Boom!
Bai Lingshi was very beautiful and charming in manner. With outstanding cultivation, she was even blessed with the rare talent property of Starshine Eternal. Besides, she was the eldest granddaughter of Jinghai Marquis, so her family background was quite influential. In such cases, she deserved to be called the Favored Girl of God.
Many guys in the Bloodthirsty Camp fell under her spell. Even some childes of the similar origins were chasing after her.
No one dare to treat such a Goddess-like girl without proper respect.
However, Lin Xun accused Bai Lingshi of being a busybody, which enraged many people. In their views, Lin Xun didn’t know chalk from cheese and his behavior was a blasphemy to Bai Lingshi.
Even Shi Yu’s gaze became weird, and he murmured that Lin Xun’s action was equal to stirring up a hornet's nest!
Why did the old saying go: A beautiful woman is the Helen of Troy?
That was because charming women were always the hotspot of love, courtship as well as countless troubles.
“How dare you!”
Someone hadn’t held back their rebukes.
“You’re so impolite. You should apologize to Lady Lingshi as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won’t spare you!”
Many people followed suit, as if they were her bodyguards.
Lin Xun acted as if he hadn’t heard their words. Lin felt unreconciled to the result naturally, for he was 50% sure that he would defeat Shiao Kun. But, Bai Lingshi interrupted the fight, so it was impossible for Lin Xun to feel happy.
As for the uproar made by a bunch of indignant people, he treated it as a string of roaring barks from dogs.
To their surprise, Bai Lingshi stayed composed confronted with Lin’s query. She said calmly, “You have won, and I’ll ask Shiao Kun to give you those Condensate Pills wagered on this fight.”
Shiao Kun was in a trance with a trace of unwillingness in his heart, but he finally held himself back from speaking something else after he saw her ethereal and calm eyes.
Bai’s behavior immediately got a round of applaud. What was a gracious lady’s bearing?
That it was!
Compared with her, Lin Xun was quite narrow-minded!
However, Lin Xun seemed to lack this kind of awareness. Although he didn’t expect her decision, he said with his eyebrows wrinkled, “In addition to these, I also want that guy’s 1,000 Condensate Pills.” He pointed at Wang Wenyuan standing in the distance.
Immediately, Wang’s face darkened and became extremely sullen. Lin Xun was so insatiable. Did he really think that he was the winner?
Bai Lingshi said with a nod, “Give them to you, too.”
“Oh,” Lin Xun replied and then he said with a smile, “Very good. You’re sensible. I’m sorry for mistaking about you just now. Please don't mind.”
The people present felt depressed. How could he be so arrogant? Many people stifled the urge to beat him hard at the moment.
Bai Lingshi remained gracious and ethereal. Abruptly, she looked at Lin Xun and said, “After you reach the ninth level of the Martial Realm, I’ll come over to fight with you by myself.”
After that, she turned around and left without caring about his reply.
Lin Xun was in a daze, but deep down, he sighed that it was difficult to fool such a smart girl. Her appearance and interruption at this time not only saved Shiao’s face, but also won highly praise for her. More importantly, she mounted a challenge to him in the end, and he had to accept it.
However, Lin Xun was fearless. Although Bai Lingshi boasted unimaginably formidable combat effectiveness, he was also sure of himself and believed that he would become as powerful as her when he reached the ninth level.
The people present burst into an uproar.
It never occurred to them that Bai Lingshi’s appearance quickly led the battle between Shiao Kun and Lin Xun to end in this way.
Did Shiao Kun lose the battle?
No.
Bai Lingshi, by one sentence, pronounced a conclusion, which might not make all the people sincerely convinced. However, as the one concerned, Shiao Kun didn’t file a complaint, so the others had to keep silent, too.
But, what surprised them the most was the last words of Bai before she left. She mounted a challenge to Lin Xun!
It was so rare!
Some people thought that what Bai did was to help Shiao Kun save his face and to stop Lin Xun’s unscrupulous behavior.
Some others deemed that in Bai’s view, Lin Xun would be qualified to fairly fight with her in terms of combat effectiveness after he reached the ninth level. What she did was because of his impolite words to her.
Anyway, many people present looked forward to the day, because they were dying to see how Bai Lingshi would beat the living daylights out of Lin Xun, the contemptible scoundrel!
The news about the fight between Lin Xun and Shiao Kun soon went viral in the entire Bloodthirsty Camp. Although it ended up with Shiao Kun as the loser, few people agreed with the result.
After all, nobody could be sure who would be the final winner without Bai’s sudden involvement.
Nonetheless, Lin Xun’s tough combat effectiveness also attracted many people’s attention. A teenager at the eighth level of the Martial Realm could be a matched rival for Shiao Kun who was considered one of the top trainees, which was so unusual.
Owing to this, many doubts about whether Lin Xun lived up to his reputation as the top one in the quarterly assessment or not reduced.
In other words, his fight with Shiao Kun involuntarily helped him reduce many reproaches and criticisms.
In the meanwhile, the challenge launched by Bai Lingshi to Lin Xun also drew much attention. They furtively guessed why Bai did this. After all, she didn’t need to do this at all in view of her influential status, but she did this.
Regardless of the various discussions outside, Lin Xun had become famous at least in the Camp 39. Some people resented him, some were jealous of him, and some admired and envied him.
After all, he was definitely the most famous trainee in Camp 39 now.
…
Soon after the fight was over, Lin Xun was summoned and left the Camp 39. Afterward, he was taken by Shu Sanqi to enter a mysterious underground room.
With a small area, the room was literally a treasure warehouse with its four walls embedded with Moonlight Stones used for illumination. It could be seen clearly that rows of jade-made shelves were spread out, on which were books, elixirs, spiritual weapons and materials, as well as a variety of rare treasures.
“There are elixirs, manuals, spiritual weapons, as well as many items for assisting in cultivation. They may not be so precious, but they’re rare in the world. Since you win the first place in the quarterly assessment, you can choose one randomly,” said Shu Sanqi simply as usual without talking any nonsense.
With a nod, Lin Xun came up to have a careful look. First of all, he saw many cultivation manuals.
Green Spirit Manual, Purple Cloud Manual, Bloody-spirit Immortal Body, Thunder Toughness Scripture, Spirit-refining Manual, Universal Satisfaction Scripture...Each one had its own magic, and couldn’t be found in the trading market.
He carefully looked through the introduction to each manual. After a while, he finally shook his head. Compared with the other ordinary manuals, these were really first-class manuals. However, they were less powerful than Natural Insight & Spirit-Devour Scripture.
Subsequently, he glanced at the bottles of elixirs, including Green Spirit Elixir, Small Seven-orifices Elixir, Snow Ginseng Elixir, and Purple Jade-cloud Pill.
Shu Sanqi watched him and kept silent during the whole process.
However, when Lin Xun fixed his eyes on the various spiritual materials after looking through all the elixirs, Shu couldn’t help frowning, and then he said, “When facing many choices, you’d better choose the one that is the most suitable for you instead of the most valuable one.”
Lin Xun replied, “I know.”
Then, he continued to measure the other things with his eyes. But, till he looked through all the items in the room, he didn’t pick one out.
Shu Sanqi asked with a trace of sternness in his voice, “What on earth do you want?” He seemed to feel a repugnance to Lin’s behavior.
Turning his head around, Lin Xun said to Shu Sanqi with a smile, “Drillmaster Shu, I’ve heard from Old Mo that your armor with spiritual tattoo-Wolf Fang- suffered serious damage and that its repair work can’t be done until now. After learning about the details from Old Mo, I find it not difficult to be repaired.”
Shu Sanqi felt shocked in his heart. He fixed his sword-like sharp eyes on Lin Xun, wanting to confirm the truth of his remark.
If the others were stared at by him like that, they would be terrified. However, Lin Xun appeared not to notice it. With a smile, he pointed at several spiritual materials in the room and said, “After careful observation of these treasures, I by coincidence find that several ones are the key materials to repair armor. But, three more kinds of spiritual materials are needed.”
Shu Sanqi could not help but ask, “Which three?”
Lin Xun said, “The core of a 1,000-year Ghost-eye Vine, a pair of tusks of Devil Wolf in the Abyss, and the water of Golden Blood Spring in the geocentric magma.”
Hearing this, Shu Sanqi slightly narrowed his eyes. He had indeed heard of the three spiritual materials, but all of them were extremely precious and too rare to be seen in the trading market. They only came out by accident.
In spite of the force he possessed now, he couldn’t collect them all in a short time.
“Are you sure you can thoroughly fix my Wolf Fang after I can collect the three spiritual materials?” asked Shu Sanqi in a low voice after a long time.
“I only offer some ideas for reference, but I believe Old Mo can definitely do that,” said Lin Xun seriously.
Shu Sanqi fell into silence again. It seemed that this matter was really a shock for him, making him have to consider it carefully.
“I have got it. You choose your prize first,” said Shu with a poker face after a while.
Lin Xun smiled, randomly picked up one bottle of elixirs named Purple Jade-cloud Elixir, and said, “I’ve already made a decision. I choose this.”
Without saying anything more, Shu Sanqi turned and led Lin Xun to leave there.
Seemingly, Shu didn’t express his own thoughts on what Lin had said. However, Lin Xun was clear that Shu wouldn’t reject his proposal if Shu really deemed Wolf Fang important as his life just as what Old Mo had told to Lin.
…
In the evening, when returning to the warehouse of Old Mo, Lin Xun received 2,000 Condensate Pills that was worth 40,000 imperial silver coins, namely 200 imperial gold coins!
In the Bloodthirsty Camp, 6,000 accumulated points were needed to exchange for 2,000 Condensate Pills.
Thus it could be seen that Shiao Kun, Wang Wenyuan, and some other trainees who came together with them to pick this fight definitely paid a huge price.
Laying on the chair, Lin Xun lapsed into meditation, “A bottle of Purple Jade-cloud Elixirs and 2,000 Condensate Pills should be enough to support me to break through into the ninth level of the Martial Realm, shouldn’t them?”
