Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 409: Seizing the Anomalous Fire!

More and more people began paying attention to the situation at the Heavenly Dao Academy. In the end, even the four major sects and three great families were watching.

"I just came out of seclusion. Did the Champion Marquis do something earth-shattering again?" Jian Wushuang exclaimed.

Wan Tianming of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect said, "It must be related to alchemy; otherwise, the Dan King wouldn’t have gone to the Heavenly Dao Academy."

"Alchemy?" Bei Chen from the North Star Sect asked curiously, "Could it be that the Champion Marquis’s Alchemy Technique has improved again?"

"The Dan King doesn’t want to take the Champion Marquis as his disciple, does he?"

Hearing this speculation, the crowd gasped in amazement again. Lin Xuan’s Martial Dao was already heaven-defying. Was he going to soar in the Alchemy Dao as well? If he took the Dan King as his master, it wouldn’t be long before his alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds.

As expected of the Champion Marquis, everyone was incredibly envious. Some even believed that the Champion Marquis was highly likely to become the next Dan King.

Soon, a disciple from the Heavenly Dao Academy came out to explain. "You’ve all guessed wrong. The Dan King didn’t come here to take Lin Xuan as a disciple."

"Then why is he here?"

"Hurry up and say it! The suspense is killing me!" the martial artists from the various great families and sects urged frantically.

"Because of an Anomalous Fire!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The disciple from the Heavenly Dao Academy dropped the shocking news.

What? An Anomalous Fire!

At these words, all the great families and sects were stunned.

Jian Wushuang sucked in a cold breath. "Damn, the Dan King isn’t planning to seize the Anomalous Fire, is he?"

Wan Tianming was utterly shocked. "An Anomalous Fire... that’s the most supreme type of flame. Even the Dan King doesn’t have one. Is he really going to make a move to snatch it?"

Bei Ming’s scalp prickled. This is madness.

Although the Dan King was immensely powerful, Lin Xuan was no pushover. Not to mention, Lin Xuan was a genius of the Heavenly Dao Academy; if the Dan King made a move, the academy wouldn’t stand for it. Lin Xuan was also the Champion Marquis of the Great Xia Country, General Long Ming, and the hope of the entire nation! The imperial family wouldn’t agree to it either.

Could the Dan King be planning to go to war with the Heavenly Dao Academy? Was he prepared to make an enemy of the Great Xia’s imperial family?

"That’s not it," another disciple from the Heavenly Dao Academy stepped forward. "You’ve guessed wrong again."

"Ah, we guessed wrong?"

"Then what in the world is going on?"

"Please, just tell us already!"

The members of the great families and sects were burning with curiosity.

In the end, it was the Wangyue Pavilion Master who came out and explained the situation. Everyone was flabbergasted when they heard his explanation. In that moment, the Great Xia Country fell into a stunned silence. Everyone was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Lin Xuan had actually obtained a second Anomalous Fire! What the Dan King wanted was the very one Lin Xuan had just acquired: the Blue Lotus Heart Fire!

Jian Wushuang was dumbfounded.

Wan Tianming was dumbfounded.

Bei Ling was dumbfounded.

The Celestial Sword Sect was dumbfounded.

The Ten Thousand Flames Sect was dumbfounded.

The four major sects were dumbfounded.

The three great families were dumbfounded.

The entire world was dumbfounded!

"Holy shit!"

"Is Lin Xuan truly a Child of Fate?"

"First, he found the key to the Candle Dragon Vein and took control of it."

"Now he’s found a second Anomalous Fire and successfully taken it away!"

"This is simply unbelievable!"

"This is truly heaven-defying!"

"He is absolutely the Child of Fate! Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve all this."

The Dan King was famous enough, wasn’t he? He was the strongest Alchemy Master in the Great Xia Country, a legendary figure looked up to by countless people. But even someone as incredible as him didn’t possess an Anomalous Fire.

And Lin Xuan? A seventeen-year-old youth now possessed two of them!

What incredible luck! It was so heaven-defying it was ridiculous! No wonder even the Dan King himself had to make an appearance.

After a brief moment of shock, the crowd erupted, their voices roaring like a landslide and a tsunami. They had gone completely wild. These roars of shock continued for a long time before gradually subsiding.

Then, they began to discuss excitedly, "Do you think Lin Xuan will hand over the second Anomalous Fire?"

"It’s such a precious treasure. Of course he won’t hand it over."

"Yeah, if it were me, I wouldn’t give it up even if it cost me my life."

"I wouldn’t trade it no matter how many treasures the Dan King offered."

"This just shows how little you understand," an Alchemy Master sneered. "Lin Xuan will definitely hand over the second Anomalous Fire."

"Why? The Dan King might be powerful, but Lin Xuan is no slouch either."

"Lin Xuan has powerful backers. The Dan King wouldn’t dare to seize it by force, nor can he threaten him."

"Exactly! What makes you so sure?"

"It’s obvious you don’t pay attention to Anomalous Fires. Since you aren’t Alchemy Masters, it’s normal that you wouldn’t know. Let me tell you. In our Alchemy Realm, there is a legend that two Anomalous Fires are incompatible. This means that no matter how lucky or powerful a person is, they can only ever fuse with one Anomalous Fire in their entire lifetime. It’s impossible to fuse with a second one. Attempting to forcibly fuse them would cause the two Anomalous Fires to clash, reducing the Alchemy Master to ashes. Lin Xuan has already fused with one Anomalous Fire, so he can’t fuse with this second one. Holding onto it is useless, so he will definitely trade it away. What I’m curious about now is what price the Dan King will offer to acquire this second Anomalous Fire."

What? So that was it! The saying that two Anomalous Fires are incompatible actually existed. Looking at it this way, Lin Xuan would certainly trade his second Anomalous Fire.

"Damn, now I’m really curious what kind of offer the Dan King will make."

Anomalous Fires were so unbelievably rare and powerful. Exchanging for one would require a treasure of heavenly proportions. At this thought, the various families and sects of the Great Xia Country grew excited once more. They all wanted to know what kind of treasure the Dan King would produce.

「Meanwhile.」

The Celestial King learned of the situation. He immediately departed for the Heavenly Dao Academy. Soon, the Celestial King descended upon the campus. Another King had arrived, his powerful aura suppressing everything in all directions.

The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy cried out in alarm.

"Damn, another King has arrived!"

"It’s the Celestial King!"

"Why is he here?"

"Is he also after the Anomalous Fire?"

The disciples burst into a flurry of discussion.

Even the Dean was stunned. He was no stranger to the Celestial King. The Celestial King held a grudge against Lin Xuan. Could his arrival at this time mean he was here to cause trouble? At this thought, the Dean’s expression turned wary.

The Dean asked, "What business brings the Celestial King here?"

"I’ve come for the Anomalous Fire," the Celestial King said coldly.

The Dean frowned slightly upon hearing this. He really is here for Lin Xuan.

The Dean said, "The Anomalous Fire is in Lin Xuan’s possession. Who he wishes to trade it with is his own choice. The Celestial King may offer a trade, but he may not use force. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao Academy will not consent. I imagine the Sovereign would not agree either."

"Trade?" The Celestial King snorted coldly. "This Blue Lotus Heart Fire originally belonged to me. What is there to exchange? I am simply taking back what is mine!"

His voice boomed, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The people of the Heavenly Dao Academy were dumbfounded. Damn, he’s clearly here to cause trouble!

Many disciples were instantly incensed. "What? Your property?"

"Pah! How shameless! So what if you’re the Celestial King? You can’t just twist right and wrong!"

"Exactly! What gives you the right to say the Blue Lotus Heart Fire is yours?"

Facing the crowd’s accusations, the Celestial King gritted his teeth. "That Flame Mountain is the territory of my Celestial King’s estate! The Anomalous Fire was inside Flame Mountain, so naturally, it is my property. Now that it has been stolen, I must of course take it back! The Anomalous Fire must be returned to its rightful owner!"

By the end, the Celestial King’s voice grew louder and louder, booming like thunder across the land.

The people at the Heavenly Dao Academy felt their scalps tingle. It’s over. The Celestial King is really here to seize the Anomalous Fire.

Everyone grew tense.

Chu Yue grew excited. Perfect! Lin Xuan has thoroughly offended the Celestial King this time. The Celestial King will never spare him. It would be best if he killed Lin Xuan with a single slap!

The Dean’s expression turned grim, regarding the Celestial King as a formidable enemy. He would absolutely not let the Celestial King harm Lin Xuan. He prepared to intercept him.

Just as everyone thought the Celestial King was about to make a move on Lin Xuan, he instead turned and glared at the Dan King.

The Celestial King gritted his teeth and demanded, "Dan King, hand over the Anomalous Fire!"
