Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 629: Peerless Twin Pride!

Lin Xuan walked out of the palace, soared into the air, and headed for the Sky Battlefield.

As soon as he appeared, the surrounding crowd exclaimed, "He’s here! Lin Xuan is here!"

In an instant, countless people looked up, and innumerable gazes fell upon Lin Xuan. The kid had finally arrived. It looked like the decisive battle was about to begin.

The crowd buzzed with excited discussion.

"Look, Lin Xuan seems so composed and full of confidence," one person commented. "Maybe he really has an impressive card up his sleeve."

"I think he’s just putting on an act," another countered. "He’s calm on the surface, but I bet he’s terrified inside."

Someone else sneered, "That’s not composure, it’s ignorance. He’s a fool who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. He has no idea what’s waiting for him."

The vast majority did not have faith in Lin Xuan. Only a small minority believed he could create another miracle.

Lin Xuan arrived at the Sky Battlefield, where he stood with his hands clasped behind his back, waiting in silence.

How should I deal with Chu Zhongtian? he wondered. Based on the information I’ve gathered, Chu Zhongtian’s strength is indeed impressive. Since he’s capable of injuring a Grandmaster, I fear ordinary methods won’t be enough to handle him.

However, Lin Xuan wasn’t particularly worried. If he were to use his full strength, he could kill a Tier 2 Grandmaster. No matter how strong Chu Zhongtian was, he wouldn’t be able to withstand that.

First, I’ll see if this Chu Zhongtian has any impressive techniques. If not, then he isn’t worthy of me using my full power.

Just as he was thinking, another figure walked out and soared into the air.

The surrounding people exclaimed once more, "Chu Zhongtian is here!"

Under the watchful eyes of the masses, Chu Zhongtian also shot into the sky and arrived in the Sky Battlefield.

Finally, he had come.

A sharp light glinted in Lin Xuan’s eyes as he stared fixedly at Chu Zhongtian.

"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time," Chu Zhongtian said, sizing Lin Xuan up. Upon confirming that Lin Xuan was truly just a Three-Star Grandmaster, he felt completely relieved. A disdainful smirk curled his lips. "A mere ant dares to challenge me. Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Today, I’ll show you what a true genius is."

Chu Zhongtian’s name was renowned throughout Great Xia. He was one of its top geniuses, while Lin Xuan was merely an up-and-comer. Though Lin Xuan was also hailed as a top-tier genius, some people had even begun calling them the Peerless Duo of Great Xia. This displeased Chu Zhongtian immensely.

In my eyes, I am a unique existence. No one can compare to me. What right does this Lin Xuan have to be mentioned in the same breath as me?

He would publicly defeat his opponent today and grind him under his heel. He wanted everyone to know that Great Xia had only one peerless genius. Everyone else was trash, and that included this Lin Xuan.

At this thought, Chu Zhongtian’s eyes blazed with a fierce light. "Kid, you think you can cultivate Dragon Dao Power and become a Dragon Warrior? Keep dreaming," he said. "Only I can become a Dragon Warrior. After I defeat you, I’ll seize your power and absorb the Heart of the Serpent. Then, I will become a Dragon Warrior. I will be the first Dragon Warrior in a thousand years!"

Lin Xuan simply laughed. "Whether you can become a Dragon Warrior in the future, I don’t know. But the first Dragon Warrior in a millennium won’t be you. It will be me, because I already am a Dragon Warrior."

"Hahahaha!" Chu Zhongtian threw his head back and laughed as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. "You’re a Dragon Warrior? Kid, you sure know how to brag."

He simply didn’t believe it. The path to becoming a Dragon Warrior had been severed; it was as difficult as ascending to heaven. For Lin Xuan to become one, he would first have to defeat him and seize his Dragon Dao Power, then absorb the Heart of the Serpent. Only then might he have a sliver of a chance.

But he’s claiming he’s already a Dragon Warrior right now? What a joke. That’s absolutely impossible!

"You’re a frog in a well; what do you understand? A true dragon stands right before you, yet you fail to perceive it," Lin Xuan snorted coldly. "It just goes to show that you have eyes but cannot see."

"What did you say?" Chu Zhongtian was thoroughly enraged. This kid was far too arrogant. His face darkened, and a palpable killing intent began to emanate from him.

The crowd below erupted in an uproar upon hearing their exchange. What was going on? Lin Xuan was a Dragon Warrior?

"What an idiot!" the Star Pavilion Master scoffed.

Master Song rolled his eyes. "There he goes, bragging again."

The Celestial King was also disdainful. His opponent was a Dragon Warrior? What a joke. There were no Dragon Warriors in this world.

Chu Yue gritted her teeth. "You despicable kid, how dare you provoke my brother! Just you wait, your end will be miserable! Go, brother, defeat him! Grind him under your feet!"

The rest of the crowd was in a similar state of shock, and none of them believed Lin Xuan. The Wangyue Pavilion Master and the others sighed in dismay. They felt that Lin Xuan was still boasting even now, and his end would likely be tragic.

The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy also shook his head with a wry smile. Lin Xuan was good at everything, but he just couldn’t seem to kick his habit of bragging. Taking a deep breath, he too soared into the sky. Looking at the two combatants on the battlefield, he prepared to announce the start of the final battle.

But at that moment, a world-shaking dragon’s roar echoed from the distance. Immediately after, a beam of golden light flew over. This golden light was a war chariot carved with the images of giant dragons. The patterns glowed, seeming so lifelike that from a distance, it looked as though ten thousand dragons had gathered.

The surrounding people were stunned by the sight. What a grand spectacle! Ten thousand dragons paving the way—who could this be?

"It’s the Emperor!"

"The Emperor has arrived!" members of the imperial family exclaimed.

The others were equally shocked to hear this. What? The imperial family had come to watch the battle too? It was unbelievable. This duel had truly captured the hearts of millions. All of Great Xia’s top factions were present, and now, even the Emperor himself had come.

The ancient war chariot tore through the void, finally stopping above the Heavenly Dao Academy. A middle-aged man wearing a Dragon Robe emerged from within. It was none other than the Emperor of Great Xia.

The crowd quickly bowed. "We greet the Emperor."

"You may all rise," the Emperor said with a wave of his hand. He then turned to look at the Sky Battlefield. Seeing the two young prodigies, he sighed. "You two are the Peerless Duo of my Great Xia. Is there no matter that can be discussed peacefully? Must you really duel?"

"I have nothing to discuss with this Lin Xuan," Chu Zhongtian’s voice rang out, showing the Emperor no deference.

Lin Xuan also stated calmly, "I have nothing to discuss with this guy either. Let’s just settle this with a fight."

"Very well," the Emperor sighed. It seemed persuasion was futile. He could only plan to intervene at the critical moment to save Lin Xuan’s life. A talent as exceptional as Lin Xuan’s could not be allowed to be crippled. In the Emperor’s heart, there was no way Lin Xuan could win this battle.

With another sigh, he looked toward the Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy and said, "Then let the final battle begin."

The Dean nodded, preparing to make the announcement. But just then, another rumbling sound came from the distant horizon. An instant later, ten thousand rays of colorful light swept over. Wherever the light passed, the heavens and earth thundered as if the world was being created anew. The bodies of the onlookers trembled. Even Kings like the Celestial King and the Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy had their expressions change drastically.

Such terrifying power. This power posed a lethal threat even to them, which was unbelievable. Who could this be? This power did not seem to belong to Great Xia. Could it be an enemy invasion?

At this thought, they tensed as if facing a formidable enemy. The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy’s expression grew grave. The Celestial King soared into the air, his power erupting from his body. The members of the other clans and sects were similarly alarmed. Was it really a powerful enemy invasion?

The Emperor, however, said, "Do not act. These are people from the Holy Land."

With that, he walked forward and called out, "I welcome the emissary from the Holy Land. It is a great honor for an emissary to visit my Great Xia."

Amidst the world-rending power, a figure emerged. He was a man in his thirties, and his aura was as deep as an ocean. Shockingly, he was another King.

The Celestial King was stunned. The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy’s pupils constricted. A King in his thirties! This was unfathomable.

The rest of the crowd was in an uproar. This person was actually from the Holy Land! Good heavens, were they dreaming? The Holy Land was an exalted existence, a sacred ground for cultivation for the entire world. It was a place countless Martial Artists dreamed of training in. But the Holy Land was too mysterious; entering it was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Some might go their entire lives without ever seeing a Martial Artist from the Holy Land, yet today, they were seeing one with their own eyes.

"You need not be so courteous. I am merely here to observe the battle," the young man from the Holy Land said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

Observe the battle? The crowd was even more astounded. They looked toward the Sky Battlefield. Could it be that the battle between Chu Zhongtian and Lin Xuan had alarmed even the Holy Land? This was utterly incredible!

Even the Celestial King and the Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy were immensely shocked. The Emperor went so far as to ask, "Is it because of the battle between these two young geniuses?"

The Holy Land emissary nodded. "That’s right. I have come for this Battle of the Twin Dragons. Furthermore, I will invite one of them to join the Holy Land."

These words sent the entire audience into a frenzy. Everyone went wild.

The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy gasped. The Celestial King’s eyes instantly turned red with envy. Even the Emperor was tremendously astonished. He knew full well how difficult it was to join the Holy Land. The sudden prospect of a direct invitation was simply incredible. He looked at the two young men on the battlefield. It seemed one of them would have the chance to enter the Holy Land and soar to new heights.

I wonder who it will be.

Others began to speculate as well.

"Who will get this chance to join the Holy Land?"

"It has to be the winner, of course."

"Only the most supreme genius can join the Holy Land."

"Then there’s no suspense. It must be Chu Zhongtian."

"That Lin Xuan is no match for Chu Zhongtian at all."

"It seems the one joining the Holy Land will be Chu Zhongtian."
