Battling Records of the Chosen One

Chapter 138: Brilliant Starlight

Translator: Flying-Lines

There was a quarter of an hour before start of the quarterly assessment, all trainees were waiting quietly, trying to reach their best fighting states.

Opponents in this time were abnormal. Once they were unable to pass the examination, they wound be eliminated from the Bloodthirsty Camp. No one dared to be careless in such circumstances.

Lin Xun was also silently watching the arena in the distance. When he saw the Fire Barbarians imprisoned in the cages, and some information about Fire Barbarians emerged in his mind.

“Hey, the bet was that fellow would be the first to succeed? It’s a great joke!”

A sharp sneer came suddenly.

Lin Xun knew, without looking back, that “that fellow” referred to himself.

He even knew that at this time many trainees around were looking at him with a hint of tease and disdain.

Even Shi Yu and Ning Meng looked anxious and doubtful.

All this was rooted in Young Man’s bet with Shu Sanqi, which spread through the Bloodthirsty Camp overnight and caused an uproar.

And Lin Xun became the most notable trainee in the whole Bloodthirsty Camp. He was at the eye of the storm of various questions and public opinions with disdain.

Even the trainees of Camp 39 were talking about this bet and didn’t think Lin could make it. Although Lin Xun had proved himself through various efforts and his score had ranked among the top ones, most people would not believe that he could be the first trainee to kill a Barbarian Soldier in this quarterly assessment.

In their opinion, this bet was literally a mischief!

In Camp 39, Gong Ming, Shi Yu, Ning Meng and Qi Can, or even Lee Qiu, Mou Lengshin, and Ye Qi were more powerful than Lin Xun. No one believed that Lin Xun could make it under such circumstances!

Most importantly, this was quarterly assessment. It was a contest among twenty camps. There were many overmatches who were much more powerful than Lin in other camps.

Lin Xun was far from comparable to those trainees who had been famous for a long time in the Bloodthirsty Camp, like Bai Lingshi, Zhao Yin, Zhangsun Heng and Lee Duxing.

Nobody really took this bet seriously. It was just like a ridiculous farce. So ridiculous!

Even when Shi Yu and Ning Meng heard the news, they were totally shocked. They seized Lin Xun and questioned him for a long time, wondering if he was a basket case. How could he participate in such an absurd bet?

Lin Xun could say nothing but smile bitterly.

How could he tell them that all this was caused by Young Man?

So at this moment, Lin Xun could only turn a deaf ear to all kinds of sneers coming from time to time.

“Lin Xun, can you really do that?”

Ning Meng got close to Lin Xun undetected and looked Lin Xun up and down, frowning, “Look at you! You have only a saber and an unimpressive crossbow, with no other spiritual equipment. Please come and look around, the others are all armed to the teeth!”

Lin Xun was in a daze, then turned his head and scanned around. Sure enough, except Lin Xun himself, all the other trainees in Camp 39 were covered with all kinds of spiritual equipment, such as armors, shoulder protectors, wrist guards, combat boots, swords, crossbows and bows. Everyone was like a spiritual equipment shelf, releasing bright and dazzling light all over.

“So exaggerated?!” Lin Xun had not observed others carefully before. Now, he was astonished with his eyes wide open that these guys really didn’t begrudge spending so many points in order to pass the quarterly assessment.

Even overmatches like Ning Meng, Shi Yu, and Qi Can equipped themselves well without exception.

Seeing this, Lin Xun sighed with emotion; if this was the real battlefield, as long as he robbed one of these guys of all his spiritual equipment, he would get rich overnight and could afford to buy a house in the Forbidden City.

Ning Meng suddenly felt uneasy when Lin Xun looked at them just like a profiteer stared at a rich customer.

“Are you fucking listening to me on earth?” Ning Meng roared angrily.

“Oh, it’s not a big deal. I have certain confidence in success,” Lin Xun casually said. Although he had no other spiritual equipment except a saber and a crossbow, he was not worried at all.

“I have been fretting about you but you still look absent-minded!” Ning Meng became more and more angry. “Just be careful and try your best. If you fail in this examination, I will beat you to death!”

Then Ning Meng left with anger.

Looking at Ning Meng leave, Lin Xun felt helpless for a while. He looked at the Meteors Crossbow in his hand and murmured to himself, “I can also pass the examination without you?”

While waiting, trainees of the other camps were also discussing the bet on Lin Xun in their respective assessment areas.

There were sneers, disdain, banter, astonishment…. All kinds of comments could be heard without end.

Some people even felt indignant that Lin Xun was so arrogant to underestimate the other people. He really should be beaten hard and be given an unforgettable lesson.

Some top trainees, including Bai Lingshi, Zhao Yin, Zhangsun Heng and Lee Duxing, also heard about the bet but treated it as a joke. And of course, they didn’t take it seriously.

This kind of farce was only staged by clowns. If they paid attention to it, they would lower themselves.

…

Outside the major assessment areas, there was a temporary central camp built on a low hill. Standing on the hill, one could overlook different assessment areas.

“It’s not too late for you to regret now,” Shu Sanqi drew back his sight and said slowly.

“Chief Xu, do you think I will go back on what I have said temporarily? I think you’ll suffer a setback in front of me this time!” Young Man chuckled and her beautiful face was full of confidence.

Shu Sanqi narrowed his eyes, looked at the confident Young Man by his side and finally chose to remain silence.

…

A quarter of an hour later, the bell rang and the assessment began!

In the assessment area of Camp 39, trainees went up on the arenas one by one. When one stepped on the arena, a light curtain emerged immediately and shrouded the whole arena.

In this way, the trainee on the arena couldn’t see the battle condition on the other arena, which also avoided the impact of other battles.

Lin Xun looked calm and climbed onto one of the arenas. He stood still there, with an ethereal temperament at this moment.

Lin Xun looked at his opponent quietly and that Fire Barbarian in the cage were roaring fiercely to him.

“Human trash, I am Barbarian Soldier Bafu. I have killed lots of trash like you. If you are afraid, you should hand over your heart. I will let you die with less pain.”

The Fire Barbarian who called himself Bafu was a hot-tempered middle-aged Barbarian with eyes like a pair of bloody flames burning, releasing bloodthirsty frenzy.

Even though he was imprisoned in a cage, Bafu’s vigor was still terrible. This was indeed a kind of unique vigor from those who had experienced hundreds of battles. If some cowardly practitioners of Martial Realm faced Bafu, they must be so frightened they would yield.

But Lin Xun seemed unaware of Bafu’s vigor, quietly looking at Bafu with his indifferent black eyes.

Voodoo-barbarian was the greatest enemy of the empire. They were cruel, tyrannical and barbaric!

In previous wars, whenever they captured a city of the empire, they would carry out a large-scale slaughter ceremony to pay tribute to their god they believed in.

In their minds, humans were animal-like inferior creatures and the dirtiest and despicable garbage in the world. Humans were the blasphemers intolerable to the god of Voodoo-barbarian.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xun could not have any good opinion of Barbarians.

“Hha, you fuck useless scrap of a thing. Have you been scared to death? Dare not utter a word even, uh-huh? You human beings are cowardly to the extreme!” Bafu laughed fiercely, slamming against the cage with his hands arrogantly.

“You are eager to die.”

Lin Xun thought for a while and said, “I understand you want to die quickly. After all, you barbarians are all unintelligent.”

Hearing the word “Unintelligent”, Bafu was suddenly in a violent rage and snarled with full red eyes.

Lin Xun was finally convinced that Drillmaster Shu Sanqi was right. It was easy to anger a barbarian. It was enough to scold them for unintelligence because they had been trying to get rid of the ill name – “the Unintelligent” for hundreds of years, but they hadn’t achieved what they wished. The reason was another long story.

In fact, an ill name was nothing, but it was regarded as the greatest shame by the barbarian. Perhaps only the unintelligent would care about such a thing. It also proved from the other side that many barbarians were really unintelligent…

Dang!

As the bell rang, the quarterly assessment kicked off and the cage imprisoning the Fire Barbarians opened automatically.

With a boom, the barbarian named Bafu who had already been mad with Lin Xun rushed out at the first moment, with a terrible fire-red glow surging all over his body.

“Human trash, go to hell!”

Bafu was like a god of death. He leaped into the air, holding terrible fire in both hands and smashed it hard at Lin Xun.

Rumbling~ Air was burning, the terrible waves of power swept and deafening shock-wave noise filled the air.

This was the combat effectiveness comparable to that of a practitioner in Gang Spirit Realm. Once an attack was launched, its power would pose a lethal threat to any people in Martial Realm.

Lin Xun’s skin was tingling and his eyes could not help squinting. He could feel the horror of the attack, and even he was not confident enough to counter.

But Lin Xun did not move a step from beginning to end, firmly locking Bafu’s track of attack…

Until Bafu came in mid-air, Lin Xun raised his right hand suddenly. A seemingly ordinary black crossbow was held in his left palm; at the same time, Lin Xun’s right finger pulled the trigger accurately.

Bang!

In an instant, a fit of strange sound low like a xiao (a vertical bamboo flute) arose.

Buff in mid-air smiled with disdain and thought, “Want to kill me just with a crossbow? Ridiculous!”

On the battlefield, Bafu had killed many humans attempting to attack him with crossbows. He had been greeting such attacks with scorn.

But in just a moment, Bafu’s pupils shrank suddenly. He realized that something was wrong. This crossbow seemed different from what he had seen before.

In Bafu’s vision, something like fireworks exploded one after another with silvery starlight. It was exceedingly dazzling and beautiful.

What was this?

Bafu felt the extreme danger and his soul was even trembling violently. The beautiful and brilliant starlight almost drowned both his body and spirit.
