Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 366: The Deputy General Is Stunned!

Vice General Qi Li sighed. "Champion Marquis, have you been led astray by Li Fu? That man is such a braggart. He claimed you mastered the Rising Dragon Fist in a day and reached the sixth level.

"For that, I gave him thirty military lashes. I can't believe he still hasn't learned his lesson.

"Marquis, you must have been influenced by him. Don't worry, I'll properly discipline him this time with one hundred lashes."

Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. So that's why Li Fu has been walking with a limp. He was given thirty military lashes.

He shook his head and said, "Vice General Qi Li, you're mistaken. I'm not bragging, and neither is Li Fu. I really did master the Rising Dragon Fist in one day and reached the sixth level."

Vice General Qi Li was speechless. And he says he isn't bragging? His boasts are reaching the heavens!

"If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate the Fist Technique in front of everyone," Lin Xuan offered.

Vice General Qi Li was flabbergasted. Is he serious? There's no way Lin Xuan could master the Rising Dragon Fist in a day. If he demonstrates it publicly, his bluff will be called, and it will be humiliating for him.

But Lin Xuan said confidently, "Of course, I'm sure. However, if I really have reached the sixth level of the Rising Dragon Fist, you must agree to let me participate in this mission. How about it?"

"And what if you haven't reached the sixth level?"

"Then I'll give up on the mission and stay obediently in the camp."

"Deal," Vice General Qi Li agreed.

He didn't believe Lin Xuan could do it. Forget one day; even a month wouldn't be enough for him. He probably couldn't even do it in a year!

Without another word, Lin Xuan immediately began performing the Rising Dragon Fist. His technique was incredibly fierce, each punch landing like a dragon's strike.

At first, Vice General Qi Li was unconcerned, but his expression gradually grew solemn. Then, his eyes widened in disbelief. By the end, they looked like they were about to pop out of his head. He stood there, completely frozen in place.

Good heavens, what did I just witness! Lin Xuan really has reached the sixth level of the Rising Dragon Fist! This... this is unbelievable!

Even after Lin Xuan finished the technique, Vice General Qi Li remained there, motionless as a statue.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan smiled. "Well? I did it, didn't I?"

Vice General Qi Li came back to his senses, swallowed hard, and asked, "Champion Marquis, have you practiced the Rising Dragon Fist before?"

"No. I never practiced it before coming to the camp. Besides, didn't you say the later levels of the Rising Dragon Fist must be exchanged for with military merits? I never had access to it before."

Vice General Qi Li nodded. That was indeed true, which made it all the more incredible. He had only demonstrated it once, and Lin Xuan had mastered it!

Holy hell, that's just heaven-defying! Vice General Qi Li was utterly dumbfounded. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it for the life of him. It's outrageous. Simply the stuff of myths and legends!

"So, can I go now?" Lin Xuan asked.

Vice General Qi Li thought for a moment, then nodded. "Yes." Since he had already agreed, he couldn't go back on his word. The worst-case scenario was he would just assign more men to protect Lin Xuan. After all, this wasn't the battlefield, so the danger shouldn't be too great.

With that in mind, Vice General Qi Li said, "Marquis, go back and rest. Assemble here in three days."

Lin Xuan smiled, satisfied. Before he left, however, he added, "By the way, Vice General Qi Li, you should stop targeting Li Fu. He wasn't bragging."

"I know. I misunderstood him," Vice General Qi Li sighed. "I will make it up to him."

Previously, when Li Fu claimed Lin Xuan had mastered it in a day, he hadn't believed it at all because it sounded too far-fetched. He had assumed Li Fu was bragging. But now it was clear that wasn't the case at all. Li Fu hadn't been bragging; Lin Xuan's talent simply defied all imagination.

After Lin Xuan left, Vice General Qi Li took a bottle of Elixir and a Spiritual Artifact and went to find Li Fu.

"Li Fu, I misunderstood you before and made you take thirty lashes. This is some compensation for you," Vice General Qi Li said.

Li Fu was stunned and flattered. He was just a lowly Warrior, while Vice General Qi Li was a high-ranking figure. He would never come to apologize, even if he made a mistake.

It must be because of the Champion Marquis. At that thought, Li Fu felt an even deeper sense of gratitude toward Lin Xuan.

「Three days later.」

Dozens of people gathered in the main camp. They were all reinforcements for the Dragon Spirit Stone mission. Among them was Wang Hu, as well as two Centurions. One was a tall, thin man named Song Yan. The other was a burly man named Lu Xiu.

Everyone was buzzing with excitement. Completing this mission would earn them a large amount of military merits, which they could then exchange for Elixirs and Martial Arts.

Just then, someone exclaimed, "The Champion Marquis is here!"

Everyone turned to see Lin Xuan and Li Fu arriving together.

"What are they doing here?"

"Don't tell me they're joining the mission too?"

"You've got to be kidding."

"Considering the Champion Marquis's status, wouldn't it be too risky for him to join?"

As Lin Xuan approached, they all bowed in greeting. "Greetings, Champion Marquis."

"No need for formalities," Lin Xuan said with a wave of his hand.

"Champion Marquis, I wonder what brings you here. Are you looking for Vice General Qi Li?" Centurion Song Yan asked.

"Oh, I'm here to join the mission," Lin Xuan replied.

Song Yan froze. The others gasped. He really was here to join the mission! This was incredible. The Champion Marquis's strength wasn't great; if he were to be injured during the mission, who could possibly bear that responsibility?

Song Yan's brows furrowed tightly. Just as he was about to say something, Vice General Qi Li stepped out. He first saluted Lin Xuan, then looked at the assembled crowd. "Everyone's here. Let's set out."

"Is the Champion Marquis really going?" Song Yan asked.

"Yes, the Champion Marquis is also participating in this mission. I've approved it," Vice General Qi Li stated. "You are all to protect the Champion Marquis."

The crowd erupted in an uproar. This is ridiculous! Is Vice General Qi Li out of his mind? How could he dare let the Champion Marquis go? Isn't he afraid the Champion Marquis will be injured or even killed? It must be that the Champion Marquis insisted on going, and the Vice General had no choice but to agree. Sigh, the Champion Marquis really is a handful.

Now they had to fend off Demon Beasts while also looking after the Champion Marquis. The pressure suddenly felt immense.

Lin Xuan said, "You don't need to look after me. I can handle myself."

The strongest members of the team were the two Centurions, Song Yan and Lu Xiu, who were both early-stage three-star Grandmasters. Lin Xuan's true strength was at the mid-stage of the three-star Grandmaster realm, making him even stronger than them. He naturally didn't need their care.

Oh great, the Champion Marquis is bragging again, the crowd thought, utterly speechless. Though they didn't dare say anything, they were all complaining internally. You don't need our care? You're just a pitiful eight-star Martial General. Without our protection, you couldn't take a single step!
