That Li Xinghui truly unconventional.
If he couldn’t defeat the enemies within a short time, he would be the one defeated.
In terms of defense, gang qi, and so on, Li Xinghui was inferior to others at the same realm, but his attack was ridiculously high.
When fighting against this kind of person, one must be able to withstand their strike; otherwise, losing in one move was normal.
“Are you Li Xingyun?”
Suddenly, Ling Chen looked at Li Clan’s pavilion and asked while smiling.
“Yes!”
Li Xinghu was like an unsheathed sharp sword, and his tone was cold.
“I heard that you defeated the other three noble sons in one move last year, but that’s because I was not there. In this year’s noble son competition, I will let you know how powerful I, Ling Chen, am!”
Li Xinghui indifferently looked at Ling Chen and shook his head. “Although you are very powerful, you are still not qualified to defeat me. On the contrary, I can’t see through him.”
Li Xinghui’s gaze turned to Ling Xiao.
This person’s insight was truly sharp. Although Ling Xiao was still using his Peak Rank Five Martial Vein template and didn’t expose any special aura, Li Xinghui still sensed his extraordinariness.
Perhaps, this was the intuition of a true martial artist.
“You!”
Ling Chen’s complexion had a huge change.
He had never expected Li Xinghui to look down on him like this and instead pay such big attention to Ling Xiao.
“Hahahaha!” A loud laughter rang from Ling Clan’s side.
Ling Chen felt like he had been insulted.
“Big Brother Chen, don’t care about it. This is just one of his mental tactics. He wants to disturb your state of mind.”
Ling Tieshou standing beside Ling Chen reminded him.
“There’s no need to remind me. Do you think that I don’t know this? Li Xinghui, you have courage, but in a moment, I will let you know the price of looking down on me.”
Li Xinghui gritted his teeth and warned. After tempering himself outside for four years, he thought that he could sweep through Heavenly Peak City. However, who would have thought that he would be vexed within the clan? Now, Li Xinghui was also looking down on him. He burned with anger and died to display his powerful strength on stage.
“That person praised by Li Xinghui should be Ling Xiao, right? The person who defeated Ling Feifan?”
Although Heavenly Peak City was big, it was not that big. It was impossible to completely conceal anything, especially the results of the Ling Clan’s annual competition. It would be strange if no outsiders knew that Ling Xiao had defeated Ling Feifan.
Therefore, Li Xinghui’s remarks quickly attracted attention.
“Peak Rank Five Martial Vein, this cultivation base is indeed not low. It’s possible for him to defeat Ling Feifan.”
“Later, I have to exchange pointers with him!”
In Heavenly Peak City, there were many Peak Rank Five Martial Vein martial artists. Even among the younger generation, there were dozens, and none of them were convinced by Ling Xiao.
“The City Lord is here——!”
Suddenly, a loud voice resounded, silencing the originally noisy scene.
Not far away, Heavenly Peak City’s City Lord climbed up the stairs with his beloved daughter Shi Yulian, gradually appearing before everybody.
Some boys began to breath faster.
Almost everyone’s gazes focused on Shi Yulian, the beloved daughter of Heavenly Peak City’s City Lord.
The number one beauty of Heavenly Peak City!
The number one expert outside the four noble sons!
Shi Yulian was mysterious and the object of many people’s yearning.
No other sounds besides people swallowing could be heard.
Shi Yulian had a tall figure, and her entire body was a healthy pink, which increased her charm. Her skin was like first-class sheep-fat white jade.
Her gentle smile made her look mature and didn’t match her age. She was like a ripe peach, making people wish to take a bite.
At just 16 years old, this woman already had such an appearance. No wonder she was reputed to be the number one beauty of Heavenly Peak City.
However, for some unknown reason, the moment Ling Xiao saw Shi Yulian, he thought of Ling Yu. These two women were of the same type.
He slightly frowned and immediately lost interest in admiring this beauty.
He truly hoped that this Shi Yulian only resembled Ling Yu on the surface and was not similar to her on the inside; otherwise, it would be a real pity.
In the end, he still admired women like Ling Yixue more.
Without many words, she revealed her true feelings without any artificialness.
Besides, Ling Yixue’s appearance was not inferior to Shi Yulian’s. In fact, it was even better to a certain degree.
He didn’t know what boring person had chosen the number one beauty of Heavenly Peak City, but it had probably been to flatter Heavenly Peak City’s City Lord.
“Cough, cough! Ladies and gentlemen, today, this City Lord is hosting the Heavenly Peak Gathering here to discover the outstanding talents of our Heavenly Peak City…”
The City Lord’s voice awakened many people who had sunken into Shi Yulian’s beauty.
“Ling Xiao, you must not underestimate her. Although she didn’t obtain a position as one of the four noble sons, according to rumor, she had a fortuitous encounter this year, and her strength has soared. Other than the four noble sons, she is not afraid of any other experts.”
Ling Yihang saw that Ling Xiao’s gaze towards Shi Yulian was filled with disdain, so he couldn’t help but warn him: “Moreover, I estimate that she will not be the only new noble son this year.”
“Who is the other?”
Ling Xiao naturally knew how powerful Shi Yulian was. With the Landscape Martial Soul, no young talent present here could escape his eyes.
His attention was quickly attracted to another person in the City Lord’s pavilion.
“He is Shi Feiyu, the adoptive son of the City Lord. In last year’s Heavenly Peak Gathering, he ranked third. His defensive merit law is very amazing!”
“Oh, so that’s how it is. No wonder I felt that he is somewhat similar to me.”
Ling Xiao smiled. In fact, he had actually paid attention to Shi Feiyu because he had felt a special aura from his body that didn’t resemble the Human Race’s.
“It’s probably because both of you have cultivated Peak Defensive Martial Arts.”
Ling Yihang smiled and added, “In Heavenly Peak City, the strongest force is the City Lord Residence’s Shi Clan, followed by the Li, Wang, and finally our Ling Clan.”
“Why do you say that?”
Ling Xiao asked in confusion.
“This ranking is based on the Heavenly Peak Gathering’s results. In the last two years, among the Ling Clan’s disciples, only Ling Feifan was able to enter the top ten. Meanwhile, all four participants of the City Lord Residence entered the top ten, three from the Li Clan entered the top ten, and two from the Wang Clan. Moreover, even after the top ten places, Ling Clan’s participants ranked at the bottom, inferior to even some small clans.”
Li Yihang sighed. “You’ve probably already heard that Heavenly Peak Gathering relates to each clan’s position, territory, and resources in Heavenly Peak City. Our Ling Clan has suffered much in recent years.”
“This year will be different.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
“Humph, if the participants had been those on the original name list, no need to talk about Ling Feng, even Ling Yun wouldn’t have made it into the top ten. At most, Ling Chen and I could have.”
Ling Yihang snorted, “The change in the namelist is pretty good. Other than Ling Yixue, it shouldn’t be a problem for the three of us to break into the top ten.”
“You are underestimating Senior Apprentice Sister Yixue.”
Ling Xiao smiled. “In this grand event, all four participants of the Ling Clan will definitely enter the top ten; moreover, their ranking will not be low.”
“Since you say that, I’ll believe you since your insight is much better than mine.”
Ling Yihang nodded. “This year, our Ling Clan will finally feel proud and elated. Otherwise, we truly won’t be able to walk down the streets with our head held high.”
