Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 145: Lin Xuan Becomes the Guardian

Song Tiange was a third-year disciple and a top genius. His cultivation had reached the peak of a Six-Star Martial General, making him even stronger than Mo Fan. In terms of both status and strength, Song Tiange far surpassed Mo Fan.

Hearing his master’s words, Song Tiange said, "No problem. As long as I can help Senior Brother, I’ll do anything."

The Star Pavilion Master nodded. "Then from now on, you’ll have to go and guard the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein frequently."

"That’s a small matter," Song Tiange laughed. "As long as Senior Brother benefits, it’s worth it."

He unconditionally supported his Senior Brother, Chu Tiange.

After this, Song Tiange left the main hall. After some thought, he decided to head to the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein at once. In my view, as long as Master makes a move, the guardian position is as good as mine. I’d better head over to the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein early and start setting things up.

Soon, Song Tiange led a group toward the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein. He wanted to make some proper arrangements there to ensure his comfort.

The competition for this guardian position was fierce. All four Pavilion Masters had made their move, and in addition, some of the veteran Grandmasters also vied to seize it. For a time, the entire Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute was in turmoil, with hidden currents surging.

But in the end, the position was obtained by the Wangyue Pavilion Master.

This outcome was beyond everyone’s expectations. The other three Pavilion Masters and the veteran Grandmasters were all stunned.

Many people exclaimed, "The Wangyue Pavilion is truly on the rise!"

Others sighed, "The Wangyue Pavilion has been far too dominant recently."

The Star Pavilion Master’s face turned extremely grim. I can’t believe it turned out this way. This is infuriating! he fumed internally. The Wangyue Pavilion Master actually snatched it. Will she give it to Lin Xuan? If she does, the power of his World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist will increase dramatically. He might actually have a chance to threaten Chu Zhongtian! At this thought, his expression darkened even more.

The experts from the Tianyang Pavilion and the Purple Mist Pavilion were equally shocked. However, since the matter was settled, they said nothing more. In fact, they even went up to congratulate the Wangyue Pavilion Master.

The Wangyue Pavilion Master was surrounded by people offering congratulations, and her face was beaming with delight. Although she had paid a huge price this time, she had fortunately secured the position.

Hmph!

The Star Pavilion Master snorted coldly, flung his sleeve, and turned to leave. If he stayed any longer, he felt he would go mad with rage.

Watching the Star Pavilion Master’s departing figure, the smile on the Wangyue Pavilion Master’s lips widened. Soon after, she left as well.

The Wangyue Pavilion Master returned to her grand hall and summoned Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan arrived once more at the Moon Viewing Hall and asked, "Pavilion Master, what is the matter?"

The Wangyue Pavilion Master said, "I have secured the guardian position for you. You should prepare yourself. There will be a grand ceremony to mark your appointment. During the ceremony, you will be officially conferred as the Dragon Concealment Guardian of the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein."

So soon? Lin Xuan was incredibly surprised. He hadn’t expected the Wangyue Pavilion to move so fast, nor had he truly imagined they would secure the position.

He declared, "Pavilion Master, rest assured. I will train hard and not disappoint your expectations."

「Three days later.」

The grand ceremony commenced.

The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute personally conferred upon Lin Xuan the title of Dragon Concealment Guardian. At this moment, a collective gasp echoed throughout the entire Sacred Institute. The disciples who heard the news were even more shocked. People like Zhao Feiyan and Shen Xiaoyao were dumbfounded. Lin Xuan’s status was climbing higher and higher, completely surpassing them.

When Mo Fan received the news, he was livid. How could this be? Not only was that brat not suppressed, but he’s actually getting stronger and stronger! He was so furious that he fainted on the spot.

Yao Guang’s face was terrifyingly gloomy. How is this kid growing so fast? I have to find a chance to make a move, and quickly. Otherwise, I can’t even imagine how strong he’ll become. Perhaps one day, his status might even surpass my own.

The other disciples were simply shaken to their core. Those from the Wangyue Pavilion, in particular, erupted in cheers, chanting Lin Xuan’s name. In that instant, Lin Xuan’s fame once again resounded throughout the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute.

Lin Xuan himself was equally thrilled. The ceremony was even grander than he had imagined. All four Pavilion Masters and numerous core elders were in attendance. The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute himself had personally officiated his conferment.

A Dragon Claw insignia materialized on Lin Xuan’s robes. This was his Guardian’s Battle Robe.

By scale, the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein was merely a small spirit vein, but it was exceedingly special because it possessed the power of a Dragon Vein and had the potential to become a true Dragon Vein in the future. This was precisely why so many experts had vied for it earlier. And now, such a precious spirit vein belonged to Lin Xuan. He could now go to the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein to cultivate anytime he wished, and no one would dictate how long he spent there.

Of course, he also had responsibilities: he was in charge of managing the mining of the spirit vein and ensuring its safety.

Lin Xuan planned to head to the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein immediately after the ceremony to absorb the Dragon Dao Power there and enhance his cultivation. He was currently just a Three-Star Martial General, but he figured it wouldn’t be long before he became a Four-Star Martial General. By then, his strength would be even greater.

As for the members of the Star Pavilion, their expressions were foul. Many of their elders gritted their teeth. In their view, the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein should have belonged to Chu Zhongtian. It had been snatched away by Lin Xuan. Recalling Lin Xuan’s previous battle records, a sense of crisis washed over them. This Lin Xuan was rising far too quickly. He was still just a first-year freshman, yet he could already defeat a Six-Star Martial General. Now, he had obtained the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein as well. They dared not imagine how powerful he would become in the future. Perhaps in a few years, he might truly pose a threat to Chu Zhongtian.

However, one of them said, "Relax. This kid is indeed heaven-defying, but there’s no way he can be Chu Zhongtian’s match in just three years. In three years, his defeat is certain."

"True. If you gave this kid ten years, he might genuinely have a chance to surpass Chu Zhongtian. But just three years? That’s absolutely impossible."

"In three years, he will be defeated at Chu Zhongtian’s hands. He’ll be turned into a cripple."

At this thought, they all grew excited. The more glorious Lin Xuan was now, the more miserable his future would be.

Half a day later, the conferment ceremony finally concluded. Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Lin Xuan left the main hall and headed toward the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein. He rode in a war chariot pulled by a magnificent Flying Beast. The chariot soared into the air, flying into the distance until it disappeared into the sky.

RUMBLE...

As the war chariot passed, it emitted a thunderous sound. It was inscribed with countless moons—full moons, crescent moons, and new moons—all formed by a shimmering array. They shed a faint light, their moonlight scattering down and creating celestial phenomena in their wake.

As it passed over cities, the martial artists within looked up at the sky. Beholding the scene, they were utterly awestruck.

"What’s going on? Isn’t it daytime? How can there be a moon, let alone so many?"

"That doesn’t look like a real moon... it’s a war chariot!"

"Heavens! That’s the Moon Viewing Chariot from the Wangyue Pavilion of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute!"

"I wonder which great figure is riding inside!"

Countless people gazed upward, completely stunned. The Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute was the sacred ground of the Martial Dao; any major figure from within would be considered a top-tier existence in the Great Xia Country.

They discussed among themselves animatedly. Soon, someone remarked, "Judging by the direction, it must be heading toward the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein, right?"

"Then the one sitting in that war chariot must be the Dragon Concealment Guardian!"

"I heard that this Dragon Concealment Guardian is a young man, not even twenty years old!"

"What? Is that true? How can someone be so heaven-defying?"

The crowd buzzed with excited discussion. At that moment, Lin Xuan’s name once again echoed across the lands.

And just as Lin Xuan was making his way to the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein, Song Tiange and his entourage had already arrived.
