Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 245: If Chu Zhongtian Can Do It, So Can I!
In three years, Lin Xuan was supposed to have a showdown with Chu Zhongtian. However, no one was optimistic about his chances, believing he didn’t know his own limits.
Fine. In that case, I’ll break Long Tiantian’s record right now. I’ll show everyone that Chu Zhongtian is nothing. Whatever Chu Zhongtian can do, I, Lin Xuan, can do. And whatever he can’t do, I can do as well. I will surpass him!
With this thought, Lin Xuan continued his ascent. He took a determined step, landing on the 82nd step.
The crowd below erupted. "Holy crap, he’s moving! Lin Xuan’s moving again!"
"He’s on the 82nd step!"
"Does he still have any strength left?"
"What is his limit?"
"Damn, am I about to witness a miracle?"
"Could Lin Xuan actually break Chu Zhongtian’s record?"
"It’s entirely possible! Chu Zhongtian’s record is the 86th step, and Lin Xuan is already at the 82nd. He’s only four steps away from breaking it."
"No way... A record that has stood for 800 years... is Lin Xuan about to shatter it?"
This was insane! At that moment, everyone went wild.
The experts from the various clans, sects, and even the imperial family were all staring wide-eyed at Lin Xuan. He had become the center of everyone’s attention.
The Heavenly Dao Academy was completely stunned. They had never expected Lin Xuan to possess such strength. Could he really break the record?
The members of Wangyue Pavilion were filled with anticipation.
The people from the Star Pavilion were nervous to the extreme, their hearts in their throats. After all, Chu Zhongtian was one of them. If his record was broken, it would be tantamount to the Star Pavilion itself being trampled under Lin Xuan’s feet. They could not tolerate such a thing. Silently, they prayed for Lin Xuan’s failure.
Chu Yue roared frantically, "Stop dreaming! He can’t possibly break the record! My brother’s record is unbeatable! My brother, Chu Zhongtian, is the greatest prodigy of the Great Xia Country! Who the hell does Lin Xuan think he is? Does he even think he’s worthy of challenging my brother? Just watch, he’s doomed to fail."
Shangguan Hao declared, "Senior Brother Chu Zhongtian’s record is unbreakable. This Lin Xuan will reach the 85th step at the absolute most."
Leng Rushuang added, "I believe this is already his limit. He can’t go any further."
The Star Pavilion Master ground his teeth. This kid’s luck is just too good. The elders roared, "His luck can’t last forever! Without it, he’s nothing but an ant!"
While they were grinding their teeth and roaring in frustration, Lin Xuan moved again. Though his pace was slow, he continued to advance, one step at a time.
The 83rd step.
The 84th step.
The 85th step!
Insanity! Everyone was losing their minds!
Shangguan Hao was stupefied. Leng Rushuang was dumbfounded. The Star Pavilion Master was floored. Chu Yue was also completely stunned.
Their faces burned with shame, as if he had slapped them squarely across the face. Once again, Lin Xuan had made them eat their words with his actions.
The members of the other clans and sects went into a frenzy, clenching their fists with their eyes wide and round.
He was on the 85th step! One more would put him on the 86th! He would tie Chu Zhongtian’s record! Could Lin Xuan really do it? 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
This guy was simply unreal! Could he be another peerless prodigy, just like Chu Zhongtian? The Heavenly Dao Academy’s luck was unbelievable, recruiting two such world-class talents at the same time. The ancestors from the other clans and sects were green with envy.
Lin Xuan stood on the 85th step and did not advance. He was absorbing the power from that step. The higher he climbed, the more potent the Dragon Ladder’s Dragon Dao Power became, and the slower the absorption process.
Everyone waited with bated breath.
He can’t possibly succeed, Shangguan Hao and the others from the Star Pavilion prayed.
Damn it! Fail! Hurry up and fail! Chu Yue shrieked internally.
The Star Pavilion Master’s expression was grim. This suspense was agonizing. If Lin Xuan had ascended to the 86th step or beyond in one go, they would have been stunned, but that would have just been shock. Now, however, they were consumed by an excruciating anxiety. They didn’t know if Lin Xuan would succeed or not, and this uncertainty was gut-wrenching. Their nerves were stretched taut, and they didn’t dare relax for even a moment. For them, this was sheer torture.
Damn it, that brat is doing this on purpose, the Star Pavilion Master thought, grinding his teeth. He must be torturing us deliberately. This kid either has heaven-defying strength that surpasses the top tier, or he has heaven-defying luck and is a legendary child of destiny. That’s the only way he could have come this far. But regardless of whether it’s strength or luck, he shouldn’t be this slow. He is absolutely doing this on purpose!
Chu Yue was on the verge of collapsing. She was so nervous she felt faint. Why wasn’t he moving? Could he do it or not? Just give them an answer! She couldn’t stand this torment any longer.
After what felt like an eternity, Lin Xuan still hadn’t moved. Chu Yue was going mad. She wanted nothing more than to rush up there and kick him off the ladder herself.
The others weren’t faring much better. The wait was pure agony.
Someone even shouted, "Lin Xuan, I’m begging you, just put us out of our misery!"
But Lin Xuan remained motionless. "He’s probably out of strength," someone suggested. "Just announce the results."
The imperial elders, however, shook their heads. "Lin Xuan has not yet descended. Please continue to wait."
"Damn it!" The crowd was going crazy.
The Little Celestial King growled, "This kid is trying to shatter my cultivation resolve!"
The other prodigies were also gritting their teeth. This feeling of being tormented was incredibly unsettling. They all swore that if they encountered Lin Xuan in the finals, they would teach him a harsh lesson.
Finally, Lin Xuan moved.
He lifted his right foot and stepped onto the 86th step.
Everyone’s heart leaped into their throats. As Lin Xuan’s foot landed on the 86th step, a sky-shattering dragon’s roar erupted. A Dragon Shadow materialized from the staircase and enveloped him. The heaven-shaking roar echoed through the world, making the very void tremble. Countless onlookers trembled in response as Lin Xuan was completely consumed by the Dragon Shadow.
"Holy shit, what’s happening?" The crowd went wild. "Why did a Dragon Shadow suddenly appear? This has never happened before!"
"Damn, is the pressure on the 86th step so immense that it materializes a Dragon Shadow?"
"It’s over! That Lin Xuan can’t withstand it! Is he going to be killed by the Dragon Shadow?"
The crowd erupted in frantic discussion.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master’s eyes instantly turned red as he prepared to intervene. Lin Xuan was the hope of their Wangyue Pavilion, a peerless prodigy. They absolutely could not allow him to perish here.
Just then, another roar echoed from the Dragon Ladder.
The phantom Dragon Shadow was forcefully stomped underfoot. Lin Xuan’s figure reappeared.
He stood upon the Divine Dragon and roared at the heavens, like a young God of War.
Everyone was profoundly shaken. They gazed at the scene, utterly astounded, as if looking at a divine being. After a long moment, someone finally cried out.
"He made it!"
"He reached the 86th step!"
"He tied Chu Zhongtian’s record!"
Insanity! At that moment, everyone went completely wild!
The Wangyue Pavilion Master let out a long sigh of relief, while the other elders of the pavilion were ecstatic.
The Heavenly Sun Pavilion was in shock.
The Mad Blade Sect was in shock.
The Celestial Sword Sect was in shock...
At this moment, everyone was dumbstruck. The imperial elders were so excited their bodies trembled.
Chu Zhongtian’s record was truly brilliant, the greatest achievement in 800 years. They had thought that perhaps no one would ever be able to break it. They had even estimated that for the next 500 years, no one would even come close to tying it. But now, Lin Xuan had done it! He had tied Chu Zhongtian’s record!
Could Lin Xuan actually break the record?
They waited with bated breath, filled with eager anticipation.
