The Prodigies War

Even Ji Xingyao and Yu Lingkong were surprised about the unusual situation that Lin Xun was in.

“That shameless bastard finally got what he deserves. Let’s see how he is going to clean up this mess now,” Ji Xingyao gloated.

At the same time, she found it very abnormal. Even if she detested and despised Lin Xun, she had to admit that he possessed the power and ability to stand proud among the younger generation.

However, he still hadn’t lit a Spirit Lantern.

“He is not good enough for a high post, but too proud to take a low one. He only wants to look tough, but is unwilling to accept the reality. That guy is nothing special,” Yu Lingkong chuckled.

The spirit was the key to becoming a king, as it reflected one’s potential in becoming a king in the future.

In Yu Lingkong’s view, even if Lin Xun had demonstrated heaven-defying strength in the past, if his spirit was flawed or damaged then his future achievements would be limited even if he stepped onto the absolute apex king path.

A long-term vision was the most important. For the younger generation, their current achievements might be outstanding but they were fighting for the future and not the present!

The battle of the great age was coming and unprecedented opportunities and challenges would arise with it.

Under those circumstances, if Lin Xun’s spirit was flawed or damaged, then he wouldn’t stand a chance against other peerless geniuses in the fight for the great dao.

He might even vanish with the mass of people!

This was Yu Lingkong’s point of view!

Additionally, Mu Jianting, Lei Qianjun and others also noticed the same thing. They had no grudges against Lin Xun, and they haven’t had any exchange with him in the past so they couldn’t help feeling nervous when they saw Demon God Lin, who had set off countless storms in the past, run into a worrying situation.

But very soon, Ji Xingyao, Yu Lingkong, Mu Jianting and everyone else soon calmed their emotions and no longer paid any attention to him.

They had already lit their own Spirit Lanterns and were comprehending and trying to fathom the spirit inheritance imbued within the Spirit Lantern, which was an incredibly precious and rare treasure.

……

“Demon God Lin, accept the reality, stop pretending. Don’t you think it’s embarrassing?” Sha Liuchan burst out laughing.

He finally found the opportunity to attack Lin Xun so how would he hold back?

Lin Xun scrunched his brows. That guy is so unpleasant.

He found that the Spirit Lantern that Sha Liuchan lit up could barely pass the level of Beam Brilliantly and was much inferior to Bai Lingxi.

He couldn’t understand where that guy got the courage to jump around so smugly and laugh at him.

In addition to Sha Liuchan, Zhongli Wuji and Qing Lian’er were also adding insult to injury. Of course, they were only doing it verbally because they couldn’t harm Lin Xun in any way.

Hua—

Suddenly, an astonishing scene happened—a gush of purple spirit power took the shape of a giant cauldron and rushed to the height of where Lin Xun’s spirit power was.

Then, a Spirit Lantern was instantly lit up from the level of the initial Shine Brightly to the Beam Brilliantly level. The process was completed in the blink of an eye!

Everyone’s attention was instantly drawn there.

Who else could light a Spirit Lantern to the level of Midday Sun?

Unbelievable!

Shortly after that, they noticed that the spirit power came from a stunning girl in a purple dress. Not only did her appearance stand out from the rest of the people, but her smooth and fair skin also shone with intelligence and wisdom. Her graceful figure was covered with wisps of holy purple mist that made her more mysterious and ethereal.

Luo Jia!

A successor from Miluo Palace in the Earth Emperor World!

She was a very mysterious girl. From the moment she entered the Dao Lantern Festival, her whereabouts and movements had been very mysterious and secretive. She was like a wisp of smoke, always traveling alone.

Moreover, her performance in the first three tests wasn’t particularly outstanding so she hadn’t attracted much attention so far.

But now, she lit up a lantern to the level of Midday Sun and amazed the audience!

“It turns out to be her…”

“It seems like we have failed to take notice of the mysterious Miluo Palace successor.”

Luo Jia’s achievement surprised all cultivators.

But the most surprising thing was that Ji Xingyao took the initiative to congratulate Luo Jia. “Miss Luo Jia is indeed worthy of being the chief successor of the Miluo Palace. Given the strength of your spirit, your future must be very promising.”

“Fellow cultivator, you are over praising me.” Luo Jia’s voice was as clear as still water and as bright as an orchid in an empty valley, just like herself.

It was at that moment when Yu Lingkong also spoke up, “Luo Jia? I heard that Elder Ling Juekong who has been in closed-door cultivation for as long as eight thousand years in Miluo Palace made an appearance in public last year and accepted an official disciple called Luo Jia. Miss, could that be you?”

“I didn’t expect the senior brother from the Longevity Land in the South Wonder World would have heard of my name,” Luo Jia said softly.

“Haha, Elder Ling Juekong is known as a legendary saint in the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain. His unfathomable and unmatched sword skills have reached the state of perfection, and as early as eight thousand years ago, he earned the title of Miluo Sword Saint and awed the world.”

Yu Lingkong gave a hearty laugh. “The elders of my sect have always admired Elder Ling Juekong so I heard from them that Miss Luo Jia was accepted by Elder Ling Juekong as an official disciple.”

Si!

Everyone expelled an audible gasp.

No one expected the mysterious successor from the Miluo Palace to be an official disciple of a sword saint!

A Saint possessed unfathomable abilities and supernatural powers just like a divine dragon.

And a Saint renowned for his swordsmanship was even more terrifying.

Imaginably, Luo Jia had to have a superb aptitude and foundation for her to be accepted as an official disciple of a sword saint.

“The old man Bai Fengliu mentioned that Luo Jia is suspected to be related to the Celestial Phoenix Clan. Her background is already amazing, but now it turns out that she is also a successor of a sword saint…Amazing!” Lin Xun marveled in his heart.

He had come across Saints before, such as the Old Ape hiding in the Deva Secret Realm, as well as the white cicada, golden cicada and blood-coloured moth lying dormant in the Mulberry Woodland in Blood Kill Battlefield.

Therefore, he knew very well that characters able to set foot onto the Saint Path were extremely terrifying.

The fact that Luo Jia was accepted as an official disciple by a sword saint at such a young age was more than enough to prove that she was extraordinary!

The area became silent and still while everyone’s emotions were fluctuating. Only then did they realize that in the Dao Lantern Festival was a sword saint disciple who was so low-key that they almost disregarded her.

However, Sha Liuchan’s ear-piercing laughter broke the silent atmosphere.

“Demon God Lin, you should give up now! The Spirit Lantern that Miss Luo Jia lit just now was near you, but you couldn’t light it. Don’t tell me that you don’t know what that means.”

Everyone’s expressions changed strangely.

Although Sha Liuchan was mocking and attacking Demon God Lin, everything he said was the truth and they were witnesses to it.

“Hmph, that guy has no self-awareness. He thinks that he is on the same level as Fairy Ji and Young Master Yu. He wishes!”

“He doesn’t know when to stop! Demon God Lin, are you sure that you want to continue to embarrass yourself here?”

Qing Lian’er and Zhongli Wuji also spoke out one after another, their voices loaded with contempt.

It was understandable. They had to run from Lin Xun before as if their buttocks had caught fire so they were itching to trample and humiliate him to release their pent-up shame and anger.

Lin Xun scrunched his nose with disgust. He felt like flies were constantly hovering around him and buzzing in his ears.

“You guys remind me of a saying,” he suddenly said aloud, catching the interest of many experts.

“Everyone, look, Demon God Lin is furious from shame. Is he going to speak up to defend himself? Save it! Stop being so embarrassed! Even I feel embarrassed for you!” Sha Liuchan sneered.

Lin Xun continued indifferently, “The saying is don’t waste your time with idiots. You guys are worse than idiots and do not deserve to be called genius talents!”

“You…”

Sha Liuchan was about to say something when Lin Xun’s spirit power suddenly glowed in the high altitude. Although he hadn’t lit a Spirit Lantern, his spirit power suddenly bloomed with endless light!

It was so bright and vibrant that some experts avoided direct eye contact with it.

“That…”

Everyone was shaken by the sight, realizing that Demon God Lin was truly enraged and pushed his spirit power to its peak state.

However, if the spirit power was so powerful then why hadn’t it lit a lantern yet?”

Could it be that he was searching for something?

“Hmph! Even if his spirit power is strong, the fact that he hasn’t lit a Spirit Lantern yet means that it is damaged or flawed!” Sha Liuchan, Zhongli Wuji and Qing Lian’er didn’t give up on targeting Lin Xun regardless of how surprised they were.

“Do you think I can’t light a Spirit Lantern? Open your eyes and watch!” Lin Xun no longer held back.

His spirit power suddenly transformed into a three-inch tall man with a tall, elegant and bright body and a face that was an exact likeness of Lin Xun’s.

The soul of the primordial spirit!

However, almost no one noticed the presence of the soul of the primordial spirit because his spirit power was too bright and dazzling.

Buzz!

The soul of the primordial spirit paced the void and then, with a flick of its sleeve, it illuminated a nearby Spirit Lantern. In the blink of an eye, there seemed to be a giant brilliant sun blazing in the sky.

Midday Sun!

Everyone’s jaw dropped. Demon God Lin was indeed holding back his strength. His spirit power is indeed tremendously strong!

Sha Liuchan, Zhongli Wuji, and Qing Lian’er were struck utterly dumb, and their hearts ran wildly in their chest like ten thousand horses were galloping inside.

They had confidently believed that Lin Xun’s spirit was damaged and constantly made mocking remarks at him, which filled them with joy and delight.

But now, they felt as if someone had thwacked them in the back of their heads, and a dark cloud of gloom had displaced the joy in their hearts, which made them almost cough up blood. How would they have expected such a turn of events?

It felt as painful as someone slapping them hard in the face!

“Demon God Lin intended to tease Sha Liuchan and the others so he held back from acting and waited to slap them in the face.”

Many cultivators donned strange expressions. They believed that Lin Xun was deliberately pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

Otherwise, why would he need to wait until now to light a Spirit Lantern to the level of Midday Sun?

His method was too cruel!
