Everyone thought Lin Xuan had produced nine sounds. The Star Pavilion Master even remarked, "I estimate Lin Xuan used so kind of Secret Technique to forcibly enhance his strength, which is how he managed nine sounds. Although the result is impressive, it must have consud an imnse amount of his power."
"Just watch. He’ll beco incredibly weak next. He’ll likely be eliminated during the Dragon Ascending Ladder."
Hearing the Star Pavilion Master’s explanation, everyone had a mont of realization. So that’s what happened!
The Third Elder sneered, "Lin Xuan must have been so concerned with his pride that he didn’t hesitate to exhaust his strength just to produce nine sounds. He just wants to use this to prove he’s a top-echelon genius. How ridiculous. The real top-echelon geniuses all conserve their strength. Who would be as stupid as him and use everything they have? Even if he managed nine sounds, he’s still not a top-echelon genius. He’s not worthy."
The mbers of Star Pavilion sneered relentlessly, while others began to whisper among themselves. With Lin Xuan acting so impulsively, it seed his journey wouldn’t be a long one.
Upon hearing this, the people from Wangyue Pavilion beca extrely worried. Did Lin Xuan really exhaust all his strength just to produce nine sounds? What will he do next? Sigh, is this kid too headstrong? There was no need to prove himself like this. Wouldn’t producing six sounds have been enough?
"Yes, I also think Lin Xuan is in danger. He’ll beco weak after using up all his power. The path ahead is probably going to be difficult for him." Thinking of this, everyone sighed again and again.
「On the other side.」
Chu Yue was dumbfounded. What is going on? Who produced twelve Dragon Sounds? I only managed nine! Those nine sounds layering together shook so violently that my qi and blood churned, and I nearly coughed up blood. That was my absolute limit; it’s impossible for to do any more! But I clearly heard twelve sounds... Dammit, who was it? Who produced twelve sounds? The top-echelon geniuses have already started climbing the Celestial Ladder, so they couldn’t have acted again. Could it be Lin Xuan?
She had seen Lin Xuan walk up at the sa ti as her. Could Lin Xuan have produced the twelve dragon roars? Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible! Chu Yue shook her head frantically, unable to believe it. He can’t be that powerful. He’s just a second-echelon genius. The only reason he could extinguish the Green Lotus Fire before wasn’t because he was truly strong, but because he was lucky. Could he be that lucky again this ti? Is he so kind of Child of Destiny? Chu Yue was on the verge of going mad.
At that mont, the purple mist slowly began to settle. Finally, the mist dispersed, and the Dragon Ladder appeared before Chu Yue. At the sa ti, the cheers from the crowd outside reached her.
"Senior Sister Chu Yue, you’re amazing!"
"You actually produced twelve dragon roars! You’ve surpassed the top echelon!"
"Senior Sister Chu Yue, just keep sweeping through the competition like this! The championship is definitely yours!"
The disciples from Star Pavilion were screaming wildly. Even the elders laughed heartily, "Chu Yue, perform well! We have high hopes for you! You are the hope of our Star Pavilion!"
Chu Yue was completely stunned. What is happening? I wasn’t the one who produced twelve dragon roars.
She wanted to explain, but the cheers from Star Pavilion were simply too enthusiastic. And it wasn’t just Star Pavilion; the disciples from Tianyang Pavilion and Purple Mist Pavilion were cheering for her too. They shouted, "Senior Sister Chu Yue, you are the hope of our Heavenly Dao Academy! The glory of the Heavenly Dao Academy rests on your shoulders!"
Hearing these shouts, Chu Yue fell silent. She didn’t offer an explanation, because she was thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being admired by thousands.
Forget it. Let it be a misunderstanding. In any case, with my strength, I’ll definitely achieve a good result in the end. As for that Lin Xuan, he just got lucky and accidentally produced twelve sounds. But his good luck won’t last forever. Once his luck runs out, he’ll be eliminated. Thinking this, Chu Yue snorted coldly and strode forward.
The next mont, she set foot on the Dragon Ladder.
「Elsewhere.」
Lin Xuan sneered. These people are such idiots. It was obviously who made the twelve sounds, yet they think it was Chu Yue? How laughable. Shaking his head, he also stepped onto the Dragon Ladder.
The others continued their test, striking the Dragon Drum. Dragon roars sounded one after another, but most people were eliminated. Only a small portion succeeded in ascending the Dragon Ladder.
Ye Qingwu also succeeded. She had actually produced nine dragon roars, which shocked everyone once again. Even the people from Wangyue Pavilion were filled with surprise and delight. Could it be that Ye Qingwu also possesses the strength of the top echelon? That’s incredible.
The Star Pavilion Master, however, just sneered. "Hmph, another idiot who’s exhausted her strength. Are all the people from Wangyue Pavilion so obsessed with saving face? Using up all their power in the very first trial? How foolish." In his view, Ye Qingwu must have also paid a great price and exhausted her strength to produce those nine dragon roars. Her true power was surely no match for the top echelon.
「Ahead.」
Ye Qingwu was a little dazed. I actually made nine sounds... that’s incredible! To be honest, with my previous strength, I definitely couldn’t have done this. At most, I would have managed seven sounds. But after comprehending the Dragon Claw Stele, my combat power surged forward, reaching an unbelievable level. And now I can actually produce nine sounds. It seems my combat power is already equivalent to the top echelon. This is all thanks to the Dragon Claw Stone Slab! Overjoyed at this thought, Ye Qingwu walked towards the Dragon Ladder.
When all the geniuses from the first and second echelons had ascended the Dragon Ladder, the crowd’s attention shifted from the Dragon Drum to the ladder itself. They wanted to see how everyone would perform in the second trial.
I wonder how many levels they can ascend? Especially the people from the top echelon, what kind of amazing performance will they give? And then there’s Chu Yue. Her strength currently seems to surpass everyone else. Can she set another record?
The crowd watched on, discussing animatedly. Soone asked, "Does anyone know what the highest record for the Dragon Ladder is?"
An elder replied, "In the last 800 years, the highest record for the Dragon Ascending Ladder was set by Chu Zhongtian: 86 levels."
A wave of shock passed through the crowd upon hearing this. It was Chu Zhongtian! No wonder he’s hailed as the number one genius in the Great Xia Country! 86 levels! They looked up in awe. 86 levels was a truly lofty height. I wonder if any of the geniuses this ti will be able to break Chu Zhongtian’s record?
A disciple from Star Pavilion said, "Previously, Lin Xuan boasted that he could surpass Senior Brother Long Tiantian. I’d like to see how he manages that."
"What? Lin Xuan wants to break Chu Zhongtian’s record?" The surrounding people were stunned for a mont before they all burst out laughing.
"How is that possible? Even if Lin Xuan is a top-echelon genius, he can’t possibly break Chu Zhongtian’s record. Not unless he has the strength of a Grandmaster."
"Hmph, he can stop dreaming. He’s just a five-star Martial General. He’s a hundred thousand miles away from being a Grandmaster. There’s no way he has Grandmaster-level strength."
"That kid really is all talk."
"I bet you could give him ten more years and he still wouldn’t be able to break Chu Zhongtian’s record."
Ten years? The Star Pavilion Master inwardly rolled his eyes. He won’t be able to break it in his entire lifeti. What does he think he is, that he deserves to be compared to Chu Zhongtian?
The people from Wangyue Pavilion sighed. They also felt that Lin Xuan had bragged too much before. Now that he was being ridiculed, they had no way to refute it.
But there was one person who had a look of anticipation. This person was Tian Xing. He knew just how powerful Lin Xuan’s true strength was. He’s a Grandmaster! In my opinion, Lin Xuan really can break Chu Zhongtian’s record! But I can’t say that out loud. If I were to say anything now, the Pavilion Master would probably slap to death.
He could only sigh inwardly. What kind of expressions will these people have when Lin Xuan actually breaks the record?
