Chapter 202 (1/2)

While Yu ManTian was unbridled and a brawler, his chivalrous character was also the best, his promise worth its weight in gold! He was also greatly fond of talents, and at the last moment when their blades met, his mind spun and ignoring the effects on his body, he forcibly retracted his power by at least 30%. With Ling Chi's current strength, how could he bear the force behind Yu ManTian's full-powered strike? Even with that reduced 70% strike, he ended up in a dead faint, but at least he preserved his life!

All sorts of feelings welled up in Ling Tian's heart at this time. He had believed himself infallible when he thought that the Third Master of an aristocratic family, a mighty XianTian stage expert, would allow himself to be played with like a toy for his brothers! Asking him to be just a punching bag without being able to retaliate? If something had happened to Ling Chi, could he really blame Yu ManTian for that?

Ling Tian now felt that he owed Yu ManTian an immeasurably huge favor! With Yu ManTian's character, he would definitely put it behind him, but could Ling Tian really do that?

After a while, Ling Chi finally groaned and slowly opened his eyes. He recalled that when he had rushed in, just at the moment when their blades met he diverted a portion of his strength, using it to protect his heart! It was because of this action that, while he received some internal injuries, there were no huge problems in his body.

Yu ManTian glanced at the six little brats with a strange expression. He was particularly fond of talents, or he wouldn't have gladly suffered internal injuries to withdraw 30% of his strength. All of them were rare martial arts talents, especially Ling Jian and Ling Chi. The potential of these two could be described with just one word: Limitless! Yu ManTian strongly believed that, given another decade, they would reach his current level!

Right now though it would be impossible for them to defeat him one on one unless the five of them were to band up together! Without Ling Jian and with just the strength of the five brats, he would be able to take on three and still come out victorious, although it would be a little time-consuming. If it was one against four, then most likely the fight would end up as a draw, or perhaps with his experience he might obtain a victory at the end. With one against five it would be difficult for him, but he had confidence that he would bring at least three of them down with him!

But to hear that the young n.o.ble could easily take on one against three, Yu ManTian immediately felt that he wasn't that good after all. He couldn't help but feel depressed and thought,

Were geniuses so common these days that they could be found anywhere?

He was a straightforward and big-hearted bloke, always being true to his word. If his skills were below someone else's there was no sense in denying it. Although he could win against three with his skills, he wouldn't be able to do so easily, therefore it could be considered a loss!

”Third Master, how are all my brothers?” Before Yu ManTian could admit his defeat, Ling Jian's voice had already traveled to his ears. He let out a sigh before praising, ”They're not bad! In fact, they're pretty good!”

Aii, to be so appreciative of talents and yet only give them a rating of pretty good! In the younger generation of the Yu Family, those who could reach this standard would probably be only two or three out of ten of them!

Yu ManTian couldn't help but sob inwardly, to think that the prestigious Yu Family would actually fall behind a tiny a.s.sa.s.sin organization!

”Third Master has probably already seen that my brothers have martial skills that are beyond the ordinary. Furthermore, since they have trained together since they were young and have a secret battle formation among themselves! With Third Master's outstanding cultivation, you could fend off two, but once there are three of them, you'll only have a tiny sliver of a chance for victory!” Ling Jian leisurely spoke, a strange look in his eyes as he awaited Yu ManTian's response.

Yu ManTian's eyes flashed as he replied, ”That might not be the case. This Yu believes that he can still triumph over three at once, just that it would take a long time! To think that your house's young n.o.ble only needs a short time to do the same, this Yu can only admit his loss!” Since his skills were not on par, there was no need to call himself the Third Master anymore!

”Hahaha... ” Ling Jian suddenly let out a laugh before continuing, ”If Third Master thinks this way, then you're quite wrong!”

”Wrong?” Yu ManTian lifted up his head quickly, ”What's wrong? Don't tell me you were lying when you said that your young n.o.ble could defeat them quickly! Kid, while this old man likes your guts, if you lie to me, you can believe that I can silence you as well!”

”Calm down, Third Master. Everything I said was the truth, but I left out some points!” Ling Jian let out a sly smile, saying, ”Third Master does not know that all our skills were personally taught by our young n.o.ble. Do you understand now?”

Yu ManTian stood there stunned for a moment, before bursting out into loud laughter, to the point that even tears were rolling down his face. One could see how happy he was with that explanation.
