Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 204: Ancient Celestial Hall!

The Star Pavilion Master said, "The upcoming Hidden Dragon Battle is all on you."

Chu Yue replied, "Master, rest assured. I will not disappoint you."

Her brother, Chu Zhongtian, was number one on the last Hidden Dragon Chart. Since she was competing this time, she was determined to seize first place and continue his legacy of glory. She was already at the pinnacle of a Nine-Star Martial General, just one step away from becoming a Grandmaster. If she could become number one on the Hidden Dragon Chart, she could achieve the rank of Grandmaster in a short time. At that point, she too would be a dazzling, peerless prodigy!

The Star Pavilion Master nodded. With a wave of his hand, several weapons flew out and floated in the void. "These are weapons obtained from the Sword Casting Manor," he said. "Pick a few!"

Chu Yue began to select a weapon. Each one was of an extraordinary grade. In the end, she chose a Grandmaster-level weapon.

"Go back and get some rest," the Pavilion Master said. "Prepare for the Hidden Dragon Battle."

Chu Yue then left the main hall.

After she stepped outside, the surrounding disciples quickly gathered around, curiously asking about her experiences while she was away. It had been several months since Chu Yue left the Heavenly Dao Academy, and her strength had grown by leaps and bounds. They figured she must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter.

Chu Yue gave a brief explanation to her junior disciples, which left them exclaiming in amazement. Afterward, she inquired about the state of the Heavenly Dao Academy.

Surely nothing much has changed at the Academy during my absence, right?

However, her expression darkened once she learned the truth. The disciples shared a great deal of information, most of it revolving around a single person: a man named Lin Xuan. This Lin Xuan was currently just a first-year disciple, yet he was extremely arrogant. He had consecutively crippled over twenty disciples from their Star Pavilion and had even crippled Song Tiange.

Chu Yue was utterly shocked. Their Star Pavilion was the largest in the Heavenly Dao Academy. They were always the ones bullying others; when had they ever been on the receiving end?

"It’s worse than that!" one of the disciples said. "This Lin Xuan even cultivates the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist and wants to challenge Senior Brother Chu Zhongtian!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Chu Yue was completely infuriated.

Her brother was like a god. Who would dare challenge him? A mere first-year disciple dares to issue a challenge? How laughable! Who does this Lin Xuan think he is? Is he even worthy?

Thinking back on all of Lin Xuan’s actions, Chu Yue became incredibly angry. She said coldly, "Where is this Lin Xuan? I will personally teach him a lesson!"

The disciples went to find Lin Xuan’s whereabouts but returned shortly after. "Senior Sister Chu Yue, that Lin Xuan isn’t at the Heavenly Dao Academy."

"He must have heard you were back and is too scared to return."

"That’s for sure! That guy is no match for you, Senior Sister."

"He isn’t even worthy to carry your shoes."

Chu Yue snorted coldly. What a cunning brat! Since he wasn’t at the academy, she had no immediate way to find him, nor was she willing to waste her time on him.

"Humph, I’ll spare the brat this time," she declared. "But listen to me. The moment he returns, you are to report to me immediately. I will make him regret it!"

Everyone nodded, their excitement palpable. Senior Sister Chu Yue was so powerful. If she took action, that Lin Xuan would surely be beaten to a pulp.

"Senior Sister, you just got back. Let us hold a welcome banquet for you," someone suggested.

Chu Yue thought for a moment and said, "I haven’t been back in a long time. We should indeed get together. I have the perfect place in mind. Come on, I’ll take you all to dinner. We’re going to the Cyan Dragon Manor."

At her words, the surrounding disciples grew thrilled. "Thank you, Senior Sister!"

None of them had ever been to the Cyan Dragon Manor before. Although it was now open to the public, only those with extremely distinguished status could enter because the prices were exorbitant. Ordinary people simply couldn’t afford it, and that included most of these talented disciples from the Heavenly Dao Academy.

Following this, a large, high-spirited group left the Heavenly Dao Academy and made their way toward the Cyan Dragon Manor.

Word of her return also reached the Sun Pavilion and the Purple Mist Pavilion. Chu Yue is back? That’s Chu Zhongtian’s sister! Rumor has it her strength has increased dramatically, making her a contender for the Hidden Dragon Chart championship. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Many were intrigued. Numerous disciples prepared to visit Chu Yue to build a connection with her. Some even prepared gifts to congratulate her in advance. Others simply hoped for a free meal, as they had never been to the Cyan Dragon Manor either. Consequently, disciples from the other pavilions also began heading toward the estate.

The news spread beyond the Heavenly Dao Academy. Hearing of her return, some families and sects also dispatched their disciples. They all wanted to associate themselves with Chu Zhongtian. His future was boundless; he was destined to become a formidable Martial Emperor and the future overlord of the Great Xia Country. It was only natural to try and curry favor with him. But Chu Zhongtian’s current whereabouts were too mysterious for them to track, so their only option was to appease his sister. In a short time, a great number of people set out for the Cyan Dragon Manor.

The Cyan Dragon Manor was famous throughout the Great Xia Country, for its history was ancient, spanning thousands of years. Even though the manor was now open to the public, no one dared to act presumptuously inside. It had an extraordinary origin and was filled with many ancient arrays. Even a Grandmaster had to act with the utmost respect here.

The Cyan Dragon Manor was vast, containing many ancient palaces. The Cyan Dragon Great Hall was the most renowned, but besides it, there were twelve other ancient halls. The most famous of these twelve was the Ancient Celestial Hall. This was arguably the most prestigious hall after the Cyan Dragon Great Hall itself. The location for Chu Yue’s gathering was none other than the Ancient Celestial Hall.

「Meanwhile, Lin Xuan also arrived at the Cyan Dragon Manor.」

Gazing at the tranquil, ancient estate before him, Lin Xuan felt a surge of excitement. Just standing outside the manor made the Dragon Power within him begin to boil. He could feel what seemed to be a giant dragon lurking in slumber within the estate. That must be the power of the Cyan Dragon Great Hall. This time, I must enter the Cyan Dragon Great Hall.

Lin Xuan unconsciously turned the ring on his hand. It was a Cyan Dragon Ring, forged from some kind of ancient bronze. A cyan dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, was carved upon the ring, so vividly lifelike it seemed ready to soar at any moment. This was the Cyan Dragon Master Ring left behind by the Great Emperor.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan walked towards the Cyan Dragon Manor.

At the manor’s entrance, many formidable war chariots were parked on either side. The people alighting from them were powerful experts or the prodigies of Noble Families. These visitors behaved humbly, queuing respectfully to present their invitations before being allowed to enter.

Lin Xuan, however, strode directly toward the entrance.

Just then, a guard reached out to stop him. "Are you also here for the banquet? Do you have an invitation?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback. "Banquet? What banquet?"

The guard paused. He glanced at the Heavenly Dao Academy disciple attire Lin Xuan was wearing and asked in confusion, "Aren’t you here for the banquet for Fairy Chu Yue?"
