All the other martial arts, apart from "Cloud Dragon Divine Movent" and "Nine Demonic Divine Arts," were basically rendered obsolete.
With Ling Xiao’s advancent to the Transcendent Realm, there was no longer any need for those martial arts.
Although it was with reluctance, as one must continuously strive for higher realms, so things had to be abandoned, so had to be let go—a necessity of progress.
...
The next morning, Ling Xiao retracted his Sword Soul Clone and then exited the cave dwelling.
"Senior Brother Ling, good morning!"
Jian Xing and Lin Feng were already waiting outside, treating him with utmost respect and regard, almost as if he was their leader or, quite simply, their boss.
They must have also heard about the tragic experiences of the Outer Disciples when training with the Inner Sect Disciples.
Whether they would lose face or not depended on Ling Xiao.
After all, although both of them were not lacking in strength, compared to the Inner Sect Disciples, they fell far too short.
After all, even the weakest among the Inner Sect had reached the early stages of the Transcendent Realm First Layer.
Yet, the two of them were only at the level of Half-step Grandmasters.
Both looked at Ling Xiao and felt sowhat astonished.
Ling Xiao was rely a Half-step Grandmaster too, but the air of an unrivaled presence that he exuded was not sothing they could compare to.
Of course, they didn’t know that Ling Xiao’s confidence and composure stemd from his faith in his own strength.
You see, he appeared to be only a Half-step Grandmaster, but in fact, his cultivation level had already reached the early stage of the Transcendent Realm Second Layer.
Of course, such a strong sense of confidence did not derive solely from his cultivation level.
Beyond cultivation, he possessed two even more terrifying trump cards, one of which was the Mountain and River Martial Soul.
He had never really used the Mountain and River Martial Soul in actual combat. It mostly served as an aid for analysis and to detect the flaws in an opponent’s attacks and martial arts.
In the Fulong Mountain Range, he once tried to summon the Mountain and River Martial Soul. The imnsely terrifying aura that burst forth in that instant was enough to shake heaven and earth.
It could even directly devour the Ancient Golden Dragon.
You should know that a single roar from the Ancient Golden Dragon caused a shift in the Mysterious World’s laws, drawing the attention of countless experts from the Mysterious World.
And yet, the aura of the Mountain and River Martial Soul was even more terrifying than that of the Ancient Golden Dragon, to the extent that not even experts of the Cave Heaven Realm noticed its presence.
The other trump card was naturally the power of the "Ancient Golden Dragon."
Under his human form, by drawing on just a sliver of the primordial strength of the Ancient Golden Dragon, his power could increase by about fifty percent.
In the Human-Dragon Form, he could use more of the primordial strength, increasing his power by at least double!
In the Ancient Golden Dragon Form, he could wield an even greater amount of primordial strength, with his power increasing at least tenfold.
However, due to the enormous consumption and the heavy burden on the body, this form could only be maintained for a maximum of ten breaths.
Which was but an instant.
However, as a finishing move, it was naturally the best.
This was not sothing he would use lightly, nor did he need to, unless his life was truly in danger.
After all, once he used the Ancient Golden Dragon Form, word of his revival of the primordial giant beast would leak, and that would bring a lot of trouble.
"Let’s go, we’re heading to the Inner Sect Main Hall!"
Ling Xiao took a deep breath.
Going to the Inner Sect Main Hall as an Outer Disciple always brought a peculiar feeling.
Within the Inner Sect, news about the joint training spread quickly.
In reality, such matters couldn’t be concealed anyway, since it was a common practice within the Moon Hua Sect. Any disciple who was slightly familiar with the Moon Hua Sect would have guessed it.
"Heh, I heard that among those participating in the joint training this ti, there’s one who can kill a martial artist of the Heavenly Man Realm First Layer."
"That’s right, it seems his na is Ling Xiao, and he killed two disciples of the Demonfla Celestial—Xu Ying and Wang Feng."
"What’s the origin of this lad, to be so terrifying?"
This joint training session among the Inner Sect Disciples was dominated by discussions of Ling Xiao.
After all, in the eyes of many Inner Sect Disciples, the Outer Disciples were re ants, and throughout the history of the Moon Hua Sect, although there were instances where a top three Outer Disciple had defeated an Inner Disciple,
there had never been an event where a single person like Ling Xiao killed two Inner Sect Disciples.
Furthermore, even if there were Outer Disciples who had defeated Inner Sect Disciples before, those Inner Sect Disciples were essentially trash that was about to be eliminated.
What’s more, during those battles, the victories were gained by a re move or even half a move.
But what about Ling Xiao?
Rumors had it that he used only two moves to kill two Inner Sect Disciples.
And these two were considered genius-level disciples within the Inner Sect.
In particular, Xu Ying, who had already been accepted as a direct disciple by the Demonfla Celestial, received the sa treatnt as Ming Tian and Leng Hao.
Just like that, he died, no wonder the Demonfla Celestial couldn’t accept it and took it upon himself to kill Ling Xiao.
"Hmph, you only know one side of the story, not the other. Don’t listen to the rampant rumors outside. In fact, as far as I know, the one who really took action and killed Xu Ying and Wang Feng was soone else, and moreover, they were a Heavenly Person Realm Expert."
"Could it be the Guanghan Celestial Venerate? If so, that would make sense."
"Shush, it’s good enough that you know, but you don’t dare to speak recklessly, otherwise, it could lead to the calamity of death."
"Hmph, I knew it. How could a re Outer Disciple easily kill two genius-level Inner Sect Disciples? It turns out there really was so trickery involved."
"Wait until this kid cos to join the training, we’ll need to take ’good’ care of him, hehehe!"
Within the Inner Sect, aside from Zhao Zhi, Lan Yu’er, and Dai Yuling, there was hardly anyone else who liked Ling Xiao.
Perhaps it was because Ling Xiao’s performance in the Outer Sect was too brilliant, or perhaps it was because Ling Xiao had killed the Inner Sect Disciples, Xu Ying and Wang Feng.
Jealousy, envy, displeasure, resentnt...
There were probably all sorts of feelings.
Ling Xiao had not yet arrived at the Inner Sect and naturally would not know about these discussions. He was currently on his way to the Inner Sect Main Hall.
Both Jian Xing and Lin Feng beside him had solemn expressions, filled with worry.
Only he wore a look of happiness, as if there was so amusing event waiting for him to partake in.
Wasn’t participating in the joint training with the Inner Sect Disciples a fun thing?
Of course, he was happy.
...
The Inner Sect Main Hall could also be considered the core area of the entire Moon Hua Sect.
The spiritual Qi here was much more concentrated than at the Outer Sect Hall.
However, the closer they got to the Inner Sect Main Hall, the more they could feel the powerful auras increasing.
It was uncertain whether it was intentional or not, but these powerful auras seed to unanimously assault Ling Xiao, Jian Xing, and Lin Feng.
Even though there was no murderous intent, just pressure,
this was absolutely disastrous for the three Outer Disciples.
It was said that once, there were three Outer Disciples who collapsed on the spot due to this terrifying pressure and chose to commit suicide.
So Disciples even went mad.
Later on, the Moon Hua Sect stipulated that it was forbidden to harm the Outer Disciples who ca for joint training in this manner.
But there were always so people who would do things against the sect rules, relying on having soone to back them up.
All of a sudden, Jian Xing and Lin Feng turned pale, and their legs seed to be filled with lead, almost unable to take a step.
Sweat poured from their foreheads, as if they had been stricken with a severe illness.
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, then raised his hand.
A warm breath instantly enveloped the two companions beside him.
