Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 285: Lin Xuan’s Five Rewards!

It was time for the rewards to be distributed, and the crowd grew excited once more. What could the rewards possibly be? Lin Xuan was also incredibly expectant. He knew he was eligible to receive a great number of them—four in total. One was for being listed on the Hidden Dragon Chart, another for placing in the top ten, a third for ranking in the top three, and a final reward for taking first place. In addition, the Emperor was going to give him an extra reward, bringing the total to five. This news made all the other prodigies burn with envy.

The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Institute was also thrilled. Their institute was the biggest winner this time, with two of their disciples in the top five. One of them had even taken first place, the champion. He was the most dazzling of them all. Furthermore, Ye Qingwu had unexpectedly ranked 12th, which was a pleasant surprise, and several other disciples had made it into the top 30. It was safe to say that the Heavenly Dao Institute’s performance had been brilliant this time.

Next was the distribution of rewards. Anyone who made it onto the Hidden Dragon Chart would receive a reward for being listed.

The Grand Elder of the royal clan stepped forward. With a wave of his hand, a nine-story Treasure Tower flew out, expanding in mid-air until it stood there like a great mountain. From the tower, rays of light shot out, each one containing countless treasures. There were weapons, Battle Armor, Elixirs, Secret Manuals of Ultimate Techniques, and much more. These were all precious treasures from the royal family’s collection. Any single one of those items, if brought into the outside world, would be enough to drive the various families and sects into a frenzy. At this moment, countless people looked up, their eyes turning red with envy at the sight of the treasures filling the sky.

Lin Xuan also looked up, gazing at the treasures in the sky. There really are a lot of good things.

The Grand Elder announced loudly, "First, we will distribute the rewards for making the chart. The 100 prodigies who made it onto the Hidden Dragon Chart will each receive a Purple Spirit Pill. This is an Elixir unique to the royal family."

Hearing this, the crowd stirred with excitement.

The Grand Elder continued, "Next, the rewards will be distributed according to rank. First place: Lin Xuan. In addition to the Purple Spirit Pill, you will receive three additional rewards."

"I shall present them," the Emperor announced, stepping forward. "Lin Xuan, these three rewards are for placing in the top ten, the top three, and first place. For the top-ten reward, you may choose one item from among the weapons, Elixirs, and Martial Arts in the sky. For the top-three reward, in addition to those categories, you may also choose a rune, an Array, a Secret Technique, or a Pill Recipe. Now, what do you wish to choose? Tell me."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and replied, "I would like a Pill Recipe and an Elixir."

He had already made up his mind. He wanted to enhance his strength as much as possible. As for weapons, he was not lacking any at the moment; his Physique was his best weapon. As for Martial Arts, he was not lacking in those either. His Cyan Dragon Splitting Sky Hand was more than enough for him to practice.

"Good." The Emperor nodded upon hearing his choice. He waved his hand, selecting two items from the treasures in the sky.

One was a purple Elixir, about the size of a walnut and covered in intricate patterns.

The Emperor said, "This Elixir is called the Purple Dragon Pill. It is an upgraded version of the Purple Spirit Pill. You possess Dragon Dao Power, do you not? This Elixir is the most suitable for you."

With a wave of his hand, the Elixir flew toward Lin Xuan. As a dragon’s roar echoed, a phantom of a purple dragon materialized around the Elixir, baring its claws and roaring at the sky.

The surrounding crowd was immensely shocked. This Elixir can actually take the form of a dragon? That’s too incredible!

Even the elders of the royal family gasped in astonishment. The Purple Dragon Pill was incredibly precious. Was it really being given to Lin Xuan? It seems the Emperor truly holds him in high regard.

The people from the Star Pavilion were also stunned, and the Star Pavilion Master, in particular, grew tense. He already cultivated Dragon Power, and now with a Dragon Pill... Who knew how much his Dragon Dao Power would increase? Damn it... how can it be that Lin Xuan could actually pose a threat to Chu Zhongtian? The Star Pavilion Master began to worry.

Lin Xuan was equally thrilled. Upon receiving the Purple Dragon Pill, he could feel the potent Dragon Dao Power contained within it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Lin Xuan said gratefully.

The Emperor laughed heartily and then reached into the sky once more, grabbing a scroll. He said, "I know that not only is your Martial Dao talent superb, but your talent in the Alchemy Dao is also top-tier. You were the champion of the previous alchemy competition as well, so I have selected a Pill Recipe for you."

Saying this, he tossed the scroll to Lin Xuan. After catching it and glancing at its contents, Lin Xuan exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The surrounding people were intensely curious. What kind of Pill Recipe is that? What kind of Elixir does it describe? The Emperor did not say, and neither did Lin Xuan, so no one knew what was recorded on that Pill Recipe.

Someone remarked, "Lin Xuan actually chose an Elixir? He didn’t pick a weapon or a Secret Technique? That’s truly surprising."

The previous champion, Chu Zhongtian, had chosen a powerful Secret Technique. It was said that with that Secret Technique alone, he could fight opponents above his rank.

The Celestial Sword Sect Leader said to Jian Wushuang, "You are second place, so it will soon be your turn to choose. You should choose a Secret Technique. The Secret Techniques in the royal family’s collection are absolutely top-notch."

Jian Wushuang nodded in agreement. Wan Tianming, Beichen, and the others thought the same.

At this point, the Emperor continued, "Next is the reward for first place. According to tradition, you may enter the Purple Mountain to cultivate for three days." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Upon hearing this, the crowd was once again filled with envy. Only the first-place winner could enter the Purple Mountain. The Purple Mountain possessed powerful Dragon Dao Power, but besides that, it surely held other secrets. Everyone who entered the Purple Mountain had reaped tremendous benefits. Chu Zhongtian, for example, had broken through to become a Grandmaster shortly after his visit. Since then, his strength had grown by leaps and bounds. It was said that he was now not far from the Grandmaster Realm. He must have obtained some supreme fortune within the Purple Mountain.

That Purple Mountain is the real treasure trove, but unfortunately, only the first-place winner can go in.

Everyone looked at Lin Xuan with immense envy. Chu Yue was also incredibly envious. I wonder what kind of treasures this Lin Xuan will obtain after going inside.

Lin Xuan was equally expectant. Excellent! My goal was to enter the Purple Mountain, and now I finally can. My Physique has broken its limits, so I can absorb even more Dragon Dao Power. Inside the Purple Mountain, my strength will surely undergo an earth-shattering transformation!

Just as everyone thought Lin Xuan’s rewards were concluded, and Jian Wushuang was preparing to make his choice, the Emperor spoke again.

"Besides these rewards," the Emperor said, "I will bestow upon you one special reward."

A special reward? What could it be? Everyone, including Lin Xuan, was intensely curious.

The Emperor declared loudly, "I shall enfeoff you as Champion Marquis."

What?!

The statement stunned the entire audience.

Enfeoffment! And as the Champion Marquis!

It was unbelievable! This gift was simply too monumental! At that moment, everyone went into a frenzy. It wasn’t just the young disciples; the members of the major families and sects went wild, and even the Dean of the Heavenly Dao Institute was left dumbfounded.

On the other side, the Celestial King’s face changed dramatically. A sixteen-year-old being enfeoffed as a marquis... this was unprecedented in the history of the Great Xia Country!

This Lin Xuan was truly about to soar to the heavens.
