Chapter 45 (1/2)

Chapter 45 - Super-superior talent?!

Last time, it was Jiang Ren who brought Ling Dao here, allowing him to enter the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. This time, it was completely different. The Vice Sect Master Zhuang Xin personally brought Ling Dao here to award him with the t.i.tle of champion.

”We pay our respects to Vice Sect Leader!”

The last time they came, the two elders were too high up in the sky, and simply did not place Jiang Ren and Ling Dao in their eyes. But this time, even though Zhuang Xin had personally come, they were still extremely respectful. The vice sect master's position and strength were all much higher than theirs.

”Get up. This vice sect master has come for the reward of the first place in the outer sect compet.i.tion this time.” Take out the Qi Condensation Pill and Inferior Sword Style! ”

Zhuang Xin explained his purpose of coming, the two elders nodded, and then looked at the teenager behind Zhuang Xin. Upon seeing it, the two elders widened their eyes and disbelief could be seen written all over their faces.

”Vice Sect Leader, you're not going to tell us that the first place for the outer court disciple compet.i.tion is him, right?”

”What nonsense are you spouting? I'm guessing that this brat is only here to help the champion get the prize. Vice Sect Leader, you're saying it's a match?”

The last time Ling Dao had entered the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, was only two months ago. Furthermore, at that time, Ling Dao was only at the Bone Tempering stage, and the two elders did not take the fifteen year old Bone Tempering stage seriously.

”Hmm? Are you two old fools? If he wasn't the number one in the outer court, why would I, the Vice Sect Leader, bring him here? ”

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Xin was a little suspicious, it seemed like the two elders knew Ling Dao. However, he did not ask, since the two elders were only shocked, and did not have any enmity towards Ling Dao.

”How is it possible for him to be first?”

”Vice Sect Leader, it's not that we suspect you, but he just joined the Sky-splitting Sword Sect two months ago. At that time, he was only at the Bone Tempering stage, so how could he become the number one outer disciple?”

As they were speaking, they were also carefully sizing up Ling Dao. However, since the beginning to end, Ling Dao's expression was extremely calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

”Is that so?”

Even Zhuang Xin gave Ling Dao a deep glance. He had long since noticed the difference between Ling Dao and the other outer sect disciples. Whether it was Xia Xinyao, Teng Shaofeng or the others, they were all at the peak of the Physical Realm, and only Ling Dao had the cultivation of coagulation field.

Physical Realm was divided into three levels, body refining, bone tempering, and blood clotting. After that, blood, bone, and flesh merging into one, which was also known as the so-called peak of Physical Realm. However, Ling Dao wasn't at the peak of the Physical Realm, because he broke through to the coagulation field just a short while ago. Even if he had obtained the Qi Condensation Pill, he wouldn't be able to consume it now.

Originally, Zhuang Xin thought that Ling Dao's apt.i.tude was mediocre, but now, he didn't think so. In merely two months' time, he would be able to cultivate from the Bone Tempering stage to the coagulation field, and would be able to become the number one disciple in the outer sect. How could such a youth have poor apt.i.tude?

”At that time, when you tested his apt.i.tude, what was the result?”

When Zhuang Xin asked this, the two elders' expressions became ugly. Back then, they had never tested Ling Dao's apt.i.tude. At fifteen years old, the Bone Tempering stage, they had directly judged him to be an inferior apt.i.tude.

”This... To tell you the truth, we did not take the test at that time! ”

The two elders did not dare to lie and could only speak the truth. Even if they were to be punished by the vice sect master, they would admit it. If they were to be exposed on the spot by Ling Dao, they would only receive an even greater punishment.

”What's going on?”
