Others didn’t believe him, but Lin Xuan was confident in himself. He was determined to surpass Chu Zhongtian. With this thought, he turned back to the Demon Sect prodigy and brought the corpse with him. This should fetch a good number of points.
Ye Qingwu also cleaned up the battlefield before returning to the Heavenly Dao Academy with Lin Xuan. Along the way, she tried several tis to persuade him to give up, but Lin Xuan simply shook his head each ti. Eventually, Ye Qingwu stopped trying. In her eyes, it was impossible for Lin Xuan to succeed, let alone surpass Chu Zhongtian.
When Lin Xuan returned to the Heavenly Dao Academy, the other disciples gave him strange looks, so curious, others gloating. Clearly, they had already heard the news about his challenge to Chu Zhongtian. They also knew that the two were set to have a decisive battle in three years. Lin Xuan was strong, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t possibly defeat Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian was already a Grandmaster. In three years, he might even beco a Great Grandmaster. How could Lin Xuan possibly be his opponent? In their view, Lin Xuan was dood.
"Alas, even though he broke through to the Martial General realm and proved he isn’t forsaken by the heavens, he still has no future. In three years, he’ll be crippled by the First Senior Brother."
"I heard the inheritance he cultivates is the sa as the First Senior Brother’s. Only one of them can continue on that path."
"All the power he’s cultivating will be seized by the First Senior Brother. In three years, he’ll be turned into a useless cripple."
"So he still has no prospects, does he?"
"Hmph, how is that any different from being forsaken by the heavens?"
The crowd shook their heads and sighed.
When prodigies like Wu Ming, Zhang Yang, and Zhao Jie heard the news, they were stunned for a mont before bursting into excited laughter. That fool Lin Xuan is courting death!
Sun Hao and Sun Tian were also ecstatic when they received the news. Perhaps we can finally get our revenge. This ti, however, they had learned their lesson. They would wait until after Lin Xuan was crippled before seeking their vengeance.
Upon hearing the news, Feng Qingxue rushed over to him. "Lin Xuan, is what they’re saying true? Did you really cultivate the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist? Are you going to compete with the First Senior Brother for the Dragon’s Heart?"
"That’s right!" Lin Xuan nodded.
"Are you insane? Give up now! Go and apologize to the First Senior Brother, or you won’t survive this!"
"Don’t worry, I will definitely surpass him," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Feng Qingxue stomped her foot in frustration behind him. She felt that Lin Xuan’s boast was far too outrageous this ti.
Zhao Feiyan scoffed when she heard the news. "Do you all think he’ll only be crippled three years from now? How naive. The First Senior Brother has many followers. Although he himself won’t act, his followers certainly will. They will definitely teach Lin Xuan a lesson."
Lin Xuan, however, paid no mind to any of this. He went to the Task Hall and presented the corpse of the Demon Sect prodigy. This was a genius from the Demon Sect no weaker than Wei Wuya, and killing him was worth a large number of points. Lin Xuan directly received 5,000 points, which he then used to exchange for a large quantity of Spirit dicines. He prepared to return and practice Alchemy to improve his cultivation. However, he was stopped midway by a figure—it was none other than Shen Xiaoyao.
"Why are you blocking my path?" Lin Xuan frowned.
Shen Xiaoyao sneered. "Who do you think you are, challenging our First Senior Brother? Kneel and apologize to him at once!" Shen Xiaoyao had always idolized the First Senior Brother, viewing him as his ultimate goal. In his eyes, the First Senior Brother was invincible. Anyone who dared to challenge him was seeking death. For Lin Xuan to issue such a challenge now was simply reckless. Even if the First Senior Brother disdained to act himself, he would teach this brat a lesson.
"None of your damn business!" Lin Xuan snorted. "Get out of my way!"
He paid Shen Xiaoyao no mind. Although Shen Xiaoyao was his senior, he was rely a Three-Star Martial General. Lin Xuan was already capable of killing a Three-Star Martial General.
Shen Xiaoyao flew into a rage. "You’re too arrogant, kid! Today, I’ll teach you a good lesson and show you the vastness of the heavens and the earth!"
The commotion attracted the attention of others, and many disciples hurried over to watch.
"That must be Lin Xuan. He’s so arrogant, daring to challenge the First Senior Brother."
"Hmph, the First Senior Brother has countless followers. Even if he doesn’t make a move himself, they won’t let Lin Xuan off."
"And look, Shen Xiaoyao is about to act now."
"So what if Lin Xuan is first on the Minor Celestial Ranking? He’s still no match for Shen Xiaoyao."
"Shen Xiaoyao is a Three-Star Martial General. Defeating him will be as easy as pie."
"I bet this Lin Xuan won’t even dare to fight."
"It won’t matter if he does or not. Shen Xiaoyao won’t let him go, and more prodigies will challenge him after this."
"Even if the kid doesn’t accept, they have plenty of ways to torture him."
Hearing these comnts, Lin Xuan frowned. So many people want to challenge ? In that case, I might as well make an example out of soone. I’ll let them all know I’m not so pushover. Thinking this, he looked at Shen Xiaoyao and said, "You want to fight ? Fine. I’ll grant your wish."
The surrounding disciples were stunned by his words. What? This kid is actually accepting Shen Xiaoyao’s challenge? He must be insane! He’s too reckless. Who does he think he is? How could he possibly defeat Shen Xiaoyao? How could he be a match for a Three-Star Martial General? Ugh, this Lin Xuan has gotten too conceited. Does he think that just because he’s the rookie king and first on the Minor Celestial Ranking, he can take on a Three-Star Martial General? Honestly, the gap between them is far too great. The crowd shook their heads and sighed, none of them optimistic about Lin Xuan’s chances.
Shen Xiaoyao, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected his opponent to accept the challenge so readily. Hahahaha, perfect!
"Let’s go! To the martial arts arena!" Shen Xiaoyao announced, walking towards the arena with great strides.
The others quickly followed, while so ran off to call their friends, swelling the crowd heading for the stage. Zhang Yang, Zhao Jie, and Sun Hao all arrived as well. When they heard the news, they were dumbfounded. Lin Xuan was really going to fight Shen Xiaoyao? He was a fool.
With a flicker of movent, Shen Xiaoyao leaped onto the arena. He glared at Lin Xuan and shouted, "Get over here and die, you brat!"
Lin Xuan snorted coldly. With a single step, he instantly appeared on the stage as well. He stated calmly, "Make your move. Use your full strength, or you won’t stand a chance."
Lin Xuan’s nonchalant tone, as if he didn’t give Shen Xiaoyao a second thought, made his opponent furious. He let out a roar, and Spiritual Power erupted from his body, sweeping in all directions. The power was so terrifying that the surrounding disciples trembled. The first-year and second-year disciples kept retreating, so even feeling an urge to fall to their knees.
He’s too strong! Shen Xiaoyao is too strong! He’s a third-year disciple! A Three-Star Martial General! He’s on a completely different level than us. Just watch, Lin Xuan is bound to lose. He’s going to be defeated in a single move!
Feeling this surge of power, Lin Xuan simply raised an eyebrow. The next mont, he took a deep breath, and the Dragon Power within his body began to circulate. He shot towards Shen Xiaoyao, and upon reaching him, threw a punch.
