Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul

Chapter 75: Intense Challenge

Chapter 75: Intense Challenge

For her first chance, Ling Yixue challenged the tenth ranker and won relatively easily.

Although they were both Mid Rank Four Martial Vein martial artists, Ling Yixues combat skills were a notch better.

In the second challenge, she actually won against the ninth place.

However, this win had been quite a near thing, and she had seriously consumed her resources. Therefore, she reserved her remaining three challenges for the next round.

Now, she needed to recover.

According to the rules, after each challenge, you would have a break for 15 minutes, during which no one could challenge you.

This was to protect talented disciples.

Otherwise, continuous battles would be very troublesome and not fair.

Ling Yixue threw a few ordinary qi-gathering pills into her mouth. Their effects were much worse than gang qi pills, but they could recover her internal energy.

After her challenges, the three more people were challenged, but none challenged Ling Xiao. 

Because no one knew the full extent of his strength, they didnt dare to recklessly challenge him. Those disciples of the Genius Hall only challenged opponents they were familiar with.

After these three people challenged, it was finally Ling Xiaos turn.

Ling Xiao, chose the target of your first challenge!

The judge reminded him.

Ling Xiao nodded and examined the ten people sitting in the front row.

His goal was to steal first, but there was no need to take the rank one so quickly. Otherwise, many people would be dissatisfied and challenge him in succession.

Therefore, he planned to enter the top ten first. In any case, he had five chances. As long as he left one chance to challenge Ling Feifan at the end, it would be enough.

Tenth place.

Ling Yixue was ninth, so he chose tenth place first, which was neither high nor low.

Many people wanted to see his true strength, but the tenth ranking disciple was not sufficient for him to use his true skills.

After standing on the stage, he used a single punch bolstered by <Barbarian Bull Strength>. However, the other party fared much better than Ling Ji because Ling Xiao held back.

How powerful is this Ling Xiao? He easily won tenth place. Perhaps, he might truly shake Ling Feifans place!

Fool, the most powerful people of the Genius Hall are the top five. Hes only won tenth place. I think Ling Zhan can easily defeat him. Senior Apprentice Brother Feifan wont need to make a move!

Who knows until the end?

While they argued, Ling Xiao had already taken a seat beside Ling Yixue.

Ling Xiao, it seems your combat power is not limited to Peak Rank Four Martial Vein.

Ling Yixue lowered her voice and commented.

Yes.

Ling Xiao smiled without denying it.

It was fine to admit it. In any case, none of his true hidden trumps had been exposed.

I wont continue to challenge anyone.

Ling Xiao only issued one challenge. He wanted to leave his remaining chances to challenge the top three.

Naturally, he might also fight Ling Yihang.

Last time had not been enjoyable. Although he had won, it could only be regarded as Ling Yihang underestimating the enemy, not him being strong.

Therefore, he wanted to honestly defeat Ling Yihang to untie this knot.

Four chances would be enough.

He wanted to watch those people in front take action. The top three were not good to provoke. Although he was confident about defeating them, he didnt dare to underestimate them.

If by chance he made the same mistake as Ling Yihang in the elimination rounds, that would be too foolish.

Ling Yun, dont you want to avenge your younger brother Ling Feng? Im afraid that youll have no chance.

Suddenly, Ling Feifan meaningfully glanced at Ling Yun.

Why do you say that?

Because he clearly stated that he wouldnt further challenge up the rankings, and you cant challenge in the opposite direction unless you intentionally lose to a lower ranked disciple.

Ling Feifan indifferently explained.

You dont need to incite me. Even if I take the initiative to lose, so what? In any case, I can easily get it back.

Ling Yun stared at Ling Feifan and said, You should be prepared for my challenge.

You are not my opponent.

Ling Feifan confidently replied.

Thats not necessarily the case!

Is that so?

While the top two disciples chatted, the challenges continued.

From the 14th rank and upward, the battles became more and more exciting because the higher the rank, the more powerful the martial artists.

However, from beginning to end, no one challenged the top six people or Ling Xiao.

Ling Yixue was challenged twice.

But both opponents were defeated.

After a challenge, one could rest for 15 minutes. However, after such a short time, recovering so much was pretty impressive. Ling Yixue must have cultivated a secret recovery technique.

The flames of war quickly spread to the top six.

Ling Feifan, Ling Yun, Ling Shuang, Ling Zhan, Ling Xiaopeng, and Ling Yihang!

I challenge the fourth ranked Ling Zhan!

Ling Yihang looked at Ling Zhan with confidence.

Ling Xiao had some impression of Ling Zhan who had appeared during the elimination rounds.

At that time, he had already been a Peak Rank Four Martial Vein martial artist.

Although he hadnt made a breakthrough, it would not be easy to threaten him.

Hahaha, oh Ling Yihang boy, you actually dare to challenge me? Do you feel that it is easy to deal with me, the fourth ranker?

No, no one in the top four is an easy opponent.

Ling Yihang seriously replied.

He didnt dare to look down on Ling Zhan; he had chosen Ling Zhan since he had the worst movement technique among the top five.

Ling Yihangs own movement technique was not formidable, but it was better than Ling Zhans.

Good, in any case, my hands are itchy, so Ill play with you.

Ling Zhan jumped onto the martial stage, and his aura instantly changed.

This fellow also specialized in defensive martial arts. As his terrifying aura spread, Ling Yihang couldnt help but frown.

This match could be said to be the most exciting fight since the start of the competition.

It lasted for an entire hour before the judges ultimately gave their judgment: Ling Yihang won by a small margin.

Humph, you won, but Im not convinced. Ill naturally challenge you later.

Ling Zhans fighting spirit was at an all time high. He was not very convinced with the judges decision, but he didnt dare to oppose it.

In any case, he could always challenge Ling Yihang later; it was not a big deal.

But someone else would have first claim.

The fifth ranked Ling Xiaopeng was Ling Dapengs younger brother, who Ling Yihang had previously defeated. Naturally, the younger brother was not convinced by his elder brothers defeat.

Therefore, after 15 minutes, he directly challenged Ling Yihang.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiaopengs challenge directly forced out Ling Yihangs greatest hidden trump card.

This fellow was unexpectedly a blade master!

In his previous battles, he had never used a blade. Once this blade left its sheath, Ling Xiaopeng directly admitted defeat. That blade had honestly been too frightening, too stunning!

Therefore, the fifth ranker Ling Xiaopeng immediately lost his challenge.

Next was the third ranker Ling Shuangs turn.

As for the former fourth ranked Ling Zhan. After being defeated by Ling Yihang, he had lost his rank and was currently rankless. He could only regain his ranking after the next round of challenges.

There is nothing I can do. Ling Yun, I can only challenge you.

Ling Shuang didnt forfeit although she was well aware that her chances of victory against either Ling Feifan or Ling Yin were less than 20%.

She still intended to try. In any case, even if she failed, her ranking wouldnt fall.

As for why she had chosen Ling Yun, it was simple: she at least knew his cultivation realm.

Against Ling Feifan, she couldnt raise even the slightest bit of fighting spirit.

Oh? Are you suggesting that Im not as good as Ling Feifan?

Ling Yun sneered. Since you view it like this, I must let you know that casually challenging me is courting disaster.

Originally, Ling Yun had intended to deliberately lose and challenge Ling Xiao the next round.

However, his strong ego erupted at this moment.

What elder brother!

What elder brothers enemy!

Being looked down on was the most uncomfortable thing!

Therefore, he had to defeat Ling Suang in a clear-cut manner and make her know that she had chosen the wrong target.
