Flick of the Finger's Might, the Heavenly Pride Rankings' Many Prodigies

"Jun Wangyou?!"

The crowd erupted in a clamor!

Following Li Jianxing's gaze, they all looked towards a corner.

Then, the crowd was stunned.

They saw a figure in white robes sitting on a small stool at a roadside breakfast stall.

He was slurping a bowl of beef noodles in front of him, and holding a meat bun in his other hand.

Hearing the question, the white-robed figure looked up slightly and mumbled, "Mmm hmm... it's okay, wait for me to finish eating."

After speaking, the figure lowered his head and continued eating.

He completely ignored the shock and astonishment of the countless gazes around him.

Around them, many disciples from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land covered their faces with their hands.

I'm too embarrassed to face anyone! (T_T)

In the city, on the top floor of the tallest restaurant, in a private room.

Nine youths, whose demeanor and attire were both extraordinary, were silently observing the scene.

If anyone knowledgeable were present, they would surely cry out in shock.

Because these nine people were none other than the nine peerless prodigies from the top ten of the Prodigy Rankings!

Except for Li Jianxing, all of the top ten on the Prodigy Rankings were here.

And they were:

First on the Prodigy Rankings, Qi Chengxian.

Second on the Prodigy Rankings, Lu Xingyun.

Third on the Prodigy Rankings, Feng Wushuang.

Fourth on the Prodigy Rankings, Xuanyuan Bantian.

Fifth on the Prodigy Rankings, Gu Xingchen.

Sixth on the Prodigy Rankings, Baili Yue.

Seventh on the Prodigy Rankings, Ouyang Ruitian.

Eighth on the Prodigy Rankings, Zhuge Wushuang.

Ninth on the Prodigy Rankings, Long Zhantian.

In addition to these nine, two figures with extremely terrifying auras stood quietly before them.

"He's quite an interesting fellow. Is he looking down on Li Jianxing, or does he think his death is imminent and has decided to die with a full stomach?"

Lu Xingyun, second on the Prodigy Rankings, said with a smile.

"Who knows? This guy is a monstrous talent who broke the Eternal Extreme Realm in the Qi Refining Realm. Perhaps he simply doesn't think much of Li Jianxing,"

Xuanyuan Bantian, fourth on the Prodigy Rankings, said somewhat sarcastically.

"Xuanyuan Bantian, if I understand you correctly, you don't think much of the Eternal Extreme Realm that Jun Wangyou broke?"

At this moment, Qi Chengxian, dressed in a gray-white robe with similarly gray-white hair, asked softly.

Xuanyuan Bantian froze. He had forgotten that the record Jun Wangyou broke was set by Qi Cangtian, and it was Qi Cangtian he had surpassed.

If he were to say he didn't think much of it, wouldn't that mean he thought even less of Qi Cangtian?

Instantly, Xuanyuan Bantian broke out in a cold sweat and turned to chuckle awkwardly, "A slip of the tongue, Brother Chengxian. Please forgive me."

"Hmph! Watch what you say. If there's a next time, don't blame me for not warning you." Qi Chengxian gave Xuanyuan Bantian a cold glance.

"Yes, yes."

Xuanyuan Bantian felt a wave of relief.

Although he was fourth on the Prodigy Rankings, seemingly not far from first place, he knew better than anyone that Qi Chengxian, ranked first, was an absolute monster!

He couldn't even last one move against him!

Even Lu Xingyun, ranked second, couldn't last ten moves against him.

He was a complete monster!

In their minds, Qi Chengxian was the undisputed number one prodigy in the Xuan Domain!

In the room, the other prodigies glanced at Xuanyuan Bantian with amusement.

Xuanyuan Bantian was furious, but he didn't vent his anger on the spot.

Instead, he turned and glared fiercely at Jun Wangyou, who was still eating beef noodles by the roadside.

"It's all your fault, you damned fellow! You'd better be alive so I can personally beat you to death!"

Before the prodigies, the two figures with extremely terrifying auras were conversing.

"Senior Brother, can you see through it?"

"No, I can't."

"Even you can't see through it, Senior Brother. It seems this little fellow has a secret."

On the other side, on the battle stage, Li Jianxing's expression immediately sank upon hearing Jun Wangyou's nonchalant words. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll wait for you!"

Millions of people in Hundred Battles City were now waiting for Jun Wangyou to finish his noodles. No one urged him, and no one made a sound. Everyone was quietly awaiting this earth-shattering battle.

A moment later, Jun Wangyou finally finished his noodles at a leisurely pace. He took out a piece of paper and wiped his mouth. Then, Jun Wangyou's figure instantly vanished!

Aside from the two figures with extremely terrifying auras on the highest floor of the restaurant, no one saw how Jun Wangyou disappeared!

On the battle stage, Li Jianxing's eyes were filled with shock, and a chilling sensation surged from the depths of his heart. "When did that happen!"

Li Jianxing found it hard to believe, and he was unwilling to believe it. He couldn't even see how Jun Wangyou had disappeared!

"Are you the one who wants to challenge me? Are you that bored?" Jun Wangyou's calm voice came from behind Li Jianxing.

Li Jianxing turned around, his eyes filled with unprecedented solemnity. He had to admit that he had underestimated Jun Wangyou's strength! The world had also severely underestimated Jun Wangyou's strength. This kind of strength could definitely rank in the top five of the prodigy rankings!

"Which bastard ranked him eleventh!? I'll go to your mother's!" Li Jianxing cursed inwardly. If Jun Wangyou hadn't been ranked eleventh, he might not have challenged him.

Jun Wangyou tilted his head, calmly looking at Li Jianxing before him. "Let's hurry this up. I'll let you have three moves, and then we'll be done." Jun Wangyou said very calmly, as if he were stating the most ordinary of matters.

"Alright!" Li Jianxing's gaze was solemn, and he didn't say much more. Who would win and who would lose would only be known after the fight. He wasn't the type to give up without doing anything.

Li Jianxing tightly gripped the Seven Star Dragon Abyss in his hand, and his sword rose, stirring up wind and thunder! "Seven Stars - Abyssal Slash!" Li Jianxing shouted, and slashed his sword towards Jun Wangyou. As he swung his sword, a hundred-meter-long sword energy shaped like a celestial dragon roared towards Jun Wangyou.

"Roar!" The power was terrifying. This strike could hard-counter a cultivator in the Early Stage of Spirit Transformation.

"Unfortunately, it's not enough." Jun Wangyou had no intention of dodging. He calmly flicked his finger. The celestial dragon sword energy was instantly shattered. The terrifying force, following the fragmented celestial dragon sword energy, spread to the Seven Star Dragon Abyss sword in Li Jianxing's hand, emitting a metallic clang.

"Clang!" Li Jianxing's arm vibrated, and the Seven Star Dragon Abyss almost fell to the ground.

"Whoa!" The surroundings erupted in an uproar, and countless cultivators stared at this scene with wide eyes. They couldn't believe that Jun Wangyou had shattered the sword energy, which was comparable to a strike from a Spirit Transformation cultivator, with just a flick of his finger!

In the restaurant, all the prodigies' eyes widened, and they leaned forward. "This is interesting." Qi Chengxian's eyes flashed. He knew that he himself could not shatter Li Jianxing's strike with a flick of his finger. This made him extremely interested in Jun Wangyou.

The others were horrified. They hadn't expected Jun Wangyou to be so powerful!

Xuanyuan Bantian's expression was extremely grim, his thoughts unknown.

On the stage, Li Jianxing stared blankly at his sword, filled with self-doubt.

In the past, aside from the nine prodigies ranked higher than him.

He had always ended his fights with others in a single strike.

And now, his most serious sword strike had been blocked so easily?!

And it was done with a dismissive flick of a finger.

He hadn't even felt any Spiritual Power fluctuations from Jun Wangyou.

This meant that the flick was genuinely just a flick, not some Dao technique or divine ability.

Li Jianxing's mentality shattered!

"Are you still going to fight?"

Jun Wangyou asked, no longer wanting to continue. It was too boring.

He was confused. How could someone with Li Jianxing's strength dare to challenge him?

Was his life that cheap?

Are you still going to fight?

The three words echoed in Li Jianxing's ears like a demonic chant.

Clang!

The Seven Star Dragon Abyss fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Are you still going to fight? Fight my ass!

Li Jianxing understood clearly that continuing would only be self-humiliation.

But when he remembered the conditions in his challenge letter – to cripple his own cultivation and shout "I am trash" three times – Li Jianxing's face turned pale.

However, he didn't hesitate. Instead, he gathered Spiritual Power in his palm and resolutely struck towards his own dantian!

"No need."

Jun Wangyou flicked a finger, a wisp of Spiritual Power interrupting Li Jianxing's attempt to cripple himself.

Li Jianxing looked up, gazing at Jun Wangyou with confusion.

Jun Wangyou looked back, his eyes flickering slightly, and transmitted his voice: "You don't need to cripple your cultivation, but I have three conditions. They aren't too much, are they?"

"You say them."

A great weight lifted from Li Jianxing's heart. Of course, he was willing if he didn't have to cripple his cultivation.

Jun Wangyou slowly said, "First, I want one million Spirit Stones."

"Second, I want you to serve me for a hundred years."

"Third, I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I do."

"How are these three conditions?"

Li Jianxing fell silent. After a moment, he said in a low voice, "Alright."

"Within three days, bring the Spirit Stones to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land and find me."

Jun Wangyou said lightly, then vanished.

On the stage, only Li Jianxing remained.

The surrounding onlookers still didn't know what had happened, looking utterly bewildered.

They had been waiting for a spectacular battle.

It ended so abruptly?

What a joke?

And even if it ended, what about the aftermath?

Didn't he say he was going to cripple his cultivation? They were waiting for that!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Jianxing ignored them and walked off the stage dejectedly.

The white-haired ancestor of the Hundred Stars Sect immediately stepped forward, asking with concern, "Jianxing, are you alright?"

Li Jianxing looked at his concerned ancestor, gave a pale smile, and shook his head: "I'm fine. I just agreed to three conditions."

"It's good that you're alright. It's good that you're alright. The conditions don't matter as long as you're unharmed."

The white-robed ancestor didn't think too much about it; he just wanted Li Jianxing to be safe.

He had watched Li Jianxing grow up; they were like grandfather and grandson.

Then, the two supported each other and left Hundred Battles City.

From the restaurant, Meng Changtian turned around and asked the nine prodigies in front of him, "What do you think?"

He was one of those two terrifying figures.

Qi Chengxian spoke first, his eyes solemn. "Very strong! As expected of the person who pushed my Grandmaster off the Extreme Dao Heavenly Stele."

"What about the others?"

Meng Changtian looked at the others again.

No one spoke. It was clear they were unwilling to admit Jun Wangyou was stronger than them, yet also unwilling to lie, so they remained silent.

Meng Changtian chuckled and didn't say much more. He turned to his junior sister, Bai Ningxin, and said seriously, "This young man must be recruited into our sect. Keeping him here would be a waste of his talent."

Bai Ningxin nodded. "I understand."
