Chapter 2402: Chapter 2405: The Most Difficult Challenge: Ling Xiao, Can You Do It?

Heiye Wuguang continued, "The two geniuses who comprehended martial skills or secret techniques from the Shadow Black Gourd, one is An Ming, who has acquired a set of Jade Level High-Grade Martial Techniques!

This martial skill is nearly at the level of Jade Level Pinnacle Martial Techniques, absolutely the most powerful of Jade Level High-Grade Martial Techniques.

The other one is Heiye Wuzun, this boy obtained a set of Jade High-level Secret Technique.

Also the strongest among Jade High-level Secret Techniques!

Even among high-grade martial skills and high-grade secret techniques, there are five levels: inferior, ordinary, good, excellent, and perfect.

An Ming and Heiye Wuzun received the perfect ones among Jade High-level Secret Techniques!

Does the Clan Leader think anyone among these three can compare to those two geniuses?

Bear in mind that even An Jin didn’t obtain anything from the Shadow Black Gourd."

"Isn’t Ling Xiao a genius? Doesn’t he have a lot of confidence? Isn’t this supposed to be a simple matter for him?"

An Yexing looked at Lingxiao and asked, "What do you say?"

"The Clan Leader is absolutely right! Ling Xiao will surely gain the qualification to interact with the Shadow Black Gourd and comprehend martial skills or secret techniques on par with the two geniuses of the Inner Clan."

Ling Xiao was provoked like that, how could he lower his head?

Moreover, his confidence has grown incredibly strong through numerous life-and-death challenges.

These so-called geniuses of the Eight Immortals Mountain are nothing in his eyes.

Even now, though many in the Dark Clan are more powerful than him.

But in his eyes, the true contemporaries worthy of being called opponents are only four—An Feitian, An Jin, An Ming, and Heiye Wuzun.

"Such arrogant words, just afraid he’ll not even qualify to touch the Shadow Black Gourd in the end."

An Hua sneered, "You must know, the Branch Family Members only have one qualification a year, oh, right, this qualification will be contested in half a month.

There won’t be any special contest; the number one disciple in the Branch Family Members is directly selected.

Do you think you can do it? To become number one in the Branch Family Members within half a month?"

"Why not?"

Ling Xiao looked at An Hua and said, "Maybe all you’ve seen are mediocrities, thinking it’s impossible, but I can make it happen!"

"Bold kid, be arrogant then, you’ll suffer! The people in the Branch Family Members won’t easily give up their ranking.

Among the Branch Family Members of the Dark Clan, there are over a thousand disciples of the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain, you three are currently ranked at the bottom!"

An Hua sneered.

"No need for the Grand Elder to worry about that."

Ling Xiao nodded calmly, then bowed to An Yexing and others and left with Lin Yang and Qing Luan Hua. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Clan Leader, you really bully people, huh? Ling Xiao just joined the Dark Clan, and he’s already trying to obtain the Shadow Black Gourd qualification.

The number one ranking Su Mo of the Branch Family Members won’t agree; that kid’s going to suffer."

Watching Ling Xiao leave, An Hua said with a smirk.

"Sister shouldn’t say that; Ling Xiao is a good kid, just a bit too flamboyant.

This time he luckily injured Fei Tian, and he’s probably even more full of himself. If no one can take him down a notch, I’m afraid he’ll soar up to the sky."

An Yexing spoke in a grandiose manner, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Recently within the Dark Clan’s disciples, especially the Branch Family Members, being beaten to death or beaten to lose confidence and return to their original mountain, these things have happened.

He really disliked Ling Xiao, so he intended to use the hands of those in the Branch Family Members to give Ling Xiao a good beating.

...

Returning to his residence, Ling Xiao parted ways with Lin Yang and Qing Luan Hua.

Next, they’ll have their own cultivation lives.

Though they would often be together, for Ling Xiao, solitary cultivation might be more frequent.

After tidying up the small wooden house, its environment was actually quite good. Though it couldn’t match the Inner Clan’s courtyard, the surrounding scenery was also beautiful.

The problem was having to do chores.

But now, Ling Xiao was too lazy to think about those things. He set up an Array Formation around the small wooden house.

This had almost become his habit.

After all, some things he wanted to cultivate should not be known to others, otherwise it would cause trouble.

Just as he finished setting up, Lin Yang and Qing Luan Hua came looking for him.

"Boss, I heard that even Branch Family Members within the Dark Clan will have the chance to obtain a set of Jade Level High-Grade Martial Techniques, though just inferior quality, it’s still better than Mid-Tier Jade Martial Techniques.

And if you can pass the Branch Family Members’ test, the obtained Jade Level High-Grade Martial Techniques will become good quality, even excellent quality.

Anyway, it’s something not to be missed, let’s go to the Dark Tower in the Dark Clan, it’s the place to collect Jade Level High-Grade Martial Techniques."

Lin Yang said a bunch all in one breath.

However, Ling Xiao understood his meaning.

To put it simply, this was the benefit of joining the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain.

"Being so happy over mere inferior quality high-grade martial techniques? You should know, if you were Inner Clan disciples, you could directly receive good quality Jade Level High-Grade Martial Techniques!

Perform well, and getting excellent quality wouldn’t be difficult."

At some unknown time, Heiye Wuguang appeared outside Ling Xiao’s small wooden house, truly an indomitable spirit.

Every word he spoke was filled with sarcasm, intending to make Ling Xiao understand the advantages of being an Inner Clan disciple.

"Thank you for the reminder, Grand Elder Heiye Wuguang, but unfortunately, we’re just Branch Family Members; we will find a way to obtain better martial skills."

Ling Xiao said respectfully.

Although Heiye Wuguang was really annoying, he was helpful to him, so Ling Xiao treated Heiye Wuguang more kindly compared to An Hua.

"Boy, I know you don’t believe it, but you need to understand, you injured An Feitian, and that kid will likely ascend to the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Fourth Layer of Hell within a month.

At that time, the gap between you will be even greater; without my help, you’ll never catch up to him."

Heiye Wuguang reminded him, "That kid is An Yexing’s son; he’s got the best Cultivation Techniques, countless Treasures.

To put it bluntly, you look like a beggar in front of him.

Though he didn’t comprehend any useful things from the Shadow Black Gourd, An Yexing and An Hua are very fond of him.

So his martial skills, body movement technique, body refining martial skills are also the perfect of Jade Level High-Grade Martial Techniques.

What do you have to compete with him?"

"Gaining so many good things, yet ranked last among the four geniuses; a waste like that, does the Grand Elder really think I should fear?"

Ling Xiao said with disdain.

Listening to Heiye Wuguang’s words, Ling Xiao felt no fear towards An Feitian, instead he despised him more.

Having such favorable conditions, yet only reaching that level, probably spent all those good cultivation times chasing after girls.

"You keep being stubborn, don’t listen to the old man’s advice, suffering will be right in front of you! You’ll regret it!"

Heiye Wuguang said so much, trying to instill fear and helplessness in Ling Xiao, and then offer help.

Unexpectedly, this kid is simply a blockhead, completely ignoring his words.
