The Prodigies War

Lin Xun had a somewhat surprised expression when he awakened from his meditation.

With a flip of his palm, the Nameless Pagoda appeared.

Rumble!

With a muffled, thunder-like rumble, golden light rose from it like steam and soared into the sky.

The loudly snoring A'lu was immediately frightened out of his sleep. He climbed to his feet, hoisted his giant metal club, and yelled, "Damnit, who the hell is it?"

At this moment, the dazzling golden light converged into a figure who proudly stood in the air with his hands behind his back.

He lifted his head to gaze at the sky and said, "I am the king of ten thousand nations in the ancient era.

“I am the sole ruler of the eight barrens and six directions.

Today, I’ve awakened right before the great age and I dare to compete with all the heaven prides of the era!"

A low, magnetic voice drifted between heaven and earth. The smoke-like golden light receded, revealing the figure’s appearance.

Dressed in a green robe, he had fair skin, an extremely handsome face, and a pair of golden pupils. He stood in the air with his hands behind his back as he gazed at the sky while a bewitching and proud smile hung from the corners of his lips.

A'lu's jaw dropped. Who was this immortal?

On the other hand, the corners of Lin Xun's mouth twitched. Since they last met a few years ago, this guy had become increasingly flashy, narcissistic, and shameless.

It was naturally Toady, a descendant of the three-legged golden toad lineage, whose real name was Jin Duyi.

Toady turned his head, displayed a dignified expression, and reprimanded, ''Little Lin, why aren’t you kowtowing at the sight of this king?"

A'lu gasped loudly. Who the hell was this guy? To think that he dared to call his big bro Little Lin!

Lin Xun revealed a fake smile, "Kowtow?"

Toady replied in a displeased manner, "Fool! Little Lin, do you think this king is the same as before? There’s no harm in telling you that I’ve awakened my bloodline talent and mastered a unique secret art. Now that I’ve reemerged, I’m destined to step over all the heaven prides of this era and ascend to the Supreme King stage!"

At this point, he looked down at Lin Xun from above and arrogantly said, ''So you'd better hurry up and kowtow. Who knows, I might decide to bestow you some blessings based on our past relations that will bring you endless benefits!"

A'lu was dumbfounded. What an arrogant guy.

However, Lin Xun smiled faintly and asked, ''Are you sure you want to do this?"

Toady disdainfully looked at Lin Xun and said, "This king is not joking around with you!"

Pah!

Lin Xun struck as soon as the words sounded. He smacked Toady on the back of the head, causing him to stumble. He was immediately enraged and roared, "Little Lin, you dare..."

Pah!

Lin Xun struck again like lightning and smacked the back of Toady’s head. ''Little Lin?"

"You’re disrespecting a king!"

Toady was furious. Golden light rose from him and terrifying flames shot out each time he opened and closed his eyes as if there was a sea of fire within them.

His presence immediately became extremely frightening!

"Disrespecting a king?"

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow.

Toady had indeed become extremely powerful and was incomparable to the past. However, he was still unable to stop Lin Xun’s hand and was smacked once again, causing him to nearly trip and fall.

"What the hell, how is it possible that you became so strong?"

Toady panicked. There was no longer any sign of his previous arrogance as he angrily grabbed the back of his head to protect himself.

Upon seeing Lin Xun raise his hand again, Toady hurriedly shrieked and crossed his arms in front of him. "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. Aren’t we brothers who have gone through thick and thin together?"

Lin Xun icily chuckled, ''You just remembered?"

He slapped the back of Toady’s head again.

Toady was almost in tears. While he was in secluded-cultivation, he successfully awakened his bloodline talent which caused his cultivation to undergo a tremendous transformation, making him vastly different from before.

He originally thought that after leaving his secluded-cultivation, he would be able to look down upon everyone and easily steamroll over his peers. Who could have expected that a mere Lin Xun could already beat him so one-sidedly?

Lin Xun asked, "Who's Little Lin? "

Toady’s expression fluctuated indeterminately, seemingly unable to accept the cruel reality of being beaten by Lin Xun.

However, when he saw Lin Xun raise his hand again, Toady immediately shouted, ''There's only Little Jin in this world and no Little Lin."

Little Jin?

Lin Xun was stunned for a moment before abruptly returning to his senses. Wasn’t Toady called Jin Duyi?

However, it felt so disgusting when he called himself Little Jin...

Lin Xun asked again, "So do I still need to kowtow?"

Toady hastily shook his head and awkwardly said, "I was kidding; it was a joke."

On the inside, however, he was feeling miserable and sullen. After several years of inactivity, he had thought that he would be able to do as he pleased once he got out and arrogantly lord over Lin Xun. Who could have expected that such an outcome would await him instead?

How miserable!

He inwardly wailed.

Lin Xun grunted in acknowledgment and continued to ask, ''So am I disrespecting a king?"

Toady nearly crumbled internally as he hurriedly said, ''I'll call you Big Bro, alright? Please don’t bully me any further!"

"Hahaha, I thought that you were some formidable expert, but it turns out that you’re just a fancy-looking good-for-nothing...damnit, I almost got tricked."

A'lu laughed uncontrollably, displaying utter disdain toward Toady.

The sight of a barbarian-like fellow mocking him immediately triggered Toady. He frostily said, "Peasant, who gave you the courage to mock this king? You’d better believe that I can give you the death penalty!"

A'lu grinned and retorted, "I don’t."

"You..." Toady was livid. Never mind if he was beaten by Lin Xun, but now even a barbarian dared to provoke him. This could not be tolerated!

Rumble!

He abruptly stepped forward and grabbed at the air. Golden rays of light appeared and revolved, displaying an astonishing scene of the sun and moon being swallowed and the stars rapidly shifting.

Toady’s presence instantly became extremely terrifying!

Eh!

Lin Xun was amazed. With a wave of his sleeve, he scattered the Star Chess Sea restriction power to avoid accidentally injuring Toady.

Meanwhile, A'lu laughed loudly and attacked Toady.

Boom!

The two parties collided, generating a dreadful rumbling noise that shook the surroundings.

Toady shone radiantly as he activated an astonishing dao art. Each strike was fierce, overbearing, and gave off an overwhelming illusion of swallowing the sun and moon.

In the beginning, A'lu was caught by surprise and ended up being suppressed.

However, this only enraged him. ''You good-for-nothing. Do you think I’m afraid of you?"

Rumble!

A'lu suddenly became akin to a majestic mountain as his blood and qi boiled like an angry ocean, making him resemble a barbarian god. When he swung his fist, the surrounding space seemed to shriek in agony as if unable to withstand such a strong physical force.

"Oh, I didn't realize that you’re a formidable individual who is seeking the Saint stage through the physical body. If this king isn’t mistaken, you are practicing the 'Emperor Extreme World-Subduing Art,' am I right?"

Toady was astonished and in disbelief. ''What’s your relation to the ancient era Divine Elephant Martial Emperor lineage?"

"Cut the crap, are all descendants of your Golden Toad lineage gossipy girls? Why are you so chatty!?"

A'lu roared as he stormed into the sky. The pores on his skin expanded as divine elephant phantasms emerged one after another. He was using his body as a prison to set foot into outer space and suppress the entire world!

If heaven and earth had expressions, they would change at the sight of such almighty power.

"Gossipy girl? I’ll beat you to death, you peasant!"

Toady screeched as if he had been poked in a sore spot and maniacally charged at A’lu.

The two fought under the starry sky, sending out torrential bursts of light and stirring up the wind and clouds as they staged a battle that would shock everyone in the world.

Lin Xun didn’t stop them. Instead, he marveled at the battle.

He could already tell that Toady had undergone a tremendous transformation and now stood on the supreme path Cyclic Derivation stage!

It was astonishing, to say the least.

It must be known that Toady’s combat power had been extremely weak in the Return Dominion. He had even mentioned that it would be difficult for him to display any combat ability without first awakening his bloodline talent.

However, he was completely different now. The changes were so great that he had even ascended the supreme path in one fell swoop. It was a change that would shock the entire world if known.

Moreover, the dao art he wielded was also exceedingly terrifying. It gave off the illusion of shifting the stars and swallowing the sun and moon, boasting unfathomable power that incited endless terror.

This was evident in how he was able to fight A’lu without falling into a disadvantage.

One must know that A'lu was one of the top ten little giants of the Little Giants List!

Moreover, he was only nineteen years old, orig
