140: Is Lin Xiao an ancient prodigy?

However, compared to the shock of these people, somewhere in the Moon Spirit Mountain Range…

A grey-haired Young Lord was somewhat unwilling.

"Damn it, who are Lin Xiao and Li Qingyu? How can they possess a high-grade Sacred Artifact?"

The grey-haired man looked at the already battered Moon Spirit Mountain around him, saying with some apprehension.

This person's name was Feng Tianyang, a descendant of the Feng Family, a top Family under the Azure Emperor Sect of the Underworld Dao Domain.

He was also a very powerful Ancient Prodigy.

Others might not know how the two spiritual energy fluctuations just now were generated, but how could Feng Tianyang not know?

Because he also had a Sacred Artifact on him, he recognized the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from a Sacred Artifact at a glance.

"It seems this year's Azure Emperor Sect Disciple selection competition truly has hidden Prodigies," Feng Tianyang said with a bitter smile.

Thousands of years ago, before he fell into slumber, he had actually participated in this competition once.

However, the lineup of participants at that time was completely incomparable to the present.

With the opening of the Golden Great Age in this generation, the average strength was unknown how much stronger than thousands of years ago.

"Alas, I once thought I could suppress the entire field."

"Now it seems I was a bit overconfident," Feng Tianyang shook his head and smiled.

Saying that, he led his teammates to continue hunting Yao Beasts.

"Let's go, we'll go look in the southern deep mountains," Feng Tianyang said.

"Yes, Young Lord," Feng Tianyang's companion said.

He was both Feng Tianyang's teammate and a sharp blade cultivated by Feng Tianyang.

"Hahahahaha, it seems this competition is getting more and more interesting. I'm really looking forward to the third round of arena battles."

After Feng Tianyang, in the northern mountains of the Moon Spirit Mountain, a fair-faced woman laughed loudly.

Her identity was the same as Feng Tianyang's; she was also an Ancient Prodigy.

She belonged to the Hundred Flowers Dao Domain, a subordinate Dao Domain of the Azure Wood Dao Domain.

She was Tao Yaoyao, a Disciple of the top Family of the Hundred Flowers Dao Domain, the Peach Blossom Family.

Besides these two Prodigies, in the Moon Spirit Mountain Range...

There were also four or five other low-key Ancient Prodigies who cast curious glances in the direction where Lin Xiao was.

After two hammer strikes, seeing the already ravaged Moon Spirit Mountain and the points in his wristband, Lin Xiao had no intention of continuing to act.

He just looked at Li Qingyu, who was stunned into silence beside him, and smiled.

With a slightly boastful smile, he said, "How about it? I told you I wasn't lying. I said I'd help you advance, and I did."

Li Qingyu listened to Lin Xiao's words, still not having recovered from the excitement he had just experienced.

After a long while, upon seeing Lin Xiao, who had already returned to his side...

He then said with shock and disbelief, "I'm convinced, completely convinced. Great one, please accept my bow."

"No, it's good that you're convinced; nothing else is needed," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

After speaking, he leisurely strolled through the Moon Spirit Mountain, admiring the glorious deeds he had just created.

Seeing Lin Xiao leave, Li Qingyu naturally followed closely behind.

— — — — — — — —

Time flew by, fleeting in an instant.

Soon, a day had passed.

The first round of the Azure Emperor Sect competition naturally ended as the sun rose at dawn.

On the wristbands of all the Disciples who passed the competition, a 'Congratulations on passing' prompt appeared.

For those Disciples who didn't pass, a prompt also appeared on their wristbands, but theirs was 'Keep up the good work'.

After the first round ended, all participants naturally returned to the plaza of the Moon Spirit Mountain Range.

They discussed animatedly, their expressions showing excitement, disappointment, and also calmness.

However, after discussing for a while, they couldn't help but collectively turn their attention towards Lin Xiao and Li Qingyu.

"Speaking of which, who exactly are Lin Xiao and Li Qingyu? They actually managed to overtake the points on the last day of the competition."

"I heard them say that the fire and earthquake in the Moon Spirit Mountain Range were caused by these two people, but I don't know if it's true or false."

"I think it's true. Otherwise, how could they have gotten so many points on the last day of the competition?"

"Why not? They could have cheated."

"Are you an idiot? The Elders of the Azure Emperor Sect all said these scores are real. You still say they cheated. Do you think you're more powerful than the Elders of the Azure Emperor Sect?"

"Hehe, I was just saying, don't mind it."

Although they each spoke their minds, almost all of them were speculating about the identities of these two people.

However, suddenly at this moment, a clear shout rang out, quickly attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone, look! Li Qingyu is here!"

"Li Qingyu, one of the champions in the points ranking?" everyone thought in their minds.

Thinking this, they all looked in the direction of the shout.

But upon seeing Li Qingyu's cultivation, they all froze, somewhat bewildered.

"How can this be? How can this person be so weak?"

"Could it be... that he really cheated?" everyone blurted out.

However, when they saw Lin Xiao standing beside him, they couldn't help but all show a hint of doubt.

Because... they couldn't see through this person's cultivation.

"Could it be that this person named Lin Xiao is also an Ancient Prodigy?" everyone thought.

Otherwise, apart from those Ancient Prodigies, it was hard for them to imagine what kind of young Prodigy could possess the power to shatter mountains and rivers at such an age.

"Hey, are you Lin Xiao?"

However, just as everyone was in doubt, a charming female voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned to look, only to see a beautiful-faced girl walking towards where Lin Xiao was.

That's right, this person was none other than Tao Yaoyao, the Saintess of the Peach Blossom Family, who had been in the northern mountains of the Moon Spirit Mountain earlier.

"That's right, I am Lin Xiao. May I ask what this young lady wants?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to get to know you and have a good fight with you during the third round of the competition," Tao Yaoyao said with a smile.

After confirming Lin Xiao's identity, she left directly.

As soon as these words came out, the entire plaza was immediately plunged into shock.

"What? Saintess Yaoyao actually declared war proactively! It seems this Lin Xiao is indeed an Ancient Prodigy!"

"That's right, Tao Yaoyao of the Peach Blossom Family, the Saintess of this generation of the Tao Family, possesses unparalleled strength. Anyone she proactively declares war on must not be an ordinary person."

"Alas, this Lin Xiao's strength is actually so formidable. I wonder which force he belongs to."

"Indeed, among all the subordinate Dao Domain forces of the Azure Emperor Sect, there doesn't seem to be a Family called Lin, does there?"

"I don't know about that, perhaps he might come from some Sect," everyone discussed.

However, just then, a grey-haired Young Lord stood out, and his words immediately rendered countless people speechless.

"Lin Xiao, you shouldn't be an Ancient Prodigy, right? But even so, I still look forward to fighting you."

The person speaking was Feng Tianyang, the Ancient Prodigy of the Feng Family from the Underworld Dao Domain.
