The Prodigies War

This was mocking directed at Lin Xun!

Everyone knew that, but Toady and A’lu were surprisingly not angry and instead smiled and became high-spirited.

Lin Xun knew that was a bad sign because neither Toady nor A’lu were pushovers!

One was narcissistic and arrogant, and the other was an expert in attacking people using words and angering people. If he hadn’t controlled them along the way, then the two would have caused countless troubles already.

“Be careful and don’t cause trouble.” Lin Xun sent a voice transmission to the two as he shot a warning glance at them.

The two suddenly lost their spirit.

“I’m glad you are self-aware.” The man who mocked him smiled and nodded.

Someone remarked, “Ordinary people are not qualified to associate with those on the mountaintop. They are all fierce characters of the Little Giants-level and on a completely different level than you.”

“Some of us have also participated in the Little Giants List Competition, but we still can only watch from afar. Those that are too weak can’t even climb the Immortal Sacred Mountain.”

Many people nearby spoke one after another, and their words all contained a sense of pridefulness, but also awe and envy for those on the mountaintop.

A’lu couldn’t help stand it any more and scoffed, “Did you guys also participate in the Little Giants List Competition? Sorry I didn’t recognize you.” He made no attempt to disguise his contempt nor did he look apologetic. It was blatant ridicule and disrespect.

“Barbarian, I advise you guys to go back down the mountain. Everyone attending this gathering is a talented genius figure.” Someone scrunched their face with disgust and contempt as though ashamed to be associated with them.

Even Lin Xun snorted and shook his head. He had no energy to argue with them—a bunch of ignorant people.

“Leave, you’re not welcome here!” someone scolded.

Toady turned to ask Lin Xun, looking puzzled. “Who is lying? Since they have participated in the Little Giants List Competition then why don’t they recognize you?”

Lin Xun shrugged.

A’lu grinned. “It’s very simple. These people are lying about their strengths and never participated in the Little Giants List Competition. They are deliberately lying to make themselves look good.”

Many cultivators' faces twitched.

“Why are you still here?!” someone roared.

The commotion caught the attention of cultivators in other areas of the mountainside. Some people on the mountaintop also looked this way.

“Hey, it’s…”

Some people’s faces went wide with surprise when they spotted Lin Xun.

At the same time, Qi Chongdou sprang up and called out in surprise, “You are…”

Qi Chongdou was a supreme figure of the younger generation and also one of the top ten figures on the Little Giants List. Naturally, his surprised cry alarmed many other cultivators on the mountaintop.

Then, when they all clearly saw Lin Xun, they simultaneously stood up in shock!

“Demon God Lin!”

“He also came!”

Many figures stared blankly at Demon God Lin. They did not expect to see him appear after two months of silence.

“Brother Lin has graced us with his presence, but we failed to welcome him.” Qi Chongdou hurried down to the mountainside.

“Brother Lin, please go ahead!”

Others also bowed and cupped one fist in the other.

Demon God Lin!

The cultivators on the mountainside dropped their jaws. That youngster is actually Lin Xun who recently soared to fame!

The people who mocked and criticized Lin Xun went stiff, their expressions alternating between shock and fear. They never thought that the person they despised and tried to drive away to be such a terrifying being.

Lin Xun was not necessarily friends with anyone on the mountaintop. This wasn’t because he was too weak, but that he was too strong!

Similarly, not everyone knew Lin Xun.

“Heavens! That’s Demon God Lin! He’s number one on the Little Giant’s List!”

“Not long ago, he subdued Chu Zhongtian and almost took his life!”

Uproars broke out all over the area, and all eyes shifted onto Lin Xun.

Many also gasped when they saw A’lu, who looked like a barbarian, was treated with respect by Qi Chongdou.

Birds of a feather flocked together. Anyone who traveled with Demon God Lin had to be extraordinary!

“Brother Lin Xun, Brother A’lu, and this fellow cultivator, please come onto the platform to talk.” Qi Chongdou beckoned.

“Thank you.” Lin Xun smiled and gave a cupped first salute. He had no intention of embarrassing those who previously mocked him.

Toady and A’lu also ignored them, which surprised Lin Xun a little.

When did those two become so forgiving?

“They’re just frogs at the bottom of the well, why bother with them? It will be an insult to our status!” Toady smiled proudly.

“You’re right.” A’lu nodded with understanding.

Lin Xun sighed to himself. These two troublemakers are already looking down on ordinary characters. Even if they want to cause trouble, they need to choose specific targets!

It seems those people are not qualified as their targets.

It was another world on the mountaintop. The platform was grand and vast with mist swirling around it and stunning waterfalls cascading down like snow dragons. The powerful sound of rushing water was much like the rumble of thunder.

Dozens of cultivators were sat cross-legged, both men and women, all of whom had set foot onto the Supreme Path.

Lin Xun noticed many familiar faces. They were all dazzling figures who had ranked in the top thirty-six of the Little Giants List.

However, the arrival of Lin Xun immediately became the focus of attention.

It was understandable. As the number one figure on the Little Giants List, no other person present could compare to him!

“I heard that this gathering was initiated by cultivator Mi Hengzhen of your sect, why don’t I see him around?” asked Lin Xun.

Qi Chongdou pondered for a moment before he answered without concealing anything, ”Fellow Cultivator Lin, you might not know but just two hours ago, Senior Brother Mi received a letter of challenge. He is likely in a duel right now.”

Everyone was taken aback. They clearly were also not aware of this.

“He’s in a duel? With who?” Lin Xun asked with interest.

He had long heard about Mi Hengzhen. He was an outstanding figure among the absolute apex giants, and he had made a name for himself many years ago. Currently, he was regarded as the leader of the younger generation of the Moon Sun Sacred Palace.

He was one of the strongest among the supreme figures yet someone still dared to challenge him. How would Lin Xun not be curious about the challenger?

“He is an ancient-era eccentric genius called Bai Longting. He has been silent for eight thousand years and is a descendant of the White Flood-Dragon Clan. He is also known as the Sixth Prince.”

Qi Chongdou’s expression grew solemn. “He is terrifying. He only appeared half a month ago, but more than ten supreme figures have already been defeated at his hands.”

A tense atmosphere suddenly filled the space while everyone’s expression changed subtly. They all knew about the terror of Bai Longting.

“Then, is Fellow Cultivator Mi Hengzhen confident of winning?” asked Lin Xun.

Qi Chongdou smiled bitterly. “Senior Brother Mi said that he only agreed to the challenge because he wasn’t absolutely confident. If someone else had challenged him, I doubt he would have bothered.”

Lin Xun nodded. Bai Longting had to be an incredibly powerful character if Mi Hengzhen thought so highly of him.

“Did you say the White Flood-Dragon Clan?” Toady asked aloud.

Everyone turned to look at him, thinking that he knew something.

Who would have thought that he cackled out loud and shook his head. “I have heard of the True Dragon, Horned Dragon, Flying Dragon, Snake Dragon and others, but I have never heard of the White Flood Dragon Clan. Even if it is a sub clan of the legendary dragon, it likely is nothing special.”

Everyone stared at him for a while, speechless. The young man in green is quite arrogant.

If he wasn’t sitting next to Lin Xun, then someone would have rebuked him already.

“Are ancient-era eccentric geniuses that amazing?” Lin Xun asked. He wanted to hear the opinions and views of the supreme geniuses.

“To be honest, Brother Lin, those who can be regarded as an ancient-era eccentric genius have to at least be a top absolute apex giant so they indeed possess ridiculously powerful strengths. For example, Chu Zhongtian has also been in closed-door cultivation for a period of time, but he is still only considered a genius and not qualified to be called an ancient-era eccentric genius.”

Qi Chongdou patiently explained, “We have a theory that to be considered an ancient-era eccentric genius, one has to at least have passed the entry and intermediate stages of the supreme path and have reached the pinnacle stage!”

Understanding dawned on Lin Xun’s face. He also walked this path so he also knew how powerful supreme characters were once they reached the pinnacle stage.

“Brother Lin, during your period of closed-door cultivation, many ancient-era eccentric geniuses wanted to challenge you,” someone shouted out.

“Yes, some even clamored to capture you and make you their slave. They were extremely arrogant!” someone fumed.

Lin Xun smiled. “Just some dogs barking. No need to mind.”

The area went silent and everyone stared at him, speechless. His words are fierce. He regards ancient-era eccentric geniuses as dogs!

In the world, only Demon God Lin would dare say something like that out loud.

Everyone knew that, in addition to his heaven-defying strength, Lin Xun was known for his unbridled courage. He dared to do things that no one did!

“Brother Lin, please be careful with your words, ancient-era eccentric geniuses are very likely to come here and those who come definitely won’t come with good intentions!” Qi Chongdou sighed.

The gathering had already caused great reactions and captured the attention of many cultivators.

For example, two hours ago, while Mi Hengzhen was greeting fellow cultivators who came to the gathering, he received a letter of challenge from Bai Longting, and he had no choice but to accept it.

“What’s there to be afraid of? I’m looking forward to seeing a few ancient-era eccentric geniuses pop up,” Toady stated, smiling conceitedly and arrogantly.

Everyone was speechless for a while. Who is that guy? He is too crazy. Even if he can’t stand the ancient-era eccentric geniuses, there are some things he can’t say out loud. Otherwise, it could bring trouble.

At this moment, a wave of commotion and restlessness swept the foot of the mountain. Then, a cold and indifferent voice sounded.

“What kind of gathering is this? I thought it would be impressive, but it turns out to be just a gathering of nobodies. How disappointing!” The words echoed like thunder, stinging the ears of everyone far and near.

No way, has an ancient-era eccentric genius really come looking for trouble?

Startled, everyone stood up and looked down at the mountain.
