Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2322 - 2325: Passing the Screening: The Dangerous Promotion Examination
"And the result?"
Ling Xiao replied disdainfully, "The result is Ling Yan was forced into reincarnation, from the strongest sect leader of Eight Immortals Mountain to a traitor now despised by everyone!
Repay grievances with kindness, and how should kindness be repaid?
To deal with enemies, one must never be merciful and soft-hearted! This is what my personal experience has taught me.
If an enemy is ruthless, you need to be ten times more ruthless than them!
It’s not about being scared because they are ruthless, hiding from them, which will only make them more arrogant."
His words managed to leave the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master speechless.
"Perhaps you are right. Alright, take a good rest; let me know if anything arises. During this time, I won’t be leaving Black Immortal Mountain. I suspect that the Sha Clan may come here to cause trouble."
After saying this, the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master turned and left, still pondering Ling Xiao’s words as he walked.
Meanwhile, the news of Ling Xiao facing off against and defeating Sha Hai, who had just received the Fairy Seal, in the arena of life and death had already spread quickly within Eight Immortals Mountain.
After all, Sha Hai was a disciple of Upper Eight Immortals Mountain, and a disciple possessing the Fairy Seal.
So this news spread far and wide.
It seems Ling Xiao may have already become a figure of great interest within Eight Immortals Mountain, likely with many watching him.
His reputation in Lower Baxian Mountain has already surpassed Cheng Feiying and Chi Ling’er, reaching close to Sha Mo Yun.
Even if he wanted to deliberately hide such developments, it is hardly feasible. Ling Xiao is aware that as a ruler, his eventual fame is inevitable, so he is not afraid of being watched by others.
He simply won’t flaunt it intentionally.
After Hei Xianshan Mountain Master and Feng Ru left, Ling Xiao calmed his mind to cultivate.
Although he knew that he might face tremendous trouble ahead, he killed Sha Hai, and did so in front of countless people.
In any case, the Sha Clan will not let him go.
Fortunately, it happened in the arena of life and death, so he did not break any rules; otherwise, he might have already been surrounded.
"Power! Power! Power!"
Ling Xiao’s desire for strength grew even more urgent.
Killing one Sha Hai did not make Ling Xiao feel at ease.
Sha Hai, after all, was just a disciple who had only recently advanced to Upper Eight Immortals Mountain.
Furthermore, this promotion somewhat related to his status.
Sha Mo Yun’s strength is greater than Sha Hai’s, yet he never received such qualification.
Next, he may have to confront Sha Mo Yun, Sha Diao, or even stronger enemies.
Only if his power surpasses anyone in Eight Immortals Mountain will he have the possibility of being truly safe within Eight Immortals County City.
As he calmed down, Ling Xiao took out Lei Yuanyu to continue the fusion.
The last time, he had managed to fuse up to forty-five pieces.
That had already reached a very difficult point—needing to enter the Martial Soul Transformation State.
So this time, he simply activated the Steel-armored Bull Demon Transformation.
The powerful defense and sudden surge in strength made the fusion of the next Lei Yuanyu much easier.
Forty-six pieces!
Forty-seven pieces!
Forty-eight pieces!
Fifty pieces!
Up until now, after achieving the Intermediate Thunder and Lightning War Body, he had merged twenty pieces of Lei Yuanyu.
However, nothing particularly special occurred; he merely felt the Power of thunder and lightning becoming stronger.
To break through to the Advanced Thunder and Lightning War Body, merely fifty Lei Yuanyu are certainly far from enough; more are needed.
Nevertheless, at this moment, even in the Steel-armored Bull Demon Transformation, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Therefore, he switched and began fusing Magma Elemental Jade.
After fusing twenty pieces of Magma Elemental Jade, very difficult obstacles appeared.
Not only did his body seem to start resisting this force, but it was also extremely painful.
However, this was not Ling Xiao’s limit.
After an Intermediate Battle Body, twenty pieces of Elemental Jade might cause discomfort, but he can still continue fusion.
But just as he intended to proceed with the fusion, Feng Ru joyfully ran in from outside. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
There seemed to be great news.
"Taking a break is good, relaxation and tension are parts of the martial path."
Although Ling Xiao knew he needed to urgently enhance his strength, he would not gamble with his life.
The next fusion might be very challenging, and he had to prepare thoroughly.
Getting his body to optimal condition.
"What happened that made Sister Feng so happy?"
Ling Xiao stepped out of the room and saw the cheerful Feng Ru and asked.
Feng Ru excitedly said, "Of course it’s good news, and not just any good news—it’s tremendous news!"
"Oh? Then I’m all ears."
Ling Xiao smiled.
"Congratulations, you’ve passed the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain review; you can participate in the upcoming promotion test."
Feng Ru was genuinely pleased as she said this, as if it was her own good fortune.
However, Ling Xiao replied calmly, "This matter, I suppose, could be considered good news."
Actually, he wasn’t particularly interested in whether he could advance to Upper Eight Immortals Mountain.
After all, he had just settled in Lower Baxian Mountain and had received support from Hei Xianshan Mountain Master and Rewards Good and Punishes Evil Hall Outer Hall Master Lin Haoyu.
If he wanted to acquire something, it would be even more convenient.
But since the opportunity arose, he wouldn’t miss it either.
At Upper Eight Immortals Mountain, one can get better resources and cultivation conditions.
That Fairy Seal is one of the things he wants; although it was only during the confrontation with Sha Hai that he felt the ominousness of the Fairy Seal.
But Ling Xiao was deeply moved by it.
In that battle, if Sha Hai had been more calm and less desperate to kill him, he might have truly suffered.
Therefore, he must get the Fairy Seal; even if he can’t, he must study it diligently.
For martial artists from the Mysterious World, the Immortal Court Continent is a mysterious and terrifying place.
Countless martial artists work tirelessly just to reach the Immortal Court Continent.
Ling Xiao, although slightly different from them, is similar.
"You, you’re really taking advantage and acting humble. Do you know, many martial artists from Lower Baxian Mountain are sleepless, just to get this qualification for the test."
Feng Ru looked at Ling Xiao with a helpless smile and said, "Originally, to pass the review, one’s cultivation level must at least reach the Hell Early Stage of the First Stage Second Layer Hell, or normal Hell Mid Phase of the Second Layer Hell.
But your recent performance has really been too outstanding.
First, you destroyed the Demon Shadow Sect’s pawns in Eight Immortals County, then defeated Sha Hai in front of the masses.
Think about it, Sha Hai was a disciple of Upper Eight Immortals Mountain; how can they tolerate their disciple being defeated by a disciple from Lower Eight Immortals Mountain?
Therefore, allowing you to join Upper Eight Immortals Mountain is the best decision."
Ling Xiao agreed with Feng Ru’s analysis; this should indeed be the whole story.
Unexpectedly, killing Sha Hai facilitated his opportunity to rise to Upper Eight Immortals Mountain.
If he had known this earlier, he would have dealt with Sha Hai sooner.
"Looks like Feng Ru has already told you everything?"
At this moment, Hei Xianshan Mountain Master and Lin Ruoxian appeared together before Ling Xiao’s room.
It was the Mountain Master who spoke.
