"A friendly spar between youths."
"Is there any problem?"
Lin You raised an eyebrow.
A single sentence left the two of them speechless.
Wei Feng, the Young Master of the Wei Family, gripped the long sword in his hand, the tip pointing straight at Lin You.
"Fine!"
"A spar between youths is fine!"
"I am a few years older than you, but I am still a youth. Do you dare to fight me!"
The other, the Young Master of the Zhuo Family, did the same.
"I am twenty-two this year."
"I suppose that gives me a slight advantage."
"But Lin You, if you truly have the skill, prove it to us!"
"If I lose, I will have nothing more to say!"
The two glanced at the unconscious younger brothers on the ground, disgust flashing in their eyes.
If you lose, you lose, yet you had zero ability to fight back.
You've completely disgraced our family's face!
"Oh."
Lin You crossed his arms and sneered, "The little ones can't win so the big ones come out, and if the big ones still can't win, the old ones are coming next?"
"Audacious!"
"Watch your attitude!"
Wei Feng rebuked angrily.
"Cut the crap, are we fighting or not!"
"If you don't dare, kneel down, kowtow, and call me Grandpa."
"We won't pursue the matter of you hurting people either!"
The Zhuo Family Young Master chimed in eagerly, terrified that Lin You would close the door and walk away.
If it really came to that,
they wouldn't have a single way to deal with him!
Lin You's gaze sank slightly, falling on the four figures not far away.
Today's affair,
feared it wouldn't be settled so easily.
[Ding!]
[Quest Issued: Striking Down Peerless Prodigies!]
[Quest Requirements: Defeat one hundred prodigies from the sixteen star domains!]
[Quest Rewards: Colored Crit Roulette x2]
[Quest Rewards: Aptitude Improvement Potion x1]
[Description: The Aptitude Improvement Potion can forge spiritual roots for the host!]
Hearing the system prompt,
Lin You's heart skipped a beat.
Colored Crit Roulette?
Was that the one with a hundred-fold minimum guarantee?
Most crucially...
The Aptitude Improvement Potion!
Didn't that mean his snail-like cultivation speed was finally saved!
If he truly obtained spiritual roots,
even without various crit blessings, relying solely on the baseline one hundred-fold, he wouldn't fall behind others!
Good, good, good!
With this, Lin You had even less reason to refuse.
He raised his head and looked at the Young Masters of the Zhuo and Wei families.
"Alright then."
"Since you insist on calling me out."
"Then I'll accompany you for a couple of moves."
Hearing this, Wei Feng and the Zhuo Family Young Master both wore smug smiles.
As expected,
aggressive tactics worked no matter where they were used!
Youths were full of vigor; who could endure being humiliated on their own doorstep.
The Zhuo Family Young Master stepped forward first, his peak ninth-heaven Martial Dao Profound Realm cultivation fully displayed.
The previous exchange had been too fast.
So fast that they had no idea what Lin You's cultivation realm was.
They simply assumed the two younger brothers had been drunk, which was why they were taken out in a single move.
"I admire your courage."
The Zhuo Family Young Master's gaze was arrogant, akin to the sovereign of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.
Full of vigor.
A youthful hero.
He nodded, speaking word by word.
"Mengbo Star Domain."
"For how many years, I've only ever had two rivals."
"I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Lin You picked his nose and said nonchalantly, "Hurry up and get on with it. I want to go home and sleep early."
"Arrogant!"
"Do you know who you are talking to?"
The Zhuo Family Young Master rebuked angrily.
"Hmm..."
"Are you non-human?"
Lin You raised an eyebrow, entirely unfazed.
Just a peak Martial Dao Profound Realm cultivator; his current self could easily handle one with a flick of his wrist.
The Zhuo Family Young Master's anger flared even higher.
His momentum was also climbing step by step, peak Martial Dao Profound Realm.
One more step, and it would be the Martial Immortal Realm!
"Don't say I'm bullying you."
"Throughout the Zhuo Family, even the ancestor said my aptitude is even stronger than the senior who took first place in the Heavenly Pride Competition back then."
"I started cultivating at age three, and broke through to the Origin Opening Realm at five."
"Innate at six, and at twenty-two this year, I am about to step into the Martial Immortal Realm!"
"Looking across the myriad realms, I am also a top-tier existence!"
Lin You curled his lip.
The opponent wasn't actually wrong.
At this age and cultivation level, he truly counted as a prodigy.
After all, he was the Young Master of a Sixth-grade Family, an existence nurtured with poured-out blood and sweat.
Of course...
on the premise that he hadn't run into a cheater like himself.
Or a Child of Destiny like Qin Feng...
In the arena, the Zhuo Family Young Master stood full of vigor, while Wei Feng, standing beside him, nodded with slight surprise.
The two elders were even more overwhelmingly satisfied.
"Not bad... the Zhuo Family Young Master truly lives up to his reputation."
"With such talent, he might well step into the True God Realm in the future."
The old man from the Wei Family praised.
The Zhuo Family Elder laughed heartily, waving his hands repeatedly, "Not at all, not at all. Compared to the young master of the Wei Family, he is still slightly inferior."
"It's just..."
"Dealing with some wet-behind-the-ears punk who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
"Is still more than enough!"
Just as the two were engaging in mutual flattery,
inside the Su Family estate,
Su Ming lightly raised his teacup, gazing distantly into the distance.
The miserable defeats of Zhuo Bufan and Wei Yu had originally caused him to frown.
He was just planning to question the two families about it afterward.
Now, seeing the two Young Masters personally enter the fray, he set his mind at ease.
"Mere Lin Family."
"They have no idea what they are about to face."
A Su Family elder at his side chimed in:
"The Patriarch is brilliant, borrowing strength to strike. This allows the Lin Family to be taught a lesson without requiring the Su Family to personally step out and offend them."
"A brilliant scheme! With the Young Masters of the two families personally taking action, it will surely be in the bag."
"Hmph! A lowly person crawling up from a Lower Star Domain actually wanting to sit on equal footing with us, laughable!"
"Indeed, if not for the face of the Everlasting Family, we would have eradicated them long ago!"
Undercurrents surged within the Mengbo Star Domain.
Inside the Lin Family, however, it was dead silent.
Eighth Elder: "It looks like someone is making trouble outside?"
Lin Tao: "Never mind it, You'er can handle it."
Sixth Elder: "True... You'er's cultivation is even higher than ours now."
Faced with Zhuo Bufan's endless stream of talk, Lin You speechlessly covered his forehead.
"Stop talking."
"Hurry up and throw a couple of punches!"
"If you keep talking, you're going to get all the way back to when you wore split-crotch pants as a kid!"
Why did people who fought always love to act cool?
weren't they afraid of getting their faces slapped if they lost?
Provoked like this by Lin You,
the Zhuo Family Young Master instantly lost his patience. He raised both arms and slowly gathered his strength.
"You will definitely pay the price for what you said today!"
"Sun Wheel Fist!"
--With a boom.
The Zhuo Family Young Master's vital Qi surged wildly around him, his might so strong that it condensed into substance around his body.
Immediately after,
that wave of blood Qi seemed to receive a summons, gradually boiling on the surface of his skin.
Before long, it transformed into two golden orbs, dazzling like the sun as they gathered upon his fists.
"Die!"
The Zhuo Family Young Master roared angrily.
With a single punch, the heavens and earth shattered!
Carrying an unstoppable momentum, it was as though he intended to completely crush Lin You to powder.
"Such a tyrannical fist!"
"That Zhuo brat has probably cultivated it to grand completion."
"An Earth-grade technique at grand completion can completely rival an ordinary Martial Immortal Realm!"
The old man of the Wei Family praised incessantly.
Like a grand mansion on the verge of collapse,
Lin You looked straight ahead, watching the fist flying toward him.
His fingertips twitched slightly.
Flippant.
Sharp Sword Qi erupted from his palm.
"So badass?"
"I also have a sword, come take a look!"
"Yellow Emperor Sword Canon, Sword One."
"Heaven Slayer!"
