Chapter 87: Practicing a Killing Move
Ling Xiaos injury gradually healed. With healing medicines he had exchanged from the Medicine Hall and the powerful recovery of <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>s sixth transformation, normal wounds healed quite easily.
In this fashion, he competed with his Martial Soul Clone in the training room.
With every battle, his understanding of that terrifying finger grew.
When his understanding accumulated to a certain level, he stopped fighting, sat down cross-legged, and began to comprehend that terrifying finger move.
In the end, he was not trying to crack that finger but rather learn from it.
Currently, that blue-robed womans casual finger was too mysterious and far exceeded all the advanced martial skills he had previously learned.
But after repeating this process, with the Landscape Martial Souls Analyze and Deduction Ability and Ling Xiaos own remarkable talent, he had a comparatively large gain in a single night.
His so-called comparatively large gain mirrored roughly 10% of that blue-robed womans terrifying finger.
Even like that, this finger already matched small success peak martial skills.
When he completely comprehended it, how terrifying would it be?
Ling Xiao was ecstatic.
Those injuries he had suffered had definitely not been in vain.
Now, dozens of small and big holes penetrated his body. Although most had stopped bleeding, they still marred his form.
As for his clothes, they were already tattered.
Compared to his gains, they were nothing.
You are so powerful! I will give you a straightforward name fitting your might: A Terrifying Finger!
Ling Xiao didnt think much about it. He chose a tacky name because this finger move gave him one feeling
Terror!
Such being the case, why shouldnt he name it A Terrifying Finger?
Ive barely comprehended it, but I want to test this move!
He suddenly smiled and looked at the Martial Soul Clone. You have been bullying me for a while. Now, its my turn to bully you. Stand still, and dont move!
Ling Xiao mischievously smiled and pointed his finger.
Gang qi invisible to the naked eye turned into a blade-like aura and shot forward.
Puchi!
A hole appeared in the Martial Soul Clones shoulder.
Hahaha, its truly amazing! Merely, my control is not enough. Okay, you can move and even attack me, but you cant use this move.
If he only practiced attacking fixed targets, he wouldnt truly feel the terrifying aspect of this move.
This finger was terrifying in two aspects: its great power and amazing speed!
After continuously using A Terrifying Finger ten times, Ling Xiao discovered something.
Although it consumed some gang qi, it wasnt much.
However, this was not a good thing. Since it consumed relatively little qi, it naturally consumed something else.
A Terrifying Finger unexpectedly consumed soul power!
Every time he used A Terrifying Finger, his soul would make a movement.
With his current soul power, he could at most use this move ten times.
Its even more essential to improve my soul power now. I wonder if the third floor of the Library Pavilion has some peak secret techniques to cultivate my soul.
Thinking of this, he was already impatient.
He directly stopped cultivating and left the training room. Rushing to his room, he changed into new clothes and prepared to go to the Library Pavilion.
However, he was dumbfounded upon walking into his courtyard.
A person knelt there.
It was a pretty woman .
Ling Yu, what are you doing?
Ling Xiao frowned at this kneeling girl.
Ling Yu knelt with tear stains on her cheeks while crying like a weeping beauty. Her current appearance truly made people desire to protect her.
But that was other people.
Ling Xiaos heart was already dead for this woman.
If bullying the beggars in the past had been her being naughty and mischievous, abandoning him at his most difficult time had truly disappointed him.
Fortunately, he hadnt fallen in love with this woman; therefore, he didnt feel any sadness.
He only felt pure disappointment.
Ling Xiao! Now, I understand my heart. In fact, I liked you when you were still a beggar. At that time, I bullied you because I liked you.
Ling Yu looked at Ling Xiao and asked: Havent you heard that harsh words and deeds demonstrate one's love?
Ling Xiao felt only disgust. Taking a deep breath, he said: Dont mention the past. We dont have any relationship. I will not bear grudges for what you did to me before. Merely, in this life, we are doomed to just be strangers.
Ling Xiao, are you truly unwilling to give me a chance? I truly, truly like you very much. I was only with Ling Feng to stimulate you. I wanted you to become stronger!
Ling Yu burst into tears again.
This woman was truly shameless.
Ling Xiao coldly looked at her and reiterated, Ive already said that there is no chance of anything between you and me. Leave, and dont say words that will make people look down on you again. If you had obediently stayed beside Ling Fei, I might have thought more highly of you.
Ling Yu fell to the ground.
During the elimination rounds, she had plotted how to kill him.
Merely, after seeing him unexpectedly defeat Ling Feifan in the finals, her heart had been immediately swayed.
She had imagined that when she chased this silly boy with her charm, wouldnt he kneel and lick her feet?
Now, she was disappointed.
Ling Xiaos decisiveness and straightforwardness made her lose all hope.
Ling Xiao!
Junior Apprentice Brother!
Suddenly, two voices rang outside, and his irritated mood immediately improved.
Ling Yihang and Ling Yixue had arrived.
When Ling Yu saw Ling Yixue, she finally understood something.
Outside the Ling Clan, she had been a proud little princess. Others had followed her whims and protected her.
However, after coming to the Ling Clan, she had fallen from being a beautiful white swan to an ugly duckling that nobody cared about.
Thus, she had given up on working hard and attached herself to men like Ling Feng by relying on her beauty.
However, Ling Yixue who had similarly been treated like an ugly duckling had chosen a completely different path.
Ling Yixue had neither relied nor fawned on anyone. She had diligently worked hard, forgetting her beauty and charm as a woman.
Therefore, their paths had forked.
Ling Yu had become an article attached to others, unable to improve her strength.
Meanwhile, Ling Yixue got more and more powerful as her position rose higher and higher. She relied on her own strength to become a true white swan.
In fact, although Ling Yus aptitude was not as good as Ling Yixues, it was not much worse. This could be seen from her ability to learn Soul-Stirring Technique.
If she had worked hard like Ling Yixue, she absolutely wouldnt have suffered this outcome today.
It was a pity!
Until now, she hadnt realized her mistake.
She had only been crazily jealous of Ling Yixue. Why could she receive Ling Xiaos smile and his care?
Why couldnt she?
Gritting her teeth, she turned and ran out of Ling Xiaos residence.
Isnt that woman together with Ling Feng? Why did she come look for you? Ling Yihang asked in confusion.
Its nothing. Anyway, why did you two come look for me? Ling Xiao was too lazy to talk about Ling Yu.
