"Ling Xiao ah, are you sure you want to choose these three peak grade martial arts?"
Seeing the three peak grade martial arts Ling Xiao had chosen, 2nd Master Ling's face turned bitter.
"2nd Master Ling, if you have something to say, feel free to say it."
Ling Xiao said.
2nd Master Ling sighed. "This 《Multiple Shadow Sword Art》 was originally considered a peak grade martial art. Not only can it confuse the opponent, its attack power is also terrifying. Because the attacks of the three shadow clones and the main body can be stacked, its power is close to the legendary Transcendent grade martial arts."
"Then why did it become a beginner grade martial art?"
"Ai, this is the reason why I can't do anything about it. This martial art is extremely difficult to learn, and after so many years in the Ling Family, no one has succeeded in learning it. It's because the clones can't be formed, so it's a waste of time to learn it."
2nd Master Ling laughed bitterly.
"If that's the case, then all the more I want to choose it. If others can't learn it, then it means that it's unique."
Ling Xiao thought of the 《Soaring Cloud Steps》 and 《Ox Demon Skill》 that he had obtained. He felt that since 《Multiple Shadows Sword Technique》 had once been classified as a top-tier high-tier martial art, then there was definitely a reason for it.
The 《Multiple Shadow Sword Art》 had a total of six levels, and there was only one requirement to learn it. That was, the cultivator must have a high level of cultivation, or else it would be impossible to form a clone.
Previously, 2nd Master Ling had said that the most frightening thing about this sword art was that the attacks of the main body and the clones could be stacked.
Once trained to the highest level, the three clones and the main body would be able to increase the attack power by nearly two times. In terms of pure attack power, it was probably one of the best peak grade martial arts.
"Since you want to choose it, I won't stop you. However, there are some things that I still have to say."
2nd Master Ling said earnestly. "Our Patriarch had also tried to learn this martial art before, but in the end, he was still unable to form a clone. In the end, he had no choice but to give up. Thus, there was a rumor that although this martial art is a peak grade martial art, it requires a Transcendent grade martial artist to successfully learn it."
"2nd Master Ling, do you think that I won't be able to succeed?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
2nd Master Ling froze for a moment and fell into deep thought.
That's right, the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique is also a top-notch martial art that is extremely difficult to cultivate. Since this kid has succeeded in cultivating it, then he might be able to create another miracle.
"I believe you!"
Second Master Ling suddenly said, "You are able to cultivate basic martial arts and advanced martial arts to the stage of perfection. This kind of talent and comprehension ability is something that even Old Master Ling can't compare to. The 《Multiple Shadow Sword Technique》 has been sealed for so many years, perhaps it will really be rediscovered in your hands."
"Of course."
Ling Xiao said confidently.
The reason why he was so confident was not because he felt that his talent was definitely stronger than Ling Xiaotian, but because the Mountain River Martial Spirit had already told him the answer.
The method of forming a doppelganger in the 《Multiple Shadow Sword Art》 was exactly the same as the Martial Soul Doppelganger. The doppelganger was the combination of soul power and earth energy.
Most people did not have a Martial Soul, so of course they could not condense an avatar. Naturally, they could not cultivate this sword art.
But he could.
"If you can successfully learn this 《Multiple Images Sword Technique》, then maybe you can fight with that Ling Chen."
Ling Second Master rubbed his chin and said.
"Ling Chen? That Ling Chen who just came back? "Ling Xiao asked with a frown.
This Ling Chen seemed to be very eye-catching. As soon as he came back, he received the attention of everyone in the clan. His limelight had completely overshadowed him, the winner of the annual clan competition.
"Yes, that's him. This kid seems to have comprehended part of the Extraordinary martial arts. His strength is beyond imagination. He was able to easily defeat Ling Feifan in one move. Can you do the same?"
Second Master Ling asked.
"Not at the moment."
Ling Xiao thought for a while and shook his head.
"Well, you are very humble and honest. But I believe in your potential. It is only a matter of time before you surpass that Ling Chen."
Second Master Ling said with a smile, "But you have to be careful. Ling Chen is Ling Thirteen's son. He is deeply loved by the Patriarch. I am afraid that this time, he will be brought to the fourth floor to study the Extraordinary martial arts. Moreover, he will be greatly nurtured by the Patriarch. Maybe the Patriarch will even give him one or two of the Thousand Year Snow Lotuses."
"Ling Chen is also Ling Thirteen's son?"
Ling Xiao was somewhat surprised.
"You probably don't know. This brother of mine has three sons and one daughter — Feng, Chen, Yun, and Xia. However, Ling Feng and Ling Yun are both in the clan. Ling Chen became the disciple of a Ranger when he was thirteen and went out to travel. As for Yun Xia, she is even more powerful. You will know in the future."
Second Master Ling smiled bitterly. "Although your results are outstanding, you are still an outsider. Ling Chen is the grandson of the Patriarch. He will definitely receive more than you."
He really felt that it was not worth it for Ling Xiao. No matter what, Ling Xiao was the winner of this year's clan competition. He was the one who defeated one of the four princes of Tianfeng City, Ling Feifan.
Logically speaking, Ling Xiao should be the one who was qualified to be brought to the fourth floor to study.
However, Ling Chen suddenly came back.
The fourth floor of the Ling family's library always had a rule. Within a year, only two people could be brought to the fourth floor to study.
Ling Chen was undoubtedly one of them.
The other one was probably Ling Feifan.
As the grandson of the Great Elder, Ling Feifan's status was not lower than Ling Chen's.
The reason why he told Ling Xiao all this was to win Ling Xiao's favour.
Because, similar to Ling Xiao, Second Master Ling was only a so-called "bastard" that Ling Xiaotian gave birth to outside. He did not have any status in the clan.
Although he was also outstanding, and stood out among Ling Xiaotian's thirteen sons, he was still not valued.
Even now, Second Master Ling could not even bring his own mother to live in the Ling family's ancestral home.
"Thank you Second Master Ling for telling me all this. However, could it be that the fourth floor only has incomplete Transcendent Martial Arts? There are no complete Transcendent Martial Arts? "
Ling Xiao asked a little agitatedly.
"As far as I know, the four big families of Tianfeng City do not have complete Transcendent Martial Arts. Even if they are incomplete, there are only four or five types."
Second Master Ling shook his head. "You should know that Transcendent Martial Arts are martial arts that are above the ordinary martial arts. Only martial artists who have reached the ninth level of the Martial Vein have the qualifications to learn them."
"I see. Then I'm relieved."
If Ling Chen and Ling Feifan really obtained Transcendent Martial Arts, then he would have no chance.
"Second Master Ling just said that the three martial arts I chose were not suitable. I already know the reason for the 《Multiple Shadow Sword Technique》. What about the other two?"
Ling Xiao quickly changed the topic. He did not want to dwell on things that he could not change.
"The 《Imperial Sword Technique》 is also a good martial art. However, it requires a Flying Sword Technique as the foundation. This Flying Sword Technique would be best if it is a high level martial art that has been trained to perfection. Otherwise, it will be impossible to learn."
Second Master Ling said. "Moreover, this martial art also requires a good Flying Sword. Flying Swords are shorter and thinner than normal swords. They are very difficult to forge and are very rare."
"I understand. What about the 《Soul Condensation Technique》?"
