Chapter 3: Stealth Sign

  At this time, the old ancestor of the Ling family said warmly to Little Ling Tianyu: "Child, Grandpa Zeng and you meet for the first time, say, what do you want? Grandpa Zeng will try his best to satisfy your requirements." Little Ling Tianyu scratched his head shyly and said: "I'm still young, every day I just practice my skills, living a normal life, there's nothing special I want..." The old ancestor of the Ling family smiled and shook his head after hearing this. At this time, Ling Feng interrupted: "Grandfather, why not give the stealth symbol to Tianyu? Tianyu is a rare talent that appears once in a thousand years, and he will definitely be the successor of our Ling family in the future. If outsiders know about his existence, they will surely have ulterior motives. Before he grows up, no matter what treasure it is, it's useless. Preserving one's life is the most important thing." The old ancestor of the Ling family thought for a moment and said: "Feng'er is right, then I'll give this stealth symbol to Tianyu!"

  After finishing, he took out a small jade token from his clothes. The jade token had an obscure character engraved on it, which was an ancient and time-honored word. Little Ling Tianyu curiously asked, "Grandfather Zeng, what is this hidden symbol for?" Ling Jia Laozu patiently explained, "As the name suggests, the hidden symbol can make a person invisible for half an hour. After using it, even someone at the Golden Elixir peak would find it difficult to detect. However, after using it once, you have to wait seven days before you can use it again. As for those above the Golden Elixir realm, I don't know." Little Ling Tianyu had a look of sudden realization, and then asked in surprise, "Is there an even more powerful realm than the Golden Elixir?" Ling Jia Laozu laughed and said, "Silly child, of course! Cultivation has no limits. I hope you can reach that realm. Five hundred years ago, someone reached that realm, but now nobody can. It seems like something is lacking in this world, making it impossible for people to reach." In his heart, Little Ling Tianyu secretly vowed, "I must cultivate to the pinnacle of the world and become an existence beyond the Golden Elixir realm, even higher, farther, and stronger." Silently, a strong will was born, and Little Ling Tianyu's state of mind became more complete.

  Ling Feng and the three of them chatted in the cave until late at night, Ling Feng took Little Ling Tianyu away from the cave. After returning to his bedroom, Ling Feng and Little Ling Tianyu went back to their respective beds to sleep.

  A night without words.

  The next day, a faint light crept into Xiaoling Tianyu's room, and the warm sunlight shone on Xiaoling Tianyu's delicate and lovely face. Xiaoling Tianyu habitually rubbed his blurry eyes. After doing some simple washing up, he ran to the kitchen, ate something simple, and then ran to his own practice arena, because of Xiaoling Tianyu's existence, the Ling family had an important secret, so the Ling family specially prepared a place for Xiaoling Tianyu to practice. Even the direct descendants of the Ling family did not know what kind of person Ling Tianyu was. The high-level members of the Ling family claimed that Xiaoling Tianyu was born with a disease and could not stay out of bed for long periods, only able to spend each day on his own bed.

  Xiao Ling Tianyu was still practicing his skills as usual, resting on the ground when he got tired and continuing to practice after a while. One day, while Xiao Ling Tianyu was resting, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind: "I heard Father say that I have already reached the realm of a second-rate master, but I have never had contact with others, and every day I stay in my own small world, this big Ling family has never left my room, parents' room, kitchen and practice field. It's really boring. Why not go around various places in the Ling family today?"

  After thinking about it, Ling Tianyu ran back to his room, rummaged through his closet, and brought out a ghost mask that his mother had given him on his second birthday.

  In the Ling family garden, there were two children, a boy and a girl. The boy looked bright and handsome, about 11 or 12 years old. Next to him was a round-faced, rosy-cheeked little girl who looked extremely cute, about 5 or 6 years old. These two children were the younger siblings of Ling Tianyu, the boy's name was Ling Tianyang and the girl's name was Ling Tianxue. Ling Tianyang was the son of Ling Tianyu's second uncle, while Ling Tianxue was the daughter of Ling Tianyu's fourth uncle.

  At this time, Ling Tianyang mischievously said to Ling Tianxue: "Little sister, yesterday I became a third-rate master, isn't that awesome?" Ling Tianxue didn't give him any face and replied: "Hmph, what's so great about it? A third-rate master can't be that powerful."

  Ling Tianyang, who was proud of himself but didn't get praised by his little sister, felt uncomfortable in his heart. He loudly said to Ling Tianxue: "Hmph, I'm a third-rate master! Today I'll let you see my power! I'll go find someone right now to show you my strength!" After saying that, he looked around.

  At this time, a child who looked about 7 or 8 years old entered his line of sight. This child was wearing a mask and ignored Ling Tianyang's existence, walking directly past him.

  Isn't this Little Ling Tianyu? Due to the mysterious cultivation method, Ling Tianyu's body has grown exceptionally fast, and his height is now similar to that of a 7 or 8-year-old child. How mature for his age! Every young member of the Ling family who sees Ling Tianyang respectfully calls him "Young Master". But this masked kid actually dares to ignore him, and on top of that, he had just been scorned by his own cousin, so his anger ignites. He loudly shouts at Ling Tianyu: "You! Come here!"

  Xiao Ling Tianyu turned around and asked curiously: "Calling me?"

  Upon hearing Xiao Ling Tianyu's calm and unhurried response, Ling Tianyang became even more irritated: "Nonsense, who else were you supposed to call?"

  "Oh, what's up?" asked Xiao Ling Tianyu.

  "What's going on? You say what's going on? Do you know who I am?" Ling Tianyang said loudly.

  Xiao Ling Tianyu felt a sense of inexplicable annoyance: "I'm going, who are you to mind my business? If there's nothing else, I'll leave." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

  "Halt!" Ling Tianyang shouted loudly.

  This time, Xiao Ling Tianyu was a bit angry, his voice raised slightly as he said: "What's wrong with you, why are you so weird? Are you annoying or not? Just say what you want to do quickly!"

  Ling Tianyang said: "I'm the young master of the Ling family, I'm only eleven years old and already a third-rate expert." After finishing speaking, Ling Tianyang proudly puffed out his chest.

  "Oh..." Little Ling Tianyu replied.

  "Oh, what's with the 'oh', you should be feeling the pressure! This is ridiculous, I'm so angry! I'm really going to die from anger!" Ling Tianyang shouted. At this time, Ling Tianxue saw this scene and burst out laughing: "Haha... You're really interesting, what's your name?"

  "My name you will know later."

  Ling Tianyang saw his cousin's mockery and the two of them ignoring him, so he got angry. His anger was directed at Little Ling Tianyu. Ling Tianyang furiously said: "You stinky little brat who thinks you're above everyone else! Today, I, Ling Tianyang, will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!" After saying that, he charged towards Little Ling Tianyu. At this time, Ling Tiansnow reminded him to be careful.

  Ling Tianyang kicked towards Little Ling Tianyu. Little Ling Tianyu calmly grabbed Ling Tianyang's leg and threw him away, sending him flying four or five meters. Ling Tianyang cried out in pain: "Ah, my butt, my butt!" At this time, Ling Xue and the surrounding guards were stunned, what was going on? A seven or eight-year-old boy had easily defeated Young Master, who was supposed to be a third-rate expert at least! But just as they thought that, they realized that it wouldn't look good if Young Master got beaten up.

  In this way, the six third-rate masters' guards rushed towards Ling Tianyu. However, they only thought about helping their young master regain his dignity and didn't think about how their young master was easily defeated by the child in front of them earlier. The six guards charged forward. "Ahh..." Only a few miserable cries were heard, and all six guards fell to the ground.

  "Who dares to cause trouble at the Ling family?" A rough voice reached Xiao Ling Tianyu's ears. A figure entered Ling Tianyu's line of sight. At this time, a giant with a height of nearly two meters, full of muscles all over his body, was the leader of one of the Ling family's guard squads, Wang Meng, a second-rate master. The ordinary guards of the Ling family were third-rate masters, and those who could become squad leaders were at least second-rate, with each squad consisting of twenty people. First-rate masters could become battalion commanders, leading several squads, and eventually becoming the commander-in-chief, with each commander-in-chief leading five battalions. As long as one reached the Xiantian realm, they could become an elder of the Ling family.

  At this time, Wang Meng asked: "Little doll, who are your parents, how dare you make trouble in my Ling family, don't you know who you're hitting?" Little Ling Tianyu coldly snorted: "You don't have the qualifications to ask about my parents."

  "Good arrogant little brat, today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your family's adults." After finishing speaking, he turned to attack Little Ling Tianyu. Wang Meng threw out a punch, and Little Ling Tianyu didn't show any weakness either, and they clashed head-on in a fierce battle. "Tian Yan Fist!" Little Ling Tianyu displayed his own fist technique, with waves of external true energy surging towards Wang Meng, who also refused to back down and used his own external true energy to counterattack against Little Ling Tianyu. The two went back and forth, continuing their intense fight.

  The people around were stunned, and even Wang Meng was the same, the bigger the more shocking. Everyone's thoughts were consistent: "Is this really a child? Wang Meng is also one of the top three masters in the small team leader, reaching the peak of second-rate, now this kid actually tied with him, it's really too incredible!"

  The battle had been going on for over ten minutes, and Xiao Ling Tianyu thought to himself: "This won't do, I'll just use my mysterious crimson true energy to end this quickly and then leave with a flourish..."

  At this time, Ling Tianyu operated the crimson true energy. Wang Meng's heart trembled, feeling that his opponent's momentum had completely changed, and a tremble from the soul arose, as if facing a top-notch master...
