Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 367: Escort Mission!

Lin Xuan was also joining the mission, and everyone was quite dissatisfied. However, they didn't dare say anything. After all, even Vice General Qi Li had agreed, so they could only sigh. The group quickly set out. Fortunately, they were lucky and didn't encounter any danger along the way. Two days later, they rendezvoused with the team transporting the Dragon Spirit Stones.

"It's great that you're here," a voice called out.

This new team was small, with only ten people. Their leader was also a Centurion, an elderly man with white hair.

Is an elder like him also part of the Long Ming army? Lin Xuan was somewhat curious.

Li Fu, who was standing beside him, explained, "That elder's surname is Chen. We all call him Elder Chen."

"Although Elder Chen is old, he's a seasoned veteran. He's exceptionally skilled at finding all kinds of treasures and has located quite a few Dragon Spirit Stones in recent years."

So that's how it is. Lin Xuan nodded.

He walked forward. In front of him were five large boxes, all filled with Dragon Spirit Stones. Lin Xuan went to one of the boxes, opened it, and took out a Dragon Spirit Stone to examine it.

The surrounding people were stunned, and even Elder Chen frowned slightly. Who is this young man? How rude! He looked toward Song Yan and Lu Xiu.

"This is the Champion Marquis," Song Yan introduced reluctantly.

Elder Chen was taken aback. "What? The Champion Marquis?"

This young man before me is the legendary Champion Marquis! He quickly led his men to salute. "Greetings to the Champion Marquis."

"No need for formalities." Lin Xuan waved his hand, his attention completely focused on the Dragon Spirit Stones.

A Dragon Spirit Stone was about the size of a fist. It had an irregular shape, but it contained powerful Spiritual Power and a trace of Dragon Dao Power.

However, Lin Xuan did not immediately absorb the power inside. This amount of power wasn't much; even if he absorbed all five boxes, it would only slightly increase his Dragon Power.

What I want is a real Dragon Vein. The place where Dragon Spirit Stones are found shouldn't be far from a Dragon Vein, right?

While Lin Xuan was studying the Dragon Spirit Stones, Elder Chen asked in a low voice, "Why has the Champion Marquis come?"

"He's just a young man. Isn't it too dangerous for him to be here?"

"He's a high-and-mighty Marquis. If he wants to go somewhere, how could we possibly stop him?" Song Yan said irritably.

Lu Xiu pulled on Song Yan's sleeve, signaling him to stop complaining. "The Champion Marquis is here to gain experience," he said. "Vice General Qi Li also agreed. Since it's not the battlefield, there shouldn't be much danger."

Elder Chen nodded in understanding. He said, "Then let's rest for half a day and then hurry back."

Everyone began to rest on the spot.

「On the other side.」

The Qingshan Dragon General also received a message from the Imperial City. It was news about Lin Xuan defeating Gu Linfeng, and he was incredibly shocked. He invited the other Dragon Generals over.

The Dragon Generals gathered in the hall. "Qingshan, why have you gathered us?" one of them asked.

The Qingshan Dragon General said, "It's about the Champion Marquis. It seems we have all underestimated him."

"What do you mean by that?" another Dragon General asked in confusion.

The Qingshan Dragon General took out a scroll and handed it over. "This is a message from the Imperial City. Please, take a look."

Several Dragon Generals took the scroll and glanced at it, their eyes widening in disbelief.

"What?"

"How could this be!"

"Is this for real?"

The Dragon Generals all exclaimed in shock. The scroll recorded that Lin Xuan had actually defeated Gu Linfeng. Gu Linfeng was a prodigy at the peak of the two-star level!

Doesn't this mean Lin Xuan's strength is even greater than someone at the peak of the two-star level? He's invincible among two-stars, second only to a three-star Grandmaster!

"Damn, how old is Lin Xuan? Sixteen or seventeen? And only an eight-star Martial General, yet so powerful?"

It was truly unbelievable.

"Is the information reliable?"

"Absolutely true."

"Then this Champion Marquis is too amazing. His future achievements are limitless."

"We really underestimated him."

"No wonder the Sovereign allowed him to come to our battlefield."

The Qingshan Dragon General said, "His strength isn't inferior to some of our elite warriors. I'm planning to let him join the battlefield for some training."

"Agreed." The other Dragon Generals nodded. They also felt that with Lin Xuan's strength, he indeed qualified to enter the battlefield. Although he couldn't participate in the most critical battles, engaging in some ordinary fights would be no problem, as long as his identity as the Champion Marquis wasn't discovered by the Hidden Moon Empire.

"Then I'll bring the Champion Marquis over to hear his opinion." The Qingshan Dragon General waved his hand, sending a warrior to invite Lin Xuan.

But soon, the warrior returned. "The Champion Marquis is not in the camp."

"Not in the camp? Then where is he?"

"Apparently, he went on a mission."

The Qingshan Dragon General was stunned. When did this happen? What kind of mission? Who allowed him to go?

The other Dragon Generals were also in an uproar. Although Lin Xuan's strength was greater than they had imagined, he was still only at the two-star level. This place was very dangerous. Without their careful arrangements, Lin Xuan could easily get hurt, or even perish.

The warrior continued, "This mission is under the authority of Vice General Qi Li."

"Go and bring Qi Li over!"

Shortly after, Vice General Qi Li was summoned to the hall. He saluted everyone and asked, "May I ask why I've been called?"

The Qingshan Dragon General demanded, "Why did you let the Champion Marquis go on a mission? What if there's danger? Can you bear the consequences?"

Vice General Qi Li said, "He's just on a support mission for the Dragon Spirit Stones, not going to the battlefield. That place is rather remote, so it's unlikely they'll encounter anyone from the Hidden Moon Empire. Besides, the Champion Marquis is very strong. He's no weaker than an ordinary Centurion."

"What?" Upon hearing this, the other Dragon Generals were stunned. The intelligence they had received stated that Lin Xuan was invincible among two-stars. But Centurions were three-star Grandmasters; Lin Xuan certainly couldn't compare to one.

The Qingshan Dragon General frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the Champion Marquis be on par with a Centurion?"

"It's true," Vice General Qi Li insisted. "The Champion Marquis has cultivated the Rising Dragon Fist to the sixth level. In fact, he might even be more powerful than a Centurion!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into shocked silence once again. The Dragon Generals were dumbfounded.

Did we mishear? Lin Xuan has cultivated the Rising Dragon Fist to the sixth level? This is impossible!

"Qi Li, are you sleep-talking? How dare you spout such nonsense?"

"The Champion Marquis has only been at the camp for a month. How could he possibly have cultivated the Rising Dragon Fist to the sixth level?"

"Who could reach the sixth level in a month?"

"Forget us, not even the Commander could do that!"

"Exactly! I admit the Champion Marquis has unparalleled talent, but there has to be a limit."

"Reaching the sixth level in a month is beyond human capability."

"That's something only an immortal could achieve."

None of them believed him.

Qi Li explained, "It's true! I'm not lying to you. I saw it with my own eyes."

"You must have been seeing things," the Dragon Generals retorted, simply refusing to believe it.

The Qingshan Dragon General didn't believe it either. "What foolishness!" he snapped. "Qi Li, you can't spout nonsense just to curry favor with the Champion Marquis. Go and take some men to bring him back immediately. We have other plans for the Champion Marquis."

Alright. Qi Li knew he couldn't explain it clearly. However, as long as he brought Lin Xuan back, the truth would come out. All it would take was one demonstration of the Rising Dragon Fist in front of the Dragon Generals, and they would know he hadn't been lying.

At that moment, the Dragon Generals would surely be astounded. A sense of anticipation grew within Qi Li. I can't wait to see the shocked expressions on their faces.
