Chapter 406: Chapter 405: Incomplete Cultivation Technique

"Back then, Ghost participated in the competition under the guise of a foreign mercenary, Brother Lin, don’t you think it’s a bit cruel?" Ning Weiguo looked at Lin Tian and said with a faint smile.

He wanted to see Lin Tian’s reaction, but he was surprised because Lin Tian seemed completely unfazed by the real combat nature of the competition; his expression was even more indifferent than his.

For a moment, Ning Weiguo had the illusion that this youngster, seemingly more detached than himself who had been to war, had a colder disposition in his bones.

Lin Tian shook his head and said indifferently, "Cruelty depends on perspective. From the enemy’s standpoint, being shot is a cruel reality, but from our standpoint, shooting them is to protect more people. After all, these people being judged by international law would not be enough to redeem them even if they died ten times over."

"Not everyone can overcome this psychological hurdle. With your understanding, it’s really a waste not to become a counselor," Ning Weiguo laughed.

"I’ve also been told that it’s a waste not to go into business," Lin Tian replied in the same tone.

Xiao Manxue glanced at Lin Tian; those were her words, and this jerk still remembered them till now.

"But I have one question..." Lin Tian looked at Ghost and Thunder Wolf, then said to Ning Weiguo, "My friend here has some foundation in Ancient Martial arts. I’m curious, what is Thunder Wolf, a mere common man, doing compared to Ghost?"

Although the question was quite blunt, what Lin Tian said was true; Ancient Martial Artists have much higher sensory and reaction abilities, and with such advantages, they are naturally more suited to the role of a sniper.

"Heh, don’t underestimate Thunder Wolf. In a way, he can be considered a half Ancient Martial Artist," Ning Weiguo remarked.

What does a half Ancient Martial Artist even mean? This was the first time Lin Tian had heard such a bizarre term, and he shook his head indicating his confusion.

Ning Luoxi came back and explained without any expression, "Thunder Wolf practices an odd Ancient Martial Cultivation Technique. He calls this technique Spirit Turtle Breath Skill, but it’s an incomplete version, not fully developed, given to him by his father who also doesn’t know its origin. After practicing, he managed to reach the Postnatal Early Stage, but he has been stuck at that phase without any further advancement."

That’s quite tragic, Lin Tian felt sympathetic, but Thunder Wolf was also quite lucky. Teaching himself an incomplete Cultivation Technique without going berserk was due to his ignorance being bliss; had he known, he probably wouldn’t have dared to learn it at all.

Ghost’s expression didn’t change much; it seemed he already knew about this.

Lin Tian remembered that these two guys suddenly came back, could there be something up?

"Ghost, you guys came back from outside, is there something going on?" Lin Tian asked.

"My former teammates have arrived in Xikou City, they say... they want to meet you." Ghost originally wanted to say challenge you, but thinking it sounded too frivolous, he changed his wording at the last moment.

Although he put it diplomatically, Lin Tian still caught on; Ghost’s teammates, the ones he had mentioned before, came to Xikou City, and this ’meeting’ implied they wanted a competition.

But their timing, neither earlier nor later, right when there were guests, and with guests, there was a protocol about who arrived first. Lin Tian certainly couldn’t just leave Ning Weiguo and his daughter to meet them alone, could he?

"What’s going on here?" Ning Weiguo, hearing Lin Tian’s dialogue, curiously asked.

"Well, it’s like this..." Lin Tian thought for a moment, then decided to just tell the truth. He explained that he ran a bodyguard company and Ghost’s teammates wanted to join the company to Ning Weiguo, who, with his capabilities, could easily find out such a minor matter.

"Oh, Ghost’s former teammates? I’d like to go see them; where are they now? I’ll come with you," Ning Weiguo expressed keen interest, ready to go meet them immediately.

"Look, Uncle Ning, you’re so eager, I’m afraid you might be planning to poach someone from my company," Lin Tian observed his heartily eager expression and could easily guess Ning Weiguo’s thoughts.

"I’ll just look and not talk, Brother Lin, you can be at ease," Ning Weiguo patted Lin Tian’s shoulder, lying without even a twitch in his brows; truly, his thick skin matched his seasoned face.

"Report!" Thunder Wolf shouted loudly, "We want to go too."

"Go on, go on, you little rascal, if I don’t let you go, you’d complain about me even in your dreams tonight. Don’t I know you yet? You’re just itching for a chance to compete," Ning Weiguo glared at Thunder Wolf and scolded.

However, Ning Luoxi suddenly said, "Lin Tian and Xuanxuan have classes in the afternoon; they might not have enough time."

"Classes? Their studies are so good, missing half a day won’t matter," Ning Weiguo said generously.

Lin Tian felt embarrassed. Where was it okay to teach students like that? But he really didn’t care; half a day wouldn’t make a difference to him.

"Their class teacher is Teacher Fang Ming," Ning Luoxi glanced at her own dad and said flatly.

Ning Weiguo was startled, his face shifting from generosity back to seriousness, and said, "Is that so? Then we must hurry back in the afternoon."

Lin Tian really wanted to despise him; how quickly he changed his stance! But he decided not to discourage him, considering the couple hadn’t seen each other for years.

He turned his head and asked Ghost directly, "Where are they now?"

"At the company’s new base," Ghost replied.

Immediately, Lin Tian gave a few instructions to Lu Jia and walked out of the bar with a group of people.

Lu Jia had been quiet all along, staring dreamily at Lin Tian’s back until a duty waitress called her back to reality.

"The boss is so cool, knowing all these impressive people," the female waitress said with stars in her eyes, amazed.

"Yes, they are so far removed from us, the Xiao Family, mysterious guests, the boss’ friends are all these big shots," Lu Jia sighed and felt a faint sense of loss. It was a longing for a figure she could never truly reach.

She suddenly understood Su Qingqing’s resignation, admiring her courage to chase after what she wanted, although it was a distant dream, just silently watching was also good.

Lin Tian walked out of the bar and noticed several cars parked outside, with bulky, heavy-armored bombproof vehicles labeled "Special Police," and the fierce, wild-looking Warrior off-road vehicles, which were drool-worthy. These were a boy’s favorite.

Compared to those soft, floppy sedans, these wildly designed vehicles were a man’s dream, calling to the most primal wildness.

"Brother Lin Tian, this bulletproof vehicle of yours is awesome; its defense level even reaches that of an armored bombproof vehicle!" Thunder Wolf touched the black body of the bulletproof vehicle, remarking.

After speaking, he even tried to pull open the door and sit inside, acting very familiar.

But Ning Weiguo shouted, "Thunder Wolf, get back to your armored vehicle, stop causing trouble!"

Thunder Wolf didn’t dare defy the order and obediently ran to the armored vehicle. It was good that they had all put on full-coverage head masks when they came out, otherwise, they’d be photographed by passersby.

Although it was noon and the sun was strong, there were still occasionally passersby who would take out their phones and endlessly snap pictures of these rare "birds of prey."

"Um, Miss Xiao, you and Xixi take that off-road vehicle, I need to talk privately with Brother Lin," Ning Weiguo said somewhat sheepishly.
