Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 603: Obtaining the Golden Dragon Pearl!

Startled by so many eyes fixed on her, Tang Rou said, "Why are you all looking at me? I wasn’t the one who attacked."

"If you didn’t, then who did?" one of the elders roared furiously. "There were only the three of you on the mountain. If it wasn’t you, don’t tell me it was Lin Xuan?"

Tang Rou sighed. "You’re actually right. It really was Lin Xuan."

"Nonsense! Do you take us for fools?" the elders raged.

The Sect Leader’s face darkened. "Clan Leader Tang, you are far too impudent," he said coldly. "Do you really think our True Dragon Sect is so easily bullied? Today, you will learn the consequences of offending us."

They simply refused to believe it. In their eyes, Lin Xuan was a mere ant. How could he possibly injure Jian Wushuang? They concluded that Tang Rou was clearly lying, which they found despicable. The Sect Leader prepared to act personally.

However, at that moment, Jian Wushuang struggled up from the ground. "Sect Leader, don’t attack Clan Leader Tang. It has nothing to do with her." He then clarified, "It was Lin Xuan who attacked me."

What?

Hearing this, the True Dragon Sect Leader was stunned. The disciples of the True Dragon Sect were stunned. The surrounding elders were also stunned. Everyone was utterly dumbfounded.

Lin Xuan attacked him? How is that possible? How could that Lin Xuan possibly possess such strength?

They couldn’t believe it. The boy was just a three-star Grandmaster. How could he have defeated Jian Wushuang?

"Wushuang, what happened?" everyone asked, turning to him.

Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth. "The Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword... is in his hands."

What? The crowd was even more astounded. How could the Treasure Sword of the True Dragon Sect be in that boy’s possession?

"Damn it! Now I see how he defeated Jian Wushuang," someone exclaimed.

"He must have used the Treasure Sword!"

"That’s a top-tier King’s Weapon! Once unleashed, it’s powerful enough to sweep away everything!"

"How infuriating! Without that Treasure Sword, that brat would be no match for Jian Wushuang at all."

"The real question is, how did he get the Treasure Sword? This is a Treasure of our True Dragon Sect! Why is it in an outsider’s hands?"

They wanted to ask more, but Jian Wushuang’s injuries were too severe, and he had already passed out. The disciples could only carry him away for treatment.

The True Dragon Sect Leader turned his gaze back to Tang Rou. "Clan Leader Tang, you were also on the mountain. Tell us exactly what happened."

All eyes fell on her.

Tang Rou sighed. "I’m not clear on the specific details. I only know that Lin Xuan obtained that Treasure Sword and that he executed the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship."

"What? He executed the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship?!" The Sect Leader’s pupils constricted violently. The faces of the other elders changed drastically.

Could it be? Did that boy actually master the Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship and summon the Treasure Sword?

They felt like they were going mad. This was completely different from what they had imagined. Before, they had seen Lin Xuan as nothing more than an ant who only got here because someone had given him a Golden Sword Order. Otherwise, with his strength, he could never have entered Golden Sword Peak. Even if he did, he shouldn’t have been able to comprehend the Swordsmanship on it.

But now, they had been soundly slapped in the face. Lin Xuan had comprehended the Swordsmanship. And he had even summoned the Divine Sword!

Is this kid really that heaven-defying?

"Hmph! So what if he’s powerful?" the True Dragon Sect Leader said coldly. "The Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword is a Treasure Sword of our True Dragon Sect. We will absolutely not allow anyone to take it away."

Indeed, the other elders were filled with murderous intent as they stared at the mountain path. The moment that boy appeared, they would strike and suppress him.

Nearby, Tang Rou sighed internally. So what if Lin Xuan has outstanding talent and comprehended the first move of the Swordsmanship? This is the True Dragon Sect’s territory. No matter how strong he is, he can’t fight his way out. Even after summoning the Divine Sword, he’ll probably have to hand it over obediently!

The crowd began to wait. There was still one day before Golden Sword Peak closed, at which point Lin Xuan would have no choice but to come out. They could afford to wait one day. As long as he emerged, they would immediately move to suppress him.

「Meanwhile.」

Up on the mountain peak, after sending Jian Wushuang flying, Lin Xuan once again focused all his efforts on seizing the Golden Spirit Pearl. The pearl seemed to be fused with the Treasure Sword, and ordinary power could not remove it. So, Lin Xuan activated the power of his Physique. His palm was instantly covered with Dragon Scales as he used the Cyan Dragon Hunt Sky Hand to grab the Dragon Pearl. With a dragon’s roar, the Dragon Claw’s power erupted, finally plucking the orb from its setting.

As the Dragon Pearl separated from the Treasure Sword, it began to shimmer with a golden light, radiating a sharp aura.

Feeling this power, Lin Xuan laughed in exultation. Yes, this is the power of a Dragon Pearl! It really is the Golden Dragon Pearl!

Lin Xuan now held four Dragon Pearls. Only the final one, the Water Dragon Pearl, remained. And that last pearl was in Fang Cangsong’s hands.

Next, his target would be the Water Dragon Pearl. He would have to make a move on Fang Cangsong. Soon, he would have all five Dragon Pearls, and his Myriad Dragon Physique could evolve once more. At this thought, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but clench his fists.

With a wave of his hand, he stored the Golden Spirit Pearl and started down the mountain. Now that he had mastered all nine Sword Techniques and obtained the Golden Dragon Pearl, there was no longer any reason to stay. Lin Xuan was ready to leave Golden Sword Peak. His next task was to find Fang Cangsong.

As Lin Xuan descended the mountain, the crowd outside immediately erupted.

"He’s out! That boy is out!" someone from the True Dragon Sect exclaimed, and countless gazes instantly locked onto Lin Xuan.

They saw that the Treasure Sword in Lin Xuan’s hand was indeed the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword. The King-level Treasure Sword was truly in his possession. Everyone was stunned. Though they had suspected it before, the truth was now laid bare.

This Lin Xuan really did comprehend the first move of the Swordsmanship and summon the Treasure Sword. The boy’s talent is simply too heaven-defying! He truly lives up to his reputation as the legendary Young Emperor!

But so what? Even with his heaven-defying talent, he wasn’t taking that Treasure Sword anywhere today.

The True Dragon Sect Leader fixed his gaze on Lin Xuan. "Boy, hand over the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword," he said coldly. "Or don’t blame us for being impolite."

Another elder roared, "Brat, kneel and cripple your own arms! How dare you injure Jian Wushuang? This is outrageous!"

"Also, hand over all the Dragon Pearls in your possession, and then you can scram. Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving this place alive!"

Lin Xuan had originally planned to return the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword to the True Dragon Sect after obtaining the Golden Spirit Pearl. After all, he already possessed the Spirit Dragon Nine Skies Sword—a sixth-grade Divine Sword. There was no need for another fifth-grade Treasure Sword. However, the True Dragon Sect’s attitude was insufferably arrogant. Demanding that he cripple his own arms and trying to snatch his Dragon Pearls was something Lin Xuan could not tolerate.

"I refuse. What are you going to do about it?"

After speaking, Lin Xuan tightened his grip on the longsword and strode forward, heading for the exit.

Seeing this, the people of the True Dragon Sect were completely enraged. Arrogant! He’s far too arrogant! He’s clearly looking down on our entire True Dragon Sect!

A nine-star elder stepped out, blocking Lin Xuan’s path. "Boy, do you know where you are? Do you think you can just come and go as you please?" he said coldly. "You’re not leaving today unless you hand over the Treasure Sword and the Dragon Pearls!"

Lin Xuan glanced at him. "Get lost, or I’ll turn you to ash."

"What did you say?" The nine-star elder trembled with rage. "You dare to look down on me?"

"Are you supposed to be impressive?" Lin Xuan sneered. "Jian Wushuang was no match for me, let alone you."

The nine-star elder shot back, "Wushuang only lost because he was careless! He didn’t know you could wield the Treasure Sword! I won’t make the same mistake."

"Who told you I needed a sword to beat him? I can defeat him barehanded."

"What are you? A mere three-star Grandmaster dreaming of defeating Jian Wushuang barehanded? You’re courting death!" With that, the nine-star elder thrust a palm toward Lin Xuan.

In response, Lin Xuan simply extended a single finger and pointed forward.

Seeing this, the members of the True Dragon Sect were baffled. What’s going on? He’s not using the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword? He’s trying to fight a nine-star Grandmaster barehanded? Is he crazy? Does he have a death wish?

"What an idiot," Mo Feng and the other disciples laughed.

The elders wore expressions of utter disdain. They had seen people seek death before, but never so foolishly.

The True Dragon Sect Leader snorted. "An ignorant fool who doesn’t know his place. You think you can fight a nine-star Grandmaster barehanded? Do you even qualify?"
