Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 292: Talents Reunited! Turbulence Returns!
"We can’t be careless," someone said. "Lin Xuan already possessed the strength of an early-stage One-Star Grandmaster before. Now that he’s gone to Purple Mountain, he might have acquired some Treasure and greatly enhanced his power."
"Purple Mountain, although mysterious, primarily holds Dragon Dao Power," another elder said. "Lin Xuan entering Purple Mountain is only to increase his Dragon Dao Power. No matter how heaven-defying he is, he can at most reach the mid-stage of the One-Star Grandmaster realm."
"And Jian Wushuang’s cultivation has now reached the early stage of a One-Star Grandmaster," another added. "With his Half-step Sword Intent, his strength is now equivalent to a mid-stage One-Star Grandmaster. This means he’s no weaker than Lin Xuan now. Even if he can’t defeat Lin Xuan, he won’t lose again."
Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang clenched his fists. I’ve finally caught up to Lin Xuan! This Ancient Relic is an opportunity. It surely has Treasures inside. As long as I can obtain them, I can surpass Lin Xuan! Lin Xuan, so what if you got first place? So what if you became the Champion Marquis? I can surpass you!
「...」
「Celestial King’s Mansion.」
The Little Celestial King also received news of the Ancient Relic but didn’t plan to go. He had lost too miserably in the Hidden Dragon Battle. It was too humiliating. I’m too embarrassed to go out now. I won’t go out and take revenge unless I become a true Grandmaster and crush Lin Xuan under my heel.
The Celestial King said, "Just focus on your cultivation. This time, I will send your older brother there. First, to investigate the Ancient Relic and seize the Treasures inside. Moreover, if he encounters that Lin Xuan, I’ll have him teach him a lesson on your behalf."
"Really? That’s great!" The Little Celestial King was ecstatic.
Although he was called the Little Celestial King, he was merely the youngest son of the Celestial King, who had several sons. The others were all older and stronger than the Little Celestial King.
The Celestial King said, "This time, I plan to send your third brother. He is a true One-Star Grandmaster. Defeating Lin Xuan will be a breeze for him."
The Little Celestial King clenched his fists and said, "I’ll be waiting for Third Brother’s good news."
Next, the Celestial King found his third son. "Third Son, go and investigate the Ancient Relic. When you encounter Lin Xuan, teach him a harsh lesson."
The Celestial King’s third son was known as the Third Crown Prince, and his cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the One-Star Grandmaster realm.
Upon hearing his father’s command, he laughed and said, "Father, rest assured. I will definitely bring back the Treasures from the Ancient Relic. I will also teach that Lin Xuan a harsh lesson and make him kneel and apologize."
The Celestial King nodded but still cautioned, "You must be careful. Lin Xuan is formidable. He already possessed the strength of a Grandmaster six months ago. He has likely grown even stronger in the past half-year."
So what? The Third Crown Prince was completely unconcerned. He said, "My cultivation is at the mid-stage of the One-Star Grandmaster realm. With the trump cards in my hand, I can even fight above my level and contend with a late-stage One-Star Grandmaster. No matter how strong that kid is, can he really stand against me?"
The Celestial King thought so as well. Lin Xuan couldn’t possibly be that heaven-defying.
But he still said, "Besides you, I will send other members of the Celestial King’s Mansion with you. We must ensure everything is foolproof this time."
Following this, the Third Crown Prince led his men from the mansion and headed for the Ancient Relic.
Jian Wushuang also went. In addition, prodigies like Wan Tianming and Bei Chen also set out. The various major families and sects all dispatched their people.
「Heavenly Dao Institute.」
Numerous prodigies had gathered, all surrounding Lin Xuan, appearing to treat him as their leader. The people from Star Pavilion sighed at this scene. Lin Xuan had already become influential, surprisingly gathering a group of followers. This group not only included Ye Qingwu and others from Wangyue Pavilion, but even Mu Jin and Hua Yan from the Sun Pavilion and Purple Mist Pavilion followed Lin Xuan. There was no helping it; Lin Xuan was simply too powerful, naturally attracting these top prodigies.
Lin Xuan looked at the crowd, smiling and nodding, but he didn’t see Chu Yue.
Beside him, Ye Qingwu said, "Chu Yue and some geniuses from the Star Pavilion left ahead of schedule."
Lin Xuan laughed upon hearing that. In the previous Hidden Dragon Battle, I beat Chu Yue so badly that she probably doesn’t dare show her face in front of me now. But it doesn’t matter. I never considered Chu Yue an opponent anyway, especially not now that my strength has increased. My current strength is at the peak of the One-Star Grandmaster realm! Even late-stage One-Star Grandmasters are no match for me, let alone Chu Yue.
Lin Xuan checked the time. It was about right. He waved his hand and said, "Let’s set off."
This time, Lin Xuan was leading the group. Upon hearing his command, the many prodigies followed him into the war chariot.
BOOM!
The war chariot soared into the sky, rocketing into the distance.
This Ancient Relic was located in the Crescent Mountain Range, which was a very famous landmark. Viewed from high above, the mountain range resembled a crescent moon. Beside the Crescent Mountain Range was a giant city called New Moon City, which was also a very famous city in the Great Xia Country. At this moment, Martial Artists rushing in from all directions were gathered in New Moon City. They were here to gather information about the Ancient Relic and wait for it to open.
People from the three major families and four major sects had arrived. Everyone exclaimed in surprise, discovering that the young talents who had previously participated in the Hidden Dragon Chart were also here. In addition to them, even talents from the previous Hidden Dragon Chart had come. Although these people were also young, they were slightly older and their cultivation was stronger. Many had already entered the Grandmaster realm.
"Look, it’s Sword Nameless!" someone exclaimed.
A handsome man carrying a longsword was seen flying over from the distance.
"He can ride his sword?"
"Damn, has he broken through to become a Grandmaster?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd was shocked. With a flash of sword light, Sword Nameless descended from the sky. His body shimmered with sword light, resembling a Sword Immortal. The people around him were all stunned.
Some veteran experts said, "Judging by his aura, he’s truly in the Grandmaster realm. He’s become a One-Star Grandmaster."
"That’s unbelievable!"
"He’s only twenty years old! A twenty-year-old One-Star Grandmaster? That’s truly heaven-defying!"
"Sword Nameless’s strength is indeed formidable!"
"And he was only second place! I wonder what kind of power Lin Xuan, who took first place, has now?"
Everyone discussed excitedly.
Wan Tianming, Bei Chen, and Yan Chitian also arrived and were equally stunned by this scene. They walked over and said, "You actually broke through!" They were incredibly envious. Over the past six months, their strength had also increased rapidly, far surpassing what it was before. However, they had not broken through to the Grandmaster realm. Seeing that Sword Nameless had achieved this, they were naturally filled with envy.
Chu Yue saw this as well. She clenched her fists, vowing to break through and become a Grandmaster as soon as possible.
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, a thunderous roar and the growl of a Demon Beast came from a distance. Everyone was startled and looked up. They saw two white jade lions pulling a war chariot as it flew over from afar.
White jade lions were Exotic Demon Beasts and extremely precious, yet they were being used to pull a chariot. What a grand display! Who could this person be?
Someone exclaimed, "Look! The war chariot is engraved with the characters for ’Celestial King’! It’s people from the Celestial King’s Mansion!"
"Could the Little Celestial King be here?"
Amid the crowd’s exclamations, the two white jade lions landed from the sky. The chariot door opened, and a group of people stepped out. At the forefront was a imposing man in Battle Armor, who looked like a War God.
Everyone was taken aback; it wasn’t the Little Celestial King.
"That’s the Little Celestial King’s older brother!"
"It’s the Third Crown Prince!"
"He came as well?"
"Didn’t the Third Crown Prince enter the Grandmaster realm long ago?"
"He should be at the mid-stage of the One-Star Grandmaster realm by now, right?"
Many people exclaimed in shock. Wan Tianming and the others felt immense pressure. Although they were top-ten talents on the Hidden Dragon Chart, this time they were facing not only their peers from the chart but also experts from the previous generation’s chart, as well as other young prodigies. The pressure, it could be said, was ten times greater than before.
Jian Wushuang also frowned, staring intently at the Third Crown Prince. He sensed an immense threat from him.
The Third Crown Prince held a folding fan. He snapped it open and, while fanning himself nonchalantly, surveyed the surroundings with a condescending gaze. Seeing Sword Nameless and the others, he curled his lips into a disdainful smile. None of these people were his opponents.
Suddenly, another rumble came from the distance as myriad rays of auspicious light swept across the land.
Everyone exclaimed, "The people from the Heavenly Dao Institute are here!"
"Lin Xuan is here!"
The Third Crown Prince grew excited. I have to capture Lin Xuan and avenge my little brother!
