Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038 Awakening with a Start

Feng Qingyan had thought that Ling Xiao would surely fail in this endeavor, yet Ling Xiao displayed the most perfect aspect of himself.

Even Si Kong Zun, let alone others, felt shocked.

He sighed helplessly in his heart, "Why isn’t Ling Xiao a member of the Sea Race? Why isn’t he a prodigy from the True Demon Empire?"

Below, Leng Mei, Ji Mingkong, and the other girls were mesmerized as they watched Ling Xiao. They had been with Ling Xiao for quite a while now and were well aware of his immense strength.

However, none of them knew that Ling Xiao had this trick up his sleeve.

Today, they were not only shocked but had completely become fangirls.

The loud and powerful chorus was filled with the heroism of martial artists and the vigorous vitality of the youth.

As a battle song, it was extremely fitting.

Jia Yun’s face, however, looked rather unpleasant. After being warned by those tens of thousands of soldiers, he didn’t dare to speak further.

But he understood in his heart.

Today, in front of Ling Xiao, he had truly been utterly defeated.

In terms of strength, Ling Xiao ultimately seized the Battle Flag, undoubtedly proving he was stronger.

In terms of literary grace, he admitted that he could never produce such a miraculous battle song.

Because he had never heard of any battle song that could directly produce such an effect.

Generally speaking, a battle song affects the spirit and then influences the soul, allowing martial artists to forget fear or become more courageous.

But Ling Xiao’s battle song could directly enhance combat power, which was utterly unheard of and astonishing.

He, the young Alliance Leader of the Righteous Qi Alliance, had been completely defeated by a seemingly insignificant and lowly human.

Thinking back to his previous contemptuous and mocking remarks about Ling Xiao, his face felt burning hot, as if someone had slapped him.

The politest part was that those Imperial City Camp soldiers who previously respected him, were now casting admiring gazes towards Ling Xiao.

Even the female martial artists from the Phoenix God College, who had been throwing coquettish glances at him, were now looking at Ling Xiao with glowing eyes.

How infuriating!

Ling Xiao had stolen all the glory that should have been his!

"I won’t let you go. Even if you are proud and content now, when I break through to the Nine Heavy Heaven Cultivation Level, I will kill you first and see how long you can remain proud!"

Jia Yun took a deep breath; he still had an ace up his sleeve.

That ace was his cultivation level.

He was about to break through to the Nine Heavy Heaven Cultivation Level, a feeling that was growing stronger.

And Ling Xiao, being merely at the pinnacle of the Six Arts Realm, stood no chance against him.

For now, he would suppress this rage, and when on the battlefield later, he would erase Ling Xiao completely from this world!

Just at that moment, Ling Xiao put down the Battle Flag and walked toward Jia Yun.

"What do you want to do?"

Jia Yun took a step back, asking with some panic.

At this moment, he didn’t want to be enemies with Ling Xiao, otherwise those soldiers would definitely support Ling Xiao, and by then, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

The look in Ling Xiao’s eyes was filled with intense irony and disdain.

He calmly said, "What did you just say? You called me a lowly human? Said that I should just obediently be your slave?

Said that I can’t change my fate through enslavement?

Don’t you find all of this laughable?

You are the young Alliance Leader of the Righteous Qi Alliance, from the moment you were born, you were surrounded by a halo, cared for and noticed by countless people.

You received the best martial arts training and resources in the Divine Phoenix Continent.

But what have you done?

You’re just a parasite clinging onto this massive force, squandering the finest martial arts and resources; if I were you, at this age being only at the pinnacle of the Eight Desolations Heaven, I would have already slammed my head against the city wall in shame.

Do you not feel disgraced?

Do you not feel ashamed?"

"I am very humble, even despicable!"

"Because two years ago, I was just a mere beggar, and I had to beg to survive."

"No one paid attention to me, let alone provided me with martial arts or resources."

"I had to rely on myself to strive for betterment."

"However, I always believed that one’s fate is not immutable."

"If I cannot determine my birth, then I will change my future through hard work!"

"While you indulge in wine, women, and revelry, I was cultivating."

"While you were boasting in conversations, I was cultivating."

"While you were comfortably enjoying yourself, I too was cultivating."

"Your starting point was high, but you never cherished it, relying only on your family and power, idly living off their achievements."

"You thought you could forever look down on others."

"But you were wrong, I have caught up to you."

"While you slept soundly, I had already surpassed you!"

"Now, in my eyes, you are nothing but a waste, a parasite, a useless scion!"

"If the Righteous Qi Alliance lets someone like you take over, it is bound to decay, or even perish!"

Ling Xiao spoke these words fervently, from the bottom of his heart.

At the scene, whether from Qingxu College or Phoenix God College, all those with humble origins felt deeply moved.

Indeed, one cannot choose where they’re born, but if one resigns to degradation and lowliness, they would forever be beneath others, mere slaves!

There is redemption in striving, for though success is not guaranteed, one could live without regrets!

However, these words sounded uncomfortable to the ears of the nobles.

They disdained Ling Xiao’s speech, thinking him naive.

Yet, they had to admit, Ling Xiao had broken through their entrenched perceptions by rising from a beggar.

Even Holy Son Victoria Mingkong from the Sacred Dynasty was captivated by Ling Xiao’s charisma.

Such a person is indeed formidable.

Those who thought like Jia Yun, who disdain everything yet remain foolishly ignorant, are truly useless.

Among the nobles, there are still clever ones.

To them, Ling Xiao’s words were harsh, yet they had to admit, he had hit the nail on the head.

The Sacred Dynasty itself was the best example, once immensely powerful, ruling over the Mysterious World, but now merely struggling to survive.

Similarly, other noble families inferior to the Sacred Dynasty would also decline if things continued this way.

"Is this young man’s vision too far-reaching? Is he really just a child?"

Si Kong Zun listened with a mix of awe and fear.

He was not afraid of Ling Xiao’s strength, but what he truly feared was Ling Xiao having a clear mind and far-sighted vision.

Such a Ling Xiao was the most difficult to deal with.

"Alright, today’s battle flag has already been seized, and the battle song is also completed, let’s leave it at that."

Seeing Jia Yun’s face growing uglier, and knowing that continuing this way might cause him to collapse,

Si Kong Zun decided to interrupt the confrontation between Ling Xiao and Jia Yun and announced, "Effective immediately, Ling Xiao is promoted to Centurion, commanding a guard of up to one thousand men and can act with discretionary authority!"

"Ling Xiao will comply!"

Casting a brief glance at Jia Yun, Ling Xiao then turned to Si Kong Zun and thanked him with a bow.

"Good, since that’s settled, you can choose any guard of up to one thousand men outside the regular army."

Si Kong Zun said.

"Not allowing selection from the regular army?"

Ling Xiao paused for a moment and sneered inwardly: This Si Kong Zun really knows how to scheme against him.
