The Prodigies War

Chapter 203 Shocking Everyone

It was the first day of registration for the provincial exam. Although it was not yet time to register, the white jade plaza outside Haze Academy was already filled with numerous figures.

When the battle began, it instantly caused a commotion that drew everyone’s attention. No one had expected someone would start a fight there and then!

However, they soon witnessed the Yuan Clan’s First Young Master, Yuan Shi, being completely dominated without being able to put up any resistance. This shocked everyone and caused a huge uproar.contemporary romance

Numerous people tried to guess who the other party was and why his battle power was so overwhelming.

However, it was at this moment that a young man dressed in silver robes attacked with a silver spear, drawing the crowd’s attention again. He was quickly identified to be Qi Yunxiao. It was like another wave rising again after the first had fallen.

……

Swish!

Dazzling light rushed around Qi Yunxiao’s body as he brandished his spear, giving off a fierce and threatening aura.

He wasted no time on the usual pre-fight banter. With a jerk of his wrist, the silver spear jabbed repeatedly and shot out streams of gorgeous light. They arced through the air and rained down upon Lin Xun.

Spear Flurry Art―Fire Tree Silver Flower!

Thousands of spears filled the sky in an instant as silver light blossomed like fireworks. It was a beautiful sight that was filled with endless killing intent.

Several people could not help but gasp in amazement. Qi Yunxiao’s attack had fully displayed the elegance and power of a first-class Human Dipper expert!

It must be noted that Qi Yunxiao was only sixteen this year. The fact that he had such mastery at his age put him far above many of his peers.

Boom!

On the other side, Lin Xun also began to move.

He didn’t take any evasive maneuvers. Instead, he dashed forward and threw the same simple punch.

However, Lin Xun was now using his true power. The Storm Grinder in his body rumbled as pure and terrifying dipper power burned like a sea of fire, flaring to its maximum output.

Clear glass-like sky-blue light covered his fist, giving off an ungraspable, compact, and unstoppable aura!

The punch smashed through the air, shattering all of the spears in its path!

With unstoppable power, the fist-winds shattered several thousand more silver spears as they headed straight for Qi Yunxiao.

A long, empty path was left by the power of the punch as it deafeningly whistled through the air.

Everyone’s hearts began to shiver in shock and horror. What kind of fist art is this?

“So powerful!”

Qi Yunxiao’s expression abruptly changed as he dodged to the side, avoiding the fist-winds. At the same time, his silver spear thrust forward again, howling loudly as it attacked once more.

Spear Flurry Art―Prairie Fire!

With a loud rumble, the silver spear descended like a streak of silver from the heavens as it pulsed with frightening power.

Boom!

Lin Xun’s foot slammed into the ground, sending his figure soaring upwards. This time, he reached out and grabbed at the silver spear!

Crack!

The air was torn apart and shredded like cloth as an illusory giant sky-blue hand seemed to reach out from deep within the clouds like a dragon claw. It instantly grabbed the silver spear and crushed it!

Rumble!

All Qi Yunxiao could feel was berserk stormy-sea-like power ferociously flooding into his body through the spear, causing him to spasm violently as endless intense pain assaulted his senses. He coughed blood and shrieked in pain as his body was smashed into the ground.

Dust filled the air as Qi Yunxiao lay there with his face twisted in pain, feeling as if all of his bones had been broken.

Gasps sounded all around. The attack was too swift and ferocious and had easily subdued Qi Yunxiao!

In the distance, Wen Mingxiu’s expression could not help but change as her heart trembled. Lin Xun’s strength had completely surpassed her estimation.

She was unable to fathom how strong Lin Xun had grown after a year of training in Blood Kill Camp.

The expressions of the youths around her also changed, now filled with shock, doubt, horror, and confusion.

Yuan Shi’s one-sided defeat had already made them realize that Lin Xun was strong but they had still believed that Qi Yunxiao would be able to get back some of their dignity. Who could have imagined that he would also be subdued after only two attacks?!

This was too frightening!

“Nooo!”

Qi Yunxiao roared as he struggled to get up. He felt as if he was about to go crazy from the humiliation of being publicly beaten to the ground after only two moves.

He was the Young Master of Jadelight Pavilion and a well-known genius in Haze City. Since when had he ever suffered such shame?

Before he could rise, he heard a thud as Lin Xun stepped on Qi Yunxiao’s body, causing his face to have another intimate exchange with the ground.

“You’re asking for death!”

Qi Yunxiao angrily howled with a distorted expression.

Numerous youths who were friends with Qi Yunxiao were also enraged. This bastard is too arrogant. He should be killed!

“You were the one who jumped out to fight but now you’re threatening others after being defeated. Didn’t your parents teach you basic manners? Trash.”

Lin Xun’s face was filled with disdain.

A girl shrieked, “You’re even scolding him?”

Lin Xun lifted his head, looked at the girl, and suddenly displayed a faint smile, “Sorry, you might have misunderstood. I’m not scolding him but all of you…”

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the crowd around Wen Mingxiu. When he was done, he said, “All of you are trash!”

The watching cultivators on the plaza were immediately dumbstruck when they heard this.

This fellow was so arrogant he had scolded everyone from Wen Mingxiu’s group. Was he not afraid of revenge?

Wen Mingxiu and the others were stunned, unable to believe what they had just heard. This person…called all of them trash!?

Several people’s faces had already turned white with rage as their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

Arrogant!

He’s way too arrogant!

Before they could respond, Lin Xun kicked Qi Yunxiao aside and began walking toward Wen Mingxiu.

His posture was straight, his brows were shaped like blades, and his black eyes seemed to flash like lightning. Although he wore plain clothes, he seemed to give off an oppressive and overbearing pressure.

Crushing Yuan Shi and then Qi Yunxiao in succession had already proved how terrifying Lin Xun’s battle power was. As such, many could not help but feel alarmed at the sight of him advancing toward Wen Mingxiu and the others.

Does he still want to fight?

“What are you doing!?”

“This bastard is too much. He’s clearly looking down on us!”

Stern shouts rang out from beside Wen Mingxiu. Although they were loud and sounded confident, a slight hint of cowardice could be felt.

Lin Xun’s gaze remained steady and ignored them as if they were not worth any attention. This made the usually proud young men and women furious as their expressions darkened.

In the end, Lin Xun stopped ten feet in front of Wen Mingxiu. His deep eyes stared at her pale and panicked face and he said, “I can let bygones be bygones since you and I were from the same place back then and there was no real grudge between us. But after what happened today, I suddenly want to ask you something: are you really choosing to be my enemy?”

His voice was completely calm and composed.

Although the events that had transpired today might seem baffling, Lin Xun knew everything had started with Wen Mingxiu.

He originally felt no hostility towards this girl but he had no choice but to rethink this stance now.

The nearby crowd was shocked by this turn of events, unable to understand the relationship between these two.

From the same place?

However, his words were filled with hostility and made it sound like they were enemies.

This was no ordinary relationship.

Wen Mingxiu’s expression rapidly changed as her chest heaved in uncertainty. She recalled the humiliation she felt when she lost to Lin Xun in Kill Blood Camp and the scenes of him defeating Yuan Shi and Qi Yunxiao.

She was certain that she was not Lin Xun’s match. Not now and not ever!

The others might not truly understand the depth of Lin Xun’s strength but Wen Mingxiu knew that a student who could survive against all odds in Blood Kill Camp without being eliminated was not someone any ordinary expert could hope to compare to!

However, it was also impossible for her to admit defeat. Haze City was her territory and there were so many cultivators present. How could she possibly bow her head here as a descendent of the Wen Clan and the famous girl genius of Haze City?

“You’d better think about it. My patience has always been pretty good.”

Lin Xun seemed to read Wen Mingxiu’s thoughts. “However, if I find that you decided to become my enemy in the future, I will not hold back like today.”

Numerous youths cursed and scolded, “Arrogant! How dare you threaten Miss Mingxiu. You’re basically asking to die!”

Lin Xun ignored them and turned to leave after leaving these words behind. No one dared to stop him from start to end.

This was the power of deterrence. After defeating Yuan Shi and Qi Yunxiao, anyone who wanted to make an enemy out of Lin Xun would have to first see if they had sufficient qualifications.

Wen Mingxiu did not say a single word. Her mind was a mess, filled with worry, anger, sullenness, and fear.

Use the clan’s power to kill Lin Xun?

The thought was immediately shot down the moment it flashed in her head. Strictly speaking, Lin Xun was a true student of Blood Kill Camp. The instructors of Blood Kill Camp would never let it go if he was killed.

In addition, Wen Mingxiu knew that if the operation to kill Lin Xun failed by some chance, he would definitely become a nightmare for the Wen Clan given the terrifying potential he displayed in Blood Kill Camp.

One of the young men confidently slapped his chest and said, “Miss Mingxiu, there’s no need for you to worry. Let him do what he wants for now. I will find someone to teach him a lesson after leaving Haze Academy!”

“That’s right. Haze City is our home ground. How can we allow a bastard of unknown origins to act as he pleases?”

“It’s not convenient to take action now with so many people watching. We’ll settle the debt with him at a later date!”

“Damnit, since when did a country-bumpkin dare to bully us?”

The other youths also spoke up and ground their teeth in anger.

Loathing rose within Wen Mingxiu.

These people were so afraid earlier but are now acting so arrogant. They might have impressive capabilities compared to other normal cultivators, however, they are indeed all useless trash compared to Lin Xun!
