The Prodigies War

Everyone was dumbstruck.

The Jade Records Gold Book illuminated the universe with just the sacred golden glow around it. It was thought to be the greatest opportunity in the area.

Who would ever imagine that all that was an illusion?

The cultivators at the foot of the mountain were all frozen speechless. No one expected such a change.

“It’s like that again.” Toady and Zhao Jingxuan looked at each other, at a loss for words.

On the training grounds, the battle between Niu Tuntian and Lin Xun came to a stop. A world-shaking opportunity turned out to not exist. How would they still be in the mood to fight? Instead, they were eager to find the answer to the strange change.

“Let me try!” Niu Tuntian stepped forward and reached to grab the book, only to see it fade like light and vanish without a trace.

But then, the book took shape again, as dazzling and as golden as before. It instantly bathed the training grounds again in a sacred golden glow.

Everyone frowned in bewilderment. How could that be?

Such a large-scale training ground had been set up in the air with the power of the nine stone cauldrons. How could the world-shaking opportunity be just an illusion?

Intense bitterness and disappointment rushed up in everyone’s heart, making their hearts weep.

Lin Xun stepped towards the center of the training grounds.

His action drew the attention of Niu Tuntian and the others, but no one stopped him because they didn’t believe anything would change as they had already tried before.

However, to their surprise, Lin Xun didn’t do anything except sit cross-legged on the praying mat.

Huh?

Niu Tuntian and the others narrowed their eyes, gathering their strength and ready to strike. Although they had noticed the praying mat, their attention had all been drawn to the book, and they completely ignored it.

Lin Xun’s action made them vigilant and ready to take action.

The praying mat was old, worn and made of unknown materials, but when Lin Xun sat down cross-legged on it, an indescribable dao qi enveloped his body, resonating with his soul and spirit.

Vaguely, a golden book appeared before him and flipped open to a page without words. Instead, it was an ancient diagram.

The picture showed an ancient battlefield strewn with corpses and dotted with blood formed lakes. On it stood an imposing figure facing the sky. He had fought all the way from the nine netherworlds to the nine heavens.

The figure was bathed in blood, but he never retreated once. He was alone. He was an enemy of the world, the sky, and the great dao. He turned the universe upside around with endless killings and destroyed every living being in his way!

Boom!

Lin Xun felt his blood burn all over his body, and an indescribably strong fighting spirit rushed out from his heart, flooding his body. He felt a strong urge to fight.

It was a pure and passionate fighting intent, an indescribable power that resonated with Lin Xun. It sent his blood pulsing and burning.

All that was caused by an ancient diagram of a battle!

“Could that be the inheritance hidden in the Jade Records Gold Book?”

Lin Xun was burning with a fighting spirit. He strongly fought the urge and tried to continue to study the Jade Records Gold Book.

It was then that he felt a stinging pain all over his body, and an incomparably strong feeling of imminent danger.

This isn’t good!

He snapped awake to his senses and darted away from the praying mat with a flash.

Rumble!

All sorts of attacks came speeding towards him, and rays of divine lights shot from all directions.

The onslaught would have taken his life if he hadn’t dodged in time!

The ruthless attacks were from Niu Tuntian, Meng Lianqing, Kong Xiu and Xuan Luozi.

They had been closely watching Lin Xun. Their spirits were immediately lifted when they noticed Lin Xun’s entire body was surging with fighting spirit as though he had gained some sort of benefit.

They realized that the world-shaking opportunity wasn’t an illusion, but very likely to be linked to the praying mat!

When they came to that conclusion, they attacked without any hesitation to destroy all of Lin Xun’s chances of keeping the opportunity all to himself.

“Hmph! You didn’t die!? You’re damn lucky!” Niu Tuntian snorted.

“Friend, tell me, is the opportunity hidden in the mat?” Meng Lianqing’s voice was ice-cold.

They all eyed Lin Xun warily. Although a conflict had just broken out between Meng Lianqing and Kong Xiu, they all put aside their hatred for one another to seize the opportunity.

“Do you want to know? Try it yourself.”

Lin Xun’s black eyes were chilly, but intense fighting spirit continued to blaze in his heart. He had already determined that the praying mat wasn’t ordinary and that it contained terrifying inheritance.

Niu Tuntian and the others didn’t dare to act recklessly after what Lin Xun said.

The situation was very sensitive. They had to be vigilant of one another. Whoever dared to strike first would inevitably be targeted by others.

The cultivators at the foot of the mountain watched the conflict closely. They all realized that the situation had changed once again, and the atmosphere had become much more tense.

No one knew what would happen next.

“Haha, what? The opportunity is in front of you, but you don’t dare to fight for it? With your courage, are you sure you are worthy to stand here?” Lin Xun suddenly said aloud as he scanned the group of people, his dark eyes flashing like lightning. Surging fighting spirit gushed all around his body like a tide, almost breaking free!

“Are you provoking us?” Meng Lianqing asked in an ice-cold voice.

Niu Tuntian thundered, “You are just a small insignificant human. What qualifications do you have to talk here?!”

He hated Lin Xun to the core. He had never been called a ‘stupid bull’ in his life nor had he ever been humiliated in such a way. It was the greatest humiliation to him.

Kong Xiu and Xuan Luozi smiled coldly, disgusted by Lin Xun’s provocative behavior. Do you want to provoke us to fight each other? Do you want to take advantage of the situation?

Think again!

Niu Tuntian and Meng Lianqing also had the same thought. They all felt that Lin Xun was deliberately provoking them and had ulterior motives.

“Fortune favors the bold. You guys are too cowardly and lack courage and ambition. What qualifications do you have to compete with me?” Lin Xun’s eyes seemed to be shooting out lightning, and his brows scrunched contemptuously.

Even if his voice was indifferent, his words sent a shudder to people’s hearts like a clap of thunder.

“Has that guy gone crazy?”

The cultivators of all clans gasped at the foot of the mountain. Lin Xun seemed to have become another person. He fearlessly provoked four outstanding Saint-level figures. His strong stance seemed very unusual to them.

“What is that kid playing at?” Toady was also a little dumbfounded by Lin Xun’s actions.

His means were too direct and unsophisticated. It had to be the dumbest way to deal with four powerful cultivators at the same time!

“That’s not it.”

Zhao Jingxuan’s clear eyes glimmered. “In the battle for the great dao, the brave will emerge victorious. The fearless have no fear. Lin Xun must have discovered something!”

“Crazy! That guy is too crazy.”

“Hahaha, it seems like he knows that he can’t beat them so he gave up and is going to put all his eggs in one basket.”

“He doesn’t deserve the title young demon god! Someone who loses his cool in the face of such an opportunity would never achieve much on the cultivation path!”

“Anyone with a brain will know that his action is no different from seeking death.”

All sorts of ridicule and mocking sounded in the area. Most of which came from the Herculean Demon Bull Clan, Golden Luan Clan, Mysterious Ao Clan and the Cloud Hou Clan.

They all believed that Lin Xun was in a panic and was doomed.

After all, he was up against four peerless Saint-level figures!

Meanwhile, in the eyes of Niu Tuntian and the others, Lin Xun’s behavior was very abnormal. His provocation was too direct, which made them suspect that he had gone crazy.

“What a bunch of trash!” Lin Xun spat out and never looked at Niu Tuntian and the others again.

He strode forward, approaching the praying mat in the center. He was strong, direct and resolute, all of which proved that he was determined to win the opportunity.

Everyone realized that Lin Xun might be crazy, but he wasn’t kidding. He indeed intended to snatch the opportunity under the encirclement of all many enemies!

“Do you want to die?!” Niu Tuntian roared. He couldn’t stand it anymore. He swung his trident down at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun shifted his feet, narrowly avoiding the earthshaking blow. The trident brushed past him, crushing the surrounding space and quaking the area with an explosion of light.

Dong!

Lin Xun continued to fight with bare hands. His black eyes became deeper and deeper as he strode forward. Keeping close to the trident, he aimed a punch directly at Niu Tuntian’s face.

Niu Tuntian shook his shoulders, shooting out rays of black light. His right arm slammed into Lin Xun’s body like an iron pillar.

Boom!

The two collided, creating an explosion of divine lights. The air violently distorted and the space crumbled.

Even Meng Lianqing and the others turned ashen-faced as they discovered that Niu Tuntian was swaying from the blow!

The Herculean Demon Bull Clan was terrifying in that they possessed mighty strength and qi superior to those of all other clans. As the Saint of the Herculean Demon Bull Clan, Niu Tuntian had incredibly strong physical strength and body.

However, he failed to defeat his opponent in a head-to-head confrontation, and he even allowed a human boy to shake him!

How would that not be shocking?!

“Hmph!” Niu Tuntian’s face darkened, and his aura grew increasingly stronger. Lin Xun’s terrifying strength took him aback a little.

However, that was all.

He hadn’t mobilized all his strength!

Boom!

He swung his trident again, launching another attack. His figure resembled a moving mountain as it erupted in a blaze of black light and charged towards Lin Xun.

At the same time, Meng Lianqing said aloud, “We can’t waste any more time. Let’s work together to get rid of the problem first!”

Divine golden lights shrouded her body as she leapt onto the battlefield to attack Lin Xun with Niu Tuntian.

Kong Xiu and Xuan Luozi exchanged a glance with each other, seeming hesitant to act. But in the end, they both agreed to get rid of Lin Xun first.

Given the situation, it was undoubtedly best to get rid of a competitor first.

Moreover, they both knew that neither Niu Tuntian nor Meng Lianqing would let them take advantage of the situation to snatch the treasure.

Kill!

All of a sudden, divine lights beamed across the training ground and figures flashed past one another. The four peerless saints and saintess were all racing towards Lin Xun from different directions!

The rapid change in the situation caused an uproar among the cultivators at the foot of the mountain.

No one thought that the conflict would happen so suddenly, quickly and violently.

The fact that four top figures joined forces to attack Lin Xun also surprised many people.

They are just dealing with a human boy. Is there a need for them to attack at the same time? Are they not thinking too highly of the human?
