Chapter 12758 The Earth Dragon Soul Evolved

The Grand Dean looked at their confused expressions, smiled slightly, and explained: "Our involvement will not solve the problem. The grudge between these two people is deep-rooted. Even if we intervene, it will only be a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution."

"It's better to let nature take its course and let them compete to see who is better."

"Whoever wins will stay and become the winner of this duel. What we can do is to try to make this duel fair so that the fight between them will not affect Tianxiahui and will not make Tianxiahui the target of their hatred."

Hearing this, the other three fell into deep thought. They understood the meaning of the Grand Master's words, and also understood the seriousness of this confrontation.

The hatred between Ou Luan and Ling Xiao has accumulated to the point of no return. The fight between them is no longer just a matter between two people, but also concerns the future and fate of the entire Tianxiahui.

"That's the only way!" One of them sighed helplessly. He knew that the headmaster was right. They really had no better choice. If they intervened forcefully, it would only make things more complicated and might even lead to a greater disaster.

The other two also nodded, expressing their agreement with the decision of the Grand Master. They knew that the only thing they could do now was to pray that this duel would end as soon as possible, hoping that both Ou Luan and Ling Xiao could remain rational in this duel and not let hatred blind their eyes.

The meeting hall fell silent again, but everyone knew that the outcome of this duel would have a profound impact on the entire world. They could only pray silently, hoping that everything would develop in a good direction.

……

Deep in the cemetery, time seemed to have frozen, and a month passed quietly. During this time, Ling Xiao had been immersed in the arduous task of refining the Heart of the Earth in the Southern Region.

He knew very well that the Heart of Earth was an extremely rare treasure between heaven and earth. Possessing its power meant mastering the essence of the earth and being able to manipulate soil and rocks at will.

However, this Southern Territory Earth Heart was much more difficult to refine than he had expected. The power it contained was even more powerful than the Northern Territory Earth Heart, like a sleeping beast that was difficult to tame.

But Ling Xiao was not discouraged by this. He knew very well that only through hard work could he achieve final victory.

At this moment, Ling Xiao has reached the final stage of refining the Earth Heart. He closed his eyes tightly and focused on guiding the true essence in his body to resonate with the Earth Heart. In his perception, the Earth Heart was like a beating heart, emitting majestic earth energy.

As the refining progressed, the earth dragon soul above Lingxiao's head, which was originally only three meters long and had no dragon claws, began to change.

Its body gradually grew longer, and its scales shone with golden light, making it look majestic and mysterious. Even more surprising was that its forelimbs began to condense into the first dragon claw, and the claw tip shone with sharp light, as if it could tear apart all obstacles.

The transformation of the Earth Dragon Soul shocked Ling Xiao. He realized that it was not only the power of the Earth Heart that was growing, but also his own strength. Now, among the five dragon souls, the Earth Dragon Soul was undoubtedly the strongest.

Whenever it appeared, the other four dragon souls would tremble involuntarily, as if they had seen their king.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came, shaking the entire cemetery. The dragon soul of the earth let out a loud dragon roar, and the sound seemed to penetrate the heaven and earth and shake people's hearts. Then, it turned into a golden light and disappeared into Ling Xiao's body.

As the Earth Dragon Soul disappeared, Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he could see through all illusions. He felt the majestic power in his body, as if he had endless potential.

He knew that he had successfully refined the Southern Territory Earth Heart and his strength had been greatly enhanced.

At this moment, Ling Xiao seemed to be reborn, full of confidence and strength.

"Seventh level of the Unbreakable Realm!" Ling Xiao's eyes were gleaming with unconcealable joy and pride. He uttered these words softly, as if confirming the leap in his own strength.

The Heart of Earth from the Southern Territory, this legendary treasure that contains endless power of the earth, he originally thought that the refining process would be extremely difficult, but he did not expect that just practicing it would make his cultivation level soar like a rocket.

Thinking back to the past, when he was still at the third level of the Unresting Realm, he could easily kill those fourth level Primordial Realm opponents who called themselves "evil spirits" with his sword. The crushing under the huge disparity in power made him feel unprecedented pleasure.

And now, he has entered the seventh level of the Eternal Realm, and the improvement in strength is undoubtedly a qualitative leap.

"I can easily kill an eighth-level Primordial Realm warrior, right?" Ling Xiao thought silently in his heart. He knew very well that in this world where the strong are respected, only strength is the hard truth.

The strength he now possesses is enough to allow him to easily deal with those masters who were once out of his reach.

"I heard that Ou Luan is at the seventh level of the Primordial Realm. I hope he's not too weak." Ling Xiao's mouth curled up with a playful smile. He was full of anticipation for the upcoming battle, because only in a duel with the strong could he constantly break through himself and challenge his limits.

He smiled slightly and stood up, a strong aura emanating from him. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the air in the retreat into his lungs. Then, he took a firm step and walked out of this place where he had practiced in seclusion and experienced hardships.

"Young Master, this is Ou Luan's letter of challenge!" Qiu Shuikui's voice was a little serious. She held an exquisite letter of challenge in both hands and handed it to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao took the letter of challenge and gently opened it. He saw Ou Luan's name and the date and place of the challenge written in strong handwriting. He looked up at Qiu Shui Kui with a smile in his eyes: "Aunt Qiu Shui, how do you think I should respond to this letter of challenge?"

Qiu Shuikui was slightly startled, then said firmly: "If the young master is unwilling to go, I will help you kill that guy! Although he is known as one of the top five in the Tianxia Association, he is just a clown in front of me, Qiu Shuikui."

Ling Xiao shook his head slightly and smiled: "Haha, that's not necessary. I also want to try how powerful the so-called top five of the Tianxia Upper House are. After all, only by fighting with the strong can I grow faster." He put away the letter of challenge, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

After coming back, Ling Xiao already knew about the battle. He knew Ou Luan's position in the Tianxia Council, and also knew what this battle meant to him.

But at this moment, he was no longer the young boy who had just started out. After countless times of training and practice, his strength had reached a new height. Therefore, he was not afraid of this battle at all.
