Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2323 - 2326: Give Up, Your Cultivation Level Is the Weakest!
"However, Ling Xiao, don’t get too excited too soon. Getting the assessment opportunity is one thing, but I fear there might be something fishy about it."
The brows of the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master furrowed tightly, seemingly worried about Ling Xiao.
"I think the same, so I’ve come this time specifically to persuade you to give up."
Lin Ruoxian stated directly.
"Are you suspecting that the Sha Clan intentionally wants me to take the test?"
Ling Xiao asked with a frown.
"You’re indeed quick to catch on."
The Hei Xianshan Mountain Master said, "You killed Sha Hai, and they can’t openly deal with you. After all, the Eight Immortals Mountain isn’t solely owned by the Sha Clan, and your reputation in the Eight Immortals County City is very high.
They can only handle you in secret.
And the advancement test of the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain is one where people can actually die."
"So what?"
Ling Xiao sneered, "If this is a trick by the Sha Clan, then I should participate all the more, just to make them suffer losses both ways!
They’re trying to use this opportunity to eliminate me, which is why they gave me the qualification to advance.
Then I will just advance and thoroughly infuriate them."
"But Ling Xiao, you have to be clear, given the current situation, your strength among all the contestants isn’t the weakest, but it definitely ranks beyond the top twenty."
Lin Ruoxian said unreservedly, "Do you think just because you defeated Sha Hai, you can ensure advancement to the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain?
That’s impossible.
Sha Hai advanced because of his bloodline.
As for strength, he doesn’t match up to many people in this test."
"Oh? Can you elaborate?"
Ling Xiao asked.
Lin Ruoxian explained, "Let me put it this way, there are a total of a hundred people qualified for this test.
The remaining ninety-nine people’s cultivation levels are all at early First Stage Second Layer Hell or ordinary Second Layer Hell Mid Phase and above.
Your cultivation level is the lowest among the hundred people.
If it weren’t for you defeating Sha Hai and demonstrating your strength, probably no one would object to ranking you last.
Your combat power doesn’t match your cultivation level, which is an unknown.
But even if you can challenge beyond your level, it’s truly impossible to make it into the top twenty; they’re all stronger than Sha Hai unless your cultivation can break through before the test, then perhaps there’s a small chance."
"I see, I got it. When does the test start?"
Ling Xiao asked casually.
"You got it? Don’t you want to ask how many people will advance this time?"
Lin Ruoxian asked somewhat speechlessly.
"Is that important? No matter how many, I can advance."
Ling Xiao said calmly.
"Oh heavens, how can there be someone in the world as overconfident as you?
Let me tell you, there are a hundred people participating in the test, but only three can ultimately enter the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain."
Lin Ruoxian said seriously.
"That probability is still quite high, to select the top three."
Ling Xiao chuckled.
"I really have no words for you, do you know none of those people are easy to deal with, and in the test, life and death are disregarded? If the Sha Clan has arranged special people for your life, you’ll be in great danger."
Lin Ruoxian really couldn’t tell if Ling Xiao was overly resilient or naturally fearless.
Faced with such a powerful array of opponents, he could still remain indifferent, it was simply incomprehensible.
"Steward Ruo Xian, is Sha Mo Yun the strongest among them?"
Ling Xiao abruptly asked.
"Probably, if no dark horse appears, then he and Chi Ling’er are the strongest."
Lin Ruoxian thought for a moment and said.
"Isn’t that so? I’m not afraid of Sha Mo Yun, so what do I have to fear from others."
Ling Xiao chuckled calmly, "Besides, being afraid or not afraid won’t change the result, so why not face it calmly?"
A few words, and Lin Ruoxian was persuaded instead.
"Ruo Xian, I think you should stop trying to persuade him. Once this kid decides on something, not even ten oxen can pull him back. He might not be able to advance, but seeing how his body movement technique is excellent and he’s so cunning, he probably won’t be easily killed."
The Hei Xianshan Mountain Master shook his head with a wry smile.
"You do know me well, Mountain Master!"
Ling Xiao smiled.
Though he showed confidence, he was indeed under great pressure inside.
If he couldn’t break through in cultivation before the test, then advancing is just a pipe dream.
He didn’t want to rashly rely on the power of the Butterfly Girl or Yuan Venerate, for it would be troublesome if discovered.
However, the immense pressure gave him tremendous motivation!
Since the start of the Reincarnation into this world, he’s been continuously facing enemies.
This is also the most real life of martial artists in the Mysterious World.
To continue on the martial arts path, one must continuously defeat various enemies or opponents.
From the Shaw Brothers to the Zhou Brothers, to the Mo Clan, to Sha Hai, and the Demon Shadow Sect.
He always seemed to be dealing with so-called geniuses.
The path he walked wasn’t easy but paved with battles.
Defeating Ling Xiao was not an easy task for others either.
"Forget it, I won’t say anymore. In any case, you should take care of yourself and focus on your cultivation during this time."
Lin Ruoxian sighed, since she couldn’t persuade Ling Xiao to give up, she could only find other ways to ensure Ling Xiao’s safety.
After speaking, she said her goodbyes and left.
The Hei Xianshan Mountain Master also informed Ling Xiao that the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain assessment would take place in ten days.
Meaning, Ling Xiao only had ten days to enhance his strength.
It was indeed urgent.
But cultivation is not something that can breakthrough just because you want to.
The gate to Second Layer Hell was 90% open, missing just the last crucial step, yet it was still impossible to advance.
Even after defeating Sha Hai, it only loosened slightly, with no signs of advancement.
Therefore, Ling Xiao set his mind to calmly handle things that could enhance combat power first.
Like upgrading the levels of the Lightning Battle Form and the Lava Battle Body.
After sending off all guests, Ling Xiao began the fusion of Lei Yuanyu and Magma Elemental Jade again.
He only knew that a Beginner Battle Body required ten pieces of Elemental Jade, an Intermediate Battle Body needed twenty more on top of that.
But how many pieces were needed for an Advanced Battle Body, he wasn’t very clear.
However, Ling Xiao could feel that as the Lei Yuanyu and Magma Elemental Jade continued to fuse, he seemed to be getting closer to an Advanced Battle Body.
Once Advanced Battle Body is achieved, it would equate to cultivating a Jade Grade Advanced Martial Arts to the Transcendental Realm.
That truly was exceptionally formidable.
As of now, he had not encountered any opponents on the Xuanwu Continent who had used Jade Grade Advanced Martial Arts.
This naturally was a huge advantage.
The subsequent fusion took two whole days and nights.
Ling Xiao fused sixty-four pieces of Lei Yuanyu, and also fused thirty-four pieces on the Intermediate Battle Body’s foundation.
Though he experienced terrifying pain during the process, he relied on the powerful recovery effect of the Life Martial Soul and persevered.
