Li Xinghui had long hated Ling Xiao during the Heaven Peak City's tournament. Later on, he found out that his brother Li Xingyun was killed by Ling Xiao.
Even when Li family's practitioners besieged Ling Xiao that day, many of them died in Ling Xiao's hands.
So Li Xinghui had always wanted to take revenge.
He came to Sky Cloud City earlier than Ling Xiao and broke through to the seventh level of the Martial Vein earlier. After all, when they were in Heaven Peak City, his cultivation was much higher than Ling Xiao's and he was already at the sixth level of the Martial Vein peak.
Adding on to the fact that after the test, his potential wasn't considered low. All three categories were three stars ninety percent.
Among the ordinary practitioners, he was considered to have high aptitude which was close to the peak.
After coming to Sky Cloud City, he received Wan Ren and Sky Ninja Academy's nurturing. Now that his cultivation was at the seventh level of the Martial Vein middle stage, he was confident that he had already surpassed Ling Xiao.
He hated that Ling Xiao had always been hiding in the Latent Dragon Camp so he didn't have the chance to seek revenge on Ling Xiao.
Today they met here and his potential was even lower than Ling Xiao's, so how could he possibly give up on this opportunity.
Ling Xiao was about to reject when he suddenly thought of the materials he needed to restore the Seven Star Flower and changed his mind.
"You can challenge me but there has to be a reward."
"Tell me!"
Li Xinghui said.
"One fine quality treasure and ten natural crystals!"
Ling Xiao didn't ask for much. As long as he could gather the materials, he would be able to restore the Seven Star Flower.
"Alright, I promise you. But we have to go up to White Cloud Observatory's Life and Death Cliff and sign the Life and Death Contract. We will fight to the death!"
Li Xinghui gritted his teeth.
"Have you thought it through?"
Ling Xiao wasn't the kind of person who killed indiscriminately. He killed Li Xingyun because Li Xingyun killed his family.
He killed Li family's practitioners because Li family's practitioners had besieged his family.
But Li Xinghui didn't have any deep hatred with him and it wasn't to the point where they would fight to the death.
"Why, are you afraid?"
Li Xinghui said coldly.
"Is the Latent Dragon Camp's commander-in-chief such a coward?"
"That's right, that's right. Latent Dragon Camp is full of cowards!"
"Coward!"
Many geniuses from the Heavenly Enduring Academy began to jeer.
Wan Ben also said, "As a warrior, you should disregard life and death. Only when you are between life and death can you have a breakthrough. I say, Lin Ze, this disciple of yours doesn't look like much."
"He's just kind-hearted and doesn't want to kill too much."
Lin Ze said calmly.
"Hahaha, I think he's just afraid of death."
Wan Ben mocked.
"Fine, since you want to die so badly, I'll fulfill your wish. Go to the Life and Death Cliff and sign the Life and Death Letter. However, I'll add one more item to the prize, and that is a quasi-transcendent martial arts technique!"
"No problem!"
Wan Ben answered for Li Xinghui. "Today, I am here. If Li Xinghui dies, I will give you what he owes."
"With Lord Governor's words, Ling Xiao can rest assured."
Ling Xiao smiled faintly. Then, he and Li Xinghui signed the life and death agreement in front of everyone. After that, everyone went to the White Cloud Monastery's Life and Death Cliff.
This Life and Death Cliff was originally a place used by Sky Cloud City to settle disputes.
If the law couldn't solve the problem, then they would use force to solve it. On the Life and Death Cliff, regardless of life or death, no one needed to be responsible.
Ling Xiao stood there and almost became everyone's focus.
Even Master Bai Yun, Zuo Leng and Ming Tian who were in the True Spirit Hall were watching this battle through a special mirror.
"I've long heard that there's a fourteen year old genius in the Latent Dragon Camp called Ling Xiao. Is that him?"
"That's right. He's only fourteen years old and he's already a Martial Master. This kind of innate talent is really shocking. No wonder he was chosen by Master Bai Yun as his disciple."
"I heard that he seems to be able to use many kinds of martial arts remnant soul. I wonder if it's true."
"It should be true. This kind of rumour isn't baseless. After all, he's the one who defeated Lu Xing."
"Li Xinghui had also defeated Lu Xing before so there's nothing to be proud of."
"Well, that's right. When Li Xinghui had just advanced to the early seventh level of the Martial Vein, his strength had already surpassed Lu Xing's. Coupled with the cultivation of Governor Wan Ben, he's now a mid-seventh level Martial Vein Martial Master. His strength is definitely above Lu Xing's."
"I've also heard that Li Xinghui would have been sent out if it weren't for the fact that the Latent Dragon Camp was too weak. I didn't expect Lu Xing to suffer a loss. If I had known earlier, I would have sent Li Xinghui."
"Yes, potential doesn't represent strength. Ling Xiao's potential may be higher than Li Xinghui's, but his strength is definitely not as good as Li Xinghui's. It'll be a pity if he dies today."
"Do you think Master Bai Yun will intervene?"
"If Ling Xiao was a true disciple, it might be possible. However, he's not. Master Bai Yun has never cared too much about his disciples."
This was obviously what someone who knew the inside story said.
In any case, in today's battle, although there were a few people who supported Ling Xiao, most people didn't think that Ling Xiao would win.
Especially in the life-and-death battle, Li Xinghui was too brutal. He displayed his Animal Martial Soul to the fullest.
They felt that it was a pity that Ling Xiao's potential was higher than Li Xinghui's. In the future, he would definitely surpass Li Xinghui. It would be a pity if he died here today.
Listening to the crowd's discussion, Ling Xiao had an impulse to laugh. Most of these people were seeing him for the first time. Hadn't they heard that he had defeated Li Xinghui in Tianfeng City?
He would never lose to someone who had won once.
"Ling Xiao, your potential is indeed good. I didn't expect that you're stronger than me."
Li Xinghui stood there and looked coldly at Ling Xiao. He said, "However, you have to understand that no matter how strong your potential is, you'll still die if you don't have strength!"
In his eyes, it was as if Ling Xiao had already become a corpse.
Ling Xiao said indifferently, "You're right. Without strength, it's useless no matter how good your potential is. If you die, you'll have nothing left. It's a pity that you're the only one who will die today."
"Shameless boasting!"
Li Xinghui shouted, "Don't think that you can still defeat me today just because you've defeated me before. With your strength, you'll only be an average disciple in the Sky Ninja Academy. The Latent Dragon Camp is not even worth mentioning."
Wan Ben was probably the one who ordered Li Xinghui to belittle the Latent Dragon Camp in front of Lin Ze.
Lin Ze was unhappy, but he couldn't be calculative with a Level 7 Martial Master. He could only hold back his anger for the time being.
Seeing Lin Ze's expression, Wan Ben laughed secretly. He pretended to glare at Li Xinghui and said, "Nonsense. How can the Latent Dragon Camp's strength be slandered by a brat like you? Although they lost the sparring matches at the end of the month, you can't say that."
Li Xinghui said indifferently, "I'm frank and outspoken. I'm just speaking the truth. If I've offended General Lin and the Latent Dragon Camp, please forgive me."
"Frank and outspoken!"
Ling Xiao was the commander-in-chief of the Latent Dragon Camp and he respected Lin Ze. Li Xinghui's slandering of Lin Ze and the Latent Dragon Camp had already made him very unhappy.
"Hehe, I wanted to give you a chance because it wasn't easy for you to cultivate to the Martial Master Realm. However, your words have already made me very unhappy. If I can't defeat you in six moves, I'll kill myself on the spot!"
Ling Xiao's words were cold and resolute.
However, as soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
