The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 1077 The Most Beautiful Touch of Shyness

The last round of the last duel came to an end between these moves.

The process was somewhat ridiculous, but the duel was undoubtedly outstanding. Xiao Cangtian admitted defeat, but no one could say that he was completely defeated.

Perhaps, this was the result he wanted.

At this moment, all the gazes towards Lin Xun were complicated and astonished.

All the duels in the Little Giant Lists Competition had finished. There was no doubt that this young man from the lower world had killed his way out of a group of ancient dao sects, and with an undefeated record, taken the top spot!

He ranked first!

He could even be called the number one amongst supreme heaven prides under the age of thirty in the four major worlds of the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

This was undoubtedly a supreme title that would cause the world to look over.

Demon God Lin!

No matter how many criticisms and storms this name had attracted, it was destined to become famous in the four great worlds after the competition!

“He won!”

Zhao Jingxuan quietly clenched her fists in order to control her excitement.

Her pretty face was glowing, and her lips were tinged with a smile. Such a bright expression made her look exceptionally beautiful.

“Lucky us. Taking this guy as our gang boss is not so embarrassing after all. Otherwise if that old bastard knew about this, his foul mouth would diss me to death.” A’lu had an exaggerated look of relief on his face.

“I didn’t think he’d take first place. But how exactly did he become enemies with Senior Brother Yun Qingbai?” Jin Muyun was in a daze.

Although he had been thwarted by Lin Xun, deep in his heart, he actually admired him.

Lin Xun came from a lower world with no one to rely on, yet had been able to cause a storm and now even won the Little Giants List Competition with an undefeated record. This was simply a miracle.

The heirs of the other ancient dao lineages really should reflect on themselves!

After all, compared to the Demon God Lin, none of them lacked natural talent, foundations, and inheritances. They were born with all the advantages.

But in the end, they all lost to him. This was enough to make any prideful, self-proclaimed, ancient dao heir feel ashamed.

“Whatever. I already promised I won’t show up anywhere around him in the future anyway.” Jin Muyun shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

“Damn! I can’t beat him in combat, but I must take him down in drinking. Hmm, it’s time to get those good wines from the old man’s collection…” Ye Chen mused as he stroked his chin.

As for Yu Lingkong’s group, their faces were gloomy, and their hearts were filled with unwillingness and disillusionment.

Lin Xun claiming the top spot was too heavy a blow for them.

“We can’t let him live!”

The forces that were at odds with Lin Xun felt a threat from his performance and harbored killing intent towards him. It was clear that once he completely rose to power, he would be a great danger to them all!

“I believe that today, the world will once again be shocked by the name ‘Demon God Lin!’”

“Heroes emerge in troubled times, and so in the great age. Perhaps, the great age is really coming…”

Powerful experts from other dao lineages were also overwhelmed with emotions.

……

The competition concluded with Lin Xun being first, Xiao Cangtian second, Ye Chen third, and Jin Muyun in fourth place.

The other thirty-six rankings had also been calculated.

The spirit servant stood in the sky above the battlefield, his body bathed in divine light, his expression majestic, and his voice rumbling.

“All thirty-five of you will most likely become great figures who will lead an era in the future, but you must all remember that when the great age comes, it will be accompanied by great chaos! You are all outstanding cultivators born in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. If one day, the billions of people of the Ancient Wasteland Domain need you…”

Saying this, the spirit servant’s voice lurched into silence.

The Little Giants List Competition had come to an end, which should have been a happy event, but these words gave rise to a heavy feeling in everyone’s hearts.

The great age! Great chaos!

Could it be that he took a peek into the future and saw something bad happen?

“Forget it. Such an event involves endless variables, no one can say for sure. For now, just receive your respective rewards.”

The spirit servant said no more as he waved his sleeve.

Immediately, the Coiling Dragon tablets on thirty-five mountaintop dao altars burst with light, which then became dragon-shaped beams of great dao luck that bathed the thirty-five little giants in them.

The only dao altar without any movement was the one that originally belonged to Gou Yanzhen, who had been expelled for breaking the rules.

This was the price for self-detonation.

However, no one cared about him at this moment.

All the gazes were focused on the little giants, filled with envy.

Great dao luck was the key to becoming a King!

If one wanted to achieve the Supreme King stage when the great age came, the amount of luck they possessed would have a great impact on it.

Everyone had a feeling that even though the great age hadn’t arrived, the heaven prides of all worlds had already begun their competition!

Just like in this Little Giant Lists Competition, those able to obtain great dao luck were all ruthless cultivators who had killed their ways out of many heaven prides, and only stood out after many battles.

Predictably, on the road to the King stage, these thirty-five little giants would have an advantage over the other heaven prides present!

……

Lin Xun was meditating.

The great dao luck was an extremely vague force between the heavens and earth, but at this moment, it was bathing his entire being.

This feeling was hard to describe.

It was as if, after obtaining this power of fortune, his dao heart became purer, and his perception of the great dao and the world became clearer than ever before.

However, when he carefully experienced it, he was unable to specifically perceive it.

Indescribable, indefinable, but it truly existed, which seemed so magical.

Perhaps as the ancient sages had said, luck was like karma, like fate, like the rules of the heavenly dao, all marvelous and difficult to describe.

While Lin Xun couldn’t truly put his finger on it, he was certain that he had gained much more great dao luck than any of the other little giants present!

Compared to just Xiao Cangtian in second place, it already exceeded by a large margin.

This was partly due to the fact that he had the most generous rewards for taking first place, but at the same time, it was related to his performance in the previous battles.

Like after Gou Yanzhen was expelled, the entirety of his great dao luck had become a form of compensation for Lin Xun.

……

Before long, Lin Xun and the others completed their fusion with great dao luck and rose from their dao altars.

The spirit servant pointed at Lin Xun. “You stay, the rest can leave.”

Lin Xun wasn’t surprised because he knew the reward for first place was much more than that!

In addition to great dao luck, he earned a year of cultivation time in the Immortal Secret Realm, where a year was only equivalent to one day in the outside world!

Everyone looked at Lin Xun enviously.

It was very fortunate for any supreme heaven pride to be able to have this kind of cultivation opportunity before the arrival of the great age!

“Lin Xun, I’m making a trip back to the North Dipper World. After I ask my old ancestor for some good wine from his private stash, I’ll come here to drink with you,” said Ye Chen with a smile, “Of course, if you have nothing to do, you can come to Crape Myrtle Mountain to find me. In the North Dipper World, I can make sure that no one dares to bully you like in the East Victory World!”

As soon as these words came out, the experts from Spirit Treasure Holy Land, Heaven Axis Holy Land, and Omega Sword Sect all looked gloomy and uncomfortable.

Ye Chen was indirectly mocking them!

“Good!” Lin Xun agreed with a smile.

“Lin Xun, the next time we meet, I hope to have an all-out fight with you, unlike the one-move duel today,” said Xiao Cangtian with a smile even brighter than Ye Chen’s.

“It was your own suggestion, so why are you backtracking now?” asked Lin Xun.

“It was just to one-up Ye Chen, alright? What’s more, I really wasn’t confident about defeating you, so I could only come up with this plan.” Xiao Cangtian laughed loudly.

Ye Chen’s face instantly darkened. He looked like he wanted to launch himself at Xiao Cangtian and beat him up good.

“Boss, can you take me with you to the Immortal Secret Realm?” yelled A’lu.

The crowd rolled their eyes. This barbarian was actually dreaming in broad daylight. If it could be like this, then everyone wouldn’t have to fight for first place.

“No.” The one who answered was the spirit servant.

A’lu was speechless. He didn’t dare to fire his unrestrained mouth at the spirit servant.

“I…”

Zhao Jingxuan was about to say something when Lin Xun beat her to it and transmitted his voice with a smile, “Remember when we left the Return Dominion?”

Zhao Jingxuan subconsciously nodded. How could she not remember? At that time, if it wasn’t for the Old Ape, Lin Xun and Toady definitely wouldn’t have been able to leave.

“Let’s do the same this time, you return to Spirit Treasure Holy Land, and I’ll go find you when I have the chance,” said Lin Xun seriously.

“But this time, the Old Ape is far away within the Return Dominion and can’t help you.” Zhao Jingxuan frowned.

How could she not know that when Lin Xun left Immortal Forbidden Land, those powerful experts who had long been hostile to him would surround him?!

“Why don’t I go ask Senior Brother Yan to let you come with us?” she said.

Lin Xun refused without hesitation.

Yan Zhanqiu?

What a joke. He had made a big fuss in the Ink White Province and enraged the entire Spirit Treasure Holy Land so much that they itched to erase him. If he went with them, then he would walk right into the trap.

Zhao Jingxuan had also realized this. She quickly apologized, “I don’t mean anything else, don’t overthink it.”

Lin Xun chuckled. “Of course I know you are worried about me. We are good friends after all.”

Stunned, Zhao Jingxuan blurted out, “Just good friends?”

As soon as the words came out from her lips, she felt out of character. Her face flashed with a rosy color, and her clear eyes darted around, not daring to look at Lin Xun. She looked like she just wanted to burrow herself into the ground.

Lin Xun was first startled and then amused by her reaction. He put on a pretentious, confused expression. ‘‘If we’re not good friends, then what are we? You have to tell it to me straight. I’m stupid, I can’t guess a woman’s mind.”

Zhao Jingxuan inwardly cursed. A burning shyness painted her cheeks fiery red, adding a touch of rare delicacy to her fair face. She exuded a new charm that made her look indescribably beautiful at this moment.

Lin Xun was in a daze. He had never seen Zhao Jingxuan in such a shy posture before. It was completely different from her usual bright and unrestrained demeanor.

“Have you looked enough?!” Zhao Jingxuan’s willow eyebrows rose as she glared at him.

“Nope,” replied Lin Xun without thinking.

Zhao Jingxuan’s face burned hotter and hotter. She bit her lips, and her white jade hands unconsciously clenched due to nervousness. For once, she was at a loss.
