The Prodigies War
chapter-984

Le Caiwei scrunched her brows. “I saw it with my own eyes, how can it not be true?”

Whereas Lin Xun looked pensive. He sensed strong hostility from the guy called Yang Tianqi.

Is it because of Miss Le?

“What you see is not necessarily true. If you want to know, then there is a very simple way.” As Yang Tianqi spoke, he took a step forward and aimed his finger directly towards the space between Lin Xun’s brows like a sharp sword.

It was very sudden. No one thought that Yang Tianqi would use violence without any warning.

It also showed how domineering and wilful he was!

Chi!

Yang Tianqi’s hand was elegant and fair, and his finger was slender and glaring like a sword. It flashed in the air like a streak of lightning—fierce and swift.

The surrounding space tore apart.

The distance between him and Lin Xun was less than a foot, and his attack was so sudden, no one would be able to react in time.

It caught even Lin Xun off guard. By the time he reacted, the opponent’s sword-like finger was an inch away from the center of his brows!

The blazing flame at his fingertip flared up, gathering the most condensed and pure sword intent. It seemed unstoppable and capable of piercing all things.

Unquestionably, Yang Tianqi’s combat power was terrifying. Even if it was a sudden attack, not any ordinary person could accumulate such frightening power into their finger to attack.

At that critically dangerous moment, Lin Xun drew back with astonishing speed and folded his fingers into his palms, forming a lotus flower seal, and thrust it forward.

A black lotus flower seemed to have been born in the air, blocking the sword finger with incredible speed.

Bang!

The two collided, sputtering dazzling sparks everywhere.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Lin Xun reeled back, a drop of blood rolling down from the spear-straight scar on his right hand.

After all, the blow struck him off guard, so even if Lin Xun blocked it, it still scratched his hand.

This brought a cold intent gleaming in the depths of his dark eyes. If he was any slower, the attack could have dealt deadly damage to him!

“Oh, you managed to block my attack?” Yang Tianqi sounded very surprised. As he raised his eyebrows, flames surged up within his eyes and each strand of his long blue hair began pulsating and amplifying the domineering aura he was surrounded with.

“Then take another one!” he roared.

“Stop!” Le Caiwei shouted with an overcast face.

“Junior Sister Le, why? I’m just helping you test and find out about this person so that you won’t be deceived,” Yang Tianqi said helplessly.

He did not slow or halt his movement, but instead, his body flashed like lightning and a palm blasted across the air.

Bang!

The wind raged and thunder rumbled. Then, a fire cloud rose into the sky and took the shape of a palm, incinerating everything it touched.

A horrendous smash echoed through the hall as the mighty power exploded all the decorations and ornaments in the hall into dust.

That strike was visibly much stronger than the previous!

At the same time, Lin Xun also moved. He only sustained a minor injury from the previous blow, but this blow infuriated him.

It was the first time that they met, yet the other party had no scruples and attacked him. How could he tolerate such a domineering and arrogant attitude?

If he hadn’t reacted in time, then there could have been disastrous consequences!

So, Lin Xun’s temper was sparked!

Boom!

Swinging his palm forward in the air, he displayed the secrets of the Combustion Star River. A river of stars and flames gushed across the air with tremendous force.

But before the two clashed, Elder Ku Jing suddenly appeared between the two, and with a flick of his sleeve, a wave of supreme great dao power spread outwards from his robe and instantly dispelled the two attacks without a trace.

“Master Ku Jing, what are you doing?” Yang Tianqi furrowed his brows, looking a little puzzled.

Lin Xun sighed inwardly, a little disappointed, but he also knew that they couldn’t continue the battle.

“Tianqi, you are being rude.” Ku Jing’s expression was gentle, but he exuded indescribable majesty and authority. “This is not the way our Skyless Sect treats people.”

“I...” Yang Tianqi stuttered. “I have good intentions. I am doing this for Junior Sister Le.”

“Yang Tianqi, when did I want you to do that for me?” Le Caiwei’s face turned frosty. “You attacked my friend in front of me, is this your so-called good intention?”

Yang Tianqi quickly explained, “Junior Sister Le, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean that. You should know how I feel about you. No matter what I do, I always think about you first.”

He cared a lot about how Le Caiwei felt.

However, Le Caiwei ignored him, which made him look awkward and embarrassed, and he looked at Lin Xun even more unpleasantly.

This seemed absurd, but in Yang Tianqi’s view, he was just testing Lin Xun, yet Le Caiwei got angry with him. So, he could not help feeling upset.

“Lin Xun, I’m sorry for what happened just now,” Le Caiwei apologized to Lin Xun.

“Don’t worry about it. It has nothing to do with you.” Lin Xun smiled.

“Let me take care of your wound.” Le Caiwei took out a bottle of ointment and took Lin Xun’s hand.

Lin Xun had no choice but to let her.

But the scene took Ku Jing aback, and he couldn’t help looking strangely at Lin Xun.

From what he remembered, Le Caiwei had never been so concerned about any man.

Yang Tianqi’s face darkened, and rage pulsed through his veins. His eyes that were swirling with strands of flames became cold and chilling.

……

They soon parted. Le Caiwei boarded a ship with Xiaohe, Ku Jing and Yang Tianqi.

“Young Master Lin, take care!” Le Caiwei turned her head and smiled sweetly, her radiant and beautiful face looked even more dazzling in the sun.

“Big Brother Lin Xun, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely visit you!” Xiaohe waved her hand, feeling a little reluctant to separate from Lin Xun.

Lin Xun waved with a smile. “Take care, everyone.”

“Let’s go.”

Ku Jing steered the ship into the sky.

At the same time, Lin Xun heard Yang Tianqi’s cold voice in his ear. “You better know your status. You are not worthy of Junior Sister Le. If you dare to pester her again, I will kill you with my own hands!” His voice was filled with undisguised menace.

Lin Xun narrowed his black eyes and looked up to see Yang Tianqi standing on the ship and looking down at him with disdain.

Swoosh!

The ship broke through the clouds and disappeared into the sky.

Lin Xun withdrew his gaze and silently kept the name Yang Tianqi in his mind.

……

“Elder Gao,” Lin Xun said suddenly.

Gao Tianyi repeatedly waved his hands. “I don’t dare to be called an elder. Young Master, if there is anything just let me know.”

“I want to do business with you.” Lin Xun remembered that he did not need most of the items on him so he might as well exchange them for aeth essence.

“Business?” Gao Tianyi was taken aback.

“Yes, a big business,” Lin Xun joked. “Let’s see if the Skyone Pavilion can take it.”

Gao Tianyi laughed. “Young Master, in the entire Jade Flame City, there is no business that our Skyone Pavilion can’t take!” He spoke with confidence and pride.

Before long, his whole body stiffened.

In the Treasure Appraisal Hall of Skyone Pavilion were over a dozen appraisers busy identifying various treasures and assessing their prices.

Next to them stood a bookkeeper keeping accounts. “One piece of Cloud Dragon Jade, worth eight hundred mid-grade aeth essence, nineteen pieces of Azure Mist Emerald, worth six thousand mid-grade aeth essence, nine heaven-grade swords, worth two thousand top-grade aeth essence...”

The voice of the bookkeeper rang endlessly.

Meanwhile, Gao Tianyi was quivering inwardly as he gazed at the treasures piled up on the ground like a hill.

There were all kinds of treasures, including weapons, rune materials, elixirs, ores, aeth herbs...

The amount was too astonishing!

Given Gao Tianyi’s sharp and experienced eyes, he could tell at a glance that most of these items were spoils from different cultivators!

In particular, many items were treasures that could only be used by half-step kings. Does that mean half-step kings have died in the hands of Young Master Lin?

Gao Tianyi felt waves lifting high in his heart. He had to admit that Young Master Lin was a fierce character, especially since he was friends with Miss Le.

But soon, he didn’t care about that anymore, because he was struck dumb when the dozens of appraisers totaled the cost of all the items.

One hundred and ninety thousand top-grade aeth essences!

This was not only an astronomical figure, but it was also enough to purchase six Supreme King Weapons!

No matter how rich and powerful the Skyone Pavilion was, they couldn’t possibly hand over so much essence all at once.

Gao Tianyi’s face reddened with embarrassment at the thought of how he previously boasted to Lin Xun. He indeed couldn’t take on such a big business.

“Young Master, why don’t you choose some treasures in my Skyone Pavilion to offset some aeth essence?” suggested Gao Tianyi.

“Is there anything special here?” Lin Xun asked. He had checked the store and although there were many treasures, there were very few useful to him.

“Special...“ Gao Tianyi thought for a moment and then his eyes lit up. “Young Master, are you interested in the Rock Appraisal Event?”

“Rock Appraisal Event?” Lin Xun said blankly.

“Yes, you also know that recently, there have been shocking changes in the Boundary River, especially in the area of Chaos Star Beach, where a large number of Star Debris Meteorites have been found...”

According to Gao Tianyi, the so-called Rock Appraisal Event was a grand event for identifying, assessing, and dissecting Star Debris Meteorites.

To participate in the event, one only needed to pay an admission fee. All participants were allowed to select Star Debris Meteorites, dissect them, and obtain the treasures inside them, no matter what it was.

Recently, many amazing treasures were discovered at the Rock Appraisal Event and that news attracted more and more participants every day.

Skyone Pavilion was one of the organizers of the Rock Appraisal Event.

Lin Xun’s heart fluttered when he learned about this.
