Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Crossing a fifteen-meter distance through the air might not seem very impressive on its own.

But put into context, one would realize that the best among the Elite Hall disciples was fourteen and a half meters.

And this record was also created by Ling Fei himself.

In other words, he had surpassed his own record.

At this moment, everyone was stunned; Ling Fei might have been average in other aspects, but his light-work skill was truly the best in the Elite Hall.

"I can't compare with you!"

Ling Yixue's rosy lips parted as she shook her head.

"Senior Yi, you're too modest. My light-work skill may stand out, but that's the only thing that's probably worthy of your attention!"

Ling Fei said with a light chuckle, his voice modest but his face brimming with excitement.

How could he not be delighted to have impressed Ling Yixue?

"Ling Fei, can't you slow down and wait for us brothers?"

"Hahaha, as long as everyone tries hard, they can do it too. Now for the second event."

For the second event, Ling Fei still provided a tremendous visual shock to the onlookers.

He soared eighteen meters high, then landed gracefully and steadily, not only looking dashing but also very stable.

"Now it's your turn, Ling Xiao. The speed comparison requires two people to participate together. You should first complete the previous two events."

After the test of the first two events, Ling Fei looked towards Ling Xiao with a smile and spoke.

At this point, the crowd's gaze finally focused on Ling Xiao, but their looks carried disdain and a bit of sympathy.

As if pitying a beggar at the side of the road.

No one believed that Ling Xiao's lightness skill could surpass Ling Fei's, including the bystanders who were there just for the excitement.

"You don't need to remind me."

Ling Xiao responded with a faint smile and walked to the starting line.

If it was just about lightness skills, he certainly wasn't Ling Fei's match—that was for sure.

However, he had cultivated the Bursting Qi Technique, which could double the effect of his lightness skill in a flash.

Surpassing Ling Fei might not be an issue.

"Humph, just putting on an act!"

Seeing Ling Xiao standing nonchalantly at the starting line, the crowd felt a bit annoyed.

"Begin!"

Right after Yi Xue's voice sounded, Ling Xiao took to the air.

In the beginning, he did not use the Bursting Qi Technique; True Qi should be conserved where possible since there were three events altogether.

He didn't need to be too astonishing; as long as he surpassed Ling Fei, it would suffice.

"Huh? This kid's light-work skill isn't bad. Although it's not as free and easy as Ling Fei's, it's still performed with precision."

Yi Xue frowned slightly; she truly hadn't expected Ling Xiao to master his body movement technique so skillfully in such a short time.

About twelve meters in, Ling Xiao's body began to descend.

"Hahaha, lost, he lost!"

"I told you, he can't compete with Brother Ling Fei!"

"Still, twelve meters is pretty good, at least it's not too embarrassing!"

However, just at that moment, just as everyone thought Ling Xiao was about to hit the ground, his body unexpectedly seemed to be propelled by some force, and he shot forward more than four meters before landing.

The scene went completely silent as if everyone had turned mute.

"Over sixteen meters!"

Yi Xue was the first to exclaim, her eyes shifting from surprise to shock.

What on earth had happened to this Ling Xiao to improve so rapidly?

"I'm not seeing things, am I? It really is over sixteen meters?"

"It's no mistake, but what's with this kid? All of a sudden, he just flew off several meters."

"Cheating!"

Ling Fei suddenly cried out.

"It's not cheating."

Yi Xue shook her head and said, "As a member of the Ling Family, haven't you heard about the Bursting Qi Technique? It's available in the Book Collection Pavilion."

Ling Fei had of course heard of the Bursting Qi Technique, yet secret technique cultivation was always more difficult than normal cultivation techniques, the key being in the incredibly challenging comprehension.

He had never even considered that Ling Xiao might have learned it.

Ling Fei refused to accept it, but was helpless and, trembling with anger, had no choice but to admit defeat.

"The second event, Climbing the Sky Ladder!"

Ling Xiao's movements were never as graceful and elegant as Ling Fei's, but they were very practical.

Just like before, he used the Bursting Qi Technique at the moment he felt he was about to fall.

Approximately twelve meters in height.

He still shot up to twenty meters.

"The second event, Ling Xiao wins!"

Both Crossing the Air in the Void and Climbing the Sky Ladder, he had actually won them all!

This was simply a case of eyeballs dropping to the floor; no one dared to say Ling Xiao's light-work skill was weak anymore.

Although his light-work might look a bit ugly, it was far from being weak.

"Shall we bother with the third event, Brother Ling Fei?"

Ling Xiao looked at Ling Fei, whose face had turned the color of a pig's liver, and asked indifferently.

"Compete! Why not compete! In body movement technique, it's all about speed!"

Ling Fei's words were practically bellowed out.

"Really, I had thought to give you face, but now let's just wrap this up, why bother?"

Ling Xiao said.

"Stop pretending to be the good guy; I don't believe you can win the third event!"

Ling Fei was certain that Ling Xiao's true qi must be completely depleted by now, absolutely unable to sustain the third event of the competition.

If he could easily defeat Ling Xiao in the third event, then even if he lost the competition, he could still save quite a bit of face, and even take the opportunity to humiliate Ling Xiao.

"But there should be some stakes, should there not? I've already won; there's no need to continue wasting time with you."

Ling Xiao had originally invited a doctor to come and treat his grandfather's injuries, and now, instead of entering the residence, they had been blocked here for nearly half an hour.

If he didn't gain something out of it, he really did not want to continue the competition.

"I promise you! If you can still win, I will pay for all the silver your grandfather needs for his treatment."

Ling Fei had no choice but to say this, because if Ling Xiao refused to compete, there was no way he could force him; otherwise, he would lose even more face today.

"No need for that, I have silver."

If it had been before, Ling Xiao might have agreed to such conditions, but now, he really didn't care for it.

"Then what do you want?" Ling Fei roared.

"A Breakthrough Pill!"

Ling Xiao planned to at least make it to the Martial Veins Third Layer during the annual competition, and the Breakthrough Pill was essential for that.

"Isn't that a bit too much!"

"Yes, such a high demand, who would use a Breakthrough Pill as a bet!"

"Well, you can't really say that, after all, if Ling Xiao wins two out of three events, he's already won and there's no need to go for the third."

There were still some sensible people; this gave Ling Xiao a sliver of hope for the Ling Family.

"Not willing to give it, are you? Then forget it."

Ling Xiao shrugged his shoulders and was about to signal to the doctor to leave.

"Fine! I agree!"

Ling Fei shouted.

"Brother Ling Fei, don't be impulsive!"

"Yes, Brother Ling Fei, it's not worth it!"

"Do you all not believe in me either?" Ling Fei's face grew increasingly unsightly, realizing from the discussions of the onlookers that their confidence in him had waned to disbelief; it was clear that he had embarrassed himself quite thoroughly just now.

Therefore, the third event was even more imperative; he had to regain his dignity.

"Senior Yi Xue, please be a witness. The promises of these people are no better than farts; I dare not trust them lightly." Ling Xiao turned to Ling Yixue and spoke.

"Certainly, if he doesn't give it, I'll give it on his behalf."

Ling Yixue had, by now, developed a strong interest in Ling Xiao's body movement technique, so she was actually keen to continue watching as well.
