Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 40: Lin Xuan Masters Wandering Dragon Step! The Dean Is Shocked!

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Lin Xuan Masters Wandering Dragon Step! The Dean Is Shocked!

Zhao Jie laughed. "Elder, rest assured. Dealing with that kid will be as easy as flipping my hand."

He was thrilled. Even the Dean had come to this month-end assessment. If he performed well, he might win the Dean’s attention. If the Dean is pleased enough to take me as his disciple, I’ll soar to new heights.

Soon, the assessment began.

Elder Feng announced, "The first match: Lin Xuan versus Zhao Jie."

This declaration caused many to exclaim in surprise, not expecting Lin Xuan to be the first one to fight. Soon, the two combatants walked into the center of the arena.

Zhao Jie looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Kid, just surrender now. You’re no match for me. I’ve also mastered Xuan-rank Martial Arts, and my cultivation has already reached the peak of the Ninth Grade. I’m just one step away from becoming a Martial General. What do you possibly have to contend with me?"

Hearing this, the crowd erupted in an uproar. They hadn’t expected Zhao Jie’s strength to be this formidable.

It seemed Lin Xuan’s defeat was inevitable. While it was true he had also broken through to the Ninth Grade, he was only in the early stage. Zhao Jie, on the other hand, was at the peak of the Ninth Grade. The gap between them was significant.

"Hmph, this kid is bound to lose!" Sun Tian said excitedly.

Liu Ruyue added, "That’s for sure. Without his martial arts advantage, Lin Xuan is definitely not his match."

The others all thought the same. But just then, a voice cut through the noise. "Lin Xuan won’t lose."

Hearing this, Sun Tian whipped his head around, furious. Who dares to support Lin Xuan? 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

When he saw the person behind him, he was stunned, then completely shocked. The speaker was an exceptionally beautiful woman; Sun Tian had never seen anyone so lovely.

The others were also taken aback. Someone gasped, "Feng Qingxue! She’s a top genius among the new disciples, and the number one beauty."

"Some even say she’s the number one beauty in the entire Heavenly Dao Academy."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Feng Qingxue. Sun Tian was no different; he was practically drooling. Seeing this, the nearby Liu Ruyue burned with jealousy, terrified that Sun Tian’s affections might wander.

She snorted coldly. "You say Lin Xuan won’t lose? How ridiculous! He doesn’t have a single advantage. How could he possibly win?"

Feng Qingxue glanced at Liu Ruyue and stated flatly, "You don’t understand Lin Xuan at all. His strength is far greater than you imagine."

She had personally witnessed Lin Xuan’s combat prowess, which was no weaker than that of a one-star Martial General. How could Zhao Jie possibly be his opponent? Never mind Zhao Jie, probably no one among the new disciples is a match for Lin Xuan.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyue only sneered with disdain. To her, Feng Qingxue was just a pretty face with no brains for supporting Lin Xuan. The other disciples didn’t believe her either.

Up on the stage, Lin Xuan smiled. "Surrender? To you? You aren’t qualified to make me surrender. You’re not my opponent."

Below the stage, Zhang Yang also snorted coldly. "Lin Xuan, you’re too foolish! You can’t possibly defeat Zhao Jie."

Zhao Jie was much stronger than him. Even though Lin Xuan had defeated him, he certainly couldn’t defeat Zhao Jie. Just you watch. Lin Xuan is sure to be defeated this time. I’m going to enjoy watching his miserable downfall.

On the stage, Zhao Jie’s expression turned grim. "Good, kid. You’re quite arrogant! In that case, let’s begin. I want to see what gives you the right to be so cocky."

Lin Xuan didn’t make a move. Instead, he said, "You should go first. If I make a move, I can defeat you in a single strike. You won’t stand a chance, so I’ll give you an opportunity to act."

"You’re courting death!" Zhao Jie was completely enraged. Is he looking down on me? The sheer audacity!

He took a step forward, his power erupting. He thrust both palms forward, and from his hands came the roar of the ocean, like a thunderous wave crashing against the shore.

The surrounding crowd exclaimed, "So strong!"

Elder Feng’s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "This is the Thunderous Palm, a beginner-level Xuan-rank martial art!"

What? It really was a Xuan-rank martial art! The surrounding disciples were shocked. Even the other elders nodded slightly. For someone of his age and cultivation to have trained a beginner-level Xuan-rank martial art to this degree was already very rare. This Zhao Jie was a top-tier genius indeed.

So Lin Xuan is going to lose, isn’t he? It’s a certainty. Even if his Swordsmanship is also a Xuan-rank martial art, he has no advantage in cultivation. His defeat is guaranteed.

Hearing the discussions, the Dean frowned slightly, looking toward Lin Xuan with a hint of concern. I want to see how Lin Xuan will handle this.

Lin Xuan stood there, unmoved, letting the palm strike rush toward him. A phantom image of a vast sea had already appeared around him, threatening to swallow him whole.

The crowd cried out in alarm. He wasn’t dodging! Is this kid planning to take it head-on?

"How foolish!" Sun Tian sneered.

Liu Ruyue scoffed disdainfully. "Idiot."

Zhang Yang was thrilled. He’s too arrogant, trying to take the Thunderous Palm head-on. Just watch, his end will be miserable.

Elder Feng also snorted and shook his head. Lin Xuan is finally about to be taught a lesson.

Everyone else exclaimed continuously, and many even closed their eyes, unable to bear watching. In their view, Lin Xuan’s fate would be tragic.

But at that very moment, Lin Xuan’s figure flickered and vanished.

The palm strike hit empty air.

Zhao Jie froze, completely bewildered. Where did he go?

The others were in an uproar. He dodged it?

While they were still reeling in confusion, Lin Xuan suddenly appeared behind Zhao Jie, slashing down with his sword. Zhao Jie had no time to dodge. He had only just started to turn his head when he saw a flash of sword light descending upon him.

With a loud BANG, Zhao Jie was sent flying. Like a kite with a broken string, he soared into the distance before landing heavily on the Martial Arts Arena.

The entire arena fell into a stunned silence. Everyone’s eyes were wide with disbelief.

Sun Tian was dumbfounded.

Liu Ruyue was speechless.

Zhang Yang was frozen in place.

Elder Feng was bewildered.

Everyone was utterly stupefied.

Good heavens! Zhao Jie had actually lost. Defeated in a single move! It was too incredible to believe.

"Impossible! How did you dodge that?" Zhao Jie cried out, frustrated and unable to accept the reality. If his palm had landed, his opponent would have been defeated without a doubt, but at the last moment, he had dodged. "What kind of Body Technique is that? It’s just too bizarre!"

Only Feng Qingxue smiled. She had known this would be the result all along. Lin Xuan’s strength was beyond what these people could ever imagine.

"Excellent!"

At that moment, the Dean burst out laughing. He stood up, his face filled with excitement. Others might not have understood what happened, but he did.

What Lin Xuan had just used was the Wandering Dragon Step. Body like a wandering dragon! To have dodged that palm strike with such incredible speed, it was obvious that Lin Xuan had mastered the Wandering Dragon Step.

To master the Wandering Dragon Step in just one month... this is a peerless genius! To be honest, this outcome had completely exceeded the Dean’s expectations. Previously, he hadn’t held out much hope at all.

"Our Heavenly Dao Academy has finally recruited a peerless genius!" The Dean’s jubilant laughter echoed throughout the arena.

Everyone was bewildered by his words. Lin Xuan is a peerless genius?

"This can’t be!" Elder Feng jumped up and protested, "Dean, he is someone forsaken by the heavens! He has no future!"

"Indeed," Elder Zhou and the others also stepped forward. "The test at that time already proved he was someone forsaken by the heavens. How could such a person be a peerless genius?"

The Dean replied, "Perhaps there was an error in the previous test. This time, I will personally test him with the Celestial Stele."

With that, the Dean’s hands formed a seal as he summoned the Celestial Stele.
