Feng Yinshan and Ling Xiao chatted until they reached Qingxu College. Only then did Feng Yinshan leave in a palanquin.
He could feel that Ling Xiao might become his strongest competitor in the future.
However, it was necessary for him to cooperate with Ling Xiao!
…
Outside the Imperial City, in a seemingly ordinary house.
Very few people outside knew that there was actually a huge cage hidden under this house.
The people inside were all powerful prisoners of war and beasts.
At this moment, a person was standing in a cage.
He was dressed in black armor and had clean and neat short hair. His face was filled with an incomparable domineering and majestic aura.
He was close to two meters tall, and his muscles were bulging all over his body.
In front of him was a giant tiger that was four meters tall and seven to eight meters long.
Roar –!
The giant tiger roared and pounced at the strong man. Its huge body brought about a fishy wind, and it actually shook the sturdy iron cage until it made cracking sounds.
Facing the attack, the man slowly raised his hand, and a halberd appeared in his hand. Then, he brought about a violent flame tornado and stabbed at the giant tiger.
Unparalleled Roaring Flame Spear!
The shadow of the spear flashed, and the giant tiger's huge body could not move an inch. Instead, it was sent flying by the terrifying force and crashed into the cage.
"Roar –!"
The giant tiger was furious.
A mere human had actually injured it. How could it endure such humiliation?
"Switch!"
The black-armored man put away the halberd and stood to the side.
Another person walked in from outside the cage.
This person was dressed in black and completely wrapped himself in darkness. He exuded a cold killing intent, like a ghost.
The roaring giant tiger did not care who he was. It only knew that it wanted to destroy everything in front of it.
Although the black-clothed man was not as domineering as the previous person, he was more agile.
His ghost-like figure flashed and actually arrived beside the giant tiger first. Then, the dagger in his hand mercilessly stabbed at the giant tiger's body.
The giant tiger's reaction was also very fast. It swung its tail and smashed it at the black-clothed man.
However, when the tail swept past the black-clothed man, it only hit an afterimage.
The black-clothed man had appeared above the giant tiger's head and stabbed the dagger down.
The giant tiger was stabbed to the ground.
"You two are really too much. What's the point of bullying a tiger? Come, come, come, let's exchange a few moves!"
At this moment, a bright and cheerful voice sounded.
The people inside and outside the cage all turned their heads to look.
The newcomer was dressed in black, looking capable and cool. His long hair danced in the wind, making him look very dashing.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
These people all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the newcomer.
"Get up, all of you. I've already said this many times. There's no need to care about these formalities now. Your strength is the key."
The person who came was precisely Ling Xiao, and the ones who fought with the giant tiger before were respectively Meng Tong and Xin.
This guy, Meng Tong, seemed to especially worship his general Qin Huo. Thus, even his weapon was exactly the same as Qin Huo's. He also imitated Qin Huo's moves. However, due to the different characteristics, the same moves were completely different.
Meng Tong advocated power, so his moves were incomparably tyrannical.
Qin Huo, on the other hand, was even more balanced and at ease.
"Everyone else, continue to train. Remember, as long as you don't die, train like crazy. The battlefield is even crueler than this! Meng Tong, Xin, the two of you are in charge of supervising them. "
Qin Huo gave the order, then walked towards Ling Xiao and said, "After not seeing you for a few days, Young Master's strength has increased by quite a bit. You've already advanced to the late stage of Six Arts Heaven, right?"
"Haha, as expected, I can't hide it from General Qin. I see that Meng Tong and Xin seem to have broken through as well. The effect of your training is not bad."
Ling Xiao did not hide his strength when he came here. Thus, Qin Huo could naturally see his cultivation.
"Meng Tong is now at the peak of Seven Stars Heaven, and Xin is at the peak of Six Arts Heaven. They have indeed broken through. This is all thanks to the Heaven Origin Crystals you gave them."
Qin Huo said with a smile.
"Young Master, fighting with these wild beasts is too boring. Why don't the two of us give it a try?"
Meng Tong was a boorish person, a true martial fanatic. However, his status in the eyes of these soldiers was extremely high. This was because Meng Tong had always been at the forefront in battle.
His skin was rough, his flesh was thick, and his strength was extraordinary. In addition, his strength was not bad. He was simply the idol of these soldiers.
In the entire army, other than General Qin Huo, the person they admired the most was Meng Tong.
In comparison, although they were grateful to Ling Xiao and were also very respectful towards Ling Xiao, they might not be willing to obey Ling Xiao's orders in their hearts.
It was even possible that they viewed Meng Tong's orders as more important than Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao also discovered this point. He knew very well that unless he defeated Meng Tong, it would be impossible for him to obtain these people's trust.
These people would not view him as a brother. They would merely view him as a benefactor.
However, what Ling Xiao wanted was not to be their benefactor. Instead, he wanted to become their brother, their leader. Therefore, this battle was unavoidable.
He was not a match for Qin Huo.
After all, Qin Huo was already a Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artist.
However, he still had confidence in dealing with Meng Tong.
Of course, he was very clear about this in his heart. However, these soldiers did not know, nor did they think so.
In their opinion, even if Ling Xiao's cultivation had reached the late stage of the Six Arts, he would at most be at the same level as Xin. He would definitely be inferior to Meng Tong.
One had to know that Meng Tong was someone who could even beat beasts that were stronger than him to death, let alone a martial artist.
In their opinion, even if Ling Xiao's cultivation caught up to Meng Tong, he might not be a match for Meng Tong. Let alone the current Ling Xiao's cultivation was inferior to Meng Tong. It was even far inferior.
Even Qin Huo thought so. So when he heard Meng Tong's words, he was the first to berate him. "Meng Tong, what are you doing? Impudent! Young Master is our benefactor. Does it matter if his strength is strong or weak? "
"General Qin, you don't have to be harsh on Meng Tong. Today, I returned from Ling Yue's courtyard and fought with someone. I'm still a little excited now. Since Meng Tong has this intention, then let's compete."
Ling Xiao stopped Qin Huo and stood up with a smile.
For the sake of completely turning these people into his own people, for the sake of truly sharing weal and woe, sharing life and death, this battle was unavoidable.
"Young Master, are you really willing?"
Meng Tong asked excitedly.
"Of course I'm willing."
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"Haha, Young Master, don't worry. I won't hurt you. You're our benefactor. I'll be lenient."
If these words were said by someone else, Ling Xiao would probably frown. Because it would definitely be sarcasm and ridicule.
But when these words came from Meng Tong's mouth, there was absolutely no meaning behind them. This guy was really afraid that he would beat Ling Xiao up. That was why he said those words.
He did not refute.
In the battle later, everything would naturally become clear. Meng Tong was a soldier. His perception towards danger might be more sensitive than many people.
If he felt danger, he would definitely go all out.
