Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 2516 - 519: Genius Rankings and Odds Rankings

The third ranked in the talent rankings is Dawn Wind Moon from Duke Yates, a girl.

These three all have cultivation levels at the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Sixth Layer Hell, leaving the other talents far behind.

The one originally ranked fourth was Chen Xuanfeng from the Tianfeng Group.

Yet today, unexpectedly, it was Ling Xiao who couldn’t even make it into the top thirty before.

For a moment, this sparked endless discussion among people.

Unlike the talent rankings, there is also an odds rankings.

The higher the rank in the odds rankings, the more likely one is expected to capture the Bull God Beast Soul.

The odds rankings generally align with the talent rankings, but there is one exception.

That exception is Ling Xiao!

Ling Xiao is fourth in the talent rankings but ranks last in the odds rankings.

Among the forty-five contestants from the three major powers, he is the forty-fifth.

The low ranking in the odds is justified.

It has spread that Ling Xiao has offended nearly all the talents of Eight Immortals Mountain.

Almost everyone believes Ling Xiao is fated to die, hence why his odds are naturally very low.

A person destined to die obviously cannot win.

That low odds ranking is therefore understandable.

Of course, Ling Xiao truly isn’t interested in these rankings.

Despite having heard of them, his heart remains indifferent.

After returning to Eight Immortals Mountain, Ling Xiao hid in his courtyard and began dedicated training.

Spending five days mastering the Jade Rabbit Beast Soul to a proficient level.

Though due to a gap in cultivation, he cannot fully unleash the true power of the Jade Rabbit.

But at least he’s no longer unfamiliar with it.

He has also become very familiar with using the Emerald Divine Statue.

Regarding his cultivation level, thanks to his familiarity with the Jade Rabbit Beast Soul and the massive amount of pills he refined, he finally broke through to the First-turn Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Level of Hell, Intermediate Stage.

This speed is already very fast.

Without fortuitous encounters, such speed could be considered extraordinary.

Yet Ling Xiao remains unsatisfied.

Finding his cultivation improvement too slow, he turned his focus to honing his top-level Battle Body.

Having used all the remaining Thunder Element and Magma Elemental Jade, he still couldn’t advance his top-level Battle Body.

This troubled him greatly.

With no choice, he decided to pause cultivation and try his luck outside.

Last time he went to Eight Immortals County City, he obtained the Jade Rabbit Beast Soul. If luck favors him this time, he may find a method for cultivating the top-level Battle Body.

After all, Eight Immortals Mountain does not have the method for cultivating top-level Battle Bodies.

He could only try his luck outside.

As he stepped out of his courtyard, he saw Jian Ruchao standing there, seemingly waiting for a long time.

"What? Does the Vice Hall Master intend to deal with me here?"

Ling Xiao smiled faintly.

"Are you looking for the method to cultivate a top-level Battle Body?"

Jian Ruchao ignored Ling Xiao’s sarcasm and countered with a question.

"You’re investigating me?"

Ling Xiao’s voice turned icy.

"Do I need to investigate? As the Vice Hall Master of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil Hall, I naturally know that you searched for this in the Inner Hall. I’m just asking you now, do you want the cultivation method?"

Jian Ruchao asked.

"Of course."

Ling Xiao nodded.

"I once visited Tianfeng Group and had the fortune of discovering records of this in their Book Collection Pavilion. But unfortunately, their people were around, so I couldn’t examine it.

If you’re brave enough, you might as well go there and take a look."

Jian Ruchao said indifferently.

"You think I’m stupid? Tianfeng Group’s Book Collection Pavilion? I’m going there to die?"

Ling Xiao instantly sensed Jian Ruchao’s scheme.

"It’s not a scheme; it’s an open plot. I’m using Tianfeng Group’s people to kill you. Of course, you can choose not to go, but then you’ll never get the method, never cultivate a top-level Battle Body."

Jian Ruchao sneered coldly.

"Good, impressive, truly impressive!"

Ling Xiao glared at Jian Ruchao, certain that he spoke the truth about Tianfeng Group’s possession of the method.

But going there might mean certain death.

Not to mention the grudge with Tianfeng Group’s leader Chen Changsheng, who is incredibly powerful.

Just dealing with Chen Beixuan is beyond his capability.

However, Jian Ruchao still doesn’t know his real background.

With a slight smile: "Thanks for the reminder, Vice Hall Master, I’ll go take a look."

With that, he flew away without a moment’s hesitation.

"Fool!"

Jian Ruchao watched Ling Xiao leave, grinning darkly.

He pursued Ling Xiao, but midway, he disguised himself, wearing Tianfeng Group martial artists’ clothing.

Jian Ruchao’s plan is actually simple.

Because he knows the simpler the plan, the fewer chances of errors.

He intends to intercept and kill Ling Xiao within Tianfeng Group’s territory.

Shifting the blame for Ling Xiao’s death on Tianfeng Group.

After all, the Steward of Demon Shadow Sect’s Eight Immortals County City was affiliated with Tianfeng Group’s leader, Chen Changsheng’s son.

In this way, Tianfeng Group killing Ling Xiao has sufficient reasoning.

This approach not only serves two purposes but also eliminates many troubles.

However, unfortunately, Jian Ruchao misjudged one thing, and that is Ling Xiao’s strength.

Ling Xiao dared to venture alone into Tianfeng Group; how could he do so without strength?

Jian Ruchao’s plan was perfect, yet before real strength, it’s worthless.

...

"Come out, do you think I can’t guess your little schemes?"

Upon reaching Tianfeng Group’s territory, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped.

He coldly watched the bushes not far behind him and said, "You’ve followed me from Eight Immortals Mountain to here just to kill me.

Let’s not bother with any more tricks; if you want to fight, do it quickly. After dealing with you, I’m heading to Tianfeng Group."

The bushes remained silent.

Ling Xiao chuckled coldly, raised his hand, and an Shadow Cone shot through the air.

Tearing through the bushes, it struck something with a loud explosion.

A person was forcefully blasted out from the bushes.

"What kind of move is this? I’ve never seen it before."

It was Jian Ruchao who was blasted out.

At this moment, Jian Ruchao’s face was extremely grim.

He originally thought of sneaking up on Ling Xiao from behind, believing this would increase his chances of success.

Though he looked down on Ling Xiao, he also didn’t want to take chances.

Yet he didn’t expect to be discovered so quickly.

Moreover, Ling Xiao’s move was so unexpectedly odd and powerful; he’d never seen it before.

"Aren’t you always curious about my true identity? I can tell you now."

Ling Xiao looked contemptuously at Jian Ruchao and said, "Your suspicions were correct, I am Ling Xiao, the top talent on White Tiger Continent!"

"You!"

Jian Ruchao’s expression instantly changed drastically.

Ling Xiao admitting his true identity before Jian Ruchao meant he intended to kill him.

At this moment, Jian Ruchao’s heart hung suspended, filled with worry.

"You can guess what I intend to do, yes? I’ve always told you not to provoke me.

Because anyone who provokes me will surely not be spared.

You could have lived.

They say even ants cling to life, yet you came seeking death. No one to blame but yourself."

Ling Xiao looked mockingly at Jian Ruchao, unsure who was the real hunter.
