Chapter 130 - 130: Young Master Tianmu1 s Challenge
The Sky Dragon Empire Grand Competition was at its final critical moment. All the martial artists in Sky Dragon City put down their work and rushed towards Sky Dragon Square.
This was because the Empire’s once-in-a-decade competition for the Prodigy Roll had truly begun. The experts of the previous Prodigy Roll and this year’s Prodigy Roll had clashed, and the 20 geniuses who had shocked the world had gathered.
This was Sky Dragon Empire’s decennial competition. It was also the strongest competition in Sky Dragon Empire in the past hundred years because this competition was held after Hidden Dragon Island.
It was time for the major factions and Eastern Spirit Azure Continent to reshuffle their power.
On this day, hundreds of thousands of spectators, as well as some mysterious experts, as well as super experts who had not appeared for many years, appeared.
The square was filled with jubilation, waiting for the geniuses to clash and for the prodigy roll’s experts to ascend.
Similarly, the square was bustling with activity, and the other betting tables were even more bustling.
This was because Li Lingtian had managed to enter the top ten with a single strike yesterday, allowing countless Warriors to earn a fortune.
Now that Li Lingtian was fighting against the previous batch’s super experts, he no longer had the slightest confidence in the countless Warriors.
In the previous Sons of Heaven Rankings, they were all super geniuses. Their cultivation was only a measure of their surface strength. Their true strength definitely exceeded their cultivation realm.
Just like Li Lingtian this time, Li Lingtian was only at the Warrior Numinous Stage. However, his various skills and heaven-defying abilities had already put him on par with a Martial Arts Grandmaster powerhouse.
It was the same for those super geniuses. Li Lingtian’s advantage would be gone if he were to compete with them.
Without an advantage, Li Lingtian’s defeat was set in stone.
Even though Li Lingtian had won and entered the top ten, there were not many people who were betting on him. Only a handful of people who had a sliver of luck would bet on Li Lingtian’s victory.
These matters were insignificant because the Heavenly Dragon Square was already packed with people. A great battle was about to break out.
When Li Lingtian and Li Xiaoxiao arrived at the plaza, Tang Zimeng was already waiting for them. Upon seeing Li Lingtian’s arrival, Tang Zimeng’s face broke into a smile and she ran up to him quickly. Like a little bird, she threw herself into Li Lingtian’s arms.
In the end, they held Li Lingtian’s arm. Tang Qingyue and the others were behind them. They shook their heads when they saw Tang Zimeng’s expression.
When they reached the stairs, the Tang family returned to their seats. Tang Zimeng was with Li Lingtian, but what puzzled Li Lingtian was that Tang Qingyue had also come to the seat of Marquis Pingbei’s Residence.
“What are you looking at? I bet 10 million on you. If you lose, you have to pay me 10 million.”
When Tang Qingyue saw Li Lingtian looking at her, she glared at him fiercely. The words that came out of her mouth stunned Li Lingtian.
What kind of logic was this? She had bet on him to win, so she had to follow him. Was this surveillance or something? If she lost, she had to pay him 10 million low-grade spirit stones. What if she won?
“Eh, why is he here too?”
Beside Nangong Haoming, a lady in palace attire who was around 17 or 18 years old looked at Li Lingtian in confusion. She had been back in the palace for more than a year but she had no idea what was happening in Sky Cloud Sect or the outside world. She was completely immersed in cultivation.
He finally managed to fight until he was a Tier Seven Warrior Spirit, but he was dragged by his father and mother to watch the competition between the Empire’s geniuses.
She knew that the purpose of this competition was to give her a chance to become the Prince Consort. However, he was not willing to do so because the person on the Prodigy Roll was already a few decades old.
It was simply impossible for the young to be ranked on the Prodigy Roll. For the sake of the empire, his father had even taken himself out to rope in genius martial artists.
He didn’t expect to see the prince of the North Marquis’s Estate who had pursued him before. That prince was just an ordinary person.
However, when she thought about how she had gone overboard with her words the last time and how it had hurt her, she felt a little upset. However, Li Lingtian had somehow taken some kind of medicine to ignore her.
” Sky Dragon Empire’s once-in-a-decade Prodigy Roll Tournament begins.”
” After four days of competition, we’ve finally selected ten super geniuses. If you want to enter the Prodigy Roll, you must compete. Let’s welcome the previous Prodigy Roll.”
Bai Ping announced loudly. Immediately, the air trembled and ten shocking auras erupted. Ten martial arts grandmasters appeared on the arena in the square.
The aura of a Martial Arts Grandmaster continued to suppress the martial artists on the square. Instantly, there was not a single martial artist within 200 meters of the arena.
“Young Master Tianmu.”
“This is Young Master Xiaoyu.”
“Young Master Batian.”
“Young master Peng.”
“Young Master Haotian, Qin Haotian.”
” Young Master Baiyun, Zhou Baiyun.”
“Sir Chengfeng.”
“Duanmu Tianjiao.”
“Shenluo Mingqing.”
“Qing Lingyue.”
(<

Instantly, the square was filled with cheers. These were the super geniuses on the Prodigy Roll who had become famous ten years ago. Each of them was an existence at the fifth and sixth level of the Martial Arts Grandmaster.
The appearance of the ten super martial artists immediately attracted the attention of countless mysterious powerhouses and forces. This was because these ten people represented the future of Sky Dragon Empire.
Not only the martial artists in the square, but even the experts on the steps were extremely envious when facing ten super martial arts grandmasters.
” What a powerful aura. A fifth or sixth tier Martial Arts Grandmaster. It’s not that easy to enter the Prodigy Roll.”
Li Lingtian felt the aura of the ten super geniuses and his heart was burning with fighting spirit.
These people represented Sky Dragon Empire’s most talented people. If he fought with these people, he would be able to reap huge benefits.
“Today is the last competition. The top ten martial artists can challenge their own suitable ranking. The winner is almost always a genius on the prodigy roll.”
” The first place will be allowed to compete four times, the second place will be allowed three times, and the third place will be allowed two times. As for the remaining places, the victors will enter the Prodigy Roll.”
Bai Ping explained the rules of the competition. In other words, those who wanted to compete for first place were allowed to compete four times. The final winner would be the first on the Prodigy Roll.
It was the same for the second and third place. The other places only had one competition. Ten against ten, there was nothing to compete for.
However, he was worried that everyone would want to compete for first place, so there was a limit to the number of times he could get this ranking.
” Princess, who do you think will be the first among the twenty people this time? Or do you have someone you like? ”
A palace maid beside Nangong Mingyue said softly with a faint smile on her face. She had spent a lot of time with the princess and the emperor’s edict. She had specially assisted the princess in choosing the prince consort.
“How about you marry an old man?”
Nangong Mingyue glanced at the palace maid beside her. Her noble aura was evident. The title of the number one beauty in Sky Dragon Empire was not so easy to obtain.
Her noble temperament made people have the urge to worship her.
At the age of eighteen, she was in the prime of her youth. Her temperament and stunning appearance were enough to make all the men in the world go crazy over her.
” Open challenge begins.”
After Bai Ping finished his announcement, he sat down. He wasn’t worried about the silence in the competition at all. Geniuses would never admit defeat. No one would be suppressed by others.
” Li Lingtian, come out now.”
Just as Bai Ping finished his announcement, an arrogant voice sounded. The appearance of this voice immediately stunned everyone in the square.
They all looked towards the source of the voice and saw Young Master Tianmu, one of the ten Martial Arts Grandmasters, landing on the stage and shouting loudly.
The other nine super geniuses left the arena because as long as someone challenged them, they would give up their positions unless they were challenged.
“Young Master Tianmu.”
“Young Master Tianmu, one of the six great young masters.”
” The six great young masters want to challenge young master Ling Tian? What’s going on?”
” Didn’t the top ten geniuses challenge the Prodigy Roll? Why is the Prodigy Roll challenging a youth? ”
” Young noble Ling Tian’s reputation isn’t small. Even young noble Tianmu is concerned about him.”
” What do you know? Young Master Tianmu was played by Young Master Ling Tian last time, and now he wants to regain his face in the arena.”
H
It’s not like that. He probably wants to kill young noble Ling Tian.”
” Even if young noble Ling Tian loses, he should be satisfied. To be able to be challenged by the Prodigy Roll, he’s destined to be famous throughout the world.”
The ancient martial art practitioners in the square were all shocked and discussed animatedly. Some of the martial arts grandmasters on the steps were also stunned.
This challenge was the complete opposite. Young Master Tianmu of the six young masters wanted to challenge Young Master Ling Tian, who was at the Martial Spirit Realm. Wasn’t this flattering Young Master Ling Tian?
“What’s going on?”
When Nangong Mingyue saw that everyone was looking at Li Lingtian on the steps, she was stunned. Why would the Six Great Young Masters challenge this prince by name?
In Sky Cloud Sect, Li Lingtian was practically an ordinary person. However, Li Lingtian had become a celebrity after a year of not seeing him.
“Tianmu, don’t tell me you still want to give this young master 20 million? This young master has plenty of spirit stones, but if you want to give it to this young master, this young master won’t mind having more.”
Li Lingtian stood up and walked toward the arena in front of him. His face was calm and he had a faint smile on his face.
“Young noble Ling Tian, young noble Ling Tian!”
“Young noble Ling Tian, young noble Ling Tian!”
Li Lingtian’s appearance was met with countless cheers. The hundreds of thousands of Warriors in the plaza were shocked. This young Warrior was surprisingly popular.
Facing the Martial Arts Grandmaster super expert and the six great young masters of the prodigy roll, he did not have the slightest fear. On the contrary, he became incomparably calm.
“What courage.”
“Facing young master Tianmu, he actually called him Tianmu. This is a blatant provocation.”
” The two of them are bound to fight but Li Lingtian doesn’t stand a chance.”
“What do you mean? Do you know about Young Master Tianmu’s strength?”
” Of course. Young Master Tianmu is already a peak fifth level Martial Ancestor. He has countless Earth Grade skills and Profound Armaments in his hands. He is extremely powerful. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a genius on the Prodigy Roll.”
Li Lingtian had already arrived at the arena amidst the discussions. He glared coldly at Young Master Tianmu. He had robbed Young Master Tianmu two days ago and he was not going to let him off the hook.
” How did he offend Young Master Tianmu? With the Marquis’s family’s status, they wouldn’t dare to offend the six young masters.”
Nangong Mingyue was stunned when she saw Li Lingtian walk onto the arena. This young man was completely different from two years ago. She could not pinpoint what was different about him.
Two years ago, this young man pursued her relentlessly, but she didn’t even look at him.
He didn’t expect that he would change so much in just two years. This was the first time he took this young man who was two years younger than him seriously.
He wasn’t that annoying. On the contrary, he had an aura that made people feel close to him. He was elegant, calm, and composed, completely inconsistent with his age..
