Chapter 260: Chapter 260 Sudden Promotion_1

Jin Ming, Yang Cheng, and Li Anle’s appearance on the square was met with awe in the eyes of all the Outer Disciples gathered there.

Of course, Ling Xiao was an exception.

To command his awe, at the very least you’d have to be at the Transcendent Realm.

"The one in white is Yang Cheng. He’s skilled with the spear, and his technique is terrifying. If you want to get revenge for Wu Xiang, you’ll have to thoroughly understand him," Zhao Zhi continued.

Next to Yang Cheng stood Li Anle, ranked twenty-sixth, adept at Light-work Skill and Body Movement Technique.

"The one in the middle is Jin Ming, right?"

"Yes, that’s Jin Ming!"

Zhao Zhi nodded.

Jin Ming was clearly shorter than Yang Cheng and Li Anle, yet he projected a strange illusion, as if he were the tallest and most formidable among the three.

His figure was slim, reminiscent of a skinny monkey.

Yet the confidence and strength in those eyes incited fear.

"Don’t be fooled by Jin Ming’s unimpressive appearance; the kid is formidable. You might not guess it, but his specialty is defensive Martial Arts. His body is incredibly tough; don’t be deceived by appearances," Zhao Zhi cautioned.

Ling Xiao nodded.

This was something others could not see, but he could.

Jin Ming must possess a complete Martial Soul that enhances his body, and his potential in that aspect should also be quite powerful.

Ling Xiao was certain that even without utilizing True Essence, Jin Ming could easily defeat any ordinary martial artist below the Ninth Layer Pinnacle of Martial Veins.

"Hmm?"

What Ling Xiao had not anticipated was that the imposing aura and pressure from Jin Ming allowed him to break through under these circumstances.

This guy’s presence was too strong. Compared to Tian Chao, he was nothing short of an ant.

Ling Xiao closed his eyes, beginning to consolidate his early Ninth Level Martial Veins Cultivation Level.

Breaking through now was not a matter of wasting time, but fortunately, he could switch between his true body and his Martial Soul Avatar.

His true body entered the Mountain and River World to cultivate.

Meanwhile, his Martial Soul Avatar stood outside, continuing to chat with Zhao Zhi.

Yet Zhao Zhi noticed nothing at all about such a huge change.

In addition to possessing a complete Martial Soul for enhancing his body, Jin Ming must have cultivated a defensive Martial Arts technique comparable to the "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body."

This must be something Jin Ming acquired from outside.

Indeed, geniuses like himself weren’t limited to just Ling Xiao alone.

As for Jin Ming’s potential in the bodily aspect, it likely was not inferior even when compared to Ming Tian.

When he arrived on the square, Jin Ming’s aura swelled even more noticeably.

Many Outer Disciples trembled with fear, some even knelt directly on the ground.

That terrifying presence was genuinely uncomfortable, causing unrest in the body’s Qi and blood, and even making it seem as if the True Essence would reverse flow.

"Terrifying!"

Zhao Zhi’s complexion turned somewhat pale. Although he didn’t kneel, his body was visibly shaking. "In the secular world, I’ve never seen such a fearsome Half-step Grandmaster. His aura might already be on par with that of a Transcendent Warrior."

"Hehe, that Ling Xiao is not bad at all. Not only did he defeat Tian Chao, but he also remains unshaken under Brother Jin’s aura. Impressive, quite impressive," Li Anle said with a smile.

"Only three people can stand there; he is indeed exceptional," Yang Cheng commented with a cold expression on his face.

At that moment, the only ones standing were Ling Xiao, Zhao Zhi, and Xu Ying, while the rest were either kneeling or lying prostrate on the ground.

"Hmph!"

Jin Ming snorted coldly, but it was directed at Ling Xiao, as a strong breath became tangible, rushing straight towards Ling Xiao.

It was a pity that what stood there was the Martial Soul Avatar.

The true body might have been affected by the breath, but the Martial Soul Avatar was not affected at all. As it was wholly formed by Soul Power and True Essence, without blood and qi, it was basically immune to the influence of breath.

Therefore, Ling Xiao still stood there, a smile on his face.

Jin Ming’s expression changed as he said, "Well, this kid does have some skills. But if he wants to bully his way through the Outer Sect, he’ll have to get past me first!"

"That’s right, senior brother Jin, you are the embodiment of justice, the idol of the weak. Ling Xiao even bullied Tian Chao; he’s too oppressive."

Li Anle hurriedly flattered.

No one knew what Tian Chao had said, but it seemed that Ling Xiao’s reputation among the Outer Disciples wasn’t good at all.

Jin Ming seemed quite pleased with Li Anle’s flattery, saying coldly, "When we arrange the work later, let’s start by taking this kid down a peg."

Normally, the jobs for new Outer Disciples were arranged by the Outer Sect stewards.

However, under the pretense of training the disciples, these stewards handed the task over to the Outer Sect disciples who ranked higher.

This time, the person in charge was Jin Ming.

So if he intended to take Ling Xiao down a peg, he really could do it immediately.

What Jin Ming didn’t know was that Ling Xiao had already been reserved by the Medicine Hall Master.

"Listen carefully, the tasks for Outer Disciples are quite heavy, and if one cannot complete them, they won’t enjoy the benefits due to a Moon Hua Sect disciple and will even be punished. You all better listen clearly."

Having said this, Jin Ming handed a list to Li Anle, "Junior brother Li, you arrange it."

Actually, the work tasks on the list had already been arranged in advance, and they just needed to be read out now.

Li Anle nodded, gladly accepting the list.

For him, Jin Ming was someone he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend. He had to keep up the act with a smile, as it was the only way to get by.

Even though they both ranked within the top thirty of the Outer Sect and were Half-step Grandmasters, Jin Ming was much stronger than him.

Of course, above Jin Ming was another person, that was Senior Black Rope.

A genius from the Inner Sect, he had to handle him even more carefully or there would be serious consequences.

Although Li Anle didn’t know what Ling Xiao had done to offend Senior Black Rope, today’s incident was just a convenient excuse to deal with Ling Xiao. It was too easy.

Ling Xiao’s cultivation had already ended and he had returned the Martial Soul Avatar back to the Mountain and River World.

His cultivation level had ascended to the early stages of the Ninth Layer of Martial Veins, but from the outside, he seemed unchanged.

This was, of course, all thanks to the template.

He could handle most matters in the Outer Sect with the cultivation level of an Eighth Layer Peak Martial Master and didn’t want to reveal his Ninth Layer cultivation level yet, to avoid attracting the attention of Demonflame Celestial.

"Hmm?"

Ling Xiao, with his sharp senses, noticed that about a mile away, someone was watching this place.

He activated Soul Entry state and looked far into the distance. It was Hei Suo.

Hei Suo was sipping tea at the time, waiting to see Ling Xiao make a fool of himself.

Li Anle had already started to arrange the duties.

The responsibilities for Zhao Zhi, Xu Ying, and Zhao Ci hadn’t been announced as there were other arrangements, clearly indicating that someone had intervened in advance.

The duties for Zhao Ting and Zhao Yu, however, were very easy and lucrative.

This was all quite normal.

Xu Ying was from the Imperial Family of Ninja Country, and her talent was astonishing.

The other four were from the Imperial Family of the Northern Han Kingdom, with talents that were not lacking either, especially Zhao Zhi, whose talent was in no way inferior to Xu Ying’s. Being arranged in good positions was indeed quite normal.
