The Prodigies War

Chapter 146: Selecting a Reward



Chapter 146: Selecting a Reward

Bai Lingxi was not only very beautiful and graceful but she was also remarkable at cultivation. In addition, she possessed the extremely rare innate talent Eternal Shining Stars.

Furthermore, she was the eldest granddaughter of Marquis Jinghai and came from a very prestigious family. Based on her background, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say she was the pride of heaven.

Many people adored and admired Bai Lingxi in Blood Kill Camp, and many equally outstanding young masters had been trying to win her heart.

No one dared to be disrespectful to a goddess-like maiden.

However, Lin Xun questioned Bai Lingxi and criticized her for meddling in their business. This angered many people and they thought he was treating Bai Lingxi with disrespect.

Even Shi Yu’s gaze turned strange and he muttered to himself. He’s poking a hornet’s nest!

Why do they say that beauty can lead to disasters?

Because a beautiful woman always receives endless love and pursuit, and that comes with all sorts of troubles.

Someone couldn’t help but thunder, “How dare you!”

“Your rudeness is unbearable. Hurry up and apologize to Miss Lingxi or I won’t spare you!”

Many people followed his example and shouted at Lin Xun like they were Bai Lingxi’s guardians.

Lin Xun turned a deaf ear to all the yelling. He felt indignant that he was so close to defeating Xiao Kun but Bai Lingxi suddenly appeared and ruined everything. It would be more strange if he was in a good mood.

As for the furious clamor from the people around him, he just treated it as dogs barking.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Bai Lingxi didn’t show a tinge of anger from Lin Xun’s questioning. She simply said indifferently, “You won. I will tell Xiao Kun to give you the Lengning Pills he lost.”

Xiao Kun was stupefied and a little reluctant to do so. But when his eyes came into contact with Bai Lingxi’s ethereal and calm eyes, he suppressed himself from saying anything.

Bai Lingxi’s action won praise and applause from many people. What does gracious beauty mean?

This is exactly what it is!

In comparison, Lin Xun’s face is extremely ugly!

Lin Xun didn’t feel the same way as the other people. Although Bai Lingxi’s decision surprised him, he still said with a deep frown, “Besides this, that guy also owes me one thousand Lengning Pills.” He pointed to Wang Wenyuan.

Wang Wenyuan’s face darkened. This guy is pushing his luck. Does he really think he won?

Bai Lingxi nodded. “He will also give them to you.”

Surprised, Lin Xun said with a smile, “Oh, not bad. You are a nice girl who can distinguish between right and wrong. I misunderstood you. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Everyone felt stifled anger. He is so arrogant! Many people almost couldn’t stop themselves from charging forward to beat up Lin Xun.

However, Bai Lingxi still had an unworldly elegance as she suddenly looked at Lin Xun and said, “I will personally challenge you when you break through to the ninth layer True Martial Stage.”

Before Lin Xun agreed, she turned around and gracefully left.

Lin Xun sighed inwardly. As I thought, that girl isn’t easy to deceive. By appearing at such a time, she not only saved Xiao Kun’s face but also won many hearts. Then, she threw a challenge at me and made me have to agree.

However, Lin Xun wasn’t afraid. Bai Lingxi might possess unimaginably terrifying strength but I believe that I won’t be inferior to her when I reach the ninth layer True Martial Stage!

……

Uproar broke out.

Who would have thought that Bai Lingxi would suddenly appear and end the battle between Lin Xun and Xiao Kun.

Xiao Kun lost?

No.

It was just that Bai Lingxi declared the outcome of the battle. Perhaps not everyone was convinced of the result and accepted it, but since Xiao Kun didn’t say anything, they had no choice but to agree.

However, uproar and commotion broke out when Bai Lingxi issued Lin Xun a formal challenge. It was a huge surprise to everyone.

Something like this rarely happened!

Some people thought that Bai Lingxi did that to help Xiao Kun regain face and to quell Lin Xun’s arrogance.

Other people thought that Bai Lingxi believed that she could have a fair fight with Lin Xun then and she did that because Lin Xun had been incredibly rude and disrespectful to her.

However, although there were many speculations about the reason for her action, many people were full of anticipation about that day. They couldn’t wait to see Bai Lingxi trample the clown Lin Xun.

……

Soon, the battle between Lin Xun and Xiao Kun had spread throughout the entire Blood Kill Camp. Although Xiao Kun had lost, many people thought otherwise.

After all, no one was sure who would win if Bai Lingxi hadn’t interfered.

However, Lin Xun’s tenacity and strength still attracted a lot of attention. It was very unusual for a youngster at the eight layer True Martial Stage to be evenly matched with a top figure like Xiao Kun.

For this reason, fewer people questioned whether Lin Xun deserved first place in the quarterly assessment.

In other words, the battle with Xiao Kun had resolved a lot of the criticism and skeptical remarks that Lin Xun had been receiving.

Bai Lingxi’s battle challenge to Lin Xun also gathered a lot of attention. Given her identity and background, many people couldn’t help but speculate what her purpose was for doing so.

Regardless of how the outside world was discussing the matter, at least, Lin Xun had become a celebrity figure in the 39th Campground. Some people detested him, some were jealous, some were envious, and some admired him.

After all, Lin Xun was no doubt the most well-known student in the 39th Campground!

……

Shortly after the battle ended, Lin Xun was summoned. He left the 39th Campground and Xu Sanqi guided him to a mysterious sealed underground space.

The area wasn’t particularly huge but the walls were all embedded with luminous moonlight stones and rows of jade stone shelves adorned the area. They were stored with various books, medicinal pills, aeth tools, aeth ingredients and rare treasures. The place turned out to be a treasure trove!

“There are medicinal pills, cultivation arts, aeth tools, and various items that aid cultivation. Putting aside their value, they are still high-quality treasures rarely seen in the world. You came first in the quarterly assessment so you get to choose one.”

Xu Sanqi spoke in his usual concise and blunt manner.

Lin Xun nodded, stepped forward, and carefully examined the items. The many cultivation arts caught his eyes first.

Jade Spirit Art, Violet Sky Art, Invincible Blood Spirit Art, Lightning Astral Battle Art, Spirit Refining Void Art…Each one was mysterious and profound and indeed couldn't be bought on the market in the outside world.

Lin Xun flipped through each one. After a short moment, he shook his head. They were indeed top cultivation arts but were a little underwhelming compared to the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture.

Then, Lin Xun examined the bottles of pills. Will Shaping Azure Spirit Pill, Seven Apertures Pill, Nine Precious Snow Ginseng Pill, Violet-Blue Jade Heaven Pill.

During the process, Xu Sanqi quietly watched without saying a word.

However, when he saw Lin Xun scan the various pills and then shift his gaze to the rune materials, he couldn’t help but frown. “Lin Xun, sometimes when there are too many choices, you should choose what is most suitable for yourself and not the most valuable.”

“I understand.”

He continued to check out the items until he examined everything in the treasure trove. In the end, he couldn’t choose anything.

“What exactly do you want?” Xu Sanqi’s voice was cold like he was annoyed by Lin Xun’s actions.

Lin Xun turned his head around and said to Xu Sanqi with a smile, “Instructor Xu, I have heard from Old Mo that your rune armament Wolf Fang Moon is damaged and you have been able to repair it for years. I have heard the specific details from Old Mo. It actually isn’t difficult to repair.”

Xu Sanqi’s heart fluttered. He fixed his razor-sharp eyes on Lin Xun, confirming the truthfulness of his words.

Other people would have frozen when they made contact with Xu Sanqi’s gaze but Lin Xun acted as if it was nothing. With a smile, he pointed to some rune materials in the treasure. “I just had a look at the treasures and I happened to notice that some of them are key to repairing the Wolf Fang Moon. However, you are still missing another three.”

Xu Sanqi couldn’t help but ask, “Which three?”

Lin Xun casually said, “The vine heart of the thousand-year-old ghost-eyed vine, the fangs of the abyss demon wolf, and a bottle of blood-gold spirit spring water, which can only be found in the earth’s core.”

Xu Sanqi narrowed his eyes slightly. He had also heard of those three rune materials but they were all treasures rarely seen on the market.

Even with his power, he wouldn’t be able to acquire them in a short time.

After a long silence, Xu Sanqi asked, “Are you absolutely sure that the Wolf Fang Moon can be completely repaired if those three materials are found?”

“I am only offering some of my thoughts. I believe Old Mo can definitely do it though.” Lin Xun said seriously.

Xu Sanqi fell silent again. It seemed that this matter had a huge impact on him and he had to think about it carefully.

After a moment, Xu Sanqi said expressionlessly, “I see. Choose your reward first.”

Lin Xun smiled and casually brought out a bottle that was labeled with Violet-Blue Jade Heaven Pill. “I’ve already chosen it. This is it.”

Xu Sanqi didn’t say anything else. He just turned around and left with Lin Xun.

Although he didn’t respond much to Lin Xun’s words, Lin Xun knew that if Xu Sanqi really regarded the Wolf Fang Moon as his life, as Old Mo had said, he wouldn’t ignore his suggestion.

……

That night, when Lin Xun returned to Old Mo’s warehouse, he received a total of two thousand Lengning Pills which were worth forty thousand silver coins or two hundred gold coins.

Even in Blood Kill Camp, that number of Lengning Pills could only be exchanged with 6,000 points.

It was obvious that Xiao Kun, Wang Wenyuan, and other students who came to provoke Lin Xun had to pay a huge price.

Leaning back on a chair, Lin Xun fell into deep thought. “A bottle of Violet-Blue Jade Heaven Pill and two thousand Lengning Pills should be enough to help me break through to the ninth layer True Martial Stage, right?”
