The Prodigies War

Chapter 180 No One Dares to Attack

By the time the students had snapped out of their trance-like state, they realized that the battle had already ended but the atmosphere had become indescribably strange.

Xu Sanqi and the other instructors were all solemn, surprised, in disbelief, and silent.

On the other side, Bai Lingxi was standing up, her dress fluttering in the wind and her hair flowing down to her waist. As she peered into the distance, there was a blank expression on her stunningly beautiful face.

Li Duxing was drawing deep breaths, as if to calm the turbulent feelings in his heart.

No one uttered a single word; the atmosphere was deathly still.

The students were all dumbstruck when they looked at the battleground.

Zhao Yin was lying unconscious on the ground. His body twisted strangely like he had suffered unimaginable pain before losing consciousness. His face was contorted with a bewildered, panicked, and reluctant expression.

Before the battle, he was like a giant violet sun illuminating the world, possessing divine power and looking down on the world. But, at that moment, he looked incredibly pitiful.

They turned to look at the stone pillar and saw Lin Xun’s graceful figure still standing. He was completely unscathed and only his face was a little pale.

In everyone’s eyes, he seemed to be cloaked in an indescribably majestic aura and compelled people to feel awe and admiration.

“Zhao Yin is defeated!”

Finally, someone cried out, breaking the silence and the strange atmosphere. Everyone jolted back to their senses.

“What exactly happened?”

“I don't know, I only saw stars falling from the eternal night. It was as though the sky was splitting.”

“That’s also what I saw.”

“Zhao Yin has the Violet Sun Body but he still lost…unbelievable. It’s too unbelievable!”

Clamor of amazement burst from the onlookers.

Many students’ faces were twisted with disbelief. The battle was indeed decided in one move, but they didn’t see how Zhao Yin was defeated!

It was too astonishing!

Shi Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air. His gaze turned complicated as he looked at Lin Xun. Turns out that he has been hiding his strength.

Ning Meng burst into loud laughter. What he was worried about hadn’t happened and so he felt extremely relieved and delighted.

Bai Lingxi sat back down on the stone pillar, but her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled and there was a ruminative look in her eyes. It was as though she couldn’t figure something out.

Li Duxing was as silent and lonely-looking as always. But he took occasional glances at Lin Xun. No one knew what was on his mind.

“Leader, have you ever seen that blade art before?”

An instructor couldn’t help but ask out loud, and the other instructors immediately turned to look at Xu Sanqi.

They were also very puzzled by the blade art that Lin Xun used to defeat Zhao Yin and why it contained such incredible power.

It could be said that the strength simply shouldn’t belong to a True Martial cultivator!

“I’ve never seen it before.”

Xu Sanqi’s answer disappointed the other instructors, but also surprised them. It added a hint of mystery to Lin Xun.

“The battle has already been decided. Let’s go and rescue Zhao Yin. Although he lost, we can’t let him lie there in humiliation.”

Xu Sanqi gave an order, and an instructor immediately rushed out to bring back the unconscious Zhao Yin.

Only when Xu Sanqi confirmed that Zhao Yin wasn’t in life-threatening danger did he breathe a sigh of relief. Zhao Yin was only unconscious from severe injuries. Xu Sanqi gave a wave of his hand and said, “Continue the assessment.”

……

Zhao Yin’s instant defeat caused a huge stir.

However, the assessment was still underway, and many students without a stone pillar couldn’t care too much and started to act.

Most importantly, Zhao Yin’s tragic defeat meant that he was eliminated and had no chance to enter the Dipper Transformation Lake.

As a result, the stone pillar that Zhao Yin had grabbed was vacated and became everyone’s target.

Meanwhile, the students occupying a stone pillar increased their vigilance and were on guard for attacks.

After witnessing the earth-shaking battle, all the students came to realize the terror of Lin Xun.

No one dared to target Lin Xun and no one dared to approach Ning Meng.

Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief. He sat cross-legged on the ground, cautiously analyzing the situation around him.

Lin Xun had already exhausted his strength to perform the Star-Gather move two times on Demon Cloud Ridge. And that was already his limit.

After he returned from Demon Cloud Ridge, his strength had improved significantly under Xiaoke’s guidance. Not only had he reached the pinnacle level of the ninth layer True Martial Stage, but he had also lit up the eighth star in his mind-sea.

His training had helped him unleash a tyrannical power in his battle with Zhao Yin. As a result, he defeated Zhao Yin in one move.

Of course, most importantly, the Star-Gather move was incredibly powerful!

It had to be said that Lin Xun still hadn’t fully grasped the essence of the Star-Gather move and the power he displayed wasn’t one tenth of its full potential. Even so, he still defeated Zhao Yin in one move. It could easily be imagined how terrifying the power of Star-Gather was.

Lin Xun couldn’t even imagine what kind of destructive power it would produce when he completely grasped the essence of Star-Gather and was able to unleash all its power.

The Star-Gather was only the first move in the Heavenly Yuan Blade art. There were also the Moon-Catch and Burning Sun!

The power of the last two moves would surely be superior to Star-Gather!

All that was, of course, due to the Omega Secret Realm.

As Lin Xun thought about the Omega Secret Realm, his heart trembled uncontrollably. He calculated the time and realized that he could again enter the Omega Secret Realm in half a year…

“Hey, you’re strong. Not only did you defeat Zhao Yin, but you also completely eliminated the possibility of him entering the Dipper Transformation Lake. What a domineering move.”

Shi Yu’s voice suddenly sounded.

Lin Xun checked his body and he only felt at ease after confirming that he still had half of his power left. He said casually, “What, you think I went too far?”

Shi Yu shook his head. “How would I? I’m just thinking that, if Zhao Yin wakes up, he would completely resent you because of this matter. You also know about his background and that he is related to the imperial family. His great-grandfather Marquis Bowang is the current emperor’s uncle. There will definitely be trouble in the future.”

Lin Xun frowned. “You seem to be gloating.”

Shi Yu smiled bitterly. “How would I dare? I’m just reminding you.”

Lin Xun thought for a moment and then shrugged indifferently. “It’s okay, if I encounter trouble in the future, I believe that you and Ning Meng won’t ignore it.”

Shi Yu looked blank. “How can you be as shameless as that idiot?”

Lin Xun smiled. “I can’t help it. I realized that if I wasn't shameless, I would only be tricked and deceived by you two.”

Shi Yu slapped his forehead and sighed, “I made the wrong friends!”

While the two were conversing, battles were constantly breaking out on the battlefield. The students had gone berserk to acquire a stone pillar. They exhausted all the means they had. A cloud of smoke pervaded the battlefield.

However, as time passed, one after another, students failed miserably, were knocked out or were injured and unable to fight again.

Inevitably, Shi Yu had also been targeted, but the battle unsurprisingly ended with Shi Yu’s victory.

Lin Xun noticed that there was a largest fraction of students from the 39th Campground among all the students present. There were as many as seven people.

In addition to Lin Xun, there were Shi Yu, Ning Meng, Li Duxing, Gong Ming, Qi Can, and Ye Xiaoqi.

However, only four of them, Lin Xun, Ning Meng, Shi Yu, and Li Duxing, had occupied a stone pillar. Gong Ming, Qi Can and Ye Xiaoqi were still fighting for one.

Soon, Ye Xiaoqi was defeated.

The little fatty youngster who was an expert in making people hate him turned around and left, knowing that there was no hope of grabbing a stone pillar anymore.

Not long after Ye Xiaoqi’s failure, Qi Can also encountered a crisis and was knocked unconscious.

Lin Xun didn’t feel a ripple of emotion seeing him in such a state. Among all the 39th Campground students, Qi Can, Xin Wenbin and Wen Mingxiu hated Lin Xun the most.

Xin Wenbin and the others had already been eliminated in the previous assessments, and now only Qi Can remained. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t manage to make it to the end.

When there was only one minute left in the assessment, only one student without a stone pillar was left on the battlefield.

He was called Feng Lin. He had already lost several times in a row, but he still persevered. Though it was obvious that he had no hope of changing anything in the remaining one minute.

Surprisingly, Feng Lin didn’t admit defeat and surprised many people.

However, when Lin Xun noticed Feng Lin had locked his eyes on Ning Meng, his eyes immediately narrowed.

If Feng Lin went to compete for Ning Meng’s stone pillar in the final minute, it would be a little difficult for Lin Xun to help out in time and a change might happen.

“Don’t worry about that idiot. Just watch.” Shi Yi’s voice suddenly rang out, sounding mysterious.

A thought struck Lin Xun’s mind, and he turned to look at Ning Meng in the distance.

Almost at the same time, Feng Lin was charging towards Ning Meng. Clearly, in his opinion, Ning Meng was seriously wounded and it was nearing the end of the assessment, so even if Lin Xun stepped forward to help Ning Meng, it would be difficult to change anything. Therefore, he attacked without any hesitation!

At that moment, the corners of Ning Meng’s lips quirked into a light smile like he had predicted that to happen.

This is bad!

Feng Lin also sensed a bad feeling, but he was already charging forward and couldn’t turn around. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and swing his blade down at Ning Meng with all his strength.

Almost at the same time, Ning Meng unleashed a loud roar and brought his halberd up in a slash. Shrouded in terrifying thunderbolts, it danced in the air and slammed down like a waterfall.

With a loud bang, Feng Lin’s body was blasted across the battlefield as he screamed in agony.

“Pah! You really think I don’t have any strength to fight? Who wouldn’t leave a trick up his sleeve? You’re blind!” Ning Meng remarked contemptuously.

Everyone was stunned. Could that guy have been pretending to be weak all along?

The corners of Lin Xun’s lips twitched. That guy is definitely a scheming man! I mustn’t be deceived by his rough and reckless appearance in the future!

At that moment, the bell rang, signaling the end of the assessment.
