Lin Tian, master of emotions?

"Lin Tian, isn't that the name of Earth's second Extreme Martial Artist?"

"No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity with this young man. So he's Lin Tian, Earth's second Extreme Martial Artist!"

The crowd exclaimed. Everyone who could come here was an influential figure in Dragon Country and had naturally seen the video of Lin Tian encountering the Magician from the Tarot Society.

When Lin Tian first appeared and argued with Young Master Liu, they already felt a sense of familiarity. It wasn't until Jiang Cheng called out Lin Tian's name that they understood the source of this feeling.

"You know each other?"

Nangong Sheng was somewhat surprised.

"I went to Qing City First High School a few days before my college entrance exams," Lin Tian explained. He didn't seem to care that his identity as an Extreme Martial Artist had been exposed and walked forward to greet Jiang Cheng and Jiang Mingyue.

"It's been a long time," Jiang Mingyue said with a smile, her posture elegant, displaying the manners of a well-bred young lady to perfection.

"When did you become so demure?" Lin Tian asked, somewhat surprised by Jiang Mingyue's demeanor.

He remembered that before he joined Qing City First High School's Experimental Class, Jiang Mingyue was the undisputed leader of the class. Everyone feared her and dared not challenge her position as the top student.

One could imagine the violent methods Jiang Mingyue must have used to subdue everyone in the Experimental Class. He had witnessed her temper during his few days in the class.

Seeing the suddenly quiet Jiang Mingyue, Lin Tian found it very strange.

"In a setting like this, you'd best say less, or you'll drive people to death!" Jiang Mingyue's words were almost gritted out through her teeth.

Afterward, she, along with Jiang Cheng and her uncle who was walking behind them, went to Yuanming Martial Saint's side.

"Greetings, Yuanming Martial Saint!"

The moment these words were spoken, the exhibition hall fell silent.

Everyone looked at the three members of the Jiang family bowing to Yuanming Martial Saint with shocked expressions. They couldn't believe that at the annual Magic City Auction, and in the exhibition hall before the auction began, a Martial Saint would be present.

"Yuanming, a Martial Saint!" Some of the elders in the crowd were extremely shocked upon hearing the name. They had already figured out who Yuanming Martial Saint was. They then stood at a distance and respectfully bowed to Yuanming Martial Saint.

"We pay our respects to Yuanming Martial Saint."

Seeing that everyone else had started bowing, the others in the exhibition hall dared not delay and also paid their respects.

For a moment, the entire exhibition hall echoed with the sound of people paying homage to Yuanming Martial Saint.

"There's no need for such formality, everyone. I am here merely to accompany Lin Tian around," Yuanming Martial Saint's gentle voice resonated through the hall, a soft power gently lifting those who were bowing.

They were shocked. This was the power of a Martial Saint. But what shocked them even more was the phrase "accompany Lin Tian around." This was a Martial Saint, one of the top powerhouses in Dragon Country, and his purpose for coming here was to accompany a student who had just finished his college entrance exams. They had underestimated the importance of Extreme Martial Artists; even a Martial Saint was accompanying Lin Tian. While it was politely put as "accompanying," everyone knew that Yuanming Martial Saint, a Martial Saint, was essentially Lin Tian's bodyguard. The idea of a Martial Saint acting as a bodyguard was something they couldn't even dare to imagine.

"Lin Tian, this is our second uncle," Jiang Cheng then said.

"My name is Jiang Yu, their second uncle. I've been with the Qing Province Garrison Army and this is my first time in Magic City," Jiang Yu stated with a serious expression. This was his first time interacting with people from other noble families, and in such a setting.

"Brother Jiang Yu, I am Nangong Sheng, and this is my younger sister, Nangong Ya," Nangong Sheng said with a smile.

"Greetings to you both."

"Lin Tian is an Extreme Martial Artist, and he has a Martial Saint accompanying him. Isn't that kid from the Liu family finished?" someone in the crowd suddenly said. Although the voice was very quiet, there were too many powerful individuals in the exhibition hall, and many people heard the remark. Their gazes all turned towards Young Master Liu, their eyes filled with disdain.

"Being used as a pawn is one thing, but angering Lin Tian is another. The Liu family will probably be implicated because of this."

"And those few instigators won't have an easy time either."

Hearing these words, the young men trembled uncontrollably.

They had only wanted to embarrass Lin Tian, never expecting to cause such huge trouble for themselves.

The second Extreme Martial Artist on Earth, accompanied by a Martial Saint.

Such treatment was enough to show how much Dragon Country valued Lin Tian.

"What's going on?" Jiang Cheng asked, hearing the voices around him.

"It's nothing. It's better if you don't know."

"Why not? Why can't I know?" Hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately protested.

"If you want to be called trash, I can tell you," Lin Tian said calmly.

The word "trash" caused all the young men and women in the exhibition hall to stiffen, feeling offended. Even Nangong Qingwan, standing beside them, looked disappointed.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng wisely shut his mouth.

It seemed something had happened here before they arrived.

"By the way, how much Blood Essence do you have now?" Jiang Mingyue seized the opportunity to quickly change the subject. What had just happened in the exhibition hall seemed a bit unpleasant.

"Not much, only seven hundred. It's improving too slowly," Lin Tian said with a disappointed expression.

"Seven hundred!" Hearing this number, Jiang Mingyue could no longer maintain her ladylike demeanor.

"It's only been a little over half a month since the college entrance exams ended, not to mention you were in the Medical Pod for a few days. Your Blood Essence is already seven hundred!"

"Are you a monster? What kind of cultivation speed is this!" Jiang Mingyue calculated carefully. Lin Tian was cultivating at a speed of twenty Blood Essence points per day.

"Oh, it's really not fast. After all, I spent most of my time practicing Martial Skills," Lin Tian said somewhat sheepishly.

Seeing his expression, those who knew him well understood that Lin Tian was showing off again. The most deadly form of showing off is the subtle kind, yet they could do nothing about it.

"You, you!" Jiang Mingyue was so angry she couldn't speak. She had forgotten that Lin Tian loved to act this way.

"I shouldn't have asked that question." After a brief moment of playful banter, Lin Tian continued to search for resources that could enhance mental power among the many treasures.

"My Nangong family has Essence Augmentation Pills, refined from Essence Augmentation Flowers and other medicinal ingredients. They are more effective than Essence Augmentation Flowers and can stably enhance mental power," Nangong Sheng said, but Lin Tian refused.

"I'll keep looking for treasures similar to Essence Augmentation Flowers. Enhancing mental power based on talent is perfect for me." Seeing Lin Tian's smug look, Nangong Sheng regretted speaking up.

After searching for a long time, Lin Tian selected two treasures that could enhance mental power. Just as he was about to pay, a commotion erupted.

"The Qi family! It's the Qi family. Now both of Magic City's top aristocratic families are here."

The Qi family! Hearing the name, Lin Tian had a bad premonition. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard Qi Cheng call his name.

"Lin Tian, Master, wait for me."

"Lin Tian, Master?" Hearing this title, everyone was a bit confused.

"Xiao Cheng, why are you calling a young man your age 'Master'?" Qi Xing, standing beside Qi Cheng, asked curiously.

Qi Cheng replied excitedly, "Dad, Lin Tian is a Master of Emotions! He taught me how to pursue my goddess!"
