A Child of Destiny!

Lu Yuan's expression remained calm, his eyes utterly still, as though he had expected this all along.

But then again, it made sense. He was originally the Eldest Young Master of the Lu Clan, an Immortal family from the Dark Continent. One reason he had come to the remote and desolate Tianxiao Continent was precisely because he had sensed the birth of many Children of Destiny here.

Lu Yuan opened the first golden finger he had obtained.

Looking at the incomparably proud Jun Moxiao atop the fighting stage, Lu Yuan's expression remained tranquil.

This is the first Child of Destiny to jump out, isn't it?

Fine. I'll kill one first and treat him as an appetizer.

Lu Yuan murmured inwardly.

Meanwhile, all the disciples surrounding the Battle Arena had already erupted into an uproar.

"It's here, it's finally here!"

"Hahaha, I told you! The champion of the grand competition would definitely challenge that Divine Son whose reputation exceeds his ability!"

"Saint Jun, go! Blow that Divine Son who got in through the back door to pieces!"

"Saint Jun ranks seventh among the ten Holy Sons and fifty-third on the Tianxiao Continent Prodigy Ranking. His strength is terrifyingly unmatched. Wouldn't he crush some Divine Son who got in through the back door with one hand?"

"I bet Saint Jun blows the Divine Son apart within ten moves!"

"That's too many. I bet three moves."

"Tsk, tsk, how conservative. I bet one move."

Among the hundred thousand disciples present, almost no one thought highly of Lu Yuan.

All of them were eagerly awaiting Jun Moxiao's defeat of Lu Yuan.

It was not just the disciples.

Above the stands.

In the elders' section.

Nangong Cheng, the Third Elder of Chaos Sacred Land, looked toward Great Elder Hong Xiaotian beside him.

"Great Elder, do you think Moxiao can defeat the Divine Son?"

Jun Moxiao was his prized disciple, and there was a trace of affection in his words.

Great Elder Hong Xiaotian was similarly imposing, his brows slanting sharply toward his temples and lending him a dignified air.

Hong Xiaotian said calmly, "I don't know. However, Jun Moxiao's strength is extraordinary, and his talent is astonishing. Even if he cannot defeat the Divine Son, a draw should not be a problem."

Hearing this answer, Nangong Cheng frowned, clearly dissatisfied. He gave a cold smile and said,

"A draw? Great Elder, you underestimate Moxiao too much. How about we make a wager? I bet Moxiao can defeat the Divine Son within ten moves. If I win, the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Pill you obtained some time ago will be mine. If I lose, the True Dragon Secret Realm Token I obtained not long ago will be yours."

Jun Moxiao was his disciple, and no one had more confidence in him than he did.

That was because he had witnessed too many miracles from Jun Moxiao.

Jun Moxiao seemed to be a favored child of heaven. No matter what life-or-death peril he encountered, he could always escape unharmed.

Whenever he went out to train, he would constantly encounter fortuitous opportunities.

He had a feeling that Jun Moxiao would surely attain the Emperor Realm in the future!

Hong Xiaotian glanced at Nangong Cheng and laughed. "You old fox, when did you find out that I obtained the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Pill?"

"The Nine Revolutions Nirvana Pill is for Zhan Tian's breakthrough into the Nirvana Realm. But since you dare to wager the True Dragon Secret Realm Token, why wouldn't I accompany you?"

"Hahaha, then it's settled."

Nangong Cheng laughed loudly.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

When the Chaos Sacred Master heard that Jun Moxiao intended to challenge Lu Yuan, his scalp instantly went numb, and fury and alarm surged through his heart.

Had Jun Moxiao eaten bear guts and leopard courage?!

But on second thought, Jun Moxiao did not know Lu Yuan's identity, so choosing to challenge him was understandable.

Thus, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Jun Moxiao, are you certain you wish to challenge the Divine Son?"

"Of course, and it will be a life-and-death battle!"

Jun Moxiao raised his head proudly. "Sacred Master, it is an ancestral rule of Chaos Sacred Land for the champion of the grand competition to challenge the Divine Son. No one can stop it. Of course, if the Divine Son refuses the challenge, that is fine too. However, according to the rules, if the Divine Son refuses, it counts as a voluntary admission of defeat."

"Presumptuous!"

The Chaos Sacred Master flew into a rage at once. The aura of a Half-step Marquis burst forth, and terrifying pressure spread throughout the Battle Arena.

"What a temper the Sacred Master has!"

Third Elder Nangong Cheng's voice sounded at that moment.

Nangong Cheng looked at the Chaos Sacred Master and said with a faintly mocking smile, "Sacred Master, what was wrong with Moxiao's words?

"If there is nothing wrong with them, yet you are so furious, could it be that the Divine Son truly has an extraordinary relationship with you? Is that why you do not dare let the Divine Son accept the challenge?"

Chaos Sacred Land had a long heritage, and its internal relations were highly complex. It was not a place where the Sacred Master alone had the final say.

The people with the greatest authority in Chaos Sacred Land were, first, a group of old ancestors slumbering in the depths of the sacred land; then came the Sacred Master and the Elder Council; and after that, the Divine Son.

The Elder Council had the authority to impeach the Sacred Master.

One mountain could not accommodate two tigers. The conflict between the Elder Council and the Sacred Master had existed for a long time.

The Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder of Chaos Sacred Land were the core members of the Elder Council, as well as the three people with the deepest conflicts with the Sacred Master.

"Nangong... you!"

The Chaos Sacred Master was nearly driven mad with rage, yet he could not refute the other party's words.

He cautiously glanced at the calm Lu Yuan, his heart trembling with unease, unsure of what to do.

Just as the Chaos Sacred Master was caught in a dilemma, Lu Yuan's voice transmission entered his ears.

"Don't force yourself. I'll accept the challenge. Today is my first appearance, and I happen to need someone to establish my authority."

Hearing this, the Chaos Sacred Master immediately let out a breath of relief, and the pressure on him greatly diminished.

"Yes, Young Master Lu."

The Chaos Sacred Master spoke respectfully, then calmly sat down. Looking toward the elders' section, his eyes carried both pity and a touch of schadenfreude.

Those fools from the Elder Council usually oppose me, and that is one thing. But now they actually dare act so recklessly before Young Master Lu. There is a path to heaven, yet they refuse to take it; there is no gate to hell, yet they insist on throwing themselves inside.

I have done all I can and made my stance clear. Even if Nangong Cheng truly angers Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu should not blame me for it.

Jiang Cang thought to himself.

"I accept your challenge."

Lu Yuan looked at Jun Moxiao, his gaze calm and devoid of joy or anger.

Seeing Lu Yuan accept the challenge, Jun Moxiao's face lit up with delight. He said arrogantly,

"Good. It seems you are not a useless eunuch after all. Since that is the case, I will not bully you. I'll let you make the first three moves. After three moves, I'll strike. That way, when I defeat you, you won't refuse to accept it."

Jun Moxiao was incomparably confident. In truth, aside from suffering setbacks in his hometown, he had never known how to write the word fear. Even when facing opponents far above his cultivation realm, Jun Moxiao had never been afraid. He had even defeated them in battle.

Like most people, Jun Moxiao also believed Lu Yuan's reputation was undeserved, so he feared him even less.

The moment such arrogant words were spoken.

The countless disciples in the Battle Arena erupted exactly as expected.

"Saint Jun truly has great courage! He actually dares let the Divine Son make the first three moves in a life-and-death battle. Does he really look down on the Divine Son that much?"

"Hmph, I think that is perfectly normal. Divine Son? He is just someone who got in through the back door. How could he compare with Saint Jun? Saint Jun fought his way to his position as a Holy Son himself."

"What do you think the Divine Son will do when faced with such obvious humiliation?"

While all the disciples discussed the matter fervently.

Lu Yuan merely frowned slightly.

It was not because of Jun Moxiao's words, nor was it because of the disciples' discussion.

A Kunpeng soaring through the nine heavens would never care about the words of ants.

Lu Yuan was only considering how much power he needed to use to crush Jun Moxiao to death in a single move without frightening the other Children of Destiny.
