The members of the Huaxia delegation were all disciples of ancient aristocratic families, arrogant and haughty.
They were very unconvinced and had many reservations about Ling Tian's presence in their team.
Some even believed that Ling Tian had entered through connections, merely to add prestige to his resume.
Especially since Ling Tian had gained the favor of Zhang Caifeng, he had become the target of public criticism and an enemy of all the young people.
However, in just over 10 minutes, Ling Tian's performance had shocked these young people.
The American, Leo, possessed a very peculiar stealth skill that none of them had detected, but it did not escape Ling Tian's discerning eyes.
Ling Tian's direct confrontation with Prometheus, which left the latter utterly humiliated, also astonished everyone.
While some of them believed they could also defeat Prometheus, Ling Tian had defeated him using his opponent's own strengths!
Such a display was simply brilliant! How could such a Ling Tian not earn their admiration?
"Everyone, hurry up and move, seize the time, and don't invite any more trouble!" Director Su Dacheng reminded them, and the group continued to advance.
At this moment, Director Su beckoned Ling Tian over.
Ling Tian then approached Xuanyuan Jie and Zhuge Tianji.
"Leaders, I am very sorry for causing you trouble.
I really couldn't hold back just now, that person who could turn invisible was too much..."
Ling Tian proactively adopted a humble stance, a classic tactic of advancing by retreating. Even if these two were displeased with his actions, they would find it difficult to criticize him too harshly given his humble attitude.
"Do you hear what people say!" Zhuge Tianji suddenly spoke, leaving Ling Tian bewildered.
Xuanyuan Jie stepped forward and patted Ling Tian on the shoulder.
"You rascal, why are you apologizing for nothing? What you did just now was excellent, there was nothing wrong with it!
When paths cross, the brave prevail. Facing the enemy means daring to draw your sword and fight them!
If you hadn't insisted on confronting that Prometheus just now, we would likely have been looked down upon by those Americans, and they might have found other excuses to provoke us!
Your actions completely stunned the Americans, and they won't dare to make a move against us for a while."
Hearing Xuanyuan Jie's words, Ling Tian finally felt relieved.
"Regarding the behavior of those people just now, even if you had killed that invisible person, it would have been fine," Xuanyuan Jie continued to reassure Ling Tian.
"I actually wanted to do that, but I considered that we were in Australia and didn't want to cause trouble for everyone.
Rest assured, if such a situation arises again on Hell Paradise Island, I will definitely send them to meet their maker!" Ling Tian vowed, patting his chest.
At this point, Zhuge Tianji spoke, "Regarding the battle just now, there are a few questions I need to ask you, and I hope you can answer them truthfully. This is very important for us to understand our opponents."
"Please ask any questions you have, I will tell you everything I know!"
"Good, the first question is, how did you see through that invisible person?"
"It was Wang Qishu (Qi Observation Technique). I used Wang Qishu to find him.
Many sects in the Daoist tradition practice it, and many prominent families should also have similar methods like Wang Qishu," Ling Tian explained.
"That kid's invisibility skill is very powerful; it not only blocks light but also conceals sound and scent.
However, as long as he is a living being, he will produce Qi.
I used Wang Qishu to see the energy emanating from that kid, and that's how I located him."
"So that's how it is, it was that simple!" Xuanyuan Jie exclaimed.
"But why did you choose to use Wang Qishu and look in that direction? You know that Wang Qishu consumes a significant amount of energy."
Zhuge Tianji, being a man of the Daoist tradition, was very knowledgeable about such techniques, and moreover, he was a strategist who thought very comprehensively.
His question hit the nail on the head, and Ling Tian felt a bit helpless; it was difficult to fool someone who understood.
It wasn't that Ling Tian deliberately concealed anything, but rather that he had mastered the Heavenly Eye Divine Ability, which was an advanced version of Wang Qishu.
Besides being more powerful in its functions and effects, the biggest difference between Heavenly Eye Divine Ability and Wang Qishu was that Wang Qishu, an active skill, was transformed into a passive skill like Heavenly Eye Divine Ability.
This was equivalent to Ling Tian having a strengthened version of Wang Qishu activated every time he opened his eyes.
Although Ling Tian wanted to awe these people with his strength, he did not wish to reveal his true capabilities.
"It's like this, elder, I just had a feeling at the time that something was watching us.
So I used Wang Qishu to confirm if there was any threat..."
Ling Tian's excuse was very plausible. When one's strength reaches a certain level, intuition becomes very sharp, especially intuition regarding danger.
Furthermore, when Ling Tian spoke, there were no emotional fluctuations, and even astute individuals like Zhuge Tianji and Su Dacheng did not realize that Ling Tian was actually lying.
In essence, Ling Tian's maturity and demeanor were inseparable from the teachings of his masters.
His fifth master, Gu Tianxi, was a successful businessman who, from a young age, trained Ling Tian in the art of speaking appropriately to anyone.
His fourth master, the King of Assassins Xiang Wentian, and his sixth master, Yan Yu, were both masters of emotional control.
Moreover, Ling Tian's grandmaster, the Daoist Immortal Master Daoyuan, was a master of cultivating Qi; controlling emotions, and even the beating of his pulse, were not difficult for him. Zhuge Tianji and Su Dacheng, these two old foxes, failed to see through Ling Tian's trick.
"So that's how it is. We'll have a meeting tonight, and Ling Tian, you can share this experience with everyone."
"Alright!" Ling Tian readily agreed.
"Let's talk about that American, Prometheus. What do you think of his strength?" Xuanyuan Jie asked.
"This person is very strong. Although I defeated him, I could feel that he wasn't using his full strength and likely had many trump cards.
Underestimating such an opponent is very dangerous!" Ling Tian was not complacent about his victory but calmly analyzed the situation.
Ling Tian did not want his victory to give others the false impression that the Americans were easy to deal with.
Xuanyuan Jie and the others were very satisfied with Ling Tian's answer. It was truly remarkable for a young man of his age to possess such strength yet remain unpretentious, humble, and calm.
"Then, can you tell us how you countered that guy's abilities? Can this method be popularized?
You know, this matter is very important to us," Xuanyuan Jie said seriously.
