Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 475: Clues to the Dragon Pearl!

To be on the safe side, Fang Zimo made other preparations. Besides planning to take action himself, he also sought out the geniuses who had been previously injured by Lin Xuan and gathered them together.

Fang Zimo announced, "Now is the time for revenge. We must kill Lin Xuan."

Having already been defeated by Lin Xuan, the geniuses shook their heads. "We’re no match for him."

"That’s right, Young Master Fang. Even you were defeated, and he took your Blood Dragon Blade."

"How do you plan to turn the tables?"

"A bunch of wastes! Look at this!" Fang Zimo snorted coldly, taking out a Treasure Sword.

This was a three-foot-long sword. Its light was as dazzling as a meteor streaking across the night sky, blinding all who looked upon it.

The surrounding geniuses were stunned. "Heavens! What kind of Treasure Sword is this?" "Why does it feel so mysterious?"

Fang Zimo said proudly, "This sword is called the Flowing Light Sword. It’s a third-grade high-level Spiritual Artifact."

"My previous Blood Dragon Blade was merely a third-grade mid-level Spiritual Artifact."

"The power of this Flowing Light Sword is far greater than the Blood Dragon Blade."

"With this sword, defeating that kid will be no problem at all."

"I called you all here to give you a chance at revenge."

A third-grade high-level Spiritual Artifact! The surrounding geniuses gasped.

One must understand, even a typical seventh-grade Grandmaster might not possess such an item. For a young man like Fang Zimo to obtain one, it could only mean that the Fang Family’s foundation was truly profound. They were truly worthy of their status as a first-class family.

These geniuses finally saw a hope for vengeance. "Young Master Fang, rest assured, I will definitely join you!"

"Me too!"

"Count me in!"

As the geniuses voiced their support one by one, a smile touched Fang Zimo’s lips. He said, "No problem. But you should all return to your families and retrieve some powerful weapons or Arrays."

"This time, we must be absolutely certain of victory."

「One day later.」

The geniuses gathered together again. This time, they had brought many powerful Spiritual Artifacts. Some had brought Arrays, while others came equipped with Battle Armor.

Gazing at such a powerful lineup, Fang Zimo grinned. "Lin Xuan, let’s see how you defend against this!"

Unless Lin Xuan somehow has a fourth-grade Spiritual Artifact, he’s undoubtedly dead. But he’s just a mere Martial General; how could he possibly have one? The Ye Family is only a second-class family, so they couldn’t possess one either. This means Lin Xuan is doomed.

Fang Zimo and his group then set out for the Ye Family’s estate. When they arrived nearby, they concealed themselves and began to wait, ready to strike the moment Lin Xuan appeared.

However, after waiting for three days, Lin Xuan still hadn’t emerged. Someone muttered, "Could that kid be too scared to come out?"

Another genius said, "He just took our Storage Rings. He’s probably using the treasures inside to cultivate. I estimate he won’t be out anytime soon."

Hearing this, Fang Zimo’s brow furrowed. His own Storage Ring had also been taken, but he was certain his opponent couldn’t open the Stone Box within it. That Stone Box was protected by a powerful seal. With that seal in place, even a Grandmaster would struggle to break it, let alone a kid like him. Therefore, he was patient enough to wait.

While they waited outside, Lin Xuan was working quickly to break the seal.

Despite the Big Black Dog’s guidance, the seal was incredibly powerful. It took Lin Xuan a full five days to finally break it.

The instant the seal vanished, the Stone Box clicked open.

Inside was a piece of beast skin parchment.

Lin Xuan picked it up, realizing it was made from the hide of some unknown Demon Beast. Inscribed upon it were strange, bizarre characters that Lin Xuan couldn’t understand at all.

He scratched his head and asked, "Big Black Dog, can you make any sense of this?"

"Let me take a look."

The Big Black Dog glanced at it and exclaimed, "Hey, it’s the Dragon Script Cipher!"

"This is the script used by Dragon Warriors. This parchment must have been left by a Dragon Warrior."

Lin Xuan was even more astonished. He asked excitedly, "Quick, see what it says!"

"Don’t rush me. Let me see." The Big Black Dog examined it carefully before speaking again. "Kid, you’re really in luck. The information recorded here is about a Dragon Pearl."

"Really?" Lin Xuan was ecstatic.

One of his main purposes for coming to Dragon Island was to seek its treasures. More specifically, he wanted to find the Dragon Pearls. Only by gathering all five could he elevate his Ten Thousand Dragons Physique to the second realm. However, the Dragon Pearls were legendary items that had long been lost to time. Finding them would not be easy.

He had already tasked the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion with the search, but after all this time, they had yet to find a single clue.

Lin Xuan had originally thought it would take much longer. He never expected to find a clue about the Dragon Pearls now. His luck was truly remarkable.

The Big Black Dog said, "This parchment records a clue to the Wood Dragon Pearl."

"I just didn’t expect it to be in this Stone Box."

"Didn’t you get this from Fang Zimo? How did he have something like this?"

"Could it be that the Fang Family is also searching for the Dragon Pearls?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback. What use would the Fang Family have for Dragon Pearls? They weren’t Dragon Warriors.

The Big Black Dog explained, "It’s not like that. Dragon Pearls can enhance you, but they can enhance others too."

"After finding a single Dragon Pearl, absorbing its power can strengthen one’s physique."

"And if someone could gather all five, it would allow them to break through and become a true Dragon Warrior."

"I suspect the Fang Family is searching for the Dragon Pearls because they want to become Dragon Warriors."

So that was the reason. Lin Xuan finally understood.

His expression quickly changed. Since the Fang Family was also searching, he had to act fast. He absolutely could not let them snatch the Dragon Pearls away.

At this thought, Lin Xuan stopped his cultivation. He gathered his things and immediately left the Ye Family’s estate.

「Outside.」

The waiting crowd was growing impatient. It had been five days. Hadn’t that kid come out yet?

Fang Zimo’s expression was also grim. He had no idea how long his target would take to emerge, and his patience was wearing thin.

The geniuses around him tried to persuade him to give up for now. "Why don’t we leave someone to keep watch? We can always come back when the kid emerges."

Fang Zimo was tempted. Just as he was considering whether to retreat, a figure suddenly walked out of the Ye Family’s estate.

It was Lin Xuan. Fang Zimo was ecstatic. Excellent, the kid’s out! I finally got him!

He said to the geniuses beside him, "Follow him quietly. When the time is right, we’ll strike and kill him."

The geniuses nodded and began to tail Lin Xuan from a distance.

After leaving the Ye Family’s grounds, Lin Xuan soared into the sky and flew off into the distance.

He was on his way to find the Wood Dragon Pearl.

But as he flew, a fine rain began to fall from the sky.

A Spiritual Light flared from Lin Xuan’s body, forming a barrier that kept the rain at bay.

He continued to fly, but it wasn’t long before he stopped, sensing that something was wrong.

The rain was growing heavier, obscuring everything. It was as if nothing existed in the world but the downpour.

"Kid, this is an Array! Someone has trapped you!" the Big Black Dog’s voice rang out.

Lin Xuan’s expression changed. He called out coldly, "Who’s there? Show yourselves!"

"Hmph, so you found us?" a cold sneer echoed from the void. Immediately after, a dozen or so figures emerged from the rain.

They were all young geniuses. Their leader was a handsome man, though one of his arms was missing. It was Fang Zimo.

Seeing him, Lin Xuan paused for a moment. He then glanced at the dozen other figures and realized they were all people he had previously defeated. A look of disdain crossed his face.

"A bunch of my defeated foes, and you dare to block my path?"

"It seems you’re all tired of living!"

"Scram, or I’ll send you all to hell!"

The geniuses opposite him looked grim, but Fang Zimo just snorted coldly. "Everyone, don’t be afraid of him."

"We’ve come fully prepared this time. We will definitely kill this brat!"

Fang Zimo then turned back to Lin Xuan and said coldly, "Kid, I’ve brought a third-grade high-level Spiritual Artifact this time. I refuse to believe you can withstand it!"

"This time, I will have my revenge!"

Lin Xuan sneered. "You dare to seek revenge with a mere third-grade high-level Spiritual Artifact? How ridiculous!"

He completely disregarded the threat.

"What an idiot!" Fang Zimo jeered. "My old Blood Dragon Blade was only a third-grade mid-level Spiritual Artifact, and its power was already immense."

"The Flowing Light Sword I hold now is even more powerful."

"This time, you won’t be able to withstand it."

"That’s right!" the other geniuses roared. "You don’t even have a third-grade high-level Spiritual Artifact! What right do you have to look down on one?"

Lin Xuan replied coolly, "It’s true, I don’t have a third-grade high-level Spiritual Artifact."

"But I have a Divine Sword!"
