THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 133

The green-robed oracle was clearly useless as it appeared; this person had been subjected to mortal dust for a long time. Because the clairvoyant believed that his eyesight was good, and it was precisely because he could see through Ling Tian that he was able to calm down and use his life as a bet. Since that fellow was so obsessed with hiding himself, why would he bother moving against him? Furthermore, even if Ling Tian were to actually make a move, although he would be severely injured, but the woman behind him would also suffer from forcibly activating his power, too, because he had yet to reach the necessary stage to fight with them. In a situation where both sides were getting nothing, why would they bother fighting?

All of these thoughts flashed in the time it took to produce a spark. As for Yu BingYan and his comrades, they were still far from being able to compete at a higher level of strength, and thus could only watch in confusion. Just as everyone was perplexed, Ling Tian suddenly burst into laughter.

“The divining ability of the Master is truly mysterious and unpredictable, it fills this young noble with admiration! If Master doesn't consider me a nuisance, Ling Tian wants to treat you to a drink and have a good discussion. I can also ask Master to help me read my luck in detail, is that alright? ”

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, those standing beside him stared in shock. Just a moment ago, the same person accused the astrologer of being a liar. But in just the blink of an eye, the liar became an expert of a generation? Ling Tian even took the initiative to ask him for a prediction!

After Ling Tian smiled, the green-robed fortune teller suddenly felt the immense pressure in front of him dissipate like the wind, along with the rest of his suspicions. He was also someone of status, and also liked talent. Therefore, he did not blame the two for trying to sneak attack him, instead let out a curious smile, “Noble Young has invited me very well, if I refuse, it means not knowing how to appreciate help. ”

In this sentence, a little praise is hidden. One had to know that for a top-class expert like himself to have such a confrontation just now, where he had been placed in an unfavorable position even before they made a move, it was actually only few and far between; no matter what kind of trick Ling Tian performed to achieve what he did, it was still the first time from his life for decades that he had suffered such a loss! Therefore, he could not help but have a wave of curiosity. No matter the alignment of youth, good or evil, to have someone young standing at the peak of the martial world, on the vast earth, he would probably be the only one!

Ling Tian pulled the forecaster's left hand lovingly, rushing towards the small shop by the roadside. The counter staff, upon seeing that it was Young Noble Ling, hurriedly came out of the place to greet him personally, while groaning misery within. However, he did not dare to show any doubt. Before Ling Tian opened his mouth, the owner had already arranged the best room for him!

After offering the guards to settle comfortably outside, Ling Tian brought the man into their room impatiently. However, when Ling Chen and Yu BingYan followed, he could only faintly frown.

Ling Chen immediately caught his point, turned to Yu BingYan and said, “Nona Yu, I feel the young noble will discuss some business. It might not be convenient for us ladies to stay here, so how about we take a walk outside? ”

Yu BingYan hesitated for a while, but seeing that Ling Tian did not urge them to stay, inevitably felt a little disappointed as she nodded her head.

Seeing the two women coming out the door, Ling Tian gestured with his eyes and the four guards outside stood up to follow them.

“Haha, this young noble servant girl is indeed smart, and has high martial talent. Furthermore, he understands you perfectly; this is hard to find, very difficult.” The green-robed fortune teller looked at the figures of the two women walking out. However, what he focused on was Ling Chen's silhouette and his words seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

Ling Tian only smiled as he picked up the teapot and filled their cups, before saying slowly, “Master is generous with his praise, for someone with the status of Master, this girl would be considered mediocre, can't look you in the eye.”

The astrologer in question smiled in return as he replied, “Send a capable assistant as you deal with this old man alone, aren't you afraid this old man will take advantage of you? Based on what I know, even though the skills of the young noble are good, it is only half of what this old man has! ”

Ling Tian laughed, his eyebrows raised suggestively as he replied, “Senior pulled my leg. Why would Senior do such a thing? ”

The green-robed man was unconscious as he paused for a moment, before laughing out loud, “This little friend turned out to be a very smart person!”

Ling Tian waved his hand at the compliment, giving a smile that was not a smile as he said, “Senior praised me too much, I can say the same about you!”

However, Ling Tian inwardly thought, ‘Even if you try something against me, do you think I will be really scared? Don't talk about the fact that your strength is only a level above mine, this doesn't mean you have an advantage. Just based on the high-quality hidden weapons I carried, it would be enough to let you die three times without me having to get out of my seat! You group of ancient people who still hold your blunt weapons, how do you understand the great power of hidden weapons?’

“May I know the purpose of this little friend calling me, is it to tell me something?” The clairvoyant smiled as he asked. Forecasters have ruled out the formalities of very different ages, instead of becoming more natural and uncontrollable. In just a single wave of hands, he no longer cared about his disguise and a sense of natural elegance emanated from his posture, a world apart from his previously pitiful appearance.

The green-robed oracle remained indifferent on the surface, but deep down she was already burning; were you trying to interrogate me? I've given you a lot of face by following you here. How dare you use such a tone against me! The parents here have walked unhindered for decades, why would I allow myself to be on the beck and call a baby like you? I originally thought you were very hidden and very polite, but I was disappointed! I think I should teach you a little lesson…

Seeing Ling Tian carrying the teacup to his lips, the diviner's expression turned cold as his right hand shot upwards without making a sound, touching the teacup. A thread of pure internal energy flowed out from his palm, wrapping himself tightly around the tea cup in Ling Tian's hand like silk.

The moving teacup in Ling Tian's hand suddenly stopped in midair! Ling Tian flicked his sleeve, almost releasing a hidden weapon worth his entire body at him. He then realized that the astrologer's goal was only his teacup and soon realized the astrologer's motive. A deep respect emerged from his heart.

Even under the situation of being completely disrespectful to him, the clairvoyant only exerted a little pressure as a form of demonstration and did not get angry! Just based on this, his mental state was much stronger than most others.

Seeing how he had not made another move after coming into contact with the teacup, Ling Tian understood that the astrologer's intention was to actually compare their strength. By showing his prowess, the clairvoyant only wanted to intimidate Ling Tian, leading him to be extremely relaxed. An extremely pure XianTian internal energy continued to flow from Ling Tian's hands as well, coming into contact with the teacup, and also stopping there.

A small and ordinary teacup made of clay, turned into a battlefield for the two masters of internal strength in an instant! Both of them raised their heads at the same time, smiled at each other, then urged their internal strength simultaneously!

The astrologer's goal was to take over the teacup from Ling Tian's hand, while Ling Tian sent the tea to his mouth! After awakening their strength, the duo's body only gasped once, before the two froze like two wooden puppets.

The teacup is suspended in the middle of the two, the tea in the middle is constantly in a state of change. One moment, it froze and bubbled, almost boiling, then another moment fell back into the cup, emitting cold air while experiencing lightning freezing!

Ling Tian's expression remained indifferent, even though his brows were furrowed. The arm of his right hand that held his teacup did not move in the slightest during this time, drooping horizontally. Its body resembled a thousand-year-old stone, remaining sturdy and stable despite the thousands of years of waves crashing at it, as if it was Mount Tai itself.

A thin smile was painted on the face of the fortune teller, his left hand was circling leisurely while his right hand appeared weakly propping up the teacup. His body was like a deep puddle of water, filled with endless power!

Time passed slowly, second by second.

The sound of excitement resounded from the outside, the frenzy was increasing. It seemed like the guards who were following Ling Tian had gotten to know the people sitting inside and started to rejoice amongst themselves. After a few beers, they began to shout and cheer, the sound of the clanking of cups was heard more and more often.

The private room with the two of them remained silent. The time it took to pour a cup of tea has passed.

Ling Tian grew increasingly shocked in his heart, repeatedly shouting ‘Yes Lord’ at himself. As the saying goes, ‘Three years may pass without a transaction, but one transaction lets you eat for three years’, [1] Ling Tian thinks that he is at the top in Sky Bearing Capital. Although words of humility hung from his mouth, he was arrogant in his heart, believing that he was number one under the heavens. He had cultivated the internal strength of the purest XianTian internal energy since he was born, and his cultivation art was the epitome of all XianTian arts in his past life. Therefore, he hoped that he would have no competition on the road to success in this world!

How did he know that a random fortune teller he had met on the streets actually possessed the same strength as him, and was even stronger in the slightest? This was not everything, one's internal strength was not only pure, it showed signs that he had stepped into the XianTian stage! Ling Tian felt even more vigilant now. In this world, how many people are there like that? Could it be that his luck was so good that he could meet the number one expert in this world just by doing an excursion? This is highly unlikely.

However, little did Ling Tian know that the astrologer's heart was already in spectacular chaos. If not for the fact that he had trained his mental state to the highest level, he would probably have lost his jaw on the scene by now! Previously, he had already overestimated Ling Tian's strength as much as possible. But now, he learned that this teenager had actually been cultivating to such a deep stage!

However, the author might interpret it literally as a long time without meeting any martial arts opponents, but once he meets her, it just has to be an expert.
