However, it was only an instant later that the crowd was burst into anger, wanting to flay and swallow Bao Xin Ran alive. You’re strong and so you’ve won, but was there a need to kill?
“Oops, I hit too hard. I originally planned to just knock out all his teeth. But, whatever, those who insult me deserve to die,” Bao Xin Ran said indifferently, then picked his ears again. “Which dreg still wants to fight?”
Everyone was silent. Although that person was only at the Element Gathering Tier, Bao Xin Ran’s assault was extremely shocking, since most of the Gushing Spring Tier warriors present were unable to follow the attack with their eyes. If they personally faced it, then it would probably bode more ill than well.
Moreover, this person’s attack was ruthless, and under the circumstances when one wasn’t sure of success, there truly was no one who dared to rashly go down onto field to fight him.
“Brother Bao, this humble one has come to experience it himself.” Zhong He Guang took large strides down onto the field.
“Oh, just you eight were contending over the title of the strongest prodigy of the younger generation? I’m dying of laughter. Mere several mole crickets actually having the delusion of being called first in whatever, simply unaware of what is called number one,” Bao Xin Ran said coldly, ridiculing without hesitation.
“Sir, have you had enough!” Zhong He Guang was greatly enraged, taking off the whip curled around his waist.
Bao Xin Ran picked his ears, blew a breath at his finger and said, “How about this, I’ll use one finger, and if I can’t kill you in three moves, then I’ll kneel on the ground and call you grandpa.”
Arrogant, truly too arrogant!
Using one finger to go against one of eight great prodigies of the Desolate North? Moreover, killing him within three moves? He utterly looked down on them, and not to mention if he could win or not, killing people at every turn was simply not taking the Nine Nations of the Desolate North seriously, right?

“Brother Zhong, kill him!”
“Yes, kill him!”
“We of the Nine Nations of the Desolate North aren’t weaklings!”
The crowd was infuriated, but Cheng Fei Jun made no sound. He recognized the mark on Bao Xin Ran’s sleeve—this was a large sect’s disciple, so it wasn’t worthwhile for him to offend the latter.
Anyways, it was just Zhong He Guang, so what if he died. There were still many talents left, and it didn’t matter if there was one less or one more.
Ling Han frowned and said, “Zhong He Guang’s going to suffer.”
“Why?!” Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan asked with surprise.
“Because that little brat is already at the fifth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier!” Guang Yuan followed.
What!?
Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan revealed a shocked expression at the same time—a Spiritual Ocean Tier warrior in his twenties? No way, one couldn’t even be found in the Rain Country! Erm, recently one certainly emerged… Feng Yan was one, and Yan Tian Zhao was even younger, only fifteen!
Normally speaking, people were over thirty before they entered the Spiritual Ocean Tier… even thirty-year-old Gushing Spring Tier warriors were already not bad.
No wonder the people of the north region were so impressive; any random person that came running out was a martial arts genius?
“This fight mustn’t be fought!” Zhu Wu Jiu shot up onto his feet; this was definitely an unfair battle.
Ling Han nodded and said, “You go stop it, and have Can Ye return.”
“Yes!” Zhu Wu Jiu hurriedly left following the order, but it was already too late. Zhong He Guang was already unable to suppress his anger, lashing his whip at Bao Xin Rang. Shua , the long whip turned into a spirit snake as Origin Power surged and layers of ripples swept through the air, extremely shocking.
Bao Xin Rang simply smiled coldly and pointed with a finger on his left hand. It was strangely accurate, touching the middle of the whip, and an even stronger Origin Power surged. The long whip was instantly softened as if it had been hit at its weakest point.
Zhong He Guang was stunned. He was just about to bounce back by lashing his whip, but Bao Xin Ran already flew out. His speed was unusually fast—as his feet moved, he already appeared in front of Zhong He Guang, cracking a smile.
Zhong He Guang was extremely panic-stricken and was about to attack without his whip, but Bao Xin Ran flicked at his forehead, and with a pa , he was instantly sent flying. When he was in midair, his head fiercely exploded, red and white stuff splashing everywhere.
Hiss!
Everyone shivered as they watched; this was one of the strongest prodigies of the Nine Nations of the Desolate North, but now he was killed like a mole cricket—how could they accept this?
Frightened and trembling with fear, they started to wonder what the hell were they going to the Winter Moon Sect for if the north region was filled with such monsters. In order to enter the mountain gates, they’d definition have to experience intense competition, and anyone could casually kill them.
They came out to seek higher martial arts tiers, not to give their lives!
In that instant, the thought of retreating occured to quite a few people.
“Don’t you guys think that it’s most beautiful when a person’s brain explodes?” Bao Xin Ran said with a hint of indulgence, then changed to a chilly voice and said, “It was truly unexpected for me that you mole crickets of the Desolate North can actually be this beautiful when dying. Truly inconceivable!”
This wasn’t a complement, and it enraged everyone. However, thinking about the other party’s strength, no one dared to clamor.
“You’re not at the Gushing Spring Tier!” Yu Shui Yun said. Zhong He Guang was at the ninth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier, and it would be impossible for anyone at the Gushing Spring Tier to kill him in two moves—only one at the Spiritual Ocean Tier had such ability.
Pa, pa, pa, pa, Bao Xin Ran started to clap his hands and said with smile, “Finally a smart one. Of course I couldn’t possibly be a Gushing Spring Tier warrior. How could a prodigy like me already at the age of twenty-five possibly be a dreg at the Gushing Spring Tier?”
“The Spiritual Ocean Tier!” everyone cried out, and became extremely furious at the same time. What was a Spiritual Ocean Tier expert coming here to sadistically kill the Gushing Spring Tier warriors trying to do?
Bao Xin Ran stepped down. Lines of fabric expanded, forming a green sign.
Martial intent manifesting outside—the mark of a Spiritual Ocean Tier.
“Sir, you’ve gone too far. A dignified Spiritual Ocean Tier expert hiding his cultivation and killing people at every turn… Don’t you think bullied us intolerably?” Bai Yu Quan said with power and resonance.
“Good! Well Said!” Everyone cheered him on. One at the Spiritual Ocean Tier shouldn’t bully people like this, and it wasn’t as if there weren’t any Spiritual Ocean Tier warriors in the Nine Nations of the Desolate North.
Bao Xin Ran picked his ear and said, “Gone too far what? I’m the same age as you guys. As for why my tier is higher and my strength surpasses you guys, this is because my talent is greater, and you’re all just dregs. As dregs, you should have the resolution of being stepped on by me.”
“Utterly detestable!”
“Go at him together, at worst few dozens will die, but we have to kill him no matter what!”
“Yes, we of the Nine Nations of the Desolate North aren’t to be trifled with!”
Bao Xin Ran’s provocations finally made everyone suppress their fear, and only endless rage remained. They had to kill this arrogant guy no mater what to vent their anger.
“Oh, kill me?” Bao Xin Ran sneered, raised his left hand high up, circled it around everyone and said, “Dregs, do you see this mark? This is the the Cold Water Sect’s sleeve mark, I am a disciple of the Cold Wate
r Sect. Not to mention whether you guys can kill me or not, even if you pull it off, not only will you guys die, but also the families behind you will die and even your country will be destroyed!
Because I am the Cold Water Sect’s disciple, understand, you dregs!?”
Bao Xin Ran loftily placed his left hand down. “Now, which dreg is still not convinced?”
In an instant, the entire crowd lost its voice.
The Spiritual Ocean Tier was of course nothing—unified, they could still kill him while putting up a desperate fight. But the Cold Water Sect? Being called a sect meant that there was at least one Spiritual Infant Tier cultivator guarding it, and that was an unimaginable power.
Even those with great valor had to consider their families and their own country behind them. What kind of calamity would it be if they attracted a leviathan like the Cold Water Sect?
“Now, get back to your kennels. Whoever dares to leave the Fallen Moon Gorge, I’ll cut off their damn head!” Bao Xin Ran said coldly.
This time, everyone finally knew that the other party intentionally stopped them from entering the north region. At this critical juncture, there were only two possibilities… first, Bao Xin Ran didn’t want them to attend the auction tomorrow, and second, he didn’t want them to attend the Winter Moon Sect’s entrance exam.
Or both were possible.
“What are you all still so hesitant about?” Bao Xin Ran glared. His personal strength could crush them, and on top of the leviathan, the Cold Water Sect, which stood behind his back, he naturally had the confidence to be unbridled.
Damn it!
Everyone clenched their fists tightly, so tightly that their bones made a crackling sound. Were so many of them actually going to go back home with their tails between their legs just because of a youngster?
“That’s right, I think I also heard earlier that there are many hundred year ginseng and ganodermas!” Bao Xin Ran revealed a smile and greed flashed before his gaze. “Before leaving, leave all the ginseng, ganoderma, and Origin Power Crystals. If anyone dares to stash it, I’ll kill them no matter what!”
The crowd was in uproar.

Chapter 302: Asking Grandmaster Ling to Act
Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu
He’d gone too far. Not only was he chasing them back to the Desolate North, he was actually planning on robbing them as well!
“Grandmaster Cheng, don’t you plan on saying anything?” someone asked Cheng Fei Jun. The latter was the organizer of this Martial Arts Tea Party, and now that something like this happened, how could the host simply just stand by and watch?
Since he was pointed out by this person, Cheng Fei Jun could only stand up and say, “Bao Xin Ran, this is the Fallen Moon Gorge and the territory of our Star Brilliance Palace Hall. Is it really proper for you to strut around here?”
“Yi, a Black Grade high level alchemist?” Bao Xin Ran’s eyes swept over him, and he could not help but pick at his ear. “It can’t be that you’re an impostor, right? You don’t seem that much older than me, so how could you be a Black Grade high level alchemist?”
He naturally knew what the three silver plaques hanging on Cheng Fei Jun’s chest meant.
Cheng Fei Jun’s face instantly darkened. Was everyone not taking him to heart anymore now? He humphed and declared, “I am Cheng Fei Jun. Get out of this town immediately. Otherwise, the Star Defense Force will chase you out.”
When they heard these words, everyone felt vexed. His head was already being stepped on by another, yet the only thing he could do was make the other leave. How hateful.
“Is that right?” Bao Xin Ran smiled calmly, and casually withdrew a tiny flag which he stuck into the ground. Xiu , the flag suddenly grew as wind blew against it, becoming a huge flag that was ten meters tall.
There was a river drawn on the flag, and pure-white snow surrounded it on all sides. One glance was enough to make one feel cold all over, as if he had entered into a world of ice and snow.
No, no, no. This was not merely a feeling, but was quite real. They could clearly feel that the temperature of their surroundings had dropped considerably, and was still continuing to decrease.
“The Cold Water Sect’s flag!” Cheng Fei Jun exclaimed in shock, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
Bao Xin Ran laughed and said, “That’s right, my sect is planning to use this land for something, and I hope that Grandmaster Cheng will give us some face. Otherwise, please do not blame my sect for not giving you face!”
Cheng Fei Jun’s chest rose and fell sharply, hinting at the internal struggle he was experiencing. In the end, however, he fell down to sit on the ground. He had organized this Martial Arts Tea Party in his own name, and thus it had nothing to do with the Star Brilliance Palace Hall.
As a result, he had no way to bring out the name of the Alchemist’s Association. The name of a Black Grade high level alchemist was indeed very awesome, and not even the bigger sects would dare to harm him, but this did not mean that the former definitely had to give him some face.
Bao Xin Ran could completely set him to one side and ignore him, and how could it be that he would dare to run to the Cold Water Sect and voice his objections?
When they saw even Cheng Fei Jun had cowered, everyone felt a sense of hopelessness. Could it be that they, a few thousand people, were going to be robbed by one person? Even if this robber was in the Spiritual Ocean Tier.
They’d have to flee!
Anyways, this guy was only one person. If everyone fled at the same time, how could he be able to stop them all?
“There is no way you can flee.” Bao Xin Ran smiled. “This is the flag of my sect, and once it is open, the area within one mile of it will all be sealed. Without my approval, no one would be able to flee. Now, hand over the stuff obediently,” he commanded coldly.
He was here under the command of his master to stop the people here from entering the north region and participating in the entrance test for the Winter Moon Sect as the the Cold Water Sect and the Winter Moon Sect were not on good terms. If he was able to weaken the other sect, or even deliberately embarrass them a bit, it would be good.
However, when he arrived, he actually discovered that a large amount of hundred-year-old ginseng and ganoderma had appeared, which instantly made him very happy. He was really going to make a lot of money this time round.
“Grandmaster Ling, we can only depend on you now!” Qi Yong Ye and the others came over and gathered around Ling Han.
“Grandmaster Ling, just beat this guy to death!”
“That’s right, that guy is really too despicable!”
There was an Earth Grade alchemist here, and even if it was the sect master of the Cold Water Sect who had personally arrived, he would still have to give some face to Ling Han. Just like how the Spiritual Pedestal Tier warriors were still mortals whereas the Flower Blossoming Tier was equivalent to becoming immortal, once an alchemist ascended to Earth Grade, his status would also spike sharply and was not something that a Black Grade high level alchemist would be able to compare to.
Moreover, Ling Han’s battle prowess was publicly acknowledged. He had consecutively defeated Feng Yan and Yan Tian Zhao, so he was practically a monster.
Ling Han could not help but smile and asked, “Didn’t you guys want me not to make a move?”
They were all embarrassed now. They had previously hoped that Ling Han would not make a move merely because they had wanted to take the first place in this Martial Arts Tea Party. But now that an outsider had arrived and was sweeping them all over with his superior ability of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, they could only choose to ask Ling Han to suppress him.
Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan were also urging him as well. If Ling Han stepped out at this moment and defeated Bao Xin Ran with an invincible stance, that would be equivalent to confirming his status as the strongest among the younger generation of the Nine Nations of the Desolate North.
T
hey naturally hoped that the man they loved could win such a good name for himself.
Ling Han smiled and stood up. There was nothing else that could be done. Bao Xin Ran wanted to rob them all—this was in a direct conflict with Ling Han’s own interests.
Someone wanted to rob his stuff? There was nothing else that needed to be said, he just simply had to kill the robber.
Ling Han’s killing intent circulated. This was not the Rain Country that had Rain Emperor there to curb his actions. Moreover, he had now become an Earth Grade alchemist, and in terms of status, he was above the Rain Emperor, so if he wanted to kill someone… who was capable of stopping him?
“You want to rob my stuff?” Ling Han asked as he walked so that he was standing in front of Bao Xin Ran. Hu Niu, meanwhile, was holding onto one corner of Ling Han’s shirt and standing on one side. She could not help but bare her teeth. Someone actually wanted rob Ling Han’s stuff?
Ling Han was Niu’s, so Ling Han’s stuff was naturally Niu’s too… then what you were robbing was Niu’s stuff!
Hu Niu was very angry!
“A piece of trash in the first layer of the Gushing Spring Tier?” Bao Xin Ran snorted. “Since when could even a piece of trash in the first layer of the Gushing Spring Tier dare to stand in front of me and speak? Kneel!” He issued a light shout and the sound wave solidified, sweeping towards Ling Han.
He had not cultivated any martial arts technique that was specifically focused on sound attacks, but with his cultivation of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, this shout was like a lion’s roar and was completely capable of tearing apart the skin, flesh, blood, and bones of someone in the Gushing Spring Tier.
Xiu , Ling Han had not even moved when Hu Niu did. Her tiny body was like a beam of light that instantly appeared above Bao Xin Ran’s head.
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa. The little girl slapped Bao Xin Ran’s face repeatedly.
Pu!
When they saw this, everyone choked. A five- or six-year-old little girl was madly oppressing Bao Xin Ran. Was this a dream? Only the martial artists from the Rain Country looked proud. Previously, even someone as strong as Yan Tian Zhao was heavily suppressed by Hu Niu, so much that he could only win by using a powerful move. In the end, he was almost scattered and smashed with one slash by Ling Han, though.
