Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 373: Ling Tian Emerges! Who Broke the Record?

Li Fu began to explain the course of events. His account was identical to what Lin Xuan had said. Next was Wang Hu, whose story was also the same. The other warriors were no different; they all echoed Lin Xuan's report.

The Qing Shan Dragon General frowned. Are these people all bootlicking Lin Xuan? He looked toward Song Yan and said, "You speak."

Song Yan recounted his experience, and the result was the same as Lin Xuan's.

What is going on? Is Song Yan also flattering Lin Xuan? The Qing Shan Dragon General then turned to Lu Xiu.

But as it turned out, Lu Xiu also said the same thing as Lin Xuan. Not only that, but Elder Chen's account was identical as well. Every single warrior was telling the exact same story.

The Qing Shan Dragon General's brow furrowed tightly.

Vice General Qi Li, who was standing beside him, was stunned. What is going on? Are all these people brown-nosing Lin Xuan? Or... are they actually telling the truth? Did Lin Xuan really kill three Centurions? Did he really scare off the Black Water Mysterious Snake? Damn, if this is true, this kid is about to defy the heavens!

But the Qing Shan Dragon General didn't think so. In his view, no matter how formidable Lin Xuan was, he couldn't possibly be that extraordinary. These people must have conspired to deceive him. He let out a cold snort, preparing to lose his temper.

However, Vice General Qi Li spoke up. "Dragon General, calm your anger. There's a way to verify this."

"We can have Lin Xuan demonstrate his strength," he suggested. "This way, we'll know whether they're telling the truth."

That was a good idea. The Qing Shan Dragon General nodded. As long as Lin Xuan could defeat a Centurion, what these people said should be true. His gaze fell on the Centurions like Song Yan and Lu Xiu, but he quickly frowned again. No, these people might very well hold back and pretend to be no match. I'll have to find someone else.

After a moment of thought, he asked, "How many days until the Long Ming Legion's test begins?"

Vice General Qi Li replied, "It starts in three days. Dragon General, are you suggesting the Champion Marquis participate in the test?"

"Yes, let him take the test. That way, we can get a clear measure of the Champion Marquis's strength."

If Lin Xuan could defeat a Centurion in the test, it would prove he hadn't lied; he truly was a monstrous-level genius. But if he couldn't defeat a Centurion, then he must be lying. At that point, he would have no choice but to tell the truth.

It seemed the truth would be revealed in three days. Thinking of this, the Qing Shan Dragon General waved his hand, dismissing Lin Xuan and the others.

Walking out of the hall, Song Yan said, "It seems the Dragon General doesn't believe what we said."

Lu Xiu sighed. "That's normal. I didn't believe it at first either. Unless you see it with your own eyes, I fear no one would."

Elder Chen wasn't too worried. He said, "The Champion Marquis's strength is unrivaled. He'll definitely pass the test in three days. Lord Dragon General will believe us then."

Lin Xuan asked, "What is the test?"

Lu Xiu explained, "The so-called test is our Long Ming Legion's strength assessment, held every three months. The Martial Artists of the Long Ming Legion not only fight on the battlefield but also cultivate regularly. The test is a way to see how much they have progressed. Those with strong abilities and good performance are eligible for promotion. Last time, a Warrior stood out in the test and was promoted to Centurion." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Lin Xuan understood. This was a form of competition, and competition breeds motivation. Since the Dragon General didn't believe him, he would just have to show his skills in three days.

With that settled, Lin Xuan prepared to leave.

Just then, Lu Xiu called out, "Marquis, wait."

"What is it?" Lin Xuan asked. "Is there something else?"

Lu Xiu said, "Marquis, I only made it back alive this time thanks to your intervention! Therefore, I plan to give all my military merits to you."

"Me too," Li Fu added. "I'll also give my military merits to the Marquis."

"Me too, me too," the other warriors chimed in one after another.

Finally, even Elder Chen and Song Yan spoke up. Without Lin Xuan, they would have been bitten to death by the Black Water Mysterious Snake. It was Lin Xuan who had saved their lives, and they naturally wanted to repay him. The only thing they could offer was their military merit points.

Lin Xuan initially wanted to refuse, but seeing their sincere and insistent expressions, he could only nod. "Alright, then I'll graciously accept."

Thus, Lin Xuan gained a massive amount of military merits. He used them to exchange for many cultivation resources, including a batch of Medicinal Materials and Elixirs. Afterward, Lin Xuan returned to his palace and began cultivating.

He consumed the Elixirs to boost his cultivation. Finally, his cultivation level advanced again, reaching the late stage of the Eight-Star Martial General realm. His power also increased further, now equivalent to the late stage of a Three-Star Grandmaster, which was considerably stronger than before.

Not bad! Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction, but he soon clenched his fists again. It's still not enough. I need to become stronger.

His opponent was Chu Zhongtian, who was also an extraordinary genius. To surpass Chu Zhongtian, he needed even greater power. He was determined to obtain the power of the Candle Dragon in the Dragon Moon Ancient Land.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Today, the Long Ming Legion was bustling with activity because it was the day of the test. A Warrior might just display exceptional skill, become a Centurion, and rise to fame.

Lin Xuan walked out of his palace, where Li Fu was already waiting. He led Lin Xuan toward the training field where the test would be held.

Meanwhile, in another part of the camp, the doors of another palace slowly opened, and a tall figure emerged. He was a young man wearing Battle Armor, looking exceptionally imposing. His eyes were as sharp as lightning. He strode out of the palace and headed toward the training field. His appearance immediately attracted the attention of the other warriors.

Someone exclaimed, "It's Duan Lingtian!"

"Duan Lingtian has finally come out!"

The surrounding warriors quickly rushed over. As the news spread, the entire camp erupted in an uproar. Duan Lingtian was the number one genius of their Long Ming Legion. Though only in his twenties, he was already a Three-Star Grandmaster. Such strength made him a top prodigy not just in the Long Ming Legion, but in all of Great Xia.

Not only were the warriors excited, but even the Centurions were paying close attention.

One Centurion remarked, "Look at Duan Lingtian's aura. It seems to have strengthened again."

"He was at the early stage of a Three-Star Grandmaster before. I feel his aura is a lot stronger this time. He's probably reached the mid-stage, right?"

"He broke through? Damn, then ordinary Centurions are no longer his match!"

"How old is he? Just in his twenties, and already so formidable?"

"As expected of the number one genius."

A crowd of warriors quickly gathered around Duan Lingtian. These warriors all admired the strong, and a young, powerful expert like Duan Lingtian was nothing short of an idol in their hearts. Feeling the potent aura emanating from him, they were extremely excited.

"Ling Tian, did you break through?"

"Ling Tian, you're finally out!"

"You'll surely shine in this test and sweep the competition, right?"

"I bet even the Centurions aren't your match anymore."

"By the way, congratulations, Ling Tian! You've broken the Dragon Power Stele's record again!"

A chorus of congratulatory voices rang out.

Duan Lingtian was taken aback. "What record?"

The surrounding warriors explained, "The record on the Dragon Power Stele! It's now 108 Dragon Scales. Ling Tian, wasn't it you who broke it?"

Duan Lingtian was stunned. What? One hundred and eight Dragon Scales? Someone surpassed me! I only managed one hundred and three Dragon Scales before. Who is it? Who on earth could it be?

With this thought, he quickly headed toward the testing hall. Soon, he arrived before the Dragon Power Stele. As he looked at the leaderboard beside it, his expression grew serious.

He was indeed ranked second now. The number one achievement was truly 108 Dragon Scales, but the top spot was anonymous.

Duan Lingtian had been in closed-door cultivation during this time, so this record wasn't his.

Who on earth could have surpassed him?
