Chapter 16

"Alright, if Senior Sister says so, I believe her. So, Senior Brother Ling Fei, shall we begin?"

"Don't rush me!"

Ling Fei and Ling Xiao simultaneously stood at the starting line. About a hundred meters from the starting line, two disciples of the Ling family were standing.

The two of them had to run around those two disciples and come back. Whoever arrived first would win.

The process didn't emphasize leaping or looking good; it was all about speed.

At that moment, everyone's eyes were on Ling Xiao. They were eager to know if Ling Xiao, who had already created two miracles, could bring them another surprise.

"Start!"

At Ling Yixue's command, Ling Xiao and Ling Fei took off almost simultaneously, one like a swift flying through the rain, the other like a fierce tiger descending from a mountain.

However, Ling Fei was in the air, while Ling Xiao ran like a tiger.

"Ha ha ha, what the hell is this? Does he think he's a tiger?"

"So ugly!"

Some of the disciples who supported Ling Fei burst into laughter.

Ling Fei was secretly pleased, but he didn't have time to watch Ling Xiao's movements; he needed to win the race first.

The laughter abruptly stopped.

Because although Ling Xiao's movements were awkward, his running was like a fierce tiger, even creating a wind that stirred the air.

His speed was no less than Ling Fei's.

When they rounded the two Ling family disciples, the two of them were almost in sync, with Ling Fei only slightly ahead of Ling Xiao by less than a body length.

However, they all knew that Ling Xiao could use the Burst Qi Technique.

If he could almost keep up with Ling Fei without using the Burst Qi Technique, what would happen if he used it?

Whoosh!

A gust of wind answered their question!

On the return, Ling Xiao suddenly used the Burst Qi Technique, and his body shot forward like an arrow, instantly reaching the finish line.

He was three body lengths ahead of Ling Fei!

"Heavens... This guy is insane!"

Someone stood up and exclaimed in shock.

More people were left with blank expressions!

Because they knew what such speed meant; it would give him a huge advantage in battle.

"How did he do it? Senior Brother Ling Fei's speed is already very fast, ranking among the top in the Elite Hall. How could Ling Xiao be three body lengths ahead of him?"

"This guy is a monster. He's only been in the library for two or three days, yet he can already cultivate his lightness technique to this level..."

"This is impossible! Impossible!"

"How could I lose? How could I lose!"

Ling Fei's face was pale, and he fell to his knees in a daze.

It was over. All the popularity he had accumulated over the years was destroyed, and he had to give up a Breakthrough Pill.

Is the Burst Qi Technique really that powerful?

He didn't think so. In fact, one of his older brothers had also cultivated the Burst Qi Technique.

The purpose was the same as Ling Xiao's, but in reality, the Burst Qi Technique could indeed instantly increase speed and strength.

However, the instant consumption was enormous, and it was too costly to use.

What's going on with Ling Xiao?

He couldn't understand it at all.

Using the Burst Qi Technique three times in a row, and still seeming to have energy left? Is this guy a demon?

Regardless of whether he could understand it, the competition was over.

Ling Xiao won, and he won all three matches, while Ling Fei lost completely.

"This lightness technique competition, Ling Xiao wins. Junior Brother, you really are a hidden gem. Here's the Breakthrough Pill."

Ling Yixue took out a Breakthrough Pill and gave it to Ling Xiao.

She knew very well that if Ling Xiao had to ask Ling Fei for it, he wouldn't get it, but she didn't need to ask; Ling Fei would give it to him.

Actually, because they had entered the Ling family at the same time, and their talents were roughly equal, Ling Yixue had always paid attention to Ling Xiao.

However, as the gap between them grew larger, their opportunities to interact became fewer.

It wasn't until today that she saw the once spirited and determined Ling Xiao.

"Thank you, Senior Sister! So, everyone, can I go now?"

When Ling Xiao took the Breakthrough Pill from Ling Yixue, his fingers touched the girl's skin.

At that moment, it felt like an electric shock.

This feeling was so special. Could this be what boys expect from girls? Is this a feeling every boy gets at a certain age?

Not bad, he really wanted to keep holding Ling Yixue's hand. It was soft, smooth, and warm.

This scene made others look at him with envy. Ling Xiao smiled faintly, took the Breakthrough Pill, said thank you, and then walked into the courtyard.

Finally, this was over. If it continued, he really couldn't take it anymore. The doctor was probably getting impatient.

The Ling family disciples who had been blocking the way now made a path for him.

This was the respect of a strong person.

Ling Xiao had won Ling Fei with his strength and deserved such respect.

"You're really amazing, young master!"

The doctor not only didn't get annoyed but also gave Ling Xiao a thumbs up, looking admiring.

Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and said nothing. If you were a pretty girl, it would be better.

"Doctor, let's go. I've kept you waiting for too long today. I'll compensate you later."

"Where are you going, waste of space!"

Just as he stepped into the courtyard gate, two people walked towards him, one of whom was Ling Chong, the son of Ling Jiu.

He was the unlucky guy who had his ribs broken by Ling Xiao in one move.

Unexpectedly, after just a few days, he was already back to his old self.

"I just went to your place to look for you, but you weren't there. Great, since we've met now, let's settle old and new grudges. Last time, you didn't know your place and ambushed me. Today, I'm going to beat you until you're crawling on the ground! Oh, and I hope to break a few of your ribs too!"

Ling Chong's face was filled with excitement and malice. He had been cooped up at home for days, almost going crazy.

Every day, he thought about avenging himself!

Every day, he thought about taking out his anger on Ling Xiao.

Although his father had taken revenge for him in the library, it wasn't enough.

He wanted to defeat Ling Xiao personally and make him lose face in front of everyone!

Last time, he lost in one move, which left him feeling very frustrated.

The person beside him was his cousin, a peak second-level martial pulse disciple.

It seemed that Ling Chong was worried Ling Xiao would run away, so he brought a helper.

"What's going on?"

Ling Yixue noticed the situation and frowned.

"Senior Sister, you might not know, but before entering the library, Ling Xiao used despicable means to defeat Senior Brother Ling Chong in one move and broke his ribs. Junior Brother Ling Chong is here to take revenge."

"Despicable means?"

"It seems that Senior Brother Ling Chong let him, but he didn't know his place and suddenly attacked."

"Do you really believe such nonsense? When has Ling Chong ever held back in a fight?"

Ling Yixue laughed coldly.

Though she was like a graceful fairy, she was still human and understood the warmth and coldness of human relationships, as well as the internal situation of the Ling family.

Ling Xiao's experience was something she had also faced, but because she progressed faster, she encountered it less often.

She had already decided to help.

Ling Xiao had just competed with Ling Fei, and his true qi must have been greatly depleted. If he met Ling Chong now, even if he could fight, he might not be a match.

However, unlike her, some people were delighted.

For example, Ling Fei, who had lost to Ling Xiao.

He noticed that Ling Xiao was stopped by Ling Chong and immediately wore a smug expression.
