Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 235: Not an Anomalous Fire

Lin Xuan’s words left everyone around him in a daze.

Not an Anomalous Fire? What a joke.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Yue was furious and couldn’t accept it. How could the flame she had risked her life to obtain not be an Anomalous Fire?

"Utter nonsense," Wan Tianming snorted coldly.

Ouyang Changfeng said, "Kid, don’t get arrogant just because you obtained an Anomalous Fire. You aren’t qualified to question it."

Angry roars echoed as everyone thought Lin Xuan was being too conceited. Even if he was powerful and had obtained an Anomalous Fire, he shouldn’t be spouting such nonsense.

The little Celestial King frowned, his heart tightening. Could this guy have seen through our plan?

An elder beside him offered reassurance. "Don’t worry. There’s absolutely no way this kid could have seen through it. Besides the Celestial King himself, no other King can."

That’s good. The little Celestial King breathed a sigh of relief. He then said coldly, "Everyone, don’t listen to him. This is an Anomalous Fire. It possesses extremely powerful energy and a destructive aura. If you don’t believe me, you can feel it for yourselves. Moreover, Anomalous Fires are the legendary flames of heaven and earth; they cannot be extinguished. If you still don’t believe me, try extinguishing this flame and see if you can do it."

Hearing this, Wan Tianming, Jian Wushuang, Yan Chitian, Chu Yue, and the others all attacked. But no matter what techniques they used, the Clear Lotus Fire never went out.

Only then did they breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Chu Yue even marveled, "It truly is an Anomalous Fire! This is practically an eternal, undying flame."

The other geniuses nodded in agreement. It seems Lin Xuan is just boasting again.

However, Lin Xuan simply sneered. The next moment, he activated his Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire and slapped his palm toward the Clear Lotus before him. The azure flame born from the Clear Lotus was instantly extinguished by the slap.

Lin Xuan sneered, "An undying flame? That’s it?"

Everyone: ...

The entire crowd was shocked.

Shangguan Hao was stunned.

Chu Yue was stunned.

Ouyang Changfeng was stunned.

Yan Chitian was stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

The geniuses in the distance were even more dumbfounded. After a long moment, someone finally exclaimed, "My heavens, what did I just see? He actually snuffed out the Clear Lotus Fire with a single slap!"

"Am I hallucinating?"

"Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible!" these geniuses roared in disbelief.

Chu Yue and the others found it even harder to believe. Previously, they had used all their strength to attack the Clear Lotus Fire but couldn’t extinguish it. That was why Chu Yue had called it an eternal, undying flame. But now? Lin Xuan had extinguished it with a single slap! The legendary Anomalous Fire was extinguished by Lin Xuan’s hand!

How could this be? This was too incredible, too heaven-defying! Damn it, how did Lin Xuan do it? Could it be that this Clear Lotus really isn’t an Anomalous Fire?

At this moment, Chu Yue was deeply shaken. Her conviction wavered, and she began to doubt the flame in her hand. In fact, it wasn’t just her. Wan Tianming and Yan Chitian also wore grave expressions. Could they all have been deceived?

"How did you do it?" Jian Wushuang asked coldly. As a Sword Dao genius, his Sword Qi was sharp enough to slice through anything, yet even he couldn’t extinguish the Clear Lotus Fire.

Lin Xuan replied, "It was simple. A light slap was all it took."

Jian Wushuang: ...

The little Celestial King was dumbfounded. How could this have happened? He had just declared it was an Anomalous Fire, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Xuan had proven him wrong. Damn it, is this kid my nemesis? Why does he oppose me at every turn?

This time, even the elders of the Celestial King’s Mansion were bewildered. To be honest, they believed no one below the level of a Grandmaster could extinguish the Clear Lotus Fire. In fact, even a Grandmaster probably couldn’t do it. Yet, Lin Xuan had done it with ease. This was too heaven-defying!

"I know what’s going on!" Bai Tianyu exclaimed. "You have an Anomalous Fire, don’t you? You used your Anomalous Fire to extinguish the Clear Lotus Fire just now, right?"

As soon as he said this, a wave of murmurs went through the crowd. They only now remembered that Lin Xuan was also an alchemy genius, and a Young Pill King at that. More importantly, he possessed an Anomalous Fire called the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire.

Lin Xuan nodded. "That’s right. I did use the power of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire."

Hearing this, the crowd burst into an uproar. So that was how it was. The Anomalous Fire had suppressed the Clear Lotus Fire. No wonder Lin Xuan could extinguish it.

"I knew it," Bai Tianyu said. "It seems the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire is ranked higher than the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. That’s why you were able to extinguish it."

"No, that’s where you’re wrong," Lin Xuan said, shaking his head. "Even if there’s a difference in rank among Anomalous Fires, at most it would lead to suppression, not extinguishment. There is only one explanation for why I was able to put out the Clear Lotus Fire.

"This Clear Lotus Fire is not a true Anomalous Fire at all. The real Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire is deep within the magma. The nine lotuses on the surface are merely its Companion Lotuses. Their grade is only that of a high-grade Spiritual Fire."

What?

His words caused a massive uproar.

Bai Tianyu was stunned.

Wan Tianming was stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

The flames they held were just from Companion Lotuses? The real Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire was deep in the magma? Was this true? It was too incredible to believe.

"Insolence! You’re spouting nonsense!" the little Celestial King roared furiously. He never imagined that Lin Xuan had actually uncovered their secret.

A nearby elder commanded, "Men, seize him!"

"What’s this, Celestial King’s Mansion? Lashing out in shame?" Lin Xuan sneered. "You lured so many people here, wasn’t it just to use our hands to pluck these Companion Lotuses? All so you could seize the true Anomalous Fire for yourselves. What a brilliant scheme!"

"What? Is that really what happened? So that was the Celestial King’s Mansion’s true goal?"

"Damn it! I knew the Celestial King’s Mansion couldn’t be this benevolent!"

Lin Xuan continued, "The nine Companion Lotuses form an Array that was preventing you from obtaining the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire, so you summoned all the geniuses here. But unfortunately for you, I saw right through your plan."

"Shut up! Make him shut up!" the little Celestial King roared frantically. He wanted nothing more than to rip Lin Xuan’s mouth apart. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Other elders also shot into the air, intending to kill Lin Xuan, but they were blocked by the Ninth Elder.

"What is the meaning of this, Celestial King’s Mansion?"

This time, it wasn’t just the Heavenly Dao Institute. The elders from the other families and sects also frowned. They all felt they had been played for fools.

"Everyone, please, let me explain," an elder from the Celestial King’s Mansion said, no longer daring to make a move. One wrong step and they would be besieged by everyone. No matter how strong they were, they couldn’t possibly withstand an attack from the entire crowd.

As the elders tried to explain, they cursed Lin Xuan endlessly in their hearts. At this moment, they hated him to the bone.

In the end, even the Celestial King himself appeared. He had no choice but to explain personally.

After the Celestial King arrived, he shot a cold glance at Lin Xuan. In his eyes, Lin Xuan was already a dead man. He would absolutely not spare him.

"Kid, you’ve been marked," the big black dog said. "That King has developed killing intent toward you."

"Damn it!" Lin Xuan cursed under his breath. He said, "If that’s the case, then I’ll just have to snatch the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire and really piss him off. Big Black Dog, let’s move!"

Lin Xuan prepared to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth, right in front of a King.
