Chapter 4: Ling Family's Reputation Shaken

  At this time, Wang Meng was completely panicked. "What to do, what to do, if I resist, I might die, can't escape at all! This kid's aura has reached the peak of the first-class, and even higher! Am I, Wang Meng, going to die in the hands of a child? What a joke, it's really a joke."

  "Ten'en Ha!" Xiao Ling Tianyu's attack struck out with momentum. Wang Meng gave up resisting and closed his eyes, waiting for the arrival of death.

  "Boom!" A deafening explosion. Wang Meng and Little Ling Tianyu blasted a five-meter diameter crater around them. Wang Meng opened his eyes, ecstatically shouting: "I'm not dead! Haha, I'm not dead!" At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Wang Meng, exuding an extraordinary aura, giving off the vibe of a superior being who commands respect without even trying. Wang Meng felt like a three-year-old child in front of this person. Wasn't this Ling Tianyu's father, Ling Feng, the master of the Ling household? The people around them saw Ling Feng appear and respectfully shouted: "Greetings, Master!" At this time, Ling Tianyang also got up, and together with Ling Tianxue, respectfully called out: "Third Uncle..."

  The people around saw the arrival of the master, and they all thought in their hearts like Ling Tianyang: "This kid is dead this time, the master has come out in person, and he still dares to be so arrogant." Ling Tianxue saw this scene and became worried as Little Ling Tianyu: "Third Uncle, things are not what you think, it's Big Brother..."

  "Father……" Ling Tian Xue's words were not yet finished, but the people around him had already changed their expressions. Originally, they were gloating over his misfortune, but now they all looked like they were about to kneel on the ground. Ling Feng angrily replied: "You little brat, how many times have I told you not to reveal your martial arts skills? How dare you disobey me and ignore my words?" Little Ling Tian Yu lowered his head and replied: "Father, I was wrong, but you always say that I have second-rate abilities. However, I've never actually fought anyone before, so how do I know if I can defeat the enemy? Isn't a true expert supposed to constantly improve through actual combat, gradually becoming stronger?"

  After listening to Xiao Ling Tianyu's words, Ling Feng's face did not show any changes in expression, but in his heart, he was secretly relieved. This child has finally matured a bit. Ling Feng turned around and said to the people around him: "Today's matter, let's keep it confidential as much as possible. I know that paper can't hold fire, but I hope it doesn't spread too fast, do you understand?"

  "Got it!" The people around responded in unison. However, unbeknownst to them, the higher-ups of the Ling family, who were hiding in the shadows, took today's events very seriously. How could such a big commotion only attract so few people? Ling Feng sternly said to Little Ling Tianyu, "Come with me, I have some questions for you." Then he told the people around him, "All of you, retreat!" The people around them dispersed one after another.

  At this time, Ling Tianyang also silently did not speak out, but in his heart he was secretly vowing: "Ling Tianyu, one day we will make up for today's loss!"

  The master of the Ling family's study room. At this time, Ling Feng and Little Ling Tianyu were discussing something.

  "Tian Yu, why is it that you, who only possess early second-rate strength, can defeat someone with peak second-rate strength? Moreover, I sensed your aura at the time, which had already reached the peak of first-rate and even slightly surpassed it!" Ling Feng asked curiously.

  "Dad, aren't you angry with me anymore?" Little Ling Tianyu asked with a hint of excitement.

  "Seeing my child turn out so well, how could I be angry? I recall that as a father, I thought you didn't listen to what I said at the time and got slightly angry for a moment. Now I'm worried that you might have cultivated some mysterious evil technique. Quickly tell me, what's going on?"

  Ling Tianyu saw his father and didn't get angry, instead replied: "Father, when I was cultivating, I don't know why, but a thread of crimson red true energy appeared in my body. And once I use this crimson red true energy, its power becomes exceptionally strong. As for what the situation is or how it came about, I also don't know."

  "Like this, you emit that crimson true energy, let me take a look." Ling Feng commanded.

  Xiao Ling Tianyu then circulated the crimson true energy, gathering a fist-sized ball on his palm. The ball of true energy emitted waves of powerful aura, with each wave causing ripples that blew open page after page of books around them. Ling Feng furrowed his brow and said, "Your true energy is truly strange. Normally, people who cultivate true energy have blue-colored energy, but yours has this crimson color mixed in. Moreover, it seems like this true energy is stronger than ordinary true energy by more than one level. Come with me to ask your great-grandfather, maybe he knows what's going on." After saying that, he took Xiao Ling Tianyu towards the back mountain.

  In the cave behind the mountain, Ling Tianyu and the other two were carefully observing that crimson red aura. The old ancestor of the Ling family exclaimed: "Strange, strange! How can such a strange thing happen? Tianyu, think carefully about how you got this crimson red aura?"

  Little Ling Tianyu scratched his head and said, "I really don't know, I was just cultivating and he suddenly appeared." The old ancestor of the Ling family and Ling Feng both had thoughtful expressions. Little Ling Tianyu secretly complained in his heart, "I'm dizzy, it's not that I don't want to say, but every time I want to tell you, it's as if there's a strange power suppressing me, making me unable to speak."

  At this time, Ling Feng asked: "Grandfather, will Tianyu's cultivation of such true energy have any impact on Tianyu's future?"

  Ling Jia Lao Zu replied, "It shouldn't be, this power is emitting a majestic and righteous aura, and its dominance is absolute. It's unlikely to be anything evil. If Tian Yu can transform all the true energy in his body into this crimson-colored true energy, it might bring him enormous benefits for his future. Easily killing people who are stronger than him would not be difficult at all."

  At this time, Ling Feng and Little Ling Tianyu both let out a sigh of relief. Ling Feng put down his worries because his child's future was not affected. Little Ling Tianyu let out a sigh of relief because he had finally fooled them and didn't have to listen to these two people asking questions anymore.

  "Child, you've been extraordinary since you were young. Your innate talents have left people speechless. Now that you've cultivated such a unique true energy, you must continue to cultivate it well and not give up. You must be strong in the face of future difficulties. Do you know? Lately, I've been feeling uneasy, sensing that something big is about to happen. This might be a disaster for our Ling family, or even the entire Tianfeng Continent. And then you, this once-in-a-thousand-years genius, appeared. Perhaps our Ling family, and even the Tianfeng Continent, need your salvation. The emergence of a genius may signal the arrival of great difficulties." After hearing the words of the old ancestor of the Ling family, even Ling Feng began to worry, as those with high cultivation levels, over 200 years old, generally had very accurate premonitions.

  Seeing the concern on Ling Jia's old ancestor and Ling Feng's face, Little Ling Tianyu patted his own chest and confidently replied: "Don't worry, Grandfather Zeng, Father, I will definitely not be lazy, I will definitely not disappoint everyone's expectations. I will become an unparalleled strongman, protect the Ling family, protect the Tianfeng Continent, protect Grandfather Zeng, and protect Mother and Father." The old ancestor of the Ling family was relieved: "Child, go ahead, shine with infinite light on this grand stage! I have a feeling that the Tianfeng Continent is just a small place, only by surpassing the Golden Dan period can one leave this small place." Little Ling Tianyu nodded silently, thinking to himself: "I will, I am the protagonist of this world."

  Late at night, Ling Tianyu and Ling Feng returned to their room. Little Ling Tianyu still sat for a while as usual before going to sleep. A quiet night...

  The next day, the Ling family was abuzz with discussion. The young master of the Ling family, a three-year-old child, had actually accepted a challenge from a second-rate peak expert. The young master of the Ling family had become the hottest topic among the people of the Ling family. Wang Meng heard others discussing and felt ashamed, unable to lift his head. Others looked at Wang Meng with fingers pointing and whispering.

  "See that? That's Wang Meng, the one who was defeated by Young Master Xiao. He's even the captain of the guard. How embarrassing, a second-rate peak expert like him was actually beaten by a little kid."

  "Yes, yes, he actually has the nerve to come out and wander around. If I were him, I would have found a hole in the ground to hide in and never come out again."

  Upon hearing the crowd's murmurs, Wang Meng's face turned red with rage, and his pent-up anger finally burst forth as he bellowed at the people of the Ling family: "Have you had enough? If you have the guts, come and fight me one on one!" As soon as Wang Meng roared, the people around him scurried away in all directions. At this moment, although Wang Meng's anger still lingered, he recalled the instant when he clashed with Little Ling Tianyu that day - Ling Tianyu's terrifying aura, his overbearing and extraordinary demeanor, still made Wang Meng shiver inwardly. At this moment, Wang Meng thought to himself: "I, Wang Meng, am absolutely not some insignificant nobody; this young master, who is only three years old, has already reached such a realm - it seems I should try to get along with him and follow him closely, so that in the future, I can also rise to prominence and no longer be just a small security team leader."

  This day, Xiao Ling Tianyu did not go out of his room to the training grounds to practice, but instead sat in meditation in his room. It seemed that Xiao Ling Tianyu had sensed his own problem. Ever since he used that overbearing power, he always felt like his heart was floating and his energy was restless. Apparently, his mental state was still not good enough to control that overbearing power, and he must raise his mental state before he could use that mysterious power at will, and also be prepared for future events. His father had once told Xiao Ling Tianyu: "Practicing martial arts is not just about practicing strength, but also about cultivating the heart. Only when one's mental state is sufficient can they use their techniques as they wish, like a fish in water. If one's mental state is insufficient, it is easy to become distracted and restless during cultivation, and even go crazy or die from exhaustion.
