Chapter 197: Chapter 197 God Prison King Fist_1

Shi Yu Lian felt some regret, regretting that she had not insisted on dissuading her father.

She also felt somewhat fortunate, fortunate that she did not challenge Ling Xiao like Li Xinghui did.

Ling Xiao had obtained a fine treasure from the Baiyun Governor Wan Ben—a battle-ax, in addition to ten Heavenly Crystals and a nearly Transcendent Martial Arts technique he had carefully selected.

Afterward, he left White Cloud Temple amidst the cheering of the Hidden Dragon Camp disciples, to pack up his belongings.

Behind him were the angry stares of the talented students from Heavenly Ninja Academy.

Upon returning to the Hidden Dragon Camp, Lin Ze personally presided over a farewell party for Ling Xiao, Ling Yixue, and others.

And on that day, Ling Xiao’s name became a legend in Hidden Dragon Camp, talked about enthusiastically by those who came after.

Although Ling Yixue and Dai Yuling had become true disciples of Master Baiyun,

the excitement people felt over Ling Xiao killing Li Xinghui in four moves on the Cliff of Life and Death was even greater. Compared to those two mysterious girls, Ling Xiao was more fitting to become a legendary hero of the common people.

That day, Lin Ze, in front of everyone at Hidden Dragon Camp, took Ling Xiao as his true disciple.

Lin Ze had no children of his own, and since Ling Xiao had become his only true disciple, he naturally inherited everything from him, his legacy.

It was the highest honor.

However, when the celebratory banquet had ended, Lin Ze told Ling Xiao that although becoming his true disciple meant he would gain certain things, the dangers he would face might also be more numerous.

He asked Ling Xiao if he was still willing to become his disciple,

giving Ling Xiao a chance to refuse.

Faced with Lin Ze’s question, Ling Xiao simply smiled and said, "General Lin, I, Ling Xiao, have admired you since I was a child, and I still do to this day. Becoming your disciple is the honor of my life!"

"Good! Good lad! With your words, even if I, Lin Ze, die on the battlefield, I will be content!"

Lin Ze was a tough man who had never cried, but this time he cried, tears streaming down his face, his body shaking, his voice choked with emotion.

He had taken on disciples before, but two had been killed, and one, unable to cope with near-daily assassination attempts, had betrayed their sect.

Since then, he hadn’t wanted to take any more disciples.

Even though the Twelve Tiger Guards were so outstanding, he had never thought of taking them as his disciples.

But the emergence of Ling Xiao changed his mind.

Because he felt that Ling Xiao could inherit his mantle, that even if he died, Ling Xiao could still keep the Town General’s Mansion standing tall within Baiyun Province without falling.

The Twelve Tiger Guards couldn’t surpass Wan Ben, but Ling Xiao could!

This was an inexplicable trust, but he was willing to bet it all on Ling Xiao.

That day, Ling Xiao, Ling Yixue, Dai Yuling, and others moved from Hidden Dragon Camp to White Cloud Temple.

There were no private courtyards, no servants, the food was plain, and life was austere, but no one complained.

Because including Ling Xiao, all twelve talents were clear in their hearts that enduring some hardship was nothing, for if one could become a powerful figure like Master Baiyun, what could they not attain?

Of course, even though the food wasn’t great and the living conditions were lacking, the resources were very abundant.

In White Cloud Temple, all beginner disciples received a monthly stipend of fifty thousand shadow coins, a hundred low-grade spirit stones, and ten True Essence Pills.

In addition, there were many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, spiritual medicines, and so on.

This was an advantage.

Not to mention other things, just this alone was enough to make countless martial artists envious. With the guidance of Master Baiyun on top of that, what did it matter if the food was a bit worse?

Upon moving into White Cloud Temple, Ling Xiao did not rush to cultivate, but instead immersed himself in the world of Mountain and River World, watching the Seven-Star Flower being slowly restored.

The beautiful flower, which looked as if it was crafted from crystal, was fully restored after a quarter of an hour, though it cost a great deal of materials.

Once the Seven-Star Flower was repaired, Ling Xiao couldn’t wait to test his potential.

Seven flowers, all three colors!

Martial Soul potential seven stars, inner strength potential seven stars, physical potential seven stars!

And he clearly hadn’t fully released his potential yet.

That is to say, his potential was no less than any of Master Baiyun’s four true disciples and might even be stronger than them.

After all, whether it was Zuo Leng, Ming Tian, or Ling Yixue, they all had just over seven stars in one aspect of potential.

Dai Yuling didn’t even reach five stars.

But him, all three aspects of his potential were above seven stars.

Previously, he didn’t understand why he cultivated so quickly and grasped Martial Arts so swiftly, but now he seemed to have a more definite answer.

Having confirmed his potential, Ling Xiao felt even more confident about his future, as potential truly mattered.

Afterward, he turned his focus to cultivation.

He had just acquired a set of pre-Transcendent Martial Arts, the Divine Prison King Fist, from Wan 犇.

This was a set of fist techniques that Ling Xiao chose himself because, according to the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s analysis, once the Divine Prison King Fist was cultivated to the Transcendental Realm and paired with an appropriate Martial Soul, it could evolve into a Transcendent Martial Arts and gain new moves with greater power.

But one look at Wan 犇’s expression was enough to tell how valuable this was; he probably wished he could slap Ling Xiao dead.

However, Ling Xiao did not care about that. Wan 犇 had already offended him, so he didn’t mind offending him again, as long as the Martial Arts was good.

His Falling Star Fist, despite numerous upgrades, was beginning to fall behind as his cultivation level rose. It was a little regrettable to let it go, but when it was time to abandon, it had to be done.

Of course, the Falling Star Fist was still useful against grunts or Martial Artists weaker than him.

The Divine Prison King Fist only had four movements—Bullhead Split, Horse Face Crush, Impermanent Strangulation, and Ghost King Extermination.

But as a pre-Transcendent Martial Arts, it was not easy to cultivate.

Ling Xiao created three avatars, with the original body comprehending the Divine Prison King Fist. One avatar continued to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, and the other persisted in cultivating the Snow Lotus True Scripture.

The Snow Lotus True Scripture belonged to Internal Cultivation Mind Techniques, which were imperative for cultivation; otherwise, it would be difficult to improve one’s realm.

The Heavenly Dragon Golden Body was for reinforcing the body, which was also necessary. Moreover, it was the only Transcendent Martial Arts Ling Xiao currently mastered, so naturally, it deserved more attention.

Moreover, once the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body broke through to the fifth layer, one could ascend to the Transcendent Realm without worrying about how to break through to the Extraordinary Sacred Realm.

Other aspects could be put aside for the time being.

White Cloud Temple truly was an ideal place.

It was said that this place was chosen by Master Baiyun himself, who also set up a special Array Formation here, which made cultivation much more efficient.

It took Ling Xiao only one shichen to completely master the first move "Bullhead Split" of the Divine Prison King Fist.

However, while cultivating the Divine Prison King Fist, Ling Xiao also encountered some problems.

His Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique had not reached the ninth rotation, which was trouble.

The first movement of the Divine Prison King Fist was so terrifyingly powerful that executing it could cause joint dislocation and even symptoms like bone fractures and muscle cramps.

If only the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique could be cultivated to the ninth rotation, there would be no need to worry about these problems, as the ninth rotation enabled limb regeneration, let alone issues with dislocations and fractures.

But cultivating the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique required plenty of gold.
