Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 221: Blind to the Treasure

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he was stunned. The people around him were equally taken aback.

What? What did they just hear? Someone gave Lin Xuan a Dragon Claw Stone Slab!

They had to be kidding. They had all just heard how precious the Dragon Claw Stone Slab was. It possessed the immense power of the Dragon Race, and with only one in existence, all the major families and sects were vying for it. Even the royal family was getting involved in the scramble. The value was unimaginable. And such a treasure was being given to Lin Xuan? What a joke! They simply couldn’t believe it.

In the distance, the members of the Star Pavilion also heard this and burst into laughter.

Leng Rushuang rolled her eyes. "Utter nonsense. How could you possibly possess a Dragon Claw Stone Slab?"

Shangguan Hao shook his head with a sneer. "What a buffoon. Do you even know what a Dragon Claw Stone Slab represents? You think you can get one? Dream on! Who do you think you are? Even a prince might not be able to obtain it, and you think you’re worthy?"

Lin Xuan laughed. "Is the Dragon Claw Stone Slab really that precious? I can have as many as I want."

He wasn’t bragging. These slabs were merely traces left behind by the Dragon Claw Hand technique. Lin Xuan’s Heavenly Hunting Hand was even more powerful, so he could naturally leave behind Dragon Claw marks as well. In other words, if he were to casually grab a stone slab, it would become a Dragon Claw Stone Slab.

But the others didn’t know this. Upon hearing his claim, they roared with laughter, thinking Lin Xuan was an incredible braggart.

What an idiot. Chu Yue snorted coldly.

The Grand Elder rolled his eyes, the Third Elder sneered disdainfully, the Sixth Elder shook his head helplessly, and even the Ninth Elder wore a peculiar expression. Lin Xuan was good at everything, except he loved to boast.

But Lin Xuan must have his reasons for leaving. After some thought, the Ninth Elder said, "Go, but come back quickly."

Lin Xuan left the Heavenly Dao Tower and walked to a distant, quiet spot to wait. Before long, the Grand Steward of the Cyan Dragon Villa arrived and knelt on one knee before him.

"Greetings, Young Master."

"Rise," Lin Xuan nodded and asked, "Where is it?"

The Grand Steward took a box from his Storage Ring. Opening it revealed a stone inside. It was ancient, covered in moss, and bore five cracks on its surface.

Lin Xuan couldn’t sense any aura, so he placed his hand on it.

"Young Master, be careful! This aura is powerful," the Grand Steward exclaimed, startled. If Lin Xuan were injured by the Dragon Claw’s aura, he would have no way to explain it upon his return.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine." Lin Xuan placed his palm on the stone. Upon sensing it for a moment, he did indeed feel a powerful aura, but it was useless to him.

Since the other party had already delivered it, he felt it would be rude to refuse. "I’ll take it. You may go back now." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"As you command."

The Grand Steward turned and left, a doubt lingering in his mind. Hmm, why didn’t Lin Xuan get hurt just now? He must not have placed his hand directly on the Dragon Claw cracks. Otherwise, with his strength, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.

Lin Xuan put away the Dragon Claw Stone Slab and turned to leave.

He returned to the Heavenly Dao Tower, where the other disciples began to murmur among themselves upon seeing him.

Someone asked, "Did you get the Dragon Claw Stone Slab?"

HAHAHA! The others burst into laughter.

Shangguan Hao jeered, "Didn’t you say someone was giving you a Dragon Claw Stone Slab? Take it out and show us, then."

"How could he possibly have one?" Leng Rushuang shook her head with a cold laugh.

Chu Yue rolled her eyes. "If he can actually produce a Dragon Claw Stone Slab, I’ll eat it right here."

No one believed him.

Lin Xuan, however, stopped. With a wave of his hand, he brought out a stone slab.

The crowd was stunned. Holy crap, he really has one!

Shangguan Hao’s smile vanished. Leng Rushuang’s grin froze on her face. Chu Yue’s expression changed. No way, do I really have to eat that stone?

She looked closely at the slab. It appeared very unremarkable, covered in moss and several cracks. She tried to sense it but couldn’t detect any power of the Dragon Dao and immediately became furious.

"You take out a broken rock and try to pass it off as a Dragon Claw Stone Slab? Who are you trying to fool?"

Chu Yue was startled for a moment. She had genuinely been worried that Lin Xuan might have one. Now it seemed her fears were baseless. How could a braggart possibly possess such a Treasure?

Shangguan Hao added, "They say the aura on a Dragon Claw Stone Slab is phenomenal. This broken rock of yours has cracks, but it lacks any sharp aura. How dare you call it a Dragon Claw Stone Slab? What a joke!"

Leng Rushuang snorted coldly. The others all shook their heads, feeling that Lin Xuan’s bluff had finally been called.

"What a disgrace," the Grand Elder snorted.

"I really want to kick him out," the Third Elder muttered with a sneer.

Ye Qingwu and her companions were speechless as well. When would Lin Xuan ever become grounded and stop boasting?

Lin Xuan said, "This is the Dragon Claw Stone Slab. If you can’t recognize it, you’re just blind."

With that, Lin Xuan ignored Chu Yue and the others, walking instead toward Ye Qingwu. He tossed the stone slab to her and said, "I don’t need this. You can have it."

"You’re courting death!" Chu Yue was furious. He dared to say she was blind? He was asking for it!

Shangguan Hao’s face turned gloomy. As soon as he had the chance, he would definitely kill this guy.

Leng Rushuang bristled with killing intent. Even the Grand Elder and the others’ faces darkened. They didn’t believe it was real, so were they blind too? What a joke. This Lin Xuan was becoming more and more audacious. They would have to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Ye Qingwu, on the other hand, was dumbfounded, her little face blank. After a moment, she puffed out her cheeks and said, "Lin Xuan! It’s one thing to brag, but why throw this at me? I don’t want this trash!"

It was just a broken rock. Ye Qingwu felt humiliated, and the people around her were laughing at her.

Lin Xuan said, "It might be a bit broken, but it really is a Dragon Claw Stone Slab. You should keep it safe. And when you’re trying to comprehend it, be extremely careful. Don’t recklessly place your hand on it, or you’ll get hurt."

As he spoke, Lin Xuan kicked the stone over to Ye Qingwu’s feet.

HAHAHA! Everyone burst out laughing. The way Lin Xuan kicked the stone was like kicking away garbage. It was obviously nothing valuable. If it were truly a Dragon Claw Stone Slab, he would be cradling it carefully. This kid was definitely bluffing.

Ye Qingwu’s face flushed with shame. She gritted her teeth and quickly swept the stone into her Storage Ring. Arguing any further would only bring her more embarrassment.

It’s better to just put it away for now. Tomorrow, when we’re training in the mountains, I’ll find a random place to throw it away.

After that, everyone resumed their training. With the elders’ guidance, their strength improved steadily.

Lin Xuan once again entered the Meditation Space. This time, however, he didn’t practice the Cyan Dragon Heavenly Hunting Hand. Instead, he began cultivating the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist and the Kunpeng Body Technique, hoping to raise them to a higher level.

「The next day.」

Everyone left the Heavenly Dao Tower and continued into the great mountains to hunt demon beasts and train.

Lin Xuan also ventured into the mountains, but this time, someone had their sights on him.

It was Leng Rushuang.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Kid, you had the nerve to call us blind yesterday. You’re just asking for it! Today, I’m going to teach you a lesson!"

With that, she lunged toward Lin Xuan.
