Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 137: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand!

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand!

"What, you’re a Core Disciple?"

When they heard this, the surrounding disciples from the Star Pavilion burst into laughter, some even laughing until tears streamed down their faces.

"Kid, stop bragging. You just got back, so how could you possibly be a Core Disciple?"

"Exactly! You can’t even lie properly. What an idiot."

"Stop wasting our time. Let’s get this over with."

The group approached with palpable murderous intent.

Lin Xuan said, "Are you sure you want to do this? I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel and apologize right now, and I can let this slide. Otherwise, you will face consequences you cannot bear."

"You arrogant fool, still spouting nonsense at death’s door."

The members of the Star Pavilion were enraged. They decided to torture and cripple him.

"Open your dog eyes and see what this is!" Lin Xuan presented his Core Disciple Token.

The tokens of ordinary disciples were made of bronze, whereas those of Core Disciples were made of gold. The Golden Token shone dazzlingly under the sunlight, its glare almost blinding.

The Star Pavilion disciples were all stunned.

A Golden Token! A Core Disciple Token! This kid actually has a Core Disciple Token. Could he really be a Core Disciple? How is that possible? This kid just got back and hasn’t even entered the Heavenly Dao Academy. How could he have been made a Core Disciple? They refused to believe it.

Someone shouted, "It’s a fake! That token is a fake!"

"There’s no way he’s a Core Disciple right now."

"Hurry up and attack! Don’t let this kid fool you!"

They drew their swords with cold shouts.

"Still want to fight?" Lin Xuan snorted. "Fools."

With that, he waved his hand and produced the Heavenly Decree. He unfurled it, and a terrifying power instantly emanated from the scroll. At the same time, a sonorous voice boomed, "Confer Lin Xuan as a Core Disciple!"

The disciples of the Star Pavilion were petrified.

That’s the Heavenly Decree! Lin Xuan has actually been made a Core Disciple! When did this happen? How did we not know anything about it?

They felt like they were going insane. At that moment, the Star Pavilion disciples completely lost their minds.

A Core Disciple is equivalent to an Elder! Their status is completely above ours, and yet we dared to attack one? We’re finished. We’re dead men walking.

THUD! They all dropped to their knees.

"Brother Lin, spare us! We were wrong!"

"We were blind and didn’t recognize a great person. Please, Brother Lin, spare us this once."

"Brother Lin, just think of us as farts and let us go!"

These men, who had been so arrogant moments before, were now kneeling on the ground, begging for their lives.

"You should have thought of this before you acted," Feng Qingxue sneered from the side.

The commotion had also drawn the attention of others. A large number of disciples poured out from the Heavenly Dao Academy. When they saw the scene, they were utterly astounded.

Heavens! What is going on? Twenty disciples from the Star Pavilion are kneeling before Lin Xuan! This is unbelievable!

Even the elders of the Heavenly Dao Academy rushed out. They, too, had heard the thunderous voice and were shocked.

Lin Xuan has been made a Core Disciple? That’s incredible! Lin Xuan is just a first-year freshman, yet he became a Core Disciple. This rate of promotion is just too fast!

"Yes, besides Chu Zhongtian, no one has ever been promoted this quickly."

"No wonder he dared to challenge Chu Zhongtian. He’s truly heaven-defying."

The crowd erupted in a series of amazed exclamations.

The Star Pavilion Master also learned of the matter, and his expression turned extremely foul. Damn it, Wangyue Pavilion moves too fast! Did they really make Lin Xuan a Core Disciple so quickly? Sigh, I was a step too late. It seems it won’t be easy to move against Lin Xuan in the future.

A smile touched Lin Xuan’s lips. So this is the status of a Core Disciple? It’s incredible. Just revealing my identity made ordinary disciples kneel and beg for mercy. This feeling is pretty damn satisfying!

His gaze fell upon the twenty disciples kneeling on the ground, and his expression grew cold. These people had clearly intended to cripple him. They were truly ruthless.

Fine. I’ll use them to establish my authority. I’ll let everyone know I’m not to be trifled with. I’d like to see if anyone else dares to provoke me in the future.

He said coldly, "To act against me is to commit insubordination. It is a challenge to the rules of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Today, I will personally cripple you all."

After speaking, Lin Xuan raised his hand, a destructive power surging from his fist. He unleashed the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist, striking out at a disciple before him.

"No! Pavilion Master, save me!" the disciple screamed, turning to flee.

But in the next instant, the punch landed.

BOOM! The Spirit Veins inside his body were shattered.

"AARGH!"

A harrowing scream echoed through the air.

The others still kneeling on the ground gasped in horror. Was their companion crippled just like that? Their opponent was too ruthless, too decisive. They scrambled to their feet and tried to run.

"Where do you think you’re going?" Lin Xuan’s voice was like ice. "I, Lin Xuan, in my capacity as a Core Disciple, command the Law Enforcement Team of the Heavenly Dao Academy to suppress them!"

A squad of figures clad in black Battle Armor and armed with blades burst from the Heavenly Dao Academy, instantly suppressing the remaining nineteen disciples. They were forced to their knees before Lin Xuan once more. Lin Xuan acted personally, crippling all nineteen of them.

Finally, he raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd as he asked coldly, "I’ll ask just once more. Who else?"

The other disciples trembled with fear, bowing their heads and not daring to meet his eyes. Even the elders felt their hearts pound wildly.

This kid is too arrogant! Too ruthless! He’s a fierce one, not to be provoked lightly.

"Damn it!" The elders of the Star Pavilion ground their teeth in frustration, but they were powerless to intervene. They could only watch helplessly as their disciples were crippled, a feeling of indescribable suffocation washing over them.

The Star Pavilion Master was also trembling with rage. Lin Xuan’s actions were a vicious slap across his face.

Lin Xuan, you just wait. You will surely die, the Star Pavilion Master vowed murderously. He would absolutely not let Lin Xuan go, but he couldn’t act now. He would have to find an opportunity later.

Seeing no one respond, Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze.

"If you dare challenge me again, this will be your fate," he said coldly.

With that, Lin Xuan turned and left. He had successfully established his authority. He estimated that for some time to come, no one would dare to make a move against him.

Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Heavenly Dao Academy. The disciples of the four major pavilions were stunned.

"What? Lin Xuan is back?"

"And he crippled twenty Star Pavilion disciples as soon as he returned! Heavens, is he trying to turn the world upside down?"

"What? Lin Xuan actually became a Core Disciple? That promotion speed is insane!"

One cry of shock followed another.

When Sun Hao and Wu Ming heard the news, they were rooted to the spot. Zhang Yang and Zhao Jie were also dumbfounded. They were all completely stupefied. Not long ago, they had learned that Lin Xuan had become the Young Pill King, which had shocked and terrified them. They knew they would never be a match for him again. Now, hearing that Lin Xuan was a Core Disciple, they trembled with fear. They would never dare to provoke Lin Xuan again, not even daring to appear in his presence.

Elder Feng was silent upon hearing the news. He had targeted Lin Xuan before because he thought he was trash. But now? Lin Xuan was a peerless genius. He had been brutally slapped in the face. He realized he had completely misjudged him.

When Shen Xiaoyao heard the news, he went frantic with jealousy. He had dreamed of becoming a Core Disciple.

Liu Ruyue cried until she fainted on the spot, overwhelmed with regret.

The other disciples were also discussing the matter fervently.

Someone said, "We must never, ever offend this Lin Xuan in the future!"

The disciples of the Star Pavilion, however, gritted their teeth, their eyes red with murderous intent. "This Lin Xuan is too arrogant!" they seethed, longing for revenge.

An elder placated them, "Just wait. That kid’s days are numbered. Chu Zhongtian will not let him off."

"No matter how strong he is, he can’t be a match for Chu Zhongtian."

"That’s right. In three years, Senior Brother Chu Zhongtian will personally destroy him."

"Three years? It won’t take that long. I’ll deal with him myself, right now," a chilling voice interjected.

A tall figure stepped out.

The surrounding disciples exclaimed, "Brother Mo Fan, you’ve returned?"

This was Mo Fan, also a Core Disciple. His status was no less than Lin Xuan’s. Moreover, Brother Mo Fan was a Six-Star Martial General, his strength far surpassing Lin Xuan’s.

Mo Fan said, "He stole my Seven-Star Gourd. I’ve been wanting to teach him a lesson for a long time. Now he dares to cripple our Star Pavilion’s people? He’s simply audacious. This time, I will absolutely not spare him."
