Chapter 2343: Chapter 2349: The Interrogation Results

Ran Qi discontentedly said, "I know, Qing Lin, your martial soul is one of the Ten Beasts of Great Wilderness, the Green Flood Dragon Beast."

"But I also have the Thunder Beast, one of the Ten Beasts of Great Wilderness."

"And I have the number eleven ranked Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear from the Ancient Divine Weapon List."

"I refuse to believe that my martial soul is inferior to yours."

"Xiao Yi." Ran Qi said, "Be honest, let me hear your thoughts."

Xiao Yi smiled, "Alright, I’ll be honest, it’s truly hard to compare."

"As I’ve said, there’s no such thing as a useless martial soul, only a useless martial artist; everything is possible."

"However, when it comes to Qing Lin alone..."

Xiao Yi chuckled, "The Ten Beasts of Great Wilderness, each one, indeed, is an extremely strong martial soul."

"Except for the Green Flood Dragon Beast."

"What do you mean, ’except for the Green Flood Dragon Beast?’" Qing Lin’s eyes widened.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yi, don’t speak nonsense."

"In the past, when we trained side by side, you saw my strength firsthand."

Xiao Yi took a sip of hot tea and said, "Listen to me first."

"The Ten Beasts of Great Wilderness, each as a martial soul, can grant the martial artist a significant boost."

"Moreover, each beast has its unique qualities and skills."

"The Desert Shadow Spider, the Thunder Beast, and so on grant martial artists fierce attacking power."

"But, the Green Flood Dragon Beast is indeed an exception."

"The Green Flood Dragon Beast is the most unique; its Green Flood Dragon Core is a substantial bonus for a martial artist."

"Or simply put, the Green Flood Dragon Beast’s boost doesn’t focus on combat but on the martial artist’s cultivation."

"Of course, it doesn’t mean the Green Flood Dragon Beast is not good at fighting; it’s just relatively speaking."

"In the past, during our training, the enemies we encountered had average martial souls, not particularly strong."

"Naturally, you were able to crush them effortlessly."

"But when compared with the other nine of the Ten Beasts of Great Wilderness, the Green Flood Dragon Beast indeed provides the least attack boost as a martial soul."

"Yet you’ve witnessed." Xiao Yi paused for emphasis, "Without the support of a major force, only with the help of a vice dean."

"In terms of cultivation resources, foundation, etc., you don’t compare to the Eighteen Mansions’ talents, or even the talents of Hidden Forces."

"Yet you managed to keep pace with Ran Qi’s cultivation and even look down on most Hidden Genius."

"This is the cultivation speed granted by the Green Flood Dragon Beast martial soul."

"Logically, your combat power should be enough to stand out among ordinary Heavenly Talents and Monsters; but it’s not as enhanced as Ran Qi and Murong Lingyun’s martial souls."

"Yet unexpectedly, Senior Cloud Abyss and Senior Hui Wushi’s Blood Cloud Holy Pill have compensated for everything."

Xiao Yi took another sip of hot tea, organizing his thoughts.

"Firstly, the Green Flood Dragon Beast martial soul is adept at calling the wind and rain, controlling clouds and fog."

"You can imagine, your Green Flood Dragon Beast martial soul aligning with the Cloud Abyss Swordsmanship."

"Moreover, the Green Flood Dragon Beast’s only attack ability lies in its sharp Gang Wind, capable of slicing through almost anything."

"This perfectly matches Senior Hui Wushi’s Blood Realm Swordsmanship."

"Understand, the Blood Realm Four Forms are among the sharpest sword skills within a single attribute."

"Thus, your Annihilation Wind combined with the Blood Realm Swordsmanship, revered for its attack power, raises your combat strength to fearsome levels."

Beside him, Xia Yiming attentively remarked, "Cloud Abyss Sword and Hui Wushi? Two former Killing Gods of the Central Region?"

"I’ve heard of them, quite remarkable Sword Cultivators."

"But their cultivation..."

"Not high." Xiao Yi nodded, "But it doesn’t mean their swordsmanship isn’t strong."

"Except for the Hidden Forces, those two had already traversed the Central Region, earning their title as Killing Gods."

Xiao Yi turned back to Qing Lin, "Senior Cloud Abyss and Senior Hui Wushi, their own cultivation realms are not high, so the Martial Arts Saint Pill is also limited in power."

"Therefore, you’ve long since absorbed the Blood Cloud Holy Pill."

"But the true value of the Blood Cloud Holy Pill lies not in its power, but the attribute it carries."

"Though the Blood Cloud Holy Pill is thoroughly digested, its attribute remains and harmonizes with your martial soul."

"The Green Flood Dragon Beast absorbs the power of the Blood Cloud, with Cloud Abyss’s defensive ability and Blood Realm’s offensive capability, becoming virtually one of the strongest combat boost martial souls."

"Honestly speaking," Xiao Yi smiled, "Qing Lin, your current burst in combat strength, even I might have to handle it seriously."

"So then..." Qing Lin suddenly adopted a serious demeanor, "Am I now qualified to fight alongside you once more, Junior Brother Xiao Yi?"

Qing Lin abruptly shed his previous joking expression, utterly serious.

Long ago, his reason for growing stronger was not fearing the Black Cloud.

Xiao Yi smiled, "I can only say, one day, yes."

"Is my cultivation still too low?" Qing Lin asked unwillingly.

"Not low." Xiao Yi shook his head, "In terms of cultivation, sufficient to rank among the Supreme Monsters; in terms of power, few young contemporaries can defeat you."

"It’s just that I’ve set my goals too high."

"My opponents have never been the young ones of this generation."

"Yet I don’t deny your martial arts path will lead exceptionally far, possibly equalling or surpassing mine."

"But, not now."

"So as I said, this day will inevitably come, just not now."

Qing Lin’s fist clenched, "This shows I’m not working hard enough yet."

"I..."

Xiao Yi interrupted, "The tea’s gone cold, let me heat it."

Boom...

A wisp of flame emerged from his fingertips, enveloping the teapot.

In a short while, steam billowed from the teapot.

Ran Qi smirked, "Fire Control Warrior, truly convenient."

Xiao Yi smiled, "Tomorrow we will enter the Demon Domain."

"You two should consider if anyone might come to challenge you for a spot before tonight."

"What about you two?" Qing Lin asked.

Xiao Yi laughed, "Yiming doesn’t need mentioning, everyone fears him by three degrees."

"As for myself, I just beat that demon beast, probably no one will cross me."

"As for you two... heh, trouble is coming."

"Hmm?" Qing Lin and Ran Qi frowned instantly.

Outside the mansion, sudden uproar arose.

"I’ll go take a look." Xia Yiming’s expression turned cold.

"It’s disrespectful to make noise around the Palace Master’s resting place."

"The two of us will go too." Qing Lin said, "Seems they’re targeting us."

Xiao Yi smiled and also stood up.

The four of them walked out of the mansion.

Sure enough, more than ten Hidden Genius had gathered here.

"Ha, we thought you two were cowards who wouldn’t dare come out."

"Hmm?" Xia Yiming’s expression chilled.

The more than ten Hidden Genius’s faces instantly changed, hurriedly waving their hands, "We didn’t mean you, Xia Yiming."

Xiao Yi glanced over.

The group of ten-plus suddenly altered their gaze, "Didn’t mean you, Xiao Yi young... no, Master Xiao Yi."

They looked towards Qing Lin and Ran Qi, "Disciples of the Black Cloud Academy, Qing Lin, Young Master of the Heavenly Spear Mansion, Ran Qi, are you willing to accept our challenge?"

"Solo or group fight?" Qing Lin said succinctly.

The group of ten-plus coldly replied, "Hmph, we wouldn’t stoop to bullying with numbers."

"According to the rules of the contest, one-on-one combat."

"Don’t think Xiao Yi and Xia Yiming can protect you two."

"No need." Ran Qi shrugged.

"Hm." The ten-plus coldly snorted, "Just two secular Heavenly Talents..."

At that moment, a member of the Black Annihilation Army hurried over.

"Master Xiao Yi."

"The interrogation results are in, the Second Commander asked me to inform you."

"What are the results?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Uh..." The Black Annihilation Army member frowned.

"I’ll go with you for a bit." Xiao Yi calmly said.

"Much obliged, Master Xiao Yi." The Black Annihilation Army member saluted and gestured for him to proceed.
