Chapter 17: One Move Again!
“Don’t speak nonsense. If you want to attack, then attack!”
Ling Xiao didn’t like taking the initiative to cause trouble, but he wasn’t afraid of it. Furthermore, the current Ling Chong no longer even entered his eyes.
In addition, Ling Jiu had obstructed his cultivation. Since I can’t beat you, can’t I sort out your son?
“Hehe, interesting! You actually aren’t afraid?”
Ling Chong sneered. “Don’t think that just because you broke through to Rank Two Martial Vein, that you can dance around this noble son. Today, you will kneel!”
He had the capital to look down upon Ling Xiao since he had reached Peak Rank Two Martial Vein nearly half a year ago. In addition, he had cultivated an advanced martial art.
“You’re spewing too much nonsense. I still have to go treat my grandpa.”
Ling Xiao disdainfully glanced at Ling Chong. The current Ling Chong was like a clown before him.
“Smelly kid! You insolent!”
When Ling Chong realized that this trash who he had bullied for nearly a year was unexpectedly looking down on him, his heart immediately burst into flames, and he poured all his true qi into his palms.
Now, his Giant Spirit Divine Palm had become several times stronger than the last time after receiving personal guidance from his father.
In addition, his father had gotten him a lot of pills that increased his true qi.
He was full of confidence.
A palm shot out like a giant spirit had descended to the earth. Just the wind brought by its passing blew Ling Xiao’s hair.
“My God, Ling Chong has already comprehended <Giant Spirit Divine Palm> to this extent! I fear he can display at least 30% of its power.”
Advanced martial arts were hard to master. At Peak Rank Two Martial Vein, being able to grasp 30% of one’s full might was already very amazing.
Therefore, even Ling Yixue was surprised before she felt somewhat annoyed.
Ling Chong’s talent and effort were inferior to hers, but he could still obtain a lot of pills and advanced martial arts. This was too unfair.
Now, Ling Yixue was on the verge of breaking through to Rank Four Martial Vein. Thus, the clan had appreciated her talent and granted her an advanced martial art after her great turmoil.
She knew clearly how difficult it was to cultivate an advanced martial art.
She also was well aware of their might.
Even at only 30% power, an advanced martial art could crush any intermediate martial arts. This was the gap between grades.
“This momentum! This power! This speed! Sure enough, it is at least twice as strong as last time! Having a good father is really good!”
Although Ling Xiao didn’t put Ling Chong in his eyes, he would never underestimate an enemy.
Landscape Martial Soul activated, and all of Ling Chong’s information was displayed.
Although he was certain that Ling Chong hadn’t made a breakthrough, his actual combat power had at least doubled!
Nevertheless, it was somewhat unstable, perhaps because he had eaten too many pills to reach this level.
“Heavenly Fire Raid!”
After the Landscape Martial Soul found Ling Chong’s flaws, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated. He circulated <Pure Yang Technique>, turning his fists bright red. Then, he displayed <Rush Steps> to sprint forward like a fierce tiger.
Today, Ling Xiao didn’t intend to dodge this Giant Spirit Divine Palm. He wanted to take it head-on and forcibly defeat Ling Chong!
Like this, the blow to the other party would be even bigger!
Otherwise, Ling Chong would no doubt come back to trouble him again later, but he didn’t have time to accompany this fellow. He had to crush all his hopes here!
Facing Ling Xiao’s counterattack, Ling Chong jolted in surprise; he hadn’t expected Ling Xiao to grasp such a fierce technique.
But upon a moment’s reflection, his Giant Spirit Divine Palm was still an advanced martial art, and the other party’s Meteorite Fist was only an intermediate martial art. He didn’t need to fear anything.
However, what happened next terrified Ling Chong.
Violent Qi Formula!
To decimate Ling Chong, Ling Xiao used his Violent Qi Formula again. This time, he didn’t reserve any strength and thoroughly erupted all his true qi.
Meteorite Fist’s Eighth Style—-Heavenly Fire Raid!
With the terrifying support of Violent Qi Formula, this move’s might had increased by several times.
At that instant, there was no Ling Xiao, only a burning meteorite!
It was like a fierce tiger flying over the horizon!
Boom!
Without any elegance, the fist and palm collided!
The advantages of the advanced martial art Giant Spirit Divine Palm were its power and momentum!
Meanwhile, the Meteorite Fist also focused on power and momentum!
A giant spirit and a meteorite collided!
With the assistance of Violent Qi Formula, the might of Ling Xiao’s Meteorite Fist’s Eighth Style, “Heavenly Fire Raid,” was comparable to even advanced martial arts.
Speaking frankly, the might of an advanced martial art was truly stronger, but if the might of an intermediate martial art were increased by several times, there would be almost no gap.
“Crunch… crunch…”
“Ah!”
Ling Chong wailed miserably. Ling Xiao’s terrifying strength had crumpled his arms. Then, he was unable to bear the impact and was directly sent flying.
“Bang!”
Ling Chong slammed into a wall. Spitting a mouthful of blood, his eyes grew unfocused.
“Did he die?”
Even Ling Xiao himself was surprised. He truly feared that he might have killed Ling Chong.
If Ling Chong truly died, Ling Jiu would definitely kill him. After all, killing and injuring others were two different concepts.
“No! Impossible! How could my advanced martial art lose to you! How can this be?”
Ling Chong was not dead.Rolling on the ground, he struggled to stand up, but without his hands, which could only loosely hang at his sides, he was unable to stand.
He only repeatedly shook his head, unable to believe this result.
One move again!
Ling Chong was defeated by Ling Xiao in one move again!
The disciples present all breathed nervously.
This result, they were truly unable to accept it.
In a battle between two same level martial artists, although the outcome was always unpredictable, defeating an opponent in one move was honestly too hard for people to accept.
What’s more was that the losing side had also cultivated a much stronger advanced martial art.
“It’s good that he didn’t die. Then, I will not accompany you!”
Once he had confirmed that Ling Chong was alive, Ling Xiao hastily left with the doctor.
Now, his true qi was truly exhausted. If someone provoked him, he would be helpless.
Upon seeing Ling Xiao leaving, Ling Yixue’s mouth twitched.
Shehad not expected this result.
“<Violent Qi Formula> together with <Meteorite Fist> can unexpectedly exert a more terrifying power than the advanced martial art <Giant Spirit Divine Palm>! Perhaps, Ling Xiao will amaze the world in this annual competition…”
“Senior Apprentice Sister, that Ling Xiao must have used some kind of demonic technique! Otherwise, how could he have defeated Ling Chong in one move?”
Looking at Ling Chong being dragged away to receive medical treatment, Ling Fei was envious in his heart.
Because Ling Xiao had defeated Ling Chong in one move in front of her, he had managed to leave a deep impression on Ling Yixue.
“Demonic technique? Humph, I advise you to concentrate on martial arts. Don’t think about useless things all day. Your talent is not bad. If you were a bit more attentive, you might not have lost in the race so badly today!”
Ling Yixue coldly added, “Although they were similarly Rank Two Martial Veins, Ling Xiao’s true qi was much thicker than Ling Chong’s. Moreover, he is good at coordinating martial arts. In just that one fist, he used four martial arts: <Meteorite Fist>, <Rush Steps>, <Violent Qi Formula>, and <Pure Yang Technique>. I ask you, other than him, who could accomplish that?”
“This…! Why is Ling Xiao so powerful? Was he always pretending to be a pig to swallow a tiger?” Someone asked.
“That’s very unlikely. Perhaps, he suddenly received enlightenment!” Ling Yixue only shook her head.
“But where did he obtain so many intermediate martial arts?”
Someone else asked.
“I am not sure, but intermediate martial arts can be purchased in the auction house. Those martial arts he cultivated were not unique, only ordinary things.”
In fact, Ling Yixue was also confused, but she didn’t doubt Ling Xiao’s strength.
