Still As A Mountain      

"No, quick! More people go up!"

Noticing an issue with the protective wall, Ling Xiaotian hastily shouted.

Several experts of the Ling Clan rushed over and did their best to stabilize the wall, preventing it from falling apart.

If this terrifying gang qi shockwave hit the surrounding disciples, any disciple below Rank Five Martial Vein would be seriously injured.

"He actually blocked that!"

This time, even Ling Xiaotian was surprised.

He had already regarded Ling Xiao highly, but he had truly never expected Ling Xiao to actually block Ling Feifan's spear attack.

"No, it wasn't just blocked!"

Even after the flames dissipated, Ling Feifan still staggered back. His spear trembled; he had obviously suffered a loss once more.

As for Ling Xiao, he stood at the same spot.

However, honestly speaking, it had been not easy for him this time. After forcibly using strength at Peak Rank Four Martial Vein realm to block Ling Feifan's attack, his opponent's strange purple flame had actually invaded his body.

Although he had cultivated <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> and wouldn't soon receive burn damage, he was actually unable to extinguish this purple flame.

Fortunately, pure cold-qi energy emerged from the gold liquid he had previously placed in his martial soul and extinguished the purple fire.

"This is impossible! How can it be!"

Ling Feifan couldn't believe it. He had taken out his spear, but his opponent remained undefeated.

No, his opponent hadn't even moved from his original spot.

How was this possible?

"Kill——!"

Ling Feifan was unable to endure this situation. Nevertheless, in that attack, he had only used 80% of his power; he had yet to reveal his full power because he had felt that it would be enough to defeat Ling Xiao.

However, the results were unexpected.

Now, he didn't plan to hold back and would use all his power.

"100% power! Purple Flame Everlasting Spear!"

It was the same move, but mobilizing all his power made this attack much stronger than before.

Many in the audience shed sweat for Ling Xiao. However, he smiled.

"Is he stupid? Why is he smiling?"

"Boom——!"

In the next moment, they finally understood.

"Rank Five Martial Vein realm!"

Patriarch Ling Xiaotian, the judges, and the other Ling Clan higher-ups' expressions greatly changed.

Had Ling Xiao actually concealed his strength before?

When everyone thought that he had tried his best, he surprised everyone once more! This unqualified disciple seemed to be a deep well filled with countless tricks.

"This kid has truly convinced me!"

Ling Yihang bitterly smiled while shaking his head. If Ling Feifan were a genius, Ling Xiao was simply a monster!

A monster above the Ling Clan and all other geniuses!

The audience seethed in excitement.

In fact, Ling Xiao was also very excited. He had finally encountered an opponent who had forced him to use his true Rank Five Martial Vein cultivation.

Ling Feifan's attacks were powerful. Each move filled with even greater vigor.

Among those present, other than Ling Xiaotian and a handful of elders, no one had the confidence to take such attacks head-on.

On the martial stage, a shadow flitted back and forth, leaving behind only afterimages.

Another figure stood as still as a mountain.

I'll let you attack crazily! I'll let your flame explode. But my golden body will not be broken! Ling Xiao's sturdy back seemed to say. Moreover, his golden light grew even more radiant.

"This… is truly amazing!"

"Yes, what a terrifying defensive martial art! Isn't he invincible? If his defenses can't be broken, who can win against him?"

"This is definitely a match between the strongest attacker and defender!"

"Definitely!"

Ling Xiao nearly laughed upon hearing these people's words.

The strongest attack?

He had yet to make a move!

15 minutes passed!

Ling Feifan's mental state had turned chaotic. Ling Xiao had previously claimed that he would stand still and give him an hour to attack, yet he would remain unscathed without a single damaged hair.

At that time, he had thought it laughable.

Now, he truly panicked.

What made him more depressed was that Ling Xiao seemed to fear that he wouldn't realize the ticking time and intentionally warned him when 15 minutes had passed.

30 minutes passed!

The battle remained the same, with one attacking, one defending.From the beginning, Ling Xiao had never counterattacked.

"No way! Is it possible that Senior Apprentice Brother Feifan truly will be unable to damage even a hair of Ling Xiao's after an hour?"

"This Ling Xiao is too scary. He is truly doing what he said. Does he actually plan to endure for an hour?"

"I think he will. After all, 30 minutes have already passed."

"As I see it, it's not that he doesn't want to fight back but that he can't. How can he fight back under Senior Apprentice Brother Feifan's oppression?"

Although some people insisted that Ling Xiao could not defeat Ling Feifan, the majority no longer doubted his strength.

Being able to stand against Ling Feifan for half an hour without injury represented terrifying capability in itself.

At the rank two-seat, blood flowed from Ling Yun's mouth as he crazily muttered: "Impossible! This is impossible! How can it be!"

He then suddenly yelled, "Ling Feifan, you bastard, why are you playing around? Still not knocking that trash off the stage?"

On the other side, Ling Shisan vomited blood in anger.

"This kid, not only was he not killed, but his strength was also improved to such an extent! Why is God so unfair? Why does this kid deserve such generous treatment?"

Now, he was a little frightened. Even if he personally made a move, he might not be able to kill Ling Xiao.

His best chance to get rid of Ling Xiao had already passed.

Once Ling Xiao won first place in the finals, the entire Ling Clan would protect him. At that time, whoever dared to touch Ling Xiao would become the enemy of the entire clan.

He hated this!

Ling Jiu was also very upset. He regretted that he hadn't personally killed this kid before, letting him grow to this stage.

45 minutes!

Ling Xiao quietly counted the time.

Ling Feifan's attacks gradually weakened.

Although his initial attacks had indeed been very powerful and required careful concentration to block, Ling Xiao was currently at ease. Originally, he had depended on the powerful analysis ability of his Landscape Martial Soul.

However, Ling Feifan had used up his gang qi.

No, he shouldn't underestimate his opponent!

Ling Xiao remembered when he had been surrounded in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range.

Until the last moment, he should never underestimate an enemy.

Ling Feifan was the number one genius of the Ling Clan and must have other hidden trump cards.

"My god, will an hour end just like this?"

In the judge seats, some judges had begun to worry for Ling Feifan. After all, it was unsightly to lose like this.

"Humph, do you all think that it is so easy to defeat Ling Feifan? The reason I always take his side is not that I have any relation with him. I just feel that he is worth nurturing."

A judge snorted, looking at the martial stage. He could still clearly remember that exceptionally beautiful spear he had once seen.

Swish!

Suddenly, Ling Feifan who had been furiously attacking at full strength disappeared from the martial stage!

"Ling Xiao, you are good! Truly very good. You can take pride in forcing me to this extent. However, you will bleed for certain in the next move. You will either be severely injured or die. It is not too late to admit defeat!"

Ling Feifan's voice resounded from all directions, making it impossible to discern his position.

"Feel free to come! I've been waiting for this spear attack a long time!"
