Chapter 48: The Family Rivalry Begins

Ling Jiuqiu's Spirit Devouring Python Martial Soul has already been promoted to the middle grade of the Xuan level, and now it is only a thin line away from being upgraded again.

According to Ling Jiuqiu's prediction, if he devoured one or two more martial spirits, he would be able to upgrade smoothly.

Merely.

Judging from Ling Jiuqiu's devouring experience of more than a dozen times, he found that only martial souls of the same level or stronger had obvious upgrade effects.

For example, the upgrade of the Xuan-level Spirit Devouring Python requires devouring a martial soul at or above the Xuan-level level.

The higher the level, the better the effect.

If the devouring target is only a yellow-level martial soul, no matter how many there are, the effect is not obvious enough.

It's like when he first ordered Jiuqiu to hunt fierce beasts in Changdu Mountain, he devoured the souls of ordinary fierce beasts, which was a lower level devouring object than the yellow-level martial spirits, and he devoured at least a hundred of them before upgrading the spirit devouring python from the yellow-level upper grade to the lower grade of the Xuan level.

And when fighting in the ring in the Bafang Martial Arts Arena.

After killing less than ten people, the Spirit Devouring Python was upgraded from the lower grade of the Xuan level to the middle grade of the Xuan level.

Among them, there is not only a quantitative difference, but more importantly, a qualitative difference.

According to Ling Jiuqiu's summary.

The higher the level of the martial soul, the more condensed and purified it is, and the power of the martial soul refined by the soul refining tripod is naturally more refined and the upgrade effect is better.

As for the low-level martial soul, its nature is mixed and vain, and the power of the martial soul after refining is not pure enough, and if it is used to upgrade, the efficiency is naturally much lower.

Thankfully.

The fighters in the Bafang Martial Arts Arena are all strong in the same level, but yellow-level martial souls are relatively rare, and most of them are Xuan-level martial souls.

For the current Ling Jiuqiu, it is the most suitable object to devour.

After a martial arts fight.

Ling Jiuqiu hurriedly returned to the cultivation room and swallowed the last bottle of Qi and Blood Pill in one gulp.

"In actual combat, the improvement of martial arts skills is really faster!"

He closed his eyes, recalled the feelings he had felt during the battle, and practiced swimming again and again on the open field.

In the first half of the battle just now, although Ling Jiuqiu activated the martial spirit, it was only used to prevent accidents, in fact, he was completely fighting with a combination of martial arts.

This is also the first time that Jiuqiu has abandoned the advantages of martial arts, and the actual combat based on martial arts has given him a deeper understanding of the two martial arts.

Especially the swimming fish body method.

In two minutes, he dodged at least more than 200 attacks from the other party, and each time it was full of dangers, which made him can't help but tense every nerve and cheer up every bit of spirit.

Such a tense battle is much more effective than simply rehearsing it a hundred times.

In the following time, Ling Jiuqiu only spent a small amount of time cultivating every day, and the rest of the time was mainly practiced in the body.

In between, there are two intense battles every day.

Time flickered, and a week passed.

this day.

Hundreds of people gathered here in the spacious martial arts arena of the Lingfu, and some people came from a distance one after another, gathering into the dense crowd.

Today is the annual family competition.

For the Ling clan, this is a more solemn day than the New Year, except for a few clansmen in special positions, the vast majority of clansmen will return to the clan on time.

Everyone chatted enthusiastically.

"Look, the young patriarch of the white dragon is here!"

With the exclamation of a person, many people turned their heads to look, and just saw a handsome young man with a thin body, accompanied by a burly man, walking slowly.

"This family competition, I'm afraid it's the stage of the young patriarch of the White Dragon alone, I heard that his cultivation has reached the fifth level of the true qi realm, plus the increase in the combat power of the heaven-level martial soul, it is absolutely invincible!"

"It's so wicked! He's only thirteen! ”

"In the previous family competition, the top-notch ones were all from the fifth or sixth level of the True Qi Realm, but most of them were fifteen or sixteen years old, and their bodies had begun to mature, so they had more advantages in the cultivation of the True Qi Realm, plus they had cultivated for two or three years more than the White Dragon Patriarch before they reached the same cultivation."

"In such a comparison, the talent of the young patriarch of the White Dragon is really unparalleled in the world!"

"Cut! If it weren't for the fact that the clan spared no resources to support him, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate so quickly. ”

A teenager said with a jealous look on his face.

"You don't have to be jealous, just having resources may not be able to cultivate so fast, otherwise those more powerful families are all supreme geniuses?"

Someone retorted dismissively.

"Resources are only one of the main factors that determine the speed of cultivation, and when the resources are also sufficient, what is compared is talent."

"That's right, you don't want to think about it, why does the patriarch only praise the young patriarch of the white dragon, not Ling Jiuqiu? is the same son, the two have different talents, even if they invest the same resources, the harvest is completely different. ”

Speaking of Ling Jiuqiu, someone asked in surprise: "I heard that he awakened his martial soul and killed Ling Guanghua before, but there has been no news since then, and I haven't seen him again, is something wrong?" ”

"I don't know, it seems that I was assassinated in the back, and I happened to be rescued, and I heard that I ran away from home after that."

"I heard that the level of his awakened martial soul is not low, but it is definitely not comparable to the young patriarch of the White Dragon."

"Even if the martial soul level is not low, what about it? offended the second lady and the young patriarch of Bailong, and the Ling clan had no place for him at all. ”

"His next days will only get more and more difficult, and maybe he will realize this and have fled the family."

In the midst of everyone's discussions, Ling Bailong gradually walked into the martial arts arena.

"Young Patriarch of the White Dragon, please come here!"

A subordinate respectfully welcomed him to the high platform beside him.

There were more than 20 Taishi chairs and a few long tables, on which were placed plates of delicate pastries and fruits.

This is a seat specially prepared for the upper echelons of the family and other forces who are invited to watch the ceremony.

Ling Bailong sat on the rightmost Taishi chair, his indifferent gaze swept over the martial arts arena below, and then quietly closed his eyes to recuperate.

The burly man stood quietly behind him.

As time passed, more and more people appeared in the martial arts arena, and representatives of several high-ranking family members and other forces also arrived one after another.

These forces who came to watch the ceremony were all friendly with the Ling clan, and even some subsidiary forces, and they were very polite in their conversations, and they all praised Ling Bailong.

Ling Bailong also responded politely.

That's when it happened.

Someone pointed at the sidelines.

"You see, Ling Jiuqiu actually appeared."

"I thought he really ran away from home, and I didn't expect the family Dabi to appear, could it be that he didn't mix well outside, and he came back to eat and drink?"

Someone deliberately laughed presumptuously.

"However, since he has awakened his martial spirit, he will definitely go to the ring later, and he will have a good show to watch then."

"He's only been awake for three months, and he can't be beaten half to death in the ring?"

"Why bother, come back and beg for hardship."

Everyone laughed and laughed, but they also knew that it was a special occasion for the family competition, and there were representatives of other forces watching the ceremony on the high platform, but no one dared to go over and provoke Ling Jiuqiu in person, which was a loss of face for the family.
