Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 173: Gained Another Earth Spirit Pearl!
Just when everyone thought Lin Xuan was about to be defeated, he made his move. He had only been defending casually before, but now he was taking it seriously.
He rushed forward, crossing three steps in a single bound to land directly on the 98th level. Then, he threw a punch at Tian Xing.
Everyone was shocked by this sight. No one had expected Lin Xuan to dare to keep chasing. Crossing three levels at once—what immense pressure must that be? Could he possibly withstand it?
Tian Xing sneered, "Get down from here!" How dare he stand on the 98th level, shoulder-to-shoulder with me? What a joke! He’s not worthy.
He threw another punch. The Meteor Fist shot toward Lin Xuan.
Their fists collided with a deafening roar, like two mountains crashing into each other. Another figure was sent flying backward.
"Alas, Lin Xuan is so pitiful."
"Yeah, he was never a match for him."
"Wait, that’s not right! The one sent flying this time wasn’t Lin Xuan!" someone suddenly exclaimed in shock.
The others were bewildered. Not Lin Xuan? How is that possible? Could it be Tian Xing? Stop joking, how could Tian Xing be knocked back? As they spoke, they looked forward, but in the next moment, they were utterly stunned. They discovered that the one sent flying was indeed Tian Xing.
This time, it was Tian Xing who had been knocked all the way back to the 95th level!
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded, their minds went blank. Ouyang Jie gasped in shock. Beiming was also incredibly stunned. He knew Lin Xuan wouldn’t just admit defeat and would surely counterattack. In his mind, Lin Xuan would use the Water and Fire Dual Spirit Pearl. In that case, the winner would be hard to predict, but the actual result completely exceeded his expectations. Lin Xuan had still relied on his Physique, and he had actually won!
Unbelievable! This kid’s Physique is ridiculously powerful!
"Pathetically weak. And you really thought you were invincible?" Lin Xuan sneered, looking down at Tian Xing from the 98th level.
How could this be? Tian Xing couldn’t accept it. Me, knocked back? What a joke! He roared in anger and charged forward again, his fists a flurry of meteors striking at Lin Xuan.
"Get lost!" Lin Xuan threw a punch.
His fist, like a striking Serpent, was filled with destructive power. It tore through the meteors and slammed into Tian Xing. Struck as if by lightning, Tian Xing was sent flying backward, this time tumbling all the way down to the 50th level. He cried out as he spat a mouthful of blood, staining the steps red.
The crowd gasped. Was Tian Xing defeated? That’s incredible!
Ouyang Jie looked on in terror, while Beiming was deeply shocked.
Lin Xuan withdrew his fist, turned, and stepped onto the 99th level. He had reached the summit again. Everyone looked up, gazing at the sight in awe, as if looking at a celestial being.
"Damn it, stop him!" Tian Xing roared frantically. He stood up and charged forward again. As he passed Beiming and Ouyang Jie, he yelled, "What are you two just standing there for? Are you just going to watch him take the treasure? Let’s team up and defeat this kid!"
Even now, Tian Xing couldn’t accept it. He had actually lost in a one-on-one fight. The blow to his pride was immense, but it also fueled his killing intent. He had to kill Lin Xuan. He absolutely could not allow this opponent to grow any stronger. If a one-on-one fight wouldn’t work, he would team up.
Ouyang Jie’s interest was piqued; he wanted to team up. But Beiming simply shook his head and sighed, "Forget it. I give up."
He knew Lin Xuan still had the Water and Fire Dual Spirit Pearls. Even if the three of them joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Lin Xuan. Instead, they would likely become his targets and end up severely injured, if not dead. Looking at Tian Xing’s miserable state and thinking of Fire Dance’s earlier escape, Beiming gave up completely.
"What?" Tian Xing froze. "Why give up? The three of us together would be unstoppable!"
Ouyang Jie was also confused. "Are you afraid of this kid?"
"He’s stronger than you think," Beiming replied. "I advise you two to give up as well." After saying his piece, Beiming turned and walked down the mountain.
During this delay, Lin Xuan had already entered the palace at the summit.
"Damn it!" Unwilling to give up, Tian Xing activated his Star Body at all costs and charged forward, rushing into the palace as well. But the next moment, he was sent flying out by a single punch. Like a kite with a broken string, he plummeted toward the foot of the mountain.
When Ouyang Jie saw this, his scalp tingled. Forget it. I should give up. I’m no match for Lin Xuan either.
And so, Lin Xuan re-entered the Earth Palace. Here, too, there was a Guardian Puppet. Lin Xuan began the trial, fighting against the puppet.
Meanwhile, Beiming and Tian Xing had made their way down the mountain. Beiming had walked down on his own, while Tian Xing had been knocked all the way down.
"Sigh, was it really worth it?" Beiming shook his head and sighed, looking at the miserable Tian Xing. I was truly wise. Not making an enemy of Lin Xuan was the best decision I could have made. I’d better head to the fourth Celestial Ladder. With this thought, Beiming walked off into the distance.
Tian Xing also struggled to his feet. Staring at the mountaintop, his face was a mask of resentment. I wasn’t his match? How could this have happened? It must be because that kid found some incredible treasure in these ruins and his power soared. No, I have to get stronger too and take my revenge! He didn’t linger, turning to leave. He headed for the fifth Heaven Ascending Road.
Inside the Earth Palace, Lin Xuan defeated the Guardian Puppet and obtained another Spirit Pearl—the Earth Spirit Pearl. He used his Dragon Power to carve a mark on it, bringing the Earth Spirit Pearl under his control. He had now mastered three Spirit Pearls. Soon, he would be able to collect them all.
Next, Lin Xuan teleported away, heading for the fourth Heaven Ascending Road. When he arrived, he found that this Heaven Ascending Road was already closed. Someone had already obtained the treasure.
Who was it? Lin Xuan was surprised, and the surrounding crowd was in an uproar, discussing it feverishly.
Lin Xuan noticed Beiming was also there, along with other prodigies. They all looked dejected. He also recognized a woman in purple robes: Princess Zi Yan. Surprisingly, she was also here, and she was injured.
"What happened?" Lin Xuan went over to ask.
Princess Zi Yan explained, "I entered the palace, but the Little Celestial King got in too. I fought him, but I lost. That guy is already an eight-star Martial General. I was no match for him. He’s already taken the Golden Spirit Pearl."
An eight-star Martial General! Lin Xuan was astonished. He must be the strongest one here, right? This Little Celestial King is truly formidable.
Lin Xuan turned and left, heading for the fifth Heaven Ascending Road. At the same time, Beiming and the others also rushed over. No matter what, they had to fight for the last treasure.
But when they arrived, they discovered the battle here was also over. Someone had already claimed the Spirit Pearl. The one who had obtained the Wood Spirit Pearl was, surprisingly, Tian Xing.
At this moment, however, Tian Xing was in a terrible state, covered in blood and being pursued by a crowd. Top-tier prodigies like Sword Dust were attacking him while shouting, "Hand over the Spirit Pearl, and we’ll spare your life!"
Tian Xing fled in a panic. Hand it over? What a joke! I’m counting on this Spirit Pearl to defeat Lin Xuan! Gritting his teeth, he crushed a Jade Pendant. Tian Xing transformed into a ray of starlight and vanished.
"After him! Don’t let him escape!" Sword Dust and the other prodigies gave chase frantically.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan also joined the pursuit, planning to seize the Wood Spirit Pearl first. Of course, not every prodigy gave chase. The Little Celestial King, for instance, did not.
The Little Celestial King was unaware of what had happened on the other Heaven Ascending Roads. He was in an excellent mood. He smiled and asked, "Who obtained the other treasures? Was it Sword Dust? Beiming? Or Fire Dance?"
In his mind, only these few top-tier prodigies were capable of claiming the treasures from the other palaces.
