Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 336: Soul Breakthrough! Sword Control Technique!

Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Soul Breakthrough! Sword Control Technique!

"This is impossible!" The Wangyue Pavilion Master frantically shook his head, unable to believe it.

The dean asked in a solemn voice, "What exactly happened?"

The people from the other families and sects looked at each other in dismay. That’s right. Lin Xuan was so strong he even killed an elder’s avatar. How could he have fallen?

Jian Wushuang and the others quickly recounted what had happened.

Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing the tale. What? Heavens! So that’s what happened? Am I dreaming?

Exclamations echoed one after another as the crowd reeled in shock. No one had expected so many things to have occurred inside the Ancient Relic. Many cast hostile looks towards the Prince’s Mansion, because from the narrative, they learned that Elder Qian Xing’s avatar had teamed up with the mastermind. What shocked them even more was that a living Sword King had been inside the Ancient Relic.

And to save the other prodigies, Lin Xuan had actually faced the Sword King alone.

"Our Celestial Sword Sect will never forget Young Master Lin’s kindness," the Celestial Sword Sect Leader declared.

"And our Ten Thousand Flames Sect," added their leader.

"And our Yan Family..."

Experts from the various great families all spoke up. If it weren’t for Lin Xuan, their own prodigies like Jian Wushuang and Wan Tianming would have likely died inside the Ancient Relic. This was akin to Lin Xuan saving their lives, a debt of kindness they could never hope to repay.

He actually died? The people from the Prince’s Mansion were also stunned for a moment, then they burst into roaring laughter.

Good riddance!

"That Lin Xuan is finally dead."

"It serves him right for daring to kill the Third Crown Prince."

"What did you say?" the Wangyue Pavilion Master roared, his face flushed with fury.

The people from the Heavenly Dao Academy were all seething with killing intent. The two sides faced off, on the very brink of coming to blows. The members of the other families and sects hurriedly stepped in to stop them.

The news from here also spread out, and for a time, the world was once again rocked. What? There was a Sword King inside the Ancient Relic! Lin Xuan was killed by the Sword King!

Everyone was incredibly shaken. Some sighed, some lamented, and some remained skeptical.

Amidst the excited discussions, time passed quickly. One day passed, then two, then three. Ten days went by, followed by half a month, and finally, a full month had passed. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Lin Xuan never appeared.

Everyone now knew that Lin Xuan had truly died inside the Ancient Relic, likely never to come out again.

Back at the Ancient Relic, Ye Qingwu and the others had also been forced to exit. The entire ruin had erupted with terrifying Sword Qi that swept through every corner, making it impossible for them to stay inside. The people from all the other great families had already left. A month had passed without Lin Xuan emerging; he was probably never coming out.

In the end, only the people from the Heavenly Dao Academy and the Prince’s Mansion remained.

In the second month, the people from the Prince’s Mansion also left. They were now certain that it was impossible for Lin Xuan to still be alive.

In the third month, the people from the Heavenly Dao Academy also departed. They were utterly despondent. Had Lin Xuan really died just like that? What a pity, a truly immense pity. The heartache was unbearable.

People all over the world discussed it frantically, all feeling it was a great loss for Lin Xuan.

「Inside a secret chamber of the Ancient Relic.」

Lin Xuan opened his eyes, incredibly excited. My Soul Power has increased?

"Hahahaha, this is truly wonderful!" Lin Xuan threw his head back and laughed.

Two months ago, the Sword King had attempted to possess him, only to be swatted aside by the big black dog. To save his life, the Sword King had offered up his ultimate legacy: the Great Derivation Divine Technique. This technique was extremely extraordinary, an ancient legacy of the Great Yan Holy Land. It was a supreme Soul Technique that could be cultivated by those below the Grandmaster realm.

Thus, for the past two months, Lin Xuan had been cultivating the Great Derivation Divine Technique. His talent was already top-notch to begin with, and with the Sword King’s guidance and the big black dog’s oversight, his cultivation progressed at an astonishing rate. In just two short months, he had mastered the entry-level of the Great Derivation Divine Technique’s first layer.

His Soul Power had increased significantly, leaving Lin Xuan incredibly delighted.

The Sword King, watching from the side, was dumbfounded. What kind of talent is this? A monster!

It must be known that this Sword King had an extraordinary origin. His real name was Lei Hong, and he was once a disciple of the Great Yan Holy Land. Those who could enter a Holy Land were all top-tier geniuses. Yet, when he first cultivated the Great Derivation Divine Technique, it had taken him a full ten years just to master the entry-level of the first layer. This kid had done it in two months.

Isn’t this just unbelievable? This is a prodigy! An unparalleled genius! Not even the Saint Heir of the Holy Land possessed such talent.

Lei Hong remembered that the Saint Heir of his Holy Land had taken a full year to reach the entry-level. Lin Xuan’s cultivation speed was several times faster than even the Saint Heir’s! This guy is truly a once-in-a-millennium, unparalleled genius! Lei Hong sighed with deep emotion.

Lin Xuan continued to cultivate. After another month, his Soul Power increased again, finally achieving another breakthrough. It had reached the level of a One-Star Grandmaster.

"Congratulations, kid. Your Soul Power has reached the first tier!" the big black dog said. "You can now do many things that a Grandmaster can do, such as flying through the air. For example, you can also refine fourth-grade elixirs now."

Besides the enhancement of spiritual power, the most important aspect of the Grandmaster realm was the improvement of Soul Power. A stronger Soul Power came with many benefits.

Firstly, one’s perception became stronger. Lin Xuan could now clearly see an ant crawling ten meters away. The entire world was ten times clearer in his eyes than before.

Secondly, his perception of his own body improved. Lin Xuan could now sense the spiritual power within him with greater clarity, and his control over it had increased dramatically. This, in turn, greatly enhanced his overall strength. He now possessed the power of a late-stage Two-Star Grandmaster!

Lastly, it granted the ability to control objects. Flying, including riding a sword, was a form of object control that used Soul Power to manipulate one’s body or weapons. The ability to fly was the single greatest distinction between a Grandmaster and those below that realm. Now that Lin Xuan’s Soul Power had reached the first tier, making him no different from a One-Star Grandmaster, he could naturally fly as well.

Really? Lin Xuan was incredibly excited to hear this. He tried to envelop his body with his Soul Power and then willed himself to rise into the air. Sure enough, he began to float in the void, albeit unstably.

"You’re not quite used to it yet," the big black dog said with a smile. "Practice and master it, and soon you’ll be able to fly freely."

Following this, Lin Xuan began to practice flying. It wasn’t difficult for him, and he mastered it within a day. Three days later, he was flying with practiced ease. Combined with his Wandering Dragon Body Technique, he darted through the air, leaving a trail of afterimages. He was so fast, several times faster than before.

The big black dog nodded in satisfaction. The stronger Lin Xuan became, the happier he was. His dream was for Lin Xuan to become a Great Emperor as soon as possible so they could conquer other realms.

He said, "Kid, you’ve mastered flying. Now you can try something else."

Lin Xuan stopped in mid-air and asked curiously, "What should I try next? Alchemy?"

"There’s no rush for alchemy; I can teach you that. This Sword King is clearly a disciple of the Great Yan Holy Land. Besides the Great Derivation Divine Technique, he must have mastered other legacies, especially those related to the Sword Dao. You can definitely learn the Sword Control Technique and fly on a sword like an immortal. If I remember correctly, the Great Yan Holy Land has a very famous Sword Control Technique: the Great Derivation Sword Technique."

"How do you know that?" Sword King Lei Hong’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He hadn’t expected this big black dog to be so knowledgeable about the Great Yan Holy Land! It seemed the dog’s background was extraordinary. He couldn’t be from this small country. Could he also be from some Holy Land?

"What, surprised?" The big black dog snorted coldly. "I’ve been to the Great Yan Holy Land many times. Even the Holy Master of your Great Yan Holy Land had to perform a grand salute upon seeing me."

The Sword King didn’t dare say anything, but in his heart, he didn’t believe a word. Brag on. The Holy Master is one of the most powerful beings in the world. How could he possibly bow to a dog?

But he didn’t know that the big black dog wasn’t lying. The dog had followed a Great Emperor, who was a true pinnacle existence in the world. In front of a Great Emperor, even a Holy Master was as insignificant as an ant.

"What’s with that look? You don’t believe what this saint says?" the big black dog glared, baring his teeth.

"No, no, of course not!" the Sword Saint quickly shook his head.

The big black dog snorted coldly. "I bet you wouldn’t dare. Now, hurry up and hand over the Great Derivation Sword Technique, or this saint will smack you to death."

And so, the Sword King began to teach Lin Xuan the Great Derivation Sword Technique. It was an extremely powerful Sword Control Technique. The countless flying swords formed from the light in the Sword King’s eyes that had previously swept across the land were a result of this very technique.

Lin Xuan began to study it seriously.

「Meanwhile, in the world outside, another earth-shattering event was unfolding in the Great Xia Country.」

Next to the Great Xia Country was another nation called the Liuyun Country. On this day, the ten greatest prodigies of the Liuyun Country arrived in the Great Xia Country to challenge its geniuses.

In particular, they specifically called out the Champion Marquis, Lin Xuan, by name
