Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 192: Peerless Genius? Just Trash!

A large ship sailed over, slowly coming to a stop by the shore. Two figures flew down from it. They were two elders who chuckled and said, "Welcome, everyone. We are the Left and Right Envoys of the Sword Casting Manor, specially sent by the Manor Master to welcome you."

"Everyone, please board the ship," one of the envoys said. The guests then boarded the large vessel.

Soon, the ship started heading toward the central island. On the way, the Left and Right Envoys surveyed their surroundings, taking stock of the crowd, especially the young prodigies.

When they learned that Ye Qingwu was ranked first on the Celestial Ranking of the Heavenly Dao Academy, they were astonished. When they learned that Lin Xuan was ranked first on the Lesser Celestial Ranking, they were equally shocked.

Wangyue Pavilion is truly impressive to have produced two top-ranked prodigies.

At that moment, someone from the Star Pavilion sneered, "So what if he’s first place? In three years, he’ll be a cripple, not even worth mentioning."

"What do you mean?" the Left and Right Envoys asked in surprise, staring at Lin Xuan. "Is the young master injured?"

"No." Lin Xuan shook his head.

"Then why will he become a cripple in three years?"

"It’s simple," the person from the Star Pavilion sneered. "Because this kid offended Chu Zhongtian. He’s set to fight him in a duel in three years!"

"What?" The envoys were astonished. Although they had been in seclusion at the Sword Casting Manor crafting weapons and were unaware of recent events in the outside world, they still knew of Chu Zhongtian’s reputation. He was the number one genius in the Great Xia Country!

How dare Lin Xuan challenge Chu Zhongtian? On what grounds?

Alas, no wonder they say he’ll be crippled in three years!

With a sigh, the Left and Right Envoys stopped paying any attention to Lin Xuan.

Nearby, Ye Qingwu and the others tried to comfort Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan said, "Don’t worry, I’m not affected by this."

So what if the entire world looks down on him? His legacy was beyond what these people could ever imagine.

Beside them, the Wangyue Pavilion Master sighed. "Lin Xuan, it’s still not too late for you to change your cultivation technique."

"There’s no need. The Serpent Fist suits me very well, and I won’t lose."

The Wangyue Pavilion Master fell silent. She had already advised him countless times, but it was truly no use.

Before long, the ship stopped again, and everyone disembarked onto the island. On the island stood a massive manor. It was impossible to tell what metal it had been forged from, but it was extraordinarily grand. Standing before it, the guests felt as minuscule as ants. Lin Xuan and the other youths stared curiously at the Sword Casting Manor.

"Everyone, this way please." The Left and Right Envoys invited the Wangyue Pavilion Master and the other seniors into the main hall.

As for Lin Xuan and the other youths, the envoys said, "Feel free to look around. There’s a garden over there where a tea party for young talents is being held. You can all get together and chat."

"Go on, then." The Wangyue Pavilion Master and the other seniors waved their hands, letting Lin Xuan and their groups go off on their own.

And so, Lin Xuan’s party headed toward the distant garden. Inside, a hundred flowers were in full bloom. A number of young people were already there. Each of them stood out with an extraordinary presence; they were all prodigies from their respective regions.

The arrival of Lin Xuan and his group naturally caught the attention of these talents, and they all turned to look.

"Please, come in." Two men in black robes walked over. These two were prodigies from the Sword Casting Manor. The one who was tall and built like a giant was named Iron Mountain. The other, slender and elegant, was named Tieyun. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

They invited everyone in.

Tieyun’s eyes lit up when he saw Ye Qingwu. "How may I address this fairy?"

"My name is Ye Qingwu, from the Heavenly Dao Academy."

"Ah, it’s Fairy Ye. Please, have a seat."

Everyone took their seats, and the atmosphere became lively once again.

Tieyun was very attentive toward Ye Qingwu. As for Lin Xuan, he was completely ignored. A mere Four-star Martial General like Lin Xuan wasn’t even worth a second glance.

Lin Xuan didn’t mind. He helped himself to a cup of wine, sipping it as he admired the flowers.

With so many prodigies gathered together, the conversation naturally turned to topics relevant to the younger generation, chief among them being other young prodigies. A disciple from the Sword Casting Manor said with a smile, "Your Heavenly Dao Academy is truly full of geniuses. I heard there’s a prodigy named Tian Xing, who’s already a Seven-star Martial General at eighteen. His future prospects are boundless!"

"Indeed. I wonder if this Tian Xing came this time. I’d love to meet such a peerless genius."

The people around them grew excited. Even Iron Mountain and Tieyun wore looks of anticipation. At that age, they had been nowhere near such a cultivation level.

Ye Qingwu’s expression was a little strange. Tian Xing is indeed formidable, but he once lost to Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan is the true peerless prodigy. It’s ridiculous that these people are ignoring Lin Xuan and asking about Tian Xing instead.

However, Ye Qingwu knew their purpose here was to build a relationship with the Sword Casting Manor, so she couldn’t say anything that would cause the manor to lose face. She offered no explanation and simply said, "Tian Xing is here, but he didn’t come to the garden."

"Is that so?" Iron Mountain and Tieyun looked disappointed. "We must meet him if we get the chance later."

We can’t miss out on such a peerless genius.

Nearby, Lin Xuan chuckled, spilling some of the wine in his hand.

Tieyun frowned. "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Xuan said, "Trash like Tian Xing is considered a peerless genius? You all have terrible judgment."

"What did you say?" Tieyun was furious.

Iron Mountain added, "How dare you say we have terrible judgment? That’s ridiculous!"

"Tian Xing is a Seven-star Martial General at eighteen! How is he not a peerless genius?"

"Exactly! What right does a mere Four-star Martial General like you have to look down on a Seven-star Martial General?"

"You’re far too arrogant, boy!"

"Hmph! You truly don’t know your own limits!"

"Out of respect for Fairy Ye, I’ll let this slide once. Apologize to us, and I’ll forgive you. Otherwise, don’t blame me for kicking you out."

Lin Xuan laughed. "I haven’t said anything wrong. Why should I apologize? Is Tian Xing so great? He’s just someone I defeated. Not worth mentioning at all. I certainly don’t think he’s that impressive."

"What? You defeated Tian Xing?" Iron Mountain and Tieyun were stunned, but their faces quickly turned grim.

They said angrily, "Boy, do you take us for fools?"

"Exactly! How could a mere Four-star Martial General like you possibly defeat a Seven-star Martial General?"

Lin Xuan replied, "By fighting across levels, of course. For a peerless prodigy, isn’t fighting across cultivation levels perfectly normal?"

"Utter nonsense!" Iron Mountain raged. "Even for a peerless prodigy, fighting across a single major realm is already incredible. You claim you can fight across three minor realms? Stop joking! It’s impossible for you!"

"Even the number one prodigy of the Great Xia Country, Chu Zhongtian, can’t do that! What makes you think you can?"

As disciples of the Sword Casting Manor, they had spent years on this island and didn’t know much about the outside world. Naturally, they had no idea that Lin Xuan had once defeated Tian Xing. In their eyes, Lin Xuan was just bragging, and it was an outrageous boast at that. The cultivation gap was enormous. Even with a powerful weapon, Lin Xuan couldn’t possibly defeat Tian Xing.

What a braggart! Iron Mountain snorted coldly, not believing a word of it.

Tieyun said, "Fairy Ye, you’d be wise to distance yourself from this boy. He’s an idiot. Associating with him is beneath you."

The other disciples of the manor were even more enraged. They felt that Lin Xuan was arrogant, conceited, and treating them like fools. It was outrageous. They wanted nothing more than to throw Lin Xuan out immediately.
