Chapter 202: Chapter 202 Inheritance Hall_1

After secluding himself for a month, Ling Xiao was as if reborn, shedding his old self.

His cultivation level in the Seventh Layer of Martial Veins was completely consolidated, and the "Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique" had also solidified at the Great Perfection realm. He’d truly mastered it thoroughly.

Next, he should devote all his energy to the "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body."

As for cultivating the Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique to the Transcendental Realm, actually, it didn’t hold much significance. It would merely strengthen his defense, which didn’t differ much from cultivating the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body.

The "Snow Lotus True Scripture" was likewise consolidated at the sixth layer realm.

He had fully mastered the first move of the "Divine Prison King Fist," and under the enhancement of the ninth rotation of the "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique," he could unleash unimaginably miraculous effects.

At the same time, his Ghost Ship Broken Soul, Giant Sword Broken Soul, Blood Blade Broken Soul, and Black Bear Broken Soul had all been perfected to eighty percent.

He was getting closer and closer to a Complete Soul.

The day he killed Li Xinghui, due to the sudden interference of Li Yunsheng, he hadn’t been able to devour Li Xinghui’s White Tiger Broken Soul.

But that didn’t matter.

When it came to Martial Souls, quality was more valued than quantity—his four kinds of Broken Souls, with three being Complete Souls, were already more than enough.

Upon leaving his seclusion, Ling Xiao found that both Leng Mei and Ling Yixue had experienced changes in their cultivation levels.

Leng Mei had broken through the Seventh Level, becoming a Martial Master.

Before his seclusion, Ling Xiao had secretly tested Leng Mei’s potential and discovered her physical potential had reached seven stars.

Although it fell short of his and Ling Yixue’s, this potential was already on par with Zuo Leng and Ming Tian. Breaking through to the Transcendent Realm would definitely not be a problem.

Breaking through to become a Martial Master was even simpler. Leng Mei’s previous stagnation in cultivation was purely due to a lack of proper martial arts and resources. Otherwise, her cultivation level today might well be stronger than Ling Xiao’s.

As for Ling Yixue, with the personal guidance of Master Baiyun, her cultivation level had progressed by leaps and bounds. She was now at the peak of the Martial Vein Seventh Layer, a notch above Ling Xiao.

Moreover, Ling Xiao could sense that Ling Yixue had learned a soul refining martial art even more formidable than the "Soul Burning Secret," but it was likely just a quasi-Transcendent Martial Art.

This puzzled Ling Xiao. Logically, with Ling Yixue’s potential, it would make sense for Master Baiyun to teach her Transcendent Martial Arts.

He couldn’t figure out the old man’s reasoning.

Shi Lei’s cultivation level had also broken through, also reaching the peak of the Martial Vein Seventh Layer. That was the benefit of becoming Master Baiyun’s disciple.

Ling Xiao, Ling Yixue, Leng Mei, and Shi Lei, plus Dai Yuling.

The five of them came from the Hidden Dragon Camp and got along fairly well.

It’s just that today Ling Xiao emerged from seclusion and Dai Yuling was still secluded, so only the other three came to congratulate him.

"Ling junior brother, after a month of seclusion, you must have gained a lot, right?"

Shi Lei asked with a smile while eating fruit.

Now that they all were beginners under Master Baiyun, even though they started at the same time, it was correct for Shi Lei to call Ling Xiao a junior brother based on their ages.

Among all Master Baiyun’s disciples, Ling Xiao was the youngest, thus he was also the junior brother.

"My cultivation breakthrough has been rather slow. Currently, I’m only in the late stage of the Martial Vein Seventh Layer and still fall short compared to Shi senior brother,"

Ling Xiao replied with a smile.

"Don’t be so modest. You’re only slightly behind, but that’s because you started later. I reckon it won’t be long before you leave me behind. How about this? While my cultivation is still a bit higher than yours, why don’t we have a friendly sparring?"

Swallowing the fruit core, Shi Lei said excitedly.

"Sure, we four should spar with each other and identify any flaws in our cultivation,"

Now that the four of them were friends, such sparring was natural for identifying and remedying shortcomings. There was no need for life-and-death combat or to take it too seriously.

After their sparring session,

the ranking of their strength became quite clear.

Ling Xiao was the strongest, followed by Ling Yixue, with Shi Lei and Leng Mei surprisingly being evenly matched.

From this, one could see just how fearsome Leng Mei’s latent bodily potential really was.

Had the Seven-Star Flower not been broken, Master Baiyun would have had two more true disciples.

Ling Xiao had originally planned on telling Master Baiyun, but later thought better of it.

Master Baiyun wasn’t as miraculous as imagined, his skill in assessing people wasn’t that great after all; becoming his true disciple might not actually be such a good thing.

Of course, more importantly, he couldn’t reveal to anyone about the repair of the Seven-Star Flower—otherwise, he feared he might invite lethal trouble.

"Hahaha, I give up, I thought that after practicing the nearly Transcendent Martial Arts taught by Master Baiyun, I could at least tie with you. I didn’t expect there to be such a huge gap."

Shi Lei said with a bitter smile, "Ling junior brother, tell me the truth, how much of your real strength did you use when you were fighting me just now?"

"Want to hear the truth?" Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"Of course the truth, otherwise why the hell would I ask?"

"Probably about fifty percent or so," Ling Xiao said indifferently.

"That’s too demoralizing, man. I used all my strength, and you only used half, yet you still won so easily. If you went to the Skill Transfer Hall again, wouldn’t I be even less than ten percent as good as you?"

Shi Lei continued to smile bitterly.

"It wouldn’t come to that, but what is the Skill Transfer Hall?"

Ling Xiao asked, puzzled.

"The Skill Transfer Hall is a place exclusive to our master at the White Cloud Temple, it’s actually for storing Martial Arts scriptures. However, the scriptures there are only nearly Transcendent and Transcendent, without even top-level Martial Arts, and some of them are notes of experiences the master gathered over the years."

Shi Lei replied, "The master said that true disciples are free to delve into Transcendent Martial Arts, but only once a day for at most one shichen, while we beginner disciples can freely view nearly Transcendent Martial Arts, though we’re not allowed to take them out, with a study time of three shichen per day."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

As of now, nearly Transcendent Martial Arts were still very useful for him.

The copy function of his Mountain and River Martial Soul was about to come in handy again. While others only had three shichen to study each day, he didn’t need any of that time; he could simply copy them and study at leisure.

Soaring Cloud Step and Bull Demon Technique still needed further evolution; relying on top-level Martial Arts wasn’t enough to improve them anymore.

Only nearly Transcendent Martial Arts could once again evolve them, causing a qualitative change.

These two extraordinary abilities might be even more miraculous than the old ancestors of the Ling Family had described; the more Ling Xiao practiced them, the more he felt this way.

"There’s one more thing. Master said that after Dai Yuling, Butterfly Dance, Zhu Hua, Lu Xing, Fei Yu, and Fei Liu come out of seclusion, he wants to personally inspect everyone’s cultivation progress."

"Doesn’t that include Zuo Leng and Ming Tian?"

Ling Xiao inquired?

"It includes them!" replied Shi Lei with a nod. "Don’t underestimate this exchange. Based on the results, the master will give out special rewards."

"Whether there are rewards or not doesn’t matter to me; I am actually quite eager to have a bout with Dai Yuling."

In Ling Xiao’s eyes, Dai Yuling was mysterious and very powerful, far stronger than any of the talents from the Heavenly Ninja Academy.

Besides Zuo Leng and Ming Tian, this girl was probably the third strongest.

Ling Xiao had no desire to waste time wondering when those people would come out of seclusion. Now that he knew about the Skill Transfer Hall, he was certainly going to check it out.

The Martial Arts scriptures in the Skill Transfer Hall were collected by Master Baiyun during his travels around the world—many of them were simply not available outside.

Only by becoming a disciple of Master Baiyun could one have the privilege to view them.

Of course, there was a distinction between true disciples and beginner disciples; he was not yet qualified to freely view the Transcendent Martial Arts.
