Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul

Chapter 183: Soaring Strength

Chapter 183: Soaring Strength

Although Ling Xiao was not from the Soul Race, he had been born with a powerful soul. Coupled with his Landscape Martial Soul, although his soul power was not on the freakish level of Ling Yixues, it was a lot stronger than most peoples, even those of the Soul Race.

There was a reason Heavenly Ren Academy had chosen these two Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts.

<Snow Lotus True Solution> had the prerequisite of cultivating <Snow Lotus Qi Formula> to the perfection realm, making it useless for most martial artists.

As for <Soul Burning Formula>, it was only useful to martial artists with a powerful soul, so it had little use for most martial artists.

They chose these two Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts to give few benefits to the Hidden Dragon Battalion if they lost.

However, beyond their expectations, those martial arts were very useful to Ling Xiao and Ling Yixue.

Ling Xiao inwardly laughed and used his Landscape Martial Soul to analyze and deduce these two Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts.

As he had expected, he was quickly successful.

He took out a copy of <Soul Burning Formula> from the Landscape World and handed it to Ling Yixue.

As for himself, he used the Quasi-Transcendent Secret Technique <Show Cultivation Secret Technique> to create two clones.

His main body cultivated <Snow Lotus True Solution>, one clone cultivated <Soul Burning Formula>, and the other clone continued to consolidate <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.

Although more clones would increase his cultivation speed, the consumption of his physical strength, soul power, and so on would also increase proportion.

For instance, if a clone could increase his cultivation speed by 70%, then the consumption of his physical strength and soul power would also increase by 70%.

With the foundation of <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>, Ling Xiao cultivated <Snow Lotus True Solution> to the small success realm in an hour.

<Snow Lotus True Solution> had nine layers, and he had already cultivated it to the third layer. Furthermore, the quality of his true essence had increased greatly in addition to becoming more refined.

No matter who saw him cultivating a Quasi-Transcendent Martial Art to the small success realm so easily, their eyes would pop out in surprise.

True essence obtained by cultivating <Snow Lotus True Solution> was called Snow Lotus True Essence.

Although this true essence was far inferior to heavenly dragon true essence, it was still better than ordinary true essence.

After advancing to Martial Master, ones internal energy would transform into true essence, but even true essence had differences in quality.

Since each grade of core law significantly improved ones true essence, martial artists were very impatient to cultivate Quasi-Transcendent Internal Core Laws after advancing to Martial Master.

After all his true essence with the exception of his heavenly dragon true essence changed into snow lotus true essence, Ling Xiaos strength had doubled at minimum.

Now, if he encountered that Heavenly Ren Academys young genius, he wouldnt even need to use <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.

After all, <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> was a Transcendent Martial Art, so it was best to avoid casually using it. 

He believed that no one besides General Ninth Month had noticed that he had used <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> since the others would believe that he had used <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>. After all, these two techniques were a bit too superficially similar.

Afterward, he cultivated another two hours to consolidate <Snow Lotus True Solution>s third layer.

He became more familiar with using snow lotus true essence.

On the other side, <Soul Burning Formula> also entered the first layer, and his soul power improved.

Moreover, he discovered that if he used A Terrifying Finger purely with soul power, then its power would grow even more terrifying.

Now, he was nearly certain that the blue-robed woman he had encountered in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range was related to the Soul Race.

In addition, he made a very interesting discovery: using <Soul Burning Formula>, he could display his martial skills with soul power, and their might would be almost no different from using true essence, but their effects would have a huge difference.

Martial skills using true essence focused on the destruction of the body while martial skills using soul power focused on the destruction of the soul.

He now had two completely different methods to use the same martial skills, which catch an opponent off guard. 

 In addition, Ling Xiao noticed that while cultivating the Transcendent Martial Art <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> and Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts, he actually gained a hint about <Snow Lotus Sword Art>s first style.

He guessed that it was related to <Snow Lotus True Solution> and <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>s transcendent profound meaning.

After his Landscape Martial Soul absorbed <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>s transcendent profound meaning, it gradually deduced <Snow Lotus Sword Art>s transcendent profound meaning.

This was not a simple matter, and he finally comprehended 60-70% of <Snow Lotus Sword Art>s first style Flying Snow.

He guessed that its might wasnt any inferior to a Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts, but it was still not up to the standard of a Transcendent Martial Art.

Nevertheless, he estimated that he would soon fully comprehend the first style.

At that time, Ling Xiao would have one more hidden trump.

After realizing he wouldnt make any more progress, Ling Xiao ended his secluded cultivation and sorted out his current situation.

At present, he had two complete martial souls: Cherry Tree and Black Cloud Martial Soul.

However, he didnt dare to easily use these complete martial souls unless it was a matter of life or death. After all, they would make people very jealous.

He had four incomplete martial souls: Ghost Ship Incomplete Soul, Giant Sword Incomplete Soul, Blood Blade Incomplete Soul, and Black Bear Incomplete Soul.

He had a special use for these four incomplete martial souls.

With the coordination of Ghost Ship Incomplete Soul and Soaring Cloud Steps, his speed was not inferior to someone using a Quasi-Transcendent Movement Technique. Moreover, a lot of true essence would be saved by using incomplete souls to buttress his strength. 

Giant Sword Incomplete Sword could greatly increase the might of sword techniques;

Blood Blade Incomplete Soul could also be coordinated with sword techniques to make them less unpredictable;

Black Bear Incomplete Soul could be coordinated with unarmed combat, greatly increasing his physical strength.

He didnt want to discard any of these four incomplete martial souls at present because they all were very useful. He could use different incomplete souls to match each enemy. 

Moreover, there were several martial arts he cultivated, mainly

A Transcendent Martial Art: <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>;

A Transcendent Martial Art Fragment: <Snow Lotus Sword Art>;

Three Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts: <Soul Burning Formula>, <Snow Lotus True Solution>, and <Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique>;

Peak Martial Arts: <Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique>, <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> (final transformation), and <Black Iron Sweep Sword Controlling Technique> (attack power comparable to Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts);

Outstanding Techniques: <Soaring Cloud Steps> and <Bull Demon Technique> (surpassing Superior Peak Martial Arts but slightly inferior to Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts);

Special Martial Skills: A Terrifying Finger and Geocentric Ice Lotus Binding.

At present, his advanced martial arts couldnt keep up. Although he had used <Meteorite Fist> to defeat Heavenly Ren Academys genius, its strength had actually been derived from <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.

Now, he hoped to obtain a fist or palm technique for use in unarmed fights.

After all, only unarmed fights could display the greatest traits of <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.

He would still practice sword techniques, but he couldnt abandon unarmed techniques any longer.
