Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Supreme Strength_1

Ling Xiao, though he disliked Old Baiyun, still benefited from the old man and naturally did not take pleasure in seeing him defeated.

As for the other man in black, he possessed a character that Ling Xiao despised the most: arrogant, impolite, and quick to cripple someone, as if they owned the world.

"Bang!"

"Puh——!"

A mouthful of fresh blood turned into a mist that sprayed out, and Master Baiyun’s figure sorrowfully landed, crashing heavily onto the rocks.

"I called you Uncle-Master as a sign of respect, but you really don’t know how to appreciate it, huh!"

On the other side, the man in black appeared leisurely from the dust, his clothes slightly torn but without any other injuries.

Clearly, in this confrontation, he held all the advantages.

He completely overpowered Master Baiyun.

Master Baiyun lay there, pale as paper, almost entirely drained of color, with his breathing weakened considerably.

At this moment, even a Martial Master of the Martial Pulse Eighth Level could easily kill him.

This scene shattered the mythological status of Master Baiyun in the hearts of all his disciples.

Although Master Baiyun had been injured by a punch from a Beast King Palace disciple on the battlefield earlier, that incident had happened too suddenly and swiftly, and not many were aware of it.

So, the impact wasn’t as significant.

But this time was different. Eleven disciples clearly saw Master Baiyun getting severely injured.

Who could have imagined that the once-thought myth of martial arts, Master Baiyun, would be defeated so easily by a mere thirty-year-old martial artist, and that the defeat would come so swiftly, so effortlessly?

Some already began harboring unusual thoughts in their hearts.

Even Ming Tian, who always appeared confident and composed, fell into a daze, his mind a whirlwind of chaos.

But speaking of which, Master Baiyun really was unfortunate.

He showed more favor towards the disciples from Heavenly Ninja Academy, especially doting on Ming Tian to an extreme, but when it came down to it, not one person went over to offer even a bit of help.

The disciples from Hidden Dragon Camp had no good feelings towards the old man.

In the end, the old man’s excessive favoritism had led to his own downfall.

"Hahaha, Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master, you still lead such a failing life, and now that you’re almost done for, there’s still no one willing to lend you a hand." the man in black laughed heartily.

"You..."

Master Baiyun felt a desolate sorrow but couldn’t articulate it.

He could understand the attitude of the disciples from Hidden Dragon Camp towards him, after all, he had never been fair in his actions.

But the fact that Ming Tian displayed not even a hint of concern was what hurt him the most.

"Don’t worry, Uncle-Master, I won’t kill you. Fratricide is a grave taboo, but..."

The man in black suddenly let out a sinister chuckle, his body instantly next to Ming Tian.

He glanced at Zuo Leng’s corpse on the ground with intentional nonchalance, murmured to himself, "I originally planned to deal with Ming Tian and Zuo Leng, but I didn’t expect that lad named Ling Xiao to be so formidable."

Then, he turned to Ming Tian with a smile, "You saw it all, right? I told you when we met privately before, your master really isn’t up to the mark."

"What exactly do you want!"

Ming Tian snapped back to reality, knowing he didn’t possess the terrifying foresight or body movement technique that Ling Xiao had, and was aware he couldn’t escape the man in black’s pursuit.

"Relax, I won’t kill you. Killing you would be too great a waste. Over seven stars of potential is rare indeed. So, have you considered joining me?" the man in black asked with a smile.

Ming Tian, surprisingly, did not outright refuse but fell into silence.

"Young man, you should understand the principle ’A good bird chooses a tree to nest in’! Surely Old Baiyun has told you already, right? The so-called Martial Pulse Ninth Level is merely the foundation of martial arts cultivation, known within the sect as the Martial Vein Realm!"

The man in black continued, "Only after developing all Nine Martial Meridians, can one smoothly enter the Transcendent Realm, marking the true beginning of Martial Arts cultivation. This stage is also known as the Transcendent Realm!"

"Above the Martial Pulse Ninth Level lies the Transcendent Nine Realms! Only after that can one be considered to have made some achievements and be eligible to advance to the Heavenly Man Realm!"

The man in black spoke calmly.

However, to Ling Xiao and the others, these words were extremely shocking.

Ling Xiao had thought that the Extraordinary Sacred Realm was the strongest realm, but little did he expect that above the Transcendent Realm lay the Heavenly Man Realm!

What kind of realm was that?

"I know about this."

Ming Tian spoke up, "My master indeed mentioned that the Martial Vein Realm is merely for developing the Martial Meridians and tempering the foundation. It can’t even be considered the realm of a true Martial Artist. The Transcendent Realm is where true Martial Arts begin, transcending the shackles of the mundane world!"

"You are quite clear about it. Then you should understand, although you now possess a late-stage cultivation at the Martial Pulse Ninth Level, after all, you are just a disciple who has not yet fully cultivated even the foundational realm, let alone entered the Sect. You are not even considered the lowest rank, because your master, Old Baiyun, is at that rank."

The man in black mocked, "Following your master, the greatest achievement in your life would be merely moving from a non-entity to the lowest rank. Do you really plan to settle for that?"

Ling Xiao had already realized that the man in black was trying to tempt Ming Tian to follow him.

Yet, the temptation was indeed quite potent. After all, he had already been expelled from Old Baiyun’s discipleship. If the man in black truly wished to take him in, he was quite indifferent to the offer.

This could be seen from today’s situation.

Without strength, one lacked even the most basic dignity, not to mention the right to choose the manner of one’s death!

If the man in black really intended to kill someone today, Ling Xiao guessed he might be the only one able to escape, while everyone else would die.

This was the power of strength!

Fear-inducing strength!

Not to mention the people here, even if the man in black wished to destroy Yunkong City, it would be but a moment’s work.

This fact, when thought of, truly left one with a sense of helplessness, but such was reality!

"Old Baiyun, you can’t deny my words, can you? If you can’t even defeat me, how could you ever surpass my master?"

The man in black then turned to the gasping Master Baiyun and said, "You cannot destroy this prodigy’s future just because of your own ideas, can you?"

Master Baiyun remained silent.

The harsh reality left him without the strength to speak; he had no confidence in anything he might say.

"Don’t make things difficult for my master, just get to the point and tell us what you really want!"

Ming Tian said loudly.

"Can’t you understand? Come back with me to Moon Hua Sect, and my master can take you on as his personal disciple immediately. Your status will be much higher than that of ordinary Outer Disciples, and you will also be able to enter the Inner Sect the fastest!"

The man in black stated, "Old Baiyun is less than an ant in front of my master. What kind of prospects could you have following him?"

As he spoke these words, his eyes brimmed with a fanatical adoration.

The Heavenly Man Realm, oh!

That was a realm beyond the Transcendent!

And to reach the Transcendent Realm, one had to pass through Nine Layers before it was even possible to ascend to that realm.

Cultivating to the Martial Pulse Ninth Level was already tough enough, let alone the difficulty of the Transcendent Nine Realms.

Reaching the Heavenly Man Realm, in the eyes of the man in black, was akin to becoming a godlike being.

Uncertainty evidently flickered across Ming Tian’s face.

He was considering the man in black’s offer.

"Opportunities are fleeting and won’t come again! I’m giving you just a quarter of an hour to consider; if you miss this chance, you can forget about your future prospects forever!"

The man in black stated indifferently, "My master, ’Demonflame Celestial,’ is not known for patience. He specifically asked me to accept a disciple. If I fail, heh heh..."

His words now carried an implicit threat.
