After assessing his strength, Ling Xiao felt that he had already surpassed his peers by quite a bit.
However, when he thought of General Yuling and Dai Yuling, he was very clear that he could not slack off.
Of course, when one's cultivation reached a bottleneck, it was not a bad idea to go out and relax.
He had just walked out of the cultivation room when Cold Plum walked over.
"Young Master, Miss Yi Xue is still in closed door cultivation. Besides that, there's a rumor circulating in the Latent Dragon Camp that you might want to know about."
"Oh? What's the rumor? "
Ling Xiao asked.
Cold Plum replied, "It's rumoured that the number one expert in Baiyun Province, Master Baiyun, will be accepting disciples once every three years. This time, he will be accepting disciples from the entire Baiyun Province. The location is Sky Cloud City but those who will be chosen are either from Heavenly Ninja Academy or Latent Dragon Camp."
"This Master Baiyun is more powerful than Wan Ben and Lin Shuai?" Ling Xiao asked in surprise.
"It's rumoured that he might be a Transcendent!"
Cold Plum replied.
"Transcendent! Since he's a Transcendent, I'll have to give it a try. "
If one could become a Transcendent's disciple, it would definitely be beneficial to one's cultivation.
"Young Master, please don't let your guard down. This Master Baiyun only accepts young people below sixteen years old. Moreover, he only looks at their innate potential and not their cultivation or strength. The Twelve Tiger Guards are very powerful right? But none of them were chosen by him. "
Cold Plum explained.
"Has anyone been chosen before?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"Yes, two people from Heavenly Ninja Academy were chosen. In the past, there was a genius from the Governor Manor who was also chosen. Master Baiyun has had this rule for over a hundred years but he only has five disciples!"
Cold Plum nodded.
From Cold Plum's words, one could tell that this Master Baiyun's selection of disciples was very strict.
"No matter what, I have to try. If you don't try, the possibility is zero. If you try, at least the possibility won't be zero. Thank you for telling me this news."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Come, let's exchange some pointers. There are some things I want to explore in battle."
For the next three days, Ling Xiao basically spent his time cultivating and exchanging pointers. His cultivation base, strength, and combat ability had to be improved.
On the afternoon of the third day, General Jiu Yue gathered all the Latent Dragon Camp disciples again and announced a piece of news.
"One day later, Master Bai Yun will return to Sky Cloud City and will be recruiting disciples at White Cloud Monastery! All disciples under the age of 16 can go and try. It doesn't matter if your cultivation base is low. "
This news caused an uproar in the Latent Dragon Camp like a volcanic eruption. Everyone became excited.
Especially the disciples under the age of 16, all of them rubbed their fists and were ready to jump over the dragon gate.
There was actually a reason why they acted this way.
It was said that no matter how weak one's strength was, as long as one was chosen by Master Bai Yun, they would be able to reach the eighth-layer Martial Vein, or even the ninth-layer Martial Vein within a year!
To many disciples who couldn't catch up in their cultivation, this was simply the best chance to change their fate.
Master Bai Yun was a person whom even Governor Wan Kun and Border Garrison General Lin Ze were extremely respectful towards. It showed how glorious it was to become this person's disciple.
When the news spread, including Latent Dragon Camp, Heavenly Ninja Academy and even the entire White Cloud Province, all the young practitioners under the age of 16 were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
From all over White Cloud Province, there were many talented young practitioners who rushed towards Sky Cloud City.
In an instant, Sky Cloud City was overcrowded and many people couldn't even enter the city. Those who were not involved could only camp outside the city and only those talented practitioners who came to try their luck were allowed to enter the city.
After the initial agitation, Ling Xiao's emotions gradually calmed down.
He didn't like to hand his fate over to others.
If he could become Master Bai Yun's disciple, that would be the best. If not, he didn't care. He believed that with his Mountain River Martial Spirit, he could do it better than anyone else.
However, there were a few people in Latent Dragon Camp who actually broke through under the immense pressure.
The most conspicuous one among them was Yin Ran.
Yin Ran had broken through to the seventh level of the Martial Vein and was promoted to a Martial Master.
From a Martial Disciple to a Martial Master, it seemed as though it was just a promotion of one realm but the status in the world was totally different.
Once she became a Martial Master, she would be revered by many.
Ling Xiao personally went to congratulate Yin Ran and gave her a rare top grade martial art.
This kind of martial art didn't have much meaning to him but to Yin Ran, it was totally different.
Yin Ran urgently needed a top grade martial art to raise her ability.
After the congratulatory ceremony, Ling Xiao returned to his courtyard to continue cultivating.
Even if it was just one day, he wasn't willing to waste any time.
> was currently his main cultivation method so naturally he had to persevere in cultivating it.
So his main body had always been cultivating this. Even though the True Essence in his body was already comparable to a practitioner at the seventh level of the Martial Vein, but no one would complain about their own ability.
After all, this was a quasi-transcendent level internal cultivation method. The sooner he cultivated it to the Perfection Stage or even the Perfection Stage, the better it would be for him.
Of the two doppelgangers, one of them insisted on cultivating >. This was his only Transcendent level martial art so he couldn't stop cultivating it.
The other doppelganger persisted in improving >.
The power of > was far stronger than he had imagined. Currently, Ling Xiao had only cultivated it to the Perfection Stage and had not entered the Perfection Stage yet. Even so, its attack power was already comparable to a quasi-transcendent level martial art.
The next afternoon, he suddenly had a slight understanding of > and finally stepped into the Perfection Stage. He also comprehended the second level of the sure-kill skill, >!
This sure-kill skill was used in conjunction with the Giant Sword Remnant Soul. The stronger the Giant Sword Remnant Soul was, the more powerful it would be.
Compared to >, it was naturally more powerful.
When he used >, the wind and clouds changed color and the heaven and earth trembled. The giant shadow in the void slashed down with its sword, and there was a faint trace of a transcendent level martial art.
It could be said that the power of this move, even when facing an eighth level Martial Vein Martial Master, was completely superior.
This was under the condition that the Giant Sword Remnant Soul had not turned into a complete soul and did not rely on >.
With >, > seemed a little useless.
However, it didn't matter. Ling Xiao had modified > and combined it with the Blood Saber Remnant Soul to transform it into >.
Although the power of this move was still inferior to >, it was even more unpredictable.
In the past, when > was used, it relied on speed to win.
But now, when > was used, the opponent would not know where this move would come from.
It was unknown how many blood saber afterimages would appear.
A day passed very quickly.
General Jiu Yue announced again, "Rest well today. Tomorrow, we will head to Baiyun Temple together!"
At this time, Ling Yixue had also come out of seclusion.
Although her realm was still at the middle of the seventh level of the Martial Vein Realm, Ling Xiao felt that even if Ling Yixue met a martial artist at the peak of the seventh level of the Martial Vein Realm, she would not be afraid.
There was actually a feeling that he could not see through her.
