Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul

Chapter 249: Comprehending a Sword Move

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and walked through the stone door behind Elder White.

He discovered a completely different world beyond the stone door.

An old man sat cross-legged on the ground with a puppy beside him.

Although Ling Xiao couldnt see through the cultivation base of this old man, this old man was definitely a lot stronger than Elder White.

The old man sat cross-legged in the center of this circular room, surrounded by murals on which various figures from ancient times were depicted.

It was hard to count how many of these dense figures there were.

There were those with three heads and six arms;

those with a pair of wings on their backs;

those with three eyes;

those with bird heads and human bodies;

those with monkey heads

In any case, there were too many. No matter who looked at them, they would be dazzled.

These murals are the Sealed God Catalog. Those with high comprehension powers can comprehend something from them. This is also our test!

The old man indifferently said: This old man will ask, and you will answer. You have ten breaths of time to comprehend each question. If you answer it correctly, it will continue. If you cant answer it, then its over. One question is worth one point. Do you understand?

Understand!

Okay, lets start. First question: How many people are there in the mural?

This question was actually very simple for Ling Xiao. After entering the Enter Soul State, he would instantly get the answer.

365!

Ling Xiao replied.

The expression of the old man didnt change because it was not difficult to answer the first question. These ten questions would become increasingly harder.

Second question: how many types of martial art styles are displayed in the mural?

13,600 types!

When Ling Xiao said the answer, honestly speaking, even he was in disbelief.

365 people using 13,600 moves, how was this possible?

However, when he observed carefully, he noticed that this mural was clearly moving. But only when the soul was strong enough, would you be able to see it.

Not bad!

The old man finally took a look at Ling Xiao as if he were wondering how this boy was able to answer so quickly. Although some of the youths had also answered the first two questions before, they had spent almost all of their time.

Third question: How many tools are used in the mural, including weapons, hidden weapons, armors, etc.!

19,380,000 types!

Ling Xiao blurted out again.

Oh? So far, you are the first person to answer this question correctly. Many people before you forgot to look at the items in these peoples storage rings.

The old man was even more surprised.

The mystical aspect of Sealed God Catalog was that if your comprehension and soul powers were good enough, then you would be able to see the items in the storage rings too. Then, you would be able to answer the true amount.

Honestly speaking, this surprised Ling Xiao again. These 365 people had more than 10 million items, and the quality of each item was much better than his Floating Snow Sword. That truly was amazing.

Fourth question: how many people display a fire series profound meaning in the mural?

His question was obviously more difficult.

Because not only would you need to identify the profound meaning of these people but also be able to see through its attribute, which was impossibleif your understanding was not sufficient.

Six!

As before, Ling Xiaos answer was fast.

Eh?

Seeing Ling Xiao able to answer this question correctly, this old man was even more surprised.

He had presided over the test of Sealed God Catalog for many years. Even in the years when there had been no expanded recruitment, only a few people had ever been able to answer the fourth question. In any case, the number of people who could answer the fourth question wouldnt exceed ten in any test.

Fifth question: how many people display the thunder-series profound meaning?

25!

Ling Xiao paused for a bit before answering because the thunder-series was different from the fire series.

The fire-series profound meaning was a bit more obvious while the thunder-series profound meaning was relatively concealed. He could only wait for the moment when the mural moved to grasp the truth.

Surprised!

Absolutely surprised!

There was a look of excitement in the old mans eyes.

Even the puppy lying next to him barked twice.

How could he not be excited? The number of disciples who had been able to answer the fifth question had never exceeded one in any test. Sometimes, there would not even be one.

Ling Xiaos appearance was amazing.

Sixth question: you have to be careful. How many people in the mural have star-type martial souls?

This was indeed hard.

Martial souls were things that couldnt be seen if they were not displayed.

If you wanted to analyze it, then you had to inject your soul power into the mural, swapping pointers with the people in the mural until their martial souls were drawn out.

This time, Ling Xiao took a longer time.

After about eight breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes and said: 233!

This time, the answer was no longer important to him.

He suddenly discovered that after retracting his soul power, it had actually caused a huge change in the Landscape Map.

The original Landscape World had been just earth without sky, simply blackness. 

Now was different. At this moment, the sun, moon, and stars had actually appeared.

In addition, his Landscape Martial Soul had become stronger than before although it had not been upgraded.

The fusion between his soul and the Landscape Martial Soul had been further strengthened, reaching 20%!

At this moment, Ling Xiao could even sense the earnest expectations of this old man.

He couldnt help being surprised at heart.

Originally, he had just wanted to get full points in this test. However, it seemed that he couldnt continue now. If he truly got full points, he feared that something might happen.

Comprehension was not aptitude, but sometimes, it was even more terrifying.

Ling Xiao didnt want to cause a huge disturbance.

He decided to hold back a bit. Speaking about his current results, with full points in the first test, when combining his second tests score with the third tests extra points, it could be said that he had received full points in both tests.

Even if he didnt get full points in this test, it would be acceptable.

In fact, the full score of this assessment should be only 60% because the other 40% points were extra points: 20 for potential, 10 for fighting skills, and 10 for comprehension.

At present, only Ling Xiao and Leng Hao had gotten extra points.

Because Leng Hao had already been taken away by Golden Light Celestial Worthy, there was no competition.

Lin Xiao could get 56 points, which was enough to be recruited. Even if only three or four people were recruited, he would be qualified.

Therefore, there was truly no need to be flamboyant.

After thinking of this, when the old man asked the seventh question, Ling Xiao simply said that he didnt know.

Although he said that he didnt know, he had actually spent the ten breaths of time to comprehend the mural once more, receiving quite a reward.

The profound meaning in this mural was more exquisite than a Transcendent Martial Arts profound meaning.

Because of this, he actually grasped <Snow Lotus Sword Art>s third style, Freeze Water, as well as its fourth style, Ice Heart, instantly.

Ling Xiao was in disbelief.

In the past, he had worked so hard to grasp the first two styles. But now, he had completely grasped the third and fourth styles in an instant. He even had some ideas for the fifth style.
