Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 202: Cyan Dragon Grand Hall!

Lin Xuan was extremely satisfied with the Battle Armor and could hardly bring himself to put it down.

The Manor Master said, "As long as you like it, Young Master, the stronger the Dragon Dao Power you wield, the more powerful this Scarlet Scale Armor will become."

Lin Xuan nodded, committing all this to memory, and prepared to leave.

The Manor Master thought for a moment and added, "Young Master, others may not have faith in you, but I do. I hope you can defeat Chu Zhongtian in three years."

"Thank you for your support," Lin Xuan said with a smile.

He then recalled something and asked, "Manor Master, do you have any clues about the Dragon Blood Vine? If you do, please tell me. I would be deeply grateful."

The Manor Master was surprised to hear the name. The Dragon Blood Vine is an incredibly precious Spirit Medicine!

"I currently have no leads. You want this Spirit Medicine to enhance your Dragon Dao Power, right?"

Lin Xuan nodded, not hiding his intentions.

The Manor Master said, "I don’t have the Dragon Blood Vine, but I do know of a place that can enhance Dragon Dao Power."

"What place?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.

"The Cyan Dragon Hall," the Manor Master said. "It’s an ancient hall, said to have existed for thousands of years."

"It is said that Dragon Dao Power lies deep inside the Cyan Dragon Hall," he continued. "However, the Cyan Dragon Hall has been closed for a very long time. Even Chu Zhongtian never had a chance to enter. In fact, even the royal family failed when they tried."

"You could try your luck if an opportunity arises, Young Master, but don’t force it."

"The Cyan Dragon Hall! Can you tell me more about it?" Lin Xuan asked, his interest piqued.

The Manor Master nodded and began to explain in detail.

It turned out there was another mysterious manor in the Great Xia Country, one even more mysterious and formidable than their Sword Casting Manor, called the Cyan Dragon Manor. In its heyday, the Cyan Dragon Manor was exceedingly powerful and considered one of the top forces in the Great Xia Country. But as the older generation of experts passed away, its strength gradually waned. Without any supreme powerhouses, the Cyan Dragon Manor’s power declined significantly.

In recent years, its strength had decreased even further, but they had made some changes. The Cyan Dragon Manor had transformed into a resort for retreats and gatherings, opening its doors to the public. Certain top-tier individuals were permitted to enter.

However, the Cyan Dragon Hall itself remained inaccessible.

Besides the Cyan Dragon Hall, the Cyan Dragon Manor had many other halls, all of which were quite ancient. It was said that beneath each palace lay an ancient Array capable of generating all sorts of unique phenomena. This type of Array was now extinct and lost to the rest of the world; only the Cyan Dragon Manor possessed it.

The Cyan Dragon Manor used this advantage to attract the prodigies and powerhouses of the Great Xia Country, earning vast amounts of Spirit Stones and money in the process. Although the manor’s status had fallen greatly compared to its past glory, it was now incredibly wealthy and considered one of the top merchant guilds in the Great Xia Country.

So that’s how it is! Lin Xuan understood. It seemed that after he returned, he would have to find a way into the Cyan Dragon Manor, and preferably into the Cyan Dragon Hall.

"I didn’t expect the Cyan Dragon Manor to still exist."

At this moment, the big black dog’s voice rang out.

Lin Xuan was stunned. "What, you know about the Cyan Dragon Manor too?"

The big black dog nodded. "I do. The first manor master of the Cyan Dragon Manor was a registered disciple of the Great Emperor. The Great Emperor once taught him a Divine Technique called the Cyan Dragon Sky-Splitting Hand. He used it to sweep all before him and establish the Cyan Dragon Manor."

"I never would have thought that after all these years, the Cyan Dragon Manor would still exist. It’s quite surprising."

The power of time is merciless. No matter how strong one was in the past, they are gradually submerged and forgotten in the great river of time. For the Cyan Dragon Manor to stand for thousands of years was indeed an exception.

A registered disciple of the Great Emperor! Lin Xuan was immensely surprised. I never expected the Cyan Dragon Manor to have such a lineage.

He asked, "Then can I enter the Cyan Dragon Manor and the Cyan Dragon Hall?"

"Of course, you can."

"You are a descendant of the Great Emperor. When the people of the Cyan Dragon Manor see you, they must address you as Young Master! The Cyan Dragon Manor is your backyard. You can go wherever you please. Who in the Cyan Dragon Manor would dare to stop you?"

"Is that true?" Lin Xuan’s heart pounded wildly.

He said, "Then how do I prove my identity?"

"Simple. When the Great Emperor accepted the ancestor of the Cyan Dragon Manor as his disciple, he bestowed a ring upon him—a Cyan Dragon Ring. The one in the ancestor’s possession is the Cyan Dragon Subordinate Ring, while the one the Great Emperor held is the Cyan Dragon Master Ring. The two rings can sense each other from afar."

"As it happens, this Cyan Dragon Master Ring is with me. I can give it to you. If you go to the Cyan Dragon Manor with the Cyan Dragon Master Ring, they will all have to kneel in welcome."

Excellent! Lin Xuan was ecstatic. In that case, what am I waiting for?

He turned to the Manor Master and said, "I’ve made my selection. Let’s go!"

The Manor Master nodded, a little puzzled as to why Lin Xuan had suddenly become so agitated.

Lin Xuan said, "I’m planning to go take a look at the Cyan Dragon Hall."

"Really? Young Master, do you have a way to get in?" the Manor Master asked, surprised.

"I’m not certain yet, but I’ll give it a try," Lin Xuan replied without further explanation.

Afterward, the two of them left the treasury, and Lin Xuan returned to the main hall.

Upon his return, all eyes fell upon him. The Wangyue Pavilion Master and his group walked over and asked, "What treasure did you choose?"

"A Battle Armor," Lin Xuan smiled. "A Grandmaster-level one."

The Wangyue Pavilion Master was startled. With Lin Xuan’s status, he should have been able to choose a Great Grandmaster-level weapon, right?

Lin Xuan explained, "I want to use it in the upcoming Hidden Dragon battle, so I didn’t pick a Great Grandmaster-level weapon."

The Wangyue Pavilion Master nodded. He smiled and clasped his hands, saying, "Manor Master, we’ll take our leave now and not disturb you further."

"I will see you all off."

The Manor Master personally escorted Lin Xuan’s group out of the manor. Soon after, the other guests also left, each boarding their own boats.

Gazing at Lin Xuan’s departing figure, the Manor Master’s eyes gleamed. He only retracted his gaze once Lin Xuan was completely out of sight.

He turned to the Left and Right Attendants by his side and said, "I will be returning to forging weapons. You two need to keep an eye on the situation in the Great Xia Country for me, especially regarding the Hidden Dragon Chart. If Young Master Lin reaches first place on the Hidden Dragon Chart, you must inform me immediately. I want to go and congratulate him personally."

The Left and Right Attendants were dumbfounded. They knew of the Hidden Dragon Chart, of course. But Lin Xuan becoming number one? What a joke!

The Right Attendant said, "Manor Master, do you think so highly of him? He’s just a four-star Martial General. Even if he can fight above his level and defeat seven-star Martial Generals, so what?"

"Exactly," the Left Attendant added. "The strength of a seven-star Martial General is nowhere near enough for the Hidden Dragon battle. To even get on the chart, you need to be a nine-star Martial General. To win the championship, you’d need to be at the peak strength of a nine-star Martial General, or maybe even have the power of a half-step Grandmaster. Lin Xuan is far too behind."

"Not necessarily. There are still several months until the Hidden Dragon competition begins. I believe Young Master Lin can soar to new heights." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

With that, the Manor Master returned to continue forging his weapons.

The Left and Right Attendants simply looked at each other, unconvinced. In their eyes, no matter how talented Lin Xuan was, he couldn’t possibly make it onto the Hidden Dragon Chart. His current strength simply wasn’t enough.

Of course, he might be able to in a few more years. But in three years, Lin Xuan will have his duel with Chu Zhongtian and will be crippled. Does this kid even have a future? They shook their heads, concluding that Lin Xuan had no future.
