Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 358: Breakthrough! Eight-Star Martial General!

Liuyun Sword Sect.

This was the largest sect in Liuyun Country and also home to Gu Linfeng. At this moment, the Liuyun Sword Sect was furious. In their eyes, Gu Linfeng must have been careless; the Champion Marquis had only won by a stroke of luck.

"In this second duel, Gu Linfeng will definitely be the winner."

"That's for sure. He'll definitely use the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique this time."

"That's a King-rank Swordsmanship! That Champion Marquis absolutely won't be able to withstand it."

"He'll be defeated in a single strike."

"That's right! The Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique is enough to sweep away all opposition."

As the disciples of the Liuyun Sword Sect were discussing this excitedly, a voice suddenly called out from outside, "There's news from the duel in the Imperial City!"

The numerous disciples were astonished.

"What? News has arrived? Excellent!"

"Who won in the end?"

"Is there even a need to ask? It must be Gu Linfeng!"

The Sect Leader of the Liuyun Sword Sect also walked out, asking with a smile, "Did Gu Linfeng defeat the Champion Marquis in a single strike?"

「Liuyun Country. The Imperial Palace.」

An elder rushed in hurriedly, saying, "Sovereign, this is terrible!"

"What is it?" The Sovereign of Liuyun Country furrowed his brows. "What matter has made you so flustered?"

The elder said, "The result of the Imperial City duel is out."

"Oh, it's out?" The Sovereign's eyes lit up. "What's the result?"

The elder wiped the sweat from his forehead, handed over the scroll in his hand, and said, "Sovereign, please take a look."

The Sovereign of Liuyun Country opened the scroll and glanced at the message. His expression instantly turned cold and grim.

「Great Xia Country. The Pill Tower.」

An Alchemy Master rushed in quickly. "Tower Master, the result of the duel is out!"

"What's the result?" the Master of the Pill Tower asked urgently. "Did the Champion Marquis win?"

「Sword Casting Manor.」

The Manor Master stopped drinking, pacing anxiously back and forth in the main hall. Suddenly, news arrived from his subordinates.

"The result of the duel is out!"

The Manor Master hurriedly rushed over.

「The Lin Family.」

Many members of the Lin Family were waiting anxiously. Suddenly, they received news from the Imperial City and rushed to see it.

「Great Xia Country. Various locations.」

Martial Artists everywhere were getting excited as new information arrived from the Imperial City.

"It's news from the final duel!"

"I wonder who won and who lost."

"Do you think the Champion Marquis can win?"

"Finally, the news is here."

"It would be great if the Champion Marquis can win again."

"Sigh, stop dreaming. This time, Gu Linfeng is going all out. It will be very difficult for the Champion Marquis to win."

"Damn it!"

"What's wrong?"

"Hurry up and say it! The suspense is killing me!"

"Heavens, am I dreaming?"

"This... How is this possible?"

"In the rematch, Lin Xuan defeated Gu Linfeng again with a single sword strike!"

When this news broke, it shocked the world.

The Master of the Pill Tower was dumbfounded. The Master of Sword Casting Manor was stunned. The members of the Lin Family were stunned. All the Martial Artists in the world were stunned.

"By the heavens!"

"What happened?"

"Another one-strike defeat!"

"Is that real?"

"Isn't that the old news?"

"Don't tell me Lin Xuan defeated Gu Linfeng with one strike again in the rematch?"

"That's right! This was the second battle, and Lin Xuan defeated him in one strike again!"

"My god, this Lin Xuan is defying the heavens!"

"Heavens! The Champion Marquis is just too cool, isn't he?"

"Hahaha, I told you all! The Champion Marquis is the truly invincible one. You didn't believe me before, but now you do, right?"

"I believe it! I believe it now."

"I doubted the Champion Marquis before. I was wrong. I apologize to the Champion Marquis."

"I also apologize to the Champion Marquis."

"Me too!"

"I can no longer describe the Champion Marquis's strength with words. I can only say it's heaven-defying! Truly and utterly heaven-defying!"

"Lin Xuan is my idol for life!"

"Champion Marquis, I want to marry you!"

"Hahaha! Our Great Xia is the strongest! Our prodigies from Great Xia will sweep away all opposition!"

"Cheers for Lin Xuan!"

"Cheers for the Champion Marquis!"

"Cheers for Great Xia!"

Madness. At this moment, the entirety of Great Xia Country descended into a frenzy. In contrast, Liuyun Country fell completely silent.

They were utterly dumbfounded.

「Liuyun Country. The Imperial City.」

The Sovereign gazed at the news he had received, remaining silent.

「Liuyun Sword Sect.」

The disciples were frozen in place. The entire sect was as silent as a grave.

From the depths of the Sword Sect, within the grand hall, a roar erupted. Immediately after, a wave of Sword Qi swept out, piercing heaven and earth. It was accompanied by a heaven-shaking fury that surged in all directions.

Everyone was so frightened they didn't even dare to breathe. They knew this was the Sect Leader's fury.

It wasn't just the Sect Leader; many powerful experts in Liuyun Country were enraged.

Why?

Why had Gu Linfeng lost again?

And he was defeated with a single sword strike?

This was too unbelievable. How was this possible?

"How could that Champion Marquis be so strong?"

"Did he use some despicable trick to ambush Gu Linfeng again?"

"Yes, that must be it."

The powerful experts of Liuyun Country were furious and prepared to march over to demand an explanation.

But soon, more news arrived. Gu Linfeng had not been defeated unfairly. Even after using the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, he was still instantly defeated.

With this revelation, Liuyun Country was once again thrown into turmoil. Those experts also stood there, dumbfounded.

They felt a burning sensation on their faces. They had been ruthlessly slapped!

It turned out the Champion Marquis hadn't used an ambush; he had defeated Gu Linfeng fair and square!

This Champion Marquis was too strong!

At that moment, the name of the Champion Marquis, Lin Xuan, sent shockwaves through Liuyun Country!

For a single person to plunge two kingdoms into shock was a rare event indeed.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was waiting quietly in a grand hall. He was still waiting for his reward from the Sovereign.

The royal family awarded him a large quantity of cultivation resources. He happily gathered up all these treasures and prepared to take his leave.

However, the Sovereign said, "Wait a moment."

"Does the Sovereign have any further instructions?" Lin Xuan asked, cupping his fists.

The Sovereign said, "Regarding your feud with the Celestial King's Mansion, how do you plan to handle it?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback. He thought for a moment and said, "If the Celestial King's Mansion doesn't provoke me, then I naturally won't provoke them."

Lin Xuan intended to give the Sovereign face and no longer target the Celestial King's Mansion.

However, the Sovereign shook his head. "I know the Celestial King's temper. He is fiercely protective of his own."

"You killed his son, so he won't let you off easily."

"Although you are now the beacon of Great Xia and the focus of everyone's attention, so he doesn't dare to strike directly, he won't give up easily. The moment he gets an opportunity, it's highly likely he will try to kill you."

"Therefore, I plan to send you somewhere else to lie low for a while."

"You can return after things have calmed down."

Lin Xuan was stunned. "Where are you sending me?"

The Sovereign replied, "I plan to send you to the Dragon Moon Ancient Land."

"First, to lie low and avoid the trouble."

"Second, to gain some experience."

"And third, there is Dragon Dao Power there, which will be of great help to you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan's eyes widened.

Dragon Dao Power! This was the power he needed most. He asked, "Where is this Dragon Moon Valley?"

"It's a battlefield to the north, where the Great Xia Country fights against the neighboring Hidden Moon Empire."

"Go there and stay for a while."

"As you command!" Lin Xuan said, cupping his fists.

Following this, Lin Xuan stayed in the Imperial Palace, waiting to depart for the Dragon Moon Ancient Land.

After Lin Xuan left, the Grand Elder of the royal family asked the Sovereign, "Isn't this a bit too risky?"

"Even though Lin Xuan defeated Gu Linfeng, he is still a young man, and the battlefield is an exceedingly dangerous place."

"That is not a competitive spar; it is a battle of life and death. A single misstep could be fatal!"

"If Lin Xuan were to fall on the battlefield, our loss would be immense."

The Sovereign, however, said, "Rest assured. I'm just letting him see the battlefield and get a feel for it. I'm not sending him there to actually fight to the death."

"Though he is a young prodigy, he is still too young and lacks real tempering."

"This time, perhaps he can gain more experience."

"Furthermore, sending him away allows him to avoid the Celestial King's assassination attempts."

Understanding now, the Grand Elder nodded. He also began to make preparations.

「Meanwhile.」

In a certain palace, Lin Xuan remained, absorbing the treasures the Sovereign had rewarded him. Finally, his cultivation broke through once more, and he became an Eight-Star Martial General.

After the breakthrough, his strength was even greater than before.

Previously, he was invincible among Two-Star Grandmasters. Now, he had completely surpassed that level; his strength was equivalent to a Three-Star Grandmaster.

If he were to fight Gu Linfeng now, he wouldn't even need to use the Sword Control Technique. A single, ordinary punch would be enough to defeat him.

Feeling this increase in his power, Lin Xuan was overjoyed. He clenched his fists, filled with the desire to continue improving his strength. In two and a half years, he had a duel with Chu Zhongtian. He was determined to defeat him.

Perhaps this trip to the Dragon Moon Ancient Land was a great opportunity to increase his power!

「Meanwhile.」

The Celestial King had indeed not given up. After returning, he ordered his men to keep a secret watch. As soon as Lin Xuan left the Imperial City, he would personally strike and assassinate him.

He absolutely would not allow Lin Xuan to continue living
