Urban: The Carefree Young Master Becomes Invincible by Lying Flat

Great Xia teems with prodigies, and the Ballad of the Nine Young Masters is sung throughout the land.

The ninth, the Leisurely Beastmaster, lounges in a high tower and rarely descends from his jade pavilion.

Everyone laughs at Lin Chen, the Lin family’s second son, for being lazy and carefree, with no desire to compete, placing last among the Nine Young Masters.

He awakened the talent [Imperial Beastmastery], which lets him contract ten spirit beasts, each carrying its own Imperial Guard Space.

Others cultivate through meditation; he cultivates through his spirit beasts.

Others fight with their fists; he fights with his spirit beasts.

Others fight tooth and nail for the rankings; he competes with his spirit beasts.

All he wants is to lie flat, live a long life, and enjoy a peaceful existence.

The trouble is, his spirit beasts are far too ambitious.

He sleeps, and his cultivation rises. He takes a sip of tea, and his Imperial Guard grows. As long as his spirit beasts show up in a competition, he wins.

His older brother is the Treasure-Suppressing Young Master, wealthy enough to overwhelm the world; he is the discreet Leisurely Beastmaster Young Master. The brothers are both crafty, and neither hesitates to trick the other. But because of the difference in their strength, Lin Chen loses more often than he wins. As his power grows, however, he starts winning more and losing less in their schemes against each other.

While the world battles without end, Lin Chen lounges in his tower, watching the winds of change.

By the way, it’s Leisurely Beastmaster, as in controlling beasts, not “salty fish.” Don’t misread it.
