Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 220: Grandmaster!

These people entered the vast forest, each heading in a different direction to seek their own targets.

Ye Qingwu followed beside Lin Xuan and whispered, "That Chu Yue is truly too strong."

"Her strength has improved incredibly fast recently," she continued. "I saw her in action in the Heavenly Dao Pavilion’s array before. She defeated a nine-star peak Demon Beast in just fifty moves. If I were to face her, I probably wouldn’t even be able to block a single attack."

"Lin Xuan, you must be careful. Whatever you do, don’t offend her again, or the consequences will be dire."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan just laughed.

Fifty moves to defeat a nine-star peak? That’s far too weak.

He shook his head and said, "Someone like that is no match for me at all."

"Because I can kill a nine-star peak Demon Beast in a single move."

A one-hit kill! What a joke.

Ye Qingwu simply didn’t believe him.

Lin Xuan didn’t bother to explain further. "Don’t worry," he said. "As long as she doesn’t provoke me, I won’t provoke her."

In truth, Lin Xuan didn’t consider Chu Yue a threat in the slightest. His real target was Chu Zhongtian.

Hearing Lin Xuan’s assurance, Ye Qingwu finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn’t provoke Chu Yue, everything would be fine.

Soon after, Lin Xuan parted ways with Ye Qingwu. He needed to find a Demon Beast at the half-step Grandmaster level. As for Grandmaster-level Demon Beasts, there were none in this area. The four Grandmasters had chosen this region specifically because it was devoid of them, which ensured the safety of the disciples.

Therefore, the strongest Demon Beast Lin Xuan could find was only at the half-step Grandmaster level.

Finally, he located one. It was a Black Tiger whose stripes resembled black lightning, making it look exceptionally terrifying. Upon seeing Lin Xuan, it let out a furious roar and charged. The entire forest trembled in its wake.

The hair on Lin Xuan’s body stood on end. He roared, unleashing his full power. Patches of Dragon Scales appeared on his limbs as five Spirit Pearls swirled around him. The crimson scale armor on his body emitted a brilliant glow. He charged forward and clashed with the Black Tiger.

Initially, he did not use the Cyan Dragon Rift Heaven Hand. Instead, he employed the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist, and they fought for dozens of moves, perfectly matched.

Finally, Lin Xuan unleashed the Cyan Dragon Rift Heaven Hand. Executing this move at his absolute limit, its power was even more terrifying. The entire void shuddered violently as if it were about to be torn apart. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The Black Tiger sensed the danger. It roared, turned, and fled, its eyes filled with utter terror. It had never imagined this kid could unleash power nearing the Grandmaster level and dared not continue the fight.

"Where do you think you’re going?" Lin Xuan yelled as his hand shot forward.

BOOM!

A massive hand, like a Dragon Claw, descended from the sky. The Black Tiger’s body was torn to shreds, and blood splattered in all directions. A deep fissure appeared in the ground, and distant boulders cracked and rolled away, creating a heart-pounding scene. Thunderous rumbles echoed as dust filled the air.

Lin Xuan exhaled deeply, his face a little pale, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

He had succeeded! He had slain a half-step Grandmaster Demon Beast!

"Hahahaha!" he threw his head back and laughed, his voice shaking the forest.

Now that I’m going all out, my strength has already surpassed the half-step Grandmaster level.

"The Hidden Dragon Chart’s championship is mine!" Lin Xuan clenched his fists, his face beaming with excitement.

After verifying his own strength, Lin Xuan left the area. He encountered a few other Demon Beasts along the way but didn’t bother to fight. He didn’t even give nine-star peak Demon Beasts a second glance.

A day later, Lin Xuan returned to the Heavenly Dao Pavilion. The other disciples were also returning one after another. They all recounted their experiences, identified their own weaknesses, and then continued to train with the elders.

During a break, Shangguan Hao spoke up. "I received a message. They say a Dragon Claw Stone Slab has been discovered deep within a certain mountain. All the major families and sects are already fighting furiously over it."

The surrounding geniuses were stunned.

Leng Rushuang asked, "What is a Dragon Claw Stone Slab?"

Indeed, the others were just as puzzled.

Shangguan Hao explained, "It’s a set of stone slabs with claw marks on them, which carry an extremely sharp aura. They are rumored to have been left by a Serpent, hence the name Dragon Claw Stone Slab. It’s said that an elder from one family was injured by the sharp aura just from placing his hand on one of the slabs. Because of this, everyone speculates that the Dragon Claw Stone Slab is of extraordinary origin. If one can comprehend the power within it, their combat prowess can be greatly enhanced, possibly even multiplied several times over."

"What? It’s that powerful?" Everyone was astounded.

Chu Yue also asked, "Where is this Dragon Claw Stone Slab?"

Her heart pounded with excitement. If she could obtain it, her combat power would rise, and she might even attain strength on par with a half-step Grandmaster.

Shangguan Hao said, "The item appeared in the central region of the Great Xia Country. Right now, all the major families are fighting for it. I heard even the imperial family has made a move. I’m afraid we don’t stand a chance."

Chu Yue sighed in disappointment. The others were filled with envy. If a family obtained this slab and let their young geniuses study it, their strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds! No one knew which family would ultimately be the lucky one.

「Elsewhere.」

The prodigies from Wangyue Pavilion were also listening with envy. Ye Qingwu’s eyes, in particular, sparkled with longing.

If only I could obtain the Dragon Claw Stone Slab.

Of course, she could only dream. She figured she would never get her hands on something like that in her lifetime.

Even Lin Xuan was startled. Claw marks left by a Serpent? How peculiar. He, too, wanted to see this legendary Dragon Claw Stone Slab.

Just then, the Cyan Dragon ring on his hand began to glow. Lin Xuan placed the ring to his ear, and a voice came through—it was the Manor Master of Cyan Dragon Manor.

"Young Master," the Manor Master said, "have you heard the news about the Dragon Claw Stone Slab? It is actually related to our Cyan Dragon Manor. It was left behind by an ancestor while he was practicing the Cyan Sky Dragon Claw Hand. It carries an extremely sharp aura. Our manor still has a few of these Dragon Claw Stone Slabs. We are sending one to you now, Young Master."

Lin Xuan was stunned. They had just been discussing the Dragon Claw Stone Slab, and now Cyan Dragon Manor was sending one over. However, he didn’t feel any excitement. He realized the Dragon Claw Stone Slab wasn’t what he had imagined.

So they’re just marks left from practicing the Cyan Sky Dragon Claw Hand. In that case, there’s nothing to look forward to. After all, the Cyan Sky Dragon Claw Hand is just a simplified version. I can already use the true Cyan Dragon Rift Heaven Hand, so there’s no need for me to study the Dragon Claw Hand.

However, since Cyan Dragon Manor was already sending it, he had to go and retrieve it anyway.

Lin Xuan stood up and found the Ninth Elder. "Elder, I need to go out for a while," he said.

The Ninth Elder asked, "Where are you going? It’s not time for practical training yet. That starts tomorrow."

Lin Xuan replied, "Someone sent me a Dragon Claw Stone Slab. I need to go pick it up."
