The Prodigies War

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

They thought that a lightning tribulation had descended and that Lin Xun was about to make a breakthrough, but it turned out that Lin Xun had done something no one expected.

They had all guessed wrong. The lightning tribulation was triggered by the brilliant silver spear that was as bright as snow!

A weapon was overcoming a tribulation?

Who had ever seen such an unbelievable thing?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even the rune masters were trembling, and their eyes bulged wide open. Firstly, they were shocked by the terrifying power of the lightning tribulation, and secondly, they were reminded of a legend.

Legend had it that the birth of treasures with spiritual intelligence would spark jealousy from the heavens and draw upon the lightning tribulation to remove them from the world.

However, very few people had witnessed such a scene happen in the world.

Therefore, many rune masters subconsciously believed that it was nothing but a legend.

However, such a scene was happening before them. They were all struck dumb like they had suffered a blow to their heads. They started to believe that the so-called legend was very likely to be true!

“No wonder Lin Xun is so confident. It turns out that he has been waiting for this moment. The spear is the rune armament he created!”

Shen Tuo’s irises glowed a brilliant light, and his voice was filled with undisguised excitement. Lin Xun had previously told him that the rune armament he intended to make was a spear for an old servant of the Lin Clan.

A spear had suddenly appeared out of thin air and was fending off the purple lightning tribulation. It was shining with all kinds of mysterious patterns, so could that be the treasure that Lin Xun had made?

“That kid is so good at keeping his composure!” Ning Bugui snorted but his eyes sparkled with admiration.

He was also awestruck by the scene. A weapon that could trigger lightning tribulation was no doubt an extremely powerful rune armament!

Fortune God Shi, Ye Qingtian, Gong Bupo and the others all had the same thought. The unbelievable and rare scene made their hearts flutter, and they lost their usual composure.

Kacha!

The dazzling purple lightning continued to boom in the sky, quaking the area. Its aura of destruction made even Qinglu Academy oppressive and stifling.

Amid the terrifying lightning tribulation, a spear released a silvery brilliance like a proud dragon. The patterns on its surface flowed like waves, flickered, dimmed and roared, producing all sorts of incredible visions.

It stunned everyone, including the living beings thousands of miles away from Qinglu Academy.

It was a lightning tribulation!

A tribulation caused by a rune armament. In the entire empire, who had ever witnessed such a phenomenon?

It was like a miracle!

“How is that possible?”

The corners of Chu Shanhe’s lips quivered and his eyes glazed over in a trance. He looked like he had seen a ghost. Previously, he resolutely promised that he would punish and subdue Lin Xun.

However, now, he was in a panic. Everything happening before him was beyond his expectation like something impossible was happening.

“Didn’t you guarantee that we won’t fail under any circumstances?”

Zhao Zhanye’s ice-cold voice rang in his ears and made him shudder all over. He turned around to see Zhao Zhanye’s sullen expression and his brows furrowed.

“It’s impossible!” Chu Shanhe roared, going berserk. He was livid that everything was slipping out of his control.

“Hmph!”

A chilling voice made him notice that Zuo Fuguang, Qin Baoji and the others were also glowering at him.

A wave of panic swept over him. How could this be?

Lin Xun had failed the stage of making a rudimentary form, so when did he create the spear?!

Moreover, only around ten days had passed. Even rune founders would take at least one month to cast a rune armament, so how can Lin Xun complete one in such a short time?

Furthermore, the spear triggered an earthshaking lightning tribulation!

Boom!

The lightning tribulation in the sky grew increasingly terrifying.

Chu Shanhe broke out in cold sweat, his hands trembling and his face ashen.

“You told us to be passive.” Zhao Zhanye’s face was ice-cold

His one sentence made Chu Shanhe feel so aggrieved that he almost coughed up blood. The worst thing was that he couldn’t understand how Lin Xun pulled it off!

In truth, not only Chu Shanhe but even the rune grandmasters were also baffled by the outcome. In just over ten days, Lin Xun had made a rune armament that attracted a lightning tribulation. That had never happened in the past.

“I made the right decision to come,” Sea Subdue King Zhao Jiuxiao exclaimed emotionally. His gaze tore the void and peered into the depths of the lightning tribulation. He could sense the extraordinary powers and intelligence of the silver spear.

It was also his first time seeing such a spectacle. He couldn’t imagine what sort of divine weapon the treasure would evolve into if it could successfully overcome the tribulation.

The lightning tribulation drew exclamations of awe and attracted the attention of many people. Many people were curious to see whether the spear could survive the tribulation and continue to exist in the world.

Regardless, that alone was enough to make Lin Xun gain resounding fame and make his name shake the world of rune masters.

“I knew Lin Xun doesn’t like to suffer a loss!” Ning Neng chuckled, his face glowing with pride.

“It seems like we worried too much,” Shi Yu said aloud.

Ye Xiaoqi and Gong Ming glanced at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.

Meanwhile, on the ninth floor of the Refinement Tower, Lin Xun still had his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. His handsome figure was bathed in a billowing glow, looking illusionary and mysterious.

However, no one noticed the look of relief on his face as no one knew how much pressure he was under.

For the past ten or so days, he hardly ate, drank or slept. He had devoted all his energy and effort to make the spear.

He had narrowly avoided failure several times during the process, especially since the Azure Sky Furnace lacked a key rune. When he was extracting rune materials, he had almost failed to form a rudimentary structure for the rune armament.

Fortunately, he used a secret technique he had learned from the Flowing Light Rune to avert the crisis.

The Flowing Light Rune was the first test of the Great Azure Cloud Path in the Omega Secret Realm. It not only allowed Lin Xun to grasp the Little Divine Meditation Art but he also comprehended another type of rune secret from it. It helped Lin Xun mend the defect of the Azure Sky Furnace in a critical moment!

Otherwise, he would have failed to make the rune armament.

It also made Lin Xun realize that the Azure Sky Furnace had been tampered with!

Now, he didn’t need to guess to know that it was Chu Shanhe’s doing. Only he, the deputy head of the Rune Department, could enter the ninth floor of the Refinement Tower without anyone knowing!

“I finally succeeded. Mister Lu, if you are still alive, you will be happy for me when you hear the news...”

Lin Xun gazed at the sky, a rare melancholic look on his face. This was the first time in his life that he had made a rune armament, and he had used a secret technique that Mister Lu had used before—The Heaven Taboo Secret Technique.

It was a secret technique for making rune armaments. It was extremely difficult to understand, but it was recorded in the animal skin notes. Although the animal skin notes were no longer around, Lin Xun had memorized them long ago and had never forgotten any of them.

It was only then that Lin Xun realized that all his many dazzling achievements in the art of rune had the shadow of Mister Lu in them.

He also realized that Mister Lu had given him and influenced him too much without him knowing it.

Unfortunately, he still didn’t know whether Mister Lu was alive or not.

Clang!

Suddenly, the clear and melodious roar of a spear resounded like a dragon’s, quaking the sky.

The silver spear erupted in a blaze of light, illuminating the mountains and rivers. With a gentle swaying motion, it produced a blinding shaft of light that tore through and dispersed the tribulation clouds!

The lightning tribulation subsided, and only a spear remained, suspended in the air. The spear body was shiny and translucent like ice and covered with mysterious patterns that cast all sorts of visions of heaven and earth.

The scene was too astonishing. A spear was emitting an indescribable might and a sharp aura that could pierce the vault of heaven.

Everyone looked captivated. What kind of a peerless treasure is that? The aura flowing out of it makes people’s minds tremble!

The silver spear was changing. Its surface was bathed in a wave-like glow. Its bright silvery light gradually faded, replaced by a hazy dark gray. It had a simple and natural look, but its power was more frightening and chilling.

The nearby space was visibly collapsing inch by inch and constantly whimpering as though it was unable to withstand the oppressive force!

A spear had overcome the lightning tribulation, evolved and presented itself to the world.

The audience was still and silent.

At that moment Lin Xun suddenly turned around on the top of the Refinement Tower and looked down at the group of powerful figures. His gaze landed on Chu Shanhe.

“Old thing, let me ask again. Do you think I have failed to make a rune armament?”

His voice was indifferent and calm, but it rang loud and clear in the deathly quiet atmosphere, snapping everyone out of their state of shock.

Meanwhile, Chu Shanhe looked livid, aggrieved, bitter and dazed. He knew that it was impossible to oppress Lin Xun again today...
