Chapter 17

"Enough talk, if you want to fight, let's get it over with!"

Ling Xiao didn't like to cause trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it either, especially since Ling Chong was no longer a threat to him.

Moreover, Ling Jiu had obstructed his cultivation in every possible way. "If I can't beat you, can't I at least deal with your son?"

"Heh heh, interesting, you're actually not afraid?"

Ling Chong sneered, "Don't think that just because you've broken through to the second level of the Martial Vein, you can act arrogantly in front of me. Today, you will kneel!"

He had the right to look down on Ling Xiao—

He had already broken through to the peak of the second level of the Martial Vein for nearly half a year.

Plus, he had advanced martial arts.

"You talk too much, I still need to treat my grandfather's injuries."

Ling Xiao looked at Ling Chong, who now seemed like a clown to him.

"Brat, let's see how arrogant you are!"

Ling Chong, who had been despised by a trash he had bullied for almost a year, was suddenly furious. True Qi surged into his palms.

After a few days, his Giant Spirit Palm had been personally guided by his father, making it much stronger than before.

Plus, his father had provided him with many pills to enhance his True Qi.

He was full of confidence.

With a palm strike, it was as if a giant spirit had descended, the wind from the palm making Ling Xiao's hair flutter.

"Wow, this Ling Chong has actually mastered the Giant Spirit Palm to this extent, probably at about thirty percent proficiency."

Advanced martial arts were hard to master. For Ling Chong, at the peak of the second level of the Martial Vein, to achieve thirty percent proficiency was already very impressive.

Even Ling Yixue was surprised, but then she felt a bit annoyed.

Ling Chong's talent and effort were inferior to hers, yet he could obtain a large number of pills and advanced martial arts, which was really unfair.

Ling Yixue was about to break through to the fourth level of the Martial Vein and had only obtained one advanced martial art through her own talent.

She was well aware of the difficulty of cultivating advanced martial arts.

And she knew their power.

Even at thirty percent, advanced martial arts could crush all intermediate martial arts, which was a matter of tier difference.

"This momentum! This power! This speed! Indeed, it's at least twice as strong as before! Having a good father really does make a difference!"

Although Ling Xiao didn't take Ling Chong seriously, he would never underestimate an opponent in battle.

The River and Mountain Martial Spirit activated, revealing all of Ling Chong's information.

So he was certain that although Ling Chong's realm hadn't broken through, his combat ability was at least twice as strong as before!

But it was somewhat unstable.

Not solid!

The reason might be that he had taken too many pills.

"Heavenly Fire Assault!"

Using the River and Mountain Martial Spirit to pinpoint Ling Chong's weakness, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated. He activated the Crimson Sun Technique, his fists turning red, and then used the Tiger Descending the Mountain Step, pouncing on Ling Chong like a tiger.

Today, Ling Xiao didn't plan to dodge the Giant Spirit Palm; he wanted to clash head-on and crush Ling Chong!

This would deal a greater blow to the opponent!

To prevent Ling Chong from causing trouble again, he had no time to waste on this guy.

Facing Ling Xiao's counterattack, Ling Chong was clearly shocked. He didn't expect Ling Xiao to know such a fierce boxing technique.

But upon closer thought, his Giant Spirit Palm was an advanced martial art, while the Meteor Fist was only an intermediate martial art, so there was no need to fear.

However, what happened next terrified Ling Chong.

Raging Qi Technique!

To thoroughly crush Ling Chong, Ling Xiao once again used the Raging Qi Technique. This time, he didn't hold back but unleashed all his True Qi.

The eighth move of the Meteor Fist—Heavenly Fire Assault!

This move, enhanced by the terrifying Raging Qi Technique, became even more powerful.

In that instant, what Ling Chong saw was not Ling Xiao but a burning meteor!

A tiger descending from the sky!

Boom!

Without any fancy moves, the fist and palm collided.

The advantage of the advanced martial art Giant Spirit Palm was its power and momentum!

And the Meteor Fist also had the advantage of power and momentum!

A collision between a giant spirit and a meteor!

With the help of the Raging Qi Technique, Ling Xiao pushed the eighth move of the Meteor Fist, "Heavenly Fire Assault," to a level that even advanced martial arts would hesitate to face.

Advanced martial arts, in essence, were just more powerful. But if the power of intermediate martial arts increased several times, the gap was almost negligible.

"Crack... Crack..."

"Ah—"

Ling Chong screamed in agony as his arms were shattered by Ling Xiao's terrifying power. The impact sent his body flying.

"Thud!"

Ling Chong crashed into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes becoming dazed.

"Still alive?"

This power even surprised Ling Xiao himself. He was afraid he might have killed Ling Chong.

If he really killed him, Ling Jiu would definitely come to fight him to the death. After all, killing and injuring were two different things.

"No! Impossible! How could my advanced martial art lose to you? How could it!"

Ling Chong didn't die. He slid to the ground, struggling to stand, but his arms hung limp, unable to be raised.

He shook his head in agitation, unable to believe the result.

Another move!

Ling Chong was defeated by Ling Xiao again in one move!

The Ling family disciples present were all breathing heavily, tense.

This result was hard for them to accept.

In a battle between martial artists of the same level, although the outcome was unpredictable and anyone could win, being defeated in one move was too hard to accept.

Especially since the loser had cultivated an advanced martial art that was also strong in power.

"Good, you're still alive, so I won't stay. I need to go treat my grandfather."

Ling Xiao confirmed that Ling Chong was still alive and hurriedly left with the doctor.

His True Qi was already completely depleted. If anyone else provoked him, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Watching Ling Xiao leave, Ling Yixue's lips twitched slightly.

This result was also unexpected to her.

"Who would have thought that the combination of the Raging Qi Technique and the Meteor Fist could unleash a power even more terrifying than the advanced martial art Giant Spirit Palm! Ling Xiao might make a big splash in the annual competition."

"Senior Sister, what kind of black magic did Ling Xiao use? How could he defeat Ling Chong in one move?"

Watching Ling Chong being carried away for treatment, Ling Fei was extremely jealous.

Because Ling Xiao's one-move victory in front of Ling Yixue left a deep impression on her.

"Black magic? Humph, I advise you to focus on your martial arts training and stop daydreaming. Your talent is good, and if you were more focused, you wouldn't have lost the lightness contest today!"

Ling Yixue said coldly, "Although both are at the second level of the Martial Vein, Ling Xiao's True Qi is more substantial than Ling Chong's, and he is good at combining martial arts. That punch just now included the Meteor Fist, Tiger Descending the Mountain Step, Raging Qi Technique, and Crimson Sun Technique. Who else could do that besides him?"

"This! How could Ling Xiao be so powerful? Has he been pretending all along?"

Someone asked.

"Probably not, he might have had a sudden enlightenment!" Ling Yixue shook her head.

"But where did he get so many intermediate martial arts?"

Another person asked.

"I'm not sure, but intermediate martial arts can be bought at the auction house. The few he cultivated are not exclusive, so it's normal."

Ling Yixue was a bit confused, but Ling Xiao's strength was undeniable.
