Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 255: For You? You’re Not Worthy!

Wan Tianming, Jian Wushuang, and the others all shook their heads, sneering. They simply didn’t believe Lin Xuan’s words. In fact, they felt he was underestimating them. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Hmph. Once we meet in the ring, we’ll teach this arrogant brat who doesn’t know his place a lesson."

Chu Yue laughed so hard she bent over, tears nearly streaming from her eyes.

"Lin Xuan, you’re really something else," she gasped. "Don’t think you can be so arrogant just because you broke a record. You’re still leagues behind the first echelon."

"Do you even know how strong the first echelon is? To be honest, they could kill you in an instant."

"I could kill you in an instant, too!"

Lin Xuan chuckled. "You’re so ignorant, just a frog in a well. You have no idea of my true strength.

"You also have no idea how powerful a true genius can be.

"Is fighting across a gap of six realms that difficult? I think it’s perfectly normal.

"Don’t look at me with your limited vision. I am an existence beyond your imagination.

"The first echelon? They are nothing. They aren’t worthy of being my opponents.

"Your brother might barely qualify as an opponent,

"but my true rivals are above the nine heavens!

"In the future, I am destined to become a Great Emperor! My opponents will be Emperor Level existences, the immortals from other worlds!"

Lin Xuan pointed a finger toward the sky, his arrogance boundless. At that moment, he seemed like a Young Emperor in the making, completely unstoppable.

The people around were stunned into a terrifying silence. Even the members of the distant families and sects were left in shock. In that daze, it was as if they were looking at a genuine Young Emperor.

They had never expected Lin Xuan’s goal to be so lofty, his ambition so immense, that he would aspire to become a Great Emperor!

Great Emperor! Those two words were enough to shake heaven and earth, sweeping across the eight wildernesses. It signified the strongest existence between heaven and earth!

Every Great Emperor was a supreme being who reigned throughout the ages, a god-like entity. The fact that Lin Xuan wanted to become a Great Emperor was truly shocking!

"You? Become a Great Emperor?" Chu Yue sneered. The others snapped out of their stupor and roared with laughter. They felt that this time, Lin Xuan’s boasting had reached the heavens.

Becoming a Great Emperor was exceedingly difficult; perhaps not even one would appear in ten thousand ages. It was said that one might not even emerge in ten thousand years. Even if Lin Xuan’s talent defied the heavens, it was impossible for him to become a Great Emperor.

Faced with their ridicule, Lin Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back and declared proudly, "How could a swarm of ants understand the ambitions of a true dragon?"

"What did you say?"

The surrounding crowd erupted in fury.

How dare he call them ants! Despicable!

They were utterly enraged, having never encountered someone so arrogant. They glared at Lin Xuan, their killing intent palpable, but he paid them no mind.

As both sides faced off, an elder from the imperial family came to mediate. "Everyone, let’s proceed with the ranking tournament first."

Hmph. The people from the other families and sects gave a final cold snort before dispersing.

The people from the Star Pavilion, however, were not willing to let it go. The Star Pavilion Master said, "I don’t care if that kid is boasting or not. The Dragon Claw Stone Slab is extremely important. It concerns the future and honor of our Heavenly Dao Academy.

"It’s best if he hands it over. Giving it to Chu Yue is the most appropriate course of action."

Lin Xuan laughed coldly. "You want me to hand over the Dragon Claw Stone Slab? Fine. As long as you present enough treasures, I’ll even sell it to you. The question is, can you afford it?"

Hearing this, the Star Pavilion Master’s expression soured, and the others fell silent. The Dragon Claw Stone Slab was incredibly precious, a priceless treasure. How could they possibly afford it? The entire Heavenly Dao Academy might be able to, but the Star Pavilion alone certainly could not. Even if they could, they were unwilling to pay such a price.

The Star Pavilion Master stated coldly, "Lin Xuan, aren’t you being a bit too mercenary? You are a member of the Heavenly Dao Academy. There is no need for us to purchase your belongings. For the glory of the Heavenly Dao Academy, you should offer it up willingly. Are you unwilling to make even this small sacrifice?"

Lin Xuan laughed. "Aren’t you also a member of the Heavenly Dao Academy? Is Chu Yue not a member as well? Well, I’ve taken a fancy to Chu Yue’s Star Battle Robe and Seven-Star Treasure Tower. Give me those two items, and my strength will increase tremendously. How about it? For the sake of the Heavenly Dao Academy, you should give those two treasures to me.

"Oh, and Star Pavilion Master, that accessory you’re wearing is quite nice too. Why not give it to me as well? With it, my attack power would increase tremendously."

Lin Xuan had fiercely turned their own logic back against them.

"Outrageous!" the Star Pavilion Master roared instantly.

Chu Yue gritted her teeth. "Are you kidding? Why should I give them to you?"

Lin Xuan sneered, "What, you’re reluctant? You talk a big game about doing things for the Heavenly Dao Academy, so why are you so unwilling when it’s your turn to contribute? Could it be that you’re not willing to sacrifice for the Academy? I never took you for that kind of person."

Chu Yue’s body trembled with rage, but she found herself unable to offer a rebuttal.

The Star Pavilion Master’s face turned green. He had been hoisted by his own petard, and it infuriated him. He shot Lin Xuan a fierce glare before turning to the Head of the Heavenly Dao Academy. "Academy Head, I’ll leave the decision to you!"

Everyone turned to look at the Academy Head, as did Lin Xuan.

He said, "Academy Head, if Chu Yue wants it, then the Star Pavilion must offer treasures of equivalent value in exchange. Otherwise, I will not hand the Dragon Claw Stone Slab over to them. As for the glory of the Heavenly Dao Academy, I’ve already said it: I will be the one to protect it. This year, first place on the Hidden Dragon Chart will once again belong to our Heavenly Dao Academy. If I fail, I am willing to accept any punishment."

What?

At his words, everyone’s expression changed.

The people from Wangyue Pavilion quickly tried to interject. "Don’t speak so carelessly!"

The Wangyue Pavilion Master cupped his fists and said, "Academy Head, Lin Xuan is young and reckless. He’s only joking, please pay him no mind."

"Pavilion Master, I’m serious."

"You, shut up!" The Wangyue Pavilion Master wished he could clamp a hand over Lin Xuan’s mouth to stop him from talking. What is this nonsense you’re spouting? Do you really think you can take first place? If you fail, the people from Star Pavilion certainly won’t let this go. They’ll have a hundred different ways to torture you!

Hearing this, the eyes of the Star Pavilion members lit up. The Star Pavilion Master said, "Alright, you said it yourself. If you don’t take first place, don’t blame me for being discourteous."

"Yes, I said it," Lin Xuan nodded nonchalantly. He then turned and walked back to the rest area, paying no more attention to the situation.

Although the Star Pavilion Master had failed to acquire the Dragon Claw Stone Slab, he had managed to secure a bet with Lin Xuan. He said to his followers, "Lin Xuan definitely won’t get first place. When he fails, we can teach him a proper lesson. We’ll take the opportunity to expel him from the Heavenly Dao Academy, and then we can finally kill him."

Chu Yue was somewhat excited, but also a little regretful. What a pity I didn’t get my hands on the Dragon Claw Stone Slab. Otherwise, the championship would have surely been mine.

「Half a day later, Lin Xuan took the stage once more.」

The crowd cried out in surprise. They didn’t know who his opponent would be this time. Lin Xuan’s previous performance had defied all expectations, so they eagerly awaited his next move.

At that moment, the runes under Shangguan Hao’s feet also lit up.

Everyone was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "Is it another internal battle for the Heavenly Dao Academy? We’re in for a good show!"

They all knew now that there was bad blood between the Star Pavilion and Lin Xuan. Shangguan Hao was a prodigy of the Star Pavilion, and he would certainly not hold back. He might even use brutal tactics from the very start.

They wondered if Lin Xuan could withstand the assault this time. After all, Shangguan Hao’s strength ranked within the top five of the second echelon!

Excellent! Shangguan Hao was thrilled. Finally, I can take care of this brat! I’ll make him kneel and admit defeat in front of everyone! I’ll make him lose all face!
