Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 324: Ye Qingwu Is Also a Grandmaster? Chu Yue’s Mind Collapses!
Lin Xuan entered with the members of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Once inside, they were all dumbfounded. So many treasures! Everyone was ecstatic.
Lin Xuan said with a smile, "Everyone, split up and claim your own treasures."
The crowd nodded, no longer hesitating, and quickly rushed in all directions. Ye Qingwu headed straight for an Alchemy Furnace up ahead. Previously, in a secret chamber, they had found an Alchemy Furnace with a single Elixir inside. After consuming that Elixir, she had broken through directly to become a Grandmaster.
She knew just how miraculous the Elixirs here were. If I can get another Elixir, my strength might advance by leaps and bounds! At this thought, she couldn’t help but accelerate, soon arriving near the Alchemy Furnace.
The battle near the Alchemy Furnace was extremely fierce. Clearly, Ye Qingwu wasn’t the only one who wanted the Elixir. One Alchemy Furnace, over two meters tall, was emitting a five-colored medicinal fragrance. Seeing this, the surrounding geniuses went wild. A Five-Colored Divine Pill? They had to get their hands on it.
"All of you, get lost! This Five-Colored Divine Pill is mine!"
"You? You think you’re worthy of the Five-Colored Divine Pill?"
A great battle erupted, incredibly intense.
Suddenly, a scream echoed. Chu Yue had arrived and was striking out continuously. In an instant, the geniuses from the surrounding families were sent flying, staining the sky with their blood.
"A bunch of trash trying to get the Five-Colored Divine Pill? How laughable. Get lost!" Chu Yue snorted disdainfully.
The scalps of the geniuses from the various families tingled with fear. Chu Yue’s strength was too formidable, nearly at the level of a One-star Grandmaster. They were no match for her. Alas, we’d better go fight for other treasures. The group reluctantly retreated.
Chu Yue snorted coldly. It seemed the Five-Colored Divine Pill was hers for the taking. But at that moment, another figure rushed over.
Chu Yue’s expression sank. Someone dared to try and snatch the Five-Colored Divine Pill from her? They were truly courting death. She turned her head, preparing to kill the newcomer as a warning to everyone else. Then she’d see if anyone else dared to compete with her.
However, when she saw who it was, Chu Yue froze. The newcomer was a woman, an absolutely stunning one: Ye Qingwu.
Chu Yue frowned and said coldly, "Out of respect for our shared status as disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy, I’ll give you one chance to live. Scram!"
She completely disregarded Ye Qingwu. On the Hidden Dragon Chart, Ye Qingwu was ranked a mere 12th, while she herself was ranked fifth. Her strength far exceeded Ye Qingwu’s.
Chu Yue assumed Ye Qingwu would turn and leave, but she didn’t.
Ye Qingwu said, "Chu Yue, you’re no match for me. Give up. This Elixir is mine!"
"What?" Chu Yue laughed. "Not your match? You’ve got some nerve! Ye Qingwu, do you think I don’t dare to strike you? If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for what happens next."
A chilling killing intent appeared in Chu Yue’s eyes. Has Ye Qingwu lost her mind? How dare she challenge me!
"You truly are no match for me," Ye Qingwu said. "I am already a Grandmaster."
"You’re a Grandmaster? Hahaha! What a joke!" Chu Yue sneered, finding it utterly unbelievable.
Previously, Ye Qingwu had only been a mid-stage Nine-star Martial General. It had only been half a year, so how could she possibly have become a Grandmaster? Chu Yue herself had been at the peak of the Nine-star realm, and after half a year of training, she was still only a Half-step Grandmaster. Her talent was far superior to Ye Qingwu’s, yet even she hadn’t become a Grandmaster. On what grounds could Ye Qingwu have possibly achieved it?
"Ye Qingwu, it seems spending too much time with Lin Xuan has turned you into a braggart just like him. If you’re a Grandmaster, then I’ll eat every single Alchemy Furnace here." Chu Yue was a hundred percent certain she was lying. "Hurry up and scram, or don’t blame me for being impolite."
Ye Qingwu didn’t leave, because she was, in fact, a Grandmaster. She simply walked forward.
Seeing this, Chu Yue’s face sank. "You’re courting death. Don’t blame me for this." With that, she threw a palm strike.
Her palm transformed into a Celestial River that swept over and enveloped Ye Qingwu. "Pathetic. It’s over," Chu Yue sneered.
But at that very moment, the Celestial River was torn apart, and Ye Qingwu walked out completely unscathed.
Chu Yue screamed, "This is impossible!" She was completely dumbfounded. Her strength far surpassed Ye Qingwu’s. That palm strike should have been more than enough to suppress her. But why was Ye Qingwu unharmed?
Could it be... did her strength increase inside the Ancient Relic? That must be it. Hmph! So what?
"Even if your strength has improved, you’re still not my match!" Chu Yue’s expression darkened as she threw another punch. This time, she used a more powerful Martial Art: Meteor Fist.
The punch transformed into a howling meteor that shot toward Ye Qingwu.
Ye Qingwu simply shook her head and slashed out with her sword. Wind and Thunder Swordsmanship.
The meteor was split in two by the single sword strike. Chu Yue was also sent flying. She crashed into an Alchemy Furnace, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground.
Chu Yue was completely bewildered, her mind a blank. What happened? I was injured by a single sword strike! How could this be?
Ye Qingwu sheathed her sword and said, "You are not my opponent. Since we are fellow disciples, I held back. Behave yourself."
With that, Ye Qingwu ignored Chu Yue and walked forward.
"You... you really broke through and became a Grandmaster?" Chu Yue came to her senses, utterly horrified.
Her eyes instantly turned red, consumed by jealousy. The once-inferior Ye Qingwu had actually surpassed her. It was unbearable! She let out a furious roar, her beautiful face twisting into a ferocious scowl.
It would be one thing if it were Lin Xuan; he had always been stronger than her. But Ye Qingwu? What was she? Previously her inferior, now she had surpassed her! Chu Yue couldn’t accept it. Roaring with anger, she lunged at Ye Qingwu with both fists.
Ye Qingwu’s expression hardened. She countered with a backhanded sword strike that slammed into Chu Yue’s fists.
Chu Yue spat blood as she was sent flying into the distance like a kite with a broken string. She was completely outmatched.
A long time later, Chu Yue crawled up from the ground. She gritted her teeth and vowed, "Damn it! I must have my revenge! I must break through and become a Grandmaster!"
She turned and charged off in another direction.
After that, Chu Yue attacked frantically, sparing no cost to seize Treasures. And indeed, her efforts paid off, as she managed to snatch quite a few valuable items.
Chu Yue was ecstatic. With these Treasures, it wouldn’t be long before she could break through to the Grandmaster realm. When that time came, she would have her revenge. She would kill Ye Qingwu to extinguish the hatred in her heart!
「On the other side」
Lin Xuan was also ready to act. With so many Treasures here, he naturally wouldn’t leave empty-handed. Taking a deep breath, he prepared to make his move, also heading toward an Alchemy Furnace.
Just then, the big black dog’s voice rang out in his mind, "Kid, wait. This is a trap. Don’t be rash."
Lin Xuan stopped dead in his tracks and asked, "What trap? Is there an Array here?" As he spoke, he glanced around, his vigilance heightened.
The big black dog said, "It’s not a problem with an Array. All the Treasures you see are nothing but Illusion Techniques. There are no actual Treasures here."
What? Lin Xuan was stunned. The big black dog was the number one Divine Beast; he couldn’t possibly be mistaken. This entire place was a land of illusions? Then what are all these people fighting over? Thinking of this, Lin Xuan’s scalp went numb.
He shouted, "Everyone, stop! These are all illusions! There are no Treasures here! This is a trap, get out of here!"
However, no one listened to him. Everyone’s eyes were red with greed as they fought over the "Treasures." Some even sneered disdainfully.
Chu Yue snorted. This Lin Xuan is ridiculous. Does he think he can trick us into leaving with such a simple lie? Does he take us for fools?
Elsewhere, the Third Crown Prince roared, "Don’t listen to Lin Xuan! He’s trying to trick us into leaving so he can hoard all the Treasures for himself! Keep fighting! Seize the Elixirs from the Alchemy Furnaces!"
The geniuses from the other families and sects didn’t believe him either. Lin Xuan was known for bragging, so it seemed perfectly plausible that he was spinning a lie to deceive them. However, they all considered themselves intelligent people and refused to be fooled.
