Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 619: Lin Xuan Returns!

Upon hearing Lin Xuan’s confident words, the Wangyue Pavilion Master was taken aback. Could Lin Xuan’s power have increased so significantly that he also became a Great Grandmaster?

With this in mind, he quickly looked over and carefully examined Lin Xuan’s cultivation. But what he saw stunned him. He discovered that Lin Xuan was only a three-star Grandmaster. With such a low cultivation level, how could he possibly defeat Chu Zhongtian? After all, Chu Zhongtian was a Great Grandmaster now! The gap between them was simply too vast.

The Wangyue Pavilion Master said quickly, "Lin Xuan, you’ve been away from the Heavenly Dao Institute for some time, so you don’t know about Chu Zhongtian’s situation. Just two months ago, he broke through and became a Great Grandmaster. His power is terrifying now. You are no match for him."

The other elders and disciples from Wangyue Pavilion also arrived. They rushed to Lin Xuan’s side and said hurriedly, "That’s right, Chu Zhongtian is on a completely different level now. Lin Xuan, it’s better if you don’t fight him. Below a Great Grandmaster, all are mere ants. You can’t possibly win."

Lin Xuan was a little surprised to hear this. Oh, so Chu Zhongtian broke through? His cultivation speed is pretty fast. But so what?

He smiled and said, "So what if he broke through? He’s only a Great Grandmaster. I can handle him."

What?

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this. He can handle a Great Grandmaster? Is he for real?

"Did you obtain some powerful Treasure?" someone asked. After all, Lin Xuan hadn’t been at the Heavenly Dao Institute for the past two years. Maybe he really did obtain some incredible Treasure while he was away.

Lin Xuan smiled. "Indeed, I have obtained some Treasures. But I don’t need any of them to deal with Chu Zhongtian. I can defeat him with my own strength."

Lin Xuan’s current strength was equivalent to that of a Great Grandmaster, so he didn’t fear Chu Zhongtian in the slightest.

Hearing this, everyone around was stunned once more.

The Wangyue Pavilion Master grew anxious. "Lin Xuan, stop boasting! You have no idea how powerful a Great Grandmaster is! Let me put it this way: even a nine-star Grandmaster can’t withstand a single strike from a Great Grandmaster. How could a three-star Grandmaster like you possibly be his match?"

Indeed, the other elders also chimed in, trying to persuade him. Has Lin Xuan gotten too conceited? How could he not take a Great Grandmaster seriously? He’s going to suffer a huge loss for this.

At this time, disciples from other pavilions of the Heavenly Dao Institute also rushed over. They, too, had come to see Lin Xuan. Now that he’s back, has his strength increased significantly?

In an instant, countless gazes fell upon Lin Xuan.

But soon, they all frowned. What’s going on? Lin Xuan seems to be only a three-star Grandmaster!

Although that level of cultivation wasn’t bad for his age, the gap between him and Chu Zhongtian was far too wide.

"What the hell? He dares to come back with that level of cultivation?"

"Isn’t he just courting death?"

The crowd was in an uproar.

People from the Star Pavilion had also arrived, and they sneered at the scene. The most smug of all was Chu Yue.

Chu Yue mocked, "Kid, you actually dared to come back? How foolish! If I were you, I would have found a place to hide long ago."

Chu Yue held a grudge against Lin Xuan, who had once slapped her across the face. Back then, she was no match for him at all. But now, seeing that Lin Xuan was just a three-star Grandmaster, Chu Yue immediately grew arrogant.

She sneered, "With your paltry strength, you’re no match for my brother, Chu Zhongtian. My brother is a Great Grandmaster now. He could crush you with one finger! If you know what’s good for you, get on your knees and admit defeat. Otherwise, your fate will be miserable!"

The other disciples also shook their heads and sighed, agreeing that it was incredibly foolish for Lin Xuan to have returned at this time.

But Lin Xuan just smiled. "Is a Great Grandmaster really that powerful? In my opinion, not so much."

This statement shocked the entire audience.

"Damn, this kid has some nerve!"

"Is he not even taking a Great Grandmaster seriously?"

"He’s so arrogant, so conceited!"

Chu Yue was furious. "Who do you think you are, looking down on a Great Grandmaster? You’re just a measly three-star Grandmaster. You aren’t even a Great Grandmaster yourself, so what right do you have to look down on one?"

Lin Xuan said, "Although I am not a Great Grandmaster, I have slain a Great Grandmaster. In my opinion, they’re nothing special."

What?

Hearing this, everyone froze. Slain a Great Grandmaster! Is he kidding?

"This kid’s boasts are getting out of hand."

"Damn, his claims are absurd."

"Who do you think you are, claiming to have killed a Great Grandmaster? Keep dreaming."

"You probably couldn’t kill a Great Grandmaster even in your dreams."

Everyone rolled their eyes.

Chu Yue burst out laughing, tears streaming down her face.

"Oh, kid, you’re such an idiot! I’ve never met someone who could boast like you! You think you can kill a Great Grandmaster? What a joke! A Great Grandmaster could kill you with a single glance!"

The disciples from the Star Pavilion were also furious. "You ignorant fool! How dare you provoke a Great Grandmaster? You’re really courting death."

"Foolish kid, and you think you can challenge Chu Zhongtian?"

"How stupid. You aren’t even worthy of carrying Brother Chu’s shoes."

They hurled insults and sneers, not believing a word Lin Xuan said.

The people from Wangyue Pavilion didn’t believe him either, but instead of mocking him, they were extremely worried. What’s wrong with Lin Xuan? Why has he become so arrogant? What happened to him in the last two years? How did he become so reckless? Is a Great Grandmaster someone he can challenge? Forget about killing one, he probably couldn’t even withstand a single one of their attacks!

"Lin Xuan, now is not the time to boast!" the elders of Wangyue Pavilion were practically jumping with anxiety.

The disciples also pleaded, "Lin Xuan, you can’t be this careless!"

Lin Xuan smiled. "Don’t worry, I’m telling the truth. A mere Great Grandmaster... I really don’t pay them any mind."

Wangyue Pavilion...

Purple Mist Pavilion...

Celestial Star Pavilion...

Everyone was speechless. This kid’s boasting was endless.

"What an idiot. Let’s see how he dies," those from the Star Pavilion sneered.

The people from Wangyue Pavilion were beside themselves with worry.

The Wangyue Pavilion Master’s expression was grave. I have to find a way to get Lin Xuan to leave immediately, he thought. I can’t let him go to the final showdown. If he loses, the Dragon Dao Power he cultivated will be seized by Chu Zhongtian! He’ll become a cripple. That’s a fate worse than death.

***

News of Lin Xuan’s return spread like wildfire.

For a time, the entire world was in shock.

"Did you hear? Lin Xuan is back."

"Which Lin Xuan?"

"Champion Marquis Lin Xuan, of course."

"Damn, he actually came back at a time like this!"

"I thought he’d gone into hiding and didn’t dare to face the battle, but he unexpectedly appeared in the final month."

"Is he here for the showdown?"

"If he’s come to fight now, his strength must have improved significantly."

"Could he have become a Great Grandmaster too?"

"I think it’s possible. Otherwise, he wouldn’t come back for the final battle."

"He’s not an idiot. If his strength were insufficient, he wouldn’t come back just to die."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, all convinced that Lin Xuan’s strength must have increased dramatically.

But soon, new information came out. Lin Xuan wasn’t a Great Grandmaster at all; his current cultivation was only that of a three-star Grandmaster.

What?

As soon as this news broke, the world was in an uproar.

Everyone was dumbfounded. A mere three-star Grandmaster dares to return for a showdown with Chu Zhongtian? Isn’t that just asking for death?
