Chapter 791: 791

Feng Renjie and Liang Xiao’s situation couldn’t escape Ling Xiao’s eyes, as Feng Renjie’s Martial Soul and Liang Xiao’s Martial Soul had actually fused together.

At this moment, Liang Xiao’s aura was several times stronger than Po Qian Jun’s, unquestionably, he now had the right to challenge the top ten.

This was not against the rules, because the rules did not prohibit the use of such secret techniques.

Liang Xiao took the stage, facing Zhai Juan.

Theoretically, their fight should be evenly matched, quite a spectacle.

But in reality, Liang Xiao defeated Zhai Juan with just one palm strike.

"Sigh, it’s become an internal battle for the Heavenly King Sect. The Heavenly King Sect really has a frightening number of talented disciples. Aside from the Jade Water Divine Palace and the Mysterious Fire Sect, which each have seventeen or eighteen people advancing to the second round of the competition, the rest only have one or two, or even three or four. But the Heavenly King Sect almost monopolizes half the numbers."

"Having more disciples is not what’s frightening. What’s scary is having many disciples, and many strong ones at that. So far, the performances of Holy Son, Mo Wu Shang, and Dao Wuming are all undefeated."

"Yeah, I’m afraid no one can resist the Holy Son and Mo Wu Shang."

"Maybe Qin Bi Xue from Blood Saber Sect can put up a fight!"

"Jade Water Divine Palace’s Hong Li isn’t weak either."

"Hmm, it seems the battle for first place this time should be unfolding among these four."

"What a joke, have you forgotten about Joshua Long? Even Dai Yaoling from Spiritual Medicine Manor lost to him, dare you underestimate him?"

Although people felt that Liang Xiao’s performance was astonishing, they ended up discussing not Liang Xiao himself but the overall strength of the Heavenly King Sect due to Ling Xiao’s even more stunning showcase earlier.

As for the battle for the top rank, everyone had their own opinion.

However, up until now, no one regarded Ling Xiao as a strong contender for the top ten, some even believed he was not as good as Joshua Long.

"Brother Ling, don’t mind them. They’re blind."

Joshua Long stood next to Ling Xiao, having just defeated Dai Yaoling from Spiritual Medicine Manor, taking the opportunity to come over.

"Heh, why would I."

From the very beginning, Ling Xiao never took the discussions of those people seriously. His only goal was Victoria Mingkong.

As for others, he really didn’t care at all.

Lan Yu’er, however, was a bit sentimental, "Talents really emerge in succession, each generation stronger than the last. Thinking back to the time in the True Demon Forbidden Land, those within the top one hundred from the previous competition were so full of vigor. Yet now, they are either killed or eliminated, with only a few managing to break into the top one hundred."

"Indeed, competition is too fierce, out with the old and in with the new. If those people weren’t eliminated, there wouldn’t be newcomers like Dai Yuling, Leng Hao, Sister Lan, Joshua Long, and myself breaking into the ranks of the distinguished."

Ling Xiao also smiled, "As of now, the Southern Three Sects have completely declined, with not a single person breaking into the top hundred. In contrast, our Eastern Sect is more flourishing than in days past. Although Jian Wuji, that coward, joined Dragon Sky Academy, our Moon Hua Sect has risen to power; plus, with Joshua Long and Ying Wu Ya, a total of six of us have squeezed into the ranks of the distinguished.

This is indeed a rare occurrence."

"Enough talk, it’s my turn to go on stage!"

Lan Yu’er went to battle with high spirits, becoming more valiant with each fight.

In the midst of battle, her understanding of the "Moon Radiance Holy Scripture" grew increasingly skillful.

Ling Xiao absolutely believed that given more time to Lan Yu’er, she would be able to break into the ranks of the Sixth Young Master of Holy Dynasty.

But for now, making it into the top twenty shouldn’t pose much of a problem, she just needed a bit of guidance.

Breaking into the top ten might be difficult, but he might be able to help.

"Sister Lan, wait a moment."

Ling Xiao pointed at Lan Yu’er’s forehead, infusing Soul Power, pointing out the weaknesses exposed in her previous battles one by one and also proposed methods of correction.

That was all Ling Xiao could do in such a short time.

"Thank you, Junior Brother!"

Lan Yu’er’s face showed a surprised and joyful expression. She knew that her comprehension of the Moon Radiance Holy Scripture had flaws, but she wasn’t exactly clear where those flaws lay.

Now, however, she understood.

In the upcoming battle, Lan Yu’er did not end the fight quickly. Instead, she used the combat to grasp the weaknesses Ling Xiao had pointed out and worked on correcting them.

She was internalizing these insights as her own.

After nearly two hundred moves, she finally smiled and then, with a palm strike, she knocked her opponent out of the Martial Arts Platform, securing an easy victory.

At this moment, she was obviously stronger than before.

Not only could she feel it, but her opponent, having fought her, could clearly feel it as well.

Ling Xiao nodded in satisfaction and then withdrew his gaze, turning his attention to the matches of his own group.

As for Leng Hao and Dai Yuling, they would have to leave it to fate.

The gap in strength made their chances of getting into the top fifty quite slim; there was not much Ling Xiao could do to help, and they had to fight for it themselves.

The fighting continued, and Ling Xiao’s opponents became wiser, one after another, conceding defeat.

Until he encountered Liang Xiao.

During this time, Liang Xiao had also been on a winning streak, and not only that, he had consecutively defeated Zhai Juan, Wind Devil Ting, Liu Lan, and Po Qian Jun, his momentum even fiercer than Ling Xiao’s.

So when he faced Ling Xiao, there was absolutely no way he would admit defeat.

Even before the match began, everyone could feel that this was going to be an extremely exciting fight.

Therefore, everyone was somewhat excited.

Whatever had happened to Liang Xiao, they didn’t care at all.

What they were concerned about now was which of the two would win or lose in this clash.

Both had unbeatable winning streaks, though they "luckily" had not encountered Mo Wu Shang and Holy Son Victoria Mingkong.

Only those in the know realized that all this was deliberately arranged.

Some did not want Ling Xiao to face the Holy Son and Mo Wu Shang too early but preferred to use Liang Xiao to test Ling Xiao’s true strength.

On the Martial Arts Platform, Liang Xiao showcased his fused Martial Soul, giving him not only all of Feng Renjie’s strength temporarily but also a special ability—levitation.

This wasn’t flying but rather the ability to stay aloft for a considerable time, allowing him to confront his enemy mid-air.

An Array Formation had been set up on the Martial Arts Platform, but the height limit was thirty meters, which made it easy for Liang Xiao to use his levitation.

Though he had gained Feng Renjie’s strength and was much more powerful than before, even easily overcoming Po Qian Jun, facing Ling Xiao, he still dared not be careless.

Standing on strange currents of air, Liang Xiao looked down at Ling Xiao from above.

In his view, once the distance was drawn out, Ling Xiao’s moves would become easier to defend against.

Being able to levitate was in itself a huge advantage.

Moreover, his levitation combined with his Body Movement Technique meant he could move very fast; even if Ling Xiao attempted a surprise attack, he could dodge it at this distance.

The thirty-meter distance was the foundation of his confidence in victory.

"Ling Xiao should be out of options now, right? I didn’t expect Liang Xiao could actually fly. Although it’s not real flight, it’s definitely enough on this small Martial Arts Platform," said the audience below, their eyes lighting up.
