The Prodigies War

Boom!

The Dao Refining Battle Spirit that was made up of countless grains of golden sand came charging violently at Lin Xun like a golden-clad god of war.

Terrifying battle spirit raged around it like a hurricane. It was clearly not a real living creature, yet it was able to manipulate astonishing daos and techniques.

For example, at that moment, it threw a punch with a force that was comparable to a roaring murky-yellow dragon unleashing destruction upon everything in its way.

Vaguely, it even showed signs of condensing a Great Dao Field!

This surprised Lin Xun.

From what he knew, Dao Refining Battle Spirits were only formed from a mysterious power of the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda

Even so, the Dao Refining Battle Spirit in front of him was close to becoming a real living person!

Bang!

While Lin Xun was analyzing his opponent, he thrust his palm forward, crushing the blast of force from the punch like rotten wood. Then, he vanished from the spot and reappeared in front of the battle spirit, following up with another mighty punch.

A muffled explosion sounded. The Dao Refining Battle Spirit that was like a real supreme Saint-King was smashed under Lin Xun’s punch.

Amid the dispersing yellow sand, Lin Xun furrowed his brows. He sharply noticed a mysterious power dissipating and merging into the world of the pagoda.

“That must be the power of the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda...” Lin Xun thought.

Without wasting any time, he continued onwards.

The next moment, the yellow sand swept up again and another Dao Refining Battle Spirit formed.

Boom!

It sped across the air with terrifying killing intent.

This time, Lin Xun made a grabbing motion, activating the power of his Great Dao Field. The palm of his hand became like a bottomless abyss as he caught hold of the Dao Refining Battle Spirit.

Bang!

The huge golden body of the Dao Refining Battle Spirit exploded into swirling yellow sand.

At the same time, the force around Lin Xun’s palm madly swallowed up an obscure and mysterious power before it could merge into the world.

Then, an unusual warm current transformed into pure mysterious power and rushed into Lin Xun’s body.

A thought struck Lin Xun and he quickly activated the technique of tempering the Five Viscera Spirit Embryo. The mysterious power immediately coursed into his heart, driving the Red Flame Spirit Embryo that was being raised inside to improve at a speed visibly to the naked eye!

“What kind of power is this? How can it have such a wonderful tempering effect?” Lin Xun exclaimed.

Cultivation base could be improved with aeth qi and divine herbs.

Grand dao could be grasped and controlled when one comprehended the power of the great dao of heaven and earth.

Martial dao could be honed and improved by studying dao scriptures and by relying on one’s own comprehension.

Ever since Lin Xun started cultivating, he had never heard of any kind of power that could directly elevate one’s martial dao cultivation!

Unbelievable!

“Perhaps, this mysterious power comes from the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda...” Lin Xun’s dark eyes gleamed.

He did not hope for much in the second round except for passing it within the time limit of two hours.

But now, he saw an opportunity!

By killing Dao Refining Battle Spirits, he could obtain a mysterious power that improved his martial dao cultivation!

“Let’s go!”

Lin Xun continued onwards, and when he encountered the third Dao Refining Battle Spirit, he treated it the same way as he did with the previous. At the same time of killing the opponent, he activated the power of his Great Dao Field to devour the remnants of mysterious power.

Sure enough, his Red Flame Spirit Embryo was further tempered!

“If I can continue like this, by the time I reach the ninth level, I might be able to forge the Red Flame Dao Body...” He quivered with excitement.

He wasted no time and moved full speed ahead.

……

Inside the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda.

On the same first level, the Yellow Sand Secret Realm, Lu Dubu was traveling incredibly fast like flashes of light.

Along the way, whenever a Dao Refining Battle Spirit obstructed him, he would kill and crush them with a wave of his sleeve.

He did not even spare them another glance after that, as if he was in a hurry.

As the current number one disciple of Great Void Sect, Lu Dubu was naturally aware that after killing a Dao Refining Battle Spirit, he could absorb its mysterious power, which had an wonderful effect on improving one’s martial dao.

But he was not bothered.

In other words, he looked down on the Dao Refining Battle Spirits on the first level of the pagoda.

His plan was to reach the ninth level of the pagoda in the shortest possible time, and then hunt for Dao Refining Battle Spirits there, because those were endowed with the most powerful and amazing mysterious power!

He had an advantage from being a disciple of Great Void Sect—He knew in advance some insider information that others were unaware of.

The second round seemed like a fair competition, but it wasn’t quite true.

……

“Hey, this power is interesting...”

Meanwhile, Xie Yuhua’s eyes brightened. She also sensed the wonders of the mysterious power.

“Haha, it’s actually good for improving martial dao!

“No wonder this Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda is a treasure born from an uncharted land.

“I must not waste any time!”

As time went by, peerless figures such as Wang Tu and Yuan He also noticed the mysterious power that lingered after Dao Refining Battle Spirits were killed.

Their interest was aroused and they went all out to collect them.

As for the other cultivators, they were still completely unaware of this.

This was not because their eyes were not sharp enough, but because they were already put under a lot of stress when killing a Dao Refining Battle Spirit, so how would it cross their minds that the Dao Refining Battle Spirit would retain its mysterious powers after death?

Above Immortal Martial Peak, on the jade platform suspended in the sky.

The influential figures who had been watching the situation in the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda had intrigued looks on their faces.

Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Guan Xu, what are the youngsters collecting?”

Many people looked curious.

Guan Xu did not try to hide it from them either, and said with a slight smile. “Martial Dao Origin Power, a mysterious power that accumulates in the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda. If absorbed, it can enhance and improve one’s martial dao cultivation.”

Everyone gasped audibly.

A power that can improve martial dao cultivation?

This is incredibly rare and would be invaluable!

“Brother Guan Xu, how generous of you!”

Many people sighed with deep emotions.

Guan Xu said nonchalantly, “These disciples are cultivators of our Cloud State. They have already demonstrated extraordinary qualities by being qualified to participate in the second round of selections. I am just giving them a little opportunity. Just see it as a little gift from our Great Void Sect to those young cultivators.”

His beautiful words proved that he was a man of great vision.

As expected of the number one sect of Cloud State. The other influential figures present had to acknowledge their inferiority.

“Look, only a short while has passed since it started, but Lu Dubu is already on the second level!” someone gasped.

All of a sudden, all eyes shifted back onto the huge light screen.

Lu Dubu was indeed ahead of everyone else. He raced into the secret realm on the second level of the pagoda like a horse vanishing in a cloud of dust.

Following behind him was neither Xie Yuhua or Wang Tu, but Wu Huang from Phantasm Empyrean Island!

This surprised many important figures, making their gazes change when they looked at the island chief of Phantasm Empyrean Island, Daoist Lan, again.

It should be noted that Phantasm Empyrean Island was only ranked fourth among the seven major factions in Cloud State. Its disciples were extraordinary, but the majority was still inferior to peerless figures such as Xie Yuhua and Wang Tu.

But now, Wu Huang from Phantasm Empyrean Island was actually on the heels of Lu Dubu!

Xie Yuhua and Wang Tu were also not too far behind them!

Of course, this was just a comparison of speed, and not based on strength. Even so, Wu Huang’s performance had impressed the audience.

“Everyone, take a look at Jin Duyi. He is currently still considered fast, but he can’t be called outstanding. I really don’t know how he won ninety-nine consecutive matches. He is not living up to his illustrious reputation.”

Daoist Lan from Phantasm Empyrean Island suddenly remarked with a hint of mocking in his tone of voice.

It was just a comment about a junior and none of the influential figures present was bothered by it, but unexpectedly, Heng Xiao from Xuanji Dao Sect suddenly retorted.

“Daoist Lan, the challenge has just begun. It’s too early to speak.”

His voice was calm, but it was tinged with hostility.

Daoist Lan sneered, “Oh, then I really want to see how amazing Jin Duyi would perform in the end.”

Heng Xiao’s face remained expressionless and he paid no more attention to him.

Everyone present was accustomed to this. They were all aware of the grudge between Xuanji Dao Sect and Phantasm Empyrean Island so they were not surprised.

At this moment, Lin Xun had also entered the second floor of the pagoda—Molten Secret Realm!

It was a fiery-red world with rapidly flowing rivers of lava crisscrossing and tongues of fire dancing about, setting the universe aflame.

The Dao Refining Battle Spirit distributed here were like lava giants. Whether it was in bearing or combat strength, they were much stronger than the Dao Refining Battle Spirits on the first level of the pagoda.

To pass this level, participants first had to kill eight Dao Refining Battle Spirits.

Fortunately, this was nothing to Lin Xun. He crushed all opponents that appeared, almost eliminating each one in one move.

His final harvest was a total of eight Martial Dao Origin Power!

As Lin Xun felt the clear transformation of the Red Flame Spirit Embryo in his heart, excitement fluttered inside him. He had never thought that he would encounter such an amazing opportunity in the second round of selection.

Without wasting any time, he entered the third level.

However, he was not the first one to reach here. Lu Dubu, Wu Huang, Xie Yuhua and others had already arrived.

The reason for this was because Lin Xun was more focussed about the changes of the Red Flame Spirit Embryo and cared little about his speed in the competition.

All his thoughts were on passing the levels and gathering Martial Dao Origin Power.

……

“In seven and a half minutes, nineteen people reached the third floor.”

Outside the pagoda, an influential figure made an accurate deduction. The others nearby looked surprised.

Among the nineteen people, there were disciples from the seven major factions, as well as top figures from the ten participating zones, such as Su Muhan, Jin Duyi and Lan Yunke.

The other nine hundred odd people were still on the first and second levels.

Around four hundred were still stuck on the first floor. Some influential figures reckoned that most of them were likely to be eliminated!

As time went by, Lu Dubu’s performance caught the attention of all the influential figures.

“Lu Dubu has reached the fourth level!”

“He is again the first to reach the fifth level!”

“The sixth level!”

Just when half an hour passed, many influential figures were astonished to see that Lu Dubu was again the first to advance into the sixth level.

Even Guan Xu was surprised for a moment, and then he smiled knowingly. This kid Dubu is likely going to be unrivaled again!
