The Prodigies War

Chapter 179 The Big Dipper Surrounds the Sun

Innate talents were a cultivator’s cultivation talent, which includes comprehension, constitution, and bloodline. It was collectively referred to as innate talents.

According to the empire's classification of innate talents, talents in the world were roughly divided into nine different grades.

Grade one was the highest.

Grade nine was the lowest.

People with rare innate talents could cultivate several times faster than ordinary people, but the most terrifying thing was that their ability to comprehend cultivation arts and martial arts was also much superior to that of ordinary people!

The Violet Sun Body was a type of innate talent that belonged to Zhao Yin and was ranked as grade seven.

Despite it only being only a grade-seven talent, he was already naturally superior to ordinary cultivators in terms of cultivation. He could be called one in a million.

At least, the remaining forty-two students in Blood Kill Camp were already the best among the younger generation of the empire yet only Bai Lingxi and Zhao Yin possessed innate talents.

This showed how rare innate talents were!

……

Zhao Yin made a sudden move. His body glowed all over like a giant violet sun illuminating the world. His magnificent bearing immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“That’s the Violet Sun Body! It’s said that the body blazes like the sun and the aeth power it brings contains terrifying power that could melt mountains and vaporize rivers!”

“Although Zhao Yin is only at the ninth layer True Martial Stage, he is already extraordinary and is at the pinnacle of the True Martial Stage due to the fact that he possesses an innate talent. It will be difficult to defeat him!”

“Lin Xun is brave to provoke Zhao Yin. He has gotten himself in a difficult position. He might be eliminated this time.”

Many students marveled. Zhao Yin’s imposing bearing had astonished them.

Although Lin Xun was ranked first in the war zone assessment, that was only a score and no one knew how strong he really was.

However, everyone thought it was crazy of Lin Xun to want to fight against a top cultivator like Zhao Yin.

The situation had suddenly become very interesting. When Zhao Yin challenged Lin Xun, the other students paused what they were doing and stopped fighting for a stone pillar. They all focused their attention on the battle about to break out on the summit.

Even Bai Lingxi couldn’t continue her meditation. She shifted her bright eyes to Zhao Yin and Lin Xun, seemingly very interested.

Shi Yu frowned. But he was relieved to see that Lin Xun still wore a calm expression like usual and didn’t panic in the slightest.

Maybe he has a trick up his sleeve?

Shi Yu decided to watch first.

Ning Meng looked extremely poor. Zhao Yin had suddenly jumped out and ruined his good plan. He even dragged Lin Xun into the situation!

Ning Meng wouldn’t be able to forgive himself if Zhao Yin defeated Lin Xun and made him unable to enter the Dipper Transformation Lake.

“Be prepared to help and stop the battle. This battle is no doubt going to be extremely fierce. One person will be eliminated between Lin Xun and Zhao Yin and we can’t change anything. We can only see who wins in the end,” Xu Sanqi ordered, his face cold and stern.

The other instructors felt a chill in their hearts. They wouldn’t have attached so much importance to the battle if it was between other students.

Lin Xun and Zhao Yin were both elite students in Blood Kill Camp and no one dared to be careless in the face of the duel between them.

“Zhao Yin is so obnoxious. People like them can pass the assessment smoothly without doing anything yet he had to provoke other people. He is such a bully,” muttered Xiaoman. She had suddenly appeared.

“You can’t say that. This is an assessment. It tests a student’s true strength. As long as it doesn’t violate the rules, no one can say anything,” an instructor objected.

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Xu Sanqi said coldly, “Quietly watch the battle!” While speaking, he shifted his gaze to Lin Xun and Zhao Yin.

The other instructors also knew that a battle was inevitable, so they all calmed down and shifted their gazes that way.

……

Clang!

As a sword cry resounded in the air, a sword appeared in Zhao Yin’s grip.

The sword was an ordinary aeth sword that was two feet and four inches long and three fingers wide. But in Zhao Yin’s hands, it seemed to have transformed into a divine weapon. A violet glow surrounded the sword’s body like it was a beam of violet qi. Clasping the sword tight, Zhao Yin exuded an intimidating and mighty aura.

Zhao Yin’s imposing bearing soared once again!

Many students’ faces paled. It was only an imposing bearing but they couldn’t help but tremble inwardly. Is this the power of the Violet Sun Body?contemporary romance

“I hope you won’t disappoint me,” Zhao Yin uttered coldly, his face filled with arrogance.

Lin Xun smiled, casually drew the Jade Wave Blade and said after a thought, “Why don't we decide the outcome of the battle with one move?”

Everyone was shocked. Lin Xun is crazy. Does he think he could defeat Zhao Yin with one move?

“Why is that guy so rash? Does he really think that he can defeat Zhao Yin in one move?” Even Shi Yu was a little baffled. He couldn’t understand what Lin Xun was thinking. He hadn’t left himself much leeway if the battle was decided in one move!

Many people were equally as confused as Shi Yu. They thought Lin Xun had become crazy to make such a proposal.

Zhao Yin’s eyes were chilling as he said coldly, “Are you sure?”

Lin Xun nodded. “Of course.”

“I didn’t expect you to be this brave. Unfortunately courage isn’t enough. I will give you an unforgettable one move!”

As Zhao Yin inhaled deeply, the violet light around him intensified. It was so dazzling that many people didn’t dare to look at him directly.

“Then come.” Lin Xun smiled faintly, his eyebrows were sharp like blades and his dark eyes were flashing like lightning. An azure glow shrouded his body and made him look ethereal.

The atmosphere suddenly turned oppressive. Invisible murderous spirit surged like the tide and filled every inch of the air.

Everyone felt stifled and their expressions changed uncontrollably like they were being inexplicably oppressed.

The two were just facing each other but there was already such terrifying force. What would happen when the battle began?

The one move would no doubt be an earthshaking blow that would determine the winner in an instant!

Everyone had to keep their eyes wide open and waited with bated breath.

……

Zhao Yin was the first act. Violet qi rose from his body as he made seven swift slashes in the air, which corresponded to seven different directions in the space.

If the seven directions were connected, one would notice that they were the positions of the Big Dipper!

In a split second, seven stars had seemingly emerged, surrounding Zhao Yin in a protective stance. Violet qi burst forth from his body and gathered around the sword in his hand.

Rumble!

Suddenly, everyone felt their souls shaking. It was as though they saw the stars in the Big Dipper protecting a giant violent sun as it came crashing down. Endless violet qi filled the air as though to engulf the world.

The terrifying power was frightening!

“Big Dipper surrounds the sun, violent qi drive from the east!”

Xu Sanqi’s eyes widened as a terrifying lightning flashed across them.

It was the Big Dipper Violet Star Art, an unparalleled art of the imperial family. Once used, it was as though the Big Dipper had descended and a violet sun illuminated the sky. The power released was incomparably terrifying.

Zhao Yin was the great-grandson of Marquis Bowang in the Forbidden City, and Marquis Bowang was an uncle of the current emperor. In other words, Zhao Yin was a member of the imperial family.

It wasn’t surprising that he could practice the Big Dipper Violet Star Art but Xu Sanqi knew that the art was extremely difficult to grasp. Over hundreds of years, very few people of the imperial family had successfully mastered it.

Therefore, it was very astonishing that Zhao Yin was able to perform one of the unique moves of the Big Dipper Violet Star Art.

Most importantly, Zhao Yin was only at the ninth layer True Martial Stage. Even if he couldn’t bring out the full power of the Big Dipper Violet Star art, it was already very unbelievable that he was able to learn it.

Perhaps, this was the most terrifying thing about the innate talent Violet Sun Body.

Many students were stunned by the sight. They felt their minds shaking. Only a few could remain as calm and composed as Xu Sanqi.

For example, Bai Lingxi and Li Duxing. Their pupils shrank and they were a little surprised because they remembered that Zhao Yin had never used this move before during training in Blood Kill Camp.

Does this mean that he has always been hiding his strength?

Can Lin Xun block the attack?

It will be very difficult!

Bai Lingxi felt that he could possibly block the attack but she knew it would be useless if that was all he could do.

Lin Xun would no doubt lose if he couldn’t defeat Zhao Yin in one move!

Clearly, Lin Xun’s chances of winning were very slim.

Everything seemed to be happening very slowly, but in fact, it was the different reactions of different people in a split second. Everything was happening at an incredible speed.

Zhao Yin’s move had drawn everyone’s attention so no one had noticed that Lin Xun also slashed out his blade at the same time.

Buzz!

A peculiar blade cry suddenly rang out.

The blade cry resembled a sigh from the depths of the starry sky. It sounded illusionary like a dream. Everyone just felt their vision blur and before they could react, they saw stars descending from the sky.

They were like comets surrounded in dazzling fire light as they swept across the sky. They were so bright and glaring that they seemed terrifying like they contained power that could wipe out everything. It was as though the apocalypse was descending.

Many people seemed to have fallen into an abyss of terror. They felt despair and helplessness like they couldn’t escape no matter what they did.

“That’s—?!”

Xu Sanqi clenched his fists tight as he stood aghast.

“That…”

Bai Lingxi sprang up, her bright eyes glimmering.

Li Duxing drew a deep breath and seemed to be suppressing his pounding heart.

Many instructors’ expressions rapidly changed.

Time seemed to have frozen.

The seven Big Dipper stars that surrounded Zhao Yin’s body were descending one by one and boundless darkness was engulfing the surging violet qi.

Then, a blade glinted in the darkness, tearing apart the soul-shaking scene. Zhao Yin’s violet sun body seemed to have lost all its brilliance and was rapidly dimming.

The blade was called Star-Gather.
