"If Lord Jiu knew about this, he would definitely tear Ling Xiao apart." Ling Fei sneered.
"Lord Jiu probably won't do it himself. After all, once he does, this matter will become a weakness for others to use against him. It's not a good reputation to bully the weak. Spittle can drown people! However, Ling Chong has a cousin called Ling Tieshou. He's second only to Ling Feng in the Elite Hall and is ranked eleventh. He's at the peak of the third level of the Martial Vein. I reckon he'll make a move. "
… ….
After returning to his residence, Ling Xiao asked the doctor to diagnose his grandfather's body.
It wasn't difficult to treat broken ribs, but it required some precious medicinal herbs. And these medicinal herbs were more expensive.
The ninety taels of silver that Ling Xiao had just received instantly turned into money for medicinal herbs.
However, he did not regret it. It was not a loss to treat his grandfather's injuries.
"Alright, young master, go grab these medicinal herbs. I've clearly written down the ones for external and internal application. If you keep using them for a month, you should be able to recover."
After sending off the doctor, Ling Xiao went to grab the medicinal herbs. When he returned, he boiled the medicine for his grandfather. After taking care of his grandfather, he went out again.
He was very clear that since he had injured Ling Chong, trouble would definitely follow. He had to continue increasing his strength.
Now that he had mastered the "Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain Steps", it was time to activate the "Soaring Cloud Steps".
In order to avoid being disturbed, Ling Xiao directly climbed over the wall and went out. Then, he went to a forest seven to eight hundred meters away from the Ling Family's residence.
"The" Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain Steps "combined with the" Qi Explosion Art "can already defeat Ling Fei. I wonder how powerful the" Soaring Cloud Steps "will be?"
Ling Xiao was a little excited in his heart.
Through the Mountain and River Martial Spirit, Ling Xiao activated the "Soaring Cloud Steps".
However, this was only the activation. If he wanted to master it, he still had to cultivate. However, this way, cultivation would become easier.
This strange technique was a strange technique. Cultivating it was so troublesome and difficult, so the effect would definitely not be bad.
It was because of this that Ling Xiao was motivated to cultivate.
Perhaps it was due to the foundation of the 《Ferocious Tiger Descending the Mountain Steps》, coupled with the effects of the Mountain and River Martial Spirit, Ling Xiao only used two hours to grasp the first step of the 《Soaring Cloud Steps》.
Although the 《Soaring Cloud Steps》 had a total of nine steps, this was just the beginning.
However, after trying out the effects of Soaring Cloud Steps, Ling Xiao felt that no matter how hard it was, it would not be in vain!
He tried out the effects of Soaring Cloud Steps in the forest.
The final conclusion was — —
Even if he didn't use the 《Qi Explosion Art》, the effect of this 《Soaring Cloud Steps》 could reach the Perfection Stage of 《Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain Steps》 without the use of the 《Qi Explosion Art》.
When he used the Qi Explosion Art, he was much stronger than when he used the Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain Steps with the Qi Explosion Art.
This was only a step into the heavens!
Could it be that this 《Soaring Cloud Steps》 was not an ultimate martial art, but a high-grade martial art?
Otherwise, the effect would not be so good!
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao's motivation to practice the 《Soaring Cloud Steps》 was even stronger.
It was very simple, he chose to practice the 《Soaring Cloud Steps》 instead of the 《Ox Demon Arcana》 because this movement technique was not only a good martial art for fighting, but also a good martial art for escaping.
He, Ling Xiao, only had one life. Only by keeping his life, could he continue to become stronger.
Just as he was busy practicing to improve his strength, Ling Chong had been sent to the family's medicinal hall.
The Ling family's medicinal hall was a place that specialized in refining medicine and treating illnesses.
"Who hurt my son!"
Ling Jiu and Ling Tieshou had already arrived at the medicinal hall. Seeing Ling Chong's miserable appearance, Ling Jiu was so angry that he smashed the stone stool on the ground.
"Ling Xiao!"
The disciple who sent Ling Chong to the medicinal hall said in fear.
"Ling Xiao? That trash Ling Xiao? "
Ling Jiu was stunned. He thought it was some kind of master. How could it be Ling Xiao?
"It really is that Ling Xiao. That guy seems to have mastered a unique skill that can combine multiple martial arts. His strength is terrifying. He beat Brother Ling Chong up like this with just one move."
"Trash!"
Ling Jiu scolded.
"Yes, yes, yes. That Ling Xiao is indeed trash."
"I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about my son, Ling Chong!" Ling Jiu was both angry and cowardly.
He did not hesitate to violate the family rules to get high-level martial arts and a large number of elixirs for his son. But in the end, not only was his son not ranked in the Elite Hall, he even lost to Ling Xiao.
To be defeated twice in a row, both times with just one move. How stupid was he?
"Ninth Uncle, don't be too angry. Ling Chong is your son after all. That Ling Xiao, I'll help him deal with him!"
Ling Tieshou smiled and said.
"Tieshou, you're the most reassuring. Sigh, why aren't you my son? You're only one year older than Ling Xiao, but you've already mastered 60% of the Gigantic Spirit Divine Palm. And you've cultivated to the peak of the third level of the Martial Vein. If you were to deal with that Ling Xiao, it would be as easy as killing an ant. "
Ling Jiu seemed to think highly of Ling Tieshou.
"Ninth Uncle, for so many years, I've always regarded you as my father. My trash of a father died early. If it weren't for you taking me in, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Ling Tieshou said.
"Good! Well said! You're my son from now on. Whatever you want, I'll satisfy it! But you have to look at the master before beating a dog. That Ling Xiao, it's time to teach him a lesson. But the annual tournament is coming soon. No hurry. When the time comes, I'll embarrass that kid in front of all the Ling family members! "
…
Ling Xiao naturally did not know about this conversation. In fact, even if he knew, what he should do would not change.
After the first step of the Soaring Cloud Steps, the requirements were even higher. He needed to cultivate two intermediate movement techniques before he could activate the second step.
Left with no choice, Ling Xiao temporarily stopped and turned to cultivate the Meteor Fist and Crimson Sun Art.
He planned to cultivate the Meteor Fist and Crimson Sun Art to perfection, then go back and choose two intermediate movement techniques to cultivate.
After all, he could not just think about escaping in a battle. He also needed to improve his combat power.
And if he wanted to cultivate to the peak of the second level of the Martial Vein, he needed to cultivate the Crimson Sun Art and Meteor Fist.
In terms of increasing one's strength, martial arts and inner force mantras were better than movement techniques.
And the secret techniques themselves did not help in increasing one's cultivation base.
Therefore, ordinary warriors would not cultivate too many martial arts. They would focus more on training their inner force mantras and martial arts techniques.
After spending an entire day, Ling Xiao's harvest was truly bountiful!
He had cultivated the Crimson Sun Art to the fifth level!
He had also finally comprehended the ninth move of the Meteor Fist — — Meteor Fall!
The only thing he lacked before he reached perfection was maturity. This was not something that could be brought about by cultivation. It had to be tempered through actual combat.
At this moment, through the display of the Mountain and River Martial Spirit, he could clearly see that his True Qi was fifty percent thicker than it was a day ago.
The thicker his True Qi was, the more he could use the Qi Explosion Technique and the power of the Meteor Fist would be greater.
The most obvious change in the Mountain and River Diagram was that the flames in the altar were much more vigorous than before.
