The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 64

Chapter 64: Lei Ju’s Provocation

You XiaoMo’s eyeballs spun one round, finally discovering a crucial point, “Can it be that the lifespans of mages is tied to cultivating the soul force?”

“That’s right.” Ling Xiao finally felt that he was not beyond redemption, actually able to figure this out. At least he was a teeny bit better than an idiot, “When mages refine magic pills, they have to stimulate the soul force in their body. So while refining magic pills, the body is also being cleansed. This soul force comes from your soul. Furthermore, the soul is the foundation of the body. As long as the soul survives, the body will also survive, understand?”

“Ling-shixiong, you’re so awesome. You even know these things.” You XiaoMo looked , starry-eyed, in adoration at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao seemed to be affected by his expression but immediately looked away calmly. He then haughtily ridiculed him, “That’s just because you’re too stupid.”

You XiaoMo immediately put away his foolish smile. He now realized that this person couldn’t be flattered. He wouldn’t even feel grateful after being flattered, “Ling-shixiong, as long as mages keep on refining magic pills and keep on training their body through their soul force, they will have an eternal life?”

Ling Xiao smiled slightly at him.

You XiaoMo wanted to smile back at him unconsciously , but he suddenly remembered that every time he smiled, it was not a good thing. So he immediately held it back. Of course, a second later, he heard a haughty voice ridiculing him. “Idiot! Of course not!”

You XiaoMo humbly asked for clarification, “Then what did it mean?”

Ling Xiao said seriously, “Not all mages can live forever and never grow old. This has to do with inborn talent. The higher the level, the longer the lifespan of the mage. The soul will also be stronger. When the soul gets strong enough, they can even attack other people.”

Hearing the last part, You XiaoMo’s eyes li t up. He had always thought that mages were weak people without any fighting power.

“Ling-shixiong, is what you said true? As long as the mage’s soul is strong enough, it can be used to initiate attacks on others? There is no need to wait for attack from others before striking back?” You XiaoMo said excitedly. He felt as if all the blood in his body was boiling.

“Of course, but it is only possible for high level mages.” Ling Xiao revealed a row of spotless white teeth towards him. He then looked on smugly as You XiaoMo looked as if he had just been splashed with a bucket of cold water. This expression excited him every time.

You XiaoMo was indeed splashed with water, not cold water, but ice water. It was really too damned unfair. His soul was green meaning his innate talent restricted him to a mid-level mage. A high level mage unfortunately would only remain a wishful dream for this lifetime. After all this talk, he finally found out that mages could have some fighting power , but he did not qualify. If he were to become a mid-level mage, he should already be burning incense and worshipping Buddha. After all, green souls were really not much of anything.

The battered You XiaoMo finally lost all interest in watching the competition on stage. It would only cause him to be envious.

By the time he finished his talk with Ling Xiao, the competition could be considered finished. Other than the second fight where the opponents were closely matched, the others were quite far apart in ability. For example, the fifth ranked disciple on the Central Lineage list versus the fiftieth ranked. This disparity was too wide so the winner and loser were quickly revealed.

From morning to the afternoon when the sun was almost setting, a total of twenty five fights were completed while You XiaoMo was in a daze.

Just when he was rapped on the head by Ling Xiao, he raised his head just in time to see something flying towards him. Immediately a cold sweat broke out all over his body. Just when he was trying to figure out what was going on, Ling Xiao sitting next to him gripped his collar and pulled him slightly to his side.

As for that unlucky fellow caught by no one, he flew straight into the chair that You XiaoMo had been sitting on.

Looking at the painful expression on the unlucky fellow, and the chair that was now in pieces, You XiaoMo was really grateful that Ling Xiao pulled him away in time. If not, suffering a blow like this, all the bones in his body would be broken, but …

You XiaoMo looked over to the arena. A competitor was standing on the edge of the platform. He had a gigantic body and his shoulders were almost twice the width of his. Not only that, the muscles on his exposed arm were super-exaggerated. This person was also a strength type competitor, and one that seemed even stronger than Zhou Peng. A square face with thick bushy eyebrows that looked as if they had been drawn with a brush. This was not a handsome man , but rather an extremely manly man!

It was just that his expression made You XiaoMo uncomfortable. A cold expression without any trace of emotion. It was as if he purposely threw his opponent at him, looking provocatively at Ling Xiao.

“Lin Xiao, I look forward to the day I get to fight you.” Lei Ju spoke slowly, raising the corners of his thick lips.

Ling Xiao adjusted his sleeves, raising his head to look at the giant from the corner of his eyes. The corner of his mouth rose slightly but his eyes remained indifferent. The target was standing on the platform and though much taller than Ling Xiao , he still gave off a sense of inferiority. Just like a ground beetle in the imperial palace. Even if it were to put on dragon robes, it would still remain only a ground beetle.

“Lei-shidi. Then I sincerely hope that you will be able to last till the end. It would be bad if you were pushed out halfway by someone else.”

“I will wish the same for you. I hope that you won’t be crossed out halfway. I really look forward to fighting with you.” Lei Ju smiled coldly. Incomparably self-confident. Other than Lin Xiao, he was the strongest man. But he was the perennial number two because each time they met in competition, Lin Xiao would always crush him.

After this, Elder Jiang stood out and announced the results of the competition. The next round of the competition would be held the next morning.

The sun started to set. The fiery red sun dyed half the sky red. WuShuang Mountain had always had a lot of clouds and as they were dyed red, the sky simply became a magnificent sight. Much more beautiful than the sights on Earth. You XiaoMo raised his head and couldn’t help letting out a gasp in admiration. Such a spectacular sight most probably would have never been seen on Earth.

Ling Xiao looked back at him who was looking up at the sky stupidly. His hands started to itch and he almost rapped him on the forehead, “Xiao Shidi, still not leaving? Are you going to spend the night here?”

Spend the night? You XiaoMo unconsciously looked over towards Tang YunQi. There was an ominous glint in the latter’s eyes, scaring him and causing him to immediately look away.

He would want to stay here overnight only if his head were slammed in between doors. Furthermore, he had an intuition that Tang YunQi was looking for an opportunity to deal with him. If he were to stay behind, he could guarantee that what appeared in front of everyone the next day would be You XiaoMo’s corpse!

On the way back, the other disciples bid goodbye to Ling Xiao one after another. In the end, the one remaining on the road with them, was the cold as ice Fu ZiLin. As for the one that should also be with them, Zhou Peng, not even a shadow could be seen. After asking Ling Xiao, he found out that Zhou Peng had earlier rushed off to go into closed-door cultivation .

” Ah , doesn’t that mean that Second Shixiong will be staying by himself?”

You XiaoMo nodded his head and suddenly realized an important matter. If that was the case, then was it possible for him to …

“Don’t even think about it.” The great Ling Xiao that saw through what he was thinking and immediately dismissed his wishful thinking.

“Why not?” You XiaoMo gripped his fists and said indignantly.

Ling Xiao looked at his puffed out cheeks and smiled slightly, “Because your Second Shixiong won’t share a room with you.”

Just as he said this, the door next door shut with a bang.

You XiaoMo, “…”

With this, You XiaoMo lost all hope after being soundlessly and ruthlessly rejected by Fu ZiLin.

The first day in the Central Lineage passed very smoothly for You XiaoMo. There weren’t many people who were injured in the first day of competition at the Central Lineage. Most of them had light injuries , so You XiaoMo’s talent was not put to use. Even if there was a chance, it would be taken away by disciples from Heaven and Flying Peak. Everyone also wanted to leave a good impression on the disciples of the Warrior Division. So compared to others, You XiaoMo was more lively that night.

Since he had already taken the Breatharian magic pill, You XiaoMo didn’t have to go out to eat. Ling Xiao already had no need to eat so he also didn’t go out.

You XiaoMo saw that Ling Xiao was meditating and had no time to bother with him. Thinking that he did not take a bath yesterday, he took out a set of clothes from his magic bag and entered his dimension. Before taking a bath, he plucked the mature magic herbs and placed them on the rack. He busied himself for over an hour ; because he was worried that Ling Xiao would wake from his meditation and upon finding him not there would think that he had gone out, You XiaoMo hurriedly took a bath and immediately left the dimension.

Once out of the dimension, You XiaoMo looked into the inner room. Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao was still meditating. You XiaoMo thought that since it was still early, he took out his cauldron. After all, Ling Xiao already knew his secret , so it didn’t matter that he saw it. After that , he took out three piles of ten stalks of magic herbs from the dimension. This time, it was material for the Spiritual Energy magic pill.

Even for level one magic pills, high grade magic pills required twice the amount of soul force during the refining process when compared to low-grade magic pills. You XiaoMo already tried it out the last time. When his soul force was full, he could refine three pieces of high grade magic pills in one go. Less than twice when compared to the amount of low grade magic pills. Even though the ratio was very different, as long as he diligently practiced, he would be able to refine more in the future.

Just when You XiaoMo was preparing to throw himself into refining magic pills, Ling Xiao opened his eyes in the inner room.
