Chapter 143: Provocation



Everyone was taken aback.

“What, are you scared? Or do you agree that you don’t deserve the title of first place in the quarterly assessment?” someone sneered disdainfully.

“I didn’t expect this. Lin Xun, I thought you were an extraordinary person. Who would have thought that you don’t even dare to take the challenge? How disappointing.”

“Lin Xun, if you don’t want to fight, admit that you’re not as good as the others in front of everyone and also that you’re not qualified to be ranked first in the quarterly assessment!”

The students who came to challenge Lin Xun all started to mock and taunt him in different ways.

Even some students from the 39th Campground couldn’t stand the harsh remarks, but Lin Xun remained calm and composed, which made many people at a loss for words.

Is that guy not even a little angry by the criticism and provocation?

However, regardless of the clamor and regardless of what the other students thought, Lin Xun seemed to have made up his mind to not fight.

In others’ eyes, his unwavering refusal to accept the challenge was cowardly, and it would make the provokers even more audacious.

Ning Meng couldn’t stand it anymore. He scrunched his brows and turned to ask Lin Xun, “How can you take it?”

Lin Xun said in surprise, “There isn’t a rule in the camp that you have to agree to other people’s requests for battle, isn’t that right?”

Ning Meng was dumbstruck. “But...but don’t you think it’s humiliating?”

Lin Xun sighed, “How would I have time to play with them? Also, there’s no benefit at all. Only an idiot would agree to their challenges.”

Ning Meng stared at him blankly, “Don’t you have any sense of shame? Or self-esteem?”

Lin Xun smiled. “What do you think?”

Ning Meng snapped, “How would I know what you’re thinking?”

Lin Xun clasped his hands behind his back and said slowly, “Then don’t interfere in the matter. Let them create a scene. The greater, the better.”

A thought struck Ning Meng’s mind. He sensed that Lin Xun had something planned. “Well, whatever you want. I’m not the one feeling embarrassed here.”

On the other side, Shi Yu was watching with a smile. He whispered to Li Qiu beside him, “Have you ever seen Lin Xun suffer a loss?”

Li Qiu exclaimed in surprise, “I don’t think so.”

Li Qiu previously also felt a little frustrated that Lin Xun chose to retreat from the provocation of other campgrounds’ students. He thought Lin Xun was too spineless and was not like a young cultivator.

However, after hearing what Shi Yu said, he realized that Lin Xun had indeed never suffered any losses.

With this in mind, Li Qiu’s gaze slightly changed when he looked at Lin Xun again. Could that guy have something planned?

Gong Ming, Lei Xinyue, Ye Xiaoqi, and others were also watching in the distance. They wore different expressions but they all didn’t say anything.

Qi Can and Mu Lengxin frowned at Lin Xun’s action. That guy is making our 39th Campground lose face!

Quite a few students from the 39th Campground shared the same thought as Qi Can. They were all unhappy and ashamed of Lin Xun’s actions.

Only Li Duxing turned around and left after watching for a while. It was as though such a lively scene couldn’t capture his interest or attention.

……

It was lunchtime. Instructor Xiaoke wasn’t on the campground, so the lively scene didn\'t end quickly.

On the contrary, more and more students came to watch. Soon, an impenetrable crowd of people surrounded the front of the 39th Campground.

Most of the people assumed a disdainful expression and ridiculed Lin Xun when they saw him unwilling to accept the challenges. He’s the first place in the quarterly assessment?

How humiliating!

Many people couldn’t accept the fact that Lin Xun could be ranked first in the quarterly assessment. They were very suspicious of the ranking, finding it hard to believe that a nobody could suddenly beat Bai Lingxi, Zhao Yin, and others and achieved first place in the quarterly assessment.

Many people were convinced that Lin Xun had cheated!

It was because they had such a skeptical attitude that they became more and more suspicious that Lin Xun wasn’t worthy of the first place title when they saw that he didn’t dare to accept the challenges.

It was inevitable that they wanted to criticize and accuse Lin Xun.

A muscular youngster with a mole under his jaw shouted disdainfully, “Lin Xun, let me ask you one last time, do you dare to accept the challenge?”

The youngster was called Wang Wenyuan and was from the 7th Campground. Among all the people present, he had the most arrogant attitude.

Only then did Lin Xun finally speak. He said with a smile, “Of course I dare to. Why wouldn’t I? But if there isn’t a wager, wouldn’t the competition be a waste of time?”

Wang Wenyuan was taken aback. “What wager?”

Lin Xun said casually, “If you wager one thousand Lengning Pills, I’ll immediately take on your challenge, what do you say?”

One thousand Lengning Pills!

It was equivalent to twenty thousand silver coins, which was an unimaginable amount of money.

Even in Blood Kill Camp, one thousand Lengning Pills was the equivalent of 3,000 points!

“Did you deliberately pretend to not want to fight? Who could afford such a huge bet?” Wang Wenyuan threw a tantrum.

The others also frowned. They thought that Lin Xun was finally going to accept the challenges but he suddenly made such a ridiculous request. What was the difference between his request and refusing to fight?

What did 3,000 points mean?

Li Duxing, who had the highest score in the 39th Campground, only had 1,800 points!

Many people thought that Lin Xun’s request was a pretense of not wanting to fight, and so they grew even more contemptuous of Lin Xun.

“Do you dare to take the bet?” Lin Xun smiled faintly.

“This isn’t about whether or not I dare to! Even if I use up all my points, I don’t have enough to exchange for one thousand Lengning Pills!” Wang Wenyuan raged. “You are clearly doing this deliberately!”

Lin Xun looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. “You might not be able to do it alone but you can borrow from other people. I will happily accept your challenge when you acquire one thousand Lengning Pills!”

“Brother Wang, since that guy has said so, I’ll give you one hundred Lengning Pills!” Someone stood forward with a cold smile.

“I’ll give you fifty!”

“I’ll give you eighty!”

Many people couldn’t stand Lin Xun and stood forward to support Wang Wenyuan. They believed that Lin Xun didn’t want to fight and so he made a shameless and ridiculous request.

In just seconds, Wang Wenyuan had acquired one thousand Lengning Pills. From this, it was obvious how much the people hated Lin Xun.

“Lin Xun, we have enough wager now, what else do you have to say?” Many people clamored and smiled coldly.

Shi Yu, Ning Meng, and Li Qiu all had strange expressions. How would they still not understand what Lin Xun had planned?

He wanted to milk them dry!

Qi Can, Mou Lengxin, and other students from the 39th Campground didn’t have such realization. Even if they did vaguely see something, they didn’t believe that was what Lin Xun wanted.

“I’m curious to see if he dares to agree to the fight under such circumstances,” chuckled Qi Can.

“In that case, it will be too rude if I refuse again.”

Lin Xun swept his gaze across the crowd and said to Wang Wenyuan with a smile, “You really want to challenge me?”

“Of course…”

Before Wang Wenyuan could answer, someone interrupted him, “Wenyuan, let me do it.”

A slim young man stepped forward, his long hair was a glistening gray and his eyes were sharp as an eagle’s. Many people’s eyes were immediately drawn to him.

“It\'s Xiao Kun from the 7th Campground! I heard that he’s ranked in the top three in the 7th Campground and is just below Bai Lingxi and Yin Rufeng.”

“He’s also a tough person. He’s from the ancient Xiao Clan and is one of the most outstanding well-known figures of his generation. Look at his gray hair. He clearly has mastered the Xiao Clan’s secret ancestral art Howling Wind Killing Fist!”

“Xiao Kun is really strong. I heard that he would be ranked first if he was in other campgrounds.”

“Yes, there are too many strong people in the 7th Campground. Bai Lingxi is already a mountain that no one can surpass.”

There was a long clamor of discussion, and the crowd went wild with excitement at the appearance of Xiao Kun.

Ning Meng, Shi Yu, and the others couldn’t help but frown. They didn’t expect that Lin Xun’s opponent would change. They had also heard about Xiao Kun and knew that he was undeniably strong and wasn’t inferior to any of them.

If Lin Xun battled against him, it was hard to tell what the outcome of the battle would be.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, sizing up Xiao Kun. Then, he suddenly said, “You can fight against me if you want, but you have to have another one thousand Lengning Pills.”

Everyone almost couldn’t believe what they heard. Is Lin Xun afraid?! He made an even more ridiculous request!

“Despicable!” Wang Wenyuan thundered.

Lin Xun said irritably, “You changed people just before the battle started, and I just made a little request. You think this is despicable?”

“You…”

Wang Wenyuan was about to say something when Xiao Kun interrupted him with a wave of his hand. Xiao Kun fixed his eagle-like eyes on Lin Xun and said, “Okay, I agree to your request.”

Lin Xun smiled. “So straightforward!”

Xiao Kun said indifferently, “I hope that, when you lose, you will voluntarily give up on the title first place in the quarterly assessment and admit that you don’t deserve that honor.”

The atmosphere distantly turned heavy and an austere mood pervaded the space. Many people were secretly happy and they couldn\'t wait to see Xiao Kun teach Lin Xun a good lesson.

Lin Xun just lightly nodded his head.

Then, the warm smile faded from his handsome and elegant face and calmness spread across his sharp, angular features.

In his body, mighty aeth power was being circulated like a dragon awakening from a long slumber in the depths of an abyss.
