The Prodigies War

Winds whined and snow whirled, forming a vast world of whiteness and biting cold air.

As Lin Xun pushed forward with the journey, he encountered dangers again and again, but he managed to avoid them all in time and escape.

It felt too dull and lonely. There was no other scenery in the secret realm apart from snow and ice.

Suddenly, a sound pierced through the wind and snow, and a gust of wind caught Lin Xun’s hair.

It was a group of young men and women traveling on streams of light. They were particularly eye-catching in the vast world of white snow and ice so Lin Xun couldn’t help staring at them in surprise.

After traveling for so long, they were the first group of geniuses he saw.

The young men and women were also surprised to see Lin Xun wandering alone in the snowstorm.

“That guy has guts. He dares to cross this ice-snow wasteland by himself without any disguise or cover. Could he be a peerless figure? But why don’t I remember that there is such a person?”

“How would he be a peerless figure? He’s just a pitiful guy with no background and no friends. Don’t forget that in this Reverse Five Elements Secret Realm, even a peerless person would know to find a companion to travel with and be extra careful. How would they be so reckless like him? He is just looking for death!”

The young men and women discussed with each other.

“There’s no need to speculate. He is definitely a fool with no background and no friends, so he has no choice but to act alone. Also, it’s obvious that he doesn’t know about the dangers of this secret realm. It will be over for him soon.”

“We are approaching the Fire Lotus Ice Mountain soon, and it will be even more dangerous then. We should follow that guy and let him scout out the paths for us first so we can avoid any dangers in advance,” someone suggested.

Lin Xun raised his eyes and furtively glanced at the young men and women. He did not say anything and continued on his way.

He had already activated the Great Formless Art to alter his appearance and aura when he entered the Ice Snow Secret Realm. Even if Yue Jianming was here, he wouldn’t be able to identify him.

He knew very well that someone had been secretly exacerbating the situation by releasing information about him and making him become a target for everyone. He guaranteed that a reckless fellow wouldn’t miss out on the chance to attack him and seize the rumored treasures on him, including a Saint treasure.

He wasn’t afraid, but he wouldn’t be so stupid to not be guarded against attacks.

He changed his appearance to see how many people wanted to target him at the Dao Lantern Festival and who was the culprit for fanning the flames!

Roar!

An ear-piercing roar resounded in the distance, quickly followed by a giant snow-white ape leaping into the air. Its translucent hair glistened as ferocious qi raged around its ten-foot-tall body. It looked savage and violent.

Its body was flexible and nimble, its fangs were knife-sharp and its eyes were scarlet-red like fresh blood, shooting out beams of blood-red light.

Undeniably, it was a fierce beast much stronger than the ice monster beasts that Lin Xun had encountered along the way.

Lin Xun slightly narrowed his eyes, realizing that the real dangers were gradually emerging now.

Shua!

With a flash, he avoided the terrifying beast, moving around it from the other side.

“Hey, the fool is quite sharp. He knows how to avoid dangers.”

“That’s normal. People like him are most afraid of death. After all, it’s not easy for him to be qualified enough to take part in the Dao Lantern Festival.”

The young men and women sneered mockingly as they followed Lin Xun.

Huh?

After dozens of miles, a hint of surprise crossed Lin Xun’s face. Within the biting cold wind, he smelled the cloying scent of blood.

Then, he noticed clouds of smoke and dust above the icy ground in the distance. He squinted his eyes and could roughly make out feathers, broken bones, and scales scattered all over the ground as well as puddles of bloodstains.

Not long ago, there had to have been a fierce and intense battle there!

Lin Xun was chilled to the bone.

At the same time, through his spirit sense, he discovered an unusual scene.

A lava lake seemed to be floating on the snow-white layer of ice, glowing a bright-red hue. It was at least ten feet wide with billowing white mist rising from the surface and filled with the pungent scent of sulfur.

It was unbelievable to find a lake of lava in the middle of a world of snow and ice. Moreover, not an inch of the surrounding ice had melted. Instead, it looked like the ice and fire had integrated.

“The Reverse Five Elements Secret Realm...Reverse...Could the scene in front of me be a so-called reversal?” Lin Xun contemplated.

He didn’t recklessly draw closer to investigate because he sensed danger given that a bloody battle had broken out near the lava lake not too long ago.

“Hey, you, go check out that lake!” The group of young men and women following Lin Xun urged him to take the risk.

Lin Xun frowned, swept a glance over them, and snorted, “You can go yourself if you want to know so much. Stop shouting here.”

He was analyzing the bizarre environment, suspecting that there was some great mystery to the so-called Reverse Five Elements Secret Realm, where ice, snow, and lava strangely coexisted without conflict.

As they say, it is impossible to mix fire with water and that is a law between heaven and earth.

However, here, they achieved a miraculous balance that allows them to coexist. Perhaps, once a certain limit is reached, a reversal is inevitable. This might be where the name came about.

As he was fathoming the mystery, he ignored the yelling of the young men and women.

“Do you hear us?”

The faces of the men and women darkened. In their view, Lin Xun was alone, weak, and a nobody, unlike any of the other peerless figures who participated in the Dao Lantern Festival.

Therefore, they had no reason to be polite and respectful to Lin Xun. They only regarded him as someone easy to bully.

“If this secret world is a rune array, then the so-called Reverse Five Elements might just be a formation of the reversal of the five elements…” Lin Xun pondered.

“Do you want to die?!”

Lin Xun’s apathetic attitude angered a young man and made him raise his hand and launch a palm strike. “It’s no use pretending to be deaf, even if you don’t want to go, you have to go!”

Boom!

A dazzling palm of wind took shape, tearing apart the void as it roared toward Lin Xun like a dragon charging out of an abyss. He wanted to threaten and force Lin Xun to investigate the area ahead.

“Die!”

A cold light flashed in Lin Xun’s dark eyes, and the young men and women shuddered inwardly.

Bang!

Then, Lin Xun turned around and with a light forward step, a snow-white Hornless Ice Dragon soared into the sky and instantly crushed the palm of wind.

The Hornless Ice Dragon didn’t stop after that, but instead flung its tail across the air and brought out a gush of terrifying cold light to engulf the young men and women.

The youngsters had to be extremely strong and extraordinary since they were qualified to participate in the Dao Lantern Festival, but unfortunately for them, they ran into Lin Xun.

Even Sha Liuchan, Qing Lian’er, and other peerless figures lost to Lin Xun after teaming up. How would it be different with them?

“You…are…”

“Demon God Lin?”

They were struck by a flash of realization, and their eyeballs almost rolled out of their sockets.

Once Lin Xun made a move, they immediately recognized that he was the invincible Demon God Lin who suppressed everyone in the Four Seasons Pavilion with his mighty power a few days ago!

However, it was too late. The snow-white Hornless Ice Dragon once again swung its tail with full force. Its power and might were incomparable. In the blink of an eye, they were all screaming and wailing on the ground.

“Demon…No…Young Master Lin, we didn’t know it was you. We were too ignorant. Please calm down and forgive us all.”

The young men and women trembled, and their teeth chattered like crazy as various rumors about Lin Xun crossed their minds. Their arrogance and disdain had completely faded, replaced by fear and shock.

He was an unrivaled fierce person!

The young people might come from outstanding backgrounds and be regarded as influential figures of the younger generation, but they were considered nothing when compared to someone like Demon God Lin!

“You guys have insulted and offended me several times in a row. Do you think I can forgive you just because you admitted you have been too ignorant?”

Lin Xun wore the coldest expression.

He wasn’t a ruthless person, but he also wasn’t someone who would let other people bully him. He previously couldn’t be bothered to pay any attention to those fly-like guys, but that only made them more and more disrespectful to him, so he had no choice but to take action now.

He couldn’t tolerate them anymore!

Bang!

With a kick, he sent a young man screaming across the air.

However, just as he was about to strike again, the space rippled and the young man vanished out of thin air!

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. As he expected, during the five assessments of Cangwu Mountain, once someone’s life was threatened, they would be teleported away. Their worst outcome was just elimination and failure to obtain any blessings, but they would never lose their lives.

Lin Xun had already understood this before. He also knew that after he passed the five tests and arrived in front of the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree, he would lose this special protection.

In other words, at that time, deaths could happen during the fight for great blessings!

“No! I beg you! Please don’t!”

The young men and women panicked, their expressions changing dramatically. They didn’t want to be eliminated like that. They had just started the test so how would they be willing to leave so soon?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lin Xun’s expression remained unchanged as he kicked them into the air one by one and eliminated them from the world of snow and ice.

Very quickly, only a black-robed young man remained.

The young man was the guy who attacked Lin Xun first.

Lin Xun stared at him. “Were you not very curious about what is hidden in the lava lake? I will fulfill your wish now and let you go and see for yourself.”

“No—!” The black-robed young man was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.

However, while he was begging for mercy, Lin Xun lashed out with a swift kick and sent him into the lava lake.

Rumble!

But before the black-robed young man landed, a rumble in the lake set off monstrous waves of blinding-red lava and incinerated the dome of the sky.

Shua!

At the same time, a long snake flashed in the air like fire-colored lightning and violently rushed toward the black-robed young man.

Lin Xun gasped in the distance. With one glance, he recognized that the monster was a rare beast from the ancient era—Fire Serpent Dragon!
