Chapter 1890: Contention House



Nestled in Great Void Mountain was Great Void City, which was hailed as the greatest city in Cloud State and was an extremely bustling and prosperous place.

Following the Dao Debate Contest of Cloud State kicking off recently, Great Void City had become increasingly busy, with cultivators flocking in from all over the world every day.

Although the city was vast and covered a large area, the continuous influx of cultivators made it extremely difficult to find an inn in the city.

Half a day after leaving Fierce Wind City, Lin Xun and his party arrived at Great Void City.

As someone who was qualified to participate in the second round of selections for the Dao Debate Contest, his living arrangement in the city had been organized directly by Great Void Sect.

When the second round of selections began, Lin Xun and other cultivators would set off from the city and head to the Great Void Mountain!

……

Great Void City.

In a quiet and tranquil courtyard.

As the champion of Fierce Wind City, Lin Xun was specially arranged to rest in this beautiful courtyard. No one else enjoyed such a treatment.

“When the second round of selections begins, I will come to collect you. Before then, it is your free time.”

After taking care of everything, Tao Songting left in a hurry.

“Is Brother Lin here?”

As soon as Lin Xun settled down in the courtyard, someone came to visit him.

“Fellow Daoist Gao, what can I do for you?”

Lin Xun opened the courtyard door and saw Gao Lingtian standing outside.

“There is still a good half a month until the second round of selections begins. Brother Lin, don’t you want to take this opportunity to soak up the charm of Great Void City?” Gao Lingtian asked with a smile.

Although he was defeated by Lin Xun in the first round, he had been greatly impressed by Lin Xun’s strength and that made him want to befriend him.

“Oh, Brother Gao is also here.”

Before Lin Xun could respond, Chu Qiu, clad in a black robe, came over together with Gu Jianxing and Zhuo Fengying.

Chu Qiu stepped forward, and after greeting Lin Xun and Gao Lingtian, then said with a smile, “I received information that the champions and experts who emerged at the top in the first round of selections in Cloud State are now gathered in Contention House in Great Void City.

“Also, I have received an invitation for us Fierce Wind City representatives to attend the gathering.”

“Really?” Gao Lingtian exclaimed.

Chu Qiu, Gu Jianxing and Zhuo Fengying all nodded.

They were considered the most dazzling figures of the younger generation in Cloud State. Moreover, they were all at the Supreme Saint-King Stage. It was normal for them to be invited to such gatherings.

“Brother Lin, will you go?” Gao Lingtian looked over at Lin Xun.

“I have nothing to do, so there’s no harm in checking it out,” said Lin Xun with a smile.

Chu Qiu and the others also smiled.

Like Gao Lingtian, they were also impressed by the strength that Lin Xun displayed in the first round of selections.

“Come on, let’s head there right now.” Chu Qiu led the way.

On the way, Lin Xun learned that the first round of selections that took place in Cloud State was divided into ten participating zones.

Fierce Wind City was one of them.

Lin Xun was precisely the champion of Fierce Wind City.

Besides him, there were also champions like him from the other nine participating zones.

For example, the gathering held in Great Void City was initiated by Su Muhan, the champion of Blue Sea City.

Su Muhan!

He was a pure-blooded descendant of an ancient imperial clan in Cloud State and a perfect supreme Saint-King.

Rumor had it that he had demonstrated remarkable talent at a young age and all seven major factions in Cloud State had high hopes for him.

To recruit him into their sect, the higher-ups of the seven major factions had tried to win him over countless times and almost wore down the doorstep of the Imperial Su Clan.

Unfortunately, Su Muhan declined all the offers.

Therefore, a rare talent like Su Muhan had appeared in the first round of selections.

When talking about Su Muhan, the eyes of Chu Qiu and Gu Jianxing showed a tinge of fear.

Cloud State was vast like a world of its own.

The fame of Chu Qiu and the others were confined to only a certain area. But it was different with Su Muhan. He enjoyed a dazzling reputation across the entire Cloud State and was even considered as one of the most talented of his peers.

According to Chu Qiu and the others, Su Muhan was even stronger than many core disciples of the seven major factions!

Lin Xun reacted very calmly to this. He did not say much and just listened to the discussions between Chu Qiu and others with a smile on his face.

However, there were a few names that stuck to his mind after hearing them more often than the others.

For example, Lan Yunke, the champion of Waterair City, who controlled the Great Dao Field Lotus Treasure Vase. He was equally as famous as Su Muchan.

For example, You Tianxing, the champion of Wind Rainbow City, who possessed the Great Dao Field called Nine-Colored Jade Hall. He was said to be a rare spirit cultivator seen only once every thousands of years.

For example, Yun Xiangyi…

They were all champions of the other participating zones, and they all rose to fame after the first round of the Dao Debate Contest.

……

Late at night.

The huge, thousand-foot-tall Contention House was brightly lit, with countless servants and attendants running back and forth inside like butterflies.

When Lin Xun and the others arrived, many had already gathered in the main hall on the top floor of the building. The champions of each participating zone and the descendants of ancient clans were all in attendance.

“The one sitting in the center is Su Muhan,” Gao Lingtian whispered.

Lin Xun looked up and saw a young man in a bright yellow robe matched with a tall hat and a wide belt. His face was as beautiful as jade. He was sitting tall in the center and looking around charmingly.

Undoubtedly, he was the champion of Blue Sea City—Su Muhan.

In addition to him, in other areas of the hall sat other top performers from different participating zones, men and women, and all had an astonishing aura.

With Gao Lingtian’s guidance, Lin Xun was able to identify the champions of each participating zone.

For example, Lan Yunke, champion of Waterair City, was dressed in all white and was waving a white feather fan. He looked handsome and elegant yet not showy.

You Tianxing, champion from Wind Rainbow City, had a cold, steely face and blade-like eyes. His aura was just as terrifying.

Every champion had their own unique bearing, and even if they were just sitting there, their presence was unignorable.

Lin Xun just swept a glance over them and didn’t pay much attention to any of them, but when he passed Helian Qi, the champion of Black Nightmare City, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This was not because Helian Qi was extraordinary, but because he recognized the woman in black sitting next to him.

During the first round of selections in Fierce Wind City, the woman in black had attacked Lin Xun with the God Killing Needle, but in the end she was terribly wounded by Lin Xun.

At that moment, Lin Xun suspected that she was from the Ancient Nebula Underworld, but she probably did not recognize him.

Unexpectedly, the woman in black had also attended the gathering!

“Hmph!” The woman in black also noticed Lin Xun, and hatred and resentment flashed across her eyes.

“Haha, Chu Qiu, Gu Jianxing, the experts from Fierce Wind City are finally here.”

In the center, Su Muhan stood up and came over to greet them with a smile. His movement immediately shifted all eyes in the hall onto Lin Xun and the others.

Suddenly, the noisy atmosphere quieted down.

“Greetings, Brother Su.”

Chu Qiu and Gu Jianxing also greeted him with smiles.

“Ah, I thought the champion of Fierce Wind City would definitely be one of you two. Who would have thought there would be a dark horse?” As Su Muhan said that, he glanced over at Lin Xun, Gao Lingtian and the others. “Brother Chu, so who is Jin Duyi who holds the record of ninety-nine consecutive wins? Quickly introduce him to us.”

Ninety-nine consecutive wins!

Jin Duyi!

In the hall, the champions and top figures of each participating zone pricked up their ears.

One of their purposes of coming to the gathering was to meet Jin Duyi and see whether he was worthy of the fame.

“Brother Su, this is Fellow Daoist Jin Duyi.”

Chu Qiu stepped aside and introduced Lin Xun with a smile, “Brother Jin’s strength amazed us all. We all should take this chance to get to know each other.”

All eyes in the hall gathered on Lin Xun, swirling with curiosity, surprise, and deep thoughts.

An astonishing record of ninety-nine consecutive wins could not be faked, but they just did not imagine that Jin Duyi would look so plain and nothing special.

He stood as peaceful and steady as a rock. Besides that, there was nothing noteworthy about him.

Even Su Muhan was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and said, “I am Su Muhan, please to meet you Fellow Daoist Jin. Your great name reverberates like thunder. Please, take a seat.”

As he spoke, he invited Lin Xun and the others to take their seats, and servants quickly came over to serve up tea and various delicacies.

Almost all the people present were cultivators from Cloud State. Even if they had never met before, they had heard of each other’s name and reputation.

The only exception was Lin Xun. A person who they had never heard of before was now shining splendidly after the first round of selections in Fierce Wind City. This matter naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Before long, cultivators came over to give a toast to Lin Xun and to chat with him.

Lin Xun drank with each of them one by one in a manner that was neither humble nor overbearing.

Watching from the side, Chu Qiu and the others couldn’t help but sigh to themselves. This is the respect and admiration one gets from winning ninety-nine consecutive battles!

Even if they had never seen or heard of him before, who wouldn’t respect him now?

Would an ordinary character get to enjoy the treatment of being toasted by so many top figures?

Cloud State was huge, spanning vast territories and comprising numerous factions and countless cities.

However, there were only ten champions from the ten participating zones.

What was different about Jin Duyi from them was that he had created a legendary record that all other champions had to take notice of!

At least, among the ten participating zones, only Jin Duyi had such an achievement!

“You’re Jin Duyi?”

While Lin Xun was drinking with someone, a low, ice-cold voice suddenly sounded from the other side.

Lin Xun looked up and saw Helian Qi, the champion of Black Nightmare City, looking down at him from not far away as if he was an ant.

The woman in black next to him smiled coldly as she swirled the winebowl in her hand.
