The Prodigies War

Lin Xun looked up and saw a young man with a scarlet sword strapped to his back standing in the center of the hall on the first floor of the inn.

The young man was followed by a group of subordinates.

It was the subordinates who caused the racket

Their gazes were all fixed on the closed door of a room on the second floor of the inn. It seemed that Fang Linhan from the Eight Extremes Blade Temple was inside.

“It’s Liu Zaiwen, a young cultivator of the Liu clan! He actually personally came to challenge Fang Linhan himself!”

An uproar broke out in the inn when someone recognized the sword-wielding youngster.

The Liu Clan was part of the Four Sects and Three Clans in the Fire Spirit Province and had a long history and great influence in the entire province.

It had cultivated generations after generations of talented people. For example, Liu Zaiwen was one of the top figures of the younger generation in the Liu Clan, and he was considered a rising star in Flame Capital.

“A good show is going to start soon.”

Many onlookers were filled with excitement and anticipation.

When Lin Xun was strolling the streets, he heard many things about Fang Linhan.

The successor of the Eight Extremes Blade Temple was from the Mystery Water Province in the West Infinity World. At a young age, he had already demonstrated his cultivation prowess, talent and foundation.

Just a month ago, he took part in a duel in the Flame Capital martial arena.

He overpoweringly defeated hundreds of young experts from different forces, overcoming all the battles thrown his way. He won hundreds of duels in total and had never been defeated once!

His feat quickly caused a sensation in Flame Capital and sparked a lot of uproars. Almost no one in the younger generation of the Fire Spirit Province hadn’t heard the name Fang Linhan.

The Eight Extremes Blade Temple, a sect that wasn’t particularly well-known in the Mystery Water Province, rose to fame because of Fang Linhan.

However, Fang Linhan was still an outsider to the young cultivators of the Fire Spirit Province.

The more dazzling his achievements were, the more incompetent they made the younger generation of cultivators in the Fire Spirit Province. So much so that they regarded it as a matter of shame.

For example, almost everything that Lin Xun heard about Fang Linhan was filled with prejudice and hostility.

However, that only made Lin Xun more impressed with Fang Linhan. The fact that he had the courage to come to the Fire Spirit Province alone and challenge the younger generation of cultivators on stage in the prosperous Flame Capital was already impressive. It wasn’t something that ordinary people could do.

“Fang Linhan, are you scared? Quickly get out here!”

“What? Are you scared to fight now after learning that my young master has come?”

“Weren’t you very arrogant? Didn’t you say that no one in the younger generation of the Fire Spirit Province is worthy of fighting against you? Why don’t you have the guts to leave the room now?”

The Liu Clan subordinates clamored again, their voices full of provocation.

After a long moment, a leisurely voice sounded from the closed door, “Is a group of trash worthy of telling me to come out? Quickly get lost, don’t disturb my rest.”

Everyone erupted with rage.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was a little taken aback. Based on Fang Linhan’s tone of voice, he seemed very arrogant and overbearing.

“How dare you call us trash?!” fumed the Liu Clan subordinates.

Even Liu Zaiwen, who had been waiting quietly, couldn’t help scrunching his brows.

A chilling look flashed across his eyes, and he waved his hand, motioning the subordinates to stop yelling. He raised his head and looked at the closed door. “Fang Linhan, if you are afraid, I will leave now. If you dare to fight me, then come out now and stop wasting everyone’s time.”

“Afraid?” Fang Linhan howled with laughter in the room. “Come to the Flame Capital martial arena tomorrow and if I can’t defeat you within three blade strikes, I will destroy my own cultivation base!” This was all said in a straightforward and contemptuous manner..

Si!

Audible gasps rang out in rapid succession in the hall. Fang Linhan wasn’t only arrogant, but he also considered everyone else beneath him. He treated Liu Zaiwen as a nobody!

He implied that, given Liu Zaiwen’s ability, he couldn’t possibly block three of his blade strikes!

So arrogant!

Many onlookers couldn’t stand and watch any longer. It was too infuriating to watch an outsider act so arrogantly and disregard them just because he had a little achievement.

Liu Zaiwen’s face grew increasingly dark, and his eyes almost shot out rays of cold light. He was no doubt infuriated.

Clang!

A scarlet sword flew out from behind him like a fire dragon, emitting blinding divine flames.

“You don’t need to wait. I am going to make you destroy your own cultivation base now!” As his ice-cold voice rang out, he reached to grab the scarlet sword and, with a flash, charged towards the second floor of the inn. A beam of blinding light shot out from the tip of the sword, attempting to tear the door down.

He wanted to force Fang Linhan out to fight!

Everyone cheered in the hall, thinking that Liu Zaiwen’s majestic move lived up to the reputation of the cultivation world of the Fire Spirit Province.

But the joy didn’t last too long. “How ridiculous. An ant is trying to shake the tree.” The door creaked open and a disdainful and arrogant voice came out.

Almost at the same time, a ray of blade light streaked across the air like a lightning erupted from the ground, accompanied by the rumble of thunder.

Many people felt a stinging pain in their eyes. Their minds shook and their visions started to blur.

Boom!

Following a deafening collision, wood chips hurled across the air, the railings crumbled down, and a thunderstorm raged through the hall, turning some pieces of furniture into dust.

A defense array had been set up in the inn, yet it shockingly still couldn’t withstand and neutralize the destructive power of the blow.

Then, everyone saw Liu Zaiwen get propelled across midair. He charged towards the door quickly, but he came back even faster. The blow directly blasted him to the ground and smashed a huge pit into the floor of the hall.

Everyone was petrified.

The subordinates of the Liu Clan were even more dumbstruck.

Pu!

Liu Zaiwen coughed up blood, trembling all over. His chest was sunken in, and more than half of his muscles and bones had snapped. The terrifying light ripped through his clothes and scorched his body.

With a clang, his scarlet sword flew back and inserted itself into the floor at an angle in front of him, whimpering and trembling.

Everyone blinked blankly. Liu Zaiwen is one of the top figures in the younger generation of the Liu Clan!

But he was defeated in just one blow?

Many people couldn’t accept this fact.

Not only that, no one saw how Liu Zaiwen lost!

“The difference in strength is too huge…”

Lin Xun couldn’t help shaking his head. He had captured every little detail of the battle.

He didn’t doubt that Fang Linhan had the ability and strength to act so arrogantly. But Liu Zaiwen had no self-awareness. Before he knew anything about Fang Linhan’s background, he stormed up there to challenge him and that led to his tragic defeat.

Of course, Lin Xun was just a passerby, so he wouldn’t feel anything for Liu Zaiwen.

He was just surprised about Fang Linhan’s strength. He was indeed a peerless genius of the younger generation.

He was only at the Heaven Ascension Stage, yet he already possessed extremely unbelievable martial arts power. In particular, his blade art was powerful and domineering, and it had to be an amazing secret inheritance art.

“You failed to block a single attack of mine, yet you think you can challenge me. If I am arrogant, I don’t know what you are!” Following the voice, a figure leisurely strolled out of the room on the second floor with his hands behind his back. He leaned forward on the railing and peered down on everyone, eyes glowing with a menacing light.

He had long, thick hair draping loosely down his tall and slender figure, framing his bewitchingly charming and arrogant face.

He pursed his lips slightly in a perfect arc that looked like a blade. He was oozing superiority all over his body.

It wasn’t arrogance, but instead an aura that exuded from deep within. Only those with absolute confidence in their strength would have such an amazing bearing.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and secretly exclaimed, “This person is indeed extraordinary.”

Yue Jianming, the successor of the Thousand Illusions Sect, had already amazed him a few days ago.

And Fang Linhan was just as amazing as Yue Jianming in terms of bearing!

In the few days he spent in the Fire Spirit Province, he encountered two extremely talented people with completely different bearings and aura, but both were regarded as peerless geniuses. How could he not marvel?

The Ancient Wasteland Domain was indeed filled with hidden dragons!

“Take that blade strike as a warning. I am a born lunatic, but I also have self-awareness. Unlike you guys!” Fang Linhan’s indifferent voice showed a unique aloofness.

The inn fell utterly silent, while the Fire Spirit Province cultivators’ expressions morphed indefinitely. They all felt utterly humiliated, ashamed and furious at being reprimanded by an outsider like Fang Linhan.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Fang Linhan seemed to sense something when he caught sight of Lin Xun among the crowd. The corners of his thin lips curled upwards in a surprised smile.

His eyes glowed with great interest as he looked at Lin Xun. “Friend, are you interested in going to the Flame Capital martial arena tomorrow to fight with me?”

His eyes were blazing with the joy of finding a worthy opponent—It was undisguised and very direct.

Everyone turned their heads to Lin Xun all at once, frowning in bewilderment. They never imagined that Fang Linhan would take the initiative to invite someone to fight with him!

It was too rare.

After all, Fang Linhan attached no importance to even Liu Zaiwen and was reluctant to show up to take his challenge.

The situation was completely different!

Could the handsome youngster be a peerless genius? But he looked very unfamiliar. What sect or clan did he belong to?

Everyone curiously studied Lin Xun.

Even Lin Xun himself didn’t expect Fang Linhan to ask him for a battle so directly. He was a little stumped for words.

Soon, he shook his head. “Let’s talk about it again if there’s an opportunity.”

As he was speaking, he walked away to the room he had just reserved. He had just arrived in Flame Capital and knew little about the situation in the city. How would he be interested in dueling with a born lunatic?

No one expected his answer. They all looked dumbfounded. That guy…declined so nonchalantly? Is he afraid?

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll wait for you.” Fang Linhan smiled.

His curled lips coupled with his wild and unruly demeanor gave him a strange demonic charm.

Even based on appearance and aura alone, Fang Linhan was undoubtedly an extremely remarkable man.

Even if he was thrown into a crowd of people, his brilliance couldn’t be concealed, and he would still be one of the most eye-catching individuals there.

However, he didn’t seem to mind when his challenge was refused. His reaction and lack of arrogance baffled the other cultivators.
