Chapter Seven: Sitting and Fighting, My Senior Brother is Not as Good as Me

  Tian Boguang rushed towards Ling Jing with a smile and asked: "Still don't know this little brother's surname and name."

  Ling Jing slightly cupped his fists and said, "I am Ling Jing, a junior of Mount Hua. I have long admired Brother Tian's unparalleled speed with his knife, truly making me feel deeply impressed."

  He avoided mentioning Tian Boguang's notorious reputation as the "Flower Thief", only bringing up his martial arts skills, just to temporarily stabilize him and delay time, so that he could think of a way to rescue Yilin.

  Tian Boguang burst out laughing and said, "Young brother is being polite. Tian certain has some reputation in the Jianghu, I still have some self-awareness. However, when it comes to martial arts, Tian certain still has some confidence."

  Ling Jing smiled on the surface, but his mind was racing. In terms of martial arts, he couldn't even compare to Tian Boguang now. This man was a top-notch master at the third-grade peak, with lightning-fast knife skills that were almost supernatural, enough to rank him among the best in the Jianghu.

  But he himself has not even reached the threshold of the fourth rank, and even if he is very lucky to understand "Fast Sword Thirteen Styles", this sword technique is actually derived from Tian Boguang's "Flying Sand and Stone Fast Knife Thirteen Styles". Moreover, Tian Boguang has been practicing knife techniques for many years, and in terms of power, his own sword technique may still be difficult to surpass Tian Boguang's knife technique.

  In short, he still had to think of another way to deal with Tian Boguang.

  At this time, he tentatively asked Tian Boguang: "Brother Tian, I have an unreasonable request, and I hope Brother Tian will fulfill it."

  Tian Boguang's expression suddenly changed as he said, "Ling brother, you wouldn't also want to stop me from taking this little nun away like Lenghu brother did, would you?"

  Ling Jing maintained a smile on his face, but in his heart he was somewhat resentful. Tian Boguang had been entangled by Linghu Chong and now his mind was extremely sensitive. He had just made a slight mention of it, but the other party had already given him a cold shoulder.

  But now the situation is stronger than people, he had to lower his posture, and Chōta Bokkō laughed: "Brother Tian, what are you talking about? I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so angry?"

  Tian Boguang's expression eased slightly, and he said: "Ling brothers, although Tian certain to you a see like old times, want with you make a friend, but I ugly words first put in front, this little nun I am must get, if you also like Linghu brother that, think take her away, then Tian certain knife is not recognize friends."

  Tian Boguang's words were somewhat sarcastic and ironic, Ling Jing could only bitterly smile in his heart. This damn system actually let him, a fifth-grade internal force junior, compete with Tian Boguang, a top-notch master at the third-grade peak, for people. This was simply ridiculous.

  His face showed no emotion, his smile unchanged, and he said: "Brother Tian, where did you get this from? I don't know this young master at all, why should I stop you? It's just that I've always admired your martial arts skills, and I'm willing to ask you for a few moves. Please don't hesitate to teach me."

  Tian Boguang suddenly burst out laughing and said, "Ling brother, I think you're probably even younger than your senior brother Linghu. Not to mention that not even Brother Linghu is a match for me, let alone you."

  His words were reasonable, Ling Jing looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if he had started practicing from birth, his internal energy wouldn't necessarily be as deep as Linghu Chong's. It takes time to accumulate and thicken one's internal energy through daily practice over decades. Only then can one reach the level of a top-notch master. But it was impossible for this young man to have such profound abilities.

  Ling Jing smiled slightly and said, "My shallow kung fu skills are naturally no match for Brother Tian's, but my big brother once said something that makes sense - standing up to fight, I'm definitely not a match for Brother Tian, but sitting down to fight... that's a different story."

  Tian Boguang suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly, saying: "How interesting! I'm really curious now. Could it be that the Huashan School actually has a kung fu technique for fighting while seated? And yet both of you brothers want to engage in a seated duel with me?"

  Ling Jingdao said, "Brother Tian doesn't know this, but in the past when we brothers were practicing martial arts at the gate, after finishing our homework, we had nothing to do and came up with many clever ideas for entertainment."

  He saw that Tian Boguang had already shown a very interested expression, so he continued, "As for this sitting and hitting, it's actually from my own idea. Brother Tian should know that I was young, which of the masters in the school wasn't more powerful than me? But I'm also a competitive person, later I thought, standing and hitting I couldn't beat you guys, how about sitting and hitting?"

  Tian Boguang burst out laughing and said: "So that's how it is, I was wondering how Lenghu brother could have such a wonderful idea, it turns out it was actually written by Ling brothers, really..."

  He paused for a moment and continued: "It's really different from others, different from others." After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands and laughed.

  Ling Jing smiled slightly and continued, "However, Brother Tian may not know that sitting here and talking about it, although the Demon Cult Master Dongfang Unbeaten is undoubtedly the number one under heaven, but as for the second place in the world, my senior brother has boasted too much."

  Tian Boguang's curiosity was piqued, and he said, "Oh? Then who should be second?"

  Ling Jing coughed lightly and said, "I'm not talented, but if I had to say who's better at sitting and fighting, my senior brother is actually not as good as me. So being the second best in the world at sitting and fighting, I should just accept it with a smile."

  Tian Boguang suddenly burst out laughing and said: "Brother Ling really loves to joke, then tell me, in this seated fight, where can Tian certain rank?"

  He naturally didn't believe that this little brother could rank second in the world with his casual shots, but he wanted to see how far this little brother could rank him.

  Ling Jing's face wore a faint smile, but in his heart he was thinking that Tian Boguang's interest had been piqued by himself. He couldn't help but think that he should lower Tian Boguang's ranking first, which would be good to provoke him into a fight with himself.

  With his mind made up, he smiled and said: "If we're talking about standing and fighting, Brother Tian would rank 14th in the world, but if it's sitting down and fighting, he can only rank 36th."

  Tian Boguang felt quite pleased with himself when he heard the first half of Ling Jing's sentence, thinking that among the numerous powerful figures in the Jianghu, he was able to surpass many heroes and rank 14th. It seemed that this Ling brother still had a good eye for people. Suddenly, Tian Boguang felt a bit more affection towards this young brother.

  But then, when he heard that Ling Jing had ranked him 36th in the ranking of those who could conquer the world while sitting down, his face didn't look so good. He thought to himself, "You're just a young kid and you can already rank second in the list of those who can conquer the world while sitting down, but I, Tian Mou, have been roaming the jianghu for many years and yet I'm only ranked 36th by you, it's really infuriating."

  At this time, he coldly smiled and said: "Since Brother Ling acknowledges himself as the second in the world while sitting down, then I, who am ranked thirty-sixth in the world while sitting down, cannot help but ask Brother Ling to teach me a couple of moves."

  Ling Jing smiled secretly in his heart, but shook his head and said: "Not good, not good. Although I have the intention to ask Brother Tian for advice, I do not want to compete with Brother Tian in my own strongest area, isn't this taking advantage of a friend?"

  These words had actually been said by Linghu Chong before, and at that time they had a strange effect. Now being said by a younger junior of Mount Hua, they made Tian Boguang feel even more annoyed.

  Tian Boguang snorted coldly and insisted: "Brother Ling, are you looking down on me?"

  Ling Jing's heart was filled with joy, but her face showed some hesitation as she said, "Really want to compare?"

  Tian Boguang stared at him straight and said: "We must have a contest, and we must sit down for the contest."

  Tian Boguang's words were not small in fire, and Ling Jing heard them in his ears, but he was laughing in his heart. He thought that Tian Boguang was indeed as arrogant as the original plot, and couldn't bear to be provoked at all. He himself had only spoken a few words and had already made him so angry, it seemed that this matter could be done, this matter could be done.

  He had thought carefully before, and he knew that his own strength was far inferior to Tian Boguang's. However, this system task was a matter of life and death for him, and for the time being, he couldn't think of any effective way out, so he could only follow Linghu Chong's previous method, using cunning against cunning, provoking Tian Boguang to fight with him again.

  He was familiar with the plot and had carefully analyzed Tian Boguang's character. At first, he appeared to be a notorious flower thief, but he was also a man of his word and a good fellow with a strong sense of justice, although somewhat arrogant, which led him to be teased by Linghu Chong several times.

  Since he was familiar with Tian Boguang's temperament, Ling Jing would not directly go up and fight him to the death, which would be no different from seeking death. Therefore, he would rather waste his breath to provoke him into a duel.

  But now the most important thing is still to rescue Yilin, and he dare not forget this. At this time, he smiled and said: "Since Brother Tian insists on comparing, I will accompany him naturally. But if it's just a comparison of fighting skills, there's no fun in that, why don't we add some excitement to it?"
