The Prodigies War

Ji Xingyao was often called the leader of the West Infinity World’s younger generation and was revered by countless younger generation talents. Moreover, even her looks were peerless.

She had long and luscious hair, curved black eyebrows, and clear eyes that shone like stars. Every move she made gave off a unique sense of transcendence like a fairy who was as cold as snow.

In Yu Lingkong's opinion, only such a peerless woman was worthy of his pursuit.

To be frank, he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers from the South Wonder World to not only participate in the Dao Lantern Festival but more importantly, to also get close to Ji Xingyao.

However, after witnessing the ‘flirting’ between Lin Xun and Ji Xingyao, Yu Lingkong felt as if he had eaten a dead fly.

"Miss Ji, this rude person is sullying your reputation. Do you need my help?" Yu Lingkong said as he smiled at Lin Xun with cold eyes.

So what if this was the so-called Demon God Lin? Yu Lingkong didn’t give a damn!

The nearby experts were alarmed. None of them had expected that the supreme heaven pride from the South Wonder World, Yu Lingkong, would step forward before Ji Xingyao even said anything.

Ji Xingyao was already pretty pissed and was fighting the impulse to rush over and rip Lin Xun a new one. As such, Yu Lingkong's words only made her increasingly annoyed.

What was Yu Lingkong trying to say? Did he think she could not solve this small matter and needed other people to help?

Ji Xingyao knew Yu Lingkong was interested in her, but she wasn’t the least bit interested in him. Otherwise, she would not have sneaked into the Flame Capital and shown reluctance to meet Yu Lingkong who came to visit.

Although there was indeed nothing between her and Lin Xun, she was very repulsed by Yu Lingkong's actions, which made her very uncomfortable.

Lin Xun's expression turned a little strange. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Friend, you should be careful with what you say. What do you mean by rude? This is a private matter between me and Miss Ji. An outsider like you who doesn’t understand anything shouldn't butt in, right?"

The experts present gasped. Demon God Lin had such an unyielding character, and he had even rebuked Yu Lingkong for interfering!

"How impudent!"

"Do you have no manners?"

"Hurry up and apologize to Senior Brother Yu!"

The other Longevity Land disciples who came with Yu Lingkong angrily reprimanded Lin Xun. They felt that he had offended and slandered Yu Lingkong, which was extremely disrespectful.

Lin Xun cast a sideways glance at them. He still remembered how arrogantly they had acted when he reunited with Bai Lingxi a few days ago and how they had blatantly looked down on him.

Lin Xun could not be bothered with them back then, but they were now clearly pushing it. Did they actually think he was an easy target?

A chilly light shone in his black eyes. "You guys best shut up. This isn’t the South Wonder World, nor are we at your Longevity Land. So don’t think that you can do whatever you want."

"You..." The young men and women were furious.

Upon seeing the atmosphere grow increasingly hostile, Bai Lingxi became anxious and immediately tried to step forward to mediate.

However, Yu Lingkong waved his hand to stop her and said, "Junior Sister Bai, I know you have ties with him. However, it will be best if you step down. This has nothing to do with you."

His expression was calm and indifferent as he gave off a strong pressure that seemed to convey he would not tolerate any disobedience.

Lin Xun grinned and said, "That's right. Miss Bai, there’s no need for you to put yourself in a difficult spot. You should also know that I, Lin Xun, have never been afraid of anyone since I started cultivating."

Bai Lingxi frowned, but ultimately sighed and withdrew.

She could already tell that neither Yu Lingkong nor Lin Xun were going to back down at this juncture because it was a matter of dignity.

The other heaven prides felt a little peculiar. They didn't expect that Demon God Lin would not only appear to have some relation with Ji Xingyao but was also familiar with Bai Lingxi of Longevity Land!

How unfair!

What was so good about Demon God Lin that he could gain the attention of these two outstanding beauties?

Many men could not help but feel envious of him.

On the other hand, although the supreme heaven prides such as Sha Liuchan, Qing Lian'er, and Zhongli Wuji appeared to be watching like bystanders, they deeply wished that Lin Xun and Yu Lingkong would clash. In fact, it would be even better if they both suffered heavy injuries and were eliminated!

……

Yu Lingkong looked Lin Xun up and down and indifferently said, "Everyone says that Demon God Lin is very bold, but in my opinion, rather than bold, it would be more appropriate to say you’re a death-seeking fool."

Death-seeking fool!

The other heaven prides were shocked. Demon God Lin had already proven his strength through his many battle achievements, and there were now very few people who would dare to give him such an evaluation.

Despite this, Yu Lingkong had not only said it, but even declared it right in front of Demon God Lin. It undoubtedly showed that Yu Lingkong didn’t give a damn about Demon God Lin!

"I do not wish to make things difficult for you in the Dao Lantern Festival. Hence, I will give you a chance to apologize to me and Miss Ji, and I will let you off this time."

Although Yu Lingkong spoke casually, his handsome face gave off a disdainful and oppressive aura.

Lin Xun snorted and was about to say something only to catch sight of Ji Xingyao acting as if she were a bystander waiting for the entertainment to start.

The proud girl was obviously the root of all these problems, but she wanted to stay out of it? How could there be such a good deal in this world?

As such, Lin Xun immediately changed his mind and said with a sigh, "Xingyao, won’t you explain? I’m only doing this to protect our secret. If you really don’t care, I’ll have no choice but to reveal our secret..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Ji Xingyao froze and glared at him. "You dare!"

Everyone's expressions immediately turned strange.

At this juncture, even Yu Lingkong was beginning to suspect that there was some kind of suspicious relationship between Ji Xingyao and Lin Xun.

It caused Yu Lingkong's expression to darken, feeling angry and bewildered.

Ji Xingyao was feeling extremely indignant and embarrassed. She couldn't believe that the shameless bastard was using that incident to threaten her.

Even her snow-white neck had turned red, and her beautiful face was filled with embarrassment and alarm. She could not compose herself and felt as if she was about to go crazy.

"Lin Xun, are you forcing me?" Ji Xingyao took a deep breath and murderously glared at him.

Lin Xun displayed an innocent look and said in surprise, "Xingyao, what do you mean by that? I just want you to explain so certain people will stop being so extra and try to interfere in our matters without understanding anything. I’ve never planned on revealing our secret."

The way he called her Xingyao and said ‘our secret’ made it seem that they were on intimate terms, but it also made her want to kill him.

Her entire body trembled in anger, and her eyes were practically spitting fire as she gnashed her teeth. She was obviously on the verge of erupting.

Likewise, Yu Lingkong was furious when heard the word ‘extra,’ and murderous intent surged within him.

He was a descendant of the Yu Clan, the most outstanding expert of Longevity Land’s younger generation, and was known to be unmatched among his generation in the South Wonder World.

Today, however, he was being viewed as an ‘extra,’ which was undoubtedly a massive insult!

"You're asking for death!"

Yu Lingkong's long hair rose around him as killing intent appeared on his handsome face. Light seemed to shoot from his eyes as an invisible pressure spread, causing the nearby experts' hearts to tremble. Strong!

In this moment, Yu Lingkong was akin to an enraged god. His presence soared into the sky, disturbing even the wind and clouds.

"Why? Are you going to lash out at me in anger? Bring it, I’m not afraid of you!"

Lin Xun displayed a sunny smile.

His black eyes flashed fiercely like lightning as his aura rumbled around him. He was curious about how strong Yu Lingkong was to dare and target him like this.

Moreover, after breaking through his limits in the second trial, his combat ability had undergone a complete transformation, and he needed a strong opponent to test the new extent of his capabilities.

The atmosphere instantly turned hostile and tense as if a bomb was about to go off at any moment!

No one had anticipated that because of Ji Xingyao, a sudden conflict would arise between Demon God Lin and Yu Lingkong before the third trial even began.

As the two individuals faced each other, it felt as if a storm was about to arrive.

The other experts watched from the sidelines with varying thoughts about the turn of events.

Some were eager for the battle to begin. They would be more than happy to see Demon God Lin or Yu Lingkong be eliminated.

Sha Liuchan and Qing Lian'er were part of this group.

Some were worried that a fight between two such peerless individuals would be so earth-shaking that it would end up affecting the others.

However, just as the battle was about to break out, an unexpected person stepped forward to try and dissuade Lin Xun.

"Lin Xun, I urge you to apologize to Young Master Yu and Miss Ji. Stop being so willful and stubborn, or catastrophe will strike you sooner or later!"

It was Xie Yutang.

Everyone was stunned. Who dared to take such a tone with Demon God Lin?

"The Little Sword Lord of the Xie Clan was once a proud individual. I never imagined that he would become such a lowly person. Instead of helping Lin Xun, he wants Lin Xun to bow his head. How disappointing..."

Bai Lingxi frowned, feeling very angry. They were all from the Ziyao Empire, but it was obvious that Xie Yutang did not treat Lin Xun as their own.

Lin Xun was also angered when he saw this ‘old acquaintance.’

He had not forgotten that when he was clashing against the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan experts, it was this same Xie Yutang who had used the Windspeaker Clan to announce to the world that he would expose Lin Xun and squash the absurd rumors about him. The incident had suddenly left him in a disadvantageous position and even made him receive slander from many people.

To think that Xie Yutang would pop up again before they had even resolved their old debts!

Yu Lingkong was also slightly taken aback. He didn't expect such a sudden twist would occur at this juncture. He smiled slightly and decided to take a step back to watch how it would play out.

Suddenly, everyone’s attention focused on Xie Yutang, which made him feel immensely pleased with himself.

Of course, he wasn’t trying to steal the limelight, but instead hoped to use Yu Lingkong and Ji Xingyao to humiliate Lin Xun, take him down a notch, and ruin his reputation in front of all the other heaven prides!
