Chapter 6: Domineering Woman (1/2)

The elder frowned, and Chen Manqing glanced at Shen Long. Though she also disliked Lin Tian, after his apology she was ready to let it go. Shen Long’s superior attitude made her uncomfortable too.

Lin Tian’s gaze fell on Shen Long, saying nothing for a while before shaking his head and sighing: “Ah.”

After sighing, Lin Tian put his hands behind his back and walked downhill.

This gesture undoubtedly enraged Shen Long, and even Chen Manqing thought this guy was acting too much.

With that elderly manner, did he really think he was a martial arts master?

“Stop right there!” Shen Long shouted angrily, moving his right leg forward toward Lin Tian, twisting his waist, instantly closing in on him!

Seeing Shen Long directly attack with the Baji Fist’s killing move “Iron Mountain Lean,” both the elder and Chen Manqing’s expressions changed slightly. The elder was about to scold him, while Chen Manqing moved to stop Shen Long immediately!

Baji Fist was known for its fierce and bold style, so its practitioners tended to be extreme and quick-tempered. Shen Long was even more so, actually attacking Lin Tian over a mere disagreement!

Sensing the force coming from behind, Lin Tian didn’t move his body, just shifted his foot, quickly turned around, and channeled spiritual energy to his right shoulder to meet Shen Long’s attack!

Bang!

“Ah!”

Two sounds rang out simultaneously – first was Shen Long flying backward and hitting the ground, second was his scream after landing.

In contrast, Lin Tian stood motionless!

Though Qi Condensation was bottom-tier in the cultivation world, it was still a method of immortal cultivation. If Shen Long had mastered Baji Fist to perfection, Lin Tian might have struggled, but at his current level, Lin Tian didn’t even take him seriously!

This scene left Chen Manqing who had rushed over to stop them dumbfounded.

It also made the elder swallow his words of rebuke!

His eyes flashed as he looked deeply at Lin Tian.

After getting up, Shen Long rubbed his shoulder with an ashen face, his eyes showing strong disbelief and fear!

He couldn’t understand how this seemingly frail youth had the strength to hurt him with one strike!

He was already a peak external force master!

In martial arts, excluding performative styles, true practitioners divided martial arts into five levels: external force, internal force, hidden force, transformative force, and master.

Reaching peak external force at his age was his pride, but now, before this youth with an eternally calm face, his pride was trampled to nothing!

“You… you…” Shen Long pointed at Lin Tian with trembling fingers, not from fear but from anger!

After the initial shock passed, Shen Long’s chest was filled with endless rage!

As a disciple of a Baji Fist master, he was always the center of attention wherever he went.

Now he’d been injured by an unknown nobody, and in front of the girl he liked!

Lin Tian looked at him coldly and said: “Martial prowess isn’t something to be proud of, but rather the confidence to do what’s right!”

Leaving these words behind, he didn’t even bother looking at Shen Long again and walked down the mountain.

Chen Manqing started, wanting to call out to him, but was stopped by the elder.

“Grandfather…” Chen Manqing looked questioningly at the elder, wondering why he stopped her.

The elder stroked his beard, his eyes flashing with wisdom, saying: “If he appeared here, he must also be from this academy. There will be plenty of chances to meet him later. I know what you want to ask, but what he just said was right – we were the ones who went too far!”

Chen Manqing’s beautiful eyes flickered. That sentence just now?

She repeated it several times in her mind, finding Lin Tian’s words increasingly reasonable. Thinking back to her initial displeasure, her pretty face reddened with embarrassment.

The elder caught Chen Manqing’s reaction and nodded with satisfaction, but seeing Shen Long’s still resentful face, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

“Shen Long, if there’s a next time, you needn’t stay here anymore. I’ll have your master take you back!” the elder coldly dropped these words before turning to enter the wooden house.

Shen Long’s face changed as he gritted out: “Yes!”

But the resentment in his eyes only grew stronger!

Chen Manqing glanced at him before following the elder into the wooden house.

She was curious – when did the school get someone like this?

For Lin Tian, it was just a minor incident. Someone like Shen Long wasn’t worth his attention.

Joke’s on them – anyone who could intimidate Young Master Lin probably hadn’t been born yet!

He cultivated on Qiuxia Mountain until dinner time before coming down. Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, his phone rang.

He looked at it and saw it was his mother calling, so he answered: “Mom, what’s up?”

“Xiao Tian, there’s an exhibition by some important person at Maple Forest Club tonight. We were invited, but your dad and I are both tied up. Could you go instead?” Yang Wanrong’s voice came through.
