The onlookers were stunned as Lin Xuan walked forward. Was he really going to make a move? Could he possibly succeed?
"He actually dares to make a move. He’s got courage, I’ll give him that. But I’d like to see if he can actually succeed," Shangguan Hao sneered.
"You have no chance. I think you should just admit defeat," Leng Rushuang mocked.
"He can’t possibly succeed," Chu Yue said disdainfully.
Currently, only five people have obtained a Clear Lotus, and they are the five strongest individuals here. I am one of those five, which ans my strength is in the top five. I’d probably even rank in the top five of the Hidden Dragon Chart. As for Lin Xuan... he’s just a second-tier nobody, leagues below . It’s absolutely impossible for him to get a Clear Lotus.
However, not everyone thought so. Tian Xing, for example, beca instantly nervous the mont he saw this. He knew how incredibly powerful Lin Xuan was. If Lin Xuan made a move, he was sure to succeed.
Of course, others were nervous too, like Ye Qingwu. She was very worried. In her view, Lin Xuan couldn’t possibly succeed and might even get hurt. Li Qiushui was also extrely tense.
I wonder if the Young Master can succeed?
She stared intently at Lin Xuan’s figure, ready to rush to his rescue the mont he was in danger. As for everyone else, they were simply watching the spectacle unfold.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Lin Xuan stepped into the array and charged toward one of the Clear Lotuses. The mont he entered, the surrounding magma began to boil, transforming into a sea of fire that rushed to engulf him. Lin Xuan snorted coldly and dodged quickly, simultaneously reaching out to grab a Clear Lotus.
The Clear Lotus blood, releasing a ball of fire that floated out to clash with Lin Xuan’s palm, producing an earth-shattering roar. Lin Xuan was thrown back, but he wasn’t injured.
"Is that all? It’s not as powerful as I imagined. How did you all get injured before?" he remarked.
The surrounding people were aghast. So of the injured geniuses were so furious they felt like spitting blood.
Damn it! He’s just slapping us in the face! That kid is detestable!
Shangguan Hao and Leng Rushuang, who had also been injured before, turned pale with anger.
Shangguan Hao gritted his teeth. "Kid, don’t get arrogant. You’ll get hurt too."
Leng Rushuang also ground her teeth. "You can mock us after you succeed, but you won’t get the chance."
"Is obtaining a Clear Lotus supposed to be difficult? For , it’s simple. Open your eyes and watch how I seize it!"
Leng Rushuang and Shangguan Hao rolled their eyes, thinking Lin Xuan was all talk. Even the first-tier geniuses furrowed their brows. Although they had also obtained a Clear Lotus, it was only after a fierce, hard-fought battle. It had been an incredibly difficult process, not at all as effortless as Lin Xuan made it sound.
An ignorant fool who doesn’t know his own limits. I’d like to see how you obtain it so ’easily,’ Wan Tianming snorted inwardly.
Jian Wushuang shook his head. He’s nothing but a buffoon.
Chu Yue frowned and snapped, "Lin Xuan, get back here! Don’t disgrace the Heavenly Dao Institute!"
Lin Xuan ignored them and struck again, thrusting his palm forward. Dragon scales materialized, covering his hand until it resembled a Dragon Claw reaching for the Clear Lotus. The lotus trembled rapidly, once again firing a ball of fla to et the claw. This ti, however, it failed to block the attack. The Dragon Claw was unstoppable. It tore through the azure flas and closed around the Clear Lotus. With a clean pluck, Lin Xuan had seized it.
The entire process was incredibly fast, taking place in the blink of an eye. The entire crowd was in an uproar.
"Heavens, what did we just see?"
"Lin Xuan got a Clear Lotus in a single move!"
"Is that for real?"
"I must be dreaming!"
"You’ve got to be kidding! How could he get it so easily?"
"It took Wan Tianming and Jian Wushuang a full hour to get theirs!"
"And Lin Xuan just waved his hand and got one?"
"Did that even take five seconds?"
"Damn, this is just too unreal!"
"He’s too heaven-defying!"
The second-tier geniuses were dumbstruck. The minds of the first-tier geniuses went blank. The other peerless prodigies who had obtained a Clear Lotus were also frozen in place. Wan Tianming could no longer smile. Jian Wushuang was stunned. Yan Chitian drew in a sharp breath. The other top geniuses all stared intently at Lin Xuan, unable to believe their eyes.
Chu Yue’s expression beca incredibly ugly. Previously, she had looked down on Lin Xuan, even thinking he was a disgrace to the Heavenly Dao Institute. But now, he had obtained a Clear Lotus in a single move, shocking everyone present. She had been thoroughly and publicly humiliated. His performance completely surpassed hers—it surpassed everyone’s!
And I dared to underestimate a person like that? How idiotic. How blind I was.
Chu Yue’s face burned with sha.
Damn it! How can this kid be so strong? she thought, nearly grinding her teeth to dust. She couldn’t accept it.
No, I can’t let him beat . I must surpass him. I still have a chance! I have the Dragon Claw Stone Slab! I will comprehend it and surpass this Lin Xuan! Chu Yue scread inwardly.
Shangguan Hao and Leng Rushuang were frozen to the spot, their bodies trembling with utter terror. They had just been ridiculing Lin Xuan, but now he had also obtained a Clear Lotus. This ant his strength had already surpassed the second tier and reached the first. They had been mocking a first-tier genius! Wasn’t that courting death? The thought alone was enough to make them nearly faint from fear.
The Young Master is amazing! Li Qiushui was overco with shock. So he wasn’t boasting after all! Everything he said was true!
Ye Qingwu was equally stunned. Lin Xuan did it again. He created another miracle! Incredible! Just how strong is this kid?
Tian Xing let out a low growl upon witnessing the scene. This is how it should be. Lin Xuan really is the strongest. None of these people are his match!
Within the array, Lin Xuan ignored the crowd’s shock and lowered his head to look at the Clear Lotus in his hand.
He asked, "Big Black Dog, have you figured out the real situation?"
"So that’s how it is," the Big Black Dog said. "I get it now. Kid, the fla in your hand isn’t an Anomalous Fire."
Lin Xuan was stunned. What? Not an Anomalous Fire? Was I deceived? Is there no Anomalous Fire here? Why would the Celestial King’s Mansion trick us?
"The Celestial King’s Mansion didn’t deceive you," the Big Black Dog continued. "There is indeed an Anomalous Fire here, but it’s not the one in your hand, nor in anyone else’s. The true Anomalous Fire is deep within this magma. It’s hidden. These nine Clear Lotuses floating on the surface are actually accompanying lotuses. They appeared along with the Anomalous Fire and are rely supre-grade Spiritual Fires.
"These nine accompanying lotuses, combined with the power of Fla Mountain, have ford an unparalleled array that guards the true Earth’s Core Fire of the Clear Lotus, making it impossible for the Celestial King’s Mansion to seize it. To break the array, one must first collect these nine lotuses. The Celestial King’s Mansion is actually using all of you to break their array for them!"
So that’s how it is! Lin Xuan now understood. In that case, I can’t let the Celestial King’s Mansion succeed.
Thinking this, Lin Xuan announced in a loud voice, "Humph! I was wondering why it was so easy. It turns out this isn’t an Anomalous Fire at all!"
His words caused the entire crowd to freeze in shock.
