Battling Records of the Chosen One Chapter 143: Provocation

Under the watchful eyes of the people, in the face of challenge from trainees of other camps, Lin Xun refused it without hesitation, which was beyond everyone’s expectation!

Was he too decisive, wasn’t he?

Everyone present was stunned.

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid? Or considering yourself not worthy of the first place of the quarterly assessment?” some sneered.

“I thought you were so extraordinary, without expecting that you dare not even measure strength with us. You are really disappointing.”

“Lin Xun, if you're afraid to accept the challenge, just admit it in front of everyone present that you're not good enough to deserve the title of first place in the quarterly assessment!”

Trainees of other camps who came to challenge Lin clamored, using all kinds of sarcasm and mockery.

Even some of the trainees of Camp 39 could not bear the vitriol. But Lin Xun just keep calm and seemed not aware of anything, which made lots of people speechless.

Was this guy not angry at all about being subjected to such provocation and criticism?

But no matter what anyone else thought, or how the other campers clamored, it seemed that Lin Xun determined not to fight.

The attitude of not fighting, in the eyes of the others, was definitely a kind of cowardice, which made those who clamored more unbridled.

At last, even Ning Meng could not stand it and asked Lin Xun with a puzzled frown, “Can you really bear it?”

Lin Xun was in a trance, “In the camp, there is no rule that a challenge from another person must be accepted, right?”

Ning Meng was astounded, “But… Don't you think it's embarrassing?”

Lin Xun sighed, “I don’t have time to fool around with them. Only the foolish would consent to such a thing, when there is no gain.”

Ning Meng was in a daze for a while, “Have you no shame, fellow? Or self-respect?”

Lin Xun smiled, “What do you think?”

Ning Meng was annoyed and said, “How could I possibly know what's on your mind?”

With hands clasped behind his back, Lin Xun said slowly, “Then leave it alone, and let them make as much noise as possible.”

After perceiving sagaciously that Lin Xun seemed to be scheming something Ning Meng felt tempted, and then said, “Well, as you like. It’s not me who loses face anyway.”

On the other side, Shi Yu was looking at everything in the field with a smile on the face, and whispered to Lee Qiu beside him, “Have you ever seen Lin Xun suffer any losses?”

Lee Qiu was stunned, “Nope.”

A group of trainees from other camps rushed into Camp 39, trying to provoke Lin Xun, while Lin Xun chose to retreat from the beginning to the end. It also made Lee Qiu uncomfortable, and he felt that Lin Xun was too spineless, not like a young overmatch with lofty and unyielding character at all.

But after hearing Shi Yu's words, Lee suddenly realized that according to Lin Xun's usual style, he seemed to be the one who would never suffer a loss.

With this thought, Lee Qiu looked at Lin Xun in the distance in a slightly different way. Was this guy plotting something?

In the distance, Gong Ming, Lei Shinyue, Ye Qi and some others were also watching this scene. Their looks were different, but no one said anything.

While Qi Can and Mou Lengshin were sort of not satisfied with Lin Xun’s behavior, and thought that this guy was a disgrace to Camp 39.

A large number of trainees of Camp 39 owned the same idea as Qi and Mou, who all felt displeased and humiliated for what Lin Xun’s reaction.

Only Lee Duxing watched this farce for a moment silently and then turned away, as if this farce failed to attract his interest and attention.

…

It was right lunchtime and Drillmaster Young Ke was not in the camp, which helped the farce last for a while.

As time went by, more and more trainees came to see the fun and soon the entrance of Camp 39 was impenetrable for too many people there.

When seeing Lin Xun dare not accept the challenge, most people showed ridicule and disdain. Was this the No.1 of the quarterly assessment?

He was an extreme disgrace!

It was true that most people still could not accept the fact that Lin Xun won the first place of the quarterly assessment, and they questioned the ranking. A guy who had never been known before, unexpectedly vaulted to the first place of the quarterly assessment, exceeding Bai Lingshi, Zhao Yin and some other powerful trainees, which was too unreasonable!

So many people all agreed that Lin Xun must have cheated!

It was with this question in mind that when they saw Lin Xun dare not even accept the challenge, they doubted more about Lin Xun’s actual strength.

Naturally, attacks in speech and accusations against Lin Xun were inevitable.

“Lin Xun, let me ask you for the last time- do you dare to fight with me or not?” a strong teenager with a mole on his chin shouted at Lin dismissively.

The boy, named Wang Wenyuan, was from Camp 7, and he was the most arrogant among the people present.

At this moment, Lin Xun opened his mouth at last and laughed, "Fine, why not? But would it be a waste of time if there was not any gain, wouldn’t it?”

Wang Wenyuan was stupefied, “What?”

Lin Xun said casually, “If you could stake a thousand Condensate Pills on this fight, I could play against you at once? How do you think about it?”

It was worth as much as twenty thousand imperial silver coins, which was absolutely an incredible amount of money.

Even in Bloodthirsty Camp, you needed to exchange three thousand points for one thousand Condensate Pills!

"You just don’t want to fight with me, do you? Who can afford such a large number of stakes?” Wang Wenyuan was furious.

The others frowned, too. They had thought Lin Xun was finally going to accept the challenge, without expecting he would make such an outrageous request, and was it different from refusing to fight?

What was the meaning of three thousand points?

Now Lee Duxing, who had the most points in Camp 39, had only 1,800 points!

All of a sudden, many people present thought Lin Xun laid down this condition just because he didn't want to fight. They were increasingly contemptuous of Lin Xun.

"I wonder whether you dare to accept my challenge or not?” Lin Xun smiled calmly.

"This is not a matter of courage! All of my points are not enough to get 1,000 Condensate Pills!”

Wang Wenyuan raged, "You're just kidding me!”

Lin Xun seemed to be looking at an idiot, “If you can't afford the stakes alone, just borrow some from someone else. As long as you scrape together 1,000 Condensate Pills, I will accept your challenge at any time!”

"Brother Wang, since this guy has said so, I'll give you 100 Condensate Pills!" someone sneered and stood out.

"I give you fifty!”

"I give you eighty!”

Many people present held Lin Xun’s behavior in detestation, and thought Lin just didn't dare to fight. To make such an excessive demand was extremely impudent.

Only for a moment did Wang Wenyuan unexpectedly raise a thousand Condensate Pills, which also showed how much these people hated Lin Xun.

"Lin Xun, he has got enough stakes. What else do you want to say?” many of the people present cried, with a sneer.

The expressions of Shi Yu, Ning Meng, Lee Qiu and some other people were all strange, for they knew what Lin was going to do for sure.

Lin was trying to seize the chance to extort what they had from these guys!

Other trainees of Camp 39, like Qi Can and Mou Lengshin, had no such consciousness; even though they saw through something vaguely, they didn't think it was what Lin wanted.

"I think it will be interesting to see, under such circumstances, whether he would consent to this competition or not,” Qi Can chuckled.

"In this case, it will be unreasonable to refuse your challenge again.”

Lin Xun looked around, and said to Wang Wenyuan with a smile, “Are you sure you want to fight with me?”

“Absolutely…”

Before Wang Wenyuan finished his words, he was interrupted by a boy, “Wenyuan, let me deal with him.”

A thin teenager came out of the crowd, his long hair shone with grey luster, and his eyes were as sharp as eagles’. As soon as he appeared, many people looked askance at him with fear.

"It's Shiao Kun of Camp 7! It is said that he ranks in the top three in Camp 7, only a little weaker than Bai Lingshi and Yin Rufeng.”

“He is also badass. Shiao Kun, a member of the old clan of Shiao, is the most outstanding one of this generation in Clan of Shiao. You see his grey hair? It is obviously that Shiao's ancestral unique 'Storm-killing Boxing' has been practiced by him to a certain degree!”

"Shiao Kun is really powerful. I've heard that it's easy for him to rank first in some other camps.”

"Yes, there are too many overmatches in Camp 7. Among them, Bai Lingshi is just like an impregnable mountain and no one can surpass her.”

The crowd discussed. When they saw Shiao Kun appear, they all became excited.

Ning Meng, Shi Yu and some others could not help but frown. The substitution in this fight? This accident was out of their reckoning. They had heard something about Shiao Kun, an overmatch with undoubtedly great power, even neck and neck with them.

If Lin Xun fought with him, it was hard to say who was the winner.

Lin Xun squinted his eyes, looking at Shiao Kun, and said suddenly, “If you want to fight with me, you need to stake 1,000 Condensate Pills, too.”

Wow!

The people present almost couldn't believe their ears. Was Lin Xun afraid? He put forward an even more outrageous request unexpectedly!

“You're despicable! "Wang Wenyuan shouted angrily.

Lin Xun was unhappy, “You plan to change people before the fight even begins, and I only make one request. Who is more despicable?”

“You…”

Before Wang Wenyuan said anything, he was interrupted by Shiao Kun, and then Shiao Kun stared at Lin Xun brutally, and said, “Ok, I agree.”

Lin Xun smiled then, “I like your forthright manner!”

Shiao Kun said calmly, “When you lose, I hope you will take the initiative to give up the first place of the quarterly assessment and admit that you don't deserve the honor.”

His words made the atmosphere suddenly tense and filled with a touch of sternness, delighting many people who couldn't wait to see Shiao Kun give Lin a profound lesson.

To this, Lin Xun just nodded slightly.

At that moment, the warm smile on his handsome face disappeared, and his chiseled face was calm.

Inside his body, the vast spiritual energy slowly ran, like a black dragon sleeping beneath the abyss woke up.
