The Prodigies War

Chapter 762: Apology and revenge

“Senior Brother Mo Feng, there’s something unusual about that youngster.”

On the way, a female disciple of the Spirit Pearl Sect approached Mo Feng with a serious expression. Her name was Wen Feiran, and she was a beautiful and intelligent girl.

“What is it?” Mo Feng scrunched his brows.

“That youngster looked harmless, but there was a threatening air around him. I’m certain that he also has a cultivation base of the Heaven Ascension Stage.” She contemplated, “I don’t remember that there is a character like him in the other clans and sects who are also participating in the training.”

Mo Feng frowned and didn’t take her seriously, “Do you think a true top figure will hang out with a stupid girl like Xia Xiaochong?”

Wen Feiran reminded him, “Perhaps there is something else we don’t know.”

Mo Feng lost his patience. “Junior Sister Wen, let me ask you this, if he possesses powerful strength, then why did he hold back just now? Why didn’t he confront us?”

Wen Feiran was about to say something when Mo Feng interrupted her with a dismissive wave of his hand, “Let’s not waste time talking. In this training, the only opponent we should be worried about is Yue Jianming from the Thousand Illusions Sect. He is regarded as the strongest genius in the Fire Spirit Province. With him leading the Thousand Illusions Sect team in the competition, they likely will take first place.” He ended with an overcast face.

“Yue Jianming...” Wen Feiran sighed in her heart. The mention of the name also brought indescribable pressure on her.

He was an outstanding genius with extraordinary talent. He started cultivating at the age of three, and he broke through to the Spirit Dipper Stage from the True Martial Stage at the age of five!

At the age of nine, he had already become a well-known Spirit Sea cultivator, and his name and achievements shook the entire Fire Spirit Province!

His cultivation base was growing more and more unfathomable, and it was even rumored that he had already built the foundation to break through to the Cyclic Derivation Stage. He was only suppressing his own cultivation to fight for a flawless absolute apex path in the great dao catastrophe!

Who wouldn’t feel pressure facing an opponent like him?

“It’s rumored that a sage from the strongest sect in the West Infinity World has said that signs of the changing great dao have begun to become visible in the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain!”

Mo Feng’s eyes flashed. “Recently, in every region of the world, there have been some kinds of unbelievable phenomena and changes occurring. This all indicates that it won’t be long before the battle of the great age kicks off.”

After a pause, he continued, “Before that, we must make preparations and seize every opportunity to strengthen ourselves. Only then will we be able to fight for a place in this unprecedented great age!”

Wen Feiran listened silently. She knew that it was easier said than done.

In this world, there were countless geniuses and brilliant talents. When the battle of the great ages came, people like them were likely not qualified to participate!

After all, the Fire Spirit Province was only one of the many big provinces in the West Infinity World, and the Spirit Pearl Sect was just one of the great sects in Fire Spirit Province.

In the Ancient Wasteland Domain, there were four great worlds and tens of thousands of provinces and cities!

There were also many small worlds and mysterious unknown places.

Based on that, the disciples of the Spirit Pearl Sect in the Fire Spirit Province were nothing compared to the countless outstanding talents and geniuses in the world.

Wen Feiran wasn’t pessimistic, but she knew that was the reality. It would be wishful thinking if she believed she could participate in the battle of the great age.

Unfortunately, she knew that neither Mo Feng nor the disciples of the Spirit Pearl Sect would listen to her.

Suddenly, she snapped out of her thoughts. Weren’t we talking about that boy? Why did it become like this...

She smiled wryly to herself. Mo Feng obviously won’t listen to me. I just hope that...I am thinking and worrying too much.

……

“They went too far!”

In the vast mountains, Xia Xiaochong’s innocent face was red with anger, but she still looked very cute, which made Lin Xun smile.

“Oh, by the way, are you angry too?” Xia Xiaochong asked.

Lin Xun nodded.

Apologetically, Xia Xiaochong squeezed the corner of her clothes and exclaimed, “I’m so sorry, it's because of me that you were bullied by them. It’s better for you to not follow me anymore.”

PA!

Lin Xun couldn’t stand it any longer. He raised his hand and knocked on Xia Xiaochong’s head, “Do you know that if I wasn’t there just now, you would have been in danger?”

“Uh...” Xia Xiaochong looked confused. “That indeed seems to be the case, so should I be even angrier?”

What question was that?

Lin Xun didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. This girl is too simple-minded.

“Then what should we do? Don’t tell me we are going to go back there and settle accounts with them?” Xia Xiaochong looked troubled. “But, we can’t beat them! What if we are bullied again? Argh, if Master was here, she would have a way to settle this...”

As Lin Xun listened to her rambling, he couldn’t help but sigh again.

Well, it’s impossible to expect the little clueless girl to give me a definite answer. He decided to help her to the end!

“Give me your Spirit Accumulation Orb,” ordered Lin Xun.

“Huh? What do you need it for?”

“Just listen to me.”

Lin Xun sounded very rude and unreasonable.

Xia Xiaochong nodded and obediently took the orb out.

“Also, from now on, you just need to watch, do you understand?”

Xia Xiaochong couldn’t help asking again, “Why?”

“Don’t ask why!”

Xia Xiaochong nodded pitifully.

“Follow me.”

With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Xun returned along the path they came from with astonishing speed.

……

“Senior Brother Mo Feng, we discovered a group of fire-eyed apes in the mountains ahead!”

In a mountain forest, a Spirit Pearl Sect disciple returned in a hurry to report the good news.

The spirits of Mo Feng and his party were instantly lifted.

The disciples of the seven major forces were all doing everything they could to fight for the top spot in the ranking of the Ziniu Mountain competition.

What determined the ranking was the number of beast spirits obtained!

Unfortunately, although there were many savage beasts suitable for hunting in the periphery of Ziniu Mountain, there were too many disciples from the seven major forces. It became a situation where there was not enough meat to go around the many wolves.

Especially since the training had reached its final stage. Only ten days remained, so there were fewer and fewer beasts discovered along the way.

The situation made Mo Feng and his party a little anxious, so they were all excited to hear the good news of discovering a group of fire-eyed apes!

“Let’s go!”

Mo Feng motioned his hand, leading everyone to attack together.

Before long, they arrived in the depths of a mountain, where they saw only jagged and grotesque rocks and not a blade of grass. The ground was also a strange dark blood-red shade.

At the end of the mountain stood a huge cave guarded by five fire-eyed apes.

The fire-eyed ape was an extremely vicious type of beast. They were around ten feet tall and had thick and long limbs and tough and strong steel-like bodies. Their hair was dense and thick like needles, and their blood-red eyes blazed like flames.

“This is great, this should be the lair of the fire-eyed ape! If we make good use of our chance, we might be able to take them all out in one go!” Mo Feng exclaimed.

The other disciples also beamed with joy. Fire-eyed apes at most possessed the strength of the Spirit Sea Stage.

Roar!

The fire-eyed apes in front of the cave roared like thunder when they detected the danger.

“Kill!” Mo Feng bellowed, his imposing bearing soaring. He unsheathed a brilliantly golden blade and rushed forward like a waterfall.

However, just as he lifted his foot, he saw the five fire-eyed apes go stiff in front of the cave before falling to the ground with a thud. Blood streamed from their necks, staining the ground a striking red shade.

“They…”

Mo Feng and the others stood frozen in shock, their pupils rapidly shrinking. The unexpected scene caught them off guard.

Soon, a tall and handsome figure strode out of the cave.

“It’s you!” Mo Feng cried out, his expression dramatically changing.

The other Spirit Pearl Sect disciples also recognized the handsome figure. Isn’t he the coward who we scared away? Why did he suddenly appear here?

Wen Feiran’s heart sank. She had a bad feeling.

The handsome figure was of course Lin Xun. He brought out the Spirit Concentration Orb and swept it lightly across the air. Instantly, the spirits were extracted from the corpse of the fire-eyed ape and absorbed into the Spirit Accumulation Orb.

Without even glancing at Mo Feng and the others, Lin Xun turned around and was about to leave.

“Stop!” Mo Feng thundered, his face dark and unpleasant. They had found a cave of fire-eyed apes after much difficulty, but Lin Xun beat them to it. How could he stand it?

Moreover, they regarded Lin Xun as a coward after they scared him off, yet it was the coward who snatched their prey. How could they stand it?

“Boy, how dare you snatch our prey! Do you not want to live anymore?”

“Hurry up and get over it and give us the Spirit Accumulation Orb!”

“If you step away from here, we will break your legs!”

The other disciples bellowed. Their attitudes were very unfriendly, and their tone of voice was rude and unreasonable.

They were too exasperated. The group of prey that they were eyeing had been snatched before their eyes.

Shua!

However, Lin Xun’s figure flickered away like he didn’t hear them at all. He moved at an incredible speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Mo Feng tried to catch up, but Lin Xun was nowhere to be seen.

“Damn it! That guy runs faster than a hare!” Mo Feng gnashed his teeth, his face darkening.

“If I catch him, I am going to skin him alive!”

The other Spirit Pearl Sect disciples cursed one after another to vent their anger. How dare a coward take our prey? This is a blatant provocation!

Only Wen Feiran knitted her beautiful brows in a frown. She sensed that the situation was getting worse and worse. The youngster seems to be deliberately getting revenge on us!
