Chapter 371: War Of Words

"Hey, what are you doing, Young Master Wang? Let's go, shall we?" Yun Lintian looked at Wang Jue with an impatient expression.

Wang Jue's face was unsightly. He glared at Yun Lintian without a word.

"What's wrong?" Yun Lintian pretended to frown. "Don't tell me Young Master Wang is afraid?"

What else could he say? Who told him to jump into the pit Yun Lintian dug? Wang Jue could only bite the bullet. "Who's afraid of you? Go!"

Yun Lintian grinned and was about to move toward the arena. Suddenly, several white lights flashed, and Bai Qingyi, along with others, appeared near the training ground entrance one by one.

This bizarre scene caused everyone to look at it in puzzlement.

"Brother Yun." Bai Qingyi quickly walked toward Yun Lintian, followed by Qin Yiran, Qin Yuyan, Lan Shuiying, and Ye Xiaolong.

"Why did you quit? I thought all of you would continue." Yun Lintian asked with confusion.

"It's like this, Brother Yun. Since you cleared the Forest Maze, we have been notified and sent out. The maze will close for a week before we can enter again." Ye Xiaolong, who did not have much screen time, hurriedly grabbed the opportunity to explain.

"Oh?" Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. He clearly had never told them he had reached the final ring. How did they know he cleared it? What kind of that notification?

Seeing doubt on Yun Lintian's face, Qin Yuyan took the initiative to explain. "There was a female voice rang out in our mind telling us you had cleared the maze."

"Female voice?" Yun Lintian's brows raised. He didn't expect Tian Zuo to have this kind of design. 

Is he really someone from Earth? Yun Lintian felt this training ground's design was too novel to be created by people here. Not to mention this university-like system.

"What's going on here, Brother Yun?" Bai Qingyi looked at Wang Jue and the crowd with a frown.

"Look." Qin Yiran pointed at the ranking stele. 

It was at this time everyone understood what was going on here. These people here must come to see the record-breaker. What surprised them more was Wang Jue had actually cleared it as well, and his record wasn't inferior to Yun Lintian's much.

"Shall we go now, Young Master Wang?" Yun Lintian turned to look at Wang Jue with a smile when he saw the latter try to slip away.

Wang Jue cursed inwardly and said. "Go."

"Oh? Why is it so lively here?" At this moment, a male voice suddenly came from the distance. When everyone turned to look in the voice's direction, they saw Wang Jun calmly walking toward them with a faint smile hung on his lips.

Yun Lintian knew this guy pretended to be confused here, but in fact, he had been observing everything here for all this time.

"Heh! Can you please put away your hypocrite smile, Wang Jun? It makes me want to puke every time seeing it." Wu Qingcheng crossed her arms before her chest and snorted coldly.

Wang Jun didn't stop moving as he responded. "Miss Wu, did your esteemed father know you are here?"

Although Wu Qingcheng's background was extremely powerful, Wang Jun did not fear her in the slightest. He was well aware of her weakness. Wu Qingcheng had secretly sneaked out and hidden in this place. As long as he was willing to report this, Wu Qingcheng would soon be taken away by her family.

Wu Qingcheng's eyes narrowed, coldly staring at Wang Jun. In the next moment, she smiled sweetly and said. "Hehe. I'm just kidding. You don't have to take it to your heart, Young Master Wang."

Following that, she turned to look at Yun Lintian and gave him an apologetic smile, as if telling him she couldn't help in this matter.

Yun Lintian was speechless seeing this. Where was your dignity, Fourth Sister? At the same time, he seemed to understand something about her. Looked like the relationship between her and her father wasn't good. Otherwise, she wouldn't escape to this place.

"Second Brother!" Wang Jue hurriedly came to Wang Jun's side as if he had found a savior. However, he could obviously perceive his brother's anger underneath that seemingly calm face, causing him to shut his mouth instantly.

Wang Jun pretended to look at the stele and said with fake surprise. "Hmm? Has someone broken the record? I thought someone was playing a firework earlier."

Everyone was immediately speechless. Did Wang Jun think everyone here was a fool? The earlier golden light was so dazzling. How could it possibly be a firework?

Wang Jun turned to Yun Lintian and said 'sincerely.' "Congratulations, Junior Brother Yun. You're the most extraordinary youth I have ever seen. With your talent, I believe you can be ranked in the top ten of the Azure Profound ranking."

Everyone was surprised. Of course, most of the students knew what Azure Profound ranking was. It was a ranking representing all the heavenly geniuses below fifty years old in the world. They didn't expect Wang Jun to give such a high evaluation to Yun Lintian.

On the contrary, Yun Lintian simply had zero clue about this ranking. However, from people's expressions, it wasn't difficult to understand. 

Before Yun Lintian could say anything, Wang Jun spoke further. "With your heavenly talent, I don't think my younger brother can be your opponent. So, I think this battle is unnecessary." He glanced at everyone and continued. "I know everyone has heard about Junior Brother Yun's high battle prowess before. I believe he can no longer stay in the same bracket as his peers. Instead, he should be bracketed with the Saint Profound Realm student. Don't you think so?"

F*ck! What a good Wang Jun. Yun Lintian couldn't help cursing inwardly. This Wang Jun purposely blew him up to the sky to find a way out for his brother and set a trap for him.

Hearing this, all the students and teachers looked at each other perplexedly. Though they were a bit confused, Wang Jun's statement seemed to make sense.

Wang Jun turned to Yun Lintian and said with a faint smile. "My younger brother is not talented enough. It is normal that he's not Junior Brother Yun's opponent… How about this? I am willing to be your spar partner in his stead. After all, as his elder brother, I have to take responsibility for his words."
