Previously, General Jiu Yue had only speculated that Ling Xiao was cultivating the "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body" in the Treasure Pavilion.
But Transcendent Martial Arts are extrely difficult to master, and even reaching the Beginner Stage is hard.
Therefore, he didn’t expect Ling Xiao to achieve much in such a short amount of ti.
However, looking at it now, Ling Xiao’s "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body" seed to have reached the Small Success Realm.
Could that be right?
No one could answer him.
On the other side, the huge bear paw fused with Ling Xiao’s palms, and then with a montum that pierced the sky, his palms almost solidified into physical form, confronting that huge blade head-on.
Bang Crack!
The huge bear paw and the giant blade t in mid-air, and then, the blade was actually firmly clamped between his palms.
"To seize a blade barehanded?"
"Can this really be done?"
Boom!
As everyone was discussing, the great bear paw suddenly pulled back forcefully, and the giant blade shattered, sending the genius boy from the Heavenly Ninja Academy flying backward, vomiting blood, unable to get up from the ground.
"Actually, I didn’t need to confront this move head-on at all, because your technique is flashy but useless, good-looking but not effective."
Ling Xiao looked at the genius boy lying on the ground and said indifferently, "The reason I took you head-on was to tell you, to defeat you, three or four moves are sufficient, not even ten moves are needed. I’ve overestimated you."
"You!"
The genius boy had managed to stand up, but hearing Ling Xiao’s words, he couldn’t help but beco furious and another mouthful of blood spurted out, his complexion turning even uglier.
"This battle, Hidden Dragon Camp wins! Hahaha, Ling Xiao, you really made us proud, no, you brought honor to the Town General’s Mansion! You honored the Human Race!"
General Jiu Yue was briefly stunned and then imdiately announced the outco.
"Long live——!"
"Long live Commander Ling——!"
"Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao!"
The next mont, thunderous cheers erupted from the Hidden Dragon Camp, whether they liked Ling Xiao or not, everyone shouted excitedly at this mont.
Because they had long been fed up with this frustration.
At the sa ti, they also realized, it wasn’t that the Heavenly Ninja Academy was too good, but that their own efforts had not been enough.
Look at Ling Xiao, just a newcor who had joined the Hidden Dragon Camp not long ago, yet he was able to achieve today’s accomplishnt with his own abilities.
What excuse did they have to not work hard?
What excuse did they have to bla Heaven and others?
"Gentlen, the items?"
General Jiu Yue smiled as he looked at those three genius boys from the Heavenly Ninja Academy.
"Hmph, a bet’s a bet, we admit our loss, here are two sub-volus of Nearly Transcendent Martial Arts, take them."
The listless boy took out two secret manuals from the Storage Ring and handed them to General Jiu Yue, "But don’t say we didn’t warn you, you better morize the contents quickly, because these two books will self-destruct after a quarter of an hour."
Saying this, he turned to look at Ling Xiao and said coldly, "I admit you are strong, but defeating is nothing special. The next ti you visit the Heavenly Ninja Academy, you’ll face even stronger opponents. Compared to the true geniuses of our academy, you’re still far behind."
After that, he left sowhat embarrassedly, supported by the girl and the chubby boy.
"Ling Xiao, you have a good mory, morize the contents of these two books first, then pass one of them to Ling Yixue."
General Jiu Yue hurriedly handed the two Nearly Transcendent Martial Art manuals to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao nodded and casually flipped through them.
In that instant, copies had already been created in his Mountain and River World.
"Two Internal Cultivation Mind Techniques?"
Ling Xiao frowned and said, "General Jiu Yue, there’s a problem with these two books, the crucial parts have been altered quite a bit."
"That’s quite normal."
General Jiu Yue sighed and said, "Although it’s against the rules to make substantial alterations to secret manuals, making minor changes to a few key areas is permitted. We have done so in the past as well, so whether or not you can cultivate depends on your own ability."
"Understood."
Ling Xiao nodded.
For others, this might have been extrely frustrating, but for him, it was not a problem at all.
With his Mountain and River Martial Soul, deciphering quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts with only a few key modifications was entirely possible.
"Understood? You don’t plan to hand it over to so a Ninth Stage Martial Artist can help you decipher it?"
General Jiu Yue asked puzzledly.
"How long will it take?" Ling Xiao inquired.
"At least a month," General Jiu Yue contemplated and replied.
"Then there’s no need."
Ling Xiao thought to himself that his Mountain and River Martial Soul could probably break it down in a mont’s ti, so it would be faster to do it himself.
"There’s no need? Are you sure?"
"Absolutely positive!"
Upon finishing his statent, Ling Xiao turned and returned to his private courtyard, followed by Ling Yixue and Leng i.
"You two can do as you please. I’m going to interpret this quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts," he said, then entered the Practice Room.
The two sets of quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts he had received from the Heavenly Ninja Academy were the Soul Burning Secret and the Snow Lotus True Scripture.
These two, in terms of category, are both considered Internal Cultivation Mind Techniques but have quite significant differences.
The Snow Lotus True Scripture is actually an advanced version of the Snow Lotus Qi Technique.
It makes sense, after all, as the Snow Lotus Sword Technique is a Transcendent Sword Technique, while the Snow Lotus Qi Technique is rely top-tier Martial Arts and simply not a match.
Likely, the Snow Lotus True Scripture probably has an advanced version as well and belongs to Transcendent Martial Arts.
Nevertheless, obtaining a quasi-Transcendent internal cultivation technique already satisfied Ling Xiao.
Being quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts, they naturally excel over top-tier Martial Arts.
The Snow Lotus True Scripture excels because it can fully transform the foundation cultivated from the Snow Lotus Qi Technique.
In other words, if Ling Xiao were to practice it, he would accomplish twice the result with half the effort.
Not only that, the True Essence cultivated by this set of mind techniques not only has a strong Yin chill attribute but, what’s more frightening, it can also alter the True Essence properties of an opponent.
Sounds like it’s not very useful, doesn’t it?
But it’s not the case.
If an opponent is adept at Fire or Earth attribute True Essence, then their Martial Skills would certainly be compatible with those attributes.
Just imagine, if soone is using a Blazing Palm, but their True Essence turns out to be Yin chill attribute, would the Blazing Palm remain powerful?
Of course, such alteration is gradual; it won’t completely change the opponent’s True Essence in an instant, so the benefit is that it can weaken an opponent’s attack.
If this is combined with the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s ability to Devour True Essence, the opponent is bound to suffer trendously.
The Soul Burning Secret is very interesting; it is known as an Internal Cultivation Mind Technique, but it is more about using Soul Power as if it were True Essence.
Of course, besides the transformation function, it can also increase Soul Power.
This technique is as if tailor-made for Ling Yixue.
Ling Yixue’s level of True Essence is not as high as many others, not even comparable to Martial Artists of the sa realm, because she is of the Soul Clan.
But with the Soul Burning Secret, she won’t need to condense True Essence anymore and can completely switch to using Soul Power as the energy source for her Martial Skills.
Ling Yixue’s Soul Power is incredibly strong; it’s feared that even a Ninth Layer Pinnacle Martial Artist might not match her. If she were to cultivate this Soul Burning Secret, her strength would leap by more than just one grade.
Of course, Ling Xiao could also cultivate the Soul Burning Secret.
