The Prodigies War
chapter-1042

Most of the people present were famous heaven prides with extraordinary backgrounds. Hence, hearing someone call them impressive-looking but no good at fighting naturally didn’t make them feel good.

However, when they saw A'lu's rugged appearance which resembled a barbarian who had come from deep in the mountains, several of them couldn’t help but chuckle and shake their heads, deciding to not pay him further attention.

Why should they bother with such an uncouth-looking person?

It was beneath them to concern themselves with such an individual.

However, there were also those who weren’t going to let things go. They sneered and mocked, "What a bumpkin. Can’t believe he’s still wearing animal skins in this day and age. His speech is also so uncivilized and ignorant. How disgraceful. Someone like you dares to look down on us? Ridiculous."

The speaker was a noble-looking young man in a black robe lined with golden thread wearing a haughty expression. He was a disciple of an ancient orthodoxy and was surrounded by an entourage of followers.

A'lu was stunned. He turned his head and asked Xiao Qinghe, ''Is he scolding me?"

Xiao Qinghe hurriedly replied, "Please don’t mess around. It is forbidden to fight in the Immortal Forbidden Land, and anyone who disregards this rule will be expelled by the dao laws of this domain. If that happens, you won't be able to participate in the Little Giants List Competition..."

Without waiting for him to finish, the black-robed youngster interrupted with a snort, ''So you’re just a huge fool who doesn't understand anything."

A’lu grinned, revealing two rows of pearly-white teeth. His rugged face overflowed with disdain as he spat in the black-robed youth's direction, ''Grandson, this grandpa will crush your balls when we climb the mountain later!"

What a vulgar person!

The nearby experts frowned. This was the Immortal Sacred Mountain, and everyone present was a top younger-generation expert. Who could have expected to see such uncouth and vulgar behavior in such a place?

Several young ladies’ eyes widened at A'lu's offensive words, unable to imagine that someone would dare to use such filthy language in front of them.

"You...how dare you!"

The black-robed youth's nostrils flared in anger. If he hadn’t dodged in time, he would have been struck by the mouthful of spittle, which was simply disgusting to think about.

A'lu rolled his eyes and disdainfully said, "So what if I dare? Grandpa is a man of his word. If I don't bust your balls, I won't be your grandpa!"

Everyone was speechless. This brute was way too good at taking advantage of others. He already considered himself the other party’s grandpa regardless of whether he managed to kill the other party. What an insufferable mouth.

The black-robed youth was so infuriated that he nearly went crazy. Meanwhile, Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe hurriedly dragged A'lu away.

A'lu was rather upset and grumbled, "Why are you guys pulling me away? Even the True Roar Clan descendants aren’t my match in the art of scolding. You guys should know how powerful they are. A single roar from them can shatter mountains and make the sun and moon tremble. But when they encounter me, they can only run while being bombarded by my magnificent verbal abuse."

He couldn't help but feel smug toward the end, clearly proud of his cussing ability.

Xiao Qinghe finally understood why A'lu could always trigger him until he wanted to beat someone up. As it turned out, A’lu was the proud owner of a mighty mouth cannon!

Numerous heaven prides were gathered at the foot of the Immortal Sacred Mountain. They were from different ancient orthodoxies and naturally grouped up into small cliques. Each group maintained some distance from the others with everyone minding their own business.

The Lin Xun trio found themselves a spot in a less crowded area.

Lin Xun originally thought that he could finally have some peace. Who could have anticipated that a female cultivator of the Windspeaker Clan would suddenly shriek and run toward him?

"Oh my god. It's you, Demon God Lin! I can’t believe you came as well! Can I ask you some questions? Don't worry, I won’t force you to answer anything you don't wish to."

Her lips were fiery-red, and her beautiful eyes were as clear as water. She was a very lovely and attractive woman, yet a beauty like her was displaying an overly excited expression at the moment.

"What? He's Demon God Lin?"

"It's actually him?"

"No way, that barbarian is Demon God Lin? His speech is so vulgar!"

"Idiot, Demon God Lin is the young man next to the barbarian."

A slight commotion ensued as gazes simultaneously converged from all directions and looked at Lin Xun in curiosity, surprise, and doubt.

A'lu's previous behavior had drawn quite a bit of attention. As a result, almost everyone failed to recognize Lin Xun's identity initially and only belatedly realized it.

Demon God Lin!

It was the hottest name in the East Victory World that had caused many huge waves and garnered endless attention.

However, they found it difficult to associate the quiet, handsome young man with the rumored Demon God Lin, who was unrivaled in ferocity and savageness.

The contrast was simply unimaginable.

"You're Demon God Lin?"

Even A'lu was surprised. He sized up Lin Xun and said, ''But...why do you look like a little pretty boy?"

Black lines formed on Lin Xun's forehead as he said to the Windspeaker Clan cultivator, ''I would like some peace for a while, so please leave."

The beautiful lady cultivator wasn't discouraged. Instead, she shamelessly approached Lin Xun with a smile and said, ''I'll only ask three questions and then I’ll leave immediately."

Lin Xun frowned as he felt a slight headache. He genuinely couldn't understand why the Windspeaker Clan was so obsessed with prying for information.

He expressionlessly asked, "Aren't you afraid of offending me?"

"Nope, fighting isn't allowed in the Immortal Forbidden Land anyways. Moreover, I'm sure that you wouldn't hit a weak woman like me for no reason, would you?"

The lady displayed a sly and roguish grin.

Lin Xun sighed. Just as he was about to speak again, A'lu strode forward and said, ''I can’t believe Demon God Lin can't even deal with a girl. Let me show you how it’s done."

His thick, bronze arm reached out and firmly wrapped around the lady’s small waist as he shoved his scruffy face in front of her. He took a huge sniff, revealed a lecherous, intoxicated smile and said, ''Girl, your body smells really nice. Go ahead and ask me whatever questions you have, I promise that I will satisfy you."

The lady was initially stunned before she screamed and bolted away with a quick twist of her slender legs.

A'lu let out a hearty laugh. He stroked his chin and said, "What a big ass. She’ll surely bear me lots of kids if I manage to haul her back to the village and make her my wife."

Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe exchanged a look as a single thought appeared in their heads: is this what they call an evil person being punished by a greater evil?

After their initial surprise, the crowd withdrew their gazes and showed no further interest in Lin Xun.

However, they were inwardly unable to ignore him.

After all, he was the Demon God Lin. He was a supreme heaven pride capable of stirring up the entire West Infinity World while also being equally renowned in the East Victory World!

His strength had long been proven many times. Who would dare to ignore such an existence?

However, being unable to ignore him didn't mean they were afraid of him. Although Demon God Lin was strong, none of them would admit that they were weaker than him! The fact that they dared to participate in the Little Giants List Competition showed just how confident they were in themselves.

A man seated on a rock suddenly said, "So you're Demon God Lin."

He had a head full of fiery-red hair and was wearing a white robe.

He was originally almost unnoticeable as he quietly sat there with his eyes closed in meditation.

However, when he opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xun, it felt like the scorching sun had suddenly emerged, causing everyone’s expressions to change.

Mad Blade Xiao Cangtian!

Even some of the most confident supreme heaven prides in the area displayed slightly grave expressions. In their hearts, Xiao Cangtian was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying competitor.

Lin Xun had once exchanged a look with Xiao Cangtian from afar and wasn’t very surprised to meet him here today.

Lin Xun confidently met the other party's gaze and shrugged, ''The title was given by others. I have no choice but to acknowledge it even if I don’t want to."

"If you’re unwilling to acknowledge yourself as Demon God, I will also be unwilling to acknowledge myself as Mad Blade. After all, superficial titles are meaningless to people like us. However, I do look forward to competing with you."

Xiao Cangtian smiled in a carefree manner. His red hair fluttered in the wind while his long and narrow eyes shone intimidatingly like blades.

His entire being seemed to look down on everything while every movement and gesture he made seemed to pulse with unconcealable sharpness. He was indeed an outstanding and unique individual.

After saying his piece, he paid no further attention to Lin Xun and closed his eyes. Xiao Cangtian’s presence fell silent again like a proud sun hibernating in the eternal night.

Many experts involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief. The presence displayed by Xiao Cangtian earlier had been overwhelming and made them feel substantial pressure.

At the same time, their gazes changed slightly when they glanced at Lin Xun again.

Not a single person had aroused Xiao Cangtian’s interest ever since he arrived, and Lin Xun was the only one he spoke to.

This undoubtedly proved that Demon God Lin was a worthy opponent in Xiao Cangtian’s eyes!

A'lu cast a sideways glance at Xiao Cangtian and commented, "What a stinky, self-important person!"

It was a remark that appeared very out of place in the current atmosphere.

The crowd was stunned for a moment. What a ballsy barbarian!

To their disappointment, however, Xiao Cangtian appeared oblivious. He did not open his eyes or pay any heed to A'lu's offensive words.

A'lu seemed rather disappointed as well. He pouted and didn’t say anything else.

"How much longer do we have to wait before it starts?" Lin Xun gazed at the Immortal Sacred Mountain that reached into the clouds.

Xiao Qinghe answered, "It should be about two days more. After two days, the dao restriction on the mountain will disappear, allowing us to climb it."

Lin Xun acknowledged with a grunt as his thoughts turned to other things. Wasn’t Zhao Jingxuan supposed to have arrived long ago? Why was there no sign of her?

An unknown person said, "The Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples have arrived."

Upon hearing this, the crowd looked into the distance. They saw a young man in gold robes approaching while escorted by a group of young men and women.

This gold-robed youth was handsome and slim. He was shrouded in a golden glow and boasted astonishing vital energy. As he walked, the sound of dragons and tigers roaring faintly echoed around him.

His glorious appearance alone made several heaven prides sigh in amazement and feel a sense of inferiority.

Chu Beihai!

Lin Xun instantly identified the other party as a cold smile spread from the corners of his lips.
