The Prodigies War-Novel

“How dare you! Who are you? How dare you behave wildly here?! How dare you treat us like nothing?! This is ridiculous!” Someone stood up in a rage, unable to hold back anymore.

Other people wore hostile expressions.

Lin Xun seemed unaware as he still looked at no one except Qing Yunyang. “If you were a true expert, then would you pay attention to the noise of a fly?”

The corners of Qing Yunyang’s lips twitched. He wanted to say, “That guy isn’t a fly; he’s Lai Yunshen. Although his strength isn’t the most terrifying, his Scarlet Bird Clan is one of the overlords of the Southern Sea and no one dares to provoke the clan.”

However, he gritted his teeth and didn’t dare to say that when he was faced with Lin Xun’s calm and cold gaze. He only said bluntly, “No!”

Lin Xun nodded. “That’s right.”

Lai Yunshen, whom Lin Xun regarded as a fly, felt so enraged that his face turned purple-red, and his lungs almost erupted.

When had he, a high and mighty figure of the Scarlet Bird Clan, ever been humiliated like that?

Never!

But now, in front of everyone, a teenager disrespectfully treasured him as a lowly and ugly fly! How could he accept that?

“Haha, do you think that you can look down on everyone else and do whatever you want after you defeat Wei Cang?” Lai Yunshen’s voice was ice-cold and ruthless. “I don’t care who you are. If you don’t apologize on your knees today, not only you but also your family will have to die to atone for your sins!”

Everyone in the hall smiled sinisterly. In their opinion, Lai Yunshen was qualified to say that because he was a descendant of the Scarlet Bird Clan!

His identity and status alone were convincing enough!

It’s over for that kid!

Everyone had the same thought.

A young girl said proudly, “Friend, you might be very strong and proud of your ability, but you are just an ignorant fellow to us. Now, if you quickly apologize on your knees, we may be able to spare your life.”

“No, it won’t be enough for him to kneel and apologize. He injured Wei Cang and disregarded us. He has to be properly punished to vent our anger.”

“Hmph, arrogant boy, so what if you are strong? Do you think you can do whatever you want because you possess a little strength?” someone sneered.

They might have been shaken and taken by surprise when Lin Xun defeated Wei Cang, but in their view, Lin Xun was still just a teenager with no impressive background, as suggested by the fact that he was friends with someone like Qing Yunyang.

After all, among the figures of the top clans, who would willingly be friends with Qing Yunyang?

Based on that, they acted superior and showed not a shred of fear.

However, Lin Xun’s reaction once again differed starkly from their expectations.

He continued to stay calm and instead he looked at Qing Yunyang. “How do you feel now?”

Qing Yunyang’s face was covered with complicated emotions. It seemed to have dawned on him as he took a deep breath and said, “I realized that I am ridiculous and blind to hang out with these people.”

Everyone’s face darkened. His words were undisguised, blunt and akin to directly scolding them!

“Qing Yunyang, do you know the consequences of your words!” Lai Yunshen threatened in fury.

The others looked like they were about to boil over. “Do you want to rip open our faces? But are you qualified? You’re just looking for death!”

“You are just a bunch of clowns who can only act tough in groups. I used to regard you as fellow cultivators. Now, I know that you are just a swarm of flies to true experts. You’re so ignorant that it is pitiful!” Qing Yunyang’s voice was resounding but calm, and his face bore a resolute expression. He seemed to have become another person.

He had transformed!

At least, his state of mind had transformed!

Lin Xun sharply sensed his change. What Qing Yunyang said was not important. What was important was the attitude behind his words.

That was the key.

If a cultivator didn’t have such a state of mind, then he would never achieve any great achievements in his life!

Clown…fly…

Qing Yunyang’s words stunned the audience. Everyone was in disbelief. They couldn’t believe that Qing Yunyang, who was always subservient to them, would say such a thing.

Their embarrassment quickly turned to anger. Qing Yunyang dares to regard us as clowns and flies?!

They felt that their dignity had been provoked as they had never been insulted like this before!

“Qing Yunyang, I will give you one last chance. Kneel now and apologize to us then I can act as if nothing has happened, otherwise...” Lai Yunshen said through gritted teeth as he pointed at Lin Xun. “Otherwise you can’t leave here today, just like him!”

“Is that right?” Lin Xun raised his head, staring coldly at Lai Yunshen with his deep, unfathomable eyes.

Lai Yunshen stiffened inexplicably and trembled inwardly. He felt an unprecedented chill, as though a killing god was watching him from the ninth heavens.

How…

How can his gaze alone be so terrifying?

Boom!

Before he could figure out the reason, his vision blurred and Lin Xun appeared in front of him. It happened so fast that he had no time to react.

“Kneel.” A calm and indifferent voice rang in his ears like a supreme order.

Lai Yunshen was so terrified that even his spirit shuddered.

“No—!” Just as he screamed, a hand clapped his shoulder and a throbbing pain shot through his body.

Under horrified gazes, Lai Yunshen was forced to his knees with one gentle clap and split the ground with multiple cracks.

It suddenly became utterly silent.

Lai Yunshen was a noble descendant of the Scarlet Bird Clan! Even the strongest top clans in the Southern Sea wouldn’t dare to ask him to kneel! But a teenager had subdued him to his knees without saying much!

That was the greatest humiliation!

If the matter spread out, Lai Yunshen would never be able to lift his head again in his life!

The most unbelievable thing was Lin Xun’s incredible speed. He looked calm and apathetic, but he moved at a speed beyond imagination.

Lin Xun had suppressed both Wei Cang and Lai Yunshen with a raise of his hand.

His strength was too frightening.

Although they were all from the younger generation, they were the leading figures of various clans. They might be arrogant and domineering, but they were all very powerful and much stronger than average cultivators.

That was the source of their confidence.

But they couldn’t imagine the terrifying power the teenager had to be able to decide everything with a wave of his hand!

That kind of extraordinary strength was seen only in supreme top saints. How could they not be astonished?

Even Qing Yunyang was astonished, but immediately, awe and desire filled his eyes.

If...If I also possess such powers, who would ever dare to disrespect me again?

His desire intensified!

He saw the power of a true expert from Lin Xun. He realized that only when he became stronger would he gain the respect of others and instill fear in his enemies!

Without strength, the so-called relationships and social circles were nothing but moonlight in the water!

For example, everyone in the hall acted high and mighty, but now, in front of Lin Xun, the demon god youngster, they were more like pitiful clowns…

Power!

Qing Yunyang’s eyes flashed a resolute glint.

“Friend, you have gone too far!”

Amidst the deathly still atmosphere, Luo Ya, who was sitting on the main seat, swept a glance over Lin Xun, his eyes swirling with frightening lights like faint will-o'-the-wisps.

In everyone’s eyes, Luo Ya was a top cultivator strong enough to be ranked in the top 30 among the younger generation of the Southern Sea.

But for Lin Xun, he was nothing special.

“You don’t agree with my actions?” Lin Xun’s voice was indifferent, but his words seemed to be full of power.

“I look forward to learning from you!”

As Luo Ya took a deep breath, divine lights blazed around his body and his bearing suddenly soared.

“You’re not good enough. Who else doesn’t agree should attack with him!”

Lin Xun’s dark, unfathomable eyes scanned the audience. Anyone who met his gaze couldn’t help but freeze and avoid direct eye contact.

“Is that the power of a true expert?” Qing Yunyang murmured, eyes sparkling with a hint of admiration.

“Hmph!” Luo Ya snorted coldly.

Unable to stand Lin Xun any longer, he boldly launched an attack.

Boom!

Rage hadn’t clouded his mind. Instead, he wasn’t fully aware of Lin Xun’s mighty strength. He brought out a golden spear circulating with divine lights and charged forward.

The great hall boomed, the airflow turned chaotic, and the piercing whistle made everyone’s faces blanch and their blood churn frantically in their bodies.

Undoubtedly, Luo Ya had unleashed all his strength!

He regarded Lin Xun as a great enemy and knew he couldn’t hold back his strength.

Luo Ya’s spear was remarkable and considered top-notch within the same cultivation stage. Any other cultivator would likely be afraid to face it head-on.

However, Lin Xun’s reaction once again was contrary to everyone’s expectations.

He stood there motionless, his tall and handsome figure akin to a towering mountain. He stretched out his slender and fair hand and clutched the golden spear coming straight at him.

The terrifying power of the spear could smash mountains and valleys, but the weapon failed to advance an inch under Lin Xun’s firm grip!

In addition, the golden spear whimpered as if unable to bear the impact.

Everyone’s expression dramatically changed, and their souls almost left their bodies from fright!

Luo Ya’s full-strength attack was being suppressed so easily!

Boom!

With a flick of his wrist, Lin Xun seized the golden spear. Then, with a wide sweep of the spear, Luo Ya flew across the air and smashed a hole into the wall a dozen feet away.

One strike!

Luo Ya, a top expert in everyone’s eyes, was utterly defeated and had multiple bones crushed!

On the other hand, Lin Xun was standing straight in the same spot, a golden spear gripped firmly in his hands. His cold and dark eyes were terrifying to the audience. He never wavered once from beginning to end.
