Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 340: Wushuang Defeated! Only Lin Xuan Can Save Them!
Jian Wushuang’s face turned pale.
So he’s a peak One-Star Grandmaster! No wonder I wasn’t his match.
Although he had comprehended Sword Intent, his strength was only equivalent to a mid-stage One-Star Grandmaster. Even if he fought desperately, he could at most contend with a late-stage one. Facing a peak One-Star Grandmaster, he was no match at all. His defeat was not unjust.
Seeing Jian Wushuang’s shocked expression, the Ninth Prince of Liuyun wore a smug smile.
Compete with me? This Great Xia Country is far too lacking.
But just then, a cold scoff sounded out. "What’s so great about a peak One-Star Grandmaster? You’re not even fit to carry Young Master Lin’s shoes."
"What did you say?" The Ninth Prince of Liuyun grew angry. He turned to look at Ye Qingwu and said coldly, "Say that again."
"I said, you’re not fit to carry Junior Brother Lin’s shoes," Ye Qingwu snorted.
Wan Tianming stepped forward and said, "That’s right. Do you think being a peak One-Star Grandmaster allows you to contend with Lin Xuan? That’s laughable! Young Master Lin’s strength is beyond your imagination."
"Back in the Ancient Relic, Young Master Lin killed a Two-Star Grandmaster!"
"What is a mere peak One-Star Grandmaster in comparison?"
Wan Tianming and the others sneered.
The Ninth Prince’s expression changed drastically. "What? Lin Xuan can kill a Two-Star Grandmaster?"
Is that true? This can’t be right. How could he possibly be so powerful?
"What’s impossible about it? We saw it with our own eyes, how could it be fake?"
"Exactly! Young Master Lin’s strength is beyond what you can imagine."
The Ninth Prince of Liuyun was utterly shocked. The other prodigies of the Liuyun Country were also stunned. They couldn’t believe the legendary Champion Marquis was so terrifying, his strength so heaven-defying.
Even Gu Linfeng, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened them. An extremely sharp brilliance flashed in his eyes.
He said, "This Lin Xuan is indeed the rival I deemed worthy. His strength is truly formidable."
"But unfortunately, he’s dead," he continued. "It’s a genuine pity that I was unable to fight a prodigy like him."
After speaking, he closed his eyes again, ignoring everyone else.
Bai Yu, Yun Changkong, and the others said, "Is Lin Xuan really that strong? I don’t believe it."
"Precisely. He’s dead, so isn’t it just your word against ours?"
"Exactly. You say he had the strength of a Two-Star Grandmaster, so how can you prove it?"
"That Lin Xuan can’t come out and demonstrate his strength. We simply don’t believe you."
"Damn it! How dare you question Young Master Lin?" Wan Tianming and the others were infuriated. Lin Xuan had saved their lives, and they wouldn’t allow anyone to question him.
"Isn’t it natural to doubt him? This Lin Xuan seems to be only sixteen or seventeen. How could he possibly possess such power?"
"You’re obviously exaggerating," the prodigies of Liuyun Country snorted.
"Outrageous! You dare question Young Master Lin? Apologize to him!" Wan Tianming and his group raged.
Ye Qingwu’s expression was icy. She would not allow anyone to slander Lin Xuan.
At this moment, an elder from the Liuyun Country spoke. "So what if he had the strength of a Two-Star Grandmaster? A dead prodigy is meaningless. In any case, you lost this exchange match."
Wan Tianming and the others fell silent.
Ye Qingwu’s eyes reddened.
Even the elders of the Great Xia Country’s royal family could only shake their heads and sigh helplessly.
It was true. No matter how strong Lin Xuan was or how talented, it was useless now. Lin Xuan had already fallen in the Ancient Relic, unable to help them turn the tide.
News of the exchange match spread, shaking the Great Xia Country to its core.
What? Their top ten prodigies lost!
The experts on the Hidden Dragon Chart were no match for them?
Even Jian Wushuang was defeated!
How could this have happened? The people of Great Xia couldn’t accept it. They had always looked down on the Liuyun Country. In their eyes, Liuyun Country daring to cause a scene was a case of gross overestimation. Yet, they never expected to be the ones who lost. The Liuyun Country had surprisingly produced six Grandmaster-level prodigies. How could their lineup be so formidable?
"I heard Jian Wushuang was defeated in a single move!"
"And the one who attacked wasn’t even the strongest from Liuyun Country, just their second-ranked prodigy."
"Then how terrifying must their number one prodigy be?"
The crowd despaired.
Someone said, "If only Lin Xuan were here."
"With Lin Xuan’s strength, he could have definitely turned the tide and swept away the Liuyun Country."
"That’s for sure."
"Lin Xuan killed a Two-Star Grandmaster in the Ancient Relic before. Defeating the Liuyun Country’s top ten prodigies would be a piece of cake for him."
"If Lin Xuan were here, he could sweep away Liuyun Country’s top ten prodigies with one hand."
"Alas, what a pity that Lin Xuan fell. It would be so good if he were still alive."
"I really miss Lin Xuan!" the people sighed repeatedly.
「Inside a secret chamber of the Ancient Relic.」
Lin Xuan was unaware of the situation outside. At this moment, he stood there, waving his palm as a Flying Sword wove continuously around him. Like a bolt of lightning, it stabbed forward. With a flick of his finger, the Flying Sword flew back before him like a nimble fish.
Lin Xuan was overjoyed. So this is the Great Derivation Sword Technique? It’s so powerful!
The Sword King beside him was dumbfounded. Lin Xuan’s talent had once again exceeded his expectations. In just a few days, he had grasped the Great Derivation Sword Technique. Although he was just a beginner, it was already an incredibly heaven-defying feat. After all, the Great Derivation Sword Technique was extremely difficult to practice; it had taken the Sword King nearly a year just to master the basics.
This kid is truly a monster, a prodigy.
The big black dog nodded with satisfaction. "Kid, now that you’ve mastered the basics of the Sword Control Technique, your strength has grown even greater. With your current combat power, you can sweep away any Two-Star Grandmaster. You can be considered invincible among Two-Star Grandmasters! Even a peak Two-Star Grandmaster would not be your opponent."
Invincible among Two-Star Grandmasters? Lin Xuan clenched his fists, overjoyed.
He asked, "When can I contend with a Three-Star Grandmaster then?"
"That’s too difficult. You’re now a Seven-Star Martial General, and you’re already fighting across six cultivation realms, which is incredible. But fighting across seven realms is extremely hard. It’s only possible if you can train the Great Derivation Sword Technique to the second level. If you can control two Flying Swords at the same time, only then might you be able to fight across seven realms."
Lin Xuan nodded and continued to cultivate.
「In a certain palace within the Imperial City.」
The ten prodigies of Liuyun Country frowned as they heard the public’s discussions. Is Lin Xuan really that strong? Can he really defeat a Two-Star Grandmaster? That’s too unbelievable.
"Hmph! Even if he truly has that strength, so what."
"No matter how strong, he couldn’t possibly sweep us all."
"Gu Linfeng’s strength is beyond their imagination."
"Indeed, even if Lin Xuan were alive, he couldn’t defeat Gu Linfeng."
"Linfeng, make your move. Let the people of Great Xia witness your true strength," the elder of Liuyun Country said. "Let them know the might of the Liuyun Country."
Gu Linfeng opened his eyes and said, "The current members of the Hidden Dragon Chart are not my opponents. I am preparing to challenge the previous generation’s Hidden Dragon Chart. Only they are worthy of being my rivals. Spread the word. I will be challenging the prodigies of the previous Hidden Dragon Chart."
Soon, the prodigies of Liuyun Country retaliated against the rumors.
They announced, "So what if that Lin Xuan could defeat a Two-Star Grandmaster? He still wouldn’t be able to sweep away our Liuyun Country. Our number one prodigy in Liuyun Country, Gu Linfeng, has also defeated a Two-Star Grandmaster. His strength is among the top tier of all Two-Star Grandmasters. No matter how strong that Lin Xuan was, he could never be Gu Linfeng’s match."
"That Lin Xuan probably only managed to kill an early-stage Two-Star Grandmaster."
"Gu Linfeng, on the other hand, has defeated a late-stage Two-Star Grandmaster!"
"Even if Lin Xuan were alive, he would be utterly crushed before Gu Linfeng!"
