Chapter 15: Revealing His Ability, Zhang Lingyu Is Stunned

~8 min read 1,451 words

"Oh my, just so-so, just so-so!"

Fang Dong waved his hand as he spoke.

But the smugness on his face could not be hidden at all.

A group of people were speechless, except for Wang Ai and Wang Bing.

"No one was praising you!"

Lu Jin was left speechless by Fang Dongtian's posture of acting coy after having gained an advantage.

Down below.

The departure of Lin Xuan, Wang Bing, and Wang Ai just now did not quiet down the group of juniors.

Instead, they were discussing it heatedly.

The little fatty Cang Long, sitting not far from Lu Linglong and Lin Xuan, took out paper and pen at this moment and began writing furiously.

"Goodness, Brother Lin Xuan, you're amazing. I have to write this down quickly. Hmm, 'I, the great Lin Xuan, exchanged one move with the head of the Wang Family, and it was a draw.'"

Cang Long recorded as he spoke.

Yun, Zhi Jinhua, and the others on the side were completely stunned.

Good grief, as for this intelligence, it's better not to trust this guy in the future.

After all, according to the situation just now and common sense, Wang Ai was just making a casual strike.

Could this even count as an exchange of moves?

After all, the head of the Wang Family is a big shot of the same generation as Elder Lu.

Regarding the strength of Lu Jin, these juniors who joined the Lu Family still have some say.

To put it bluntly, a single pinky finger could hang them up and beat them.

Lu Linglong was at the side with a dark face.

"No one is going up? If one person goes up, keep going down."

Lu Linglong said.

The few people sitting there looked at each other, and finally, their eyes fell on the furiously writing Cang Long.

Cang Long's figure paused, he slowly raised his head, his expression dull.

Then, he saw several large hands grab him and throw him directly into the arena.

His round body adjusted slightly in the air, but he still almost fell when he landed.

Laughter rose again.

However, this also attracted the attention of many people back again.

"Uh, I'm not good at fighting."

Cang Long stood steady, feeling a bit uneasy being watched by a group of people, so he quickly said, bowing with cupped hands while preparing to return to the crowd.

Then he saw Lu Linglong's unfriendly gaze.

Cang Long's expression stiffened, and after a sigh, he bowed to the four directions.

"I am Cang Long, uh, a retainer of our Lu Family. Is there anyone who would like to offer some pointers?"

A retainer?

What an ancient term.

But everyone knew the general meaning.

"I'll come!"

Drawing out the long sound, a figure jumped out.

The competition continued under the guidance of the Lu Family.

Lin Xuan's expression didn't change, and his attention wasn't entirely on the fight.

"Daoist."

Zhang Lingyu walked over.

"Daoist Lingyu, please sit!"

Lin Xuan raised his hand to invite him, and Zhang Lingyu did not stand on ceremony, sitting directly to the side.

Lu Linglong also spoke up to greet him, and Zhang Lingyu smiled in return.

"Daoist Lingyu, aren't you going up to try?"

Lin Xuan pointed to the arena and asked.

He knew that Zhang Lingyu had already sought permission from Lao Tianshi.

"Trying is certainly fine, but I wish to witness Daoist's methods. Of course, if Daoist does not wish to make a move, I will not force it."

Zhang Lingyu directly expressed that he wanted to spar with Lin Xuan.

Everyone else at the table turned to look over.

Zhang Lingyu's fame is not small.

Lao Tianshi's strength is boundless, and he is recognized as the pinnacle of the current Outsider world.

As Lao Tianshi's youngest disciple, Zhang Lingyu's reputation had long since spread.

Of course, he had made moves before, and his strength had been revealed quite a bit.

Among the younger generation, Zhang Lingyu's strength is definitely among the most formidable.

"Spar with me?"

Lin Xuan thought about it after hearing this.

"I cannot control my own abilities. If there is goodwill toward me, naturally there is no harm; if malice arises toward me, one will be unlucky. This point, I cannot control."

Lin Xuan spread his hands.

Everyone present was stunned.

What kind of ability is this?

It only favors you, and anyone who wishes you ill meets with misfortune?

Then, they thought of the fate that had just befallen Wang Bing.

Lin Xuan had indeed stood still, yet Wang Ai had first tripped, even knocking out his front teeth.

Then came the backlash of his own cultivation technique; if not for the Ten Elders member Wang Ai intervening, he likely would have suffered greatly.

Could it be that this only happens because of malicious intent?

Zhang Lingyu was also dumbfounded.

What kind of ability is this?

"Daoist brother, is this really your ability? You just said it out loud?"

Lu Linglong widened her eyes.

"It's not a secret, and after a long time, people would always notice."

Lin Xuan waved his hand, appearing unconcerned about his ability being exposed.

Everyone nodded one after another.

It sounds like a passive innate ability, but isn't this a bit too much like cheating?

Besides, knowing or not knowing doesn't really make much of a difference.

Perhaps if they know, those with malicious intent might not dare to approach rashly.

"So, does Daoist Lingyu want to try?"

Lin Xuan asked.

"I am indeed quite curious, but I hold no malice toward you, Daoist."

Zhang Lingyu could naturally guarantee this point.

It was just that he was truly curious about Lin Xuan's strength.

The exchange with Wang Ai just now allowed him to detect a hint of the Golden Light Spell within it.

Clearly, Lin Xuan had not been negligent in his Life and Nature Cultivation.

"Then let's do it this afternoon; looking at the time, it's about right."

Lin Xuan raised his finger and pointed at the sky.

The sun was about to reach its zenith; it was time for lunch.

Zhang Lingyu was naturally in no rush and nodded upon hearing this.

"Oh my, the two of you sparring, it's truly something to look forward to."

A voice suddenly cut in.

Cang Long approached happily, as if the incident of being thrown up earlier had never happened at all.

"You won?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback.

"I lost!"

Cang Long said cheerfully.

"Then what are you so happy about?"

"Oh, big brother, I know my own abilities very well. I'm just not cut out for this; if I kept going, I'd probably just get beaten up, so it's better to trade a few blows and then concede."

Cang Long naturally had his excuses.

And, it actually sounded somewhat reasonable.

However, his companions on the side were all looking up at the sky, completely speechless at Cang Long's thick skin.

But the morning's matches had ended, and they hadn't lasted very long in total.

Naturally, they could continue in the afternoon.

The hospitality on the Lu family's side goes without saying.

After it ended, various cold drinks were served, and then one could order whatever they wanted to eat.

It was impressive that so many people could order their own meals; although some obscure dishes couldn't be prepared, it was still very remarkable.

At the very least, in terms of hosting guests, the Lu family left no room for criticism.

The Ten Elders also departed one by one.

Lu Jin stood out happily and offered a few words of encouragement.

The group of juniors naturally said whatever sounded pleasant.

Lu Jin was so pleased he insisted on taking out some items as rewards for this competition, and it took a lot of persuasion from others to stop him.

After all, it was a birthday banquet; if he really brought out rewards, the juniors might not hold back their strength.

On the other side, Wang Ai left with Wang Bing.

"I want him dead!"

As soon as they entered the guest room, Wang Bing said, his words whistling through the gap in his teeth.

As a result, he tripped over his own feet again and fell straight forward; the spot where he fell was the corner of a hardwood table, and the corner was aimed directly at his eye.

Wang Ai glared and used his cane to catch Wang Bing.

But before Wang Bing could steady himself, the crystal metal chandelier above—weighing a full hundred pounds and featuring a sharp, tapered cone in the center—detached and fell directly toward the back of Wang Bing's head.

Wang Ai's eyes were wide with rage.
