Chapter 723: Martial Arts Absorption Skill, Training for Murder
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ling Yun’s body was able to continuously devour Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

It was an innate ability that didn’t require him to do it intentionally, as natural as breathing.

Ling Yun’s body should be called a spirit gathering body. His body was like a huge magnet, and spiritual energy was iron powder.

Ling Yun’s energy center was too large now, it had extended out of his body and had penetrated into the surroundings!

That was simply shocking!

If someone could take a photo of Ling Yun and his energy center, they would realize that Ling Yun was living in a colorful Tai Chi Diagram!

It would be the same image no matter which direction it was taken from! Ling Yun would seem like he was standing in a spherical space.

The most shocking part was that Ling Yun’s energy center was rotating continuously at a rapid pace!

This huge energy center had now become a Yin-Yang True Qi Vortex, like a spiral nebula!

Once it was fully formed, Ling Yun’s spirit gathering body would be able to absorb spiritual energy at an even more alarming rate! That would be infinitely scary!

His energy center would continue absorbing spiritual energy as long as it had the capacity.

Ling Yun could replenish the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, and his body could continuously generate Yin-Yang Qi automatically.

His cultivation base would improve tremendously by the day!

Ling Yun wasn’t selfish. He had imparted so many sets of martial arts in Qingshui City, including the Stellar Condensation Technique, Arctic Ice Technique, Acheron Earth God Skill, Omnipotent Water Control Technique, Raging Waves Internal Skill, Dragon Elephant Divine Force, and Spirit Potency Art…

These were all top-grade martial arts in the Cultivation World! They were skills that could propel any practitioner to the top!

Could Ling Yun not have thought of the possibility that his friends, brothers, or women could one day betray him and turn against him?

Father and son could kill each other over a small matter, husband and wife could divorce, fights between brothers were common. Why was Ling Yun so sure that the people around him would never betray him?

Moreover, even if they would never betray him under normal circumstances, what if they were caught and were tortured or had the Evil Eye used on them?

That could happen easily, like what happened to Cao Shanshan…

This sort of thing happened one time too many in the Cultivation World. Ling Yun was smart and had naturally thought about it.

However, Ling Yun wasn’t afraid. Or rather, he simply didn’t care. He knew that no one could cultivate faster than him!

Originally, Ning Lingyu, with her immortal spiritual body, could have kept up with him. However, Ling Yun was confident that no one else would be able to surpass him in cultivation speed once he had his Yin-Yang True Qi Vortex!

The Yin-Yang True Qi Vortex had another use — absorbing the True Qi from other’s bodies and then transforming it into the Yin-Yang Qi in his body using the Yin-Yang harmony balance…

Martial Arts Absorption Skill!

Imagine Ling Yun fighting with an enemy. Their palms meet, Ling Yun reverses the flow of his energy center. After sucking the True Qi from the enemy, it would only weaken the enemy and strength Ling Yun!

Ling Yun would never lose unless the enemy was someone too overpowering!

Of all the people Ling Yun had encountered, only one person had a strange absorption aura around her. That was the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect.

Hmph, let’s fight head-on after my Yin-Yang Vortex is formed and when I am at the Qi Cultivation Stage. Big Brother will let you fall into his arms!”

Ling Yun felt his heart being tickled when he thought of that otherworldly Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect.

“Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother, what are you thinking about?” Ling Yong couldn’t help but ask Ling Yun upon seeing him in a dazed state.

“Fifth Brother, when will you impart the telekinesis ability to me? It’s simply too cool!” Ling Feng asked excitedly.

Ling Yun returned to the present and laughed. “It’s nothing much. You want to use telekinesis? Wait until you reach the peak stages of the Xiantian Realm…”

Ling Feng’s excitement deflated…

It was nearly impossible to reach the peak stages of the Xiantian Realm…

“Don’t worry, I guarantee that all of you will reach the peak stages of the Xiantian Realm!” Ling Yun smiled at him after seeing his disappointment.

Ling Yun turned back towards the thirty-six men of sacrifice. “You will be the same if you can bear the hardship…”

The thirty-six of them experienced shock. Did they hear wrongly?

Peak stages of the Xiantian Realm…

“The men of sacrifice of the Ling Family express our gratitude for Young Master’s willingness to train us!”

All thirty-six of them exchanged glances and spoke in unison!

Ling Yun smiled, signaling that they didn’t need to stand on ceremony. They had been through a battle of life and death together. Who should he train if not those who were willing to lay down their lives for the Ling Family?

Ling Yun’s trust in these thirty-six men of sacrifice was very much deeper than that of his trust in his First Uncle, Ling Zhen.

Ling Yun smiled at Ling Li and passed the sword into his hands. “Sixth Brother, you first!”

Ling Li’s blood boiled with excitement with the cry of the men of sacrifice. He nodded obediently at Ling Yun and turned to the twenty Japanese ninjas, his eyes filled with murderous intent!

Ling Yun turned back and looked at the twenty Japanese ninjas suffering on the ground. “Who can speak mandarin?” Ling Yun asked coldly.

A Xiantian Realm ninja suddenly spoke up with crappy intonation. “Kill us if you want. We Japanese ninjas are not afraid of death!”

Ling Yun had experience with the bushido of the Japanese at Turtle Island. Even a female soldier would keep the secrets of her country in the face of death, much less a ninja.

“I only wanted to ask if anyone here is from the Tokugawa Clan.” He gave a small smile.

Ling Yun was thinking about the lid of the Shennong Cauldron. He knew it was with the Tokugawa Clan. He had to get it back as soon as possible, which was why he wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about the Tokugawa Clan.

The Xiantian Realm ninja was visibly taken aback. He gave Ling Yun a strange stare. “How do you know of the Tokugawa Clan?”

“The Tokugawa Clan is one of the most powerful warrior families in Japan, so of course I would know of them.”

Ling Yun might as well have not answered. Ling Yun didn’t want to get the Ling Family into trouble.

The Xiantian Realm ninja smirked. “The Tokugawa Clan is naturally not involved in the crushing of such a small family from Huaxia. The Tokugawa Clan is the most prestigious warrior family in Japan. They wouldn’t come to Huaxia if it wasn’t something important…”

Ling Yun pondered for quite some time. He felt that these small fries wouldn’t have any information. His time would be better spent interrogating the two Chuunins at Xiantian Realm Level Seven.

“Is that so? Unfortunately, you guys couldn’t even deal with such a small family like ours. Your mission tonight has failed, and every one of you is lying here like a dog with broken legs…”

That Xiantian Realm master’s eyes showed rays of shame, and he shouted in embarrassment, “Baka! We would have succeeded tonight if not for you!”

Ling Yun’s gaze turned cold, and his voice was icy. “The reason isn’t important, results are all that matter…”

Ling Yun waved his hand lightly at Ling Li. “Ling Li, kill him! Behead him!”

Ling Li rushed to the front with the sword in hand. A slight tremor was visible.

“Kill your enemy!” Ling Yun bellowed.

Ling Li bit his lip, his eyes grew wide, and the sword swung down!

“Pfff!”

The ninja’s head rolled!

That Xiantian Realm ninja’s head was cut clean off by Ling Li. His body collapsed onto the ground, and blood spurted out of his neck, squirting onto the other ninjas beside him. They were covered with blood instantly!

“Again!”

Ling Yun’s expression didn’t waver!

Ling Li endured the disgust in his heart and killed two ninjas. Only then did Ling Yun let him stop.

“Vomit if you want. You won’t be afraid of killing from now on.”

Ling Yun then took the sword from Ling Li and handed it to Ling Feng.
