Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul-Chapter 510 -

After Ling Xiao’s victory over Bai Feifei, the selection tournament had also completely entered its final stage.

Following a few more battles, the final forty spots were at last selected.

Together with ten seeded players, that made fifty people in total who were qualified to enter the Moon Blossom Pagoda.

Among the people Ling Xiao knew, including Dai Yuling, Zhao Zhi, Shangguan Lei, Leng Hao, Ming Tian, Bai Feifei, Wu Yang, and Qin Wu, all smoothly earned their qualifications.

Of course, Zhao Zhi truly owed his success to Ling Xiao’s secret assistance; otherwise, he would have really been eliminated.

Because of this, his admiration and respect for Ling Xiao grew even stronger.

Among the other ten seeded players, Ling Xiao only knew two—Shen Tian Lin and Tantai Lingzi.

The trouble was, his relationship with both of them wasn’t very good.

However, Ling Xiao only frowned briefly before dismissing the thought from his mind.

He had already offended Bai Feifei, and these two were even weaker than she was; what was there to fear?

If anything, he would just need to be a little more careful after entering the Moon Blossom Pagoda.

Of course, simply having a spot was just that—despite fifty people now having the chance to enter the Moon Blossom Pagoda, who knew how many would truly gain any benefits inside?

Probably not more than ten.

“In the next three days, the sect will host the Moonlit Festival to celebrate.

You fifty may rest well and make preparations.

On the morning of the fourth day, gather here once more; whoever is late will forfeit their right to participate in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony!”

The authoritative and cold voice of the Moon Glorious Sect Leader, Chang Yueying, echoed across the field.

To be a Sect Leader, one did indeed need to possess such authority, or else how could one command respect?

That said, a wave of powerful presences began to depart one after another.

…

The battle for qualification had ended, and naturally, there were those who rejoiced and those who grieved.

The individuals who had not secured a spot looked crestfallen, with some even weeping bitterly.

Because they were all too aware, the earlier one participated in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony, the more they could get ahead of other disciples.

“Senior Brother Ling, I am eternally grateful; without you, there’s no way I could have had this opportunity,” said Zhao Zhi, feeling as if he was in a dream.

Out of all fifty people, his cultivation level was the weakest.

Even among those who had been eliminated, there were many whose cultivation was stronger than his.

Yet he had qualified.

This was, of course, thanks not just to his own efforts but even more so to Ling Xiao’s help.

Without Ling Xiao, he firmly believed he would have never made it this far.

Becoming friends with Ling Xiao was the smartest thing he had done since he was born.

Although he had some disputes with Ling Xiao when he first joined the sect, thankfully, as a member of the Royal Family and a smart person aiming to inherit the throne, he wisely chose not to escalate those conflicts, and even gradually grew closer to Ling Xiao.

Although we’re not yet bound by a life-and-death friendship, we are definitely very good friends now.

Had it not been for Ling Xiao’s secret guidance in Martial Arts and the gift of the Martial Arts Secret Books, I would never have reached this point.

Furthermore, at today’s competition, it was obvious that someone targeted me, and it was resolved by Ling Xiao.

This kindness isn’t something I can easily articulate; I will remember it in my heart.

Although I also have a master, and this master is none other than the Divine Sky Heavenly Venerate, the Hall Master of the Inner Sect Hall, my imperial uncle.

But the Divine Sky Heavenly Venerate has too many disciples to be able to instruct me in the martial arts personally; Ling Xiao rather seems more like a master to me.

The thoughts in Dai Yuling’s heart were pretty much the same as Zhao Zhi’s.

In fact, the kindness Ling Xiao had shown her was far greater than that he had shown to Zhao Zhi.

When she was in the Outer Sect, her Martial Soul was forcibly destroyed by someone, and it was Ling Xiao who helped her take revenge and bestowed upon her a stronger Martial Soul.

She smiled bitterly in her heart, perhaps only if she devoted her life to Ling Xiao she might repay his benevolence.

Walking together with them was also a Zhao Ci.

In Zhao Ci’s heart, strong resentment twisted.

She couldn’t understand why Ling Xiao, a man who stopped at nothing, kept getting stronger, while she, a kind person, repeatedly faced setbacks and was even nearly killed by someone she once helped.

She was truly starting to doubt society now.

The beliefs and worldviews she had upheld all this time crumbled to ashes.

Of course, the one who was probably most envious was Ming Tian.

Back then, at Master Baiyun’s place, he was firmly above Ling Xiao, but now, Ling Xiao was capable of defeating Bai Feifei.

Though the biggest reason was that silly woman Bai Feifei was too foolish.

But the fact that Ling Xiao’s Cultivation Level was even stronger than his was something Ming Tian found tough to accept.

His eyes, fueled by fierce jealousy, turned a blood-red color.

“First Elder, I agree to your request and am willing to follow your arrangements, to do that thing!”

Ming Tian looked at Elder Jin and said through gritted teeth.

“Are you sure?

Once you do that thing, you will lose the nature of humanity, even possibly your emotions, transforming into an existence no different from a Ferocious Beast!”

Elder Jin narrowed his eyes and asked.

“Even if I become a Ferocious Beast, I want to be stronger than him!”

Ming Tian emphatically nodded.

“Alright, since you have made up your mind, then follow me!”

…

After separating from Zhao Zhi and Dai Yuling, Ling Xiao went to see Yang Dan Lin, for there were some details about the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony he was still unclear about and needed to ask the old Hall Master.

“Hahaha, you’re really something, little guy, even defeating that girl Bai Feifei.

But you also need to be careful.

What happens inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda is invisible to those outside, watch out for her treachery!”

Initially, Yang Dan Lin laughed heartily, very pleased, but his expression soon turned serious.

“Rest assured, Elder Yang.

If Bai Feifei stays out of my way and doesn’t provoke me, nothing will happen.

Otherwise, once she comes out, she’ll be a cripple!”

Ling Xiao said coldly.

“Heh, you must’ve used some trick on her, eh?

Never mind, you don’t need to go into specifics, as long as you are safe,” Yang Dan Lin said with a smile.

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re here about the details of the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony, right?”

“That’s right.

What exactly will we encounter during the ceremony, and how is the performance evaluated?” Ling Xiao asked.

The ceremony is held once a year, so naturally, the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony also happens annually.

Having participated three times himself, Yang Dan Lin would certainly know some of its secrets.
