Chapter 181 - A Martial Fanatic With Honors (2/2)
He was a renowned man to steal other’s belongings and achieve greatness, just like Zhuo Fan. None of them were saints, just looking at things from a different angle!
“Then, people started calling Elder Li as the ‘Mad Dipper’. It means to say how arrogant I am yet so powerful none of them could do anything to me!” Vicious Pill King put his two cents in.
Li Jingtian nodded, “So I robbed and cultivated my way to the Profound Heaven Stage, unmatched by all. But at that point, I have reached a chokepoint.”
“Yeah. Spirit ranked cultivation methods are too slow in the Profound Heaven Stage and had to be exchanged. And the only ones with such cultivation methods are the imperial family and seven houses, or the Four Pillars. Is this how you leaned on Regent Estate?” Zhuo Fan said.
Li Jingtian shook his head, holding his head up high.
Vicious Pill King butted in, “Steward Zhuo, you may not know, but Elder Li didn’t lean on Regent Estate, but fought his way in. Elder Li heard of Regent Estate’s Imperial Tyrant Body Art being the best of all the houses and wanted to take it. Five elders had to work together but even they, with their Imperial Tyrant Body Art, couldn’t defeat Elder Li spirit ranked body cultivation method. Even Regent Estate’s Grand Elder Huangpu Fenglei had to intervene. Thus, he invited him into his house as a guest elder, now Venerable. This was one of the rare events in the history of Regent Estate.”
Vicious Pill King turned his admiration-filled eyes to Li Jingtian. Li Jingtian’s head rose even higher, as if that was possible, as he stroked his ego in just the right spots.
As if to say. [Look, I didn’t go there begging, it was Regent Estate who invited me.]
But Zhuo Fan saw through everything and snorted inside.
This so-called invitation was after he became a sensation.
[Regent Estate is fraught with danger. No matter how tough you are, a Profound Heaven expert would soon be lying dead somewhere before he could make any kind of scene. It’s obvious he used his own strength to recommend how fitting he was for Regent Estate.]
[If I went in, my conceived version of Imperial Tyrant Body Art would’ve grown far stronger than theirs, thus boosting the power of Regent Estate.]
[Nonetheless, a body cultivator who has always been engrossed in his training yet, still had the time to develop such cunningness is a rarity. It had to be all that chasing’s fault]
Li Jingtian looked more pleasing in Zhuo Fan’s eyes.
[This Radiant Stage guy has brawn and brain. He is a good specimen!]
Scratching his nose, Zhuo Fan smiled, “In other words, Elder Li is a martial fanatic. Doing anything and everything in your pursuit of power.”
“You only have one life. If you don’t fight your way to rise above the masses, it’s not worth living for!” Li Jingtian looked at the skies and sighed.
Zhuo Fan spoke, “Now, I know what Elder Li wants…”
“Hold on, I don’t want you to see me as…”
“I have my own cultivation method!”
Zhuo Fan cut him off, “What I am unclear, however, is why Elder Li, a Regent Estate’s guest Venerable, and knowing the Imperial Tyrant Body Art, would come after my cultivation method?”
“Uh, kid, I am not actually…”
“Do be frank with me!”
Shooting him a glance, Zhuo Fan was completely defiant, “If Elder Li isn’t honest, you will never get what you want from me. Since I don’t know what you really want.”
Stammering, Li Jingtian looked squarely at Zhuo Fan with admiration. [He is no common kid. Few are those who can meet the gaze of a Radiant Stage expert.]
[No wonder Leng wanted me to personally deal with him.]
Li Jingtian sighed and nodded, “Indeed. I came today for a cultivation method. Humph, I am Regent Estate’s guest Venerable, yet, they only imparted the Imperial Tyrant Body Art up to the seventh stage, omitting the last two. Yet, those weaker than me get to practice it without worry.
“Ridiculous! If I had trained to the ninth stage, I’d be invincible. Not even the imperial family’s Divine Dragons can compare. Just why have they not given me the last stages?”
Li Jingtian let go of all his rancor, to which, the two looked at each other and shook their heads in mockery.
This guy really was a martial fanatic, godlike even. Could Regent Estate rein him in if he became invincible? Humph, he had always been an outsider.
[I wouldn’t impart it either if I couldn’t control you!]
Zhuo Fan said so yet, the outline of a plan was forming in his mind.
This man could be taken into the fold. Though, he needed to fine-tune his rash behavior and get him to fall in line…
