Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 345: I! Champion Marquis! Lin Xuan!

"Someone is challenging Gu Linfeng again? Who is it? How brave!"

The surrounding crowd was stunned. Many had challenged Gu Linfeng recently, but all had been defeated. As a result, no one had dared to challenge him for the past few days. To their surprise, a new challenger had appeared. They all stared at the black-robed man in confusion.

"Who is this person?"

"No idea. I can’t see his face clearly, but his aura doesn’t seem very strong. Do you think he can succeed?"

The crowd murmured among themselves, their voices filled with doubt.

At this moment, the doors to the palace in front of them opened, and Bai Yu walked out. He frowned at the black-robed man and asked, "Who are you? State your name."

"You are not worthy of knowing," Lin Xuan said coldly. "Tell Gu Linfeng to come out. Only he is qualified to speak with me."

The onlookers gasped. "Wow, he’s so arrogant!"

Bai Yu’s frown deepened. Ever since Gu Linfeng had displayed his formidable strength, no one had dared to act so arrogantly before them. This black-robed man was unbelievably reckless. He snorted coldly. "I’d like to see what gives you the right to be so arrogant."

With that said, his figure flickered as he charged toward the black-robed man.

This black-robed man was, of course, Lin Xuan. At this moment, all eyes were on him, waiting to see how he would counterattack.

Lin Xuan simply waved his hand, plucked a leaf from a nearby tree, and flicked it forward. The crowd was dumbfounded.

"What is he doing? Attacking with a leaf?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Is this a joke? He must be messing around. How can a leaf be used as a weapon?"

"If he can hit his opponent with that, I’ll eat this whole tree!"

Bai Yu was also full of disdain. This fool actually dared to underestimate him. The power in his palm intensified. The next instant, his palm collided with the leaf.

However, the leaf instantly pierced through his palm.

"AH!"

A scream tore through the air as Bai Yu clutched his hand and stumbled back, blood splattering on the ground.

How is this possible? Bai Yu was completely stunned. He had actually been injured by a single leaf. How could this have happened?

The others were also frozen in shock, their eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.

"My god, what did I just see?"

"He injured someone with a leaf!"

"Is that for real? Isn’t that a legendary technique? Someone can actually do it!"

"Holy hell! This black-robed man is an expert! He must be a Grandmaster!"

At that moment, the entire crowd went wild.

"Who... who in the world are you?" Bai Yu’s voice trembled. He could feel a sharp aura emanating from the wound. He had felt this aura before—it was Sword Intent. The man before him was definitely an expert.

"I told you, you are not worthy of knowing. Have Gu Linfeng come out and speak with me."

"I understand. I’ll go get Gu Linfeng right now." After speaking, Bai Yu turned and ran into the palace, all his previous arrogance gone.

The people in the crowd grew even more excited.

"Wow, another master has appeared!"

"I knew it! The Great Xia Country is full of hidden masters!"

"Quick, tell our friends to come watch the battle!"

These people called their friends and companions, and the news quickly spread throughout the Imperial City. The city was already teeming with people, as most of the spectators from the previous battles had not yet left. When they heard this news, they all became excited and rushed out from the various taverns, instantly gathering around the palace.

Even the geniuses from the Hidden Dragon Chart arrived. After arriving, they all scrutinized the black-robed man, speculating on his true identity.

Chu Yue came as well. When she saw the black-robed man, she was taken aback. She felt as if she had seen him before at the Cyan Dragon Pavilion. He was truly a hidden master.

Chu Yue asked, "Is this person really that powerful?"

The people around her knew her identity and quickly replied, "Moon Fairy Chu Yue, you didn’t see it. This person is incredibly strong. He injured Bai Yu with a single leaf."

"What?" Chu Yue was shocked.

The newcomers who just arrived were also in an uproar. Injuring Bai Yu with a leaf? Was that true?

"That’s impossible! Is that the legendary technique of injuring someone with a leaf?"

"Injuring an ordinary person would be one thing, but who is Bai Yu? He’s a half-step Grandmaster! He’s ranked tenth on the Liuyun Chart, even stronger than many geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Chart. Even a true Grandmaster couldn’t injure a genius like that with a mere leaf."

Chu Yue didn’t believe it either. She frowned and said, "Could there be something special about the leaf?"

"No, we saw him pluck it from this very tree with our own eyes."

Chu Yue glanced at the large tree, her brow furrowing again. "I still don’t believe it. Maybe he has some sort of mechanism on his palm?"

As she spoke, her gaze fell upon the black-robed man’s hand. The others looked as well. Someone remarked, "Maybe he’s wearing Grandmaster gloves? Otherwise, it couldn’t be that powerful."

"Huh? He’s not wearing any gloves," someone noted with surprise.

Chu Yue’s face, however, changed dramatically. She noticed a bronze ring on the black-robed man’s thumb. Engraved on it was a Cyan Dragon, so vivid it looked as if it was about to soar into the heavens.

It was the Cyan Dragon Ring. Chu Yue’s expression changed in an instant; she had studied it for months and knew it better than anything. How is that ring in his possession? Could this black-robed man be the Young Master of the Cyan Dragon Pavilion? That bastard! Her eyes instantly turned red with fury.

Just yesterday, she had been subdued and thrown out of the Cyan Dragon Pavilion. She had never suffered such a great humiliation and had sworn to get revenge. To her surprise, she ran into the Young Master of the Cyan Dragon Pavilion the very next day. With a furious roar, she charged.

"You damned bastard, die!"

Chu Yue unleashed her Meteor Fist, striking forward. The surrounding people cried out in alarm, wondering why she had suddenly attacked.

Lin Xuan’s figure flickered as he dodged the punch. He shot Chu Yue a cold glance and said, "Get lost. I don’t have time for you right now."

"You are the Young Master of the Cyan Dragon Pavilion! You stole my ring and injured me. I will have my revenge for this," Chu Yue gritted through her teeth.

Lin Xuan scoffed. "Your ring? This has always been my ring. You just happened to find it. Now, it has been returned to its rightful owner. Leave now, or don’t blame me for being discourteous."

"I’d like to see just how discourteous you can be!" Chu Yue roared, pushing her Meteor Fist to its absolute limit. Her fists transformed into a sky full of meteors that rained down on Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan simply slapped back, shattering all the meteors. The same blow struck Chu Yue across the face, sending her to the ground. A clear palm print appeared on her cheek, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Chu Yue was stunned by the blow. The crowd was dumbfounded.

My god, Chu Yue was hit! She was Chu Zhongtian’s younger sister, the little princess of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Who would dare to strike her? This black-robed man was far too arrogant!

Chu Yue screamed, "You dare hit me! I’ll fight you to the death!"

SLAP!

He slapped her again. The other side of Chu Yue’s face instantly swelled up.

Lin Xuan said coldly, "Get lost, or I’ll cripple you."

Clutching her face, Chu Yue didn’t dare to attack again. She was no match for him. However, she didn’t leave either. Her eyes burned with fury as she glared at him. "Do you dare tell me your name?"

Chu Yue swore that she would have her revenge. When her brother returned, she would have him kill this black-robed man.

However, Lin Xuan completely ignored her. He stared at the palace ahead, where he saw a large group of people walking out majestically. The man in white at the very front exuded a chilling aura. Lin Xuan’s gaze locked onto him instantly.

Seeing Lin Xuan remain silent, Chu Yue sneered, "Scared, are you? It’s too late. You dared to hit me, so my brother will definitely not let you go."

The surrounding spectators also shook their heads and sighed. They too thought the black-robed man was afraid to reveal his name. To think he would offend Chu Yue of all people. Although her strength was average, her brother, Chu Zhongtian, was formidable. If Chu Zhongtian took action, this black-robed man was doomed.

As they were discussing, the ten geniuses from Liuyun Country arrived, with Gu Linfeng among them. As soon as he came out, he saw the black-robed man. He frowned and asked, "Who might you be? State your name. I do not fight strangers."

The Ninth Prince also chimed in, "Gu Linfeng is the number one genius of Liuyun Country. Not just anyone can casually challenge him. Sir, you should state your origins first."

From the side, Chu Yue sneered, "He’s a coward. He doesn’t dare to say his own name."

The spectators buzzed with discussion. Would this black-robed man dare to show his face? Would he dare to state his name? If he did, Chu Zhongtian would surely find him later, and the consequences would be dire. But if he didn’t, he would be branded a complete coward and become a laughingstock. In that case, he wouldn’t even have the right to challenge Gu Linfeng.

"Hahahaha! As if I wouldn’t dare!" The black-robed man let out a great laugh. He threw back the hood of his cloak, his voice ringing out clearly. "I am the Champion Marquis, Lin Xuan!"
