C453 Surprise
"Oh, are you surprised?"
Qin Xiao smiled when he saw Ye Xu's surprised expression.
Ye Xu didn't deny it. Just the Taiping Mountain Ethereal Sect alone was already so big, and the seven Ethereal sub-schools that were similar to it should be world-shaking.
With his hands behind his back, Qin Xiao looked at Yunhai and said in a flat tone, "The real Ethereal Sect possesses a power that you can't imagine. This Taiping Mountain Ethereal Sect... No, even the combined strength of the eight sub-schools can't even compare to a finger of the true Ethereal Sect!"
"Hiss..."
Ye Xu was completely shocked this time.
When he first came to the Ethereal Sect, he was a little disappointed. Although the Ethereal Sect was huge, it was always different from what he had imagined.
Now, Qin Xiao actually said that the Ethereal Sect was only one of the eight sub-schools. Apart from shock, Ye Xu also had a yearning for it.
If even a sub-school was so powerful, how earth-shattering would the true Ethereal Sect be?
There was a trace of admiration in Qin Xiao's eyes.
"The true Ethereal Sect is only the beginning of the Heavenly Stage. Those geniuses are like clouds in the sky. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that. With the quality of the upper echelons here, I'm afraid that even the true servants of the Ethereal Sect... Not even qualified! "
"Is it that terrifying?!"
Ye Xu smiled bitterly. Although he was only at the second level of the Earth Stage, his true combat strength was comparable to an Earth Stage Eighth Layer, or even a ninth level Earth Stage.
However, in Qin Xiao's words, he was only slightly higher than the servant disciples.
The strength of the Ethereal Sect was simply unheard of.
"Don't think that I'm exaggerating. Actually, this is because I don't want to give you too much of a blow!"
Qin Xiao returned to his seat and looked at Ye Xu with a smile that wasn't a smile.
At first, Ye Xu was still shocked, but soon, only strong fighting spirit was left on his face.
"En, this is a man who is proud to the bone!"
Qin Xiao's eyes flashed, and he understood Ye Xu's character.
This kind of person was soft on the outside, but tough on the inside, and firm on the inside. He would definitely not be easily defeated.
A person with this kind of personality, even if his aptitude was slightly inferior, would still reveal his head and become an expert.
"Among the eight sub-schools, there will be a major assessment every year. The top three will participate in the battle exchange, and the winner will be rewarded by the Ethereal Sect's headquarters. Those are the true treasures that are rarely seen in the outside world! What do you think? Do you want it or not?!"
Qin Xiao looked at Ye Xu with a smile.
Ye Xu took a deep breath and smiled as well.
"To tell you the truth, I joined the Ethereal Sect for another purpose. Have you heard of it before?"
Qin Xiao nodded and said, "That's right. It's a rather famous family. Their strength isn't bad!"
Ye Xu shrugged and said, "I have killed many people from the Fang family!"
"So, you want to borrow the strength of Ethereal Sect to deal with the Fang family, right?"
"That's right!"
"Hehe, that's simple. As long as you get first place in the Eight Sects Gathering of Martial Arts, you have the right to ask the Ethereal Sect to do one thing. A mere Fang family is nothing in the eyes of the Ethereal Sect! "
Qin Xiao said without a care in the world.
Ye Xu's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Alright, I promise you!"
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Don't agree so quickly first. It's still uncertain whether you will get first place or not! Among the core disciples, Huo Lie, you have already exchanged blows with him. How is his strength?"
Speaking of Huo Lie, Ye Xu's expression became serious. If it wasn't for the mutation of his Martial Spirit, which allowed him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to increase his strength, it was really hard to say who would win and who would lose in his battle with Huo Lie.
" Very strong. I also barely won the battle! "
"En, at least you know your own limitations. Actually, your cultivation base is in the rotation stage. You're far from being as strong as Huo Lie, but your cultivation technique is a little strange. Plus, even I can't see through your Martial Spirit. The combination of the two had caught Huo Lie off guard. By the time he realized what was going on, I guess I'll have to fight you head on! "
Qin Xiao said with a smile.
Ye Xu nodded. He did not deny it.
"Above Huo Lie, there are three more who are stronger than him. Bu Qingchen is one of them!"
"She?"
Ye Xu was stunned when Bu Qingchen was mentioned.
"Her cultivation base is not bad, but compared to Huo Lie, it seems..."
Qin Xiao smiled and shook his head. "You are wrong. Bu Qingchen's cultivation base is not as high as Huo Lie's, but in a real fight, Huo Lie is not her match, because she is a martial artist with two martial spirits! Furthermore, she can achieve dual soul fusion! "
"What? Dual martial souls?!" Ye Xu opened his mouth wide.
Some warriors with great fortune would awaken their second Martial Spirit by chance.
However, the second Martial Spirit would usually clash with the first Martial Spirit, or the second Martial Spirit would be weaker, thus it would not be able to exert much of its power.
Among the two Martial Spirits, there were always a few people who were blessed by the Heavens who had achieved the stage of merging two Martial Spirits.
Compared to a single Martial Spirit, the power of two Martial Spirits was more than double, it was simply terrifying.
This was the power of one plus one, which was far greater than two. It could even be four or five times stronger, and it would also produce some special changes.
"She awakened her second Martial Spirit a long time ago, and it finally merged not long ago. Of course, I can't tell you what her second Martial Spirit is! If you have the chance, you can fight her, or she can tell you! After all, she has a good impression of you!"
Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes.
However, the way Ye Xu looked at Qin Xiao became more and more strange.
"Sect Master, you..."
Ye Xu said with a bitter smile.
"Alright, it's just a joke. Of the remaining two people, one is your old friend, the Overlord Association's Elder Wang Ba, and my disciple, Xingjian Sword Star!"
"Wang Ba!" Hearing the familiar name, Ye Xu's eyes turned cold.
"That's right. His strength can be said to be the undisputed number one in Ethereal Sect. Even Jian Xing and Bu Qingchen wouldn't dare to confront him head on!" Qin Xiao took a sip of tea.
"If you want to get first place, you must defeat the three of them!"
Ye Xu looked at Qin Xiao with a strange expression.
"Why didn't you choose Sword Star? Since he is your disciple, you should know him better!"1
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "There is no special reason. I just like you a little! That kid is very arrogant. It is not bad to have someone teach him a lesson!"
Ye Xu said speechlessly, "Alright. Since that's the case, then I can only be impolite!"
Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Alright. I will go and talk to Wang Ba. You just need to focus on your cultivation. Look at the cultivation technique you are using. A large portion of them came from the Ethereal Sect, but it was difficult for them to do so. If it is not perfect enough, you will need to put in more effort! "
Ye Xu smiled and said, "Of course!"
"Alright, I happen to have a troublesome problem that needs to be solved. You go and take a trip!"
Qin Xiao took out a token from his pocket and threw it to Ye Xu.
"Hmm? This is..."
