Chapter 15: The Destined Protagonist: For Some Reason, I Just Can’t Stand Lin Ao Tian!

Between heaven and earth,

The previous disputes fell silent with the sudden appearance of Lin Ao Tian in his white robe.

“Whoa…!”

From within the ring’s space came the sound of the elder gasping in shock.

“Ling Feng, don’t be impulsive. This boy isn’t simple; he’s even mastered the legendary Walking Secret, and his cultivation level… isn’t something you can contend with right now!” The elder said gravely, “Even then, with your Primeval Sacred Body, you’re no match for him!”

He had once come across descriptions of the Nine Secrets in the sect’s ancient texts and instantly recognized the pattern under Lin Ao Tian’s feet.

He wanted to tell the truth but feared it would dispirit Ling Feng too much.

If a fight truly broke out,

Ling Feng would be instantly defeated!

Though Ling Feng was angry, he wasn’t foolish and could sense the oppressive aura from the white-robed youth.

This was the most formidable peer he had ever faced!

“Master, what are the Nine Secrets?”

“The Nine Secrets…”

The elder’s face showed envy.

“The Nine Secrets are the most powerful and mysterious techniques on the Tianxuan Continent. It’s said that those who acquire the Nine Secrets are invincible.”

“Many think it’s exaggerated – it’s just a technique, right? But only those who reach my level understand just how powerful the Nine Secrets are!”

“They involve the power of different laws!”

“Legends say the Nine Secrets were created by nine ancient Celestial Venerables, representing the pinnacle of human cultivation on various paths. And what Lin Ao Tian uses is the Walking Secret created by the Free and Easy Celestial Venerable!”

“Otherwise, how did he appear out of thin air?”

“That’s because he can traverse space freely using the Walking Secret. One step could take him across the world!”

“But! From what I see, he’s only grasped the basics. If he had full mastery, no one in heaven or earth could catch him. That’s truly terrifying!”

The elder was confident that Lin Ao Tian hadn’t fully mastered the Walking Secret.

After all!

How could one comprehend such law power so easily?

Even if Lin Ao Tian had been cultivating since birth, it wouldn’t be possible!

Of course, he didn’t know that Lin Ao Tian not only knew the Walking Secret but had also mastered other Nine Secrets, otherwise, he’d consider changing disciples.

This is outrageous!

Hearing his master’s explanation, Ling Feng’s eyes grew more solemn, but his heart burned with battle intent.

This pleased the elder greatly.

At this moment.

In the void, an unseen figure also wore a faint smile, clearly satisfied with Ling Feng’s lack of fear.

Lin Ao Tian looked at Ling Feng below and noticed him staring back.

Those eyes burned with battle spirit.

Uh…

Lin Ao Tian was taken aback.

This punk is the fated protagonist in my novel?

Why does he seem like a bit of a dummy?

Ready to fight anyone he sees?

But!

With this level of strength, he dares to reveal his physique?

Trying to shorten his life?

However, Lin Ao Tian thought better of it.

Makes sense.

I wrote this!

The fated protagonist, protected by great fortune, can’t die.

Besides, there’s a terrifyingly powerful woman watching over him. With her protection, even a hundred Ji Daotians wouldn’t be enough for her to crush with one hand!

Sigh~

Troublesome indeed!

…

Meanwhile, watching Lin Ao Tian and Ling Feng face off, everyone else breathed heavily.

Because just moments ago, Ling Feng had challenged Lin Ao Tian.

And declared he’d prove himself to Ji Yue’er.

However, Lin Ao Tian’s next words shocked everyone.

“Throughout history, there have been rules for martial contests. Unless someone is challenged, outsiders shouldn’t interfere.”

Lin Ao Tian said, his tone containing a hint of reprimand as he looked towards Ji Yue’er, “Ziyue, why aren’t you following the rules?” (Tln : ziyue is Ji Yue nickname)

“Moreover, you’re already at the marquis realm, it’s inappropriate for you to attack someone at the spirit transformation level. That’s bullying, inappropriate!”

Then he gently smiled, his eyes clear, “Also, don’t look down on anyone weaker than you.”

“The future is uncertain, full of variables. What you see may not always come true, changes can happen.”

“Besides, this fine fellow here, with his prominent features and extraordinary talent, and the Primeval Sacred Body, his future path can’t be underestimated. How could you say he’s unworthy to contend with me?”

Immediately, Lin Ao Tian’s gaze sharpened as he softly spoke to the surrounding void, “Elders of the Ji family, stand down. A prestigious family doesn’t need to bully the weak!”

“Uh… (⊙o⊙)…”

The hidden Ji family divine fires and saint realm experts were stunned, including the Ji family patriarch, Ji Tianming.

They all looked at each other.

They didn’t expect Lin Ao Tian would notice their presence.

“Stand down…”

Ji Daotian’s voice echoed in their ears.

“Yes!”

Then, Ji Daotian looked at the white-robed youth with curiosity.

What kind of trick is this kid playing?

If Lin Ao Tian was a upright person, always ready to help, it would be hard to believe even if Ji Daotian were killed.

Could a kind person destroy a sect and hunt someone a thousand miles?

This information just reached him, causing some dissatisfaction, questioning Lin Ao Tian’s character.

But!

Upon rethinking, he let it go.

Youth being arrogant is normal.

Especially someone like Lin Ao Tian who’s almost invincible among his peers.

If those ants died, they died!

…

“Damn!”

“A major reversal, this Lin family’s emperor son seems different from the rumors.”

“Exactly! Rumor had it that Lin Ao Tian was brutal and violent. But it turns out he’s so righteous and so handsome, I’m in love!”

…

The Ji family disciples looked on with admiration.

Even the geniuses from the northern region who came with Ling Feng couldn’t help but respect him.

Normally, with Ling Feng’s rudeness,

Not getting beaten up would be good enough.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ao Tian didn’t strike but instead spoke such profound words.

One must know.

How many are willing to reason in this world?

Especially those prodigies with exceptional talents.

“Brother Ao Tian… I…”

Ji Yue’er blushed, feeling like she had done something terribly wrong.

So… Brother Ao Tian is such a good person.

“Shut up!”

“I don’t need your hypocritical help!”

Ling Feng’s voice was hoarse, with red-rimmed eyes.

Seeing Ji Yue’er who was cold to him but now acting docile like a puppy in front of Lin Ao Tian.

His heartthrobbed painfully.

Especially because it was Lin Ao Tian.

For some reason, he disliked Lin Ao Tian from the first sight.

Even felt hatred towards him!

Like an innate enemy.

Though Lin Ao Tian just spoke on his behalf, it only made him angrier.

He couldn’t explain this feeling.

It’s… it’s like Lin Ao Tian was going to take everything away from him.

…
