Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 201: Crimson Scale Armor

It’s over! The Manor Master was furious. Tieyun and Iron Mountain’s faces paled, and their bodies trembled.

"It’s not like that, Manor Master, please let me explain."

Tieyun said, "I was deceived too! I didn’t expect this Tian Xing to be so useless that he couldn’t even defeat a four-star Martial General. You can’t blame me for this."

Tian Xing’s eyes filled with tears upon hearing this.

I haven’t provoked any of you, have I? Why is everyone targeting me?

He was utterly depressed.

"Insolent! Throw them out!" the Manor Master commanded coldly.

The Left and Right Enforcers stood, grabbed Tieyun and Iron Mountain, and threw them out of the main hall.

The two let out miserable cries and disappeared amidst the crowd’s laughter.

The Manor Master turned to Lin Xuan and said apologetically, "Young Master Lin, my subordinates were ill-mannered. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive them."

"It’s nothing," Lin Xuan shrugged, not particularly bothered.

At his side, the Wangyue Pavilion Master said, "Manor Master, don’t be too angry. In truth, Young Master Tieyun can’t really be blamed for this matter."

"After all, fighting across a gap of three major realms is truly a heaven-defying feat."

"If one hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe it."

The Manor Master nodded. He hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to be such a peerless genius.

The Left and Right Enforcers looked at Lin Xuan in utter shock. They had previously overlooked him, but now they realized they had eyes yet failed to see.

Lin Xuan’s talent was completely beyond their imagination!

"Young Master Lin is a youthful genius with boundless prospects!"

They all offered their congratulations.

After that, the banquet continued.

The Elder Disciples of the Sword Casting Manor came over one by one to offer Lin Xuan toasts, their attitudes extremely respectful.

The others watched with intense envy.

Finally, the banquet concluded.

The moment it ended, Tian Xing fled. He didn’t want to stay there for another second.

The Star Pavilion Master’s expression was also sullen. He decided to leave immediately after receiving his Spiritual Artifact.

The Manor Master stood up and said, "Everyone, please wait a moment. Our manor will be gifting you all some weapons." After speaking, he had the Left and Right Enforcers make the preparations.

He then looked at Young Master Lin and said, "Please come with me."

Lin Xuan followed the Manor Master out of the main hall.

The others watched enviously.

They knew the Manor Master was likely going to grant Lin Xuan a weapon privately.

That weapon was sure to be incredibly precious.

The Star Pavilion Master gnashed his teeth.

That treatment should have been his, but Lin Xuan had snatched it away.

The Left and Right Enforcers addressed the crowd, "Everyone, please wait," before quickly going to bring out the weapons.

Soon, boxes of weapons were carried in.

The weapons were then distributed based on the value of the gifts each guest had presented. The Star Pavilion Master was given several powerful weapons.

He clasped his fists and said, "Farewell."

After speaking, he turned and left.

The other families and sects also received some weapons and were quite satisfied.

But they didn’t leave. They were all very curious about what kind of weapon Lin Xuan would receive.

The Wangyue Pavilion Master also received a few weapons. Naturally, he would also wait for Lin Xuan’s return.

This young man... I hope he doesn’t refuse the Manor Master’s weapon again this time.

「On the other side...」

Lin Xuan followed the Manor Master into the depths of the Sword Casting Manor, where they arrived at a treasure vault.

Inside were countless treasures.

Treasure Swords, Treasure Blades, Long Spears, long spears, axes, shields, Battle Armor... you could find anything you could imagine.

Each item shimmered with light, all of them powerful Spiritual Artifacts.

The Manor Master smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, you may choose any treasure here at your leisure."

"You may even choose a Great Grandmaster-level weapon."

If the Star Pavilion Master and the others heard this, they would go mad with envy.

Great Grandmaster-level weapons were incredibly precious even to them. They never would have expected Lin Xuan to be qualified to receive one.

It was unbelievable.

This was all thanks to that cask of Divine Wine, which was simply too precious.

Lin Xuan was also incredibly tempted.

A Great Grandmaster-level weapon? If I could possess one, wouldn’t my combat power become utterly heaven-defying?

But at this moment, the big black dog’s voice rang out in his mind. "Kid, all weapons have strengths and weaknesses."

"For example, a Great Grandmaster-level weapon is immensely powerful—that’s its strength. But its weakness is that it consumes an enormous amount of Spiritual Power. A Great Grandmaster would have no problem wielding it, but you? You’re just a mere Martial General. If you held a Great Grandmaster-level weapon, you wouldn’t be able to unleash much of its power. You might not even be able to use it at all."

Lin Xuan was taken aback. He then asked, "Manor Master, can I wield a Great Grandmaster-level weapon right now?"

Manor Master Iron Hand glanced at Lin Xuan’s cultivation level and shook his head. "I’m afraid not."

"However, Young Master, you are an unparalleled genius with limitless potential. Even if you can’t use it now, you certainly will be able to in the future."

So I really can’t use it now. Lin Xuan sighed and shook his head. "I can’t wait that long. I need to participate in the Hidden Dragon Battle."

"My goal is to be number one on the Hidden Dragon Chart."

The Hidden Dragon Battle will begin soon; there are only a few months left.

Lin Xuan had to choose a weapon he could use immediately to boost his combat power.

"I see." The Manor Master had a flash of understanding. He said, "In that case, I’m afraid you won’t be able to choose a Great Grandmaster-level weapon."

"At most, you can only select a Grandmaster-level weapon."

"Can I wield a Grandmaster-level weapon?" Lin Xuan asked.

The Manor Master replied, "You can, but the energy consumption is immense. You could only use it as a trump card."

"At most, you’d only be able to use it once or twice."

Lin Xuan considered this and figured it was similar to his Bronze Bell, which also couldn’t be used excessively.

He said, "I’m looking for some kind of Battle Armor. I specialize in Physique Fist."

The Manor Master asked, "May I ask what manner of fist technique the Young Master practices?"

"World-Ending Serpent Fist."

"What?"

The Manor Master was utterly shocked.

"World-Ending Serpent Fist?"

"Are you sure?"

Lin Xuan nodded.

He clenched his hand into a fist and threw it forward.

His fist moved like a great serpent, carrying a destructive power that seemed to shake the void itself.

The Manor Master was dumbstruck.

After a long moment, he finally said, "I have heard that the World-Ending Serpent Fist is a mystical technique, but that only one person can successfully cultivate it."

"It is said that Chu Zhongtian is already cultivating the World-Ending Serpent Fist. Why does the Young Master wish to practice it as well?"

"Because I can surpass Chu Zhongtian!" Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with confidence.

"In three years, I will fight Chu Zhongtian. I will surpass and defeat him."

The Manor Master was astonished. He could feel the sheer confidence radiating from Lin Xuan.

"Young Master, how about I help you choose something?"

"Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you."

The Manor Master entered the depths of the treasure vault and returned a short while later with a piece of Battle Armor.

Lin Xuan looked over and saw that this piece of Battle Armor was different from the others. It was exceptionally soft.

It was folded up like a normal set of clothes and shone with a fiery red glow.

It gave off a scorching and astonishing aura.

"What is this?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.

"This is called the Crimson Scale Armor," the Manor Master explained with a smile. "I meticulously crafted this piece of Battle Armor."

"The scales on it are from a Red Flame Python, granting it tremendous defensive power and making it impervious to swords and spears."

"I stitched these scales together with celestial silkworm threads to forge this piece of Battle Armor."

"This Battle Armor is a rare type of soft armor. It is very pliable and fits the body perfectly."

"Once you put it on, you can even wear a robe over it. Outsiders won’t be able to tell you’re wearing armor at all."

"Moreover, I fused ’celestial metal’ into this Crimson Scale Armor."

"As a result, not only is its defense incredibly strong, but it can also augment your attacks, making them exceptionally fearsome."

"Young Master, feel free to try it."

"Alright."

Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate and quickly donned the Crimson Scale Armor.

Lin Xuan swung his arms and legs, discovering that the Crimson Scale Armor did indeed fit his body perfectly.

He clenched his hand into a fist and threw a punch. The crimson, fiery light on the Crimson Scale Armor flared.

The punch looked as if it could shatter the void.

"So strong!" Lin Xuan exclaimed in amazement.

The Manor Master, standing to the side, was also stunned. "The Crimson Scale Armor has a hidden power, the Dragon Snake Power."

"However, ordinary people cannot unleash it."

"Only those who have cultivated the Dragon Dao Power or have consumed Snake Gall are able to manifest it."

"Young Master, this armor suits you perfectly."

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "I’ll choose this one!"

With this armor, my chances of winning the Hidden Dragon Battle are even greater! I must take first place!

「Outside.」

Everyone was curious, wondering what kind of treasure Lin Xuan had obtained.
