Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1407 - 1404: Give It a Try

The little loli couldn’t bear to scold and it wasn’t quite appropriate to scold, but Zhu Yingying had no qualms about reprimanding these troublemaking brats. She glared and lectured, "Do you think the training wasn’t enough? I’ll double it for you next time!"

"Big brother, sister-in-law, let Lin Tian try, it’s fine." Wang Wanxi came out to mediate, smiling slightly.

That confident demeanor surprised Zhu Yingying and Wang Mingyan a little. Was it possible that this young man, not yet twenty, was already a Postnatal Early Stage Ancient Martial Artist?

A genius could train to Postnatal Perfection by twenty, or even enter the Innate Realm before thirty, like Xiao Manxue or Tang Ziqing.

However, most cultivators are not geniuses; they might only reach the threshold of Postnatal Early Stage in their twenties, and even some middle-aged people in their forties are still at the Postnatal Early Stage.

Crossing this threshold before twenty isn’t extraordinary, but it’s quite a good talent, which is why Wang Mingyan and his wife were a bit surprised.

The two looked at Lin Tian, seeking his opinion. Lin Tian nonchalantly nodded. He was actually just interested in the bronze door, not the door-pushing test. He could break it open, let alone push it.

Seeing Lin Tian agree to the test, the surrounding Wang family youth immediately became excited. Every time someone new tested the door, they were overjoyed, as it meant a new Postnatal Early Stage Ancient Martial Artist might be born.

"You brats, all fall back." Wang Mingyan shouted loudly, making way for Lin Tian.

The young ones laughed and retreated. At this moment, footsteps sounded from within the manor, and another group of people appeared. This was another band of young people, mostly in their twenties, some a bit older, around thirty.

About a dozen people, both men and women, all wearing short-sleeved outfits, faces still sweating as if they’d just undergone intense training. An old man followed behind them, cursing, "Brats, not eager in training, but eager to watch the fun!"

The old man wore a black tunic, thousand-layer shoes on his feet, his hair already gray, but his smooth yet steady pace hinted at a certain elegance.

Lin Tian’s eyes shone as he watched; this elder’s skills were not shallow, incorporating qinggong even in his normal walking.

Very quickly, this group of youths ran to the door, first saluting Wang Mingyan and Zhu Yingying, then greeting Wang Wanxi.

"Why aren’t you training and running here?" Wang Mingyan scolded, but didn’t actually intend to drive them away.

"Uncle, we just finished training and were about to disperse when we heard someone was testing here, so we came to watch the show." a young man chuckled.

The elderly man trailing behind snorted, "Watching the show? You want to see others’ jokes, don’t you? Feeling proud because you’re already past it, are you?"

Past it? Lin Tian’s mind clicked, realizing these were youths who had passed the bronze door test. Of course, some here were beyond the Postnatal Early Stage.

"Fourth Elder, young people are full of vigor, competitive. That’s perfectly normal. You and I went through it too, back then," Wang Mingyan saw it more openly, speaking for the youths.

"Hmph..." The old man, addressed as Fourth Elder, snorted but didn’t further scold, tacitly approving the young people’s behavior. He turned to Wang Wanxi and asked, "Xiao Xi, what’s this young man’s name? Can he manage?"

The newly arrived youths perked their ears up, keen to catch Wang Wanxi’s response. Wang Wanxi smiled slightly, "Fourth Elder, whether he can or not isn’t up to me to say, watch and see."

"Oh, seems like you’re quite confident, Xiao Xi. I’m getting a bit interested," Fourth Elder remarked blandly.

"Uncle Wang, can we start?" Lin Tian, who had been silent, turned to Wang Mingyan and calmly asked.

This calm demeanor surprised everyone; facing so many people, with elders and heirs of the Ancient Martial families, and young talents, an eighteen-year-old boy could remain so composed. Such calm wasn’t something just anyone could muster.

Some less courageous folks, faced with so many, such formidable Ancient Martial Artists, would be at a loss for words.

Wang Mingyan nodded, stating simply, "The door is open now, you just need to close it."

This sounded simple enough, but the young men and women were inwardly skeptical. My uncle is pretty sly, asking him to close the doors. A typical Postnatal Early Stage Ancient Martial Artist struggles to close just one side, let alone both.

However, they were even more excited; with challenge comes anticipation, excitement, spectacle.

Wang Mingyan didn’t genuinely wish to make things hard for Lin Tian, but wanted to test him by saying that, seeing if his sister or Lin Tian had any reaction.

To his disappointment, he saw no reaction from either, both as indifferent as before.

"Damn, I just don’t believe it. Can this young man actually do it?" Wang Mingyan muttered softly, as if his sister heard his mutter, glanced at him, a faint smile in her eyes, but said nothing to refute.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Lin Tian walked to the right door, placing one hand on the bronze door. This action puzzled the Wang family folks, simultaneously wondering if he intended to push it with one hand?

Just as that thought struck, the bronze door suddenly emitted a loud sound, the right door began moving, and much faster than when it opened before.

"Yay... Brother Lin Tian is the best!" The innocent loli’s adoring cheer resounded again.

"Xiao Yinyin, you admire everyone, huh?" a Wang family youth joked.

"Who said so? I don’t admire you, and I’m already five and a half, don’t call me by my nickname, use my full name, Wang Si Yin," the little loli said earnestly.

The youth was rendered speechless by the loli, but many laughed aloud at her latter words.

As everyone laughed at the little loli’s banter, Lin Tian stopped halfway in closing the door. The youth teased Wang Si Yin, "Wang Si Yin, your Brother Lin Tian can’t push it anymore."

Wang Si Yin glared, then earnestly said, "Who said Brother Lin Tian can’t push? He can rest a bit and keep pushing."

The child’s words were unintentional, but the listeners took note. If he couldn’t close it all at once, it meant his strength wasn’t enough; there wasn’t any such thing as resting to push again.

Wang Mingyan eyed Wang Wanxi, smiling faintly, "Sister, let’s leave it at that. Though a bit regretful, he’s already very good." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

These were polite words, but everyone present understood the subtext, that Lin Tian’s strength fell short.
