Chapter 2331 - 2334: Face-Slapping Is His Specialty!
If the Explosive Thunder Formula is the most terrifying secret technique against a single enemy,
then the Magma Storm is a large-scale terrifying destructive secret technique.
Even Ling Xiao had never cultivated the top-grade jade secret techniques before entering the Reincarnation Warriors.
It is evident that the resources of the Xuanwu Continent are indeed much stronger than those of the previous three continents.
When the Magma Storm reached small success, Ling Ruoxian’s voice came from outside the door.
"Junior Brother Ling, the assessment will start at dawn tomorrow. There are still some miscellaneous tasks to handle today. Have you finished your cultivation?"
"Finished!"
Just like martial skills, the proficiency of secret techniques needs to be continuously improved through combat. Fighting one’s Gemini Martial Spirit is indeed not as effective as fighting an enemy.
His cultivation had indeed reached a stopping point.
With his cultivation level reaching the late stage of First-Turn Second-Layer Hell, after using Beast Soul Transformation, his strength would surge to the early stage of First-Turn Third-Layer Hell.
And with the Advanced Thunder and Lightning War Body and Advanced Magma Combat Body combined, he can easily defeat a martial artist at the early stage of the First-Turn Third-Layer Hell cultivation level.
Although Sha Mo Yun has reached the peak of Third-Layer Hell, he is just an ordinary martial artist.
Ling Xiao was confident he could handle it.
As for Chi Ling’er, he didn’t take her seriously either.
Chi Ling’er relies on nothing more than the Advanced Red Demon Battle Body.
While he possesses two types of advanced battle bodies simultaneously.
Each is not inferior to Chi Ling’er’s Red Demon Battle Body.
"A Sha Mo Yun! A Chi Ling’er! You want to kill me, to prevent me from passing the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain assessment?
Fine!
Then I’ll make you fall into Asura’s hell, never to rise again!"
Ling Xiao has done such things more than once.
Red Yan Er, Sha Hai were the same.
Now it’s time for Chi Ling’er and Sha Mo Yun.
Only after advancing to the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain can he get closer to Ling Jiaojiao. By then, he will be more familiar with Ling Jiaojiao’s situation, and rescuing her will be easier.
Unlike now, where he is completely in the dark.
Ling Xiao rose this way before. As the saying goes, the bones pile up as a general triumphs, and with his rise, many so-called geniuses will become stepping stones for him.
Turning into stark white bones to build him a ladder to a higher realm.
...
This time, the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain assessment is managed by the Dark Clan, one of the Eight Great Families.
This is also the rule of the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain.
A reincarnation occurs every eight years.
Disciples promoted to the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain will join the Dark Clan except for those martial artists originally belonging to another family.
For instance, Sha Mo Yun, being from the Desert Clan, remains a Desert Clan member.
While Chi Ling’er, not being from one of the Eight Great Families, naturally joins the Dark Clan.
The same goes for Ling Xiao.
The Eight Great Families represent power and stronger strength; anyone joining the Eight Immortals Mountain aspires to get into it.
The disciples of the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain are the true core of the Eight Immortals Mountain.
Many sect secrets and most resources are accessible to the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain disciples.
This is something that Lower Eight Immortals Mountain disciples cannot compare with.
Because of this, martial artists joining the Eight Immortals Mountain always aim for the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain.
As for which family to join, it does not matter; entering the threshold of the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain is what’s important.
Unfortunately, most people will be eliminated.
Even losing their lives because of it.
This is the bloody reality.
Ling Xiao came out a day earlier to gather more information.
After all, the upcoming assessment is not just a test of strength but also a duel of wisdom.
Having enough information makes surviving easier.
On this day, the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master came personally, bringing along En Renfeng and Zhou Tong.
Both of them will participate in the upcoming assessment.
After all, regarding cultivation level, they were not lacking either.
Zhou Tong, seeing Ling Xiao, seemed somewhat apprehensive and afraid, standing at a distance.
En Renfeng, on the other hand, was more direct. Ever since Ling Xiao beat Sha Hai for his sake last time, he regarded Ling Xiao as a good friend.
This person is straightforward, a typical martial fool.
Though he is not a Reincarnation Warriors, his cultivation is now at the early stage of Third-Layer Hell, which makes him a standout even among the Lower Eight Immortals Mountain.
He came over and patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder hard, saying, "Senior Brother has just broken through. Last time you stood up against Sha Hai for me, this time, let me protect you."
Ling Xiao smiled noncommittally.
He appreciated En Renfeng’s good intentions, but with his current cultivation, he didn’t really need it.
Of course, declining someone’s goodwill outright isn’t too pleasing, so he said nothing.
Thinking back to when he first set foot on this Black Immortal Mountain, En Renfeng’s strength was something Ling Xiao could only look up to.
Even though he was a Reincarnation Warrior then, he was far from En Renfeng’s level.
The same went for Zhou Tong; Ling Xiao disliked him back then but couldn’t do much due to being weaker.
But today, Zhou Tong avoided him like a plague.
Perhaps it’s due to the guilty things he did before, which now make him scared.
"Among you three, my greatest hope is on Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao, your cultivation is still insufficient; the future is long, so participating in the assessment is enough.
You can gain some experience.
Next year you’ll have a bigger chance."
Actually, the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master knew that, whether it’s En Renfeng, Zhou Tong, or Ling Xiao, it’s unlikely for any of them to pass this assessment.
He just hoped that the three disciples from Hei Xianshan could preserve their lives.
As long as they didn’t die, there would still be hope next year.
Especially Ling Xiao, whose astonishing talent was incredibly shocking. He believed that, with sufficient time, Sha Mo Yun and Chi Ling’er could by no means be his match.
But now, the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master felt it was not yet possible.
Regarding the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master’s words, Ling Xiao merely smiled without refuting.
Because there was no need to.
Currently, he hid his true cultivation, showcasing only a First-Layer Hell Pinnacle level.
It was normal for the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master to think he couldn’t pass the assessment.
When the actual assessment starts, he would naturally reveal his real strength.
No need to rush.
He knew many people mocked and ridiculed him behind his back, seeing him as unpromising.
Like Chi Lian, the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain, and those like Sha Diao, Jian Liufeng, and others.
But so what?
Ling Xiao doesn’t need the approval of these people.
Slapping faces is his forte!
"Mountain Master, could you explain the specific rules of the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain assessment?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
The Hei Xianshan Mountain Master nodded and said, "Learning more about the rules is good, although you certainly can’t pass the assessment, but for survival, not understanding the rules won’t work.
You’ve all participated in the Lower Eight Immortals Mountain assessments, right? The rules are similar, but more complicated.
The scale is grander.
This assessment is also divided into two stages.
The first stage is known as ’Breaking Through the Sky Demon Mountain,’ and the second stage is ’Confronting the Sky Demon Peak’!"
