Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Times Have Changed_1

"I’ll heed your words,"

Ling Yixue retreated to one side.

"Good! Well done!"

Lin Ze looked at Ling Yixue and exclaimed in admiration, "Such an impressive strength for a lady so young. If you would join our Town General’s Mansion, that would truly be my fortune."

"The general flatters me. If my junior brother joins, then I will join,"

Ling Yixue said indifferently.

At this moment, all eyes converged on Ling Xiao.

These gazes were filled with jealousy, admiration, and envy.

Ling Yixue, who was akin to an ice mountain fairy, actually listened to someone like that, how could one not be envious?

In the crowd, there was a pair of malicious eyes.

These eyes belonged to Ling Feifan.

In fact, there was no deep hatred between him and Ling Xiao.

It was just that he had once pursued Ling Yixue wholeheartedly, and now seeing Ling Yixue’s attitude towards Ling Xiao, could he fail to understand the implications?

Fury built up inside him.

It was as if he was about to explode.

He gritted his teeth fiercely and touched an Illusory Pill at his waist.

This was a special Illusory Pill obtained from the Ninja Clan, capable of sending a martial artist into a frenzied state for a short time.

Unfeeling to pain, with a sudden surge in strength.

He originally did not want to use it, because after using it one would lose their rationality, and it was unpredictable what one might end up doing.

But now he planned to use it.

If Ling Xiao passed Lin Ze’s assessment, he would beat Ling Xiao, leave him utterly defeated and disgraced.

He slowly got up from the ground and then retreated into the crowd, because he didn’t want Ling Xiao and Ling Yixue to see him yet.

"Young brother, you are this lady’s junior brother?"

Lin Ze asked with a smile.

"I have long heard of General Lin’s great name since my youth, and to see you in person today is indeed a great fortune," Ling Xiao replied without any flattery. What he said was the truth.

Lin Ze deserved such words from him.

Actually, no matter Lin Ze’s strength, he was a man Ling Xiao greatly admired.

"You’ve seen me before?"

Lin Ze, who didn’t take kindly to flattery, had a somewhat poorer impression of Ling Xiao.

"The general might not remember, but many years ago on the streets of Tianfeng City, a little beggar was nearly killed by a runaway carriage, and thanks to your intervention, you threw the carriage aside and saved that little beggar’s life,"

Ling Xiao, unaware of Lin Ze’s thoughts, simply expressed his slightly excited emotions.

"That little beggar wasn’t you, was it?" Lin Ze exclaimed in surprise.

"It was indeed me!"

Ling Xiao said proudly, "From that day on, I had the wish to follow General Lin into battle, to fend off foreign enemies. Today, I have finally found the opportunity."

"Are you confident you can last a hundred moves from Lin Chen’s hands?" Lin Ze was curious. This young man’s aura was merely at the peak of the Fifth Level Martial Pulse; where did his confidence come from? Was he another one who overestimated himself?

This was mainly because Ling Xiao’s Mountain and River Martial Soul template effect was too good, so much so that even an expert like Lin Ze couldn’t see through his cultivation level.

"Not quite."

Ling Xiao said with a smile, shaking his head.

"Young brother, you want to join the Town General’s Mansion with your senior sister, don’t you? Well, since your senior sister is a genius, I might make an exception for her sake,"

Lin Ze was not a stubborn old man.

If he could recruit Ling Yixue into the Town General’s Mansion, what would it matter if he had to take on a Ling Xiao as well?

"I’m going to kill you!"

Just as Ling Xiao was about to speak again, William Turner had already freed himself from the ice and furiously yelled at Ling Yixue.

"General, it seems you’ve misunderstood me. I mean to say, like my senior sister, I don’t wish to spar with Lin Chen. I just want to teach William Turner a lesson, so no one can say that our Tianfeng City lacks capable people,"

Ling Xiao quickly took the opportunity to say.

His words caught Lin Ze by surprise.

If he said Ling Yixue could defeat William Turner, he could believe it; after all, he recognized the girl’s abilities when she took the stage.

But Ling Xiao...

To be honest, he really hadn’t seen anything particularly special about him.

"Young brother, one must act according to their capabilities,"

Lin Ze said with a wry smile, thinking Ling Xiao was just being overly ambitious.

"General Lin, my junior brother is no weaker than me," Ling Yixue spoke.

"Oh?"

Lin Ze couldn’t help but show a look of astonishment.

Considering Ling Yixue had said this, there should be no falsehoods involved.

"Alright then, you haven’t told me your name yet?"

"The younger generation is Ling Xiao!"

"Ah! He is Ling Xiao!"

"Is it the same Ling Xiao who defeated Li Xinghui?"

"I’ve only heard about him, but have never seen him. I didn’t realize he was so young."

"No mistake, I saw him in action with my own eyes that day. His ’Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique’ and ’Heavy Shadow Sword Technique’ are both terrifying."

After Ling Xiao introduced himself, the people below finally confirmed his identity.

Although some people previously thought he resembled Ling Xiao, they were somewhat reluctant to confirm it.

"So you are Ling Xiao, the leader of the Four Young Masters of Tianfeng City? Good, then I’ll kill you first before I deal with that woman."

Upon hearing the name Ling Xiao, William Turner next to him was instantly fired up.

"Hehe, since both of you are willing to spar, then give it a try,"

Lin Ze smiled and finally completely changed his opinion of Ling Xiao.

If Ling Xiao’s composure was not deliberately faked, then this young man was truly terrifying.

Facing a martial artist at the Ninth Layer Pinnacle of Martial Veins without a trace of cowardice or fear, he still appeared so steady and shrewd.

Just this mentality alone made him much stronger than many others.

Including many of the outstanding talents within the Town General’s Mansion, who were far from comparable to this youngster.

On the stage, Ling Xiao and William Turner each stood on one side.

"You said earlier that Tianfeng City had no one worthy?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"That’s right!"

William Turner answered.

"You said that the martial artists of Tianfeng City are all trash?"

"That’s right, I said that too!"

"Then how do you explain losing to Senior Yi Xue?" Ling Xiao asked coldly.

"That was just an accident, I underestimated her and did not use my real skills," William Turner said again.

"How shameless, the martial artists of Tianfeng City are trash if they lose, but you were just underestimating when you lose?"

Ling Xiao scoffed, "Alright, then I’ll give you a chance to use your real skills. What will you do if you lose to me?"

"Lose to you? Impossible!"

William Turner laughed out loud.

"What if you do lose?"

"If I do lose, I will apologize to all the martial artists of Tianfeng City in public!" William Turner confidently declared.

"Good, I hope you will keep your promise."

Ling Xiao smiled faintly and then assumed his stance.

Wild Ox Power!

Facing William Turner, Ling Xiao didn’t even use Advanced Martial Arts but relied on the most elementary Basic Martial Arts!

Looking down on me?

William Turner became furious!

The martial artists watching below were also astonished; they had not expected Ling Xiao to be so contemptuous of his opponent.

Was Ling Xiao really underestimating his opponent?

No, he wasn’t!

He had already cultivated the Wild Ox Power, a set of Basic Martial Arts, to the Transcendental Realm!

Its power was comparable to that of the Advanced Martial Arts at the Great Achievement Realm!

And when combined with the ’Bull Demon Technique,’ the power of this basic martial arts set could be compared to the Perfect Realm of Advanced Martial Arts!

But the most terrifying aspect was not these.

What was most terrifying was that Ling Xiao had understood the usage of Soul Power from the Terrifying Finger.

Thus, he had applied this Soul Power in his refinement of the Wild Ox Power.

The Wild Ox Power had no fixed moves to begin with.

After such transformation, the power of Wild Ox Power may not compare to the Terrifying Finger, but it was already not inferior to a top-level beginner martial arts technique.
