"Ling Chen!" Qin Dong frowned, looking coldly at Ling Chen across from him, and said, "Your strength is not bad, I underestimated it earlier. But don’t be too happy too soon; I was only using fifty percent of my strength. If I use my full strength, you wouldn’t be my match at all."
"Is that so?" Ling Chen looked at Qin Dong with a half-smile. He had seen shaless people before, but never soone so shaless. Clearly defeated, yet still clinging to pride. Ling Chen clapped his hands and said, "Qin Dong, if you’re not convinced, then let’s go again. Co!" Ling Chen beckoned provocatively with a finger.
Seeing this, Qin Dong couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated. During their exchange just now, he hadn’t even touched Ling Chen’s body before being blasted away by a strong force. This showed that Ling Chen’s strength was formidable. Qin Dong was a Dragon List expert and ranked within the top five, yet Ling Chen could easily defeat him, indicating that Ling Chen’s strength could rank in the top three of the Dragon List, or perhaps even higher.
Damn! Truly a troubleso opponent.
While thinking, Qin Dong glanced at Qin Gang beside him and gestured with his eyes. As Qin Dong’s biological brother, Qin Gang naturally understood his brother’s aning. His heart stirred, and he imdiately said, "Big brother, didn’t Master say he had sothing important to discuss with you? Let’s let him off today and not delay Master’s important matters."
Qin Dong nodded and said in a deep voice, "Ling Chen, if it weren’t for other matters today, I would certainly compete with you. You just wait; sooner or later, I’ll deal with you. Tong Ye, Qin Gang, let’s go!"
Watching Qin Dong and the others swiftly leave, Ling Chen chuckled lightly. This Qin Dong truly is a shaless person. Oh well, just a petty person, no need to waste energy on him.
However, Qin Dong’s appearance made Ling Chen lose interest in continuing to stroll around, so he simply returned to the villa alone.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these days, Ling Chen stayed within the villa complex and didn’t go out. Every morning, he would wake up on ti and stand by the window, watching the rooftop of the villa across the way. Just as he expected, in the early morning, the mysterious Heavenly List expert would practice martial arts on the rooftop.
However, what Ling Chen felt regret about was that since that day, the elderly man had not displayed the Unity of Heaven and Man realm again. Originally, Ling Chen wanted to experience more of the Unity of Heaven and Man realm to gain so inspiration and understanding, but now he could only give up.
That morning, after seven o’clock, the old man stopped practicing martial arts and returned to the villa alone.
Seeing the person leave, Ling Chen also prepared to go downstairs for breakfast. But just as he was drawing the curtains, he suddenly saw soone approaching the villa across the street.
Wang Hao?
Ling Chen was taken aback. Why is he here?
Even more surprising to Ling Chen was that Wang Hao actually knocked on the door of the opposite villa. Not only that, the person who greeted Wang Hao was the old man who had just been practicing martial arts on the rooftop.
Seeing Wang Hao respectfully greet the other, Ling Chen couldn’t help but be curious. Could Wang Hao know that old man?
After Wang Hao t with the old man, the two entered the room. Although Ling Chen desperately wanted to know what they were talking about, eavesdropping was sothing he couldn’t bring himself to do. Moreover, with a formidable Heavenly List expert inside, he likely couldn’t keep his presence hidden from them.
Thinking it over, Ling Chen had no choice but to give up on the idea.
During breakfast, Ling Chen was still thinking about the eting between Wang Hao and the old man. For so reason, he felt the purpose of Wang Hao visiting the old man wasn’t simple.
Unfortunately, his relationship with Wang Hao was diocre, not even enough to call them friends; otherwise, he might have asked more about it.
He Ziyun, sitting nearby, seed to sense Ling Chen’s thoughts and asked, "What are you thinking? Not a word from you early in the morning, it doesn’t seem like your style."
"It’s nothing." Ling Chen paused and then described what he had just seen.
"Wang Hao? The disciple from Yangxin Pavilion you ntioned?" He Ziyun asked curiously, "Could he know that old man? Right! Didn’t you say Wang Hao’s Master is a Heavenly List expert? Maybe the old man is an old friend of his Master, and he’s simply visiting a senior this ti. Co on, don’t think too much about it; it’s just a trivial matter."
"No!" Ling Chen shook his head. He always felt that the matter wasn’t simple.
Oh well, it’s useless to overthink it; I should wait for an opportunity to figure it out in the future.
During the martial arts seminar, the host had clearly said that everyone had only five days for preparation.
Those five days passed quickly, almost in a blink of an eye.
Tomorrow is the highlight of the martial arts seminar. Yet, until now, Ling Chen still doesn’t know what the main event will be.
The next morning, Ling Chen ca to the rooftop, standing alone on the edge, eyes sharply watching the mountains in the distance.
"What are you looking at?"
Suddenly, an old voice reached Ling Chen’s ears.
Ling Chen turned and saw that it was the old man from the villa across the way who spoke. At this mont, the old man stood on the rooftop, wearing a loose-fitting white practice suit, with kind brows and eyes, a faint smile on his face, giving off a peaceful feeling.
The words reached Ling Chen’s ears, and he couldn’t help but be amazed. The distance between the two villas was about thirty ters, yet the old man’s voice ca through clearly, as if they were speaking face to face.
As expected of soone who has reached the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, truly impressive!
"Senior." Ling Chen clasped his fists in a polite gesture.
"You’re the one who’s been secretly watching my martial arts practice these days, aren’t you?"
Hearing this, Ling Chen felt his face heat up and embarrassedly scratched his head. For these past few days, he had been hiding behind the window watching the old man practice, thinking that with the window and curtain as cover, he wouldn’t be discovered. Little did he expect he was unable to hide it.
"Senior, I didn’t an any harm, just... just that I’ve never seen the Unity of Heaven and Man realm before, and I was curious, so I couldn’t help but take a few more looks. I hope you don’t mind."
The old man smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, I’m not that petty. Watching a few tis won’t lose anything. However, with your current strength, even if you see the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, you won’t be able to grasp its mysteries. You need to rank at the top three of the Earthly List to touch the threshold of Unity of Heaven and Man. But rember, such a profound realm can only be achieved through destiny and opportunity."
"Destiny and opportunity?"
"Indeed." The old man nodded, "After reaching the Heavenly List, it’s no longer about talent and aptitude; it’s destiny that plays the crucial role. Young man, being so young and already among the ranks of Earthly List experts shows your great talent. In another decade or so, you might have the chance to encounter the Unity of Heaven and Man realm."
