Chapter 89: Unfair Treatment

“Ling Xiao, are you sure you want to choose these three peak martial arts?”

Seeing his choices, Uncle Ling Er had a bitter expression.

“Uncle Ling Er, if you have something to say, you might as well say it. There’s no need to worry so much.”

Ling Xiao said.

Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.

Uncle Ling Er sighed and explained, “This <Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique> was classified as a Superior Peak Martial Art because not only can it confuse opponents, but also its attack power is very powerful. In addition, as the attacks of the three shadow clones and the main body can be superimposed, its power can even approach a legendary Transcendent Martial Art.”

“Then, why is it an Entry Peak Martial Art?”

“Ai, we had no other choice. This martial art is very difficult to practice. After so many years, not even one person in the Ling Clan has ever successfully cultivated it. Without condensing a single clone, cultivating this technique is useless.”

Uncle Ling Er wryly smiled.

“In that case, I want to choose it even more. The fact that other people can’t practice it means it is unique.”

Ling Xiao thought of <Soaring Cloud Steps> and <Bull Demon Technique>, which  he had obtained before, and he felt that there were definitely some reasons this <Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique> had once been classified as a Superior Peak Martial Art.

<Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique> was divided into six layers, and only had one requirement: cultivator had to possess profound skills to create a clone.

Like Uncle Ling Er had stated, the most terrifying aspect of this sword technique was that the clones’ attacks could be superimposed.

Once you cultivated it to the pinnacle, when attacking with the three clones, your attack power would almost double. In terms of pure power, it stood among the best peak martial arts.

“Since you want to choose it, I won’t stop you, but I have to say something.”

Uncle Ling Er sincerely said, “Even our Patriarch once cultivated this martial art, but he was unable to condense a clone and eventually gave up, so a rumor spread. Allegedly, although this martial art is a peak martial art, only a Transcendent cultivator can successfully cultivate it.”

“Uncle Ling Er, do you doubt me?”

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

Uncle Ling Er was stunned before entering contemplation.

<Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> was also an extremely hard-to-cultivate peak martial art, but this boy had been successful. From that aspect, it might not be impossible for him to create another miracle.

“I believe in you!”

Uncle Ling Er decided. “You cultivated basic and advanced martial arts to sublimity. Compared to this kind of talent and comprehension ability, even my old man is no match for you. <Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique> has collected dust for so many years. Perhaps, it truly might be displayed in your hands.”

“Of course.” Ling Xiao answered confidently.

His confidence did not stem from his talent being superior to Ling Xiaotian’s. Instead, the Landscape Martial Soul had already given him the answer.

<Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique>’s method of condensing clones was exactly the same as a Martial Soul Clone. The clones were created via a combination of soul power and gang qi.

Most people didn’t have a martial soul, so they naturally couldn’t condense a clone. As a result, they also couldn’t cultivate this sword technique.

He could.

“If you can successfully cultivate this <Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique>, you might defeat Ling Chen.” Uncle Ling Er rubbed his chin.

“Ling Chen? Is that the same Ling Chen who just returned?” Ling Xiao asked with a frown.

Ling Chen seemed to be very eye-catching. He had received everyone’s attention upon returning. His limelight had completely overshadowed him,who had won this year’s annual competition.

“Yes. That kid has already comprehended a part of an incomplete Transcendent Martial Art. His strength is beyond imagination. He was able to easily defeat Ling Feifan in one move. Can you do that?” Uncle Ling Er asked.

“I can’t for the time being.”

Ling Xiao hesitated before shaking his head.

“Well, you are very modest and honest, but I believe in your potential. It is only a matter of time before you surpass him.”

Uncle Ling Er said with a smile, “But you should be careful. Ling Chen is the son of Ling Shisan, and the Patriarch loves him deeply. I’m afraid he will be taken to the fourth floor to observe the fragments of Transcendent Martial Arts. Moreover, the clan will vigorously nurture him. Perhaps, one or two family treasures like a thousand-year snow lotus will be granted to him.”

“Ling Chen is also Ling Shisan’s son?”

Ling Xiao was somewhat surprised.

“You might not know this, but my younger brother has three sons and a daughter—— Feng, Chen, Yun, and Xia. Only Ling Feng and Ling Yun remained in the clan. Ling Chen worshipped a wandering warrior as his master at the age of 13 and traveled outside. As for Ling Xia, she is even more powerful. You’ll learn about it later.”

Uncle Ling Er made a wry smile and said, “Although you are outstanding, you are an outsider while Ling Chen is the old man’s grandson. He will definitely be treated much better than you.”

He couldn’t do anything for Ling Xiao even though Ling Xiao had earned first in this year’s competition by defeating Ling Feifan, one of the four noble sons of Heavenly Peak City.

According to reason, Ling Xiao was qualified to be brought to the fourth floor.

However, Ling Chen had suddenly returned.

The Ling Clan had a rule regarding the fourth floor of the Library Pavilion. In a year, only two people could observe it.

Ling Chen was one beyond a doubt.

As for the remaining quota, he was afraid that it belonged to Ling Feifan.

As the grandson of the Supreme Elder, Ling Feifan’s status was not inferior to Ling Chen’s.

Uncle Ling Er revealed these things to Ling Xiao not just to earn his favor.

He faced a similar situation to Ling Xiao. Uncle Ling Er was a so-called “illegitimate child” and didn’t have any real position in the clan.

Although his aptitude was extraordinary, and he was the most outstanding among Ling Xiaotian’s thirteen sons, he was not valued.

Until now, Uncle Ling Er still had been unable to bring his biological mother to the Ling Clan’s main residence.

“Many thanks for telling me these things, Uncle Ling Er, but are there really only fragments of Transcendent Martial Arts on the fourth floor? No complete Transcendent Martial Arts?”

Ling Xiao was somewhat excited as he asked.

“As far as I know, none of the four major clans of Heavenly Peak City have a complete Transcendent Martial Art. Even regarding fragments, each only has four or five.”

Uncle Ling Er shook his head. “ Transcendent Martial Arts are martial arts far surpass secular martial arts. Only those martial artists with cultivation above Rank Nine Martial Vein realm are qualified to obtain and cultivate them.”

“So that’s how it is. I’m relieved then.”

If Ling Chen and Ling Feifan had truly obtained Transcendent Martial Arts, he would have no chance.

“Uncle Ling Er, you just said that all three of my peak martial arts are not too suitable. I already know the reason for <Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique>, but what about the others?”

Only allowed on Creativenovels.com

Ling Xiao quickly changed the subject. He didn’t want to dwell on a matter he couldn’t change.

“<Black Iron Sweep Imperial Sword Technique> is a good martial art, but it needs a flying sword technique of at least the advanced martial art level as a foundation. Moreover, it must be cultivated to sublimity; otherwise, it cannot be cultivated.”

Uncle Ling Er added, “Moreover, this martial art also needs a good flying sword, and flying swords are shorter and thinner than ordinary swords, making them difficult to forge and rare.”

“I understand. What about <Condense Soul Formula>?”

Ling Xiao inwardly rejoiced that he had previously cultivated <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique> to sublimity. In addition, he didn’t even need to worry about the flying sword. His breeze sword was a common grade treasure artifact and could be used for a long time.”
