Chapter 12

Lingxiao noticed Ling Fei's expression and couldn't help but shake his head.

These disciples of the clan, each with their heads held high, are also particularly narrow-minded. They can casually step on your shoulders, and if you help them with your feet, they will still be angry.

He didn't bother to argue with Ling Fei, as he was in a hurry to get the doctor to treat his grandfather's injuries.

Who knew that just as he took a step, a white figure flashed by, and the doctor's medicine box had already vanished.

It turned out that Ling Fei had hung it on a tree branch over ten meters high.

"What are you doing?"

Lingxiao frowned and asked.

"Nothing, just wanted to test your lightness of body."

Ling Fei said calmly, as if he had done something trivial.

"Who is that guy?"

Several disciples couldn't help but look at Lingxiao, all somewhat puzzled.

Of course, there were some who recognized Lingxiao.

"He used to be a beggar, entered our Ling family through the clan's grand examination a year ago. In this year, his strength has only reached the first level of the Martial Vein, and he has offended two elite disciples, Ling Chong and Ling Feng. Even Ling Yu, who was once very considerate to him, is now Ling Feng's woman..."

"Hmm, I've heard of this guy. When Ling Chong let him off, he actually used despicable means to attack, truly shameless!"

"But he seems to have advanced to the second level of the Martial Vein. A few days ago, he went to the library to steal books and was punished."

"A person like this doesn't deserve to be a Ling family disciple. No wonder Brother Ling Fei is playing with him."

"I think we won't be able to get the medicine box down today. He probably doesn't know how to use lightness of body."

Those disciples who flattered Ling Fei now spoke with mocking and disdainful tones about Lingxiao, as if they were superior.

"I was just playing with him. You all saw, he actually tried to attack me!"

Ling Fei shamelessly twisted the facts, trying to justify his actions.

Lingxiao's brows furrowed tightly.

Sure enough, it's still the same. Without strength, one can only be bullied everywhere.

Ling Chong, Ling Feng, Ling Fei, Ling Yu, if he remains a worthless first-level Martial Vein, there will be even more people bullying him in the future.

Forget it, today is a good time to test the power of the "Tiger Descending the Mountain Step."

Ignoring Ling Fei and the others, he looked at the medicine box hanging on the tree branch over ten meters high and suddenly activated his true qi, performing the "Tiger Descending the Mountain Step"...

Peng—

Oh no!

Lingxiao didn't expect that he used too much force and ended up colliding with the tree.

Indeed, it's a bit hard to control when using such a powerful technique for the first time. Next time, he needs to be more restrained.

"Ha ha ha... What a fool!"

Ling Fei and the others laughed heartily, some even squatting down, tears streaming down their faces.

Lingxiao didn't care.

Everything has a first time. He just used too much force this time. Next time, he'll be more restrained.

He activated the Mountain and River Martial Spirit, and a well-measured true qi surged into his legs. The "Tiger Descending the Mountain Step" was suddenly performed.

Lingxiao was like a fierce tiger roaring and pouncing on the tree trunk.

This time, he successfully leaped onto the tree, but was still a hair's breadth away from the medicine box.

However, the laughter suddenly stopped, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Ling Fei was also greatly surprised.

He could see that Lingxiao's lightness of body was not bad.

Such lightness of body, even some disciples in the Elite Hall might not be able to match.

"It's fine, Brother Ling Fei, this guy doesn't even understand it himself!"

"Right, look at his confused expression. It must be a lucky fluke, pure luck!"

"Exactly, even if he got a lightness of body technique from the library, how could he learn it in just a few days?"

"Just now, he only jumped higher because of the true qi."

Despite their sour faces, these people always found reasons to comfort themselves.

However, they couldn't find any reason next.

A low shout sounded, and Lingxiao, like a nimble tiger or a clever mountain cat, stepped on the tree trunk, his body lightly floating up, then grabbed the medicine box and floated down.

He landed steadily on the ground.

At this point, these people couldn't find any reason to comfort themselves.

Such lightness of body, even Ling Fei might not be able to match.

"Intermediate body techniques are indeed powerful. I wonder how the 'Soaring Cloud Step' compares to the 'Tiger Descending the Mountain Step.' I'll try to cultivate the 'Soaring Cloud Step' when I get back."

Lingxiao felt extremely pleased.

Not only because he had struck a blow against those who slandered him, but more importantly, he was now even more confident about the future.

"Is this guy a genius?"

"Right, to go from not knowing lightness of body to such a high level in just a few days, that's too ridiculous!"

The people who came to their senses were somewhat不服气 (unconvinced). Some of them had practiced lightness of body for one or two years and still couldn't match Lingxiao.

Naturally, they felt uncomfortable.

"Let's go, Doctor. My grandfather is waiting for you to treat him."

The doctor was also a bit stunned. Reminded by Lingxiao, he finally came to his senses.

"Sir, your lightness of body is truly impressive."

The doctor was just an ordinary person, so he now regarded Lingxiao as a young master of the Ling family, otherwise, how could he have such good skills.

"Master? You fool, this guy is just a little beggar. He just got lucky. Show us again if you can!"

"Right, show us again, and you'll definitely fail!"

The disciples shouted loudly, clearly unwilling to be outdone by a little beggar.

Lingxiao wanted to leave, but these people blocked his way.

To be honest, one person against so many, he really didn't have the confidence to win.

After all, among them, including Ling Fei, there were several third-level Martial Vein warriors.

Since these people want to embarrass themselves, he might as well show them his lightness of body again.

After all, the "Tiger Descending the Mountain Step" is just a basic technique. He really wants to practice the "Soaring Cloud Step," so it doesn't matter if he exposes himself.

"Since you want to see, I'll show you again."

He pointed to a fruit on the tree and said, "That fruit. I'll get it down, and then you won't bother me anymore."

"You're just boasting. That fruit is about twenty meters from the ground. Even Brother Ling Fei might not be able to do it!"

"Right, if you can really get that fruit, I'll crawl around the tree twice and bark like a dog!"

Ling Fei also said calmly, "For a third-level Martial Vein warrior, the highest limit of lightness of body is about fifteen meters. Lingxiao is just boasting."

He was speaking the truth, and the Ling family disciples agreed, all waiting to see Lingxiao's embarrassment.

"Is that so?"

Lingxiao smiled inwardly. Ling Fei had repaid kindness with enmity, and now someone wanted to bark like a dog. This was a good opportunity to humble these people and make them think twice before bullying him again.

He secretly gathered his qi, the true qi condensed in his Martial Vein, and then flowed through the meridians into his legs.

"Explosive Qi Technique!"

"Tiger Descending the Mountain Step!"

Lingxiao knew that Ling Fei was right, but if he used the Explosive Qi Technique, his Tiger Descending the Mountain Step could definitely reach over twenty meters.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind sounded, and Lingxiao leaped into the air, instantly reaching nearly twenty meters high.

Just as he was about to successfully pick the fruit, a stone suddenly shot over from the side.
