The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 178 Revenge Comes

Ning Meng’s embarrassing appearance didn’t draw much ridicule because of Zhangsun Hen’s defeat.

On the contrary, many students’ eyes lit up when they saw him collapse on his buttocks from exhaustion on the stone pillar. They were eager to act because they still hadn’t grabbed a stone pillar.

It was no doubt the best time to attack to snatch a stone pillar!

They weren’t the only ones who noticed this. Lin Xun and other students who had already occupied a stone pillar also saw it.

Simply speaking, although Ning Meng had successfully occupied a stone pillar after a fierce battle, his situation was more dangerous than before.

This was part of the assessment. Students could continue to challenge one another and attempt to take their stone pillar before the one-hour assessment time was over.

That scene was enough to show the danger behind the seemingly simple assessment.

Just when some students were anxious to act, Ning Meng suddenly said aloud, “Lin Xun, I can’t fight anymore. As my friend, you wouldn’t want to see me eliminated, right? Since that’s the case, I leave the rest to you!”

Everyone was dumbstruck. He’s asking for help?

Even Lin Xun was taken aback. When did he become so shameless?

“I…”

Before Lin Xun could say anything, Ning Meng interrupted, “It’s decided. Given your strength, you can grab a stone pillar at any time, isn’t that right?”

Many students without a stone pillar were a little baffled. If they wanted to take Ning Meng's stone pillar, they would have to face Lin Xun first.

Who was Lin Xun?

He placed first in the quarterly assessment and the first in the war zone assessment. Perhaps, some people had underestimated him in the past but who would dare to do so now?

“However, I’m worried that I won’t be able to take care of you by myself. What should I do if two people challenge both you and I at the same time?”

Lin Xun sighed. He didn't care what others would think of him about agreeing to help Ning Meng. After all, he saw only Ning Meng and Shi Yu as his friends in the entire Blood Kill Camp. How could he abandon Ning Meng?

Furthermore, his help didn’t break any rules. So, even if he was criticized, there was nothing they could do to him.

His personal reputation was nothing compared to his true friend.

However, Lin Xun couldn’t help but worry and take into account other unexpected situations happening.

“Don't worry, isn’t there Little White Face?” Ning Meng smiled proudly like he had already considered that possibility.

“Idiot, you actually counted me as well?”

Shi Yu was furious. If Ning Meng swallowed his pride and asked him for help, he, of course, would agree. But the fact that Ning Meng looked so certain that he would help irritated him.

“Hey, what do you mean, your friend is in trouble. Can you just stand by and watch?” Ning Meng asked in response.

Shi Yu’s expression changed indefinitely. He asked himself and knew that it was indeed very difficult for him to just stand and watch.

“What if three people challenge us three at the same time?” Lin Xun asked with a frown.

“It’s simple. I’ll jump off the stone pillar first and then you guys can help me take it back. As for the stone pillar you vacated, haha, you can also take it back if anyone dares to grab it!” Ning Meng spoke confidently like everything was within his grasp.

However, the other students couldn’t help but call him shameless when they heard the conversations between them. How could he shamelessly and self-righteously speak about ganging up?

Simply shameless!

However, the other students were most frustrated that Ning Meng’s plan didn’t violate the assessment rules and so they could only curse inwardly.

Lin Xun and Shi Yu finally understood that Ning Meng had planned this beforehand. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to take such a huge risk to challenge Zhangsun Hen.

We mustn’t be deceived by that guy’s rough and reckless outward appearance!

Lin Xun and Shi Yu shared the same thought.

The other students were evidently annoyed with the three. One by one, they looked at them with contempt, disdain and coldness, as though they regarded them as despicable.

Unfortunately, Lin Xun and Shi Yu could only accept it. There was nothing they could do since they had a shameless friend Ning Meng.

“Ridiculous.”

An instructor furrowed their brows in annoyance in the distance. “This is an assessment, how can they pull such a trick?”

Many instructors echoed, “If we let them do what they want, what is the point of this assessment?”

In response, Xu Sanqi waved his hand expressionlessly, “As long as they don’t break the rules, let them. Learning to recognize and use the rules are also a knowledge that they must master.”

The instructors fell silent. Although they still didn’t feel comfortable, they had to admit that Xu Sanqi’s was right and they couldn’t refute him.

Rules were dead and people were alive. If people only followed the rules and didn’t know how to adapt, they would forever be restricted by the rules. It would bring about many problems and would affect their future path.

After hearing about Ning Meng’s shameless arrangement, the students without a stone pillar also gave up on attacking Ning Meng.

However, it didn’t end there. Just when Ning Meng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, someone suddenly said aloud, “You three have gone too far.”

It was Zhao Yin. He stood with his hands behind his back, and his graceful and handsome face wore a righteous expression.

All the students felt their spirits were lifted. A good show is about to start.

Ning Meng frowned. “I don’t think we need you to tell us what to do.”

“Indeed, your move doesn’t violate the assessment rules.” Zhao Yin nodded,“But…some things aren’t just about the rules. Since you’re so shameless, I will have to do the same.”

Under everyone’s surprised gazes, Zhao Yin floated away from his stone pillar and landed on the ground.

He ran his eyes across everyone and finally fixed his eyes on Lin Xun. “Among you three, you are the strongest. Do you dare to accept my challenge?”

His words were powerful and resounding. Many students couldn’t help but applaud him.

Ning Meng’s face turned overcast. He didn’t expect Zhao Yin to appear and directly target Lin Xun.

Zhao Yin had basically ruined all of Ning Meng’s arrangements.

Shi Yu’s eyes flashed a cold glint. From his understanding, Zhao Yin wasn’t an impulsive person. On the contrary, Zhao Yin was narcissistic and egoistic. In the entire Blood Kill Camp, he had never attached any importance to anyone except for Bai Lingxi.

How would someone like him stand forward for righteousness?

There had to be another reason.

And the reason might lie in Lin Xun!

“That guy can’t hold back in the end. But he chose a good time to attack. It reeks of

righteousness and no one can criticize him.”

Bai Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Zhao Yin.

She knew very well that Zhao Yin harbored strong hatred towards Lin Xun after he was pushed down the ranking to fourth in the last war zone assessment because of Lin Xun.

However, Bai Lingxi didn’t expect that Zhao Yin wouldn’t be able to control his anger and chose to challenge Lin Xun.

But she very quickly understood that Zhao Yin’s action appeared righteous and won praise from the other students. Not only would he have a chance to defeat Lin Xun, but he also could wash away the humiliation he suffered.

Of course, Zhao Yin had another reason to challenge Lin Xun, and that was to prove that he was better than Lin Xun in front of Bai Lingxi.

Bai Lingxi was reluctant to admit this. She regarded Lin Xun highly because of his strength and nothing else.

But obviously, Zhao Yin didn’t think so.

“Strange. Today’s assessment seems a little strange,” whispered an instructor.

“Indeed, usually top students like Lin Xun and Zhao Yin don’t have to worry about being challenged by other students as long as they occupy a stone pillar. But Zhao Yin chose to challenge Lin Xun at this moment. There had to be a deeper reason behind it.”

The other instructors also couldn’t understand.

Xu Sanqi pursed his lips but didn’t say anything. He vaguely knew the reason but Zhao Yin’s decision still surprised him a little.

Though Lin Xun was the most surprised. He didn’t expect Zhao Yin to resent him because of a ranking in the war zone assessment.

He couldn’t help but wrinkle his brows when Zhao Yin pointed his fingers at him. Does this guy think he’s a savior? No one else has said anything, but he jumped out and acted all righteous. How ridiculous.

“What, Lin Xun, you don’t dare to accept the challenge? Could it be that you only like to gang up on other people?” Zhao Yin asked, a trace of mockery in his voice.

However, Lin Xun smiled. “Come if you want to challenge me. Why are you acting like a squeamish lady? When you want to kill someone, do you also ask if they want to be killed by you? This isn’t gentlemanly manners. It’s stupidity.”

Lin Xun wouldn’t lose in a battle of words.

As everyone knew that the word stupid was generally used to call the Magi Brute Race, it was even more humiliating for Zhao Yin to be described as stupid.

Many students were shocked. They didn’t expect Lin Xun to be so impolite.

Shi Yu couldn't help laughing. Lin Xun—that guy never likes to lose.

Although Zhao Yin outwardly remained calm and composed, his face was imperceptibly overcast with a fierce frown and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

“Okay, good! When you lose, I will ask you again who is the stupid one!”

As Zhao Yun’s bone-chilling voice rang out, he suddenly soared into the sky in a flash like a mighty dragon emerging from an abyss.

At that moment, wisps of dazzling violet light were flowing all over his body like he had transformed into a giant scorching violent sun. He illuminated the world and overlooked the universe. His body was filled with immeasurable power.

This was the innate talent unique to Zhao Yin—the Violet Sun Body!
