Chapter 1358: Chapter 1361: Frog at the Bottom of the Well

However, after the surprise, Ling Xiao felt joy and excitement.

The stronger the enemy, the greater his motivation. Otherwise, without opponents, there’s no drive for cultivation.

"You’re quite good!"

Phoenix Wushan smiled and said.

"You’re quite good too."

Ling Xiao also smiled and said.

"Although you’re quite good, at most you can only handle one of my strikes. You can’t even defeat me; how can you challenge the other six Phoenix Sons, just relying on that mouth?"

Phoenix Wushan changed his tone.

"Though you’re quite good too, you’re only just acceptable. With your strength, you’re still not my match. If you doubt it, we can try."

Ling Xiao stood there, and his fighting spirit burst forth suddenly.

The battle with Shangguan Hong was really not thrilling enough.

He believed that in a fight with Phoenix Wushan, his potential could truly explode.

Maybe, he could break through because of it.

After all, he hadn’t used his strongest move yet.

"Could it be we’ve been out of touch with the era for too long? Shangguan Hong being able to defeat Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists is already outrageous, and Ling Xiao being able to withstand a strike from the Golden Phoenix Child, just how strong is he?"

The people watching this scene were deeply moved.

"Qingxu College might really be on the rise. At least this time Ling Xiao, Shangguan Hong, and that Joshua Long may stand out in the Dragon Tiger selection. If Ji Mingkong can recover, perhaps he could earn a place too."

"Yeah, with Ling Xiao’s return, the entire Qingxu College seems to have come alive suddenly."

"Indeed, Ling Xiao had barely returned when he killed Mingxing Crown Prince and Sky Roc Prince. Now he’s taken a strike from the seventh-ranked Golden Phoenix. His strength is truly awe-inspiring.

Even though he said he’d challenge all Ten Great Phoenix Children, his words might have been a bit grand, but I think those ranked lower should be worried."

Even though Ling Xiao caused a large shock to the crowd, most people still favored the top-ranked monsters among the Ten Phoenix Sons.

After all, those individuals broke through the Cave Heaven Realm long ago, while Ling Xiao had just broken through.

Moreover, including Golden Phoenix Feng Ming Wushan, the front seven all had their unique Martial Soul and Bloodline Power, belonging to dual-talented martial artists.

Compared to them, Ling Xiao was still lacking.

Today Ling Xiao faced Phoenix Wushan’s strike and was pushed back five or six steps, which was clearly visible.

They directly ignored that Phoenix Wushan also retreated five or six steps; presumably, they thought Phoenix Wushan did so intentionally, fearing an ambush by Shangguan Hong.

Of course, one viewpoint was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

Ling Xiao is definitely the most talented, the most potential-filled young man of this era.

He’s only seventeen!

Among those ranked ahead in the Ten Phoenix Sons, the youngest is Fengming Piaoxue, who is already eighteen, while others are over twenty.

If Ling Xiao is given enough time, he could really challenge the Ten Great Phoenix Children.

But will Ling Xiao have that time?

Many people had this question.

Today Ling Xiao provoked the Ten Phoenix Sons, and openly humiliated Emperor Phoenix Immeasurable. Can he still live that long?

Of course, if anyone knew what happened last night outside the desolate outskirts leading to Qingxu College, they probably wouldn’t think this way.

The conflict between Ling Xiao and Phoenix Immeasurable is already public knowledge.

Ling Xiao showed no respect for Phoenix Immeasurable.

And Phoenix Immeasurable permitted his son to ambush and assassinate Ling Xiao.

This hatred can no longer be resolved.

"Today, if we can see a battle between the Golden Phoenix Child and Ling Xiao, it would be wonderful."

The crowd looked up at the sky.

In the void, Phoenix Wushan and Ling Xiao confronted each other from afar.

Ling Xiao’s fighting spirit was very overwhelming.

However, Phoenix Wushan seemed to have no intention of battling Ling Xiao.

"You know, I’m not a belligerent person."

Phoenix Wushan smiled and said.

"You’re afraid; you’re afraid you’ll lose!"

Ling Xiao gave Phoenix Wushan no chance to back down: "Also, when you ambushed Shangguan Hong just now, you didn’t look like someone who’s not belligerent at all."

"Afraid? Haha, I’m merely disdaining it. My cultivation level is far superior to yours. Even if I win, it’s as expected and brings me no benefit."

Phoenix Wushan remained quite calm.

This guy truly deserved to be the strategist beside Fengming Qishan, eloquent and very capable of restraint.

Of course, he’s not afraid of Ling Xiao. As he said, his cultivation level is much higher than Ling Xiao’s, and winning would be expected. But if he unexpectedly loses, it would be a laughing stock.

"In essence, still not daring to fight."

Ling Xiao sneered, then withdrew his fighting spirit and said: "There’s no need to fight today. Let me see what excuse you can find during the Dragon Tiger selection! Let’s go!"

Although he truly wanted to have a good fight with Phoenix Wushan, since Phoenix Wushan was unwilling, he couldn’t launch an attack.

Dealing with someone without battle intent, there’s no satisfaction even in winning.

So he leaped away.

Shangguan Hong, Leng Mei, Moon Lady, and the other disciples of Qingxu College followed closely behind.

This battle made Ling Xiao’s reputation soar.

Even more exciting than killing Mingxing Crown Prince and Sky Roc Prince.

The disciples of Qingxu College were particularly delighted, and in their eyes, Ling Xiao had become the key to the college’s revival.

Phoenix Wushan landed on the high platform, and as he watched Ling Xiao’s departing figure, he suddenly coldly laughed and said: "Ling Xiao, oh Ling Xiao, in my eyes, you’re at best just a toad slightly stronger than an ant. If you don’t die before the Dragon Phoenix selection, I’ll let you know what fear truly is!"

He spoke these words not in a murmur but boldly in front of everyone present.

The implications were clear to all.

There were clearly two meanings.

Firstly, he scorns Ling Xiao, viewing him as only slightly stronger than an ant.

Secondly, it suggests someone has already set their sights on Ling Xiao, who likely won’t survive until the Dragon Tiger selection day.

"Wushan, fortunately, you came today. Otherwise, no one might be able to suppress that boy Ling Xiao. Though he provokes in front of you, it’s mere bluster; he wouldn’t dare to truly contend with you."

Emperor Phoenix Immeasurable said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. People say he took one of my strikes, but they don’t actually know that I only used sixty percent strength. It was just intended as a lesson for Shangguan Hong, and being blocked by Ling Xiao is nothing surprising."

Phoenix Wushan bowed slightly and said, "Ling Xiao is merely an ignorant frog in a well, laughable indeed. Against the eighth-ranked Thunderhawk Princess Ying Tian Xia, he’ll likely lose, and if the two Crown Princes make a move, he’s even more insignificant."

"Indeed, he’s merely a human from the Heavenly Dragon Continent, only seeing a Jianghu as big as the palm of his hand, naturally oblivious to the vastness of the world. But do you really intend to fight him?"

Emperor Phoenix Immeasurable asked.
