Chapter 12: Spar? Forget it! A Peculiar Ability

While Lin Xuan was eating breakfast, Lu Linglong and her group of friends were actually discussing the matter of sparring.

It seems it really is as Lu Lin said; it counts as a recurring program.

However, listening to the few of them talk, they were actually quite interested in this.

"Big Brother, are you also interested in cosplay?"

Just as he finished breakfast, Er Gou came over solicitously to collect the tableware and offered a glass of water.

It left the group of friends feeling even more bewildered.

Then, a voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone to turn their heads.

"Little Nezha?"

Lin Xuan turned his head and looked at the half-grown child behind him wearing a red short jacket and hair buns, his face full of confusion.

"Hehe, Big Brother, you recognized me, it's Nezha. How about it, don't I look like him? Look, I can even do the Wind Fire Wheels."

As the half-grown child said this, he familiarly channeled his Qi, and subsequently, a pair of flaming wheels truly condensed under his feet.

"Uh, very similar!"

Lin Xuan watched for a moment, then commented earnestly.

"Right? I said I looked like him, but the old man in my family says I'm not attending to my proper duties. By the way, I'm Hong Bin from the Fire Virtue Sect. I just heard those brothers say that the clothes Big Brother is wearing are from an animation, the protagonist of something called 'This Daoist Is Not Good at Fists and Kicks'."

Lin Xuan:???

What "This Daoist Is Not Good at Fists and Kicks"?

To be honest, although he often plays on his phone, he really hasn't watched it.

Lu Linglong and the others were also wearing puzzled expressions.

"A misunderstanding?"

Hong Bin looked puzzled.

"I got this from someone else; I thought it was quite nice, so I'm wearing it."

Lin Xuan said.

"Uh!"

Hearing this, Hong Bin immediately scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I thought Big Brother had the same hobby as me, sorry!"

The half-grown child said this, turned around, and ran off.

Afterward, a burst of laughter erupted from the table where Hong Bin had been sitting.

"That's Hong Bin. It's said he has mastered seven or eight out of ten of the Fire Virtue Sect's strange arts. Don't let his young age fool you; his strength is not weak. People now call him the Little Fire God.

If you run into him, everyone must not take him lightly."

A fat man at this table spoke up.

Lin Xuan turned his head to look, and the fat man immediately revealed a smile upon seeing Lin Xuan look over.

"Little brother Cang Long. Big Brother can call me whatever he likes. My hands-on ability is average, but I have some confidence in my methods for gathering intelligence."

Lin Xuan nodded.

He did have some impression of this person.

Although he was a bit abstract, he was quite memorable.

"If Big Brother is curious about anyone, or wants to spar with someone, you can come to me to ask for information. The first time is completely free for you."

Seeing that Lin Xuan was relatively indifferent, Cang Long spoke again.

"What about mine?"

"What?" Cang Long didn't react for a moment.

"What about my intelligence?"

"Uh, Big Brother, I really don't have yours, but don't worry, once you make a move at this tournament, I will definitely have it."

Hearing Cang Long say this, the group of people all slapped their foreheads in unison.

"Then work hard, I believe in you."

Lin Xuan patted Cang Long on the shoulder.

"I'm going to find my grandmaster to pay my respects, you all carry on."

"I'll lead the way."

Lu Linglong quickly jumped up to guide Lin Xuan.

By the time they saw Fang Dongtian, several old men and several middle-aged men were drinking tea together.

"You're here!"

Seeing Lin Xuan arrive, Fang Dongtian beckoned with a smile.

"Mm, did you not browse your phone last night, Elder?"

As soon as Lin Xuan said this, the few people drinking tea all paused, looking at Fang Dongtian with strange expressions.

"Nonsense, of course I didn't. I, this old Daoist, keep my word."

Fang Dong said.

"That's good."

Lin Xuan nodded, then bowed to the few people.

Whether you know them or not, offer a greeting first; there's no harm in being overly polite.

"This is the high disciple of Baiyun Guan; he is indeed a man of talent."

The person speaking was a middle-aged man with a square face and an extremely sturdy build.

"This is Na Ruhu, one of the Ten Elders. His internal and external cultivation is incomparably strong. If we're talking about fighting ability, he is also the best among the geniuses."

Fang Dongtian made introductions.

Ye Tian heard this and curiously glanced at Na Ruhu.

The aura was indeed impressive.

"This is Guan Shihua, the clan leader of the Chuma Family from the Northeast; you can just address her as Senior."

As he spoke, Fang Dongtian introduced an old lady.

"What Senior? Just call me Great Aunt; calling me Senior feels distant."

"Don't even think about it, don't try to take advantage of my junior here."

Fang Dongtian immediately retorted.

"Senior Guan."

Lin Xuan heard the two elders arguing and spoke up to offer a greeting.

"Aye, Senior is fine then. You child, you really grew up to be handsome. I have a junior in my family..."

"Ahem, anyway, let's talk about business."

Fang Dongtian coughed a few times, interrupting what Guan Shihua was about to say next.

"I assume you've already talked to Li; next, during the morning and afternoon, the juniors will spar with each other. Do you want to try?"

Fang Dongtian asked.

This attitude caused all the seniors present to look sideways in astonishment.

What was going on?

Telling the junior about such a thing would have been enough, why ask for his opinion?

"That's not very good. You know my situation; if I make a move, I'll probably cause some trouble, so let's forget it."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and shook his head.

"That's true too. Since you don't want to make a move, then forget it."

Fang Dongtian thought about it and realized it was indeed the case.

"Then I'll pass. I only brought this child with me this time, and it's not convenient for him to make a move."

"What's so inconvenient about it? We're watching from the sidelines, what kind of big commotion could he possibly cause?"

Lv Ci was suddenly curious.

He immediately asked at this moment.

"When I say it's inconvenient, it's inconvenient."

Fang Dong said.

"Heh, alright then. This treasure of Baiyun Guan has stayed on the mountain for so many years, he probably rarely makes a move. If he doesn't want to make a move now, then let it be."

Wang Ai said with a smile, appearing to be speaking up for Lin Xuan, but the implication...

Lin Xuan naturally heard it; his eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at Wang Ai.

Crack!

Wang Ai's expression changed; he immediately sank his Qi into his dantian and took a horse stance.

Then, the hardwood grandmaster chair beneath him directly snapped and shattered, turning into a pile of broken wood.

"Heh, Fatty Wang, your life has indeed gotten better; you can even collapse such an expensive hardwood chair."

Lv Ci mocked him directly.

But Wang Ai, who had stood up, frowned, glanced at Lin Xuan, and then turned his head to look at the broken wood behind him.

The entire grandmaster chair was shattered all over the floor, but the fracture points were clearly broken by Nature.

Lu Jin was also stunned.

"Too much time passed, did the quality become an issue?"

Lu Jin stared, speaking subconsciously.

"Grandmaster, I'll head out first. I'll just watch when the disciples of each sect spar later."

Lin Xuan said, gave Lu Linglong a wink, and then turned to leave.

The group of people didn't pay any mind to Lin Xuan turning to leave.

No one felt it had anything to do with Lin Xuan.

After all, with so many people here, each of them considered their own strength to be decent; if Lin Xuan had made a move and they hadn't seen it, that would be a bit ridiculous.

Of course, except for Fang Dongtian.

"Senior Brother, what was that situation? Was it you who did it?"

Lu Linglong crept up to Lin Xuan's side mysteriously, looking curious.

"Maybe. Anyway, whoever harbors bad intentions toward me will have a bit of bad luck. That old man doesn't seem like a good person, be careful in the future."

Lin Xuan said.

"Mm, that's exactly what my old man said."
