Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Really a Monster!_1

"What are you up to, kid? Your master had just closed his eyes."

Yuan Venerate felt helpless. Couldn’t his disciple see that people needed rest?

"Master, you can’t blame me for this. You said to wake you up as soon as I formed the first air sword."

Ling Xiao said with a sense of grievance.

"What nonsense!"

Yuan Venerate leaped to his feet.

"Could it be that your master has slept for an entire shichen?"

"No, Master, you’ve slept for less than a moment," Ling Xiao replied. "Because I have previously cultivated Gold-top Level Martial Arts, I have some experience in this area, so my progress was swift."

"You little rascal are indeed a monster!"

Yuan Venerate couldn’t help but smile wryly, feeling a small sense of loss, "Alright, now that you have mastered the first air sword, go ahead and demonstrate it for your master."

"Yes, Master!"

Upon saying that, Ling Xiao slowly closed his eyes. Since he had just begun to understand, it was clear that his grasp of the Nine Veins Qi Sword was still not fluent and needed a longer time to condense the air sword.

On the silent wilderness, only the sound of a campfire and insects remained.

About ten breaths later, Ling Xiao’s eyes suddenly opened, and then a finger pointed at a towering tree in front of him.

"Nine Channels Air Sword!"

"Whoosh!"

"Pfft!"

An almost completely transparent air sword shot out from his fingertip, instantly extending nearly ten meters away.

The towering tree was easily pierced as if it were tofu, leaving behind a sharp penetrating sword mark.

"Hum!"

Instantly after, an odd sound emerged. The originally not so large sword mark suddenly cracked open into dozens of lines around it.

"Crack!"

The towering giant tree that would take more than ten people to encircle began to sway, ready to fall.

"What just happened there?"

Yuan Venerate, in shock, asked Ling Xiao.

Because the Nine Channels Air Sword could only cause the former effect, not the latter.

"I fused Soul Power into it, resulting in this special effect."

Ling Xiao scratched his head and said.

"Ah, what should I say about you? Should I call you a genius, or should I say you are some freak of nature!"

Yuan Venerate smiled wryly, "Although there’s still some rawness in your process of condensing the air sword, no matter, continue to train, and you’ll soon be able to use it proficiently. Next, try to use it as if it were a real sword."

"Yes!"

Ling Xiao condensed the air sword again, this time significantly smoother than before, leaving Yuan Venerate utterly astounded.

He had seen many geniuses, but he had never encountered one like Ling Xiao.

"Done!"

This time, it only took a moment for Ling Xiao to successfully condense the air sword.

"Cut that tree down!"

Yuan Venerate pointed to the large tree that was already teetering and spoke.

Ling Xiao nodded his head, controlled the Sword Qi within a range of four to five meters, and then lightly flicked his right hand. Basic sword techniques were executed and the Sword Qi, like a Divine Weapon, cut the towering tree cleanly in half.

"Good! The teacher leads the way to the door, but cultivation depends on the individual. Your comprehension skills are truly excellent, my boy. There’s really nothing for me to criticize. Just continue cultivating like this, and you will certainly carry the ’Nine Channels Air Sword’ forward and expand upon it."

Yuan Venerate had intended to check for any deficiencies in Ling Xiao’s techniques and then offer some advice, but after watching his practice, he decided to drop the idea.

This fellow was simply a paragon of self-taught mastery. Not only did he grasp the ’Nine Channels Air Sword’ exceptionally well, but most outrageous was his ability to extrapolate and integrate, even invent new methods of use.

It seemed that he, as a teacher, had truly stumbled upon a treasure.

But why did he feel so helpless?

"Master, can the Sword Qi be used this way too?"

Just as he was thinking, Yuan Venerate witnessed another astonishingscene.

Ling Xiao actually made the originally straight Sword Qi turn into a flexible sword, like a whip, piercing from behind while seemingly stabbing forward.

This too was not mentioned in the original technique.

"Master, can the Sword Qi be used like this?"

Ling Xiao had invented a new way to use it.

The Sword Qi completely enveloped his right fist, seeming as though he had put on a special type of gauntlet.

All of a sudden, the Sword Qi turned into a defensive martial skill!

Once one path was clear, all paths were clear.

Ling Xiao continued to transform that single thread of Sword Qi into various shapes.

At times it became a shield, at other times it morphed into a wild beast, and sometimes it even became a beautiful flower, cheering up the ladies.

Although many of these variations weren’t very practical in combat, some ideas were downright ingenious and would be marvelous if applied to actual fighting.

"It seems there’s no need for me to worry about your martial skills insight. The key now is to increase your cultivation level and True Essence. When we enter deeper into the Fulong Mountain Range, I will find a way to help you seek out some rare materials for crafting Spirit Pills."

Yuan Venerate had now realized that in terms of martial skills comprehension, Ling Xiao was the most exceptional he had seen; there was no need to worry at all. The real key was the advancement of his cultivation.

"Regarding cultivation, although you have remarkable talent, the aid of appropriate pills is essential. Meanwhile, continue to strengthen your own Alchemy Technique."

"I suppose within the Sect, those core disciples as well as geniuses like Leng Hao and Ming Tian, must have received quite a number of pills provided by their masters, right?"

Ling Xiao pondered aloud.

"That’s natural. However, at most, they would just go to Old Yang to have pills crafted. But don’t forget, Old Yang’s Alchemy Technique was also taught by me. With his abilities, it would be good if he learned a fraction of what I taught him."

Yuan Venerate said confidently, "Although my strength has not yet recovered, if we talk purely about Alchemy Technique and the Method of Array Refinement, in the Mysterious World, I doubt there are more than ten people who could match me."

As he spoke, an inherent pride that stemmed from past glory radiated from him.

Ling Xiao did not know much about Yuan Venerate’s past, but he firmly believed that his master was not boasting without merit.

Some kinds of pride cannot be faked.

Truth be told, he was becoming more and more curious about his master’s identity, but whenever he had asked before, his master had simply said that he would find out in the future and then dropped the topic.

"Also, from now on, keep this Array Refining Stone on you at all times. No matter what you do, do not take it off until the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony starts."

Suddenly, Yuan Venerate flicked his claw and took out an Array Refining Stone from the Storage Ring hanging around his neck.

This Array Refining Stone was purple-black in color, with many strange inscriptions and patterns on it; it was clear that it had been infused with some sort of Magic Array.

Ling Xiao reached for the Array Refining Stone but unexpectedly felt his arms sink down, and his heart was shocked; this small Array Refining Stone actually weighed nearly two thousand pounds.

The marvel of Array Refinement lay in its capacity to achieve various effects through different materials.

And the Array Refining Stone was just a medium, a medium to store Array Formations or Magic Arrays.
