The Prodigies War

“Actually…” Shen Tuo muttered hesitantly. “I had no choice but to ask you to return to the academy because I have a favor to ask from you.”

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. “Is there a problem at Qinglu Academy?”

Shen Tuo’s lips twitched in a wry smile. “This time, it is different from before. The situation is a bit unusual.”

Shen Tuo explained everything to Lin Xun.

It turned out that an important figure from the Heaven Axis Holy Land of the Ancient Wasteland Domain brought a group of young disciples to Qinglu Academy yesterday.

Their purpose was to select seedlings with the greatest potential from Qinglu Academy and bring them back to the Heaven Axis Holy Land for training before the great dao catastrophe.

It should have been a good thing, but unfortunately, the more talented students at Qinglu Academy had already gone to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

For example, Gu Yunting, Song Yi, Bai Lingxi and Zhao Yin, were the leading figures of the younger generation. Lin Xun had fought them all in the past.

The remaining students in the academy were still talented, but they were not as good as them.

The people from the Heaven Axis Holy Land weren’t only disappointed but also showed contempt and disdain for the Qinglu Academy.

It wasn’t considered a big deal, but today, Qinglu Academy’s students clashed with the successors of the Heaven Axis Holy Land.

Shen Tuo’s face became clouded with indescribable embarrassment and anger as he continued, “Those guys are so arrogant; they treat our students as ants! They speak so rudely to us!”

“So, the students couldn’t stand them and got into a fight with them?” asked Lin Xun.

“Yes, it’s a matter of honor and dignity, who could tolerate them?” Shen Tuo seethed. The fact that he became so furious indicated how arrogant the successors of the Heaven Axis Holy Land were.

Lin Xun started to understand the situation. “In the conflict, did our students...” he probed further.

Shen Tuo reddened with shame and nodded bitterly. “Yes, they were all defeated, utterly defeated.”

First, they were belittled and then they were defeated by those who looked down on them…That feeling was no doubt embarrassing and suffocating.

Immediately, Lin Xun sympathized with Shen Tuo. He patted him on the shoulder and comforted, “Don’t think too much about it. After all, they are successors of the Heaven Axis Holy Land. They have to be very strong.”

He had seen the strength of Xiao Ran, Su Xingfeng, and Gong Yangyu, the successors of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land, so he knew that every successor of the ancient dao sects wasn’t ordinary.

Compared to them, the students from Qinglu Academy were indeed inferior.

Lin Xun didn’t want to look down on the Qinglu Academy students but he had experienced the strength of the successors from the Ancient Wasteland Domain first-hand, so he was able to compare them.

However, Shen Tuo turned redder and redder after hearing Lin Xun reassuring him. After a long pause, he mumbled, “It’s understandable that the successors of the Heaven Axis Holy Land defeated our students but they lost to the successors’ servants…”

Lin Xun couldn’t help sighing inwardly.

All the students of Qinglu Academy are elites selected from rigorous examinations such as the district examination, prefectural examination, provincial examination and national examination. These students are the most talented group of people and also the ones with the greatest potential in the younger generation of the empire. They are the future pillars of the empire.

But they had to suffer provocation and contempt and were utterly defeated by servants…

It was indeed too shameful and embarrassing!

It’s no wonder that Shen Tuo looks so humiliated and aggrieved.

“You also know that a few months ago a group of our top students were sent to the Ancient Wasteland Domain. This includes Gu Yunting, Zhao Jingwen, Zuo Yujing and Huang Longshen...” Shen Tuo sounded very depressed. “If any one of them was around, the outcome of the conflict would have been different…”

Lin Xun agreed with Shen Tuo.

From what he knew, every person listed on the Qinglu Academy’s mysterious Spirit Sea Overall Rankings was considered a peerless genius.

Gu Yunting had also made it onto the list.

Unfortunately, those on the Spirit Sea Overall Rankings had all been sent to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Of course, in addition to the students on the Spirit Sea Overall Rankings, the students of the True Martial Department were also extraordinary and were all at least at the Heaven Ascension Stage.

However, those students had also left the academy.

It was no wonder that Shen Tuo asked Lin Xun for help.

The contempt and provocation from the successors of the Heaven Axis Holy Land had put the Qinglu Academy in an embarrassing and awkward situation

“It’s just that I am only a teacher, so would it be appropriate for me to help?” asked Lin Xun, but he was more than happy to help.

He had received a lot of help from both Shen Tuo and the Qinglu Academy. He also regarded himself as part of Qinglu Academy, so he wouldn’t stand and watch the reputation of the academy be damaged.

“Ah.”

Shen Tuo sighed strangely, “You don’t need to worry about that, because...”

He couldn’t continue his sentence.

“Because of what?” Lin Xun became more curious.

“Because they specifically asked to challenge you,” Shen Tuo finally stated the truth.

Lin Xun frowned. He had a feeling that the challenger was extremely hostile and said something unpleasant about him. It was just that Shen Tuo found it inappropriate to tell him.

“Haha, do they think they are qualified to challenge me?” Lin Xun grinned, showing his pearly white teeth.

He wasn’t laughing out of arrogance, but how would he be afraid of a successor of another sect after he had killed the true successor of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land?

“Little Brother, will you help out?” Shen Tuo became anxious when he heard Lin Xun’s response.

Lin Xun was speechless for a moment. Then, his black eyes turned unfathomable as he said calmly, “Of course, I will help, but I’m afraid they won’t have the ability to fight against me. Let’s make it clear first, I don’t want the blame if I accidentally kill someone.”

Shen Tuo inhaled sharply. Although he was excited and happy, he couldn’t help being a little worried because he knew that the youngster in front of him was extremely fierce and ruthless in battle!

He was the one who defeated six Cyclic Derivation cultivators!

His fierceness was forged from battles and bloodbaths!

Suddenly, Shen Tuo was full of anticipation.
