Chapter 229: Chapter 229 Ama Terasu Flame Armor_1

"I wonder what kind of opportunity my teacher intends to give his disciple?"

Ling Xiao looked at Master Baiyun, his eyes exuding cold indifference, but no hatred. The actions of Master Baiyun made him shiver.

However, after all, the man had once saved his life, so hating him was too much. At worst, they would become strangers from now on.

"Ling Xiao, you consider yourself to have quite impressive strength, and there are very few young talents in Baiyun Province who can defeat you!"

Master Baiyun spoke slowly, "But I wonder if you dare to challenge Zuo Leng? If you can tie with him, Zuo Leng’s spot will be yours."

Upon hearing this, the people from Hidden Dragon Camp were all somewhat indignant.

Zuo Leng is an early-stage Martial Master of Ninth Layer Martial Pulse.

Ling Xiao is merely an early-stage Martial Master of Eighth Layer Martial Pulse, the gap is simply too vast.

Giving such an opportunity is worse than not giving one at all.

The people from Heavenly Ninja Academy on the other side had faces full of schadenfreude, waiting to see Ling Xiao make a fool of himself.

Seeing that Ling Xiao had not spoken, Master Baiyun continued, "Of course, if you do not accept this opportunity, I will not force you. But then, let’s not talk about recommending you for a spot anymore."

This wasn’t an opportunity; he simply wanted to crush Ling Xiao’s arrogance.

Because, in his view, even if Ling Xiao had an inflated ego, he surely wouldn’t be foolish enough to challenge Zuo Leng.

However, he was wrong again.

The strength Ling Xiao had gained from nearly two months of training had increased by more than just a little bit; he had been looking for a suitable opponent to test it out on for a while now.

Zuo Leng seemed like a fitting challenger.

"Thank you, teacher. I am willing to seize this opportunity and challenge Zuo Leng!"

Ling Xiao stated unflinchingly.

"Are you sure?"

Master Baiyun asked in surprise.

"Very sure!"

Ling Xiao nodded.

"Master, I am a Ninja Warrior, and he is a Human Clan Martial Artist. During the previous war, this lad killed many of our Ninja Clan brethren, including Ming Tian’s father, who was also a former teacher of mine, so I request a battle at the Cliff of Life and Death!"

Cliff of Life and Death!

The first thought that struck everyone upon hearing this was that Zuo Leng was too ruthless. He wanted to take advantage of the competition to kill Ling Xiao outright.

"It depends on whether Ling Xiao agrees."

Master Baiyun glanced at Ling Xiao and said.

He didn’t even try to stop it, which made it clear that Master Baiyun was indeed too indulgent of Zuo Leng and Ming Tian, to the point where he wouldn’t prevent them from trying to kill someone under a pretext.

Ling Xiao had no other choice but to accept!

Because at least for now, he had no other way to enter the Twelve Sects, and he didn’t want to let go of this opportunity.

"I agree!"

Ling Xiao clenched his teeth and said.

Hearing this, the people from Heavenly Ninja Academy all showed expressions of schadenfreude.

The last time Ling Xiao and Li Xinghui had a life-and-death battle on White Cloud Temple Life and Death Cliff, Li Xinghui had been killed.

But back then, their cultivation levels weren’t far apart.

Today, however, is entirely different. Zuo Leng is an early-stage Martial Master of Ninth Layer Martial Pulse, and his cultivation level is far stronger than Ling Xiao’s.

The outcome of this battle is quite obvious!

That is, Ling Xiao will surely die.

The people from Hidden Dragon Camp showed faces full of concern.

"Junior brother, you must think this through!"

This time, even Ling Yixue, who always believed in Ling Xiao, was a little worried, for he meant too much to her.

"Yes, my lord, please reconsider," Leng Mei also said urgently.

The others were about to echo her sentiments but were stopped by Ling Xiao, "Enough, I’ve made my decision. To the Cliff of Life and Death!"

Atop the Cliff of Life and Death.

Zuo Leng’s lips curved into a cold sneer, his heart filled with malicious laughter.

Having killed so many Ninja Warriors, Ling Xiao had long become a thorn in the side of Zuo Leng, a ninja prodigy, who had been eager for Ling Xiao to taste some pain.

Of course, what was more important was that Ling Xiao actually dared to challenge him.

He considered this an insult, a contempt for him!

Therefore, he must let Ling Xiao and everyone else know that his, Zuo Leng’s, dignity was not to be despised!

The two stood facing each other.

The next moment!

Zuo Leng’s body burst forth with dazzling black flames.

The flames, with their strange pure black color, wrapped around his entire body like a suit of armor.

In that instant, it seemed to give the illusion that Zuo Leng’s body was no longer made of flesh and blood, but had transformed into an elemental body composed of flames.

"Ama Terasu Black Flame Divine Skill! And it looks like it’s at the Great Perfection realm, he has cultivated the Ama Terasu Flame Armor!"

"This Ama Terasu Black Flame Divine Skill is a very powerful Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts from the Ninja Clan, once cultivated to the Great Perfection realm, not only is it impervious to swords and spears, but it also repels both water and fire, much stronger than other Body Refining techniques at the same level!"

"Right, I’ve heard that even defensive-type Monster Beasts of the same level are not as terrifying as this technique!"

"With the Ama Terasu Flame Armor protecting his body, even if Ling Xiao has cultivated the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique, it would be meaningless. The Ama Terasu Black Flame Divine Skill is much higher in grade than the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique, it’s even close to Transcendent Martial Arts!"

"Heh heh, I’ve said before that Ling Xiao is courting death. In fact, even without using defensive Martial Skills, Zuo Leng could easily crush Ling Xiao with just his cultivation level."

Ling Xiao did not pay attention to the discussions of those from the Heavenly Ninja Academy. He looked at Zuo Leng’s body and smiled, saying, "I didn’t expect Brother Zuo Leng to have cultivated such a marvelous skill. However, I have also cultivated a defensive Martial Arts. Now, I wonder which one of us is stronger!"

While speaking, Ling Xiao’s True Essence circulated, and his body burst forth with dazzling golden light.

Gradually, a layer of golden scales appeared on his body, covering him entirely, akin to a humanoid Golden Dragon.

The third layer of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body!

Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor!

And the Heavenly Dragon Tendon hidden within his body!

Whoosh!

The True Spirit Hall instantly erupted into commotion.

Many knew of Zuo Leng’s Ama Terasu Black Flame Divine Skill, and combined with the Xu Zuo Ninja Spirit, his defense among Master Baiyun’s disciples was absolutely top-notch.

This was even stronger than Ming Tian’s.

However, no one knew about Ling Xiao’s Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, and they all thought he was using the Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique instead.

Because the two defensive Martial Skills seemed so similar on the surface, yet there was a huge difference in grade.

Regardless, from the momentum alone, the defensive Martial Skills that the two had deployed seemed to be evenly matched.

Which one was superior would have to be seen in the final outcome.

Contempt appeared on Zuo Leng’s face.

If Ling Xiao had used the attacking Martial Skill that had injured Ming Tian earlier, he might have had some misgivings, but the opponent had actually also used a defensive Martial Skill.

Truly courting death. Did he think that by choosing any defensive Martial Skills at random, he could compare with his Great Perfection realm Ama Terasu Black Flame Divine Skill?

"Interesting, let’s see just how powerful your defensive Martial Skill is," said Zuo Leng with a cold laugh, his body leaning slightly forward.

In an instant, a sonic boom rang out, and his speed reached its maximum, leaving behind trails of black flame afterimages.

In terms of speed, he didn’t seem to be much behind Ling Xiao and was likely employing some kind of Transcendent Body Movement Technique.

Just about ten feet from Ling Xiao, Zuo Leng suddenly struck out with his right hand.

This palm strike, faintly accompanied by the sound of crackling lightning, concentrated all his True Essence in his right palm, tearing through the air with a particularly piercing sound.

The sound of "sizzling" kept arising.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, stepped forward lightly, and darted out, his speed slightly faster than Zuo Leng’s.

In that short distance, he met the strike with his left fist.

His fist contained an abundance of Thunderbolt True Essence.
