Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 253: You Have a Dragon Claw Stone Slab!
The sword strike transformed into wind and thunder, dancing through the air as it clove through the blizzard of ice and snow to slash at Leng Rushuang. With a violent spray of blood, she was sent flying, staining the sky red.
Countless onlookers were so shocked their minds went blank. How is this possible?
The members of Star Pavilion were stupefied, and their elders’ eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Was Leng Rushuang’s ultimate, life-risking move truly shattered by a single sword strike just like that?
What kind of Sword Qi is this? It’s terrifying! When did the ’One Sword Moves the Wind and Thunder’ technique become so powerful? This Swordsmanship is unbelievably strong! The disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect felt their scalps go numb.
Even the Celestial Sword Sect Leader couldn’t help but sigh, "I never expected the Heavenly Dao Institute to have such a Sword Dao prodigy. This is truly beyond my expectations."
A sharp glint appeared in Jian Wushuang’s eyes as he stared intently at Ye Qingwu. "Interesting," he muttered. "You’re qualified to make me act."
The crowd was stunned. Anyone considered an opponent by Jian Wushuang was from the first echelon of geniuses. To think that Ye Qingwu now had this qualification was simply incredible.
"She won?" The people of Wangyue Pavilion were dumbfounded, feeling as if they were in a dream.
Lin Xuan smiled. "I told you all, Senior Sister Ye was sure to win."
The onlookers around him gasped. They had thought Lin Xuan was just bragging before, but it turned out he had been telling the truth all along.
"Winner, Ye Qingwu," the imperial judge announced.
Ye Qingwu stepped off the stage, her face flushed with excitement. I actually won! I defeated a peak nine-star Dancing General! This is unbelievable!
"Senior Sister Ye is incredible!"
"Senior Sister Ye, that last sword strike was awesome!"
The disciples of Wangyue Pavilion rushed over, swarming around Ye Qingwu in the center and screaming with excitement.
Even the elders approached her. "Qingwu, what happened? How did your strength become so great?"
"That’s right! You hid this from us so well."
Ye Qingwu replied, "Elders, I wasn’t hiding anything. To be honest, I never expected to be this strong myself."
The Wangyue Pavilion Master came over and asked, "What’s really going on?"
"Was it guidance from the Sixth Elder?"
Ye Qingwu had visited the Heavenly Dao Tower before and received some instruction from the Sixth Elder. Perhaps that was the reason for her sudden leap in strength.
The Sixth Elder himself looked a bit bewildered. He had indeed offered her guidance, but it shouldn’t have been enough to allow her to fight across two entire realms. He shook his head and chuckled, "I don’t possess that kind of skill."
"Ye Qingwu must have another trump card."
If it wasn’t an elder’s guidance, then what was it? Everyone was puzzled. It wasn’t just the people from Wangyue Pavilion; those from Tianyang Pavilion and Purple Mist Pavilion were equally baffled.
On the other side, the members of Star Pavilion were also looking over, their gazes extremely hostile. They gritted their teeth, looking as if they wanted to eat Ye Qingwu alive.
The Star Pavilion Master spoke coldly, "From now on, if any of you encounter this Ye Qingwu, strike without mercy. Don’t hold back."
Shangguan Hao nodded. "I will avenge Leng Rushuang."
Nearby, Chu Yue also snorted. "If I run into her, I won’t hold back either."
The competition continued.
However, no one from Star Pavilion crossed paths with Ye Qingwu. Instead, she faced prodigies from several other sects. They were all second-echelon geniuses, but every single one of them was defeated by Ye Qingwu’s sword. Her blade was terrifyingly powerful.
This shocked countless people, and it seemed another Sword Dao prodigy was on the rise.
Her next match was against a genius from the Celestial Sword Sect. This disciple, named Qin Tian, was considered second only to Jian Wushuang within their sect and was a top-tier expert of the second echelon.
The crowd grew excited. A battle between two Sword Dao experts would surely be a clash between a dragon and a tiger. Who was the stronger one?
Some spectators guessed it would be Ye Qingwu.
But the disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect declared, "Qin Tian’s Swordsmanship is second only to Jian Wushuang’s. You could say he’s the strongest person below the first echelon. He absolutely will not lose."
"No matter how strong that Ye Qingwu is, she can’t possibly win."
The battle erupted. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
From the very beginning, both combatants unleashed their powerful Swordsmanship. Above the fighting stage, Sword Qi flashed and swept in all directions.
After a hundred exchanges, Ye Qingwu sent Qin Tian flying from the stage with a single sword strike, winning the match.
This outcome shocked everyone, especially the members of the Celestial Sword Sect. They were completely stunned.
How is this possible? Even Qin Tian lost? Is this Ye Qingwu trying to defy the heavens?
"I feel like she’s already qualified to enter the first echelon."
The prodigies of the first echelon were also astonished. They never expected such a dark horse to emerge.
The people of the Heavenly Dao Institute went wild. They had never imagined Ye Qingwu’s strength would be so heaven-defying. The members of Wangyue Pavilion chanted her name excitedly.
The people from Tianyang Pavilion and Purple Mist Pavilion offered their congratulations. "Your Wangyue Pavilion has produced a peerless dark horse!"
The faces of the Star Pavilion members turned green with fury. Damn it, how is this Ye Qingwu so strong? Is she really going to make it into the first echelon?
Chu Yue frowned tightly. Something’s not right. This is all wrong. Her Sword Qi has a sharp aura, very much like the power of a Dragon Claw... Damn it, how could she possibly possess such power? She was on the verge of going mad.
She walked over to Ye Qingwu and demanded, "How can your Sword Qi be so sharp? How did you do it?"
The others were just as curious. Thousands of pairs of eyes fell upon Ye Qingwu.
Ye Qingwu said, "It’s all thanks to Junior Brother Lin. He’s the one who helped me. If it weren’t for him, my strength couldn’t have progressed by leaps and bounds."
What? It was Lin Xuan?
Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd was flabbergasted, and they all turned to look at Lin Xuan. What had this kid done to cause such an earth-shattering change in Ye Qingwu’s strength in such a short time? Weren’t his methods a little too heaven-defying?
"This Lin Xuan’s talent is peerless. Don’t tell me he gave his own talent to Ye Qingwu?" someone speculated.
Another person rolled their eyes. "Are you kidding me? Talent is innate. How can you just give it to someone else? What a joke!"
"Then how do you explain Ye Qingwu’s rapid leap in strength?"
Even the members of Wangyue Pavilion were confused. The Pavilion Master asked again, "That’s right, Qingwu. What exactly happened?"
Ye Qingwu looked toward Lin Xuan. "Junior Brother Lin, can I tell them?" After all, Lin Xuan had given her the stone slab, so she had to ask for his opinion.
Lin Xuan just shrugged. "Go ahead and tell them. It’s not a secret."
To him, the stone slab was nothing special. It was something he could create anytime; he could make as many as he wanted. A single swipe of his claw could produce a Dragon Claw Stone Slab.
Hearing his casual reply only made the crowd even more bewildered. Just how did Lin Xuan do it?
Getting Lin Xuan’s approval, Ye Qingwu decided not to hide it any longer. She said, "Junior Brother Lin gave me a stone slab."
A stone slab? The crowd was stunned. What kind of stone slab could possess such power? They thought it must be a joke. How could a mere stone slab allow someone’s strength to advance by leaps and bounds in a short amount of time? They simply couldn’t believe it. Could Ye Qingwu be bragging?
Ye Qingwu continued, "It was a Dragon Claw Stone Slab."
What?
The entire arena fell into a shocked silence. Everyone was stunned!
A Dragon Claw Stone Slab! Did she mean the legendary slate that had been scored by a dragon’s claw, leaving its mark behind? It was said to possess an incomparably sharp aura.
That was an incredibly precious treasure, a priceless artifact. When one appeared in the past, all the major families and sects had fought desperately over it. It was even said that the imperial family had joined the struggle.
Ye Qingwu actually possessed such a precious stone slab? And it was a gift from Lin Xuan!
This was too unbelievable. Where in the world did Lin Xuan get a Dragon Claw Stone Slab?
