The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 974: Chapter 968: Who Is Clueless?

“Brother Lin Tian, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault for greeting you earlier, bringing so much trouble!”

Zhu Yuqi’s face was full of grievance and helplessness as she once again apologized to Lin Tian.

She felt that Lin Tian had been insulted by Yu Guangrui several times all because of her involvement.

Thus, she secretly felt guilty.

Ai Liu, being classmates with Yu Guangrui and others, also felt quite awkward, and apologized to Lin Tian.

“It’s okay, it has nothing to do with you!”

Lin Tian laughed freely, shaking his head as he replied, “Besides, I don’t care about these things at all, nor are they worth my attention! Why get angry over mere clowns?”

However, Zhu Yuqi and Ai Liu couldn’t understand.

The more Lin Tian acted this way, the more guilty they felt, and for a moment, they didn’t know what to say.

It was Zhou Xiaomeng at the side who didn’t act rashly this time.

She whispered, “After the competition, I’ll find a chance to teach that guy a lesson!”

Zhou Xiaomeng’s voice was carefully lowered, so Zhu Yuqi and Ai Liu didn’t hear it.

“Do what you think is best, just don’t cause any trouble!”

Lin Tian replied with a light laugh.

At the same time,

his gaze was directed towards the direction where Yu Guangrui and others were heading.

It was towards a spot in the stands with a good view, where many dignified elders sat, each exuding a profound and solid aura.

On the stands, many people looked at these elders with eyes filled with awe and admiration,

and among them, Lin Tian recognized a few.

Apart from the National Martial Arts Master Wu Jin Nie, whom he had met earlier at Qingzhou Mountain, there was also Li Huaisan, the head of the West Lake Martial Arts Hall, the old family head of the Gao family, Gao Jin Yuan, and Yang Ji also attended.

As for the other National Martial Arts Masters, Lin Tian hadn’t seen them before.

But the surrounding people in the stands were all discussing.

“Master Yang Ji is here, one of the elder National Martial Arts Masters of Huaxia and known as one of the three great National Martial Arts Masters of Huaxia, with great prestige!”

“That’s Li Huaisan of the East Sea, famous throughout the entire East Continent…”

“Gao Jin Yuan, the old family head of the traditional Gao family, who rarely appears, and the Gao family usually remains in a semi-hidden state. Unexpectedly, Senior Gao is here this time…”

“Wu Jin Nie, said to be the top expert in Yanzhou City…”

“Hey, why are you all focusing on the seniors? This competition is about choosing disciples and selecting outstanding talents for the present seniors. They are the main attraction…”

“What do you know! Before the competition, these grandmasters will showcase their skills, and that’s the most exciting part!”

…

Conversations filled with whispers rose and fell continuously.

Lin Tian withdrew his gaze and looked at the opposite stands not far away, where many young boys and girls were, all national martial arts prodigies, mostly here to participate in the martial arts competition.

Among them, Lin Tian unexpectedly saw Fu Xiaoguai.

“She is participating too?”

Fu Xiaoguai was a junior from Shu Yi’s alma mater. He had met her during the national martial arts exchange at Leifeng Island, West Lake, and had a relatively deep impression.

Besides these people, Lin Tian also noticed a few men dressed in ancient-style clothing standing not far away.

They exuded a terrifying cultivation.

At the very least, they seemed far more powerful compared to the National Martial Arts Masters like Yang Ji.

These people were Ancient Martial Cultivators with late-stage Earth-level cultivation.

“People from Ancient Martial Sects? I guess they’re here to see if there’s any talent worth taking from the national martial arts competition!”

Lin Tian muttered to himself, retracting his gaze and maintaining a calm demeanor.

He didn’t have high expectations for this national martial arts competition, as such a level of competition didn’t interest him at all.

Soon after,

an elderly man wearing a white martial arts uniform walked up from below, leaping onto the Step Lotus competition platform.

“Haha… everyone, it’s the East Continent’s five-year national martial arts competition again! This time, many old friends came, who should know this old man!”

The elderly man in the white martial arts uniform clasped his hands behind his back and surveyed everyone present, laughing loudly: “But now there are also many new friends, especially those juniors participating in this competition, who probably don’t know me. Let me introduce myself, I’m Zeng Yunhe, former Manor Master of Tianxiang Villa! Haha… I’m now leisurely at home with nothing to do… so I came to host this competition, just to stretch these old bones!”

Zeng Yunhe’s words made many people below burst into laughter.

“Haha, Old Man Zeng, stop stalling and just start already!”

Below, Wu Jin Nie said with a smile to Zeng Yunhe.

Zeng Yunhe, the old Manor Master of Tianxiang Villa, was the one overseeing this national martial arts competition.

Of course, the most important was the support of Sword Saint Mountain behind them!

Even without Sword Saint Mountain, Zeng Yunhe was still a National Martial Arts Master, bringing enough influence to host this competition!

“Wu Jin Nie, you’re still just as impatient!”

Zeng Yunhe shook his head with a wry smile and then looked at Yang Ji and the others, saying, “Brother Yang, Mr. Lee… before the youngsters’ competition, why don’t we have a friendly match to set an example for the juniors? Consider it a demonstration…”

As soon as he said this, many people present burst into motion, eyes lighting up with anticipation.

A duel between National Martial Arts Masters was a rare sight.

“Haha, that’s a great suggestion, I’ll go first!”

Wu Jin Nie laughed heartily and leaped onto the platform in the blink of an eye.

Wu Naiqing, sitting nearby, couldn’t help but clap enthusiastically and cheer upon seeing his grandfather’s stance.

“This time, we can witness Senior Wu’s skills!”

Not far away, Yu Guangrui sighed in admiration.

“Haha… can’t you old man hold back?”

Zeng Yunhe jokingly scolded Wu Jin Nie, then looked below and said, “Who wants to spar with Old Man Wu first?”

“Wait a minute!”

But at this moment, Wu Jin Nie interrupted Zeng Yunhe’s words. Under the latter’s puzzled gaze, he looked around and then said: “Before the sparring begins, I have a few words to say. Previously, I battled fierce beasts at Qingzhou Mountain. Although my skills are average, I managed well enough. Yet, in the end, I was belittled by an ignorant young lad! I personally don’t mind, but I feel a bit upset. Our Huaxia Martial Arts are arts of warfare, undeniably powerful. But some juniors these days don’t know their place… I won’t mention this person’s name. My point is simply to remind the young people present here that one should be humble and modest…”

What!

These words caused an uproar among everyone below.

“Senior Wu didn’t want to name names, giving that person face! But insulting the grandmaster seniors can’t be tolerated!”

At this time, Yu Guangrui stood up suddenly and spoke out loud, directly turning around, pointing at Lin Tian, and shouting: “The one who insulted Senior Wu with words is him… a senseless waste!”

In an instant, everyone’s eyes turned toward Lin Tian.

At this moment, some were angry, and others were shocked and fearful!

“Yu Guangrui, I spared you before because you’re not even worth a grasshopper!”

Lin Tian raised his head to look at Yu Guangrui, his face filled with coldness as he shook his head, saying, “Unfortunately, you don’t understand that it’s you who truly don’t know your place!”
