Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 86: Entering the Heavenly Dao Tower Again! Mastering the World-Ending Serpent Fist!

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Entering the Heavenly Dao Tower Again! Mastering the World-Ending Serpent Fist!

The new disciples were utterly shocked. Who is that? How can someone be so powerful?

Ling Fengzi said, "That’s Senior Brother Chu Zhongtian. He’s a fifth-year disciple, but he ranks first on the Celestial Ranking. He’s considered the greatest genius in our Heavenly Dao Academy, which is why everyone calls him Senior Brother. He is now a Grandmaster. He even made it onto the Celestial Ranking in his first year and has defeated elders at the Grandmaster level."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. They hadn’t realized the legendary Senior Brother was so formidable. In that case, he seems even stronger than Lin Xuan. Although Lin Xuan is extraordinary, he’s still only a one-star Martial General. Could he possibly become a Grandmaster by his fifth year? They were all skeptical.

Lin Xuan overheard the chatter and turned his head, declaring loudly, "Within three years, I will definitely surpass Senior Brother."

Everyone was taken aback. The older students simply rolled their eyes. This kid’s bragging again.

"Impossible," Ling Fengzi said, shaking his head. "Even if you can defeat me, you can’t defeat Senior Brother. He’s an invincible existence."

Even the elders frowned, thinking Lin Xuan had grown far too arrogant. How dare he challenge Chu Zhongtian? Is he someone you can just challenge? He was a once-in-a-millennium talent with limitless potential. Chu Zhongtian had the chance to become a legendary Dragon Warrior. The last Dragon Warrior, after all, had appeared a thousand years ago. If Chu Zhongtian succeeded, he would undoubtedly become the strongest expert in the Great Xia Dynasty, and perhaps even one of the top powerhouses in the entire world. Even a talent like Lin Xuan couldn’t possibly compete with him.

The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Xuan’s words. Both he and Chu Zhongtian cultivated the World-Ending Serpent Fist. Only one of them could continue down that path. Unfortunately, the Dean didn’t have high hopes for Lin Xuan.

After the rankings were finalized, it was time to distribute the rewards. Lin Xuan collected his, which included points and various treasures, and then waited for his chance to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower again. The top three on the ranking all earned the chance to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower. This meant that Lin Xuan, Ling Fengzi, and Jian Wuhen would all be going inside. Both Lin Xuan and Ling Fengzi had been inside before, but it was Jian Wuhen’s first time. He was incredibly eager.

"You three, come with me." The Dean personally led the trio to the Heavenly Dao Tower.

Countless people watched their departing figures with intense envy.

Arriving at the Heavenly Dao Tower this time, Lin Xuan was much more composed. Jian Wuhen, on the other hand, curiously scanned his surroundings. When he heard that the tower was protected by an ultimate array, his face went pale with fright. But upon entering and learning of the Nine Great Inheritances, his eyes began to gleam.

"Alright, you have three days here. Jian Wuhen, you have two hours to select a Celestial Stele. As for Ling Fengzi and Lin Xuan, you two may go to your respective Celestial Steles to comprehend them. This is a rare opportunity for you as well."

The two nodded. Ling Fengzi turned to Lin Xuan and asked, "I still don’t know which Celestial Stele you chose."

Lin Xuan pointed toward the top floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower. "The ninth one. The Serpent Celestial Stele."

"What?" Ling Fengzi exclaimed.

Beside them, Jian Wuhen asked in confusion, "What’s wrong? Is there a problem with choosing the Serpent Celestial Stele?"

Ling Fengzi explained, "It’s your first time here, so you wouldn’t know. The Serpent Celestial Stele is extremely special. The power it contains can only be cultivated by a single Martial Artist at a time. Senior Brother Chu Zhongtian has already chosen that stele, and now, unexpectedly, Lin Xuan has chosen it as well. This means that in the future, Lin Xuan will have to face Chu Zhongtian in a decisive battle. Only the victor will be able to obtain the power of the Serpent Celestial Stele!"

"What?" Jian Wuhen was stunned, his mouth agape. He immediately gave up on the Serpent Celestial Stele, deciding to choose from the remaining eight. He then gave Lin Xuan a strange look and said, "Lin Xuan, are you seriously planning to challenge Senior Brother Chu Zhongtian? I advise you to give up. Senior Brother Chu Zhongtian is invincible. You’re no match for him."

Ling Fengzi also chimed in, "He’s right. It’s not too late to give up."

The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy also tried to persuade him. "Lin Xuan, it has only been half a month since you chose your stele. You have an opportunity to choose again, and it won’t hinder your cultivation."

Lin Xuan just smiled. "There’s no need. The Serpent Celestial Stele suits me perfectly. Besides, I will definitely defeat Chu Zhongtian in the future."

Jian Wuhen shook his head wildly. He’s gone mad! This kid is completely insane!

Ling Fengzi also felt Lin Xuan was being far too arrogant. The boy had no idea how powerful Chu Zhongtian truly was.

The Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy sighed, then with a wave of his sleeve, sent Lin Xuan directly to the ninth floor.

Upon reaching the ninth floor, Lin Xuan summoned the serpent phantom and began to train with it. It had to be said, cultivating here was a hundred times faster than training on his own. Lin Xuan really wished he could just take this Celestial Stele back to his courtyard, but alas, that was impossible.

Three days flashed by in an instant. Lin Xuan reluctantly left the ninth floor. His cultivation during these three days was equivalent to three years of training in the outside world. His progress with the World-Ending Serpent Fist had been explosive, and he had now achieved initial mastery.

Lin Xuan could now execute the World-Ending Serpent Fist. The fist technique was incredibly fearsome. If he were to face Ling Fengzi now, he could defeat him with a single punch.

Afterward, the Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy led the three of them away.

On the way back, Ling Fengzi asked Jian Wuhen which Celestial Stele he had chosen.

Jian Wuhen didn’t hide it. "I chose the Divine Sword Celestial Stele."

The Divine Sword Celestial Stele... Lin Xuan recalled seeing a stele with a longsword engraved on it. That must be the one. It suits him well.

Jian Wuhen then hurriedly returned to his courtyard to begin closed-door cultivation. It seemed he wasn’t planning on going home for the holiday, choosing instead to remain at the Heavenly Dao Academy. He was desperate to master the ultimate skill from the Divine Sword Celestial Stele.

Ling Fengzi also departed. Before he left, he glanced at Lin Xuan and said, "Over these past three days, my Wandering Steps technique has progressed by leaps and bounds. I feel like I’m about to break through to the next realm. Once I do, I will challenge you again."

"I’ll be ready anytime. But even if you break through, you still won’t be my match," Lin Xuan stated confidently. His World-Ending Serpent Fist had already reached a new level. By the time Ling Fengzi broke through, his own strength would be even greater. There was no way his opponent could catch up.

"Hmph, we’ll see about that," Ling Fengzi said, unconvinced. He firmly believed that as soon as his Wandering Steps technique broke through, he could turn his previous defeat into victory. After that, they went their separate ways.

Lin Xuan returned to his courtyard and made some preparations to head back to his family. After the Celestial Ranking competition, the Heavenly Dao Academy began its holiday recess. The disciples would return to their families for the break before coming back to the academy to continue their training.

Lin Xuan left the Heavenly Dao Academy and started the journey back to his family. If my family finds out about my current strength, they’ll be incredibly excited.

「On the other side.」

Sun Hao found Sun Tian, and the two brothers prepared to return to their family as well. Sun Tian, however, was extremely anxious. "Brother, quickly prepare a fast horse! We need to hurry back to the family!" he urged.

"Why?" Sun Hao asked, confused.

Sun Tian replied anxiously, "Before, when the news broke that Lin Xuan was forsaken by the heavens, I sent a message to the family suggesting that our Sun Family should take action! If Lin Xuan returns and finds out the Lin Family has been suppressed, he’ll be furious. In his wrath, our entire Sun Family will be doomed!"

"What? You did something like that?" Sun Hao’s expression changed drastically. "Let’s go! We have to get back to the family immediately! We must tell Father that he absolutely cannot move against the Lin Family!"

「Meanwhile, at the Lin Family estate in Cloud Sea City.」

The atmosphere was utterly oppressive.

The Lin Family’s Grand Elder said in despair, "Our Lin Family... is finished!"
