Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Day of the Desperate Battle_1

Hei Suo felt that leaving the task of dealing with Ling Xiao to Jin Ming should be foolproof.

He thought it over and over and felt there shouldn’t be any mishaps, could it be that the kid had a crush on Dai Yuling, thus he rashly initiated the death challenge in a surge of anger for a beauty?

It was quite normal for young people to make this kind of mistake.

Hei Suo couldn’t help but reveal a trace of a cold smile. Impulsiveness is the devil, he thought, and now it was too late for regrets.

He had already had the mountain’s exit passages guarded, if Ling Xiao planned to escape under the cover of night, he would definitely be the first to know.

It was infeasible to make a move within the Sect, but once outside, he could take action personally, which would increase his certainty of success.

...

One day and a bit might be too short for others.

For Ling Xiao, however, there was a lot that could be done.

In this period of more than a day, his cultivation level continued to rise, reaching one and a half steps into a Half-step Grandmaster level.

Such progression didn’t require deliberate effort, for he still had unassimilated Transcendent Body Sculpting Pills in his body. Even if he were to sleep all day, his cultivation would still improve at a considerable pace.

He didn’t even stop the tasks given to him by Yuan Venerate.

Because there was no need to stop.

With his current strength, killing those four should not be a problem.

Perhaps only Jin Ming would cause him some trouble; the other three were simply not worth mentioning.

Additionally, he took the opportunity to have his Martial Soul Avatar craft thirty-six Sky Gang Flying Swords for him.

Though the name sounds impressive, they were merely top quality Flying Swords.

In order to collect materials, he sold ten Top-quality True Essence Pills and finally completed the crafting of the thirty-six Sky Gang Flying Swords.

Thus, the Gentle Breeze Sword could be considered honorably retired.

After the successful crafting of the thirty-six Sky Gang Flying Swords, his Sword Mastery Bronze Scroll had become his deadliest martial skill.

Not only sudden but also terrifying.

Naturally, he would use it as his trump card.

Besides, his Divine Dragon True Essence had become ever more pure, directly transforming into Divine Dragon True Essence through the Snow Lotus True Solution.

This meant he didn’t need to rush to cultivate a Gold-tier Internal Strength Cultivation Method.

Because his current Divine Dragon True Essence was already on par with the strength of Gold-tier rare True Essence.

That is to say, Divine Dragon True Essence usually would be two levels stronger than the original True Essence he cultivated.

This level of True Essence was more than enough to deal with Outer Disciples.

Not to mention that he still had Fierce Beast True Essence and Thunderbolt True Element in his body, which belonged to Transcendent Realm experts.

If ranked according to Internal Cultivation Mind Techniques, they should be equivalent to the True Essence produced by top-grade Gold-tier methods.

His ultimate secret techniques were not just one or two.

In terms of Martial Soul, he also had an absolute advantage. If it weren’t for the fear of being too conspicuous, he could use three types of Martial Soul at the same time.

At present, his Martial Souls had improved as well, although the progress wasn’t very significant.

It seemed that after the Martial Soul became complete, the speed of improvement noticeably slowed down.

To solve this issue, every martial artist had different methods.

However, Ling Xiao felt the most suitable method for himself was to plunder the Martial Souls of his opponents and then devour them, which would result in the fastest improvement.

Dawn broke.

It was the day of the death challenge.

Ling Xiao retracted his two Avatars and then stepped out of his cave dwelling.

Outside the door, Yang Dan Lin, Lan Yu’er, and even Dai Yuling waiting there with her frail body.

Daniel and Elizabeth Zhao came too, but the two had quite different mindsets.

Daniel felt that Ling Xiao was someone worth forming a close relationship with.

Elizabeth, on the other hand, simply pitied him.

Apart from them, many other Outer Disciples of note had gathered nearby.

All of these people were among the top thirty disciples.

They had relatively light duties, so it wasn’t a problem for them to come to Desperate Tower just for the excitement.

"Oh, there he comes, there he comes, I thought this kid got scared and ran off from the sect already."

"What does it matter that he has come out? He’s only going to his death. Let’s go to Desperate Tower. Today’s battles are going to be quite a spectacle."

With a swift motion of their feet, these figures turned into lingering shadows, heading towards Desperate Tower.

Already, a large crowd had gathered around Desperate Tower.

Of course, the vast majority were Outer Disciples, but there were also a few Inner Sect Disciples who came to join in the excitement.

These Inner Sect Disciples had lower cultivation levels, only below the third level of Transcendent Realm, so they were quite interested in the prospective Inner Sect Disciples of the Outer Sect, because these candidates could very well become their rivals in the future.

"Why hasn’t he arrived yet? Ling Xiao wouldn’t have run away, would he?"

"Hehehe, I think he definitely ran away. Anyone would be too scared to face four death challenges in one day, especially against Half-step Grandmasters. Even a Transcendent Realm martial artist wouldn’t dare to do such a thing."

"Exactly, that kid probably made the decision in the heat of the moment and is now regretting it."

"Ling Xiao is here!"

As they were discussing, Ling Xiao had already arrived gracefully.

Those following him included Yang Dan Lin, Lan Yu’er, Dai Yuling, Daniel, Elizabeth, and a few other Outer Disciples he was on good terms with.

"Why has Elder Master Yang come?"

"And Sister Lan is here too!"

"You guys don’t know, but Ling Xiao might already be taken under Elder Master Yang’s wing for training as his successor."

"There’s also a rumor that Sister Lan has taken a liking to this guy."

"Don’t talk nonsense, Sister Lan has always held herself above such matters. She even disregards the top-ranked brother from the Inner Sect, so how could she possibly fall for that kid?"

Despite what they said, Ling Xiao’s attitude towards Lan Yu’er did seem somewhat ambiguous—their relationship appeared too intimate.

Ling Xiao took a look around at the onlookers near Desperate Tower.

There were already over a thousand people, which included ninety percent Outer Disciples.

Didn’t these people have work to do?

Their curiosity was indeed excessive.

He was unaware that, because the death challenge this time was so shocking, the Sect had simply given all the Outer Disciples a day off. Save for those in closed-door training unable to come, everyone else had flocked here for the excitement, which was why the crowd was so huge.

"Ling Xiao, good that you’ve come. I was afraid you wouldn’t show up. Otherwise, whom would I go to for my revenge?"

Yang Cheng had arrived before dawn because he was too excited and eager to personally kill Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao just glanced at him indifferently before casting his gaze towards Jin Ming, Tuoba Shan, and Gongyang Nu.

In terms of aura, Jin Ming was clearly much superior to the other Outer Disciples.

That kind of aura was almost like that of a Transcendent Realm expert.

"Have you heard? Half a month ago, Jin Ming defeated another Transcendent Realm martial artist. His defensive cultivation technique is terrifying."

"Of course, I’ve heard. An Inner Sect Elder wanted to make an exception and bring him into the Inner Sect, but he seems to be in no rush. I wonder what he’s up to."

"You don’t get it. The resources that the top three in the Outer Sect get are probably more than those of the lowest ranking Inner Sect Disciples. That’s the advantage. It’s better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond."

Jin Ming’s strength had grown even stronger than it was half a month ago.

Ling Xiao felt his own blood boiling with excitement.

Only a battle where the opponents were evenly matched could excite him so much.

As for the other three, he hardly considered them worth a glance.
