A Thought Through Eternity

Chapter 122 - This Challenge... I Accept!

In the North Bank, challenging Bai Xiaochun was now a magnificent feat, and because of the excessive commotion, the South Bank had also heard of it. The disciples of the South Bank looked at each other with sympathy as they gazed towards the distant North Bank. These disciple weren’t pitying Bai Xiaochun, but were instead, pitying the disciples of the North Bank.

“You guys don’t understand him…”

“Just wait... it won’t be much longer until you guys realise how terrifying Bai Xiaochun is.”

Time passed, and on the tenth day, the total number of inner sect disciples challenging Bai Xiaochun exceeded 2000; it had reached 2300! Furthermore, the number was still increasing by the day!

It was suggested that, if you were an inner sect disciple of the North Bank and had not gone to the Testing Stage to release a paper crane in order to challenge Bai Xiaochun, you would lose face and others would look down on you with disdain in their eyes.

After the appearance of this atmosphere, the number of people challenging Bai Xiaochun… increased even more!

“Haha! Today, I, Xu Dabao, have used ten contribution points to challenge Bai Xiaochun!”

“Humph! I, Zhou Yuncong, have already challenged that number one enemy of the North Bank three days ago! What a pity... That fragile chicken doesn’t dare come to fight!”

During the thirteenth day, the number of inner sect disciples who had challenged Bai Xiaochun had already broken through 3000! The entire North Bank caused a sensation and everyone began discussing about the issue of challenging Bai Xiaochun; it didn’t matter where they were in the North Bank.

This sort of domino effect which was caused by a single person was unprecedented! Every day, the Testing Stage would be filled with several tens of thousands of people. Most of these people were outer sect disciples, they were watching the inner sect disciples proudly step onto the Testing Stage and issue challenges. After it formed into a paper crane, they would all start cheering; even the number of contribution points wasted was already ignored by everyone!

The person who first issued a challenge, Beihan Lie, had never imagined that the matter would have developed into this. His current reputation had already exceeded his former reputation. Even his identity as a victim from the Heaven’s Chosen War caused him to bask in the limelight!

On the seventeenth day, the number of inner sect disciples who had challenged Bai Xiaochun had already exceeded 4000! The storm of events which had been caused by the North Bank swept across the entire Spirit Creek Sect.

It was as if this wasn’t a challenge anymore, and instead, became a symbol. The number of contribution points that was taken out didn’t even matter… although many only took out a small amount of contribution points which were in the single digits. However, in this sort of lively event, it was a must to participate in.

“Bai Xiaochun is too scared, he doesn’t dare to fight against our North Bank!”

“Haha! Even if he has grown stronger, he will still kneel under the unity of our North Bank!”

“The willpower of our North Bank is supreme!”

Not only were the Ancestors of the four mountains speechless, even Zheng Yuandong was also dumbstruck. This situation even made the Grand Elder pay attention to it, because, after all, this type of incident had never occured before.

As the excitement of the North Bank had reached the pinnacle, almost all of the inner sect disciples had issued a challenge. There were even many people that went to the Hundred Beasts Courtyard every single day, watching the paper cranes that were unceasingly flying as they let out several cheers.

On the twentieth day, basically all of the inner sect disciples had issued a challenge and the matter had finally died down a little. However, early in morning, a large man from the outer sect inside the crowd near the Testing Stage was palpitating with excitement. He noticed that there were so many inner sect disciples that were being cheered on because they had challenged Bai Xiaochun; this caused excitement to bloom within his heart. There were already four thousand people who had challenged him, and even if Bai Xiaochun wanted to choose someone to fight, he would not lower himself to take a low amount contribution points. After all, he was the number one in the Heaven’s Chosen War.

Being able to challenge the number one... and the other party would even escape from the fight! As the large man thought of this, he felt extremely excited. In the future, he would have the qualifications to boast about challenging Bai Xiaochun who didn’t fight and cowardly ran away.

Thinking about this, that large man from the outer sect became elated. With his cultivation at the fourth stage of Qi Condensation, and thinking about his identity as the first outer sect disciple to challenge Bai Xiaochun, he proudly rushed out from the crowd, being the first person to climb onto the Testing Stage on this day. He then faced the sky and began to laugh.

“I, Liu Dabiao, would like to use a hundred contribution points to challenge Bai Xiaochun!” The sound of Liu Dabiao’s laugh echoed throughout the stage as he clasped his hands behind his back and proudly looked towards the Hundred Beasts Courtyard.

“Bai Xiaochun, receive this grandfather’s challenge! You are an inner sect disciple, do you dare to have a fight with this Liu Dabiao?!”

Following the appearance of this person, everyone in the surrounding became silent. Everyone’s first reaction was that Liu Dabiao was crazy. No matter how evil Bai Xiaochun was, he was also the victor of the Heaven’s Chosen War and wasn’t someone an outer sect disciple could challenge. However, they immediately realised that this was obviously Liu Dabiao creating an opportunity to make himself famous; all the disciple’s eyes began to glisten.

At this moment, they realized that an outer sect disciple could challenge an inner sect disciple, and the other party would even escape from the challenge. This was a something that could make them famous. The Outer Disciples became fired up.

They all proudly issued challenges, thinking of participating in this grand occasion, the campaign against the North Bank’s number one public enemy.

While Liu Dabiao was feeling proud of himself, Bai Xiaochun, who was sitting in a cross-legged position within the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, suddenly sat up and took a deep breath as he opened the door.

During these twenty days, his biggest headache was opening the door. He had to open the door everyday. If the accumulated pile of paper cranes got too big, the fighting intent would become too strong and Bai XIaochun would not be able to handle it. Therefore, he could only open the door first thing in the morning.

Every time he walked out, he would see the several hundred paper cranes letting out the countless emotionless voices. Yesterday, he had even counted the number of paper cranes and realized that it had surpassed four thousand! It had even densely covered the floor.

When Bai Xiaochun opened the door and found that there were only tens of paper cranes, he was surprised. But suddenly, over a thousand paper cranes appeared in the sky, which had formed a fighting intent that could topple mountains and seas, that whistled to him. When he was shocked, these paper cranes all fell, surging and exploding right in front of him, directly burying him underneath.

When the paper cranes that numbered over a thousand landed on Bai Xiaochun at the same time, he was trapped by that strong fighting intent, and the paper cranes directly buried his skinny body underneath them.

After a short while, when Bai Xiaochun had climbed up with a struggle, his entire body turned foolish. Looking at the countless paper cranes surrounding him. He was struck stupid for a long time, as if he couldn’t use his brain, and was unable to move a single step.

And in his hands, he was now holding the first paper crane that arrived as the emotionless sound continued echoing in his ear.

“Inner sect disciple Bai Xiaochun, Liu Dabiao of the outer sect of the North Bank, fourth layer of Qi Condensation, is using one hundred contributions to challenge you.

Bai Xiaochun stared at that paper crane. A light appeared in his eyes, and he was currently angry, especially after hearing the five words, “Fourth Layer of Qi Condensation.”

“The North Bank is bullying people too much! I, Bai Xiaochun, want to keep a low profile, but since I can’t keep a low profile, that’s fine! If Beihan Lie wants to be shameless and came out early after he said he would be in seclusion for ten years, that’s fine too! If inner sect disciples want to challenge me, I can endure that. But if outer sect disciples also want to challenge me, I cannot endure that, I’ll just accept his challenge! Liu Dabiao? Fourth layer of Qi Condensation, screw him!” Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath as he felt sorrow from the bottom of his heart. If it were not for him not being able to take out the beasts of the Hundred Beasts Courtyard without a brand, and the fact that he didn’t know the Tongtian Beast Controlling Art, he would have really brought out all of the near-thousand spirit beasts outside, and sweep away the battlefield!

At this moment, there was an expression of pity as he lifted his chin, speaking towards the paper crane.

“This challenge, I accept! Immediately start the battle!”

At the same time, Liu Dabiao was clasping his hands behind his back as he enjoyed the feeling of being the focus of attention by the audience, and he was overwhelmed by the surge of emotions.

“Bai Xiaochun, your grandfather is waiting for you for ten more breaths! You rookie, you cowardly chicken, in the end, do you dare to accept this grandfather’s challenge!

“Bai Xiaochun, come out for me right now!” Liu Dabiao became very excited as he kept roaring loudly. The more he was like this, the more the people around him would cheer.

And when Liu Dabiao was even more excited, he had never predicted that Bai Xiaochun would accept his challenge. From his point of view, Bai Xiaochun had been escaping from every challenge for twenty days. Even if he were to accept challenges, he would accept the challenges of those inner sect disciples, and would never lower himself to accept his challenge. After all… that was the number one of the Heaven’s Chosen War

Thinking about this, Liu Dabiao was even more pleased with himself and felt that this was a good opportunity of getting himself famous. He even imagined that he would definitely be known by everyone in the outer sect after today, and some Junior Sisters that he like might start to admire him bceause of this heroic scene.

“Bai Xiaochun, there are still three more breaths, do you dare to fight with your grandfather!” Liu Dabiao let out a loud roar again as his laugh echoed outwards. He felt extremely pleased with himself; he was about to fall off the stage.

But at this moment…

Suddenly, a light screen instantly appeared, directly blocking Liu Dabiao, causing him to be unable to leave. Following the appearance of the light screen, everyone in that area felt shocked.

Immediately, an emotionless voice echoed out on the Testing Stage.

“The challenged inner sect disciple Bai Xiaochun accepts the challenge of the challenger Liu Dabiao, and the fight shall instantly start!”

In an instant, a conveying light floated into the stage. Bai Xiaochun’s figure, borrowing the help of the paper cranes, directly appeared on the Testing Stage. Once he arrived, he immediately saw the several tens of thousand of North Bank disciples all around him, and also saw the big man Liu Dabiao who was standing on the same stage as him, who was currently so blank that he looked like an idiot.

In a split second, everything all around him turned into deathly silence. Within the crowd, there were outer sect disciples, as well as inner sect disciples. But regardless of who it was, everyone turned stupid in this moment, as if they were wooden chickens that were looking at Bai Xiaochun who was on the Testing Stage.

No matter who it was, they never thought that Bai Xiaochun would… actually accept the challenge. Accepting the challenge would be fine, but the challenge that he accepted was actually... the challenge of an outer sect disciple that was at the fourth layer of Qi Condensation...

This level of shamelessness had already exceeded the imagination of everyone, causing them to be stupid, leaving a blank space in their mind.

“You are Liu Dabiao?” Bai Xiaochun clasped his hands behind his back as he imposingly spoke.

Liu Dabiao’s legs went soft and tears were already flowing out of his eyes. His entire body was thoroughly dizzy, a blank look appearing in his eyes. He felt like this was like a dream. He only wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and show off, to bring himself in the limelight. No matter what, he had never thought that Bai Xiaochun would actually accept his challenge!

He didn’t accept the challenges of the inner sect disciples, as well as the the challenges of the strong outer sect disciples, but instead accepted his challenge...

“I… I…” Liu Dabiao’s whole body was uncontrollably shaking as he stuttered. Before he could finish speaking, Bai Xiaochun lightly sighed and indifferently spoke.

“You should surrender. Once I make a move, even I am scared.”

When these words entered Liu Dabiao’s ears, it immediately turned into the sound of thunder, causing the scenes of what he heard about Bai Xiaochun to instantly appear in his mind; especially the scene about Beihan Lie’s plight, which made him unconsciously lock his legs and scared him to the point of his soul flying out. He was about to cry as he screeched out.

“I admit defeat!”

With a bang following Liu Dabiao’s surrender, the light screen disappeared. Bai Xiaochun proudly stood on the Testing Stage, and the amount of contribution points in his identity jade slip automatically increased by one hundred.

“Life is solitary…” Bai Xiaochun flourished his sleeve and was about to lightly sigh. But at this moment, every person in the crowd let out an angry roar that had reached the pinnacle of madness. This roar was so strong, that at this moment, it had actually spreaded across the entire North Bank, and even the South Bank could faintly hear it.
