Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 228: Taking Action Against Lin Xuan

Ouyang Changfeng and Wan Tianming were also shocked. They hadn’t expected Chu Yue to actually withstand it.

It was unbelievable. She was just a peak nine-star Martial General, yet she could withstand their pressure. Truly impressive. As expected of Chu Zhongtian’s sister. They nodded slightly, a gesture of acknowledging Chu Yue.

Chu Yue was equally ecstatic. She had withstood the aura of a half-step Grandmaster, proving her strength was nearly on par with one.

Fantastic! she thought, excitedly clenching her fists.

The aura from these two half-step Grandmasters swept over everything, and the other geniuses couldn’t withstand it. Whether it was Shangguan Hao, Leng Rushuang, or the other peak nine-star Martial Generals, they all had to bow their heads before a half-step Grandmaster. This meant that even the strongest among these geniuses were only in the second tier.

Only geniuses at the half-step Grandmaster level belonged to the first tier.

And now, standing with the half-step Grandmasters indicated that she, too, was a first-tier genius. A smile bloomed on Chu Yue’s lips. Her confidence had returned; she was still that dazzling goddess.

Those around her exclaimed in surprise, amazed at Chu Yue’s prowess. It was truly heaven-defying to contend with a half-step Grandmaster at the cultivation level of a peak nine-star Martial General.

Shangguan Hao exclaimed excitedly, "This is combat beyond one’s level! Chu Yue is truly amazing!"

Leng Rushuang said with admiration, "As expected of Chu Zhongtian’s sister. She definitely has a chance to compete for the top spot this time."

Shangguan Hao then taunted, "Some people talk big, dismissing half-step Grandmasters, yet they don’t dare even approach one. If you’re so capable, why don’t you go contend with a half-step Grandmaster?"

As he spoke, Shangguan Hao looked toward Lin Xuan. Everyone else followed his gaze.

This was because Lin Xuan had earlier boasted that he didn’t take half-step Grandmasters seriously, claiming he could kill one with a single slap. Yet, when the half-step Grandmasters unleashed their power, only Chu Yue had dared to step forward, while Lin Xuan hadn’t moved. This proved he was clearly bluffing.

This guy was full of hot air. A clown who didn’t deserve to be here. Kick him out.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, utterly speechless. Are half-step Grandmasters really that formidable? These people are so clueless. The aura from the half-step Grandmasters hadn’t affected him in the slightest; it posed no threat to him at all.

I was just too lazy to act. But now, it seems it’s time to show my strength.

With that thought, Lin Xuan began to walk forward.

The surrounding people were stunned.

"That kid really dares to go."

"Is he going to challenge a half-step Grandmaster?"

"My god, he’s crazy!"

"I thought he was just bluffing."

"Can he succeed?"

"Whether he succeeds or not, I admire his courage."

The crowd gasped and murmured repeatedly.

Shangguan Hao smirked. "So ignorant. Who do you think you are? Chu Yue? She’s Chu Zhongtian’s sister, possessing unparalleled talent and extraordinary Treasures. What do you have? Daring to challenge a half-step Grandmaster... truly foolish."

Leng Rushuang added, "I admit this Lin Xuan has good talent. He can fight across several realms, but that’s the extent of it. Before a half-step Grandmaster, he’s just an ant. If he dares to challenge one, his end will be grim. He’ll be crushed with ease."

"You’re crazy! Come back!" Ye Qingwu exclaimed when she saw this. "Bragging is one thing, but are you really going to fight a half-step Grandmaster? Do you have a death wish?"

She wanted to pull Lin Xuan back, but it was too late. He was already walking toward the half-step Grandmasters. Ye Qingwu stomped her foot in anxiety.

The other geniuses from Wangyue Pavilion were also stunned. He’s insane. This guy is too arrogant, completely oblivious to his own limits.

Wan Tianming and Ouyang Changfeng frowned. They had never even considered Lin Xuan a threat. In their eyes, he wasn’t even worth their time to act against.

"Who will go teach him a lesson?" Wan Tianming asked.

"I will."

A young man rushed over. He was a nine-star Martial General, and his body radiated a terrifying flame aura. He stood before Lin Xuan and sneered, "Kid, who do you think you are, trying to challenge a half-step Grandmaster? Are you worthy? I alone am enough to deal with you! Kneel!"

With that, he stepped forward, his Flame Power erupting as he lunged toward Lin Xuan. He was, after all, a nine-star Martial General, while Lin Xuan was merely a five-star Martial General. A gap of four realms separated them. Defeating his opponent would be a walk in the park.

Wan Tianming and Ouyang Changfeng watched with cold indifference. As first-tier geniuses, they were high above, looking down on everything.

A cold smirk also touched Chu Yue’s lips. Now that she was also a first-tier genius, she too could look down on everyone. In her eyes, Lin Xuan was just a worthless ant.

Lin Xuan glanced at the tall youth and shook his head. "You? You’re not worthy of being my opponent. Get lost."

His words caused an uproar. He was too arrogant! To dismiss a nine-star Martial General so casually was brazen. Where did this kid get his audacity?

"Kid, are you asking to die?" The tall youth was completely enraged.

He struck at Lin Xuan with his palm. The palm seemed to transform into a great mountain, descending from the sky and making the entire void tremble. Those around cried out in alarm, astonished by the youth’s strength. Then again, no one who came here was weak.

"It’s over. Lin Xuan is dead for sure."

"He’s going to be suppressed."

"Serves him right for being so arrogant!"

"Kid, let’s see how you block this," the tall youth sneered.

Facing such an attack, Lin Xuan simply raised his hand and sent a palm strike of his own. It was just a casual blow. However, his Physique was exceptionally formidable now. His limbs had all been reinforced, and a simple lift of his hand or foot contained monstrous power.

When this palm shot out, the entire void roared as if it were about to be torn apart. The surrounding Martial Artists trembled.

"Heavens, what’s going on?"

"What is this power? It’s terrifying!"

"Did Lin Xuan unleash that?"

The mockery on the faces of those who had ridiculed Lin Xuan moments before vanished, replaced by stark fear. This power was simply too overwhelming.

The tall youth’s expression changed drastically. How is this possible? How can he possess such power? He was utterly stunned. Previously, he had been high and mighty, looking down on Lin Xuan. In his eyes, no matter how talented Lin Xuan was, he was just a five-star Martial General—a tiny ant. But now, he realized he was wrong. Terribly wrong.

The power of this palm strike was beyond his imagination, posing a lethal threat to him. With a furious roar, he unleashed every ounce of his power. The flame aura around his hand grew even more terrifying as he launched his full-force attack at Lin Xuan.

He refused to believe Lin Xuan could withstand it
