Chapter 549: The Second Divine Weapon!
Chapter 549: The Second Divine Weapon!
"What? Not the Ancient Tower?"
"Could it be that Lin Xuan has a second Divine Artifact?"
"That’s impossible."
"What in the world is going on?"
"Hurry up and tell us! I’m dying of curiosity."
The people in the crowd were jumping up and down with anxiety. They were desperate to know the truth, especially the members of the Ye Family, the Wu Family, and the True Dragon Sect, who were the most impatient of all.
"Quick, speak! What weapon does Lin Xuan actually have?" they urged frantically.
Wu Chen spoke up. "Lin Xuan has a Divine Sword."
"It was that Divine Sword that severed the Thunder Sword."
A Divine Sword?
The Wu Family was shocked.
The True Dragon Sect was shocked.
The Ye Family was dumbfounded.
When did Lin Xuan get his hands on a Divine Sword? This is unbelievable! Just how many secrets is this kid hiding?
"Impossible!" an elder from the True Dragon Sect shook his head madly. "How could that kid possess a Divine Sword?"
Any blade called a Divine Sword had to be a peerless Divine Weapon. There was only one Divine Sword on all of Dragon Island: the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword. Could the sword in that kid’s hand be the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword?
At this suggestion, everyone went wild.
The Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword was a legendary weapon. Had Lin Xuan actually obtained it?
They couldn’t believe it. They all turned to look at Wu Chen.
Wu Chen said, "I don’t know what kind of sword it is. It was so brilliant I couldn’t make out its appearance."
"However, I suspect it isn’t the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword."
"As for what sword it is, I have no idea."
Hearing it wasn’t the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If Lin Xuan had obtained that sword, it would be truly heaven-defying. For thousands of years, countless experts on Dragon Island had tried and failed to tame the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword. If Lin Xuan had succeeded, wouldn’t that place him above the entire island? That was a possibility they could not accept.
"Do you think this sword might belong to the Ye Family?"
"The Ye Family? No way."
"I actually think it’s possible."
"The Ye Family has an Ancient Tower, so it’s possible they also have a Divine Sword."
"It’s incredible that the Ye Family has two Divine Weapons."
"I wonder what the true origin of the Ye Family is."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, most speculating that the Divine Sword came from the Ye Family. Since Lin Xuan was the Ye Family’s son-in-law, it made sense that he could have brought it with him.
So that was it. It dawned on the elders of the Wu Family that the truth was now clear. Lin Xuan had relied on a Divine Sword to shatter the Thunder Sword and sweep away his opponents. It wasn’t that their Wu Family’s Thunder Sword was weak; it was that Lin Xuan’s weapon was even more extraordinary.
The Ye Family, however, was completely bewildered. Madam Ye blinked repeatedly, turning to ask, "Grand Elder, do we have another Divine Sword?"
"How come I didn’t know about it?"
The Grand Elder gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "I don’t know either."
The other elders of the Ye Family exchanged confused glances. When had their family become so powerful? If the Ye Family were that formidable, how could they still be a mere second-rate family?
But if the sword wasn’t from the Ye Family, where did it come from? Where on earth did Lin Xuan get a Divine Sword? They were incredibly curious. It seemed they would have to wait for Lin Xuan to emerge before they could ask him.
Curiosity aside, Madam Ye was immensely excited. Lin Xuan possessed a Divine Sword and had defeated everyone. That made him the biggest winner, didn’t it? It meant he would surely get the Dragon Pearl.
If Lin Xuan obtained the Dragon Pearl, he would absolutely soar to new heights. And since he was the Ye Family’s son-in-law, didn’t that mean their family would soon be on the path to greatness? At this thought, Madam Ye couldn’t wipe the grin off her face. It seemed that making Lin Xuan her son-in-law was the best decision she had ever made. Once Lin Xuan came out, she decided she would prepare for his and Ye Qingwu’s wedding. She hoped they would get married on the spot! That way, the bond between Lin Xuan and the Ye Family would be even stronger.
Beside her, the Grand Elder sighed with emotion. One had to remember that not long ago, Madam Ye hadn’t given Lin Xuan the time of day. In fact, she had actively disliked him, feeling he was an arrogant braggart who was ignorant of his own limitations.
But now? All she talked about was Lin Xuan, and she was even proud of him. The change was truly staggering.
「Elsewhere.」
The situation with the True Dragon Sect was the complete opposite. They were not happy at all. Their elders were a mixture of shock and fury.
One elder roared, "Despicable! Shameless!"
"That was an dishonorable victory," another added. "What kind of skill is it to use a Divine Sword? If he has any guts, he’d fight a duel without weapons!"
The elders of the True Dragon Sect were deeply dissatisfied. "Without weapons, that kid is certainly no match for him," they declared. "What is he, anyway? Without that Divine Sword, he’s just a tiny ant. Mo Feng could crush him with a single finger."
These men were voicing their indignation on Mo Feng’s behalf.
Madam Ye couldn’t listen anymore. "What are you people trying to say? You lost, so you lost. Why make so many excuses?"
"If you’re so capable, why doesn’t your True Dragon Sect produce a Divine Sword?"
"What did you say?" The elders of the True Dragon Sect were beside themselves with rage. They glared viciously at Madam Ye.
But Madam Ye just snorted coldly. "What? Did I say something wrong? A weapon is a part of one’s strength. Wu Chen also brought the Thunder Sword, so why couldn’t Lin Xuan bring a Divine Sword? It only shows that Lin Xuan has deeper foundations. You lost, so accept it. Stop making excuses."
Madam Ye’s words were a vicious slap to the True Dragon Sect’s face, driving its members insane with anger.
The members of the other families were also dumbfounded. Damn, since when did the Ye Family become so bold as to challenge the True Dragon Sect?
The elders of the True Dragon Sect trembled with fury. One of them looked ready to strike Madam Ye dead on the spot, while others turned to console Mo Feng.
"Mo Feng, don’t be sad," they said. "You didn’t lose to that kid; you lost to a Divine Sword. You are still the strongest genius."
They were trying to comfort Mo Feng, but their words only made him weep silently.
He hadn’t been injured by the Divine Sword; he had been beaten by Lin Xuan’s fists. He had lost to Lin Xuan in a contest of pure Physique. So, these words of comfort were like sharp swords, piercing his heart again and again.
Unaware of the true situation, the True Dragon Sect elders continued their attempts to console him, all the while endlessly belittling Lin Xuan.
"That kid is no match for you. Without his Divine Sword, you could crush him as easily as turning your hand."
"Exactly! Once your injuries have healed, we’ll take you to challenge that kid to a one-on-one duel."
"Then we’ll seal his Divine Sword and see if he still dares to act so arrogant in front of you!"
The elders of the True Dragon Sect spoke with fierce intensity, as if Lin Xuan would be utterly helpless without his Divine Sword.
Wu Chen couldn’t stand it any longer. He let out a cold snort. "Who said Mo Feng was defeated by the Divine Sword?"
His words left everyone stunned.
Not defeated by the Divine Sword? Then what was he defeated by?
Could it be that Lin Xuan didn’t defeat Mo Feng with the Divine Sword? Was it someone else?
At this moment, everyone was dumbstruck.
Is there another hidden expert in the Ancient Relic?
"Wu Chen, hurry up and tell us! Who exactly defeated Mo Feng?"
"Could it have been Huo Yuner?"
"It’s possible. He’s also a top-tier prodigy."
The elders of the Fire Dragon Sect grew excited. If that were the case, it wasn’t yet certain who had the Dragon Pearl. It was possible that Huo Yuner had obtained it
