Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 56: Trying to Snatch the Celestial Spirit Fruit

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Trying to Snatch the Celestial Spirit Fruit

Shen Xiaoyao was utterly shocked. He recognized Lin Xuan. Wasn’t this that same arrogant newcomer from before, the one who didn’t know his place? Shouldn’t he have been slapped to death by Wei Wuya? How could he possibly still be alive?

This is unbelievable! Could another three-star Martial General have intervened, saving not only me but this kid as well? Shen Xiaoyao thought it was possible. But why did *he* get the Celestial Spirit Fruit? That was something he couldn’t wrap his head around no matter what.

He rushed over and demanded, "Kid, how did you manage to get the Celestial Spirit Fruit?"

Lin Xuan put away the Celestial Spirit Fruit and said with a smile, "Because I killed Wei Wuya!"

With that, Lin Xuan gracefully turned and left.

Shen Xiaoyao was stunned for a long time before he finally came to his senses. What? You killed Wei Wuya? What a joke! He absolutely refused to believe it. I couldn’t even defeat Wei Wuya, so how could a mere newcomer disciple beat him? Dream on!

"Elder, what exactly is going on here?" Shen Xiaoyao asked, turning to the elder in the Task Hall.

The hall elder replied irritably, "Either exchange your points or get out of the way. Don’t waste my time." He was in no mood to explain anything to Shen Xiaoyao.

Shen Xiaoyao could only turn to Zhao Feiyan and the others to ask what had happened.

After they recounted the events, Shen Xiaoyao was completely bewildered. That kid actually has Wei Wuya’s token and flute? How on earth did he get them?

Zhao Feiyan asked, "Senior Brother, was it really not you who killed him? Could it have been one of the other senior brothers or sisters?"

"I don’t know." Shen Xiaoyao’s mind was a mess. He truly had no idea what was going on, because he had already fainted by then. "I’ll go ask the others and see if they were the ones who did it."

After saying this, he left the Task Hall to find the other third-year disciples. He had to get to the bottom of this, as he refused to believe Lin Xuan was capable of such a feat.

「Meanwhile」

Feng Qingxue was utterly shocked. "Lin Xuan, you’re incredible! You really got a Celestial Spirit Fruit!" She still felt like she was in a dream.

Lin Xuan chuckled. "I can’t chat right now. I’m going to head back and get some rest. Tomorrow, I’m going to the Comprehension Cliff."

Lin Xuan waved goodbye to Feng Qingxue and left.

「At the same time」

News of Lin Xuan obtaining the Celestial Spirit Fruit spread like wildfire throughout the Heavenly Dao Academy, causing an uproar. Disciples from every grade were left dumbfounded. Even the elders were wide-eyed with astonishment. No one had ever expected that the person to obtain the Celestial Spirit Fruit would be Lin Xuan, one of the Heaven-forsaken.

It was simply too incredible.

When Sun Tian and Liu Ruyue heard the news, they were stunned. They hadn’t even been qualified to participate in the mission, yet Lin Xuan had not only participated but had also obtained the ultimate reward: the Celestial Spirit Fruit. The gap between them was growing wider and wider. Damn it, how could this have happened? Sun Tian couldn’t accept it.

Liu Ruyue murmured in a daze, "Is he really one of the Heaven-forsaken? Why does it feel like his luck is so good?"

Zhang Yang and Zhao Jie’s minds went blank, consumed by jealousy, fury, and hatred. Is Lin Xuan actually going to rise?

Elder Zhou and Elder Zhao were equally astounded. When Elder Feng heard the news, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. Even the Dean was surprised and personally went to the Task Hall to get the details.

After learning about the situation, the Dean was filled with amazement. This little guy is full of surprises. But soon, he let out a sigh. "Even if he obtained the Celestial Spirit Fruit, he still can’t condense a Spirit Vein. He is one of the Heaven-forsaken; he has no future."

Those who overheard him were stunned. Even a Celestial Spirit Fruit can’t save Lin Xuan? Alas, how pitiful. He’s fated to remain a Ninth Grade Martial Artist for the rest of his life.

The Dean’s words quickly spread, and the crowd’s envy vanished.

"No matter how brilliant Lin Xuan seems now, he can never become a Martial General," someone remarked.

"A man with no future isn’t worth our attention."

Zhang Yang, Zhao Jie, Sun Tian, and Liu Ruyue all breathed a collective sigh of relief. Soon, they would be able to surpass him.

However, some people gritted their teeth in frustration, particularly some of the talented third-year disciples. They felt that giving the Celestial Spirit Fruit to Lin Xuan was a complete waste. If it had been given to one of them, they could have quickly broken through to the next realm. Some even began plotting to snatch the Celestial Spirit Fruit from him.

Just as they were concocting their plans, someone arrived in front of Lin Xuan’s small wooden cabin. It was a beautiful woman who looked to be around twenty years old, though her eyes held a trace of arrogance. She wore a long purple dress and was enveloped in a faint violet glow, giving her an air of mystery, like a goddess descended from the nine heavens.

She was not alone. Standing beside her was a middle-aged man—it was none other than Elder Feng.

Elder Feng knocked rudely on the wooden door and shouted, "Lin Xuan, come out!"

CREAK. The door opened.

"What is it?" Lin Xuan asked, his voice laced with impatience. He had been in the middle of recovering his strength, and the interruption soured his mood, especially since the one standing outside was Elder Feng. He did not have a high opinion of the man.

"What is that attitude?" Seeing Lin Xuan’s impatient expression, Elder Feng grew angry. "Is that any way to treat an elder?"

"Heh." Lin Xuan gave a disdainful smirk and asked, "What is it you want, Elder?"

Elder Feng was about to lecture Lin Xuan further, but the woman in purple spoke first. "You are Lin Xuan, correct?"

Lin Xuan nodded, glancing at her. "I am. Who are you? What do you want?"

"If you have no business with me, then don’t disturb my cultivation." With that, Lin Xuan began to shut the door.

"I do, in fact, have something to discuss with you," the purple-clad young woman said. "Elder Feng, if you would please explain."

Elder Feng nodded. He refrained from chiding Lin Xuan again and instead began his introduction. "This is Ye Qingwu, a fourth-year disciple whose cultivation has reached the level of an eight-star Martial General. You could say she is the number one genius of our Wangyue Pavilion. Although Ye Qingwu’s strength is not the highest among all the disciples, her talent is unparalleled."

Lin Xuan was quite surprised to hear this. He had been at the Heavenly Dao Academy for some time now and had a general understanding of the disciples in each grade. For example, new disciples in the first year all enrolled as Martial Artists, with the strongest being at the Ninth Grade. As they cultivated, their power would increase, and some of the top-tier disciples would be the first to become Martial Generals. This meant that the strongest among the first-year disciples were one-star Martial Generals. Most second-year disciples were Martial Generals, with the best among them reaching the rank of two-star Martial General, which was typically the limit. By the third year, the gap in cultivation levels began to widen significantly. The most talented geniuses among the third-years could reach the realm of a six-star Martial General.

As for the fourth-year disciples, the strongest could reach the eight-star level. For Ye Qingwu to have reached the realm of an eight-star Martial General as a fourth-year disciple truly made her a top-tier genius.

But what does any of this have to do with me? Lin Xuan was completely bewildered.

Ye Qingwu didn’t answer, instead glancing at Elder Feng once more.

Elder Feng cleared his throat and said, "Here’s our proposal. You obtained a Celestial Spirit Fruit, didn’t you? If you were to give that Celestial Spirit Fruit to Ye Qingwu, she could quickly break through and become a nine-star Martial General!

"At that point, she wouldn’t just be the number one genius in Wangyue Pavilion, but the number one genius in the entire Heavenly Dao Academy! This would greatly elevate the status of our Wangyue Pavilion!"

Lin Xuan’s expression darkened. "You want to snatch my Celestial Spirit Fruit?"
