Chapter 90: Ice Glaze Sword
<Condense Soul Formula>s problem is that its not very useful. Human martial artists mainly use gang qi and dont need to deliberately cultivate soul power. However, there is a Soul Race that specializes in it and uses it for all their martial skills.
Uncle Ling Er explained.
So thats how it is. However, if you run into secret techniques like Soul Stirring Technique, which Ling Yu used before, with weak soul power, wouldnt you suffer a big loss? Ill choose these three peak martial arts.
Ling Xiao randomly made an excuse.
Uncle Ling Er said nothing more.
All geniuses had distinctive natures, generally being more persistent than the average, wanting to walk their own path. Other peoples paths might noty be suitable for them.
Lets go register them. Then, you can leave.
Generally, the martial arts available in the Library Pavilion were copies. The originals were hidden in a secret place, so the books could be borrowed.
Merely, they had to be returned in time.
For instance, peak martial arts had to be registered every seven days to prevent someone from taking the books out of the clan. It would be a great loss if they were robbed.
Even Entry Peak Martial Arts were still peak martial arts. If they were lost, it would be an earth-shaking matter for the Ling Clan.
After all, the Ling Clan had only 20 peak martial arts in total.
Ling Xiao followed Uncle Ling Er to the first floor where they saw Ling Xiaotian and Supreme Elder Ling Yin.
Two youths accompanied them.
One was Ling Feifan in a purple robe.
The other was a young man in a white scholar robe who must have been Ling Chen.
Naturally, Ling Yin was Ling Feifans grandfather.
Ling Wuhen, did you forget your duty to guard the Library Pavilion? You actually left the first floor unattended for so long?
Ling Wuhen was Uncle Ling Ers true name.
Ling Yin was overbearing from the moment he arrived; obviously, he had a poor impression of Ling Wuhen.
Supreme Elder please dont blame him. I asked him to help Ling Xiao choose a peak martial art.
Before Ling Wuhen could reply, Ling Xiaotian answered for him.
Humph!
Ling Yins expression soured when he heard those words, but he didnt continue arguing. Ling Xiaotians position was very stable. Even as a Supreme Elder, he couldnt suppress the Patriarch.
Patriarch!
Ling Xiao cupped his hands towards Ling Xiaotian.
Haha, did you choose yet? asked Ling Xiaotian.
Replying to Patriarch, this disciple has already chosen three peak martial arts. I was just about to register them and leave.
Ling Xiao didnt even look at Supreme Elder Ling Yin. He was a man who held his grudges. This Supreme Elder was too shameless and had actually attacked him during the competition.
If he were strong enough, he would have definitely taught this old thing a lesson.
Just in time! You have yet to receive your common grade treasure artifact reward. What do you plan to get? asked Ling Xiaotian.
A sword!
Ling Xiao replied.
Good choice! From antiquity, swords have been supreme and noble, revered by both humans and gods. The ancestor of short weapons! A weapon of close combat, a profound path, one upon which have traveled countless legends! Since ancient times, swords have swept battlefields, dominating the martial arts world to build nations. Benevolent and righteous, this weapon has been handed down to this day. With its glorious history, it is deeply rooted in peoples hearts, enshrining its place in history.
Ling Xiaotian rubbed his beard and said with a smile: The double-edged sword is straight and sharp. It can injure others and stab through armor. Its very dangerous and born to kill people! Choosing a sword means youre prioritizing your attack. It seems that you are also a person who takes the initiative to attack.
After speaking a bit, Ling Xiaotian waved his hand, and a sword appeared in his hand.
This sword is called Ice Glaze Sword, a common grade treasure artifact. Today, I bestow it to you. I hope you can continue improving your skills and bring glory to the Ling Clan!
Many thanks, Patriarch!
Ling Xiao took the Ice Glaze Sword and marveled at the chill it brought to his hand. This sword must have been forged with cold iron and was very suitable to use with his <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>.
Such a good treasure sword it would be better to give it to my younger brother.
Suddenly, Ling Chen spoke.
Furthermore, he actually reached out, attempting to snatch it from Ling Xiaos hand.
Ling Xiao sensed that Ling Chens cultivation was above Rank Six Martial Vein. Moreover, because of the profound mysteries Ling Chen had learned from the fragments of Transcendent Martial Arts, Ling Xiao was not his opponent.
However, if the other party snatched this Ice Glaze Sword so easily, Ling Xiao would lose face.
He stepped on the ground, and his figure quickly retreated. With <Soaring Cloud Steps-Flood Dragon Transformation>, he was lightning fast.
However, Ling Chen was indeed powerful. His movement technique was not inferior to Ling Xiaos. However many steps Ling Xiao retreated, he would advance that many steps.
Enough!
Ling Wuhen yelled and reached out to stop Ling Chen.
Although Ling Chen was an unrivaled genius, his current strength was still inferior to Ling Wuhens.
This seat is guarding the Library Pavilion today and will not tolerate your arbitrary actions!
Haha, Im just joking. There is no need to take offense, Second Uncle.
Ling Chen gave up and smiled at Ling Xiao, saying: Do you really think that you can hide behind my Second Uncle for your lifetime?
Ling Xiao replied, You started cultivation at six. At 13, you just reached Rank Three Martial Vein, spending a full seven years. As for me, going from Rank One to Late Rank Five Martial Vein took me half a month. Now, I am not your opponent, but who knows what will happen in the next few days?
You truly have guts!
Ling Chen sneered. Moving toward the second floor, he left behind his words: Today, Ill enter the fourth floor and comprehend the profound meaning of another incomplete Transcendent Martial Art. Moreover, Ill learn some Rare and even Superior Peak Martial Arts. What do you have to compare with me? Hahaha!
Ling Xiao knew that Ling Chen had said these words to intentionally anger him.
Indeed, they worked, but he quickly calmed down.
People couldnt be too greedy. He already had the Landscape Martial Soul, so there was no need to get angry.
Therefore, in front of Ling Chens provocation, he casually registered his three peak martial arts and left.
In the past, Ling Chong, Ling Feng, Ling Yun, and Ling Feifan, all also looked down on me, but they were defeated by me one by one.
Although you, Ling Chen, are stronger than them, you are also destined to only be my stepping stone.
After leaving the Library Pavilion, Ling Xiao returned home to cultivate.
He first cultivated <Black Iron Sweep Imperial Sword Technique> because he already had <Bull Demon Technique-Hundred Steps Baleful Sword Technique>.
Although similar, one had a higher grade.
Therefore, practicing <Black Iron Sweep Imperial Sword Technique> with the foundations of <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique> would give him twice the results with half the effort.
In just two hours, he succeeded in cultivating the first layer of <Black Iron Sweep Imperial Sword Technique>.
Compared to <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique>, it was far more powerful and could actually create two sword shadows.
Including the flying sword itself, one attack would lead to three swords.
These three sword lights could not only attack multiple targets but also be superimposed to gain greater might. However, a powerful soul power was necessary to control them.
Combining it with <Bull Demon Technique-Condensed Balefulness>, this originally Entry Peak Martial Art rivaled a Rare Peak Martial Art.
Naturally, if he wanted to combine it with <Bull Demon Technique>, he had to cultivate it to the great success realm before having the <Bull Demon Technique-Condensed Balefulness> devour it.
He didnt touch <Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique> for a few days, which would allow him to create clones of himself but required a lot of soul power. Instead, he devoted his mind to cultivate <Black Iron Sweep Imperial Sword Technique> and <Condense Soul Formula>.
