The attendant soon began to display an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

“Young Master, that’s the younger-generation expert of the Yuntong Clan. He practices the ‘Strange Light Taiyi Art’ and possesses outstanding combat power. He has already attained nineteen consecutive victories in our Silver Pheasant Martial Arena.”

“Young Master, you should be careful. The Azure Lion Clan expert you’re facing an amazing record of twenty-three consecutive victories.”

“Young Master…”

Whenever a new opponent stepped onto the stage, the attendant would warn Lin Xun about them while displaying an increasingly subservient, friendly, and meticulous attitude.

It was because the attendant had been scared by Lin Xun’s performance.

From the moment Lin Xun first stepped into the arena until now, he had fought twenty-seven times and won all twenty-seven matches without a single defeat.

Moreover, Lin Xun had not rested once in between, and every victory was clean, decisive, and one-sided!

It should be known that there was no lack of fierce individuals with plenty of battle experience among Lin Xun’s opponents. However, they were all subdued by him without exception!

“I wonder who that fearsome young master is. Why haven’t I heard of his name before?”

The attendant felt as if he was in a daze due to shock. He couldn’t figure out when such a young heaven pride had appeared in the Fire Spirit Province.

“Dragon Elephant Clan younger-generation first-class expert Rui Zhen has also been defeated! That’s his 28th consecutive win!”

Gasps of surprise and amazement sounded from the audience.

Earlier, only a few cultivators had been watching the matches on the equal-cultivation-stage arena, but more and more attention was quickly drawn to it with each opponent Lin Xun crushed.

By this juncture, the 19th arena had become the focal point of the venue and caused a huge uproar among the crowd.

“Who is he?”

“Where is he from? Could he be a successor from one of the mighty sects?”

“He’s definitely younger than twenty, but he already possesses such terrifying power at the Heaven Ascension stage. He’s absolutely a young heaven pride!”

Various voices arose, amazed by Lin Xun’s performance, and they began to guess his origins.

Even the Silver Pheasant Martial Arena higher-ups started to take notice and quickly dispatched people to find out everything about Lin Xun.

The atmosphere was brimming with excitement and buzz. Lin Xun had transformed into a dark horse that had suddenly entered everyone’s sights.

Xia Xiaochong was the only unhappy person in the entire place. The more Lin Xun won, the more depressed she grew.

“The sea can’t be measured ,and it’s impossible to have a discussion about ice with a summer insect…doesn’t this prove that I’m that ‘summer insect’?

The most infuriating part was that her name was Xia Xiaochong which could be interpreted as ‘small summer insect.’ Removing a single word would make her a real ‘summer insect!’

The place suddenly became quiet as numerous cultivators gasped in shock.

On the 19th arena, Lin Xun had achieved his 29th victory.

Moreover, the young man he had defeated was an extremely famous younger-generation elite in the Flame Capital!

The young man was called Yang Ku. He had already attained an impressive thirty consecutive wins in the Silver Pheasant Martial Arena and was a dazzling genius second only to the human youngster, Cheng Lixue.

Cheng Lixue was the face of the Silver Pheasant Martial Arena and currently held the highest record of thirty-nine consecutive victories.

It was rumored that Cheng Lixue had already caught the eye of one of the Pine Sword Sect, which was part of the famous four sects and three clans, and was about to become a sect disciple!

To a youngster from such a small and remote city, it was akin to a carp leaping through the dragon’s gate. It was an event that would completely change his identity and status.

After Yang Ku was defeated, Lin Xun only lacked nine matches to challenge Cheng Lixue’s record!

How could anyone not be shocked by this?

Successive victories meant that he had to keep winning in the arena and could not lose or withdraw halfway. Hence, it was known to be an unusually difficult feat.

Currently, Lin Xun had already won thirty times in a row and had even defeated a formidable opponent like Yang Ku. It was easy to imagine how big of a shock this was for the onlookers.

The sudden silence was undoubtedly proof of this.

“Fierce! He’s too fierce!”

The attendant tightly clenched his fists as his body trembled with excitement and his face flushed red.

Xia Xiaochong grew increasingly depressed and could not help but complain, “It’s such a big arena, is there no one who can match Big Brother Lin Xun?”

Although her voice wasn’t loud, it sounded especially loud amidst the silence and caused the crowd’s expression to turn strange.

What was this girl implying?

Was she provoking and challenging everyone on the youngster’s behalf?

The expressions of several participating experts immediately darkened, thinking that this was a very direct provocation toward them!

For a time, experts began to cast hostile and unfriendly gazes at Lin Xun.

In the arena, Lin Xun was happily counting the rewards he would receive from his thirty consecutive victories only for his body to immediately stiffen at Xia Xiaochong’s words as the corners of his mouth began to twitch.

Lin Xun turned around and angrily shouted, “Xia Xiaochong!”

The girl was an expert hate-drawer. A single sentence from her was all it had taken to make him everyone’s common enemy!

It must be known that he had participated in the matches to polish his martial arts while hoping to earn some aeth essence on the side. His aim definitely wasn’t to create trouble and provoke everyone!

“Ah? Big Brother Lin Xun, did I say anything wrong?”

Xia Xiaochong displayed an innocent expression, appearing to not understand what she had done.

Lin Xun held up his forehead with his hand, nearly vomiting blood from frustration. It was impossible to explain to this airhead!

He jumped off the stage, grabbed Xia Xiaochong by the arm, and began pulling her toward the exit.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun instructed the attendant. “You there, that’s all for today. Go collect my reward for me and do it quickly!”

The attendant hurriedly approached and patiently explained, “Young Master, I’m not called ‘you there.’ This servant’s name is Dong Ba.”

“Cut the crap and hurry up!”

Lin Xun felt even more annoyed. He originally hoped to win a little more aeth essence, but from the looks of it, it would be best to leave first or he would soon become the ‘public enemy.’

“Okay, please wait a while, Young Master.” Dong Ba quickly acknowledged and ran off to fulfill the task.

“Friend, won’t you fight a few more matches? The situation looks great for you and you’re on track to break Cheng Lixue’s record. It would be regrettable if you leave at this juncture!”

Several cultivators in the audience could not help but attempt to convince Lin Xun to stay upon seeing that he was about to leave.

“Young Master, you can obtain ten times the reward if you break the record. Moreover, you’ll win an additional one hundred pieces of mid-grade aeth essence! Are you certain you want to give up on that?”

Lin Xun nearly fainted when he heard this. Ten times the reward? A hundred mid-grade aeth essence? He was going to miss out on such a golden opportunity?

“Trying to leave right after provoking us? Are you a man or not?”

Several of the participants that felt Lin Xun was looking down on them were very angry and openly called him out.

“I was wondering how formidable you were since you talked so big, but it turns out that you’re all talk!”

“Stay if you have the balls. I’ll definitely teach you an unforgettable lesson today!”

This only triggered Lin Xun more, causing him to display a peeved expression as he secretly ground his teeth. How dare they, did they really think he was leaving because he was scared?

How laughable!

Although Xia Xiaochong had been overly blunt, Lin Xun did feel that no one could threaten him on the equal-cultivation-stage arena unless another supreme path expert came!

Regretfully, if he did voice his thoughts, it would only draw even more anger and slander instead of convincing the other cultivators.

Although it was the truth, who would believe such a thing without any concrete evidence?

The only way to prove it was to defeat every single one of them. However, that would draw too much attention and create an unnecessary commotion which Lin Xun didn’t want.

In the end, Lin Xun resolved to leave and avoid everyone’s attention for the time being.

“Young Master, will you be coming again tomorrow?”

Before he left, the attendant, Dong Ba, arrived with the reward which substantially improved Lin Xun’s mood.

Lin Xun casually replied, “Depends.”

“Hmph, there’s no point in coming tomorrow. There’s no one in the Silver Pheasant Martial Arena who can match Big Brother Lin Xun, how…”

Xia Xiaochong pursed her lips in a dissatisfied manner.

Lin Xun covered her mouth before she could finish, before hurriedly dragging her away.

Dong Ba loudly reminded them from behind, “Young Master, our boss said that you can have a fifty percent discount if you come tomorrow!”

……

At the inn.

Lin Xun was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when he returned. He glared at the main culprit, Xia Xiaochong, and said, “Xiaochong, why do you want me to be beaten up so badly?”

Xia Xiaochong propped up her tiny face with her hands as she sat at the table and unhappily said, “I just don’t want to become a summer insect.”

“Summer insect?” Lin Xun was taken aback. What kind of silly reason was this?

“You said earlier that you can’t have a discussion about ice with a summer insect!”

Xia Xiaochong angrily said, “I’m called Xia Xiaochong, not summer insect (Xiao Chong)!”

Lin Xun was initially stunned but soon burst out in laughter, placing his hands on his hips. Summer insect (Xiao Chong)? Xia Xiaochong? What a perfect match!

“What’s so funny?” Xia Xiaochong bristled in anger as her large clear eyes stared daggers at Lin Xun, wishing she could bite him.

Lin Xun could not help but laugh again as he explained, “Uh, I just think that you have a pretty good name.”

The girl was as pure as a blank sheet of paper. From a certain viewpoint, she was indeed somewhat similar to a ‘summer insect.’

Of course, Lin Xun refrained from speaking about the topic to prevent any further trouble.

“Friend, did you also see Longevity Land’s current saint, Yu Lingkong today?”

A carefree voice suddenly sounded from outside as Fang Linhan strode in and looked at Lin Xun.
