The Prodigies War
chapter-475

Lin Xun wasn’t the least annoyed to be yelled at by Li Xiaofei. “Young man, if you’re ugly, you should train more in order to not let other people look down on you. Otherwise, if you can’t even marry an ugly wife, it would be very sad then.”

Some girls couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Li Xiaofei’s lips quivered with anger. The fact that he was able to study at Qinglu Academy and joined the Dao Martial Department was already very impressive, but Lin Xun made him sound like such an unpleasant person.

“I want to fight against you!” Li Xiaofei bellowed, his eyes wide with fury.

“Enough, move aside.” Xue Yun scrunched her brows, annoyed that Lu Xiaofei had lost his composure.

“I…” Li Xiaofei’s expression turned dark and unpleasant. He shot a malicious look at Lin Xun and said nothing else.

“Lin Xun, what do you say?”

Xue Yunxing’s bright eyes were cold, but her beautiful face was delicate and stunning. She had an icy personality and a noble air, so it made her seem extremely proud and aloof.

The men and women behind Xue Yun also stared at Lin Xun.

“Are you also a member of the imperial family?” Lin Xun asked with a smile.

A young man stepped forward and said sarcastically, “Lin Xun, were you not the one who forced the Marquis of Rising Sky to kneel? When did you become so cowardly? Could it be that you’re afraid?”

He was Shi Yunpeng, an expert in the Dao Martial Department and also a leading figure of the younger generation.

“You can ask me that again when you can also force the Marquis of Rising Sky to kneel.” Lin Xun swept a glance over Shi Yunpeng as though implying that he was unworthy of speaking to him.

“You…” Shi Yunpeng was also infuriated.

He thought that Lin Xun was too arrogant to look down on him. After all, Shi Yunpeng was considered the number one figure in the Dao Martial Department. When had he ever been mocked in such a way before?

Suddenly, another young man stepped forward with a slight smile. He said leisurely, “Lin Xun, I forgot to tell you this. Isn’t Lin Xuefeng your cousin? Did you know that he is like a scampering rat now? Everyone wants to beat him up.”

“Just a few days ago, he wanted to challenge me but, you know, he’s too weak so I accidentally wounded him badly. Now he has to rest and recuperate for who knows how long.”

Lin Xuefeng!

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. He finally showed a different reaction. Lin Xuefeng was the successor of the North Light Lin Clan, but more importantly, he was the first brother of the clan to submit to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun had never thought that Lin Xuefeng would be affected and bullied in Qinglu Academy because of him!

Unquestionably, they had flipped Lin Xun’s switch.

“What’s your name?” Lin Xun asked the young man.

“Jin Zhuliu,” the young man stated with a smile, his face glowing with pride.

Immediately, Liu Hui and Yang Jingyao became restless. It’s him!

Jin Zhuliu was a genius ranked ninth on the Spirit Sea Gold Ranking. His name had shaken the Dao Martial Department due to his many glorious achievements in the past.

Jin Zhuliu could be said to be more famous than Xue Yun and Shi Yunpeng.

“Lin Xun, I’m going to ask you again, what do you say?” Xue Yun asked coldly after taking a deep breath. Her patience was wearing out.

Lin Xun ran his eyes across Xue Yun, Shi Yunpeng, Jin Zhuliu, Li Xiaofei and the others, and then he smiled brightly. “It seems like that if I don’t agree, you won’t give up today.”

No one spoke as though they agreed.

“In that case, I’m curious as to how you guys plan to avenge the Marquis of Rising Sky?” asked Lin Xun.

“It’s not to avenge the Marquis of Rising Sky, but to wipe away the humiliation that the imperial family has suffered and allow you the chance to atone for the crime you have committed!” Shi Yunpeng said coldly.

“Do you want a battle?” asked Lin Xun.

“Correct.” Shi Yunpeng nodded.

“Okay!”

To everyone’s surprise, Lin Xun happily agreed.

The faces of Liu Hui, Yang Jingyao and the others were all clouded with worry, and they tried to dissuade him.

“Little Instructor Lin, don’t fight with them. They must have thought of a way to deal with you since they dared to challenge you.”

“Yes, as long as you stay in the Rune Department, no one will dare to touch you.”

Although the students had good intentions, Lin Xun shook his head and motioned them to not persuade him anymore.

“Let’s go then.” Lin Xun cast a glance at Xue Yun, put his hands behind his back, and strolled towards the distance.

“Although that guy is a bit troublesome...he has courage,” Li Xiaofei muttered.

“Hmph, isn’t this better? Go, tell Senior Brother Zhao Jingwen and Senior Brother Zuo Yujing that we have forced Lin Xun out of the Rune Department!” Shi Yunpeng ordered.

Xue Yun and the others walked with Lin Xun like they were escorting a prisoner.

“Let’s go too! If they dared to make things difficult for Little Instructor Lin, we shouldn’t let them!” the little fatty roared with righteous indignation.

“Yes, let’s go too!”

The students of Class 9C set off together.

……

The Dao Martial Department.

Ancient and grand buildings clustered together like a forest.

“What? Lin Xun came?”

“Go, let’s go take a look.”

“Haha, let’s join the fun.”

The peace was no doubt going to be disturbed today, especially in the Dao Martial Department. When the students learned that Lin Xun had come as asked, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

A group of people blocked Lin Xun’s path as he stepped foot into the Dao Martial Department.

“You’re Lin Xun? Why aren’t you hiding like a turtle?” the people sneered.

Lin Xun ignored them and continued forward. He couldn’t help but find the situation strange and wondered how the students were connected with the imperial family.

Could someone be secretly instigating this and trying to use the power of these students to humiliate me?

“Hmph, you’re still so arrogant at such a time. You have a death wish! I’ll tell you since you dared to set foot into the Dao Martial Department today, you must atone for the crimes you have committed!” someone else fumed.

Lin Xun continued to ignore the threats and moved forward under the leadership of Xue Yun and the others.

However, more and more figures appeared along the way, all of whom were Dao Martial Department students and many were top extraordinary figures of the Spirit Sea Stage.

However, they treated Lin Xun very badly. Along the way, they pointed and judged Lin Xun as he walked past. He was subjected to much mocking and humiliation.

Lin Xun was more and more certain that someone was behind that!

Whom could it be?

The Zuo Family? The Qin Family? Or the imperial family?

“Lin Xun, I’m talking to you! Do you hear me?” a white-haired young man thundered maliciously, his gaze was violent and wild. The fact that Lin Xun ignored him infuriated him.

Lin Xun glanced at Xue Yun and asked, “Who is the noisy white-haired boy? Could he be aging prematurely, so his mouth is out of control?”

It suddenly went utterly quiet. Everyone was shocked into silence, including Xue Yun, Jin Zhuliu and Shi Yunpeng.

It wasn’t until someone broke the silence with a burst of laughter. “Did I hear it right? That guy dared to call Lan Yu a white-haired boy? He also said he is aging prematurely! Hahaha—”

Everyone nearby donned strange expressions, and no one dared to laugh.

Lan Yu was a fierce character ranked fifth on the Spirit Sea Gold Rankings!

Lan Yu’s ancestors were in-laws with the imperial family, so he was considered half royalty. He had an outstanding aptitude but a fiery temper so not many people in the Dao Martial Department dared to offend him.

On the one hand, it was because of his special identity and status, but on the other hand, he possessed abnormal strength. He was regarded as one of the strongest in the Dao Martial Department, where elite cultivators accumulated.

White hair?

Lan Yu’s nose was almost crooked from the anger. Who in the world would dare to call him that?

Adding to that, Lin Xun said he was aging prematurely. He was a genius with a bright future and endless potential but someone dared to mock him in such a way!

“Lin Xun, it seems like you are tired of living,” Lan Yu hissed through gritted teeth, his face dark and unpleasant.

“White hair, take more care of your body and maybe you can live longer. You’re deteriorating at such a young age. You’re so pitiful.” Lin Xun sighed, shook his head, and continued forward.

Lan Yu boiled with rage. He couldn’t stand Lin Xun’s sympathetic sigh nor his vicious words.

“Do you want to die?” Murderous fury flashed in Lan Yu’s eyes.

Lin Xun cast a glance at him with the same pitiful expression.

“Young Master Lan Yu, ignore him. When he gets to the martial arts arena, you will have a chance to deal with him!” Li Xiaofei said ingratiatingly.

“Hmph!”

Lan Yu’s eyes were ice-cold as he glared at Lin Xun. “Do you dare to fight with me in the martial arts arena?”

Martial arts arena?

A flash of realization struck Lin Xun’s mind. It seems like they wanted to deal with me in the martial arts arena today.

“I suppose, but you will have to wait,” said Lin Xun with a smile.

“Wait for what? Are you afraid?” Lian Yu said disdainfully.

”You misunderstood. What I mean is that many people want to learn from me. You will have to wait in line. I will play with you after I deal with them.”

Lian Yu quivered with murderous rage at Lin Xun’s leisurely words. That guy is too arrogant! How dare he look down on me!

Even the faces of Xue Yun, Jin Zhuliu and Shi Yunpeng darkened. Lin Xun implied that he could finish them all by himself!

“Of course.” Lin Xun continued, ”Not just anyone is qualified to challenge me. If you want to fight against me, you must at least bring out some wager.”

“Wager?”

Many people were dumbfounded. Not only did that guy not act humble when he arrived at the Dao Martial Department, but he’s also demanding a bet!

He’s…too arrogant!

Lan Yu was also a little taken aback by his demand. Only after a long moment did he ask, “What kind of wager are you thinking?”

Lin Xun grinned. “Academy points. Whoever wants to challenge me will have to wager all their points. I won’t accept anything below 1,000 points.”

One thousand points as a wager?

Everyone was speechless. What does this guy think the points are? One thousand points are worth as much as ten million gold coins!

“Why don’t you die!” Lan Yu fumed.

He felt that Lin Xun was deliberately messing around because even with his current status and strength, it had taken him several years to accumulate one thousand points!
