THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 134

Even though Ling Tian's internal energy was abnormally abundant, it was still inferior to the fortune teller. But this is not the sad part. Ling Tian's internal energy was suspiciously pure and free of impurities despite being so abundant and the purity of Ling Tian's energy could even be said to have surpassed that of a fortune teller. This made him unable to comprehend the situation; for someone as young as Ling Tian, how could he do both at once?

The green-robed fortune teller was naturally unaware that Ling Tian did not lack the resources to cultivate his internal energy. First using the boundless XianTian energy within his mother's womb to cultivate, second was the cultivation method he used as a top-class manual. It would be strange then, if he could not reach such abundant internal energy! However, if Ling Tian's advantage stopped here, the clairvoyant would be shocked, but he wouldn't feel that it was so heaven-defying.

The real factor that made the clairvoyant angry was the fact that during the internal energy competition, the method Ling Tian used to manipulate his internal energy was the only one!

Under Ling Tian's manipulation, the internal energy was first hot and then cold, sometimes fast and then slow; filled with unexpected and eccentric changes in its characteristics. This almost caused him to suffer injuries in the beginning! A unique style in using energy, it was a first for the clairvoyant! Ling Tian's internal energy also seemed to be fickle, constantly fluctuating, one moment flowing profusely like a river, another moment sturdy like a mountain facing a tsunami. Just when you start adjusting to his movements, another change will occur. Gentle as the spring breeze, cold as a blizzard in winter, silently overcame all defenses and attacked from all four points and eight directions! Slowly but surely, it would weaken the opponent's strength!

During the first few waves of attacks, the clairvoyant had suffered quite a lot, relying on the experience he had accumulated for half of his life as well as giving his all, to maintain his stance. In those few moments, he felt as if he had crossed the line between life and death several times!

This was not to say that the clairvoyant was just subpar, unable to compare to Ling Tian. Instead, his strength could actually be considered above Ling Tian's. Thus, he had only become a dead end; if there was another random person who possessed the same internal strength as Ling Tian fighting him, that person would have long suffered internal injuries, after all, maybe even die on the spot. After all, among all the martial competitions, the internal strength competition was the most dangerous! In the end, he had to rely on the pure energy cultivated in the past decade, to withstand Ling Tian's mad attack!

Just as the clairvoyant thought that he had fully read Ling Tian's internal energy route flow, and guarded himself tightly to wait for Ling Tian's attack, the, the last internal energy underwent another change! It turned into an unbroken dense chain, not attacking blindly, but instead looking for a weak link! To think it was actually imitating a fortune teller to take a strict guarding attitude!

He received a huge shock from Ling Tian's sudden change, feeling as if he had just thrown his heaviest punch but landed in a cotton sack. This kind of void, which was unable to produce enough power to counter his attacks, almost made him suffer internal irregularities. Fortunately, the clairvoyant ability not only ended up there like any other normal person and managed to forcefully pass through.

No matter how he increased or decreased his strength, the soothsayer had always mysteriously been in a disadvantageous position; although his internal strength had clearly surpassed Ling Tian in a reasonable amount.

Ling Tian's heavenly Shocking Dragon Formula lies in the suppression of the two words, the shocking dragon. This was no coincidence, a dragon from the Nine Heavens was basically strange, now cruel and aggressive, gentle next. One moment it could summon a storm, the next one disappeared into thin air! It was definitely the most famous figure in Chinese history during the millennium! With so many unique characteristics, as long as one could cultivate to the seventh layer and above, the nature of their energy could be changed based on their will, causing the opponent to be unable to seek any advantage.

It was a pity that Ling Tian had yet to properly step into a certain stage in cultivation, thus making him engage in prolonged attacks without any measure of success. Changing his tactics at the last moment and gambling for success is a last resort. But, it was a pity that Ling Tian was ultimately unable to cope with the fortune teller. Although he appeared in a disadvantageous position, this was only because Ling Tian's manipulation was unique and strange, putting him in the upper hand. As the saying goes, the first ‘The first one is the strongest, the second one is weaker, and the third one is not at all effective’, Ling Tian thought of using his strange method of controlling his internal energy to break through his defenses on the first try. Turned into a strictly guarded state is the state of ‘both’. As long as the clairvoyant continued to persist, forcing Ling Tian into a state ‘third time was not effective’, then he could snatch victory from him. Thus, for this internal strength competition, Ling Tian could be said to lose if they were to stand trial.

Ling Tian's expression was slightly pale, his mind spinning continuously as he thought of using his hidden weapon to gain victory. However, since the hidden weapon was too poisonous, it would definitely end in the demise of the clairvoyant. Ling Tian had no irreconcilable hatred for him, so there was no point in using such a method. In a depressed state, he did not realize that the clairvoyant in front of him was already slightly sweating, his body trembling from time to time! Although the fortune teller realized that victory was within his grasp, he did not dare to lower his guard as any mistake would result in his total defeat. He was greatly amazed by Ling Tian's exquisite control over his internal energy. However, due to this same skill, it narrowed the distance between the two of them to a point that was almost negligible.

From afar, the laughter and voices of the two women spread out, Ling Chen and Yu BingYan had already returned!

The fortuneteller felt his heart beat violently and he immediately released his internal energy, using his superiority in abundant energy to seal every hole in his defense and drew slightly, maintaining the deadlock between the two once again. Ling Tian, who researched every tidal of his internal energy, found that the power of the clairvoyant had increased, but did not bother to attack, which made him question the astrologer's motive. The astrologer will probably know that a simple strike will probably give him victory. However, he chose to contract and stabilize his defense. If Ling Tian grasped another chance to counterattack, the clairvoyant would not be able to return to his throne of victory.

After competing to this stage, the two had a rough understanding of each other. This was especially true for Ling Tian, he was now even more respectful to the fortune teller for taking the risk to recant his energy out of goodwill. Although he had the ability to break out of his predicament, Ling Tian had predicted that it would not be that easy to free himself from any traps completely and thus give his life to his opponent to decide. Just for this astrologer point, Ling Tian already respected him a lot!

“I've lost!”

“You won!”

Different words, but with the same result, sounded from the mouths of the two of them. Ling Tian and the clairvoyant both stared in shock for a moment, before laughing out loud.

Because of the astrologer's skill in martial means as well as his profound cultivation, even higher than his, based solely on pure strength without any tricks, the clairvoyant would win without a doubt. Thus, Ling Tian had admitted his loss. Furthermore, the clairvoyant was straightforward and honest; even though he was facing a life and death scenario, he still chose to brave the danger of drawing back his energy. This was something Ling Tian would never do; thus, he could admit his loss sincerely!

As for the clairvoyant, he was impressed by the confidence and certainty in which Ling Tian manipulated his internal energy, his ease of doing so made him bow in awe! With so many unexpected cards in his hand, anyone with a little martial arts background would understand how dangerous it was for one to continue practicing like that! However, Ling Tian could actually reach the realm of great success by doing so, just this incredible talent was enough to look at the latter with an entirely new level of respect. The second point was to give him some kind of boost; for someone of Ling Tian's age to have achieved this much, it was unprecedented and might never happen again! When he was Ling Tian's age, he probably only cultivated 3/10 of Ling Tian's current strength, though,

His words were different, yet when spoken, the impression the two sides had of each other changed again, their good intentions were increasing even more! Since ancient times, it has been said that there is no top place for wisdom, but there is no place for a second in the way of martial arts. Especially for top exponents like Ling Tian and the clairvoyant, it would be easier to kill them than to make them say the words “I have lost!” This was even more so for a fortune teller, a senior who had explored the world unhindered and could be considered a master of a generation. To truly admit his defeat to a junior so freely, Ling Tian could not help but praise his unfettered spirit.

As for the fortune teller, his evaluation of Ling Tian rose by a few more points. Ling Tian was a young man who possessed frightening skills, as well as an immortal spirit, at the peak of his hot-blooded youth. However, there was not the slightest hint of arrogance in his attitude, his mental state was as stable and calm as a stone, not at all inferior to those old masters! The astrologer could not help but appreciate Ling Tian more; such cold-headed young people were few!

The fact was that he had no idea Ling Tian had come from another world. Being the object of intimidation and ridicule since young, in order to protect his life, he had long learned how to put his unhappiness behind him. After a long time of influence, Ling Tian's style became like that. To achieve the goal, win or lose, it doesn't matter.

In Ling Tian's heart, intelligence, as well as generosity, the fortuneteller gave him a pleasant surprise. Although they only interacted for a short time, for the clairvoyant to be able to read them well, speaks volumes about his superior intelligence.

When the two heard the voices of the women coming, the clairvoyant reacted first and chose to pull his hand! In that stalemate, if Ling Tian took advantage of him drawing his strength to launch a surprise attack, even if he did not die, the fortuneteller would suffer a huge injury! The fortuneteller knew that Ling Tian wanted to hide his strength from Yu BingYan, and thus knew that Ling Tian would not recklessly kill him in front of him! This was the reason he dared to risk his life.

From outside the room, Ling Chen's respectful voice sounded, “Noble Young, Ling Chen has returned with the woman.” However, Ling Tian simply continued to smile while staring at the fortune teller, as if he had heard nothing from her.

Shortly after, he heard Ling Chen whisper, “Nona Yu, it seems like they have not finished their conversation, how about we wait outside?” Yu BingYan's light voice could be heard, but there was a bitterness hidden within it. This was followed by the sound of footsteps away from the door.
