Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Defying the Crowd! Far Too Arrogant!

Feeling Mo Feng’s killing intent, Lin Xuan frowned. He didn’t know the man, so why was this person directing such malice at him? It didn’t matter, though. If the man dared to make a move, Lin Xuan would simply destroy him. Although he no longer had the Ancient Trial Tower, he still possessed the Nine Heavens Spirit Dragon Sword and the Snake King. His trump cards remained incredibly formidable. Anyone who dared to attack him would face a catastrophic end.

After that, more prodigies began to arrive, all of them renowned geniuses from Dragon Island.

The Wu Family arrived. As a first-class family, they had sent a thirty-year-old man named Wu Chen. He was also a seven-star Grandmaster, and his cultivation had reached the late seven-star stage.

Besides him, there was another first-class power, the Fire Dragon Sect. This sect was in no way weaker than the Wu Family. From the Fire Dragon Sect came a top-tier prodigy named Huo Yun’er, who was also a seven-star Grandmaster. In addition, several other young seven-star Grandmasters appeared, each one a distinguished figure with an extraordinary air.

The surrounding crowd was left dumbfounded.

"Damn, are all the top geniuses gathering here?"

"This is a real eye-opener."

Normally, just catching a glimpse of these geniuses was as difficult as climbing to the heavens. It was shocking to see so many of them gathering at once.

When the members of the Ye Family saw this, their faces fell. They had previously considered letting Ye Qingwu, Ye Fei, and Ye Tian try their luck, but they immediately abandoned that idea. Ye Qingwu was a two-star Grandmaster, while Ye Fei and Ye Tian were only four-star Grandmasters. They were leagues below these newcomers. It was best to forget it. The Ye Family’s strength was still far too lacking, and they couldn’t possibly compare to these first-class families. Not to mention, with prodigies from the True Dragon Sect present, any disciple from the Ye Family would just be courting death by entering.

However, Lin Xuan had no intention of backing down. No matter how many people come, in the end, only I can obtain the Fire Dragon Pearl. Even if a King arrived, they wouldn’t be able to snatch it from me, let alone these seven-star Grandmasters.

Seeing Lin Xuan’s eager expression, Madam Ye approached him and advised, "Young Master Lin, are you planning to go in?"

Lin Xuan nodded. "That’s the idea."

"Young Master Lin, it’s better if you don’t," Madam Ye said with worry in her voice. "Although you are the Young Emperor and can fight across seven cultivation levels, there are far too many experts this time. Those people are all seven-star Grandmasters, and there are even experts at the late seven-star stage. I’m afraid you’ll be no match for them!"

Lin Xuan simply smiled. "Madam Ye, rest assured. These people are no match for me. Even if they all joined forces, they couldn’t threaten me."

His voice wasn’t loud, but everyone present was an expert, and they all heard him clearly. They were instantly stunned.

"Damn, who is that? So arrogant!"

They turned to look, and upon discovering the speaker was Lin Xuan, they gasped.

"It’s him, the Young Emperor! He came too!"

"Well, if it’s him, I guess he has the right to be arrogant."

"I wonder who’s stronger, the Young Emperor or the other seven-star geniuses?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, but the young prodigies who had just arrived simply frowned. Wu Chen, Huo Yun’er, and the others looked at Lin Xuan with open hostility. Mo Feng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, an expression of pure contempt on his face. What Young Emperor? I don’t give a damn about him. The moment I make a move, this Lin Xuan will be on his knees before me.

He spoke coldly, "You can be arrogant on the Ye Family’s territory, protected by their Divine Tower. But what right do you have to be arrogant here? You think you can look down on everyone? Dream on!"

Hearing this, the others began to murmur amongst themselves. They had heard many rumors about Lin Xuan and the Ye Family recently, and they had ultimately learned that the Ye Family’s tower couldn’t be moved from their territory. While Lin Xuan could fight across seven levels, Mo Feng and the others were also top prodigies. It was doubtful that Lin Xuan could truly sweep through everyone here.

Lin Xuan glanced at Mo Feng and said dismissively, "What would a frog at the bottom of a well like you know?"

"What did you say?" Mo Feng instantly flared up. He, a peerless prodigy of the True Dragon Sect, had just been called a frog in a well. How detestable! He glared fiercely at Lin Xuan, a world-shaking power erupting from him as if he was about to annihilate Lin Xuan on the spot.

"Young Master Lin, please say a little less," Madam Ye and the others said, their hearts pounding in panic. This guy was too reckless! How could he dare to offend a genius from the True Dragon Sect? His talent was undeniable, but he was just a one-star Grandmaster; he had no right to look down on all these heroes. History was filled with brilliant, peerless prodigies who never reached their full potential because their arrogance led to them being killed off early. They were genuinely worried that Lin Xuan might be eliminated by an expert from the True Dragon Sect.

"Young Master Lin, it’s better if you don’t go in this time," Madam Ye urged.

The Grand Elder also chimed in, "Indeed, Young Master Lin. Your talent is unparalleled, but you are still too young. It wouldn’t be too late to venture out and train after you’ve grown stronger."

"Don’t worry. They can’t do anything to me." After speaking, Lin Xuan’s figure flickered, and he became the first to dash into the tree hole. His form was swallowed by the black void and vanished.

Madam Ye stomped her foot in frustration, while the Grand Elder sighed repeatedly. With such arrogance, Lin Xuan was bound to suffer a great loss.

"An ignorant fool who doesn’t know his own limits," Wu Chen snorted coldly before also walking into the tree hole.

Huo Yun’er sneered. "I’m eager to see just how strong this Young Emperor really is." If she encountered Lin Xuan, she would definitely move to suppress him.

As for Mo Feng, he was now determined to personally kill Lin Xuan inside the Ancient Relic.

Following them, Wu Chen, Huo Yun’er, and the other prodigies entered the tree hole one after another. Mo Feng waved his hand to his followers. "Let’s go." Leading Lin Bahuang and the other geniuses of the True Dragon Sect, he too entered the tree hole.

One figure after another rushed in, while the remaining elders and ancestors waited outside, wondering who would manage to obtain the Fire Dragon Pearl this time.

「In the distance.」

Fang Cangsong grew excited as he watched this unfold. He waited, all the while healing his wounds and recovering his strength. He had to recover quickly. When they came out, he would snatch the Fire Spirit Pearl, no matter who had it. In the end, the Fire Spirit Pearl would be his.

***

Lin Xuan was the first to enter the black hole. Upon entering, he felt himself enveloped by spatial power. The world spun around him, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar space. This was indeed an Ancient Relic, filled with an ancient and desolate aura. It seemed no one had been here for many years.

As Lin Xuan looked around, his eyes lit up. Ahead of him was a Spirit Medicine Garden, filled with countless Spirit Medicines. Some were extremely precious, and others were varieties that had long gone extinct in the outside world. Lin Xuan hurried over.

Soon, the other geniuses began to arrive. When they saw the garden brimming with Spirit Medicines, their eyes gleamed, and they rushed forward. They quickly spotted a figure moving skillfully within the garden, having already collected a large number of Spirit Medicines. Their eyes instantly turned red with fury. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Damn it! Stop!"

They surged forward and surrounded the figure, only to discover that it was Lin Xuan.

"It’s you."

"Kid, so what if you’re the Young Emperor? You can’t just monopolize all the treasures!"

"Hand over the Spirit Medicines!"

Lin Xuan glanced at them and said coolly, "If you want these treasures, you’ll have to prove you’re strong enough."

"Don’t be arrogant, kid! This isn’t the Ye Family’s territory, and there’s no Divine Tower to protect you here."

"We won’t play by any rules or fight you one-on-one."

"With so many of us joining forces, do you really think we can’t handle you?"

"Exactly! So what if you’re the Young Emperor?"

"No matter how strong you are, you can’t sweep through the whole world!"

"Everyone, attack together!"

As they spoke, more than a dozen young prodigies launched themselves at Lin Xuan. A terrifying storm of Martial Arts techniques descended from all directions, completely enveloping him.

"Hahahaha!" they sneered coldly.

"No matter how strong this kid is, he’s just one person. He can’t defeat all of us."

"That’s right, two fists can’t beat four hands. If our attacks land, he’ll surely die."

"He might have had a chance to live if he used his speed to dodge."

"But he’s actually daring to face our Martial Arts head-on. How laughable!"

"Do you think you’re a Dragon Warrior, trying to block this with your Physique? What a fool!"
