Chapter 16: A Breakthrough Pill

“Okay, I will believe in Senior Apprentice Sister’s words. Then, senior apprentice brother Ling Fei, shall we start?”

“There’s no need to urge me!” Ling Fei glared.

They stood at the starting line with another two disciples of the Ling Clan roughly a hundred meters away.

Ling Fei and Ling Xiao would run to those two disciples and back. Whoever arrived first would be the winner.

This event didn’t focus on elegance or appearance, only speed.

At this moment, the crowd focused on Ling Xiao. He had already created two miracles before. They wanted to know if Ling Xiao would give them another surprise.

“Start!”

At Ling Yixue’s voice, Ling Fei and Ling Xiao, one like a soaring swallow and the other like a fierce tiger leaping down the mountains, rushed out simultaneously.

Merely, Ling Fei commanded the skies while Ling Xiao remained chained to the ground like a tiger.

“Hahaha, what the hell is this? Does he think that he is a tiger?”

“Truly unsightly!”

The disciples supporting Ling Fei loudly laughed.

Ling Fei was also delighted in his heart, but he didn’t have the time to watch Ling Xiao’s movements. He had to first seize victory.

But a moment later, the laughter ceased.

Although Ling Xiao’s movements were unsightly, even when chained to the ground and having to vigorously pound the earth, his speed was absolutely not inferior to Ling Fei’s.

When passing those two Ling Clan disciples, Ling Xiao and Ling Fei were almost tied, but Ling Fei was a bit faster than Ling Xiao was.

However, everyone knew that Ling Xiao had the Violent Qi Formula!

Even without using his Violent Qi Formula, Ling Xiao was actually almost keeping pace with Ling Fei. What if he used the Violent Qi Formula?

What would happen?

Whoosh—-!

A violent gust told them the answer!

When returning, Ling Xiao suddenly used the Violent Qi Formula, and like an arrow shot from a bow, he instantly arrived at the finish line.

He was much faster than Ling Fei!

“God… this! This fellow is too crazy!”

Someone stood up and cried out in alarm.

Even more people had dumbfounded looks! Many powerful disciples cooly considered this upcoming rival.

Having such a fast speed meant he would have a huge advantage in battle.

“How exactly did he accomplish this? Senior apprentice brother Ling Fei’s speed is already extraordinarily fast. He is definitely among the best disciples of the Elite Hall. How can this Ling Xiao be so definitively faster than he is!”

“This fellow is a monster! It’s only been two or three days since he first entered the Library Pavilion, but he was actually able to practice a movement technique to this extent……”

“This is impossible! Impossible!”

“How could I lose? How could I have lost!”

Ling Fei looked deathly pale as he fell to his knees.

Finished! The popularity he had painstakingly accumulated over so many years had been destroyed like this in a single day. Moreover, he needed to sacrifice a breakthrough pill as well.

Was Violent Qi Formula truly so powerful?

He doubted it. In fact, one of his elder brothers had once cultivated Violent Qi Formula just like Ling Xiao.

However, the facts had proved that although the Violent Qi Formula could indeed instantly increase one’s speed, power, and so on, its consumption was correspondingly huge, basically instantly consuming all one’s true qi.

What’s going on with Ling Xiao?

Ling Fei couldn’t understand his fearsome might.

He had used Violent Qi Formula three times in quick succession and still had surplus energy. Was this fellow a demon?

Regardless of whether he could understand it, the competition was over.

Ling Xiao had won. In fact, he had swept all three victories. Ling Fei had completely lost.

“This movement technique competition, Ling Xiao wins! Junior apprentice brother, you truly hid yourself well! Here, take this breakthrough pill!”

Ling Yixue took out a breakthrough pill and handed it to him.

She knew very clearly that if Ling Xiao had sought his breakthrough pill from Ling Fei, it was impossible for him to accept it. However, if she gave it to him like this, Ling Fei would be forced to compensate her later.

In fact, because their talents had been comparable when they had initially entered the Ling Clan, Ling Yixue had once paid attention to Ling Xiao.

Nevertheless, as the gap between them had grown, the chances of them contacting had also become fewer and fewer.

It was not until today that he finally resembled the high-spirited and energetic Ling Xiao of the past.

“Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Sister! Then everyone, can I take my leave now?”

When Ling Xiao accepted the breakthrough pill from her hand, his finger touched hers.

Stifling his shock, he nearly stumbled like he had been electrocuted.

That feeling was too special. Is this what a boy longing for a girl felt like? Did every boy get this feeling upon reaching a certain age?

Not bad! I truly want to hold Ling Yixue’s hand. It’s so soft, smooth, and warm.

This scene was seen by the onlookers with burning eyes. Ling Xiao faintly smiled at their fierce expressions before saying some words of gratitude. He then walked towards his courtyard.

Today’s matters were finally over. He truly couldn’t bear to waste any more time today since that doctor must have already become impatient.

The clan disciples that had originally blocked his path hurriedly stepped aside, opening a path for him.

This was the prestige of the strong.

Defeating Ling Fei was proof of his strength. Naturally, he would obtain this respect.

“Noble son, you are truly amazing!”

Not only was that doctor not annoyed, but he also gave Ling Xiao a thumbs up in admiration.

Ling Xiao forced a smile but said nothing. If only he were a beautiful little girl! Then, he wouldn’t have had to deal with all this hassle.

“Let’s go, Doctor. I have delayed you too much today. I will make sure to thank you with a gift later.”

“Where are you going, you trash?”

Upon enterin g the gate, he immediately encountered two people. One was Ling Jiu’s son, Ling Chong, that unlucky fellow whose ribs Ling Xiao had broken.

Ling Xiao hadn’t expected that this fellow would already be full of vigor in a couple days of recovery. He sighed. It seemed the clan truly played favorites.

“I just went to your place to look for you, but I didn’t find you. Very good! Since we’ve run into each other, let’s settle our old scores and new grievances! Last time, you couldn’t tell good from bad and schemed against this noble son. Today, I will beat you until you have to look for your teeth all over the floor! Oh, that’s right. I’d better break a few ribs too!”

Ling Chong’s face brimmed with vicious excitement. These past few days, he had stayed at home while nursing his injuries.

Every day, he had only thought about avenging himself!

Every day, he had thought about venting his rage on Ling Xiao.

Although his father had vented part of his anger in the Library Pavilion for him, that was not enough.

He wanted to personally defeat Ling Xiao and make Ling Xiao a fool in front of everybody!

Last time, he had been defeated in a single move, which had truly made him feel dejected in his heart. 

The person beside him was his cousin, a Peak Rank Three Martial Vein clan disciple.

Ling Chong had worried that Ling Xiao would flee upon seeing him, so he had brought him along for assistance.

“What’s going on?”

Ling Yixue also noticed the situation and couldn’t help but frown.

“Senior Apprentice Sister, you probably didn’t know this, but before entering the Library Pavilion, Ling Xiao once used a despicable method to defeat senior apprentice brother Ling Chong in a single move. Moreover, he also ruthlessly broke his ribs. This matter is senior apprentice brother Ling Chong’s revenge.”

“A despicable method?”

“Senior apprentice brother Ling Chong gave him ground, but this trash couldn’t tell good from bad and launched a surprise attack.”

“Do you all also believe such lies? When fighting with other people, when has Ling Chong ever held back?” Ling Yixue sneered.

Although she had a fairy’s demeanour, she also lived in this cruel, man-eating world. She was well aware of social snobbery and understood most circumstances within the Ling Clan.

What Ling Xiao had encountered, she too had encountered. Merely, because of her fast progress, she had encountered such matters comparatively fewer times.

She had already decided to help.

Ling Xiao had just exhausted a lot of his true qi in the competition against Ling Fei. Even if he could successfully resist his opponent, he might falter against the well-rested Ling Chong. 

However, unlike her, some were secretly very happy like Ling Fei who had just had his reputation besmirched by Ling Xiao.

The moment he noticed Ling Chong stopping Ling Xiao, an expression of schadenfreude appeared on his face.
