The Prodigies War

Chapter 476

“What? You’re so arrogant, so I thought you would have a lot of points but it turns out that you’re that poor.” A hint of contempt flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes.

Lan Yu was so angry that he wanted to slap Lin Xun to death. “Do you know what one thousand points represent? How dare you make such a huge demand?”

“Then you must have 800 points, right?” Lin Xun asked again.

The veins popped on Lan Yu’s forehead. Does this guy think academy points are as easy to get as a cabbages?

“What about five hundred points?”

Lin Xun’s expression grew more and more contemptuous, ”If you don’t even have that much then maybe you should try to earn some points first before making fun of others.”

Lan Yu’s eyes glinted maliciously like he was about to kill. He wanted to teach Lin Xun a lesson, but he held back in the end and just drew a deep breath. “Fine, I agree to five hundred points!”

Lin Xun grinned and patted him on the shoulder. “Good, you can wait in line to challenge me then.”

Lan Yu’s face almost turned purple from anger when he saw Lin Xun’s confident look.

“Oh, by the way, if you guys want to challenge me, remember to prepare your points as well. I won’t embarrass you. When you lose, just give me all your points.”

Lin Xun swept a glance across Xue Yun, Jin Zhuliu, Shi Yunpeng and the others. Their faces immediately darkened.

So arrogant!

He’s too arrogant!

The other students’ eyes went wide. Lin Xun is so fearless! Is he not afraid of retaliation?

“You can also notify other people to line up with their points if they want to learn from me.”

Lin Xun’s remark made all the nearby Dao Martial Department students redden with anger. Who does this guy think we are? Lambs waiting to be slaughtered?

“Lin Xun, don’t look so smug! You will suffer later!”

“So infuriating. That guy is so annoying. Senior brothers and sisters, don’t be nice to him!”

“Lin Xun, you are so arrogant! Do you think our Dao Martial Department is just decoration?”

Uproar broke out. Many people criticized and scolded Lin Xun.

That was the Dao Martial Department so the disturbance quickly attracted many people, and many students quickly informed others and invited more people to come.

“I have informed Senior Brother Yu Ruhuo. If he knew that Lin Xun was acting so arrogantly, he would definitely do something.”

“Hey, I’ll tell the students from aristocratic clans that are enemies with Lin Xun, such as the Hua Clan, the Song Clan and the Chi Clan.”

……

No crowd was considered too big when watching fun. Lin Xun’s appearance would no doubt stir up a storm!

Lin Xun seemed to hear those remarks as he asked Li Xiaofei, “Ugly, where is the martial arts arena?”

Li Xiaofei flew into a rage, “Who are you calling ugly?!”

Lin Xun nodded and asked again, “Mole, where is the martial arts arena?”

Flames almost shot out from Li Xiaofei’s eyes. He wanted to tear off Lin Xun’s mouth.

“It’s right ahead,” Xue Yun said aloud, cold and indifferent.

Lin Xun raised his eyes and peered at the huge field and the ancient black stone platform ahead. It was stained with blood and marked with flowing obscure rune patterns.

That was the martial arts arena, a place for Dao Martial Department students to learn from one another. In the previous thousands of years, countless genius figures had fought earthshaking matches on it.

Masses of people had gathered around the martial arts arena when they heard the news that Lin Xun would duel there.

Moreover, many students were racing over from other areas.

“Come on, Lin Xun, I will teach you a lesson today. I will wash away the humiliation for the imperial family and make you know how high the sky is!” Lan Yu roared.

He wasn’t the first to jump out, but he couldn’t control himself after Lin Xun had repeatedly angered him on the way.

“White Hair, didn’t I tell you to line up?” Lin Xun waved his hand dismissively.

The nearby people wanted to laugh but they didn’t dare to. White Hair? Only Lin Xun would dare call Lan Yu that!

“Lin Xun, just you wait!” Lan Yu’s face darkened.

However, Lin Xun ignored him completely and stepped into the martial arts arena. As he stood on the stone platform, he ran his eyes across Xue Yun, Jin Zhuliu and Shi Yunpeng. “You guys called me here. Now, which of you want to go first?”

“I’ll go first!”

Shi Yunpeng strode forward, murderous intent surging around him.

“Wait.” Lin Xun frowned. “Do you not know the rules?”

Shi Yunpeng was taken aback at first and then he shouted, “We’ve already waited so long. What else do you want?”

Lin Xun said in a displeased manner, “Hand over your identity plate first. I’m worried that you will refuse to acknowledge your loss and hand over your points later.”

Shi Yunpeng lost his temper and threw his student nameplate to the side of the martial arts arena.

Lin Xun nodded. “Come up then.”

Shi Yunpeng grunted and leapt onto the stone platform without any wavering. “Lin Xun, I’m going to kill you!”

With a loud boom, the bearing around him suddenly changed. Clouds rolled and mist spiraled. As he thrust his palm forward, reddened clouds growled with thunder and sharp cracks of lightning pierced the air.

He immediately mobilized all his strength and performed a unique inheritance art. His fingers and hands moved like they were enveloped with thunderbolts.

Little Wind Lightning Art!

Many people’s eyes lit up. It was an ancient art of the Shi Clan!

Shi Yunpeng was not an ordinary person. He was a top figure in the Dao Martial Department. He possessed a cultivation base of the perfect Spirit Sea Stage and was ranked in the top fifty of the Spirit Sea Gold Rankings.

Many people ground their teeth in excitement when they saw him launch a devastating blow as his first attack.

Boom!

“You have some ability, but that’s not enough.” Lin Xun crushed the powerful blow with just one punch.

Many people were stunned into silence. That guy has such a bad mouth.

“Prepare to die!” Shi Yunpeng roared as he activated the Little Wind Thunder Art to its fullest. Reddened clouds rumbled and lightning flashed and boomed.

“Your voice is so loud so I thought you would be powerful, but it turns out that you’re not that amazing. Young man, you shouldn’t be so exaggerated.” Lin Xun never stopped speaking as they fought.

“Die!”

Shi Yunpeng’s eyes reddened, and his body surged with divine light. A terrifying aura of thunder and lightning rushed in from all directions.

The duel was very thrilling and exciting. The two both displayed their remarkable power on the stone platform, causing the wind and clouds to riot and dazzling lights to boom.

Outside the arena, many people cheered for Shi Yunpeng.

Some people looked at Lin Xun with disdain, thinking that Lin Xun wasn’t that remarkable and the rumors were exaggerated. They started to wonder how such a fierce person such as the Marquis of Rising Sky would lose to Lin Xun.

“In any case, Lin Xun isn’t bad. He’s much stronger than the freshmen of the Hidden Dragon Department, but he’s not good enough when compared to the students of our Martial Dao Department,” Jin Zhuliu said leisurely.

“He’s worthy of his fame,” Xue Yun remarked indifferently.

The others also agreed. They had all come prepared to fight Lin Xun, but when they saw that Lin Xun was equally matched with Shi Yunpeng, they couldn’t help but feel relieved. They thought that the rumors outside had been too exaggerated, and Lin Xun wasn’t as amazing as rumored.

A small number of people donned strange and complicated expressions. They noticed the oddness right away. How would a savage and fierce person such as Lin Xun need to fight so hard?

There were a small number of people who were the descendants of noble families who had participated in the empress’ birthday banquet. They had witnessed Lin Xun’s amazing power and how he suppressed Chi Cangfeng and defeated the Marquis of Rising Sky!

Chi Cangmei was also among them. She had a deeper understanding of Lin Xun than the others, so she knew how terrifying Lin Xun was.

She could tell that Lin Xun was deliberately holding back his strength. He was worried that he would scare off some people if he performed too well and lose out on their wagers.

“That guy is so scheming. He’s trying to deceive people.”

Chi Cangmei sighed inwardly, but she didn’t expose him. Lin Xun had defeated her younger brother Chi Cangfeng, and he was still mocked and looked down upon by many people to this day.

She hoped that more people would jump into the pit that Lin Xun had dug and have a taste of being suppressed by Lin Xun.

On the other side, Hua Wuyou was standing with an icy expression. She hated Lin Xun to the bone as well because he would have killed her if one of the experts in her clan hadn’t rescued her in time.

Naturally, she hoped that someone would teach Lin Xun a lesson and even cripple him.

However, she could tell that Lin Xun’s performance was strange. If he was actually this weak, how could he beat me?

He is doing that deliberately!

“Wuyou, is he the one who defeated you? He doesn’t look that amazing,” a pretty maiden giggled.

A gush of anger surged in Hua Wuyou’s heart, but she said indifferently, “Lady Xianxian, you and the Marquis of Rising Sky are both members of the imperial family, so why don’t you take this opportunity to personally teach Lin Xun a lesson to avenge the marquis?

The pretty girl called Lady Xianxian was taken aback at first. Then, a proud smile curved her lips. “He’s too weak and not worth me doing anything.”

Hua Wuyou no longer said anything else. She just snorted inwardly. He’s too weak? He forced the Marquis of Rising Sky to kneel! How ignorant.

In the martial arts arena, they continued to exchange blows, each matching the other’s skill. After five hundred fierce rounds, Shi Yunpeng was finally defeated.

An uproar erupted from the audience. The battle had been extremely fierce all along, but no one saw how Shi Yunpeng was defeated!

“Young man, go back and cultivate for a few more years. You and I are not on the same level. If I hadn’t shown mercy, you would have been defeated long ago.”

Lin Xun’s forehead was beaded with sweat, and his breathing was quicker than usual but he still spoke in a superior manner as he looked down at Shi Yunpeng.

“Boo—”

A chorus of boos erupted in the audience. He had to fight five hundred rounds before he could defeat Shi Yunpeng, but he said they are not on the same level!

Lin Xun is so shameless. He is brazenly spewing nonsense. Is he not afraid of being struck by lightning?
