Martial World's
Ch 973 - Provokes and Ignores

The dining table of the Phoenix Hall was carved from fire spirit stone and was extremely spacious. When the five young men sat down, it did not seem to be crowded at all.
Two of them had red hair. Red hair was a symbol of the Huo Family Clan. Only junior direct descendants of the Huo Family Clan with rich bloodlines had red hair. When Lin Ming met the Huo Family Clan juniors in Timeworn Phoenix City in the lower realms they did not have such fiery red hair.
As for the others, Lin Ming had seen them before. They followed behind Huo Yanguang before and were disciples attached to the Huo Family Clan.
The red-haired young man leading them looked at Lin Ming. When he saw Lin Ming polishing the noodles and the bird spirit bone soup, he smiled and sneered, “You are truly a martial artist from the lower realms. You even eat like a beggar. ”
“Haha, haven't you eaten in the last three days? You ate all the soup and even licked your bowl cleaner than my family dog. ”Murid other followers echo.
They all came here to cause trouble. Their attitudes, postures, and words all conveyed a signless message to Lin Ming: 'hit me, why don't you hit me'.
According to the rules of the Phoenix Hall, personal battles between disciples were forbidden. If one wanted to fight, they would have to do it fairly at the Nirvana Altar under the supervision of the Hall Protector. This kind of rule was made to prevent disciples dying during battles. The surroundings in Phoenix Hall were too complex with too many interests mixed into one and too many factions conflicting. If personal battles between disciples were allowed, it was likely that disciples would be killed by people manipulating things behind the scenes.
If Lin Ming was the first attack, he would break the sect rules and would be imprisoned for a thousand years. It's a possibility that these people want.
Lin Ming would naturally not make the silly mistake He took out a bowl of rice that looked like it was made of pearls and diamonds and continued to eat slowly, not even glancing at the people in front of him. “Although I knew that people would try to suppress me at Phoenix Hall, I didn't think I would draw flies even when I tried to eat. ”
"You really dare call us flies? You really don't know what the word death means! Lin Ming, if you have the guts, follow me to the Nirvana Altar and let's fight! I know that you are afraid to bet with the Phoenix Blood Spear but that doesn't matter to me. I don't want it, all I want is the losers slapping their faces! ”
The one who spoke was a disciple of the non Huo Family Clan. His cultivation was at the eighth stage of Life Destruction. The other disciples with him were at the heavenly Sea realm and they also had an eighth stage Life Destruction base.
These people obviously relied on their relationship with the Huo Family Clan to enter Phoenix Hall during the Life Destruction realm. Afterwards, they failed to reach the ninth stage of Life Destruction but had yet to be expelled from Phoenix Hall as they relied on their special connection once again. The talents of these people were much worse than Huang Yuegong or Huang Yanguang.
"So, you came to test me?" Lin Ming immediately understood what was happening. These were all people from the Huo Family Clan. “It looks like Huo Yanguang is preparing me. However, in the fight involving the two top saint artifacts, he couldn't help but be careful. After I entered the heavenly Realm, the only time I fought was two sixth stage Life Destruction servants from Huang Yuegong. Besides I have yet to show my cards, so Huo Yanguang lacks confidence that he can beat me, so he sent a group of people here to test me. ”
In Huo Yanguang's opinion, these people were more than enough to test Lin Ming's hidden cards. If Lin Ming's strength was strangely abnormal, he would give up thinking about the challenge On the other hand, if their strength was similar, he would be able to prepare some special counters for Lin Ming's movements. This is what is called knowing yourself, knowing your enemies, and being invincible.
"Huo Yanguang, your plan is well thought out. But do you think everyone in this world is an idiot and you're the only smart one out there? If you send some people to test me, do you really expect me to let you just like that? ”
Lin Ming stood up. He did not care at all about the provocation of these flies. He didn't even want to challenge them and purposely point out the weaker side, as it would only draw the attention of others to himself.
“If you want to fight with me, prepare a top grade saint artifact. Why do you call yourself a junior of a great noble family if you don't even have a single top-grade saint artifact? You should work as a beggar. ”
Lin Ming left the last words behind and then walked away, leaving the group of disciples furious in anger.
"Lin Ming, you have always used the excuse of a top grade saint artifact! But the truth is you don't have the guts to fight us! ”
"You turtle!"
A group of disciples shouted loudly. Lin Ming walked away, looking as if he could not hear him at all.
His cultivation had been increasing even more lately; it was only a matter of time until he could break through to the sixth stage of Life Destruction.
For the next few days Lin Ming was constantly provoked. Some even came outside his residence to shout a challenge at him. Lin Ming ignored them all. He only issued one condition; anyone who wanted to challenge him needed to take out a top grade saint artifact.
Those who could take out top grade saint artifacts were mostly ninth stage Life Destruction Divine Transformation realm martial artists. Or at least a late Life Destruction ninth stage Divine Sea martial artist. But it was impossible for those people to challenge Lin Ming. Lin Ming had been in Phoenix Hall for a while now, and although he was regularly challenged by people, he had actually not fought.
Facing this Lin Ming who rejected all challengers, the disciples of the Huo Family Clan began to spread the news that Lin Ming was a fraud and that his true strength was actually pitiful.
Lin Ming turned a deaf ear to all this suspicious. These false rumors had no meaning to him. If he fought against one of the henchmen because of this lie and defeated him, the others would jump in to replace him. He had to keep fighting, and this did not give him time to cultivate. Moreover, if he looked strong, Huo Yanguang would retreat from challenging him.
Only a real fool would do that.
"This Lin Ming is completely unaffected!" At his residence, Huo Yanguang frowned. “I began to suspect that he was really weak. ”
In front of Huo Yanguang, there was a tall young man sitting with fire-red hair that fell to his waist. This young man had a calm demeanor and his brows slanted upwards like a sword. His cultivation was at the heavenly Transformation realm, and his inner world had begun to shift to the true great dimension; he was only one step away from becoming a heavenly Deity.
"I'm advising you not to underestimate your opponent. Even though Lin Ming is only an ant, you still haven't grown. Compared to the entire heavenly Realm, we are none other than ants as well. ”
The tall young man slowly said. Even though he was strong, he was not arrogant at all. He had always held a trace of fear and admiration towards the vast heavenly Realm.
“Sister-in-law, you are too humble! You will soon become a heavenly God and form your own world. Your body will contain life and you will become a god to all the creatures in your world, so how can you be considered an Ant? I asked uncle to come this time because I wanted to borrow something to guarantee my victory in the upcoming battle. ”
"Oh? Are you saying you want to borrow a top grade saint artifact? Well, I guess I can, but you must break through to the ninth stage of Life Destruction. ”
"Good . I have already stored my strength at the eighth stage of Life Destruction for three years; I have confidence that I can make a breakthrough. I want to gather more power, but now is still a good time. I will borrow the pressure from this fight and officially attack the ninth stage of Life Destruction. In order to ensure that I successfully enter the ninth stage of Life Destruction, I would like to have some phoenix plume blood from uncle! "
"Phoenix boasts blood?" The young man's high eyelids were raised. The Phoenix boasted blood as well as Ancient Phoenix blood, but its quality was higher than ordinary phoenix blood. The phoenix boasting blood was a bloodline found within the feathers of the Ancient Phoenix. It had the richest fire energy, and was a very high quality type of Ancient Phoenix blood.
"Yes, I can propose to the family clan for some, but you must guarantee that you can make a breakthrough, otherwise things will be difficult for me. ”
"certainly . After I break through to the ninth stage of Life Destruction, my strength will make a quick leap and I will challenge Lin Ming. He has a top grade saint artifact but I will also have one. Although the value was lower, the difference was not too great! When I was at the ninth stage of Life Destruction and I had a top grade saint artifact on top of that, if I were to fight it with the fifth stage of Life Destruction, it would be if I were to fight him with the fifth stage of Life Destruction, then even if his talent and potential were superior to mine, I would still win. But before that, I must hide my top grade saint artifact or else he will be too afraid to challenge me. When we fight, I will take it out and then .. Hehe, I really look forward to seeing his expression. ”
The tall youth nodded at Huo Yanguang's words. "Your plan is good, but if you hide a top grade saint artifact, what would you use as a gambling bet? Gambling bets should have a value equivalent to a high-quality holy artifact. Moreover, it should be enough to tempt Lin Ming into action! "
"The gambling bet will be the blood of the Phoenix bird. Phoenix boasting blood had tremendous benefits for a martial artist. If you could absorb it into your body, it would directly increase your talent as well as your affinity with the Fire Laws. I can't believe that Lin Ming will be able to refuse my offer! "
The tall youth frowned. “You want to absorb some of the phoenix blood, but you also want to use some as a gambling bet? You will need a little phoenix to boast blood. Fine . I'll help you apply as much as possible, but for how much you'll receive, all of that will depend on the Elders of the family clan. ”
"Then I have to thank my uncle. ”
Huo Yanguang was overjoyed. Although he called this young uncle, the truth was that he was not much older than him. This uncle of his paid a lot of attention to him in the family clan. If he was willing to speak on his behalf, there was a great hope his plan would succeed.
……
Time slowly passed in Phoenix Cry Palace. Unknowingly, a month had passed. In this month, Lin Ming became the subject of countless lies and slander, with the people from the Huo Family Clan viciously spreading these rumors. As they continued to spread out and Lin Ming still refused to fight, the, many people started to get suspicious of Lin Ming's strength and they began to believe that he was just a complicated weakling who was too cowardly to fight.
However, Lin Ming turned a deaf ear to all of this and grew up peacefully.
In Phoenix Cry Palace, with the nourishment of all the diverse heavenly ingredients as well as absorbing the fire origin energy of the heavenly Realm, the fifth stage Life Destruction cultivation reached perfection. His dantian was filled with origin energy that was ready to overflow at any moment.
On this day, Lin Ming opened his eyes during seclusion and said to himself, "It's time to ask Senior Fairy Feng to help me break through to the sixth stage of Life Destruction. My foundation has become as solid as possible. Breaking through to the sixth stage of Life Destruction would be a guaranteed success. ”
As Lin Ming was thinking this, he suddenly felt heaven and earth origin energy stirring around him as if some treasure was being born. He released his senses and discovered that the heaven and earth origin energy for several hundred miles was gathering towards a single point. In the sky, clouds of origin energy formed. These clouds slowly fell into the shape of a giant funnel as it connected to the residence in Phoenix Hall.
"mm? This was ... "Lin Ming's eyes shone as he flew out of his palace. At the same time, many Life Destruction, heavenly Sea, and even heavenly Transformation disciples flew out, all looking to the same location – points converging vortexes of heaven and earth origin energy.
"Someone broke through to the ninth stage of Life Destruction!"
"It was Huo Yanguang's residence. Huo Yanguang broke through, he finally succeeded! "
