and ordered the Martial Soul Clone to use that blue robed woman’s attack.
“Come, attack me at full power!”
Ling Xiao’s entire body emitted a golden radiance as he used the sixth transformation of <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>.
He didn’t dare to be careless.
After all, that blue-robed woman’s move was honestly too terrifying.
Even a peak rank eight demonic beast, the Heracles Ape, had been instantly killed by her finger. Nevertheless, since the Martial Soul Clone’s cultivation base was much lower, the might of that move should also be much less.
However, he couldn’t be careless due to his suppressed strength.
If he were killed by his Martial Soul Clone, that would be a joke.
He didn’t let this Martial Soul Clone be lenient.
Only by tempering yourself with life and death, could you hone your real fighting skills.
Suddenly, Ling Xiao used Soaring Cloud Steps and rushed at the Martial Soul Clone, turning into a golden light. His fist shot out like a meteorite.
He also didn’t intend to be lenient.
In any case, the Martial Soul Clone could always be recreated. As long as he had sufficient spiritual power and gang qi, he didn’t need to fear losing it.
At this moment, the Martial Soul Clone quietly stood still before suddenly pointing at him.
Colorless gang qi appeared before Ling Xiao’s eyes and blended with the natural world. Without the Landscape Martial Soul, he wouldn’t have noticed it.
“Damn it!”
Ling Xiao intuitively felt that something was wrong and hastily changed his fists toward defense, directly blocking in front of him.
However, in the next moment, his entire body trembled and pain tingled from his arms to his chest.
“Stop!”
Ling Xiao shouted at the Martial Soul Clone.
Without moving, the clone had penetrated his arms and body.
Fortunately, he had avoided his vitals at the critical moment; otherwise, he might have really died in the training room without knowing what had happened.
What kind of move was this? How was it so terrifying? Was this a legendary transcendent martial art?
Ling Xiao shook his head.
He feared no one could tell him the answer.
At least, no one he knew now.
If he could learn this move, he would truly become invincible in the same realm.
“Where did that blue-robed woman come from? If she wanted to destroy Heavenly Peak City, no one could stop her.”
Thinking this, Ling Xiao inhaled a mouthful of cold air.
When he was a child, he had often heard his grandfather Hong Qi tell stories he had learned on the road.
The outside world was not as peaceful as Heavenly Peak City; no one knew when war might erupt.
No one knew which city might be destroyed one day.
In the entire world, the Human Race was the lowest race, and in this world, there were no less than ten thousand races.
All the other races were stronger than the Human Race.
The Human Race had lost the Martial Souls they had once relied on to dominate the world!
And now, very few human martial artists could awaken a martial soul, leading to the unfavorable condition of the Human Race.
Naturally, in the past, he had regarded it as a mere story.
However, after seeing that blue-robed woman, he didn’t think like that anymore.
Although that blue-robed woman had had a human appearance, Ling Xiao believed that she shouldn’t be a human because her aura was very different.
The Landscape Martial Soul also indicated the same.
Merely, he didn’t know what race she belonged to.
The gap in strength between them was too big, affecting the Landscape Martial Soul.
“I should work harder to keep on living! For the sake of my loved ones!”
The current Ling Xiao didn’t have any mighty goal. He did not work hard for the Human Race.
He was not qualified.
With his current strength, many people could easily kill him.
He wanted to become stronger, and the best way would be to comprehend that terrifying finger of the blue-robed woman.
“Come again!”
