The Prodigies War

Chapter 1881: Your Grandpa

However, who would still think so now?

To be able to have severely damaged eight supreme Saint-King battle puppets so effortlessly… Was this something that just anyone could do?

Instantly, spectators who originally hadn’t taken him seriously began to pay attention to this young man named Jin Duyi.

Meanwhile, Dong Liushi’s face had become heavy and unsightly.

“No one has ever dared to underestimate me like this. You shall pay for your arrogance!” he said icily as he waved his sleeve, and a purple humanoid battle puppet appeared.

This humanoid puppet looked like it was made of polished purple jade. It was enveloped in a divine rain of light and had a shockingly ferocious aura.

Life-bound battle puppet!

Many people revealed strange expressions when they saw it.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, Dong Liushi swept into the purple battle puppet and fused with it.

Everyone could see him beginning to glow a violet gold color as a layer of crystalline armor covered him up from head to toe, while in his hand, the purple light had condensed into a dazzling spear.

The only uncovered part was his icy cold eyes.

At this moment, Dong Liushi exuded a monstrous purple radiance like a burning purple sun. His aura was horrifying.

This was the first time Lin Xun had seen a life-bound battle puppet. He immediately noticed Dong Liushi’s aura climbing a hefty chunk after the fusion. Although the other party’s cultivation was still at the advanced level of the Supreme Saint-King Stage, it was vaguely showing signs of reaching the peak level!

“Die!” roared Dong Liushi.

Like a deity, he swung his spear and slashed it down domineeringly.

The tip of the purple battle spear was dazzlingly sharp as it set off a surge of Law Power.

Many eyes narrowed as the spectators became focused.

Lin Xun, however, made no attempt to evade. He remained still like a lofty mountain that connected the ground to the sky, giving off a kind of ancient, immovable, and unshakeable feeling.

This was the aura of the Yellow Earth Dao Body!

When Dong Liushi approached with his spear, Lin Xun merely raised his hand and tapped a finger in the air.

Clang!

The purple spear trembled violently like it had been struck by lightning.

Dong Liushi only felt an infinite force coming at him, so overwhelming it sent him flying. The arm holding the spear went numb from the pain, and his blood churned.

Everyone who saw this froze in astonishment.

Dong Liushi was truly strong and dazzling. His battle tactics were earth-shattering and meteorologically extraordinary.

However, they were like loud thunderstorms being reduced to drizzles as Jin Duyi easily nullified them, creating an extremely strong visual contrast every time.

Only some experienced experts realized that it wasn’t that Dong Liushi was weak, but that Jin Duyi…was clearly more powerful!

“DIE!” Dong Liushi’s eyes burned like fire as fury took over him. He charged over like a lightning bolt, bringing with him a sea of purple haze.

No matter how powerful his attack was, however, it was always stopped by a light movement from Lin Xun!

It gave the impression that Dong Liushi was a ferocious beast trying to shake an ancient divine mountain, but every collision shattered its skull and sent it staggering back.

Many people gasped.

In particular, those who had placed heavy bets on Dong Liushi visibly paled because they would only receive lucrative payouts if he won ten consecutive matches.

If they lost the bet…then they would have to pay back with everything they had, even the clothes they were wearing!

“Battle Puppet Imaginarium!” Dong Liushi decisively deployed his Great Dao Field when he finally realized his dangerous situation.

Boom!

Strips of blinding white light appeared and were interwoven to create a small world.

Lin Xun’s eyes lit up. Instead of dodging, he rushed into it.

“Is Jin Duyi crazy?! He’ll be finished once he’s trapped inside the Great Dao Field!”

Many people’s eyes almost fell out. The audience struggled to believe there was someone in this world who was so tired of living that he took the initiative to deliver himself into a Great Dao Field dreaded by every other cultivator…

Even Dong Liushi was taken aback. Is it just me or is this guy really in a hurry to enter the reincarnation cycle?

Then, his lips curved into a sardonic smile as he didn’t bother thinking about it anymore. Seizing this opportunity, he operated his Great Dao Field to the max!

“Jin Duyi, ah, Jin Duyi, if I don’t beat you until you call me grandpa today, count it as my loss!” bellowed Dong Liushi.

Boom!

Inside the Great Dao Field, thousands of battle puppets suddenly emerged in various shapes and colors.

There were ferocious birds and beasts, as well as humanoid battle puppets of unique auras such as sword cultivators, blade cultivators, Buddhist cultivators, demon cultivators, and more…

Each battle puppet looked alive, and together, they were like a grand army on the battlefield. At the front were the ferocious birds and beasts opening the way, while the different cultivators made up the rear.

The sight was so spectacular that it opened up Lin Xun’s understanding.

Through his spirit sense, he assessed that the power of Dong Liushui’s Battle Puppet Imaginarium was not even as powerful as She Ling’s Endless Road to Hell.

However, it had its own kind of strange, all-encompassing miracle as it was incorporated with many profound mysteries of the great dao.

Lin Xun had no doubt that if he gave Dong Liushui more time, the mysteries contained in this Battle Puppet Imaginarium would only get stronger and stronger.

Building a Great Dao Field was like creating a sky-reaching building from the ground. Dong Liushi had already laid a strong foundation by having deep understanding in this aspect, so he was destined to have extraordinary achievements in the future.

However, when Lin Xun heard the guy say “…if I don’t beat you until you call me grandpa today, count it as my loss!”, he smiled wryly.

This fellow’s asking for a beating!

Without further delay, Lin Xun jumped into action.

He unleashed a vast yellow-earth dao light, and with his hands making clawing gestures, he charged into the puppet army.

Bang bang bang…

The thousands of battle puppets looked as if they were stampeded by a colossal mountain. In just seconds, they were reduced to bits and pieces in large batches.

Just like smashing swarms after swarms of ants with a boulder, the crushing scene caused Dong Liushi to gawk in utter shock.

This was his own Great Dao Field!

In here, he was supposed to be an overlord, but how come it was like a foreign army had entered his kingdom and was destroying everything like they were plowing the field?

Dong Liushi almost went crazy.

Meanwhile, the impact suffered by his Great Dao Field also brought him backlashes. He coughed up blood repeatedly and shook like a leaf as his blood ran cold.

“Who the hell are you?!” he roared in rage.

He had already used his full strength, but it all seemed so powerless in front of Jin Duyi, who could no longer be measured by common sense.

Boom!

At this point, Lin Xun had already crushed the last batch of the battle puppets. He lightly uttered two words in a relaxed manner, “Your grandpa.”

This answer was like the sharpest retaliation possible. Dong Liushui felt it to the core. “Argh…pffft!” He directly coughed up blood.

Lin Xun asked with a smile, “Do you still want to continue, dear grandson?”

Dong Liushi’s eyes were bloodshot as he hissed, “Jin Duyi, you are too much!”

Then, he probably used some secret technique that stabilized his Great Dao Field that was on the verge of collapsing, and countless battle puppets emerged again.

However, just a moment later, these puppets were destroyed again.

“You… you…” Dong Liushi was no longer shocked and furious at this moment, but instead flustered and afraid.

He knew that he had run into a tough opponent this time!

“If you don’t admit defeat, then I’ll beat you up until you’ll call me grandpa,” said Lin Xun leisurely.

Dong Liushi’s expressions started flickering. A rage was burning in his heart, but at the same time he also felt inexplicably panicked. In the end, he took a deep breath and said, “I admit defeat.”

Immense shame surged in his heart.

The fact that he had actually said it startled even Lin Xun. “So straightforwardly? I thought you’d fight until the end.”

Dong Liushi’s face clouded over, and he gritted his teeth. “If I admit defeat, I still have a chance to continue the first round of selections. How can I do that if I keep fighting you and get seriously injured?”

Only then did Lin Xun understand that while Dong Liushi was not afraid to fight with his life on the line, he didn’t want to because being heavily injured would bar him from the contest!

“Smart man,” Lin Xun praised him with a sigh.

“Hmph!” Dong Liushi withdrew his Great Dao Field and hurriedly jumped down from the ring under the dismayed and surprised gazes of the crowd.

“What on earth?”

Many people were stunned. Dong Liushi voluntarily admitted defeat?

What method did Jin Duyi use to force Dong Liushi to voluntarily admit defeat even when he was inside the latter’s Great Dao Field?

Those who had placed good money betting on Dong Liushi had a tight feeling in their chests, so upset that they also wanted to cough up blood.

It felt as though their dao crystals were flying away…

They just wanted to cry.

Someone wailed, “Heaven cheated me!”

On the ring, Lin Xun was unperturbed. He was pondering and digesting some of his new understanding and ideals inspired by Dong Liushi’s Battle Puppet Imaginarium.

“Very interesting indeed.” At the judging area, the eyes of the blue-clad woman from Cloud Star Sect lit up.

When Jin Duyi had first signed up for the selections, despite his unassuming appearance and the fact that he was unaffiliated, she had keenly sensed his unique, tranquil aura.

Now that she had seen him in action with her own eyes, she knew that she hadn’t been wrong. Jin Duyi was indeed a character to be taken seriously.

She reminded the others, “Everyone, don’t forget what I said. On behalf of my Cloud Star Sect, I’m very interested in Jin Duyi.”

The other quasi-Emperor old monsters all scoffed.

Someone said, “Madam Yu, perhaps you should wait until the end of the first round before making a decision. Although Jin Duyi is exceptional, it’s hard to say whether he’ll be able to achieve ten consecutive victories.”

Great Void Sect’s Tao Songting agreed with a smile, “Indeed. In comparison, supreme youngsters such as Chu Qiu, Gu Jianxing, and Zhuo Fengying are putting on the most eye-catching performances.”

The Fierce Wind Show Arena was so large that it was like a small world, currently hosting hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the audience seats alone.

There were always eighteen duels going on concurrently on the eighteen rings. The duel between Lin Xun and Dong Liushi had only been one of them and attracted just a small portion of the spectators.

The vast majority had their gazes on peak experts like Chu Qiu, Gu Jianxing, and Zhuo Fengying.

After all, these people had been world-shaking, dazzling figures even before the Dao Debate Contest. The attention they had received naturally far exceeded that of an unknown ‘Jin Duyi.’

During Lin Xun’s battle with Dong Liushui, Chu Qiu had already defeated three opponents in an unstoppable fashion!

He had put on such a show that it grabbed the attention of the majority of the audience in the arena!
