?75: Chapter 74 Ling Family 75: Chapter 74 Ling Family Luo Qingshan walked up behind Lin Xuan, staring curiously at the engrossed young man.

    “Red Team and Blue Side, which one do you think will win?”

    “Red Team,” Lin Xuan replied subconsciously, “Although the Blue Side is currently having the upper hand, they haven’t inflicted any substantial damage, and their long attacks are rapidly depleting their Spiritual Power.”

    “On the other hand, the Red Team is moving cautiously, planning each step.

    I believe they will soon counterattack.”

    Lin Xuan’s voice wasn’t very loud, but the people around still heard him.

    Among them were some martial artists who disagreed, as they had bet on the Blue Side’s victory and obviously wouldn’t believe Lin Xuan’s words.

    After Lin Xuan had said this, he suddenly realized, turned his head, and found a young man standing behind him.

    “Lin Xuan, you’re too engrossed.

    You didn’t even hear me calling you, nor have you greeted Senior Luo!” Ye Qing said annoyingly.

    The young man before him was actually Senior Luo.

    Stunned by Luo Qingshan’s dazzling aura, Lin Xuan cupped his fists and said, “Lin Xuan greets Senior Luo.”

    “This young man is actually Luo QingShan’s junior!” Nearby, many people took a few more glances at Lin Xuan.

    At that moment, the situation on the screen changed.

    The Red Team, seizing a mistake by the Blue Side, counterattacked swiftly and won the match.

    This result made the surrounding people regard Lin Xuan differently; those who had bet on the Red Team were naturally overjoyed, but those who had bet on the Blue Side stared at Lin Xuan fiercely.

    “Kid, it’s all because you blabbered that I lost so many spirit stones!” someone angrily stood up.

    “If you have bad judgment, don’t blame others!” Lin Xuan retorted with a cold laugh.

    Seeing Luo Qingshan behind Lin Xuan, the man didn’t dare to say much, only muttering a few words under his breath before sitting down angrily.

    “Really?

    I also lost spirit stones, but I don’t think my judgment is poor.

    Rather, I think your mouth is too nasty.

    Why don’t you slap yourself?”

    This voice made the surrounding martial artists startle, wondering who this brash person was.

    Even Luo Qingshan frowned.

    Lin Xuan’s analysis had been sensible and not nonsense, and just as he had acknowledged Lin Xuan as his junior, someone was already looking for trouble, possibly with bad intentions.

    Sure enough, after that voice sounded, a young man in a blue shirt stood up, surrounded by several respectful, black-clothed guards.

    “It’s actually Ling Ze!” some martial artists recognized the young man in the blue shirt.

    Luo Qingshan’s brow also furrowed slightly.

    Ling Ze was also a disciple of the Xuantian Sect and was from the Ling Family, one of the Four Great Families, his status comparable to Luo’s, and the relationship between the two families was not very friendly.

    “Aren’t you going to slap yourself, or do you want me to do it?” Ling Ze sneered, upset about losing some spirit stones, and more importantly, because he was friends with Zhang Qian, he naturally recognized Lin Xuan, and wouldn’t miss an opportunity to humiliate him.

    Lin Xuan stared at the young man in the blue shirt, sensing the Ninth Rank of Pulse Condensation aura emanating from him, and smirked slightly: “May I ask who this esteemed brother is?

    If you lack foresight, that’s your problem, but why sour grapes over a loss?”

    Lin Xuan’s mocking words echoed through the hall.

    The martial artists around were stunned for a long time, and even Ling Ze was taken aback for a moment.

    However, soon after, his face contorted with malice.

    “Kid, you’re looking for death!” Ling Ze crushed the wine glass in his hand. Sёarch* The N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Swoosh!

    A black shadow darted from beside Ling Ze, striking at Lin Xuan like lightning, accompanied by a surge of intense heat.

    Hiss crack!

    A fiery red palm struck towards Lin Xuan, the terrifying heat instantly melting the surrounding tables and chairs.

    This attack by the black-clothed person was very sudden and swift, leaving no time for others to react.

    A sharp scream rang out, and the next moment, Lin Xuan disappeared on the spot, leaving only a few golden arcs.

    The black-clothed martial artist hadn’t expected his strike to miss, but before he could react, a glowing hand had gripped him, causing him unbearable pain.

    “Not good!” The man’s face paled dramatically as he looked towards Luo Qingshan in panic.

    “Scram!” Luo Qingshan bellowed angrily, pushing the black-clothed martial artist away and quickly turning to look elsewhere.

    Three yards away, Lin Xuan’s figure reappeared.

    “Brother Lin, are you alright?” Ye Qing’s complexion turned pale with fright.

    “I’m fine.” Lin Xuan smiled, his eyes twinkling with light.

    He had almost been a second too slow, which could have cost him his life.

    He wouldn’t provoke trouble, but he wouldn’t let off anyone who did provoke him!

    “Ling Ze, you’ve gone too far.

    Don’t you know the rules here?” Luo Qingshan berated coldly.

    “Sorry, this subordinate is new and doesn’t know the rules,” Ling Ze said nonchalantly.

    “Go apologize to Mr.

    Luo.”

    “Mr.

    Luo, this humble one didn’t know the rules, please forgive me!” the black-clothed martial artist said respectfully.

    Throughout this time, Ling Ze spoke only with Luo Qingshan, completely ignoring Lin Xuan.

    “Lin Xuan, don’t be impulsive.

    Ling Ze is a disciple of one of the Four Great Families, with enormous power behind him,” Ye Qing whispered, “And he is on good terms with Zhang Qian, so be careful.”

    “No wonder!” Lin Xuan realized.

    Although angry, he knew that if he acted impulsively here, he would not make it out.

    What’s most important now was to improve his strength.

    With enough power, he could even trample the Four Great Families beneath his feet!

    “Sister, do you have any spiritual stones?

    Lend me some,” Lin Xuan asked.

    “Oh, yes!” Ye Qing responded, even Luo Qingshan looked at Lin Xuan in surprise, worried that he might start a fight right there, which would make it very difficult for him as Luo’s senior.

    “Brother Lin, if you need spiritual stones, I have some,” Luo Qingshan offered.

    “Five thousand low-grade spiritual stones, is that enough?”

    “That’s enough, thank you Brother Luo.” Lin Xuan accepted a Purple Crystal Card and then sat down, treating Ling Ze and the others as if they were air.

    “Hmph!” Ling Ze snorted coldly, furious inside.

    Everything about Lin Xuan, from avoiding the deadly palm to watching the contest as if nothing had happened, was completely unexpected.

    He felt ignored, which drove him mad.

    “Boy, you’re going to regret provoking me; I’ll make your life a living hell!” Ling Ze suppressed his rage, starting to think of ways to deal with Lin Xuan.

    Meanwhile, Lin Xuan asked Luo Qingshan about some aspects of the competition.

    Since it was a virtual competition, there were no restrictions.

    However, participating required a fee of one hundred low-grade spiritual stones.

    Other martial artists would place their bets, with different odds for different competitors.

    After listening, Lin Xuan found the rules simple and decided to give it a try.

    Before the match, the screen showed information about both competitors, such as cultivation and match records, to aid the martial artists in placing their bets.

    Lin Xuan didn’t rush to bet but watched the matches carefully to get to know the competitors as he was new there.

    Finally, after a few matches, Lin Xuan decided to make his move.
