Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Disciple Assessment_1

Apart from the Transcendent Martial Arts, Ling Xiao could take a look at other books, including Astronomy and Geography, as well as various amusing anecdotes and observations.

Advanced Martial Arts in the outside world are the dream of all Martial Master Realm experts, including those at the Martial Pulse Ninth Level.

But here, Ling Xiao could freely review Advanced Martial Arts, which was probably the biggest benefit of becoming a disciple of a Transcendent Warrior.

However, although he could consult and learn from these Martial Arts, he was not allowed to take any of them out.

Of course, this restriction was not very significant to Ling Xiao since he could easily copy any Advanced Martial Art he picked up.

After reading the introduction, if he was interested, he would look at it a few times more; if not, he would just throw it back since the copying was already finished.

In the pursuit of Martial Arts, one must not be greedy for too much.

Therefore, Ling Xiao’s goals were very clear.

His defense Martial Art was the Transcendent Martial Art "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body."

The Internal Cultivation Mind Technique was the Advanced Martial Art "Snow Lotus True Scripture."

The fist technique was the Advanced Martial Art "Divine Prison King Fist."

The cultivation secret method was the Advanced Martial Art "Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique."

The soul cultivation method was the Advanced Martial Art "Soul Burning Secret."

So there was no need to select Martial Arts in these areas anymore.

"Heavy Shadow Sword Technique" was slightly inferior, being top-notch among the upper echelons of Martial Arts, though with a finishing move, its power was no less than that of an Advanced Martial Art.

But since it was ultimately just top-notch Martial Arts, it had to be upgraded.

Apart from that, "Soaring Cloud Step" needed to evolve, "Sword Control Technique" needed to be improved, and "Ox Demon Technique" also needed to evolve.

With this, the targets became very clear.

After careful selection, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but express his admiration, "A Transcendent Warrior really is a Transcendent Warrior. Master Baiyun’s array of Advanced Martial Arts in this Skill Transfer Hall is utterly astonishing, even richer than the Advanced Martial Arts in the Ling Family’s Book Collection Pavilion!"

The complete version of the "Thirteen Swords of Shadow Transformation," an Advanced Martial Art, with the first six layers being identical to the "Heavy Shadow Sword Technique," were essentially the same thing. The "Thirteen Swords of Shadow Transformation" just had an additional three layers.

Upon cultivating to the Seventh Layer, the number of shadow avatars could increase to six.

Upon cultivating to the Eighth Layer, the number of shadow avatars could increase to nine.

Upon cultivating to the Ninth Layer at the Perfect Realm, the number of shadow avatars could increase to thirteen, instantly striking with thirteen sword shadows, which is quite terrifying.

"Sword Mastery Bronze Scroll," an Advanced Martial Art also known as "Five Elements Sword Control Technique."

After cultivation, it enables integration of the Five Elements into the Flying Sword, producing different effects, more powerful and faster than the Iron Scroll, with effects that are even more magical.

There are a total of five forms, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, with the sequence being inconsequential.

As for the cultivation of "Soaring Cloud Step" and "Ox Demon Technique," that relies on the foundation laid by a large number of Advanced Martial Arts, which isn’t a problem. Before he had the "Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique," he could do it, and now with it, his cultivation speed is even faster.

Cultivating several Advanced Martial Arts as materials to upgrade these two special techniques is the plan.

Other people would be anxious to cultivate after selecting their Martial Arts.

After all, they have only three shichen of time each day.

But Ling Xiao doesn’t need to rush, as he can take his time to cultivate once he returns.

So at this moment, he started browsing through the notes and books left by Master Baiyun, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of the world.

When he was still a beggar, Ling Xiao loved listening to his grandfather’s stories about the outside world.

But his grandfather Hong Qi was just a beggar after all, and didn’t know much. The most he talked about were affairs of Baiyun Province; he couldn’t cover everything about the Northern Han Kingdom, let alone the Human Sacred Dynasty, other overseas countries, and the rest of the world.

"Can it be? Isn’t the Human Sacred Dynasty the center of the world? How can it just be one of the countries on the Heavenly Dragon Continent?"

Seeing a passage in the records, Ling Xiao was astounded.

This world is called the "Mysterious World."

The Mysterious World has Thirteen Continents, with the Heavenly Dragon Continent being just one of them. The Human Sacred Dynasty is located on this continent, and although it is considered to be a relatively large country, it is only ranked third!

This fact was a bit hard for Ling Xiao to accept at the moment.

In traditional views, the Human Sacred Dynasty was seen as the center of the world, the largest kingdom, and the only one belonging to the Human Race.

But now it seemed that the reality was quite different from this perception.

Above the Heavenly Dragon Continent, there were hundreds of countries large and small, but only three were truly powerful—the Human Sacred Dynasty, the Blue-eyed Empire, and the Barbarian Golden Tribe.

The Ninja Country, home of the Ninja Clan, was also relatively well-known but was merely a small country.

However, the Ninja Clan’s martial arts development was obviously better than that of the Human Sacred Dynasty, so their prestige on the Heavenly Dragon Continent had gradually surpassed that of the Human Sacred Dynasty.

Today’s Human Sacred Dynasty could be said to be vulnerable to all; originally composed of thirteen subordinate nations, it was incredibly powerful and indeed the most formidable kingdom on the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

But with the disappearance of the Martial Soul and the decay and corruption within the Human Sacred Dynasty, this huge entity was almost in a state of disintegration.

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Originally, he thought Tianfeng City was the most prosperous city, and Yunkong City was an unreachable place.

But now, he suddenly realized that, let alone Yunkong City, even the entire Baiyun Province was not worth mentioning.

After all, Baiyun Province was just a province under the Northern Han Kingdom, one of the thirteen subordinate nations of the Human Sacred Dynasty.

It was a pity that when he wanted to see more content, he found far too little information.

Apart from the more detailed records of the Human Sacred Dynasty on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, almost all other descriptions were briefly mentioned.

The names of the other twelve continents within the Mysterious World were not even listed, indicating that Master Baiyun did not know of them.

It seemed that to find out more, one had only to wait until one’s strength became strong enough to ascend to the Transcendent Realm before going out to explore.

How big is the Mysterious World, really?

What wondrous things exist on the Thirteen Continents?

These thoughts truly stirred one’s blood.

All of a sudden, Ling Xiao felt that he had one more reason to improve his strength: to uncover the secrets of the world.

The world was so vast; one must go and see it for oneself.

After leaving the Skill Transfer Hall, Ling Xiao entered into a state of cultivation again.

But this time, he had only one goal, which was to evolve the "Soaring Cloud Step."

Body movement technique had always been very important to him. Although the Ghost Ship Remnant Soul combined with the "Soaring Cloud Step" was already close to a semi-Transcendent body movement technique, it was still not quite up to standard.

This left him clearly behind others in terms of body movement technique.

After all, the "Bull Demon Technique" was only an auxiliary skill, while the "Soaring Cloud Step" was a crucial means for saving one’s life. It couldn’t be taken lightly.

To evolve the Soaring Cloud Step was relatively simple; it only required the use of two semi-Transcendent body movement techniques as a foundation.

Some might say, since there are semi-Transcendent body movement techniques available, why bother evolving the "Soaring Cloud Step"?

The reason is simple: after evolution, the "Soaring Cloud Step," even if not a Transcendent body movement technique, would definitely be the strongest among the semi-Transcendent ones.

Thus, it would absolutely be much more powerful than an ordinary semi-Transcendent body movement technique.

Seven days later, Ling Xiao emerged from seclusion again.

At the same time, Dai Yuling and others also left their training, with the White Cloud Sect Leader, Real Person Yiran, presiding over the assessment.

All of Master Baiyun’s disciples under the age of sixteen gathered at the White Cloud Temple’s Martial Arts Hall.

"Is our revered master not coming?"

Fei Yu asked Real Person Yiran somewhat disappointedly.

He had been studying and practicing diligently during this time and although his cultivation level had not advanced to the Eighth Layer of Martial Pulse, he had cultivated a semi-Transcendent Martial Arts to the Perfect Realm and was eager to show off his skills in front of Master Baiyun.

Therefore, seeing that Master Baiyun had not come, he naturally felt a bit disappointed.
