Legend of Ling Tian Chapter 175

Ling Jian’s eyes began to tear up subconsciously. Although he was being reprimanded, he felt a sense of bliss and warmth in his heart!

On the other hand, Yu ManTian was extremely displeased. "Oi, who are you talking about? White dressed brat, who are you calling a clumsy bear? This Third Master is just exhausted from my battle with that brat, thus letting you gain the upper hand. Do you really think that your martial arts are higher than this Third Master? What a naive joke! When this Third Master’s injuries are healed, I will exchange pointers with you again to let you know my prowess! Did you hear that brat?"

"Oh?" Ling Tian said with a mocking smile, "Then was I mistaken just now? Wasn't the one pathetically running for their life while rolling on the floor you, Third Master?"

"You b*st*rd!" Yu ManTian stood up in anger. While his life was in the hands of the other party, Third Master Yu was the kind of person who would scold when he wanted to without the least bit of restraint. "When this Third Master’s injuries are recovered, I will let you know my prowess! I will let you know why the flowers are red!"

"Third Master? So you are the third in line? I wonder what family you belong to?" Ling Tian said with a smile. This ‘Third Master’ title reminded Ling Tian of some memory, making him think about a falcon in the mountain. [1]

"I am Third Master of… why do you care who I am?" Yu ManTian raised his head up proudly. Just when he wanted to reveal his own family, he remembered that he had just been beaten up badly. If he were to reveal his identity, wouldn’t that end up disgracing his Yu Family? Thus, he swallowed the words which were at the very corner of his lips.

"Oh, if that’s the case, I won’t say anything more. You treasure my brother, and my brother asked me to spare you. This young noble will not make things difficult for you. Goodbye." Ling Tian calmly said and walked to Ling Jian.

"Wait!" Yu ManTian quickly called out to them. What a joke, if you are going to leave like that, how am I going to find you when my injuries are recovered? "It isn’t a problem if you want to leave. You have to first tell me what your name is. What is your brother’s name? Where do you stay at? Where can this Third Master find you brothers?" Yu ManTian asked in a bossy manner. He hadn’t noticed that his body was covered in mud with his clothes in tatters from rolling on the ground. He looked extremely pathetic, and a beggar on the streets was probably better dressed than him!

"Oh, Third Master, everyone else calls me 'young noble'. You can call me that as well." Ling Tian said calmly without turning back. Calling yourself ‘Third Master’, you have already exposed your identity completely and you still think that we don’t know about it? If that’s the case, this young noble will let you have a taste of your own medicine to frustrate you to death!

Err! Yu ManTian was filled with depression! Thinking about it, it also made sense to him. He refused to answer the other party previously, and the other party would obviously not answer him either.

Who would be so foolish to expose their identities to their enemy?

After that short meditation, Yu ManTian felt himself recover a little already. Seeing that Ling Tian was about to leave, he couldn't help but approach them and say, "This Third Master here has nothing else better to do, seeing that you are bringing a casualty along, why don't I protect you guys along the way. Anyway, this person was… injured by me. Since you guys have already let me off, this Third Master wouldn’t feel good if something happened to you along the way."

As Yu ManTian said that, not to mention Ling Tian, even the heavily injured Ling Jian could not help but be dumbfounded. This was the first time they saw someone as thick-skinned as this Third Master Yu!

He was obviously the one who was beaten up so badly just now, and he actually had the cheek to proclaim that he could protect others!

As though he also felt slightly embarrassed, Yu ManTian rubbed his head and said, "Let this Third Master tell you, you were only able to gain the upper hand previously because I was exhausted and agitated by this black dressed brat. I am not trying to brag, but if you let this Third Master recover fully, hehe, you will definitely not be my opponent! This Third Master’s inner strength is far denser than yours! Brat, do you dare to admit that?"

Ling Tian and Ling Jian stared at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing! It was as though they had heard the biggest joke in the world, laughing until their bodies rocked back and forth.

With injuries on his body, Ling Jian began to cough after laughing for a moment. However, he just couldn't stop himself from laughing, laughing to the point his face was pale.

Preposterous! Yu ManTian shouted out, "What’s so funny? Shall we have another fight now? This Third Master’s inner strength is definitely denser than yours. If I cannot win against you… if I cannot win against you…" After stuttering for a long while, he just couldn't complete the sentence. He was well aware of his own condition and he knew that he wouldn’t be able to win for sure. While Yu ManTian’s inner strength was indeed denser than Ling Tian's, it was only limited to his cultivation. As for the other aspects such as martial skills or movement techniques, the two of them were not even on the same level. Even if they were to only compete in inner strength, Yu ManTian might not win. Previously, Ling Tian was able to fight Ye QingChen to a standstill in terms of inner strength. While Yu ManTian’s inner strength was profound, he was still a far cry from Ye QingChen!

Ling Tian said with a smile, "If you are not able to reduce me to a state where I am not as suave and carefree as I currently am, will Third Master admit his loss?" As Ling Tian said that, Ling Jian found it even more difficult to control his laughter. The tongue of his young noble was just far too sharp. He was just too good at mocking someone!

Yu ManTian responded with a spitting sound. While he did think that this brat in front of him was suave and carefree, it was impossible for him to admit that fact.

After a while, Ling Tian said, "Since Third Master doesn’t want to admit his loss, you can just follow us. When you are fully recovered, this young noble will exchange pointers with you again! How about that? Since this brother of mine also seems to think highly of Third Master."

In Ling Tian’s heart, he also admired Yu ManTian’s martial arts. The sturdiness of this Third Master was indeed frightening. After fighting Ling Jian for such a long time, being riddled with injuries and having his Inner Qi exhausted, Yu ManTian was still able to withstand three palms from himself! After that, Yu ManTian only spat out a small mouthful of blood and rolled a few times.

After a short meditation, Yu ManTian was able to jump back up with vigor. The sturdiness of his body could be easily witnessed.

Ever since Ling Tian was born into this world, apart from Yu QingChen, this Third Master Yu would probably be ranked second amongst all the people he had met!

Ever since Ling Jian said that he was probably the Third Master of the Yu Family, Ling Tian had immediately guessed his identity. He was originally worried that the colors of this Sky Bearing Gathering would be less vibrant without the Yu Family, but he never expected this Third Master Yu to appear from out of nowhere! To Ling Tian, this was just like a golden ingot that fell from heaven, smashing right into his head! If he didn’t make use of this precious resource, he wouldn’t be called Ling Tian!

Rejecting Yu ManTian's desire to follow them had been a lie in the first place. Seeing that he was really anxious, Ling Tian would definitely not chase him away! Instead, he displayed the intentions to befriend him.

Three people rode on two horses, Ling Tian and Ling Jian on one and Yu ManTian on another. Along the way, the three of them recovered from their injuries as they joked together. With Ling Tian’s eloquence, he was naturally able to easily encourage conversation with Yu ManTian. Yu ManTian was filled with smiles along the way, talking about the national affairs of the continent and completely forgetting how he had just suffered a loss in Ling Tian’s hands! Along the way, they chatted about the various characters on the continent and discussed the different martial arts with a kind of, ‘heroes of the world, who else can they be but us’, feeling. However, Yu ManTian’s many years of experience were indeed not empty words, and both Ling Tian and Ling Jian felt like they had received plenty from their conversations.

Along the way, Ling Tian and Ling Jian both joined hands to probe about the Yu Family from Yu ManTian. Of course, they only asked some surface-level questions and Yu ManTian never noticed that the both of them were trying to probe for information. The straightforward Yu ManTian then opened his mouth and talked without restraint about the things he knew.

The three of them then traveled along slowly, with two wise guys acting foolish and another completely foolish fellow, moving harmoniously towards the Sky Bearing City.

By the time they arrived at the Sky Bearing City, the three of them were already close to the point of addressing each other as brothers…

The night was dark.

"Err, I say, martial arts expert Third Master, do you want to stay at this young noble’s residence? Anyway, this young noble does admire an expert like you, how about that?" Ling Tian was obviously trying to be hypocritically friendly.

However, this completely described the saying, ‘despite the thousand considerations of a wise man, he will definitely fail once!’ Ling Tian did not think about what kind of person Yu ManTian was. Even if Ling Tian was just asking out of courtesy, he would definitely take it for real!

Indeed, as Yu ManTian heard that, he was filled with a temptation to accept Ling Tian’s offer. Ling Tian couldn't help but cry out bitterly in his heart: If this foolish Third Master can’t see the true meaning behind my words and chooses to accept the offer, it will really be ‘the luck of a foolish man’. What should I do? Bring him to the Ling residence? That obviously isn’t a practical solution!

Thankfully, Yu ManTian mulled over the matter for a long time before saying with regret, "Thank you, but I need to find my niece first and I also have something important to do. Brother, where do you stay at? Why not tell me so we can have a good fight after my injuries are recovered? I really do admire you and that black dressed brat!"

Ling Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Hehe, Third Master, my house is in this Sky Bearing City and it isn’t time for me to tell you yet. When you are able to find me, we will be considered friends. At that time, I definitely will comply if you want to have a fight! How about that?"

Yu ManTian let out a laugh and said, "Alright, it’s a deal!" At the same time, he thought to himself, In such a small place, wouldn’t it be an extremely easy thing to find someone? Besides, with your martial arts prowess, there will definitely be many who know you in the city.
