The Prodigies War-Chapter 2770 Admitting Defeat

Mao Qiu left in a huff. He was too ashamed to stay after being humiliated and then ignored by Lin Xun in front of everyone. Meanwhile, the newly selected challenger’s scalp tightened as his expression turned rigid.

He was called Zu Tianyou and hailed from the Eight Heaven Domain’s Zu Clan, which was one of the Ten Immortal Giants. His cultivation was at the perfect Heaven Longevity Stage. Moreover, it was a realm he had steadily consolidated for several thousand years, making his foundations extremely solid and strong.

In terms of actual battle power, he maintained a slight edge over even the likes of Jing Qingjia. Zu Tianyou took a deep breath and asked in a solemn voice, "Lin Xun, do you dare to decide the battle in one move?"

One move! It was a tremendously restrictive condition that would most likely end in a draw.

"Is he striving for a draw through this method? How cunning!"

Many voices rang out, guessing Zu Tianyou's intentions. There were even hints of contempt on several people’s faces.

One move. If Zu Tianyou focused purely on defense, it might truly be impossible to decide a winner. Surprisingly, however, Lin Xun agreed.

"Sure." His casual response was borderline nonchalant. Zu Tianyou was secretly overjoyed. He felt much more relaxed now, certain that he was more than capable of withstanding a single move.

"Good, don’t you dare go back on your word!"

With that, Zu Tianyou leaped onto the arena. His gaze was sharp and fierce, while his body brimmed with confidence. Mao Qiu, who had left in embarrassment earlier, began to feel regretful when he saw this. Why hadn’t he thought of trying to force a draw?

Zu Tianyou was so devious!

"Kill!”

Zu Tianyu immediately made his move. The best defense was offense! His lean figure charged forth as blade-like, black armor scales surged across his skin. They were made from a ninth grade Heaven Rank law and possessed both offensive and defensive capabilities.

In an instant, his entire body was covered in a layer of scale armor, from which black mist rose like steam. Divine Providence Armor! It was an unparalleled divine technique that embodied the fusion of his talent, cultivation, and law power.

In his left hand was a round bronze shield with numerous Immortal dao runes engraved upon it, while his right hand grasped a long blade that gleamed like snow in the sun.

Yin-Yang Fish Shield!

Desolate Breaker Blade!

They were a set of Immortal dao weapons for offense and defense. Together, sword and shield operated like the Taiji cycle to draw in and neutralize attacks one after one, achieving a far higher level of effectiveness than when used alone. On the other hand, they could also unleash fierce attacks like blades sweeping across the nine desolates!

In the blink of an eye, Zu Tianyou was practically armed to the teeth. He activated all of his trump cards and pushed them to the limits of their power, startling several of the watching bigwigs. Almost at the same time, Lin Xun made his move.

Omm!

The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron emerged, its plain cauldron body surrounded by billions of drifting dao lights as it rose into the sky with Lin Xun.

Crack!

When the sword cauldron and the Yin-Yang Fish Shield collided, the latter’s surface instantly erupted with cracks as it exploded with a deafening boom. The Immortal dao weapon had crumpled even faster than paper mache!

At the same time, a dao sword shot out from the mouth of the cauldron and swung lightly.

Bang!

Zu Tianyou’s furiously chopping blade exploded in his hand, shattering to pieces that shot in all directions. The shield and sword were destroyed almost simultaneously. The impact sent him flying as blood spewed from his mouth and nose. It was as if he had been rammed by T-Rex from the prehistoric era, causing the bones in his body to grind and strain in agony.

Deeply horrified, he instinctively pushed the power of his Divine Providence Armor to an unprecedented extreme.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun's punch arrived. His fist descended like a divine mountain falling from the sky, wrapped in boundless power that could subdue even the heavens. Before Zu Tianyou could even begin to steady himself, he found himself being brutally hammered into the ground by that very fist.

Bang!!!

The arena shuddered violently. The hearts of the onlookers outside the arena trembled involuntarily as they were almost able to feel pain just from watching.

As the dust began to clear, Zu Tianyou was revealed sprawled on the ground, twitching madly as if he was suffering an epilepsy attack. The Divine Providence Armor covering him had been completely smashed apart, leaving his body bloodied and broken. Blood soaked into the ground as he subconsciously groaned in pain, his expression colored by agony...

Silence suffocated the area. The battle had started quickly and ended even faster. From Zu Tianyou attacking, to the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron breaking through his shield and sword, to Lin Xun slamming his fist into Zu Tianyou...these events had occurred in the mere blink of an eye.

That domineering and unrivaled punch seemed to have also struck everyone's hearts, causing their expressions to change. Many people couldn’t bear to look. There were also many who were frozen in shock.

Xuan Feiling smilingly commented, "We call this being too smart for your own good. He forced Lin Xun to fight with Immortal dao weapons only to suffer such a crushing defeat. If not for his mercy, that punch could have easily ended Zu Tianyou."

"Tragic, truly tragic. To think even he tried to force a draw by deciding the battle in one move. Look at him now...all he can do is twitch there, unable to get up."

Dugu Yong, Fang Daoping, and the other bigwigs of the Origin Sect laughed. They were feeling pretty good at the moment. On the viewing platform, the bigwigs’ faces had turned even graver.

Meanwhile, The Zu Clan elders felt their faces burn with shame.

Subdued in a single move!

It was an even more humiliating, pathetic, and ludicrous defeat than Xing Jun, Jing Qingjia, and Zhong Ying had suffered!

"Thank god I ain’t cunning..."

Mao Qiu, who had just been regretting his decision, felt incredibly grateful at the moment. After all, Zu Tianyou had been brutalized so badly that even he couldn’t bear to look. The entire Origin Sect was in a celebratory mood. This feeling...was simply awesome!

"Stop twitching and get lost so you can recuperate."

Lin Xun put away the sword cauldron and sighed softly in pity. On the ground, Zu Tianyou struggled quite a while more before finally he managed to climb to his feet and slink away in defeat.

“Next.”

Lin Xun looked at the next challenger. At this juncture, Xing Jun, Jing Qingjia, Zhong Ying, and Zu Tianyou had been defeated in succession, while Mao Qiu had also admitted defeat. Including Yu Fengzi, only four challengers remained.

However, apart from Yu Fengzi, the other three were no longer confident.

A woman bitterly said, "I concede."

She was from the Fu Clan of the Eighth Heaven Domain. Fu Wenli's face turned ugly at this scene. The woman was one of his juniors and was an extremely outstanding Heavenly Longevity expert.

Hence, her act of admitting defeat in front of everyone made him feel that his reputation was also being tarnished. However, he also understood that, while somewhat humiliating, it was the wisest choice at the moment.

"I concede."

"I also concede."

Two more challengers conceded one after another, sporting gloomy expressions filled with clear reluctance and shame. Lin Xun didn't make things difficult for them. He merely recorded the scene of them admitting defeat in a jade slip.

A commotion began to stir outside the arena. Everyone from the Origin Sect naturally had glowing faces painted with pride and joy. The atmosphere on the viewing platform, on the other hand, was depressingly heavy.

All the challengers, regardless of whether they were defeated or admitted defeat, were from the topmost powers in the world, such as the Shaman Sect and the Ten Immortal Giants.

With the exception of the Spirit Sect Ancestral Hall and a few other factions from the Seventh Heaven Domain, it could be said that Lin Xun had singlehandedly crushed every representative from the various factions that had come here!

An ancient one remarked under his breath, "Is this the power of the Eternal Supremacy Path..."

If the Eternal Supremacy Path was a legend, then that legend was now being fulfilled and proven by this Fangchun disciple. Although he was only at the mid Heavenly Longevity Stage, his strength seemed absolute even when facing opponents at the perfect Heavenly Longevity Stage. It was simply inconceivable!

"His dao weapon is amazing."

Someone sighed in admiration.

Lin Xun had finally brought out his sword cauldron earlier and it had displayed astounding power, destroying the Yin-Yang Fish Shield and shattering the Desolate Breaker Blade in one fell swoop. Its feats had naturally caught the attention of many bigwigs, leaving them rather astonished.

"This kid...heh...he’s certain to attract many disasters in the future." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Someone softly chuckled with a meaningful look in their eyes. The comment prodded the hearts of many bigwigs. The majority of the attending factions were hostile to Fangchun Mountain, and they had come to probe and feel out the extent of Lin Xun’s abilities.

Hence, the battle prowess he currently displayed caused waves of killing intent to well up from deep within them!

"That's still not his limit."

"Then we'll have to see if the Zen Sect Ancestral Court’s natural-born Buddha, Yu Fengzi, can give us a nice surprise."

"If Yu Fengzi wins, the so-called Eternal Supremacy Path will be nothing more than nonsense. If he loses...this will become a top priority matter..."

As the bigwigs conversed, their gazes turned one after another to the only remaining challenger, Yu Fengzi. At the same time, every gaze in the area also gradually converged towards Yu Fengzi.

Dressed in white monk robes, his presence felt clean, ethereal, and transcendent. His serene expression had remained unchanged even through all the previous battles.

Lin Xun casually said, "Your turn."

He could also tell that Yu Fengzi was extraordinary. At the very least, his mettle and aura were incomparable to any of the previous challengers. Yu Fengzi pressed his hands together and bowed before gracefully floating onto the stage.

"Dao Friend Lin, if this young monk wins, will you come with me to the Zen Sect Ancestral Court?"

Yu Fengzi's soft voice chimed like the morning bell. His question made everyone raise their eyebrows.

The many Origin Sect cultivators were triggered by his request. What the hell was this monk playing at? Was he trying to dig at their foundations?

How outrageous!

Xuan Feiling, Dugu Yong and the others couldn't help but frown.

However, Lin Xun laughed and said, "If you let me be the sect master of the Zen Sect, you won’t even have to win because I'll immediately agree. Otherwise, you'd best cast aside such thoughts and obediently focus on the fight."

As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Buddha Venerable Shiye. He suspected that the request had originated from the old baldy.

"Your condition isn’t impossible."

However, Shiye smiled faintly and said, "With your foundation and cultivation, you will have high hopes of leading the Zen Sect in the future if you join."

Everyone was bewildered.

"Hmph! Shiye, Lin Xun is the deputy deacon of my Origin Sect's Origin Sky Pavilion. How can he possibly enter your Zen Sect? You’d best stop with your ridiculous requests!"

Fang Daoping icily grunted. Even someone usually calm like him grew angry at this moment.

"Dao Friend, please quell your anger." Shiye spoke with an air of nonchalance as if he were discussing the weather.

Sure enough, he didn’t mention it again.

"Apologies for offending you."

In the arena, Yu Fengzi pressed his hands together, his dignified face neither sad nor happy.
