The boy who was called out, dressed in exotic clothing with a Gu pot hanging from his waist, slowly raised his eyebrows.
Lin Xingzhou, clad in bright silver soft armor, leaped onto the arena a step ahead of him, exuding arrogance and confidence. He didn't even bother to extend his hand, merely casually raising his chin.
"Let's fight!"
Extremely arrogant and utterly contemptuous.
Everyone was shocked by the audacity of his actions.
Jing Zang is currently ranked third among all the prodigies. He is at the Heavenly Profound Realm Second Heaven Perfection and is extremely skilled in using Gu worms. In combat, he is definitely a master of poison, making him impossible to guard against. In fact, it can be said that he is even more troublesome than the first and second place.
But when he thought about how the person who had provoked him was Lin Xingzhou, the shock didn't seem so important anymore.
This person is one of the biggest dark horses of this tournament, a major upset in this year's Seven Kingdoms Grand Competition...
Perhaps, they have some trump card up their sleeve?
Despite their thoughts, knowing that these three had indeed performed admirably before, everyone was just joking and didn't really think they could win. After all, it was Jing Zang!
Jing Zang found it even more amusing, and a slightly gloomy, cold smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Trying to establish your authority by using me? Ha... You've got the wrong person."
He accepted Lin Xingzhou's challenge without hesitation.
He admitted that this person's previous record was indeed remarkable, but he, Jing Zang, was not one of the small fry this person had encountered before.
He will make the other party realize that blind arrogance comes at a price.
However, despite harboring such thoughts, Jing Zang was... thoroughly slapped in the face.
It wasn't just him.
Everyone who held this view felt a burning pain on their face the next moment when they saw Jing Zang being knocked away and rolling off the stage.
" Jing Zang actually lost?"
"This Lin Xingzhou is only at the Heavenly Profound Realm First Level..."
"I didn't even see how Lin Xingzhou made his move... It was too fast!"
Originally, everyone thought that Lin Xingzhou was over; they couldn't possibly... continue down the dark path forever, could they?
But now, even Jing Zang, one of the top geniuses in the seven kingdoms, has been defeated by him, and... so easily at that...
Clearly, the two are not on the same level at all!
This is outrageous.
A sense of shock spread among the crowd.
Lin Xingzhou on the stage, however, was not very satisfied. He stretched his shoulders slightly, turned his head and looked around the crowd, and finally locked onto his target.
"You, come up here!"
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and gasped in shock.
This dark horse, who broke through the encirclement and replaced Jing Zang in third place, not only did not stop, but became even more arrogant!
The person he was referring to was none other than the runner-up!
All those who participate in the Seven Kingdoms Grand Competition are exceptional talents.
Since they are all prodigies, they all have their own pride.
Being used as a stepping stone by others would make anyone, let alone a prodigy, feel uncomfortable.
Those who are named will naturally not obediently hand over their ranking.
He charged forward in a rage...
Then, filled with lingering anger, he rolled down.
Lin Xingzhou, two wins!
"Ha!"
On stage, Lin Xingzhou, who had just kicked his opponent away, laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his laughter extremely sarcastic.
"That's hilarious! Haha, did you guys see that? When he fell down, he looked just like a turtle!"
Such an insult nearly drove the challenged prodigy to charge forward and fight him to the death.
However, since he was knocked off the stage, there was no reason for him to go back up unless he chose to challenge Lin Xingzhou. But a challenge between the two could only be held once and could not be repeated.
Therefore, even though he felt deeply humiliated, he could only endure it, clenching his fists tightly to prevent himself from looking at Lin Xingzhou's face.
Let alone him, even others would find Lin Xingzhou's irritating appearance a bit unbearable.
One reason is that the other party is too arrogant, and the other is that the other party has the power to do whatever they want!
This dark horse has truly emerged victorious!
Moreover, they intend to go all the way down the dark path.
After laughing enough, Lin Xingzhou wiped away his tears, stopped laughing, and beckoned downwards with his finger.
"Hey you, come up here yourself. I'm tired of sitting in second place."
After winning second place, Lin Xingzhou's choice was...
Keep the challenge going!
Challenge, number one -- Shi Ming!
Shi Ming, a top-tier prodigy at the Heavenly Profound Third Heaven Realm, is a strong favorite to win the Shi Ming!
Even though Lin Xingzhou treated him with such contempt, Shi Ming was not angry.
He calmly walked onto the stage, his gaze indifferent as he looked at the other person.
"Your skills are not bad."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xingzhou sneered repeatedly.
Do you know what I hate most?
Shi Ming could reply, Lin Xingzhou launched a fierce attack.
His offensive and the rest of his words were delivered together.
What I hate most is the arrogant face of you guys!
"Die--!"
Shi Ming didn't care about Lin Xingzhou's arrogant words at all. He scoffed mockingly, his contemptuous gaze unchanged. Just as he was about to say something, he quickly sensed something was wrong when he met Lin Xingzhou's attack.
No, absolutely not!
Impressive!
This guy possesses a strength completely at odds with his arrogant and foolish appearance!
Not only was his Spiritual Power incredibly pure and condensed, but every move he made was also skillful and experienced, and his attacks were like a raging storm.
We can't tough it out!
Shi Ming's expression changed, and he retreated without hesitation.
But his retreat was a series of consecutive steps, and he was steadily suppressed by Lin Xingzhou.
Everyone watching was completely dumbfounded.
Shi Ming... is actually at a disadvantage!?
This... this is impossible!
The attacks on the arena changed in an instant, and after only a few breaths, a muffled sound rang out.
Bang!
A figure was flung off the stage and landed heavily on the ground.
The person's face was... Shi Ming!
"Wh-what!?"
" Shi Ming? How could it be Shi Ming?"
" Shi Ming actually lost? Impossible! Where did this dark horse come from? He actually defeated Shi Ming! Isn't he a bit too monstrous?"
Is he really at the Heavenly Profound First Level?
On stage, Lin Xingzhou raised his hand and ran it through his hair, brushing his messy hair back. Hearing this, he burst into laughter.
"Of course I'm a genuine first- Heavenly Profound First Level cultivator, but there are differences even among Heavenly Profound Heavenly Profound, you bunch of idiots!"
"Your so-called prodigies, Heavenly Profound, are like Shashiwales before us, your fellow disciples—utterly insignificant!"
"Hahaha, trash! You couldn't even withstand one of my attacks. You're utterly useless."
"Let me tell you the truth, my strength ranks last among my fellow disciples. It's laughable, utterly laughable. I thought you could excite me, but you're just a bunch of good-for-nothings with empty boasts."
Lin Xingzhou was sharp-tongued and extremely contemptuous, hurling insults and curses at everyone.
Looking at Lin Xingzhou, who was full of energy on the stage, and hearing the humiliation in their ears, everyone clenched their fists in anger. But when they looked at Shi Ming and the other two who had already been defeated, a sense of fear suddenly arose in their hearts.
Shi Ming was already very strong, but he still lost to Lin Xingzhou...
Is there really no one who can teach this person a lesson?
"You're too arrogant."
Just as everyone was filled with resentment and fear, a detached voice rang out, followed by a young girl carrying a guqin, who gracefully appeared on the stage.
She lightly plucked the strings, and a clear, melodious sound rose from the strings. At the same time, Yunyi slowly raised her head, the guqin she was holding partially obscuring her face, revealing only half of her slightly curved red lips.
"Let me see what kind of strength you have to utter such arrogant words!"
