Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025 Secret Training

Feng Yingshan and Ling Xiao continued their conversation until they reached Qingxu College, then Feng Yingshan left in a sedan chair.

He could feel that Ling Xiao might become his most formidable competitor in the future.

But right now, it was necessary for him to cooperate with Ling Xiao!

...

Outside the Imperial City, there was a very ordinary-looking residence.

Few people outside knew that beneath this residence lay a hidden, enormous prison cage.

It held captive powerful warriors and beasts.

At this moment, inside one of the prison cages, stood a man.

He was dressed in black armor, with neatly trimmed short hair, and his face exuded an air of absolute dominance and authority.

He was almost two meters tall, with muscles that were distinctly defined.

In front of him was a giant tiger that measured four meters in height and seven to eight meters in length.

Roar—!

The giant tiger roared as it pounced towards the robust man, its massive body stirring up a foul wind that shook the sturdy iron cage with a clattering noise.

When faced with the attack, the man slowly raised his hand, and a Halberd appeared in his grasp. He then whipped up a ferocious fire whirlwind, thrusting the spear towards the giant tiger.

Unparalleled Flame Lance!

The spear’s shadow flickered, and the giant tiger’s huge body could not advance an inch; instead, it was sent flying by the terrifying force and slammed viciously against the cage.

"Roar—!"

The giant tiger was enraged.

A mere human had hurt it; it could not tolerate such humiliation.

"Change!"

The man in black armor put away the Halberd and stood aside.

Another person then entered from outside the cage.

This person was clad in black, completely shrouded in darkness, emanating a chilling aura of death, like a ghost.

The roaring giant tiger didn’t care who it was; it only knew it wanted to destroy everything in sight.

Although the man in black was not as domineering as the previous one, he was more agile.

Moving like a ghost, he darted to the side of the giant tiger ahead of anyone’s notice, and with no mercy, his dagger plunged towards the body of the tiger.

The giant tiger was quick to react, its tail whipping toward the man in black.

But all the tail hit was an afterimage.

The man in black had, at some point, already appeared atop the giant tiger, his dagger thrusting down fiercely.

The giant tiger was stabbed to the ground.

"You two really, picking on a tiger is no skill at all, come on, have a match with me!"

Just then, a cheerful and hearty voice rang out.

Both the people inside and outside the cage turned their heads to look.

The newcomer wore a black form-fitting outfit that made him look efficient and cool, with his long hair flowing, very dashing.

"Salutations to the young master!"

These people all knelt down, bowing to the newcomer.

"Rise, all of you," the man said. I’ve said it many times before, there’s no need to fuss over these formalities right now, what matters is your strength."

The newcomer was none other than Ling Xiao, and the ones who had fought with the giant tiger were Meng Tong and Xin.

Meng Tong seemed to particularly admire his General, Qin Huo, so much so that he even chose the same weapon as Qin Huo and imitated his moves. Due to their different characteristics, the same techniques would yield entirely distinct results when executed by each of them.

Meng Tong revered strength, and thus his moves were overwhelmingly powerful.

Qin Huo, on the other hand, was more balanced and wielded his skills effortlessly.

"Everyone else, continue your training. Remember, as long as you’re not dead, train like mad. Once you’re on the battlefield, it’ll be even more brutal! Meng Tong, Xin, you two are in charge of supervising them."

Qin Huo gave the command, then walked toward Ling Xiao and said, "It’s been a few days since we’ve seen each other, young master. Your strength has improved quite a bit, hasn’t it? Have you already advanced to the late stages of the Six Arts Realm?"

"Heh, I can’t hide anything from General Qin, it seems. I notice Meng Tong and Xin seem to have made breakthroughs as well. Your training is quite effective."

Ling Xiao came here without disguising his power, so naturally, Qin Huo could discern his cultivation level.

"Meng Tong is now at the pinnacle of the Seven Star Sky Realm, and Xin is at the peak of the Six Arts Realm. Indeed, they’ve both made breakthroughs, thanks largely to those Heavenly Elemental Crystals you provided," Qin Huo said with a smile.

"Young master, it’s too boring to fight these beasts. How about we have a go?"

Meng Tong was a simple man, a true martial fanatic, but he held a very high status in the eyes of these soldiers, for in battle, Meng Tong was always the one charging at the forefront.

Tough and strong, with no lack of skill, he truly was the idol of the soldiers.

In the entire army, aside from the Great General Qin Huo, they admired Meng Tong the most.

By comparison, although they were grateful to Ling Xiao and held him in awe, they didn’t necessarily want to follow Ling Xiao’s orders.

They might even consider Meng Tong’s orders more important than Ling Xiao’s.

Ling Xiao noticed this too. He was well aware that unless he defeated Meng Tong, it was impossible to gain the trust of these men.

They wouldn’t see him as a brother, but merely as a benefactor.

But Ling Xiao didn’t want just to be their benefactor. He wanted to become their brother, their leader, and so this battle was inevitable.

Qin Huo was not his opponent.

After all, Qin Huo was already a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist.

But facing Meng Tong, he was confident.

Of course, he knew this himself, but the soldiers didn’t know and might not even agree.

In their view, even if Ling Xiao had reached the late stage of the Six Arts Realm, he would at most be at the same level as Xin, definitely not equal to Meng Tong.

Keep in mind that Meng Tong even had the ability to beat to death beasts stronger than himself, let alone a martial artist.

As far as they were concerned, even if Ling Xiao’s cultivation level caught up to Meng Tong, he might still not be a match, much less now when Ling Xiao’s cultivation level was far from Meng Tong’s.

Even Qin Huo thought so, which is why when he heard Meng Tong’s words, he was the first to scold him, "Meng Tong, what are you doing? Show some respect. The young master is our benefactor; does his strength really matter?"

"General Qin, no need to be hard on Meng Tong. Today, I have returned from Ling Yue Bieyuan after a fight with someone, and I’m still quite excited. Since Meng Tong is interested, let’s have a little competition."

Ling Xiao stopped Qin Huo and stood up with a smile.

To truly make these men his own, to share in both their joys and their sorrows, life and death, this battle was unavoidable.

"Young master, you’re really willing?"

Meng Tong asked excitedly.

"Of course, I am willing,"

Ling Xiao replied with a smile.

"Heh, young master, don’t worry. I won’t hurt you. You are our benefactor, so I’ll hold back,"

If someone else had said this, Ling Xiao might have frowned, as it would certainly be seen as sarcasm.

But coming from Meng Tong, there was no such implication; the man genuinely feared that he might harm Ling Xiao, which is why he had said it.

Ling Xiao didn’t argue back.

In the upcoming combat, everything would naturally become clear, Meng Tong was a soldier who might perceive danger more sharply than many others.

If he sensed danger, he would undoubtedly give it his all.
