Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 219: Cyan Dragon Sky-Rending Hand Complete!

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Cyan Dragon Sky-Rending Hand Complete!

For the next ten-plus days, Lin Xuan continued his meditation. Every day, the Ninth Elder would shake the Wind Chime to sharpen their perception.

Ten days later, inside the Meditation Space, Lin Xuan struck out with his palm. The entire Meditation Space shattered instantly, and Lin Xuan’s eyes snapped open.

"Hahaha!" He suddenly threw his head back and laughed heartily.

The other disciples were stunned. "What is that guy laughing about? Has he gone mad?"

"Exactly! What’s so funny? It’s been twenty days, and we haven’t made any progress at all. Is that worth being happy about? What a fool."

The many prodigies could not understand.

Only Tian Xing was dumbfounded, a storm raging in his heart. Did Lin Xuan break through again? He knew very well just how powerful Lin Xuan was. Seeing him this happy could only mean his strength had reached yet another level. Heavens, he could already instantly kill a peak Nine-Star cultivator. That’s already terrifyingly strong. If he’s even stronger now, just how powerful has he become? Don’t tell me this kid is already a half-step Grandmaster...

Tian Xing felt dizzy at the thought.

The Ninth Elder smiled and asked, "How was it? Did you gain anything?"

Lin Xuan stood up and bowed respectfully to the Ninth Elder. "Thank you, Elder," he said. "I’ve gained a great deal. I broke through."

"Excellent, excellent." The Ninth Elder nodded cheerfully. He had high hopes for Lin Xuan, so this breakthrough was within his expectations.

Lin Xuan had indeed broken through.

He had finally mastered the first move of his Cyan Dragon Sky-Splitting Hand, reaching the Entry Stage. His current strength was leagues beyond what it was before. According to the Black Dog, now that he had mastered the first move, a full-power attack would give him the combat power of a Grandmaster.

In other words, he could now look down on all others.

It seems this Heavenly Dao Tower is truly miraculous, and the Ninth Elder’s Meditation Space is no different. Lin Xuan was overjoyed. He had been under immense pressure before, since breaking through within a month was never a guarantee. Now that he had, a great weight was lifted from his shoulders.

With over ten days left, Lin Xuan was in no hurry to continue his cultivation. Advancing further would mean aiming for the Minor Completion Stage, which was even more difficult. He estimated that ten days would not be enough. As for practicing the second move, it was impossible with his current level of strength.

What Lin Xuan needed to do next was consolidate his mastery of the first move.

Not long after, the Grand Elder summoned everyone again, this time to the array on the second floor for training. The group entered the second floor and scattered, each seeking an opponent to practice on.

Tian Xing, however, didn’t move. He stared intently at Lin Xuan. I have to see how strong he is now.

He quietly followed Lin Xuan and saw him arrive at a valley. Inside, three peak Nine-Star Demon Beasts were gathered—a formidable lineup. Lin Xuan walked calmly toward the valley.

Following from behind, Tian Xing’s jaw dropped. Is he trying to take on all three at once? Can he actually do it?

Inside the valley, the three peak Nine-Star Demon Beasts roared in unison and charged at Lin Xuan. The entire valley trembled violently from their power.

"Cyan Dragon Sky-Splitting Hand!" Lin Xuan extended his palm and thrust it forward.

The valley was torn apart. The three Demon Beasts were instantly ripped to shreds and vanished without a trace.

A one-hit kill.

"Hahaha!" Lin Xuan laughed in exhilaration. The power of the Cyan Dragon Sky-Splitting Hand at the Entry Stage was truly immense, at least ten times stronger than before.

"Heavens!" Tian Xing collapsed onto his backside, utterly stunned. He sat there, dazed, for what felt like an eternity before his mind rebooted. The scene he had just witnessed was simply too shocking.

That kid... He’s definitely a half-step Grandmaster. A sixteen-year-old half-step Grandmaster! A first-year who’s a half-step Grandmaster! This is just absurd! Not even Senior Brother Chu Zhongtian could achieve that. Could this kid really surpass Senior Brother? The more Tian Xing thought about it, the more terrifying the idea became. No, I have to tell Senior Sister Chu Yue immediately. We have to get rid of this kid, or he’ll become an endless source of trouble.

Tian Xing scrambled to his feet to find Chu Yue, but he stopped after just a few steps, touching his own cheek. The last time he claimed Lin Xuan could instantly kill a peak Nine-Star, he had earned a slap for his trouble. Chu Yue and the others hadn’t believed him at all. If he went back saying the same thing now, he’d probably get slapped again. He might even get kicked out of the Heavenly Dao Tower, or worse, the Star Pavilion.

Forget it. Tian Xing gave up.

「On the other side.」

In the forest, a colossal Demon Beast slowly collapsed, turning into fragments of light before disappearing.

"Haha!" A charming laugh rang out. Chu Yue’s face was flushed with excitement. She had just defeated a peak Nine-Star Demon Beast in only fifty moves. This was incredible. Before, it would have taken her hundreds of moves. Now, she could do it in fifty. This proved her strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

There are still ten days left. My strength can improve even more. By then, I might even be able to defeat a peak Nine-Star in thirty moves.

Shangguan Hao and Leng Rushuang were also thrilled. They praised her, "Chu Yue, you’re so strong! With your current strength, you can definitely compete for the top five on the Hidden Dragon Chart."

"Maybe you can even take first place!"

"I’m certain I can become number one," Chu Yue declared with unshakable confidence.

A day later, everyone returned to the first floor, some joyous and others worried. The prodigies under the Ninth Elder were all sighing in frustration. In over twenty days, they had made no progress at all, while the disciples under the other Elders had improved by leaps and bounds.

Ye Qingwu had also made great progress. She found Lin Xuan and asked, "Lin Xuan, do you want to switch Elders? I can put in a word for you to join the Sixth Elder."

"Switch Elders? Why?" Lin Xuan asked, confused.

Ye Qingwu whispered, "I heard the Ninth Elder hasn’t taught you any combat techniques, just had you meditate and perceive! That kind of training has no short-term effect. You’re just wasting your time here. It’s not too late to switch."

"Who said it has no effect?" Lin Xuan chuckled. "The effect is obvious. One of my martial arts has already broken through. I have the Ninth Elder to thank for it."

"What? You broke through?" Ye Qingwu blinked in surprise. "Which martial art broke through? The Wandering Dragon Step? Or the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist?" Those two were known to be Lin Xuan’s strongest.

"Neither," Lin Xuan said with a smile. "It was a Supreme Martial Art, even more powerful than the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist. I’ve already reached the Entry Stage, and I did it all under the Ninth Elder’s guidance."

Sighing, Ye Qingwu rolled her eyes and turned to leave. She was done with Lin Xuan. That guy is bragging again. A martial art stronger than the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist? How is that possible? The World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist is already a top-tier martial art. This guy is so unreliable! I was trying to help him out of kindness, and he just feeds me a bunch of lies. Forget it, I’m not bothering with him anymore.

When the group returned to the first floor, the Grand Elder gathered them once more. "Next, there will be no more array training," he announced. "It’s time for actual combat. For the last ten days, we will go to the Ancient Sky Mountain Range. There, in real battles, we can better guide you."

After speaking, the four Grandmasters joined forces to activate the array. The Heavenly Dao Tower roared, soaring into the sky and flying into the distance. By the time it landed again, it had already arrived within the Ancient Sky Mountain Range.

The disciples marveled at the sight. "What a miraculous technique!"

"Go now. Find real Demon Beasts to train against," the Grand Elder said to Chu Yue. "Return to the Heavenly Dao Tower in one day and tell me your shortcomings, and I will guide you."

The Third and Sixth Elders gave similar instructions to their respective disciples.

The Ninth Elder also smiled. "Go on. You’ve been meditating for so long. It’s time for a real battle."

Lin Xuan felt a thrill of anticipation. He wondered if he could find a half-step Grandmaster or even a Grandmaster-level Demon Beast. It would be a chance to showcase his skills and have a real fight.

The other prodigies under him, however, simply rolled their eyes. They felt they had wasted the past twenty days. What progress had they made? That Ninth Elder was just too unreliable.
