The Prodigies War

“The three thousand realms represent the three thousand areas in the Realm of the Supreme!

“Every area holds different fortunes!

“But only those who can make it into the top ten in each area are qualified to enter the Upper Ninth Realm. Did you know this?” Toady rattled off.

To wipe away the insult and humiliation and to curb Lin Xun’s and A’lu’s contemptuous attitude, he no longer tried to be secretive and told everything he knew.

“Only those who enter the Upper Ninth Realm have the chance to join the Genius Gold Rankings. Did you know this?

“I’m sure you didn’t. Then let me tell you that it is only in the Upper Ninth Realm that you will find those sealed heaven-defying fortunes. Did you know?

“I’m sure you didn’t. Then did you know that the Upper Ninth Realm is also called the Land of Supreme Blood Training? Do you know how dangerous it is there?

“Bet you didn’t know that either. Look at your ignorant faces. What’s the difference between the two of you and the frogs in the bottom of a well?”

Toady became more and more worked up as he spoke.

Lin Xun and A’lu both kept silent. Although Toady’s tone of voice was a little arrogant, everything he said had real substance.

“Ignorance is not a problem, but the problem is that you don’t know how ignorant you are!” Toady almost sputtered saliva over their faces, looking incredibly smug.

“Brother, what do you think?” A’lu was a little intimidated by Toady’s knowledge.

Lin Xun’s answer was simple and direct. He slapped Toady on the back of the head and reprimanded, “Since you know so much, why didn’t you tell me before? If you had told me earlier, would we have treated you like that?”

Toady staggered, clutching his head. He was so angry that his forehead darkened and creased. “Do you think you can hit people just because you are ignorant?”

But when he saw the menacing look on Lin Xun’s face, he quickly changed the subject, “Okay, okay, I promise to guide you like a beacon of light when we get to the Supreme Realm, okay?”

A’lu chuckled. “You are just guiding the way, don’t exaggerate that you are a beacon of light. Will you die if you don’t boast about yourself for a second?”

“I’m going to kill you barbarian!” Toady howled in anger and pounced at A’lu.

The two broke into a fight once again.

Lin Xun secretly decided that he needed to do something about Toady when he had the time. That guy clearly knows a lot and is hiding many secrets, but he always keeps them hidden and is never honest with us.

“I wonder if Jingxuan will agree to travel with us...” Suddenly, Lin Xun thought of Zhao Jingxuan who was far away in the Spirit Treasure Holy Land and fell into deep thought.

……

The frosty moon hung in the starry sky like a hook.

The ground had been split with multiple ravines in a criss-cross fashion. Sword qi whistled between heaven and earth, creating a solemn and somber atmosphere in the night.

Caw!

A crow fluttered its wings and came from the distance.

However, the moment it came close to this side of the world, a wisp of remnant sword qi in the air crushed it into a cloud of blood-colored mist with a pop.

On the ground, Shi Zhentong was trembling as if he was exhausting all his strength to just barely lift his head.

When he looked at the snow-white-clothed figure not far away, he could not hide the look of fear and bewilderment on his face.

That person, how can he be so strong?

Shi Zhentong was an ancient-era eccentric genius of the Lion Camel Clan. Despite being born into the world not long ago, he had already defeated nineteen top figures of his generation over the past three days and thereby made himself a name.

He was extremely talented and possessed infinite strength. He practiced the Moving Mountain Scripture of the Lion Camel Clan and was a well-known ruthless character among the ancient-era eccentric geniuses.

But today, he was defeated.

He was defeated in three sword strikes.

In other words, he failed to block three sword strikes and was utterly suppressed.

He was left with three deep sword wounds.

One was straight across his chest from the neck to the navel and was still dripping with blood.

One was a one-inch deep slash in his back.

The worst had to be the sword wound right across his throat. It was also one inch deep, but if it had gone any deeper, it would have taken his life!

The injuries seemed not too bad, but they were an extremely heavy blow to Shi Zhentong. He almost broke down.

This was because he knew that his opponent could have killed him in one sword strike if he wanted to!

This fact filled him with fear and bewilderment.

As an ancient-era eccentric genius, he had never imagined that his opponent would be so terrifyingly strong!

“I lost.” Shi Zhitong groaned. His confidence had suffered a heavy blow, and his fighting spirit plummeted. The tragic defeat had cast an unerasable cloud of gloom over his heart!

He staggered to his feet and wobbled towards the distance. His figure looked melancholic, and his eyes were lifeless. How is Yun Qingbai so terrifying?

If other cultivators saw him, then they would never associate him with the ancient-era eccentric genius who recently became known for his outstanding strength.

The cold moon curved like a bowstring, sharp as a hook, casting dreary light over the landscape.

Watching the other party leave, Yun Qingbai sighed as if he was unsatisfied or found the battle a little boring.

He raised his hand and an ancient sword flashed out of his grip.

A handsome little sword servant boy with red lips and pearly white teeth appeared, catching the ancient sword with both hands and then carefully storing it in the sword box on his back.

Then, the sword boy exclaimed, “Congratulations, young master, on your victory. Today, you crushed an ancient-era eccentric genius with overwhelming strength and became the first genius to defeat an ancient-era eccentric genius!” His clear and pleasant voice was filled with admiration and respect.

“Don’t say something like that again in the future. There is nothing to celebrate about defeating a weak opponent.”

Yun Qingbai’s voice was indifferent and calm. He put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked away, his white robe fluttering in the breeze.

The glow of admiration in the sword servant’s eyes deepened. No wonder they say that true masters are lonely. Young Master is already at the pinnacle and only very few in this world can match up to him!

A master and a servant appeared in a city early in the morning.

“Who is the next opponent?” asked Yun Qingbai.

“An ancient-era eccentric genius from the Flying Cloud Sword Sect called...”

Yun Qingbai interrupted before the sword servant finished, “That’s all I need to know. Tell me where he is now.”

“Jade Dragon Canyon.” the sword boy quickly reported.

Yun Qingbai nodded. He had been in closed-door cultivation for ten years and had been silent for ten years.

Now that he reappeared in the world, many cultivators believe that he was no longer the invincible being under the king stage like he was ten years ago.

Some even thought that he was no match for some ancient-era eccentric geniuses!

Yun Qingbai did not refute them, but directly showed up in the world and chose a few ancient-era eccentric geniuses to test his sword.

Before they knew it, the two had come to the center of the city, where a news tree was standing proudly. Although it was early in the morning, the area was already crowded with cultivators.

“As I thought, there is shocking news! As soon as Demon God Lin appeared, he overpowered Jin Xiaoming and forced him to flee in a panic. This is satisfying to hear!”

“Jin Xiaoming is a famous ancient-era eccentric genius, but he failed to even protect his doppelganger from being cooked down into snake stew. How tragic.”

“Who would have imagined that the first person to suppress an ancient-era eccentric genius would be Demon God Lin?”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Yun Qingbai stopped his footsteps and shifted his gaze onto the news tree.

The latest news was being broadcast, namely, Lin Xun defeating Jin Xiaoming at the Thousand Streams Meeting.

“Annoying!” The sword servant fumed.

In his opinion, Yun Qingbai was the first to suppress an ancient-era eccentric genius, but it turned out that he was beaten by Demon God Lin and had his limelight stolen. He couldn’t accept that.

Yun Qingbai suddenly said aloud, “Do you remember what I said?”

The sword servant boy was taken aback for a moment before it struck him and he nodded. “Yes, Young Master once said that, no matter who Lin Xun is, you will take his life to wash away the insult the sect has suffered.”

Yun Qingbai nodded. “Now that he has appeared, please help me keep an eye on his whereabouts.”

The sword servant became spirited as he realized that his young master planned to eliminate Lin Xun!

“Yuan Zuweng, that guy finally showed up!” an ice-cold voice sounded.

Yun Qingbai raised his eyes and saw that the person who spoke was a young man in a brocade robe. He was outstandingly handsome with dazzling star-like eyes and eyebrows as sharp as a sword. He stood out from the crowd right away.

However, the youngster’s eyes were flashing with murderous intent, and he exuded a violent and menacing aura. The others might not notice anything, but Yun Qingbai could tell right away that the youngster was extraordinary!

“What are you looking at?!” The youngster in a brocade robe turned his head and swept his eyes that were brighter than the glint of an unrivaled blade over Yun Qingbai like he wanted to tear him apart.

The sword boy’s face darkened. When has anyone in the world ever talked to my young master in that tone? He must have a death wish!”

But before the sword boy could say anything, Yun Qingbai retracted his gaze and said aloud, “Let’s go.”

The sword boy looked perplexed as if he couldn’t believe his young master would hold back.

But he didn’t dare to ask further and just took another look at the youngster in a brocade robe, remembering his face, and then left with Yun Qingbai.

The brocade-robed youngster snorted coldly.

An ape in a green robe appeared next to him and spoke in a gravelly voice, “Young Master, if you encounter that man in white in the Realm of Supreme, you should retreat if you can. If you decide to become his enemy, then you must go all out and not hold back.”

“Why?” The youngster frowned.

“That boy has already established himself in the pinnacle of the supreme path. He is like a concealed sword and is of great threat.” A light flashed in the depths of the old ape’s eyes. “He left because he noticed my presence and not because he is afraid of fighting.”

The young man in a brocade robe scrunched his brows, his expression changing indefinitely. It took him a long time to regain his composure. He turned to look at the news tree in the distance and said, “Let’s not talk about him. Yuan Zuweng, you also saw that the guy called Lin Xun has appeared!”

The old ape nodded and sighed, “Back when I was on the Five Elements Holy Island, I already knew that boy was extraordinary, but I never imagined that he had achieved so much already on the Supreme Path.”

The young man frowned, looking displeased. “Yuan Zuweng, back then he broke into my training area with other people and stole the ultimate art of our sect! We should immediately eliminate a thief like him, why would you still praise him?”
