Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 212: Suppression!
For the past few months, Chu Yue had been bottling up a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent it. Now, upon learning of Lin Xuan’s return, she had found her outlet. She was determined to act and teach Lin Xuan a proper lesson.
How dare that brat challenge my brother? He’s truly courting death! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"Lead the way to Lin Xuan!" Chu Yue stormed out of the main hall, fuming.
The other disciples were utterly shocked by the scene.
"Senior Disciple Chu Yue is going to make a move! That Lin Xuan is doomed."
"Let’s go watch the show."
"Who else but Lin Xuan is to blame for being so arrogant? Daring to challenge the Star Pavilion and our Eldest Disciple... he’s a dead man for sure."
"Heh, it would be best if Senior Disciple Chu Yue crippled him. The mere sight of that brat annoys me."
A large group followed Chu Yue, marching menacingly toward Lin Xuan. Disciples from the other pavilions of the Heavenly Dao Academy gasped when they heard the news.
"It’s over. Lin Xuan is in for it."
"He’s going to be suppressed, isn’t he?"
"He might even get crippled."
From a great distance, someone pointed at Lin Xuan and said quickly, "Senior Disciple Chu Yue, that person over there is Lin Xuan."
Chu Yue looked ahead and saw a handsome young man.
He’s good-looking, but far too foolish and completely unaware of his limits.
Chu Yue snorted coldly, preparing to strike. Just then, a thunderous roar echoed from the distance as countless beams of moonlight descended from the sky. The Wangyue Pavilion Master landed swiftly, accompanied by a group of elders. They arrived at Lin Xuan’s side and exclaimed, "Lin Xuan, you’ve finally returned! Come with me, quickly."
The Wangyue Pavilion Master grabbed Lin Xuan’s shoulder, and they soared into the sky, disappearing from sight. They left everyone behind, gaping in awe.
Chu Yue was stunned. What is happening? The Wangyue Pavilion Master actually appeared and personally took that boy away!
Dammit! I didn’t even get a chance to strike! In a fit of rage, she let out a furious roar, shattering several large trees around her. The other disciples were so frightened their scalps tingled, and they scrambled to get out of her way.
"Does this boy have such high standing that the Wangyue Pavilion Master himself came to greet him!?" Chu Yue demanded through gritted teeth.
A disciple beside her replied, "This Lin Xuan does indeed hold an extraordinary status. He is known as the top genius of the Wangyue Pavilion, the hope for its rise. That’s why the Wangyue Pavilion Master values him so much. I suspect he personally took him away to help him secure a spot to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower."
"He wants to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower? In his dreams!" Chu Yue seethed. "I will absolutely not let him in."
With that, she turned and left. She returned to the Star Pavilion and found the Star Pavilion Master. "Master, I hate that Lin Xuan. I don’t want him to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower."
Upon hearing Lin Xuan’s name, the Star Pavilion Master’s expression grew grim. He said, "Don’t worry, my disciple. I will definitely not allow that fellow to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower. I have already used my connections and spoken with the four Grand Elders. That brat has absolutely no chance of getting in."
"Really? That’s wonderful!" Chu Yue was overjoyed.
She sneered inwardly. Lin Xuan, who do you think you are, trying to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower? Train alongside me? Dream on! You’re not even worthy to carry my shoes!
「In the great hall of the Wangyue Pavilion.」
The Pavilion Master and a group of elders gathered, surrounding Lin Xuan. When they saw that he had broken through again to become a five-star Martial General, they were utterly astonished. Breaking through an entire realm in just four months was unbelievably fast. After all, Lin Xuan was only sixteen years old, just a first-year freshman. Under normal circumstances, a freshman would be a two-star Martial General at most.
But as for Lin Xuan, he was a five-star Martial General. This was already a heaven-defying feat! Combined with his ability to fight opponents in higher realms, it was even more outrageous.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master said, "There’s still one month until the Hidden Dragon Chart opens. To prepare for the Hidden Dragon Battle, the Academy has opened the Heavenly Dao Tower. I will fight to get you a spot. Once inside, you must train diligently and strive to improve your strength as much as possible within this month."
Lin Xuan nodded. He had some understanding of the Heavenly Dao Tower. It was a very peculiar place within the Heavenly Dao Academy where cultivation speed far surpassed that of the outside world. It not only accelerated one’s cultivation level but also the speed of practicing Martial Arts.
The masters of the four great pavilions were all using their connections to vie for spots. This time, the Star Pavilion Master was pulling out all the stops. He had failed to secure the Guardian’s spot last time, which resulted in it being snatched by Lin Xuan. He would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen again.
The competition among the Pavilion Masters was fierce, but eventually, the dust settled.
The Star Pavilion obtained ten spots. The Purple Mist Pavilion and the Sun Pavilion each received eight. The Wangyue Pavilion received only five spots—the fewest of all.
And among those five, there was no spot for Lin Xuan.
An uproar went through the crowd. It was over. Lin Xuan wouldn’t be able to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower. His cultivation speed would slow down considerably, and he would be surpassed by the other geniuses.
It was clear someone was targeting Lin Xuan. Is there even a need to ask? It must be the Star Pavilion! Lin Xuan has repeatedly slapped them in the face; how could they possibly let it go? The retaliation was swift.
However, some people commented, "Giving him a spot would be useless anyway. He’s still too young and his cultivation isn’t high enough. He has no chance of making it onto the Hidden Dragon Chart."
"It would be a waste of a spot."
"Exactly, that’s what I think too."
Discussions broke out everywhere. When the members of the Star Pavilion heard the news, they cheered with excitement.
Excellent, Lin Xuan didn’t get a spot. Hmph, let’s see if that brat still dares to be so arrogant in the future!
A cold smile touched Chu Yue’s lips. Just as expected, he couldn’t get into the Heavenly Dao Tower. She didn’t have time to deal with him right now, but when she found the time, she would make sure to torment him properly. For now, she had to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower to cultivate.
As a top prodigy, Chu Yue naturally secured a spot. Other top talents like Shangguan Hao and Leng Rushuang also received one. However, the last spot surprisingly went to Tian Xing, which astonished countless people. Tian Xing was only a seven-star Martial General, so for her to get a spot was truly unbelievable.
Tian Xing was ecstatic. She said, "Senior Disciple Chu Yue, thank you! I will not disappoint you."
Clearly, Tian Xing had paid a great price to obtain this spot.
Chu Yue nodded. "I have high hopes for you. Train hard. In a couple of years, you will surely ascend the Hidden Dragon Chart."
The others looked on with immense envy.
The Sun Pavilion and Purple Mist Pavilion also confirmed their candidates for the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Wangyue Pavilion was incredibly heavy. Their pavilion was ranked second, yet they had received the fewest spots. This was clearly unreasonable; someone was actively suppressing them. More importantly, Lin Xuan hadn’t received a spot. This was simply unbelievable.
"How could this happen? They’re targeting our Wangyue Pavilion!"
"It’s not fair!"
"I won’t accept this!"
"Exactly! Lin Xuan is a top genius and a Core Disciple! Why doesn’t he get a spot?"
Many disciples were deeply dissatisfied, protesting the injustice on Lin Xuan’s behalf.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master’s face was extremely grim. It must have been the Star Pavilion pulling strings behind the scenes. Dammit!
He turned to Lin Xuan and said, "I will definitely fight to get a spot for you."
