Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 618: Chu Zhongtian! Becoming a Grandmaster!

The terrifying power erupted like a volcano, shaking heaven and earth.

Soon, a figure soared into the sky.

He stood in the void, roaring toward the heavens.

The surrounding spiritual power rapidly converged toward him, forming a massive vortex. Various phenomena appeared between heaven and earth.

Everyone looked up at the sky, dumbfounded. Someone said, "That’s Chu Zhongtian! His aura is incredibly strong!"

"The aura of a Grandmaster! He’s broken through to become a Grandmaster!"

"How old is he? Twenty-three, right? And he’s already a Grandmaster?"

"His future is limitless!" everyone exclaimed in amazement.

The people from the Star Pavilion were the most excited. They cheered wildly, shouting Chu Zhongtian’s name.

"Chu Zhongtian is invincible!"

"Chu Zhongtian is invincible!"

「On the other side.」

「Wangyue Pavilion.」

The Wangyue Pavilion Master felt the power and frowned tightly. This Chu Zhongtian truly is a peerless prodigy. His cultivation speed is just too fast. Is he already a Grandmaster? There are only three months until the duel. What will Lin Xuan’s strength be by then? Can he fight a Grandmaster?

He shook his head. How could that be possible? Even if Lin Xuan cultivates quickly, it’s impossible for him to contend with a Grandmaster. It seems Lin Xuan is destined to lose the duel in three months. No, I can’t let Lin Xuan participate in the duel three months from now.

At this thought, the Wangyue Pavilion Master made a decision. He had to stop this fight.

High above in the heavens, Chu Zhongtian stood, looking down in all directions.

Hearing the cheers from below, a smile touched the corners of his mouth.

Not bad, not bad at all. I’ve finally broken through.

For the past few years, he had been away, training in various Ancient Relics. He had gained a lot of benefits. Besides obtaining a large amount of Elixirs and Spirit Medicines, he had also acquired some extremely precious Martial Arts.

Finally, he broke through to become a Grandmaster.

Now, he felt he possessed supreme power, as if he could destroy anything with a mere gesture.

But it’s still not enough. My goal is to become a Dragon Warrior. Even though I’ve broken through to the Grandmaster realm, I’m still not a Dragon Warrior. I need that Heart of the Serpent!

At this thought, Chu Zhongtian clenched his fists, his eyes glinting with a piercingly cold light.

With the Heart of the Serpent, I’ll have a chance to become a Dragon Warrior. And to obtain it, I must defeat Lin Xuan. Let’s see, there are only three months left until our three-year pact. In three months, I can finally deal with Lin Xuan myself. To be honest, even though I have this three-year pact with Lin Xuan, I’ve never taken it seriously. In my eyes, Lin Xuan is no opponent of mine at all. Especially now that I’ve broken through to the Grandmaster realm. I hold him in even less regard. Everyone beneath the Grandmaster realm is an ant. I can now kill a nine-star Grandmaster with a single move. Killing Lin Xuan will be just as easy. After I defeat Lin Xuan, I’ll seize his Dragon Dao Power and absorb the Heart of the Serpent. Then, I can break through in one fell swoop and become a Dragon Warrior. At that time, I will be the first Dragon Warrior in a thousand years. I will make history! I will create a miracle! After becoming a Dragon Warrior, I’ll leave Great Xia and go to the Holy Land. There, I’ll be able to obtain better training. Ultimately, I will stand at the pinnacle of this world!

At this thought, Chu Zhongtian’s figure flickered. He descended from the sky and landed on the ground.

The disciples and elders of the Star Pavilion immediately swarmed around him, shouting excitedly.

The Pavilion Master also came over and said, "Zhongtian, well done." He patted Chu Zhongtian’s shoulder.

Chu Zhongtian grinned, "Pavilion Master, I need to go out for a trip."

The Star Pavilion Master was taken aback. "What? Are you going to an Ancient Relic again?"

"Don’t forget, your duel with that Lin Xuan is in three months."

"Rest assured, I will definitely win that battle. I’ll be back in time." With that, Chu Zhongtian soared into the sky and flew off into the distance.

Previously, while exploring an Ancient Relic, he had discovered an inheritance. It was a legacy left behind by a Venerable.

A Venerable! That’s a being even more powerful than a Martial Emperor. His legacy must be incredibly precious. At the time, my strength was too weak to obtain it. But now that I’ve broken through to the Grandmaster realm, I finally have a chance. I must obtain that Venerable’s legacy!

Following Chu Zhongtian’s departure, the news of him becoming a Grandmaster spread like a hurricane throughout all of Great Xia. The entire Great Xia Country was stunned.

"What? Chu Zhongtian broke through to become a Grandmaster!"

"Unbelievable!"

"His cultivation is way too fast!"

The three great families and four major clans were in an uproar. Even the royal family was alarmed.

"This Chu Zhongtian is indeed Great Xia’s number one prodigy!"

"Hey, I heard Chu Zhongtian has a duel with Champion Marquis Lin Xuan. Judging by the time, it should be soon, right?"

"I wonder what Lin Xuan’s strength is now?"

Everyone discussed excitedly.

***

Lin Xuan was unaware of what had happened at the Heavenly Dao Institute. At this moment, he was still on Dragon Island.

After attending the Ye Family banquet, he expressed his intention to leave.

The members of the Ye Family were taken aback. "You’re leaving so soon?"

Lin Xuan nodded. "I have to go back," he said. "I have to participate in the duel with Chu Zhongtian."

Ye Qingwu knew about this, but she wasn’t worried in the slightest. She knew how truly strong Lin Xuan was now.

She said, "Junior Brother Lin, you will definitely win.

"However, I can’t go back with you right now. I need to stay with my family for a while longer.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely come to watch your duel and cheer you on."

Lin Xuan nodded and then gave the Spirit Moon Cold Smoke Sword to Ye Qingwu.

Lin Xuan said, "I’ll be waiting for you at the Heavenly Dao Institute."

In the following days, Lin Xuan went to the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance, the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion, the Mist Rain Pavilion, and the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. He informed his friends and companions of his departure.

The Dragon Seeking Pavilion Master, the Tianyang Alliance Leader, Bai Qian Qian, and the Young Master of the Mist Rain Pavilion were all reluctant to see him go when they heard the news. They hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to leave so soon.

Bai Qian Qian said, "Lin Xuan, I’ll probably be leaving here soon, too. When it’s time for your duel, I’ll come cheer for you."

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded.

「Three days later.」

Lin Xuan departed. When he left, many people came to see him off. Bai Qian Qian, the Young Master of the Mist Rain Pavilion, the Ye Family, the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion, and the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance all came. They waved and bid farewell to Lin Xuan.

"We’ll meet again if fate wills it." Lin Xuan waved in farewell.

He boarded the Dragon Ship and left Dragon Island.

The journey back was very smooth.

During the journey, Lin Xuan cultivated silently. During this time, he also dealt with the Trapped Dragon Pillar, completely shattering it.

The return journey should have taken just over a month. However, dealing with the Trapped Dragon Pillar delayed him by half a month. As a result, it was two months later when Lin Xuan finally returned to the Heavenly Dao Institute.

Lin Xuan was back! The Heavenly Dao Institute was in shock.

There was only one month left until the three-year duel, yet Lin Xuan had still been nowhere to be seen. Everyone had thought he was afraid and wouldn’t dare to return.

They never expected that on this day, Lin Xuan would actually return! It was unbelievable.

Did he come back at a time like this to participate in the duel? Can he possibly defeat Chu Zhongtian? What is his strength now?

Everyone was extremely curious.

When the Wangyue Pavilion Master heard the news, he immediately rushed over. He said to Lin Xuan, "Lin Xuan, leave quickly! Don’t fight Chu Zhongtian. You’re no match for him!"

"Leave?"

"Why should I leave?"

Lin Xuan said, "I came back precisely to have my duel with Chu Zhongtian!"
