Chapter 88: The Power of One Hundred Baidu Martial Skills

  Time flies, and it has been a week since Xia Yan challenged the high-level arena master Fei Yun.

  The sun had just risen over the horizon, and the dew on the flowers and grass was still gently swaying.

  Xia family, in Xia Yan's small courtyard, Xia Yan sat cross-legged on the wide bed in the room, suddenly opening his sparkling eyes. In the dimly lit room, Xia Yan's eyes were like bright jewels.

  "Wow!"

  Xia Yan stood up from the bed, letting out a deep breath, his palms clasped together as his inner energy circulated through his meridians.

  "Rustling sounds"

  A sound like stir-frying beans came from Xia Yan's body, and the blood flowed rapidly in his meridians.

  "'Heavenly Winged Spear', has finally been fully merged with me." Xia Yan's mouth corners rose, the sharp glint in his eyes gradually fading away.

  He quickly moved a few steps forward with his feet and reached the wall, taking down the long sword hanging on the wall.

  "Whoosh!"

  "Humming"

  The long sword hummed lightly in Xia Yan's hand.

  Then, Xia Yan began to practice the Ling Luo Sword. The long sword instantly transformed into thousands of sword shadows, forming a layer of sword energy barrier around Xia Yan. If an ordinary person were to see Xia Yan practicing his sword skills at this time, they would probably only be able to see the dense and impenetrable sword energy, without even being able to catch a glimpse of the person inside.

  The more martial arts that Lingluo Sword fuses, the stronger it becomes. The current power of Lingluo Sword is comparable to the top-notch secret classics in human-level secret books. Even the "Nine Heavenly Funeral Sword" may not be able to compare with the current power of Lingluo Sword, let alone the unparalleled body-changing techniques contained within Lingluo Sword.

  Up until now, Xia Yan had never seen a martial skill that could compare with Ling Luo's swordsmanship.

  "After the Ling Luo Sword merged with the Heavenly Feather Divine Gun, it also merged those unconventional secret skills, and its speed will increase by a lot. However, merging unconventional secret skills now has little effect on improving the Ling Luo Sword." Xia Yan's thoughts turned around in her mind.

  "It's like I'm a container that holds martial skills, and before I refined the Human-grade Secret Manual 'Tianyu Shengong', the bottleneck was about the size of a thumb. So even if it was an unrefined secret manual, I had to slowly merge and absorb it. But now that I've refined the Human-grade Secret Manual 'Tianyu Shengong', this bottleneck has become as big as a fist, so merging unrefined secret manuals is much simpler."

  Xia Yan's eyes changed, and the long sword in his hand suddenly stabbed forward abruptly.

  "Slap!"

  At the tip of the sword, a sword energy that was invisible to the naked eye shot out and directly pierced through the door.

  "Huh?" Xia Yan's eyes widened in surprise.

  "I can actually wield sword energy!" Xia Yan looked at the long sword in his hand, and he was also extremely excited.

  He himself didn't think he could use sword energy. Just now, it was indeed a sword energy that shot out from the long sword and pierced through the front door.

  "Haha, I haven't even reached the realm of a spiritual master yet, but I can already force out sword energy! I'm afraid that from now on, no strong practitioner below the realm of a spiritual master will be able to defeat me, even if I don't rely on my physical skills. If I were to fight Fei Yun again right now, I could still defeat him with just my martial skills alone!" Xia Yan smiled confidently and slid his long sword into its scabbard with a 'whoosh'.

  "Xiaoyan's brother, what happened?"

  In the bungalow, Xiao Qing heard the noise outside and couldn't help but sneak out, asking in a tense voice.

  Xia Yanlian said: "It's okay, I'm practicing swordplay, Xiao Qing, you hurry back and don't catch a cold."

  The heavy dew in the early morning already had a considerable chill, and Xiao Qing was just an ordinary person who couldn't compare to cultivators. In this season, she was most likely to get sick.

  Xiao Qing heard Xia Yan's voice and felt at ease, responding with a crisp "yes" before walking back to the boudoir with her lotus feet.

  Xia Yan felt a slight movement in the air beside him and quickly turned his gaze to see the old Holy Emperor emerging from the Ling Luo Seal.

  The Holy Emperor naturally knew that Xia Yan could already exert a hundred degrees of martial power.

  Upon seeing Saint Emperor Old Man, Xia Yan excitedly said: "Saint Emperor Old Man, I can now exert the power of my martial skills to a hundred degrees and condense the Spiritual Gathering Hole!"

  Thinking of becoming a Ling Master, Xia Yan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

  It's probably impossible for anyone to remain completely calm at this time. Besides, there are only Xia Yan and the old emperor here, so Xia Yan doesn't need to deliberately suppress his excitement.

  For this day, Xia Yan had worked hard for many days and nights, every day, sleeping only one hour, and spending all the rest of the time cultivating. It's probably impossible to find another cultivator in the world who can cultivate as desperately as Xia Yan.

  Of course, Xia Yan's cultivation of Ling Luo Xin Fa also allowed him to not need three to four hours of sleep every day like ordinary people.

  Now he finally saw the threshold of the Spiritual Master Realm, Xia Yan was naturally delighted.

  The old emperor shook his head, "Xia Yan, you are only one step away from the realm of the spiritual master, but this one step, depends on how you take it. Perhaps, you will never be able to take that step in your lifetime."

  The old emperor is not pouring cold water, he's telling the truth.

  The day after tomorrow, the peak, cultivators who have cultivated to 100 degrees of martial arts power on the Dragon Continent are countless and can't be counted at all. However, those who can form a Lingyun Cave and become a Spirit Master are only a very small minority.

  "Isn't it possible to concoct a medicine that can help me break through to the Spiritual Master realm?" Xia Yan looked at the old Holy Emperor in astonishment.

  Xia Yan naturally knew that the realm of the spiritual master was not so easy to reach, but the old holy emperor had already said that he could use medicine to assist.

  The old emperor shook his head again, "Medicines can assist you in breaking through to the spiritual master realm, but the key still lies in your own abilities. To achieve the spiritual master realm, one must have an unyielding determination and a strong physique. Xia Yan, you still need to temper your willpower. Hmm, are you prepared with the medicinal materials needed for concocting the medicine?"

  Xia Yan's heart sank, thinking that today was the day to pick up the medicine. He immediately said: "I've already asked Mo Kai from the auction house's pharmacy to prepare it. I have all the gold coins ready. Today is the date we agreed on, and he should be fully prepared by now."

  "Uh, first prepare the medicine, other things, I'll tell you slowly later. Tempering your will and skin is something that must be done. As for the tempering method, there are many kinds. Uh... I'll go back and think about it... think about it..."

  As they spoke, the old emperor's figure gradually faded away and returned to the Lingluo Ring.

  Xia Yan's mouth twitched slightly. He had originally thought that with the medicine ready, he could immediately charge at the Spiritual Master, but now it seemed that some more preparation was still needed.

  Standing alone in the room for a while, the sky outside had already turned white.

  "Never mind, I'll just focus on cultivating quietly. As for the realm of spiritual masters, it's not something that can be achieved in a hurry." Xia Yan's heart was clear and his thoughts were suddenly enlightened.

  That's right, this cultivation is not something that can be rushed. His current speed of cultivation has already reached an unbelievable level.

  If the Xia family head and elders knew that Xia Yan had already unleashed a hundred degrees of martial power, they would definitely be shocked and wouldn't dare to believe it was true. No matter how talented, no one could be talented to this extent!
