Chapter 249 (1/2)

Two lifetimes of experiences allowed Ling Tian to spot an interesting fact, that martial arts exponents would not use all their strength from the start, probably about 70% to test the waters.

Ling Tian didn't know what rule or habit this originated from, but to him, this was pure stupidity! If you want to fight, then come forth with your full strength! If you cannot win then scram, if you can win, then finish it cleanly and stop dragging it out! What kind of lousy rules are you following?!

However, this gave Ling Tian an inspiration and he decided to go ahead with it. No matter whom that green-robed person was, if he dared to not use his full strength in the first exchange, then so sorry, with the combined forces of Ling Tian and all his comrades, even if this person was the fabled Beyond Heavens Sect Master, Ling Tian was certain that he had the power to make him regret it for life!

To spoil my plans, whether you are in the good or evil way, I'll kill!

A glint of appreciation flashed in the eyes of that green-robed man! To think that this youth could come to a decision so quickly, immediately targeting and setting up such a perfect formation to kill him! While Ling Jian and the rest might be lost among the crowd, but how could the mysterious person not be able to sense that faint killing intent they exuded?

The expert sighed once to himself, feeling much regret! This type of battle was one that he wished to partake in the most! But it was impossible at this time.

From beside Ling Tian's eyes suddenly came a voice, much like a mosquito buzzing, ”Kid, you're ruthless enough! Not bad, but a pity that I can't accompany you guys to play today. You must be Ling Tian, right? If I exchange moves with you today, I'll definitely hurt the lives of the five brats there, then it wouldn't be fun anymore! Heh heh, I'll look for you someday!”

Compressing one's voice into a line! Communicating via a mosquito buzz! He was definitely an expert!

Ling Tian narrowed his eyes into slits and sent his voice back the same way, ”May I know who is Mister? Why are you here? To say you do not want to exchange moves now, I'm afraid it's too late!”

However, the man didn't reply. Casting his eyes over, he only saw the green-robed man look towards him with a hint of a smile playing on his lips. Although he remained standing in his original spot, he appeared one moment as mountain that one could only look up to and admire, then akin to the great ocean, which gave the feeling that one couldn't harm him in the slightest, then again to as if he had become one with the heavens, only faintly discernible like the mist. The man suddenly moved, his body fracturing into tens of thousands of light beams, disappearing in all directions!

Ling Tian sighed, and his right hand signaled to the others to stop.

And indeed, after that brilliant scene, the person's image became indistinct, finally disappearing altogether! It was unknown at what point he escaped, but his speed was so fast that he actually left a life-like afterimage!

Ling Tian remained silent, his face impa.s.sive, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

This person was simply strong beyond his imagination!

When the other six arrived in front of Ling Tian, a trace of lingering fear was still on their faces. All of them knew that even if they were to fight with the man when he wasn't prepared, except for a select few, the rest would have to be buried as collateral damage!

That person's martial arts could be said to be at the apex!

Ling Tian looked at the six of them, and suddenly started smiling, ”What do you think of his skills?”

”Unimaginable!” Ling Jian's face was only filled with respect! The other five also nodded their heads in unison, a sort of admiration plastered on their faces.

”Useless!” Ling Tian scolded them jokingly, ”Let me tell you guys, everyone can achieve such a state like that man! The question is whether you have the desire to reach such a stage!”

”How could we not want to?” All of them immediately argued.

Ling Tian smiled in response, ”In the past, you didn't have an objective, and thus your martial arts were practiced without purpose; now you have a visible goal in front of you! This sort of realm has been reached by someone, and it's just that you guys haven't reached it yet.” Ling Tian gave a meaningful smile, ”To actually reach such a state, how much hards.h.i.+p did the person have to suffer in order to achieve it? How many things had he given up, in order to reach such a stage? Go and think about it, when you have the answer, then think about whether you guys are able to do it! Once you are certain, then you just have to continue walking on your current road!”

Ling Tian turned about, putting his hands behind his back as he walked towards the Smoky Thea Tower saying, ”I'll be in front of you guys, always guiding you!”

The six of them looked at the back of Ling Tian, immediately growing silent. But their eyes burned with a fervent pa.s.sion!

Yu BingYan was gazing at Ling Tian with eyes full of respect! Ling Tian always made use of live examples of people and objects to explain concepts to Ling Jian and the others, and this also enlightened Yu BingYan! Only by doing so could he dispel the fear of the man that was left behind in the hearts of Ling Jian and the rest, turning it into the ultimate strength and motivation! And this was merely achieved with a few short sentences!

To control the situation with such a technique, this was approaching perfection!

No one was aware of the profound significance these few sentences were to the six of them, not even Ling Tian himself! It was only many years later when the six of them stood at the apex of martial arts that they then linked it to the words that Ling Tian had spoken today!
