Breaking through to the Martial Master realm in seven days?
General Ninth Month thought that he had heard Ling Xiao wrong.
Was the Martial Master realm something you could breakthrough to whenever you wished?
The Hidden Dragon Battalion had many geniuses who had stalled at the Peak Rank Six Martial Vein realm for one or two years. Even those still stuck there after three of four years could be found everywhere.
None of them dared to claim they could breakthrough when they wanted.
Even Murong Shao, who was very optimistic, had reached Peak Rank Six Martial Vein over a year ago. As for Ling Xiao, he had broken through to Peak Rank Six Martial Vein these past few days, but he dared to be so confident.
“Ling Xiao, it is better to be steadfast in the martial path.”
Because of Lin Ze, General Ninth Month was quite concerned about Ling Xiao; he didn’t want Ling Xiao to turn over-confident.
Ling Xiao smiled without explaining anything.
He had the Landscape Martial Soul, so he was very clear about his situation.
After three days of fighting, his energy had already accumulated. Breaking through was a matter of course, nothing unexpected.
“General Ninth Month, if there’s nothing else, can I go back?”
He stood up and prepared to leave.
He couldn’t delay any longer.
“By the way, you now have 120 military merit points, so you can go to the Military Merit Hall and exchange them for rewards.”
General Ninth Moon reminded him.
“Thank you for your reminder, General Ninth Moon.”
By the time Ling Xiao arrived at the Military Merit Hall, many of the Hidden Dragon Battalion’s disciples had already begun to exchange for rewards, be it martial arts, weapons, worldly treasures, or something more exotic.
The more military merit points you had, the more choices you had to buy. Ling Yixue obtained a worldly treasure that would speed up her cultivation.
With her current situation, time was scarce. She had to step into the Transcendent Realm as soon as possible to increase her lifespan.
She didn’t have much desire towards martial arts; moreover, she had just received <Soul Seizing Palm> from Ling Xiao, a Peak Martial Art. Coupled with the martial arts in her memory, they were enough.
Yin Ran similarly exchanged for medicinal herbs that would assist his cultivation.
Murong Shao did the same. Now, he wanted to breakthrough to Rank Seven Martial Vein, so he feared that True Essence Pills alone wouldn’t be enough; therefore, he exchanged for some supplementary medicinal herbs.
“Ling Xiao, wait for me! After I emerge from seclusion, I will definitely swap pointers with you.”
Seeing Ling Xiao walking towards the Military Merit Hall, Murong Shao sneered before quickly retreating to his house.
Ling Xiao ignored him.
Although he wanted to kill Murong Shao, this was the Hidden Dragon Battalion, so he couldn’t make a move here.
While heading towards the Military Merit Hall, he met Shi Lei and Hua Nongying.
Both of them had exchanged their points for Peak Martial Arts.
With their current strengths, it was very unlikely for them to make breakthroughs within a short period of time. Therefore, it was appropriate for them to choose Peak Martial Arts.
Hua Nongying just smiled and nodded at Ling Xiao before leaving.
Shi Lei cupped his hands and said: “Brother Ling, hereafter, if you encounter any problem within the Hidden Dragon Battalion, tell me! I promise to resolve it.”
“Many thanks, Brother Shi.”
Ling Xiao had a very good impression of Shi Lei.
After exchanging their greetings, the two went their separate ways.
Shi Lei went back to study his martial art while Ling Xiao went to the Military Merit Hall to exchange for a Quasi-Transcendent Martial Art and some pills.
The Quasi-Transcendent Martial Art cost him 100 military merit points.
However, it matched his <Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique> and was named <Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique>.
A martial art secret technique without attack or defense power, it couldn’t even improve his gang qi or true essence, but it could create shadow clones to aid his cultivation.
With <Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique>, his shadow clones, including his Martial Soul Clone, could all cultivate like his main body.
When these clones returned to his main body, their cultivation experiences would be absorbed.
Naturally, this required the support of strong soul power. If one’s soul power were exhausted, it couldn’t be used.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao had cultivated <Condense Soul Art> in the Ling Clan, so his soul power was much higher than an ordinary martial artist’s. Furthermore, with his Landscape Martial Soul, his innate soul was already very powerful.
In the entire Hidden Dragon Battalion, only he could properly use <Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique>.
……
After returning to his room, Ling Xiao gave all his pills to Leng Mei, including Gang Qi Pills, low-grade spirit stones, and a golden snow lotus; these things couldn’t enter his eyes.
In addition, he also gave her a Peak Martial Art called <Shadow Kill Technique>.
This was a Superior Peak Martial Skill he had obtained from the Blue-Eyed Boss’s storage ring and was very compatible with her Snow Plum Incomplete Soul.
Naturally, he did this to win her over.
In addition, Leng Mei could be regarded as one of his teammates, but she hadn’t received any military merit points, which was very unfair.
“Many thanks, Captain!”
Her hands shook as she received that Superior Peak Martial Art.
As a servant, not to mention a Peak Martial Art, even learning an Advanced Martial Art was very difficult.
“Okay, quickly go cultivate. Just stay in this room, and don’t call me captain hereafter. You can call me Brother Ling.”
Ling Xiao waved his hands.
“How can I do that? Since Captain doesn’t like this form of address, how about I address you as Noble Son?”
Leng Mei hastily said.
“Never mind. Do as you please.”
Ling Xiao closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
Leng Mei took a deep breath, controlled her excitement, sat down cross-legged, and ate the pills, before comprehending <Shadow Kill Technique>.
At the same time, the other Hidden Dragon Battalion’s geniuses cultivated.
They had all more or less exchanged their military points for rewards. Combined with their newfound battle experience, it was a perfect time to cultivate.
These geniuses were already very talented; with the added benefit of pills, some people’s cultivation bases rapidly improved.
Some broke through from Rank Five Martial Vein to Rank Six Martial Vein.
Some ascended from Initial Rank Six Martial Vein.
Similarly, there were also those who didn’t make a breakthrough but improved in their martial arts.
Time passed slowly.
More and more disciples of the Hidden Dragon Battalion made breakthroughs. In the past few days, excited Hidden Dragon Battalion disciples would extol their successes almost every day.
Three days later, Leng Mei opened her eyes and looked at her hands in excitement.
Breakthrough!
In just three days, she directly entered Peak Rank Six Martial Vein from Initial Rank Six Martial Vein.
Not only that, but she had also comprehended 70-80% of <Shadow Kill Technique>.
Although her aptitude was impressive, her cultivation speed absolutely shouldn’t be this fast.
Suddenly, she understood everything upon sensing a special aura in the air.
This was not because of herself but rather Ling Xiao.
A strange martial art law overflowed from Ling Xiao’s aura. This martial art law not only marked his rapid improvement but also made it easier for her to learn martial arts.
She turned her head and found that the original Ling Xiao had unexpectedly become five.
Moreover, each sat cross legged and cultivated, corresponding with the five elements.
“Noble Son is truly extraordinary. Following him was the right choice!”
Leng Mei just watched for a moment, before leaving the room.
<Shadow Kill Technique> was a martial skill, and she could no longer improve it by merely sitting here and cultivating. Therefore, she planned to go out and help Ling Xiao by becoming his dharma protector.
