"Am sorry for how Feng Dong beat up your boy Ling Huang Chou, he is having an issue in controling the output of his power" Feng Po suddenly spoke up from across the ground floor of the ancient pagoda with a mocking grin on his face.
When Ling Huang Chou who is the Grand elder of the Ling family heard him, his expression darkened further as an ominous aura slowly but surely began to emit out of his body.
But that aura didn’t stay for long as he immediately withdraw as he took in a deep breath trying to calm himself down before he replied.
"Oh you don’t have to apologize Feng Po, such things happen. Of cause you will also understand that such things happens when it happens to you right?"
When Feng Po heard him, he immediately got stunned before he burst out laughing. But he didn’t laugh for too long as he replied with an amused look on his face.
"Of cause!"
"The next representatives from both families should come on the platform" the last middle aged man in the triplets that is wearing pure white robes suddenly spoke up with a calm look on his face.
"Ling Jian, you go" Ling Huang Chou instantly said right after the middle aged man who is amongst the three surpivising the fight spoke up with a wicked grin on his face.
"Yes Grand elder" Ling Jian who has both been detached and silent throughout the journey from the Ling family residence till now suddenly replied in a deep tone as he began to walk towards the platform.
"This match is as good as settled" Ling Jun suddenly said with a confident look on his face which immediately made Hutton curious.
"And why did you say that? Is it because of Ling Jian?" Hutton immediately asked with the same curious look on his face.
"Precisely. It seems like I have forgotten to tell you who Ling Jian is" Ling Jun answered with an reassuring look on his face which inevitably made Hutton more curious.
"And who exactly is Ling Jian?" Hutton asked another as he began to grow impatient to hear the answer.
"Ling Jian which I am guessing you might have already figured out by now is the second son to the head of the Ling family which makes him my elder brother. But what you don’t know about him is that he is the second strongest person in the whole younger generation of the Ling family, he is at the utmost peak of the Grandmaster ranked fighters who is an internal force user" Ling Jun explained with a respectful look on his face before he suddenly paused.
"Is that all to him? If it is then I don’t think he has 100% chance of defeating his opponent" Hutton said with a skeptical look on his face as he gazed on Ling Jian’s opponent who is also walking towards the platform.
Ling Jian’s opponent who is coming towards the platform is a towering figure, built like a mountain, strides with purpose across the worn stone floor of the ancient pagoda. His muscular frame fills out a vibrant blue martial arts gi, its fabric stretched taut over his bulging muscles. Each step exudes strength and confidence, the floor creaking slightly under his weight. With focused determination, he moves towards the wide platform at the center of the pagoda’s ground floor, his presence commanding attention amidst the serene and timeless surroundings.
’This guy is as firm as Mount Thai’ Hutton thought with a grim look on his face. But Ling Jun face was still relaxed as he said.
"Am not done Hutton"
"There is more?" Hutton asked with an interested look on his face.
"Well I shouldn’t have told you this but, he is actually one of the two people that have mastered three forbidden arts" Ling Jun said in a whisper. When Hutton heard him, he immediately blanked out as he thought.
’Three?’
Back on the platform, Ling Jian and the burly young man who looks like a foreigner stood on it as they stared at each other with dead set eyes.
"Leave or else you will regret it" Ling Jian suddenly said with an indifferent voice. When the foreigner heard him, his expression became ice cold as he said deeply.
"The only person that will regret on this platform will be you after facing me"
"Begin!" The supervisor of the fight suddenly exclaimed as he backed away from the platform along with the other two middle aged men.
And so, On the wide platform of the ancient pagoda, the burly man in the vibrant blue outfit darts around Ling Jian with impressive agility, his movements swift and unpredictable. Ling Jian remains calm and focused, his eyes tracking his opponent’s every move with unwavering determination.
As the burly man lunges forward with a flurry of strikes, Ling Jian waits patiently, biding his time for the perfect opening. With a sudden shift in stance, he channels all his strength and skill into a single, devastating punch.The punch lands with pinpoint accuracy, striking the burly man square in the chest with incredible force. There’s a sharp crack as bones break upon impact, and the burly man staggers back, a look of shock and pain crossing his face.With a groan of agony, the burly man collapses to the ground, clutching his injured chest as he writhes in pain. Ling Jian stands over him, his expression impassive yet resolute, his single punch proving to be more than a match for the burly man’s agility and strength.
When the people from the Feng family saw this, their expressions quickly darkened as a murderous aura leaked out of all of them.
"That’s our Ling Jian!"
"You guys can never be a match for him!!"
As for the Ling family’s side, they were currently cheering with a delighted look on their faces.
"Winner of this round is Ling Jian from the Ling family. You both should leave the platform now" the supervisor suddenly spoke up in an indifferent manner.
"Next time you watch what you say" But right before Ling Jian left the platform, he said to the burly man who is still grimacing in pain on the platform with a look of disdain on his face before he began to leave the platform.
’He used a forbidden art’ Hutton thought with a serious look on his face while he stares at Ling Jian who is coming towards the Ling family area.
And of cause, Ling Jian felt Hutton’s gaze which made him to return the favor for only a second with a light smirk on his face before he looked away and went towards the place he was when he first got there.
"Wait... Am I see things or did Ling Jian just smirked at you?" Ling Jun suddenly asked with a shocked look on his face. But unfortunately for him, Hutton didn’t or rather couldn’t answer him as he was also surprised as he thought.
’Why did he smirked at me?’
"Feng Po, I hope you won’t take this loss to heart?" Suddenly, Ling Huang Chou spoke up with an apologetic look on his face. But when Feng Po saw him, his face immediately twisted into an ugly look as he replied coldly.
"You don’t have to worry about me Ling Huang Chou, instead worry about your juniors"
"Oh you don’t have to worry about that, I worry about them all the time" Ling Huang Chou replied with a light chuckle.
"The next representatives from the two families should come to the platform" Suddenly, the supervisor for the fight suddenly spoke up right after clearing the platform.
’Now who should I pick’ Ling Huang Chou thought In a good mood as he looked at Hutton and the others. When his eyes landed on Hutton, he suddenly paused there as he had a pondering look on his face.
’Is he considering on putting me next?’ Hutton thought as he got himself ready mentally. But in the end, The Grand elder of the Ling family shifted his gaze again and immediately spoke up.

The person Ling Huang Chou chose is a young man named Ling Po Jun, a young man of Chinese descent, possesses a quiet strength that belies his average height.

His demeanor is calm and composed, yet there’s a simmering intensity just beneath the surface, ready to strike at the most accurate moment.
"Yes Grand elder" Ling Po Jun replied in a respectful tone as he walked towards the platform slowly yet steadily.
’It seems like it is not my turn yet’ Hutton thought with a wry smile on his face. But Ling Jun expression wasn’t the same as he suddenly spoke up.
"Hutton, look who is Ling Po Jun opponent"
"Huh?" Hutton muttered with a confused look on his face towards what Ling Jun told him before he looked towards the Feng family area. And as soon as he did, his expression quickly darkened.
Apparently, Ling Po Jun’s opponent is an old man who is extremely famous in the world of martial arts. He goes by the name Leng Fo and he has been a lunatic of martial arts ever since when Hutton was still a soldier in his past life.
As the old martial artist steps forward, his presence commands attention. His weathered face tells tales of battles long fought and wisdom gained. Each step is deliberate, displaying a grace honed through years of discipline. Despite his age, there’s a vitality in his movements, a coiled energy waiting to be unleashed.

The fabric, though aged, carries an air of mystique, hinting at its origins from a distant time. Adorned with intricate embroideries depicting dragons and phoenixes, the attire speaks of ancient lineage and tradition.
His aura is unmistakable, a palpable force that seems to radiate from within him. It’s a blend of serenity and danger, like the calm surface of a deep ocean hiding unseen depths and currents. Those who meet his gaze feel a chill run down their spine, sensing the latent power that lies dormant until called upon.
Ascending the wide platform in the heart of the ancient pagoda, he moves with a sense of purpose, each step echoing in the hallowed halls. The air is heavy with anticipation as onlookers watch in awe, knowing they are witnessing a master at the peak of his craft. With a solemn nod to the ancestors depicted in the temple’s murals, he prepares to demonstrate the martial prowess that has made him a legend whispered in hushed tones throughout the land.
’This is extremely bad for Ling Po Jun’ Hutton thought with a worried look on his face as he stares at Ling Po Jun who is on the platform with the old man.
