Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 341: Number One on the Flowing Cloud Ranking! Gu Linfeng Makes His Move!

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Number One on the Flowing Cloud Ranking! Gu Linfeng Makes His Move!

The geniuses of Liuyun Country were extremely arrogant and didn’t consider Lin Xuan worth their attention. They boasted that even if Lin Xuan were alive, he couldn’t possibly be a match for Gu Linfeng.

The people of Great Xia were furious. To them, Lin Xuan was a godlike existence, and they wouldn’t allow anyone to challenge him. They launched a frenzied counterattack.

"Gu Linfeng? Never heard of him. How dare he compare himself to Lin Xuan?"

"Exactly! The number one from Liuyun Country thinks he can defeat Lin Xuan? What a joke!"

"Let this Gu Linfeng publicly defeat a Two-Star Grandmaster first. Otherwise, he’s not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Lin Xuan."

"This Gu Linfeng isn’t even fit to carry Lin Xuan’s shoes!" the people of Great Xia roared in anger.

The argument between the two sides was fierce and unending. At that moment, Gu Linfeng stepped forward and made an announcement: he would challenge the previous Hidden Dragon Chart. Furthermore, any other Two-Star Grandmasters were welcome to challenge him. He would wait in the Imperial City for the prodigies of Great Xia to come and fight.

This declaration shocked the Great Xia Country. They hadn’t expected Gu Linfeng to be so arrogant as to actually challenge Two-Star Grandmasters. Many of the geniuses from the previous Hidden Dragon Chart had already broken through to become Grandmasters, and several from the previous top ten had become Two-Star Grandmasters. Their strength was truly terrifying.

Did this Gu Linfeng truly have the power to defeat a Two-Star Grandmaster? For a time, the world was in an uproar as everyone discussed the matter frantically.

The geniuses from the previous Hidden Dragon Chart were enraged. They had long been displeased with Liuyun Country, and now that they had a chance to act, they certainly wouldn’t let it pass.

A genius who had ranked 90th on the previous Hidden Dragon Chart spoke up. "Let me test your skills."

Although his rank was only 90th, he was a genius of the previous generation. Being older, his combat power far surpassed that of someone like Jian Wushuang.

Everyone grew excited. "A genius from the previous generation is making a move! He’ll surely sweep the floor with him."

"Hmph! This Gu Linfeng is just bluffing. There’s no way he can beat a previous-generation genius."

"That’s for sure. A genius’s strength advances by leaps and bounds. Even a few months can create a huge gap in power, let alone the one or two-year difference between this generation and the last. The previous generation’s geniuses can completely dominate this one’s."

The people of Great Xia chatted and laughed, convinced this battle was in the bag. Their genius was sure to win.

However, the result was completely unexpected.

In just one move, the genius ranked 90th on the previous Hidden Dragon Chart was defeated and severely injured. Gu Linfeng even declared, "It’s best if the top ten from the last chart come. Don’t let just any Tom, Dick, or Harry challenge me."

Heavens, how could this be? Was Gu Linfeng’s strength really that terrifying? Some were shocked, but many more were furious.

Gu Linfeng was too arrogant! How dare he call a genius from the previous generation "Tom, Dick, or Harry"? How outrageous!

Some roared in anger, "This was supposed to be a friendly exchange, yet he was so ruthless! He clearly has no respect for our Great Xia Country. We can’t let him get away with this. He must be taught a proper lesson!"

"Please, have the top ten from the previous chart step in!" the people cried out, their calls growing louder and louder.

Finally, a genius ranked tenth from the previous chart stepped forward. This person was a prodigy from the Ten Thousand Flames Sect named Xiao Xun. His current strength was at the early stage of a Two-Star Grandmaster, and he had mastered two terrifying, supreme-grade Spiritual Fires.

Xiao Xun’s acceptance of the challenge sent Great Xia into a frenzy once more.

Someone exclaimed, "Xiao Xun is a true Two-Star Grandmaster! His strength is formidable!"

"I heard he’s mastered two supreme-grade Spiritual Fires. With both flames unleashed, he can sweep away all opponents!"

"Let’s see how this Gu Linfeng defends against that!"

"He’s so arrogant, isn’t he? He beat a Two-Star Grandmaster before? Fine, let’s see if he can defeat Xiao Xun this time!"

"He’s definitely not his match. Do you really think just anyone can be as heaven-defying as Lin Xuan? Lin Xuan possesses the Saint’s Appearance, which is why he’s so extraordinary. This Gu Linfeng is just an ordinary genius. Just watch, he’s sure to lose this time."

The people once again compared Lin Xuan with Xiao Xun.

"Hmph! A bunch of fools. What do you know?" the geniuses of Liuyun Country sneered. These people had no idea how powerful Gu Linfeng truly was. Just wait, they wouldn’t be laughing for long.

Xiao Xun arrived at the Imperial City. This battle was held not inside the Imperial Palace, but outside it. During the previous exchange tournament, the fights were held within the palace walls where the public couldn’t watch. They could only hear news of the results. This time, it was different. Everyone could watch it live.

The scene was a true sea of people. They gazed at Xiao Xun’s figure and cheered excitedly.

"Xiao Xun, give him a harsh lesson! Let him know the might of our Great Xia Country!"

"Xiao Xun! Defeat him in one move!"

"Brother Xiao will definitely win!" Many from the Ten Thousand Flames Sect had also arrived, cheering with great excitement.

While Xiao Xun’s side was a mighty and imposing crowd, Liuyun Country’s side consisted of only ten geniuses. Their formation seemed pitifully small in comparison. But all ten of them wore sneers, appearing to have immense confidence in Gu Linfeng.

Gu Linfeng himself was even more calm and unruffled. Previously, his only target had been Lin Xuan; he had no interest in anyone else. But since the people of Great Xia dared to question him, very well, he would show them his strength. He would sweep through all the young prodigies of Great Xia. He would fight until Great Xia crumbled.

"So you’re the number one of Liuyun Country, Gu Linfeng!" Xiao Xun said coldly. "I’d like to see what gives you the right to be so arrogant!"

He took a step forward, and the Spiritual Power in his body erupted. The force of a Two-Star Grandmaster swept in all directions.

The onlookers exclaimed, "What terrifying power! I can’t even withstand the pressure of this aura alone!"

"As expected of a top-ten genius from last year’s chart. He really is strong!"

Gu Linfeng, however, merely chuckled disdainfully. "Is that it?"

He didn’t seem to care at all.

Seeing his opponent’s contemptuous smile, Xiao Xun became utterly enraged. He drew a fiery Long Spear and thrust it forward. Like a bolt of lightning, it shot toward Gu Linfeng, arriving before him in an instant.

Gu Linfeng didn’t even draw his sword. Instead, he extended a single finger and pointed it forward. In the next moment, his fingertip and the Long Spear collided.

BOOM.

A deafening roar echoed as the Long Spear was sent flying. The finger continued onward, pointing directly at Xiao Xun.

Xiao Xun’s expression changed dramatically. Before he could react, the finger struck him. A bloody hole appeared on his body as he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The entire arena was shocked. Everyone was dumbfounded.

Heavens, what did they just witness? The tenth-ranked genius from the previous Hidden Dragon Chart! Xiao Xun, an early-stage Two-Star Grandmaster! Defeated in a single move!

How was this possible? The crowd couldn’t accept it. Their earlier excitement was now replaced by an equal measure of despair. All the spectators stood frozen, their eyes wide and their faces burning as if they had been fiercely slapped.

The people from the Ten Thousand Flames Sect couldn’t believe it. How could Brother Xiao have been defeated?

"Pathetically weak," Gu Linfeng said as he withdrew his finger, a look of disappointment on his face.

The geniuses from Liuyun Country laughed. "Hah, is that the level of last year’s top ten? What garbage!"

"We told you before that you were no match for Gu Linfeng, but you didn’t believe us. Do you believe us now?"

"In front of Gu Linfeng, a Two-Star Grandmaster is no different from an ant."

The crowd was devastated to hear this. Was Gu Linfeng really that strong? It was too outrageous, too heaven-defying. Could he really sweep through the entirety of Great Xia?

The people of Liuyun Country continued their arrogant taunts. "It’s a good thing that Lin Xuan is dead. If he were alive, he’d also be killed in a single move."

"Impossible!" roared the members of the Heavenly Dao College.

Hua Yan spoke up, "Lin Xuan’s strength is beyond your imagination. He once defeated an early-stage Two-Star Grandmaster in a single move as well. What Gu Linfeng can do, Lin Xuan can also do. If Lin Xuan were alive, the outcome of this battle would be far from certain."

Hearing this, the geniuses of Liuyun Country were unconvinced.

"Keep bluffing. How could that Lin Xuan possibly defeat an early-stage Two-Star Grandmaster in one move?"

"Was he a mid-stage Two-Star Grandmaster then? This is getting more and more ridiculous."

"That kid is only sixteen. How could he be that strong?"

"In any case, that kid isn’t coming back, so you can say whatever you want."

"That Lin Xuan might be strong, but no matter how strong he is, he can’t be a match for Gu Linfeng. Because Gu Linfeng’s strength is at the peak of the Two-Star Grandmaster realm!"
