Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Astonishing Defense_1

Ling Yixue finally counterattacked.

With a clap of her palms, the air instantly froze, and ice flowers formed on Ling Tieshou’s body.

Ling Tieshou, shocked and pale, hurriedly retreated.

However, it was to little avail, as Ling Yixue’s body movement technique, though not as good as Ling Xiao’s, was still better than Ling Tieshou’s, and she managed to imprint her palm on his chest.

Ling Tieshou’s upper body instantly froze over.

"Ling Yixue wins!"

The judge promptly delivered the verdict, which was already quite clear.

Hearing the judge’s voice, Ling Yixue retracted her delicate hand, and the layer of ice shattered instantly.

Ling Tieshou had a cold sweat streaming down his back as he looked at Ling Yixue in terror, "I am no match for you!"

He knew very well in his heart that if Ling Yixue had attacked with full force from the beginning, he probably wouldn’t have lasted even three moves.

"Senior Yi Xue’s strength is too strong. The fourth-ranked Ling Tieshou was defeated so easily!"

The masters of the Elite Hall were all visibly surprised.

They knew Ling Yixue was formidable, but they hadn’t expected her to be this formidable.

They also clearly remembered that a month ago, Ling Yixue had sparred with Ling Tieshou.

Although she had won at that time, it was a narrow victory.

But today, she won so effortlessly and comfortably.

"I’m afraid within the Elite Hall, only Ling Yihang and Ling Feng are qualified to compete with Ling Yixue."

"No, Ling Yixue is definitely no match for Ling Yihang, that monster has already broken through to the Martial Vein Quadruple Layer. It’s only Ling Feng who can compare with Ling Yixue."

No matter what, at this moment, the top three of the Elite Hall remained the top three of the Elite Hall.

Up to now, Ling Yihang, Ling Yixue, and Ling Feng were all undefeated, without anyone able to challenge their positions.

These three naturally became the focus of everyone’s attention.

And whether they could challenge the dominion of the Genius Hall was also up to these three.

As for Ling Xiao.

Although he performed well, in most people’s eyes, he still couldn’t compare to the top three.

After watching the match between Ling Yixue and Ling Tieshou, Ling Xiao also returned to the Martial Arts Platform.

Because he was to face his next opponent.

He was a comparatively strong opponent.

This person was Ling Cheng, who, after losing to Ling Feng, had dropped from his original ranking to fifth.

Even so, he still stood out among the top ten of the Elite Hall.

What was most fearsome about him was his horizontal training martial arts; if you couldn’t break his defense, then prepare to be abused by him.

Up until now, Ling Cheng had only lost two matches; one to Ling Yihang and the other to Ling Yixue, both of which were forfeits.

And since he had not yet encountered Ling Feng and Ling Tieshou, this record was quite impressive.

"Ling Xiao, you might as well forfeit. I don’t want to waste my energy on you; I need to save my True Qi to deal with Ling Feng!"

Ling Cheng had lost to Ling Feng once before, so he had always wanted revenge.

He didn’t take Ling Xiao seriously at all; his eyes were only on Ling Feng.

Below the stage, those who didn’t like Ling Xiao were somewhat gloating.

Acting all high and mighty, now you’ve met your match!

To be fair, their gloating wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

After all, up to this point, the strongest opponent Ling Xiao had faced was Ling Cheng.

"Don’t worry, Senior Ling Cheng, I will defeat Ling Feng for you!" Ling Xiao said indifferently.

"You arrogant brat! Ling Feng is not someone you can defeat! How shameless, since that’s the case, I will beat you in three moves to avoid wasting energy."

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "I’ve heard that Senior Ling Cheng’s horizontal training martial arts are quite good; my ’Barbaric Bull Strength’ can be used as horizontal training martial arts too. Why not try going three moves with me, Senior? If I lose, I will forfeit on my own."

This was a tit for tat response.

You look down on me; I look down on you as well.

"You!"

Ling Cheng was so infuriated that his teeth itched—he had always held himself in high regard and never expected every Tom, Dick, or Harry to dare look down on him.

"This is you asking for it, don’t blame me!"

Ling Xiao said nothing more, standing there and displaying the foundational martial arts of Barbaric Bull Strength.

But this time, it was not for offense, but for defense.

True Qi clung to the surface of his body, forming a membrane almost visible to the naked eye.

Thin though this membrane seemed, its defense was remarkably astounding.

"This kid has truly brought ’Barbaric Bull Strength’ to life!"

An elder on the referee’s seat exclaimed, "To use ’Barbaric Bull Strength’ for defense, one probably could only do so after entering the Transcendental Realm. I’m afraid he is the only one from the Ling Family who can manage that."

"Hmph, trying to mystify with tricks!"

Ling Cheng’s fists clenched tightly, wrapped with a layer of golden True Qi, making his fists seem as if they were cast from gold.

That terrifying power was definitely not inferior to an attack with weapons.

"What tremendous strength!"

"Yes, that must be the advanced fist technique ’Vajra Fist,’ combined with the horizontal training martial art ’Vajra Technique,’ the power is even greater!"

"Heh, everyone knows about Ling Cheng’s amazing defense, but what many don’t realize is that he is the only genius who can use horizontal training martial arts offensively. Even Ling Feng and Ling Yixue wouldn’t dare to take his attacks head-on."

"Ling Xiao is being too arrogant!"

The discussions among the audience said it all—no one was optimistic about Ling Xiao, feeling that his successive wins had made him arrogant.

His opponents weren’t much to speak of before, but now he was facing the fifth ranked of the Elite Hall, Ling Cheng, and still dared to act this way, which was practically seeking death.

Hearing what people were saying, Ling Xiao merely smiled lightly.

He had already fully analyzed Ling Cheng’s level with his Mountain and River Martial Soul; in fact, Cheng wasn’t much stronger than the second-ranked Ling Ziran.

Both were at the Martial Meridian Third Layer Pinnacle and both used Advanced Martial Arts.

The differences lay only in the power of the moves and battle techniques.

Actually, aside from the top three in the Elite Hall, Ling Xiao felt that those ranked behind could potentially challenge each other.

Boom—!

Ling Cheng’s fists hammered directly onto Ling Xiao’s body, producing a thunderous noise that made the entire Martial Arts Platform quake.

Yet shockingly, Ling Xiao still maintained a smile, not even a wrinkle of distress on his brow.

"No way, is the defense from ’Barbaric Bull Strength’ that horrific?"

Ling Cheng was utterly shocked, as if a herd of ten thousand oxen had trampled through his mind, completely baffled.

With just one exchange, the disparity between the two was evident.

One stood unmoved, while the attacker, Ling Cheng, was actually shaken to the point of retreating two steps before steadying himself.

The audience below was similarly flabbergasted, their minds churning like tempestuous waves.

Frankly, before Ling Xiao, no one had taken the foundational martial art, ’Barbaric Bull Strength,’ seriously.

They treated it as nothing more than a stepping stone, discarding it as soon as they learned more advanced martial arts.

Who could have imagined that in the hands of Ling Xiao, ’Barbaric Bull Strength’ could become so terrifyingly powerful?

Ling Cheng steadied himself, staring at Ling Xiao with fearful eyes. What a monster!

This guy’s defense was utterly impenetrable!

Ling Xiao just smiled lightly, still standing there without any intention to strike back.

The analysis by the Mountain and River Martial Soul had led to the conclusion that the defense from ’Barbaric Bull Strength,’ even at the Transcendental Realm level, was indestructible unless faced with a Martial Vein Third Layer Peak martial artist who did not use Gang Qi.

And this was only the defense from ’Barbaric Bull Strength.’

Ling Xiao hadn’t even resorted to using the Ox Demon Technique: Barbaric Ox Transformation after his advancement.

Not to mention, he had the Bull Demon Technique: Explosive Qi Art to couple with it.

Additionally, he hadn’t even begun to use Gang Qi up until now.

It was hard to imagine who would be able to push him to display all his abilities.

Could Ling Yihang do it?

Or perhaps the top ten members of Genius Hall?
