Chapter 777: Chapter 777: Combat Strength Test_1

"No way, my attack strength only lit up seventy lamps, is this a joke?"

"Be content, I only got sixty-nine, even less than you."

"You really shouldn’t doubt it, though this isn’t the official mandatory test pillar, it is said that it was here even before the Sacred Dynasty was established, belonging to a Demon King from the ancient era."

Hearing these discussions, Ling Xiao looked up.

This was a pillar a hundred meters tall, where every meter would sense the strength of an attack and then light up correspondingly.

The golden luminescence was very eye-catching.

Which meant that if all lit up, there would be a hundred lamps in total; from this perspective, the two people who just spoke actually didn’t have a bad attack strength at all.

"Watch this! Ha!"

Just as Ling Xiao and Leng Hao were walking inside, another young expert stood before the massive pillar.

Bang!

With his punch hitting the pillar, it immediately burst into dazzling light.

"Seventy-nine lamps!"

"Such formidable combat strength, being able to light up seventy lamps means he’s a Heavenly Pulse Warrior!"

"That’s right, many think this pillar only tests pure attack strength, but they misunderstand; who knows what kind of magic array this Divine Weapon contains, after an attack, what’s tested is the overall combat power, including defense, True Essence, and attack power all at once."

"What if someone is hiding their strength?"

"If they’re hiding, of course, the test won’t be accurate, but is there a need to do that?"

"Senior Brother Ling, let me give it a try!"

Leng Hao, thinking it seemed fun, kicked the pillar.

"Sixty-five lamps, not bad!"

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

Leng Hao’s cultivation level wasn’t yet at the Heavenly Vein Warrior Realm, so being able to light up sixty-five lamps was quite impressive.

Moreover, Ling Xiao could feel that this guy had not exerted his full strength.

Well, it was just for fun, no need to reveal all one’s strength.

"I didn’t expect the Holy City to have such interesting things, let me give it a try!"

Hearing the voice, Ling Xiao turned back to see a disciple from the Snow Mountain Sect, Li Xuefeng, clad in white, striding over.

This person was one of the hottest contestants in this Martial Arts Festival final, with the potential to compete with the Sixth Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty.

Bang!

Golden light erupted.

"My goodness, a record-breaker, ninety lamps!"

The pillar, which was only a hundred meters tall, was now fully lit with golden light for ninety meters, looking very beautiful.

"Indeed worthy of being one of the hot young talents, this guy’s cultivation level must have reached the full-stage Heavenly Vein Warrior level, with about ninety percent of his Heavenly Origin Power condensed."

Now that Ling Xiao’s cultivation had broken through, his eyesight had grown even stronger, and combined with the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s analytical ability, he could easily gauge Li Xuefeng’s strength.

"The Snow Mountain Sect should aim for a good outcome in the Martial Arts Festival finals this time."

"Indeed, this Divine Weapon is quite curious; it can test warriors of every realm, but the color of the light it emits differs, Martial Vein Realm is white light, Transcendent Realm is golden light, Heavenly Man Realm turns to red light, and Cave Heaven Realm is purple light. It seems that for the Martial Arts Festival’s young talents, lighting up a hundred golden lamps is probably the limit."

"I wonder if there’s anyone who can surpass this Li Xuefeng."

The crowd of onlookers was large, the commentators were even more so.

Most people looking at Li Xuefeng did so with envy and admiration.

Li Xuefeng himself maintained an indifferent expression; however, his eyes did carry a hint of pride, which was only natural.

"What’s so great about that, watch me!"

There were those who conceded and admired, but naturally, there were those who did not accept it.

After all, with more than two hundred participants in the Martial Arts Festival finals, and being under the age of twenty, swift breakthroughs are common; so it’s quite normal that you are stronger than me today, and I can be stronger than you tomorrow.

A young warrior who hadn’t ranked in the top ten in last year’s Martial Arts Festival slammed his palm against the pillar.

The copper pillar flickered with golden light, and in an instant, it reached the position of eighty-nine meters.

Unfortunately, it was just short of that one meter, and couldn’t go any higher.

"How is that possible?"

This young man seemed to disbelieve, and when he attempted again, he directly drew his weapon, yet the result of the test was still eighty-nine lamps.

Although the young man felt quite upset, there were no sounds of ridicule from the surrounding crowd.

Even Li Xuefeng’s expression had become serious.

Eighty-nine lamps, didn’t that mean that his strength was very close to that of Li Xuefeng himself? In the finals, he would become a major adversary.

"Who’s that? You’re called Ling Xiao, right? You were quite sharp with your words in the auction house, but I wonder how strong you actually are. Why don’t you give it a try?"

The speaker was a core disciple from the Heavenly King Sect.

Ling Xiao originally wasn’t interested in trying, as he possessed the Mountain and River Martial Soul, and was very clear about his own level of strength.

However, since a disciple of the Heavenly King Sect had provoked him, it wouldn’t be good not to show off some skills.

"Whether you have to see my strength or not, why not have a little competition?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"What kind of competition?"

The man asked cautiously.

"Quite simple, if the number of lamps I light up today is more than yours, you kneel down and shout ’Heavenly King Sect is inferior to Moon Hua Sect’ three times. How about that?"

Ling Xiao replied.

"And what if you lose?"

The man asked.

"You say what should be done, and it will be done."

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

"Alright, if you lose, you strip naked and run a lap around the big street of Holy City while shouting ’Ling Xiao should die, Moon Hua Sect is shameless’!"

That disciple from the Heavenly King Sect said after thinking for a moment.

"Quite ruthless, eh? But it doesn’t matter. Can we start now, you go first."

Ling Xiao made a gesturing motion and spoke.

"Did I say I was the one to compete with you?"

The man revealed a cunning smile, then whistled, and Dao Wuming emerged from nowhere.

"I’ll compete with you!"

Dao Wuming had always wanted to deal with Ling Xiao, but unfortunately, he never found the opportunity. Today was perhaps a spur of the moment, although he couldn’t kill Ling Xiao, being able to humiliate Ling Xiao and the Moon Hua Sect would allow him to vent, so he wouldn’t feel too stifled.

"Shameless, it was agreed that person would compete with my senior brother."

Leng Hao couldn’t help cursing out loud.

"Junior Brother Leng, their shamelessness is not a first, why bother with it?" Ling Xiao stopped Leng Hao, then turned to Dao Wuming and asked, "Dao Wuming, you’re competing with me, so you’re the one who will kneel later, right?"

"Correct, it will be me!"

Dao Wuming nodded: "But you shouldn’t get your hopes up, because you can’t possibly win against me."

"Heh, is that so? You may begin."

Ling Xiao thought to himself, I didn’t come looking for trouble with you, but you insisted on making a nuisance of yourself, so since that’s the case, I will not hold back.

Dao Wuming sneered, mustered his energy for a moment, then both fists thundered against the copper pillar.

Hum!

The golden light was radiant, instantly spreading across the entire plaza.

"Ninety-two lamps! A new record, another record broken, even more formidable than Li Xuefeng!"

"Who would’ve thought that the third-ranked core disciple of the Heavenly King Sect would be so terrifying, does this mean that one more disciple from the Heavenly King Sect will join the Six Young Masters of Holy Dynasty this time?"
