Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 189: Another Dragon Blood Pill! Enhanced Physique!
Seeing Chu Zhongtian’s confidence and power, the others redoubled their efforts to dissuade Lin Xuan. Even some people Lin Xuan didn’t know came over to persuade him, all urging him to admit defeat and give up immediately.
Lin Xuan was speechless. He hadn’t expected this matter to cause such a worldwide stir. To be honest, he was very confident about the duel three years later.
Lin Xuan’s trump cards were strong. He possessed the Great Emperor’s inheritance and received guidance from the Great Black Dog, allowing him to cultivate at a speed far exceeding his peers. Surpassing Chu Zhongtian in three years would be no problem at all, but he couldn’t reveal any of this.
Firstly, the Great Emperor’s inheritance was immeasurably precious; revealing it would likely get him hunted down by the entire world. Besides, even if he did tell them, would they even believe him? Back in the ancient relic, he had told the Celestial Spirit Ancestor that he possessed the Great Emperor’s inheritance, but the Ancestor hadn’t believed him at all. If he claimed to have the Great Emperor’s inheritance now, people would just assume he was bragging again. So, he had no desire to explain.
Lin Xuan could only say, "After the duel three years from now, you’ll all know who wins and who loses."
"Arrogant!"
"Foolish!"
Many people shook their heads and sighed. Others frowned, feeling that Lin Xuan was unappreciative of their concern.
Lin Xuan finally lost his temper. "Why should I have to explain my actions to you?" he said coldly. After that, he completely ignored them.
"Arrogant! Truly arrogant!" The Imperial Clan Elder trembled with rage.
The others who had come to persuade him also wore grim expressions; they never expected Lin Xuan to be so defiant.
Hmph! Someone snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and stormed off. Another gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I’ll be waiting to see just how you’ll face this battle in three years!"
Lin Xuan’s words quickly spread throughout the world, sending the Great Xia Country into a state of shock.
"This kid is too arrogant! He’s arrogant beyond measure!"
"It’s one thing to be arrogant when you have the strength to back it up, but being this arrogant is just foolish!"
"If it’s going to rain, it’s going to rain. If someone is determined to court death, just let them be."
The Great Xia Country has no shortage of geniuses. Some top talents fall midway through their journey due to bad luck, but others, like Lin Xuan, bring disaster upon themselves. He had a brilliant future, yet he insists on acting so recklessly, completely unaware of the life-and-death stakes.
"Just watch. He is bound to lose, and he will be crippled."
"Only a genius who lives to reach their full potential is a true genius. One who doesn’t amounts to nothing."
At this moment, no one was optimistic about Lin Xuan’s chances. They all believed his defeat was inevitable.
"I’ll personally attend the battle in three years to watch," someone declared.
"Me too."
"We’ll go as well."
They all wanted to witness Lin Xuan’s downfall with their own eyes.
After the Imperial Clan Elder returned to the Imperial Palace and reported the situation, the Emperor’s expression darkened. "An ignorant fool who doesn’t know his own limits. Forget it. Don’t bother with him."
The Tower Master of the Pill Tower Headquarters sighed. Lin Xuan, a Young Pill King... is he really going to end up crippled? What a terrible shame.
People like Bai Qianqian, Yu Shiqie, Zi Yan, and Feng Qingxue were practically beside themselves with anxiety.
Of course, some people were gloating over his misfortune. Tian Xing, for example, as well as the brothers Sun Tian and Sun Hao. The two of them were absolutely thrilled.
This is perfect! They finally saw a chance for revenge. In three years, the moment Lin Xuan was crippled, they would exact their vengeance and kill him.
Liu Ruyue also heard the news and sneered, shaking her head. "It’s a good thing I didn’t stick with Lin Xuan back then, or I’d be doomed by his actions now."
When disciples like Zhang Yang and Zhao Jie heard the news, they gloated as well.
Elder Feng snorted coldly. Just as I thought. This kid really has no future.
The people of the Great Xia Country discussed the matter with great excitement. It seemed the commotion wouldn’t die down anytime soon, but Lin Xuan paid it no mind. He had more important things to do. He found the Wangyue Pavilion Master and presented her with the Celestial Spirit Fruit.
Upon receiving the Celestial Spirit Fruit, the Wangyue Pavilion Master should have been overjoyed, but she couldn’t bring herself to feel happy at all. It was because Lin Xuan refused to listen to reason.
She wanted to say more, but Lin Xuan interrupted her. "Pavilion Master, my mind is made up. Please don’t try to persuade me any further."
"By the way, since I brought back the Celestial Spirit Fruit, is there a reward? I’d like 10,000 points, if possible."
"Of course," the Wangyue Pavilion Master said with a sigh. She looked at Lin Xuan and continued, "You have your own convictions, so I won’t try to persuade you anymore. However, you are a disciple of Wangyue Pavilion. Even if the entire world refuses to believe in you or support you, we at Wangyue Pavilion will stand by you, as always."
Lin Xuan received 10,000 points. Added to the more than 20,000 points he had already accumulated, he could finally exchange for the Three-leaved Sword Grass.
Next, Lin Xuan exchanged his points for the Three-leaved Sword Grass and went to the Yu Family, where he traded it with Yu Shiqie for the Dragon Blood Vine.
Having obtained the Dragon Blood Vine, Lin Xuan was ecstatic. Excellent! I can refine another Dragon Blood Pill!
This particular Dragon Blood Vine was not very long—only about a meter, much shorter than the previous three-meter-long piece. However, Lin Xuan’s Alchemy skills were far more advanced now. He also possessed the Black Dragon Cauldron, an Earth-grade alchemy furnace, which would greatly increase his success rate when refining the vine.
And just like that, Lin Xuan successfully refined another Dragon Blood Pill.
He consumed the Dragon Blood Pill and used it to strengthen his left arm. Soon, Dragon Scales materialized on its surface. A tyrannical power swept out in all directions. Lin Xuan threw his head back and laughed heartily.
Now, both of his arms were Divine Dragon Arms!
After the enhancement, although his cultivation base had not broken through and he was still a Four-star Martial General, he could now battle opponents four realms above his own. Previously, Lin Xuan could only battle across three realms, allowing him to contend with a Seven-star Martial General. To face an Eight-star Martial General, he had to rely on the Spirit Pearl. But now, he could fight on par with an Eight-star Martial General using the power of his Physique alone. If he added the power of the Spirit Pearl on top of that, he could instantly kill an Eight-star Martial General and even contend with a Nine-star Martial General!
Battling across four realms—it was unbelievable! If word of this got out, it would undoubtedly shock the world.
Lin Xuan was incredibly excited. This was the result of strengthening just his arms. If he strengthened his legs and torso as well, he would likely be able to fight across even more realms.
Chu Zhongtian, you just wait. In three years, I will trample you beneath my feet. Lin Xuan thought with a cold snort.
After this, Lin Xuan returned to secluded cultivation. He focused mainly on practicing the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist, but also trained in the Eight Wilds Palm, Wandering Dragon Step, and Ninefold Swordsmanship.
「Another month passed.」
The sensation surrounding Lin Xuan gradually died down. Even within the Heavenly Dao Academy, people stopped discussing him and returned to their own training routines, either entering secluded cultivation or accepting missions to gain experience outside.
Tian Xing once again went into seclusion to cultivate.
「One day, the Star Pavilion Master returned.」
Upon hearing the news, he was utterly shocked. Lin Xuan is still alive? How is that possible? Did the Demon Race fail?
Fuming, he stormed off and headed deep into the mountain range. Arriving near the valley, he shouted coldly, "What happened? You didn’t have the Demon Race make a move? Why is that brat still alive?"
"Impossible," a Great Demon’s booming voice echoed from the valley. "I already dispatched Dream Butterfly and the Shadowless Insect. That brat is as good as dead."
"How could he possibly be alive?"
"Are you trying to go back on your word? Are you refusing to give me the Transformation Pill?"
