The Prodigies War

Chapter 972 An Unexpected Disaster

A dragon turtle with a terrifying aura looked so shaken from the beginning to the end.

If Lin Xun hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that would happen.

After standing in a daze for some time, Lin Xun finally accepted the fact and chuckled out loud.

“The descendant of the old madman? That fierce creature must have been mistaken, right?” Then, a thought struck Lin Xun and he couldn’t help scrunching his brows.

Ever since he started cultivating, he had never formally acknowledged someone as his master. He had been seeking and exploring the path of the great dao by himself.

If he had a teacher, then it would be Mister Lu.

But Lin Xun didn’t think that Mister Lu could be some kind of old madman.

After thinking about it over and over again, Lin Xun finally came to a conclusion.

The reason that the other party had such a misunderstanding about him should either be related to the Omega Secret Realm, the Sacred Combat Arts that he practiced, or...

Or related to the inheritance of the Cangwu Mountain!

Otherwise, nothing could explain what he had experienced.

“Master, quickly! That stream of pure spirit source is in that meteorite!” Little Silver was buzzing with excitement in his mind-sea.

Lin Xun immediately stopped thinking about the reason and turned his gaze to the split-open Star Debris Meteorite.

……

Meanwhile, the giant silvery white bear and the dragon turtle had met back together, both hardly recovered from the shock.

“How was it? Did that kid make things difficult for you?” asked the giant silvery white bear.

“No, I just got a fright.” The dragon turtle’s voice trembled. “It’s actually true. The old monster that swallowed the countless starry rivers in ancient times has a descendant in the Ancient Wasteland Domain!”

“So, I don’t know how the Miss will feel when she wakes up and finds out about this matter...” sighed the giant silvery white bear.

“Let’s go! I don’t want to stay in this damn place anymore. I feel fear flooding my heart whenever I sense that aura.” The dragon turtle was already speeding towards the lake's surface as it spoke.

“By the way, where’s the star core spirit source?” yelled the giant bear.

“Oops, I forgot about this treasure!” The dragon turtle screamed, “What should we do?”

“Forget it, let’s leave first. Even without that thing, Miss will wake up sooner or later.” The giant silvery white bear sighed.

Very quickly, the two ferocious beasts moved together, heading out of the lake.

……

Rumble—

But to the outsiders, ever since Lin Xun entered the silver lake, the calmness of the lake had been destroyed by turbulent waves roaring up from the bottom of the lake from time to time.

The same thought surfaced in the minds of all the spectators—

That young man must be locked in a fierce battle with the dragon turtle beast!

With this thought, many experts could not bear standing still anymore, especially the half-steps kings. They launched into action one after another.

They came out from the nearby islands and reefs and quickly approached the lake, thinking that this was an excellent opportunity to benefit from the fight between the snipe and the clam.

In just a blink of an eye, over a dozen of half-step kings had sped out from hiding and scattered around the silver lake, investigating everything that had happened in the silver lake.

They were cautious and did not act rashly.

“Miss Le, the situation seems bad. Young Master Lin Xun...” Kou Xing and the others tensed up nervously.

“It’s going to be all right. At worst, Young Master Lin will return frustrated. Even an old monster of the Life Death Stage can’t trap him.” Miss Le remained surprisingly calm.

In truth, she was a little uncertain.

The turbulent motion within the silver lake was so intense that it made it impossible for them to see everything that happened at the bottom of the lake.

Miss Le could not be certain whether Lin Xun was safe or not.

However, she was quite sure that, based on the ability and power that Lin Xun had demonstrated along the way, a dragon turtle beast posed no threat to him as long as it hadn’t set foot onto the Longevity Path.

Rumble—

Before long, the silver lake churned violently with silver waves rearing high and crashing down like a volcanic eruption. It never quieted down

But that only made the experts around the lake more eager to take action.

This was because those were all signs that suggested a fierce duel was happening at the bottom of the lake and that it was the best opportunity.

Shua!

A half-step king was the first to move. A purple sword flashed out of his grip and pierced the surface of the silver lake, vanishing in an instant.

“Let’s go!”

“Let’s act now!”

The other half-step kings couldn’t sit still and do nothing.

They had already found out that, a few days ago, a huge mountain-like Star Debris Meteorite was sitting at the bottom of the lake, which was an earthshaking fortune. Who would willingly miss out on that?!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Light trails streaked across the sky like rain as half-step kings disappeared into the lake with incredible speed.

“Quickly, quickly catch up! Or there will be nothing left!”

At the same time, the Cyclic Derivation experts also could not hold back from doing something anymore. They wanted a share of the pie. Even a slice of the huge mountain-like Star Debris Meteorite was enough to split between them.

Moreover, they suspected that there were other meteorites in addition to the enormous Star Debris Meteorite at the bottom of the lake!

However, just as they were nearing the lake, a shrill, tragic scream caught their attention.

Then, under everyone’s horrified gazes, the body of a half-step king was hurled out of the lake to over a height of one hundred feet like a kite that had been snapped from its string.

The body was dripping with blood, the chest was sunken in and the arms were twisted like fried dough twist. The half-step king clearly died from terrible injuries.

“That…”

All Cyclic Derivation cultivators paled with horror. What’s going on? The operation has just started, but a half-step king has already met with an accident.

“Ah—”

Another wailing scream resounded like a pig being slaughtered followed by another half-step king’s body thrown into the air.

This man looked more miserable. Half of his body was mangled beyond recognition with bone-deep claw marks all over it, and blood flowing down it like a waterfall.

Si!

Gasps sounded endlessly.

Those who had yet to enter the silver lake felt their blood run cold and their bodies trembling. Those were half-step kings, but they had been beaten into such a tragic state in the blink of an eye.

Their gazes changed when they looked at the silver lake again. They could not help but draw back several steps and dared not approach the lake again.

“Run! It’s a trap! At the bottom of the lake is not only a dragon turtle beast but also an equally terrifying white bear!”

With a rumble, an old man gushed out of the lake, hair disheveled, face ashen, and expression tinged with hatred and sullenness.

He was also severely wounded. The skin on his back had been ripped with a striking claw mark, and most of his muscles and bones had been crushed!

A trap?

Two fierce beasts?

The experts in the distance were all horror-struck, but they secretly rejoiced in the fact that they hadn’t taken action immediately. Otherwise, they would have been the ones who suffered instead!

As expected, in the following time, one after another, half-step kings were catapulted into the air from the lake, each one wounded heavily.

Shrill screams and resentful curses echoed endlessly, chilling everyone.

All the experts on the lakeside stood stupefied, finding it hard to believe their eyes. How can more than a dozen of half-step kings lose so quickly?

The two fierce beasts at the bottom of the lake have to possess frightening strength and abilities to do that.

“Where is Young Master Lin? Why hasn’t he shown up yet?” Within the king-level forbidden array, Kou Xing and the others were very anxious, realizing the grave situation.

“Wait a little longer.” Miss Le also knitted her brows, feeling a flurry of worry.

All the scenes that happened in front of her made her feel more uncertain.

The lake water tumbled and rolled, and a giant silvery white bear and dragon turtle beast that was thousands of feet tall emerged from the lake.

The two’s appearance made the sky pale and the air whimper. The terrifying aura emitting from them turned the atmosphere suffocating for the nearby experts.

Most frighteningly, the dragon turtle beast was chewing with relish on the corpse of a half-step king. Bones crackled as they were crushed between his teeth, and blood flowed between the gaps of his snow-white fangs like streams.

Heavens!

Everyone shuddered, their liver and gall tearing apart from within.

A half-step king was defeated, caught, and eaten like food. The bloody and ghastly sight horrified everyone.

Amidst the dead silence, the dragon turtle beast suddenly raised its eyes and voraciously ran them across the experts.

They were being treated like food. Everyone trembled, and their faces blanched.

Unexpectedly, the giant silvery white bear slapped the dragon turtle head on the head, flying into a rage. “Eat, eat, eat, you’re still eating! What time is it? Hurry up and run!”

Without so much as a glance at the many experts, it transformed into a stream of snow-white light and whizzed into the distance.

The dragon turtle shook his huge head, sighing regretfully, before he turned around and also left.

His huge thousand-foot-long body obscured the sky like a mass of black clouds, seemingly moving slowly, but it vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Did they leave…like that?

Everyone felt they were dreaming. The more they thought about the scenes they saw, the more unreal it felt.

But when they saw the several half-step kings who were either dead or wounded, they knew that what happened just now was indeed real!

“Why hasn’t Young Master Lin shown up?” Kou Xing and the others felt more and more uneasy.

Some people with sharp eyes also noticed this. “Where’s the young man? Why hasn’t he showed up yet? Even if he died, his body should float to the top of the lake, right?”

“Maybe he has been eaten by those two ferocious beasts!”

“Impossible, we haven’t heard his scream. How could he have died?”

“Idiot! Who cares about that?! Now that the two beasts are gone, there is no more threat at the bottom of the lake!”

It didn’t take long for the experts to realize that, although the danger occurred very unexpectedly, at the same time it provided them with the perfect opportunity!

The two fierce beasts did not bring the huge Star Debris Meteorite at the bottom of the lake with them when they left!

Immediately, everyone’s breathing turned rapid and their eyes glittered with greed.
