Upon hearing Lin Xuan’s words and looking at his confident face, the dean paused for a mont before speaking. "I’m not sure if you’re a person abandoned by the heavens or not.
"Let’s take a thousand steps back. Even if you aren’t and you can cultivate, by the ti you reach the Grandmaster realm, Chu Zhongtian will already be a Grandmaster, and he could possibly even have beco a Martial King. The gap between you two will always exist, and it will only grow larger. You won’t be able to catch up to him.
"If you truly comprehend the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist and Chu Zhongtian finds out, he will definitely make a move against you. Do you know why? When you cultivate the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist, the technique will contain a trace of the Serpent Soul’s power. This Serpent Celestial Stele not only possesses the Heart of the Serpent but also the Serpent Soul. However, the Serpent Soul is incomplete; it’s just a fragnt that can only be hidden within the fist technique. But even an incomplete Serpent Soul is extrely precious. The Heart of the Serpent enhances one’s physique, while the Serpent Soul enhances Soul Power. Chu Zhongtian will absolutely not let the Serpent Soul go. He will wait for you to cultivate the fist technique to a certain level, then directly defeat you and extract the Serpent Soul from your technique. At that ti, all the effort you put into cultivating the Serpent Soul will be for nothing. It will all be taken away.
"Do you understand?"
"Thank you for the warning, Dean, but my mind is made up," Lin Xuan said confidently. "Rest assured, Dean. Give three years, and I can surpass him."
At that mont, Lin Xuan’s ambition soared. So what if he’s Chu Zhongtian? So what if he’s the top prodigy? In his entire life, Lin Xuan had never considered himself weaker than anyone, and he was confident he could surpass his opponent.
"Three years?"
The dean nearly fainted from anger. In three years, Lin Xuan would only be a third-year disciple. Even the most elite third-year disciple was only a six-star Martial General, still a great distance from the Grandmaster realm. How could he possibly be a match for Chu Zhongtian, let alone surpass him?
But no matter what the dean said, Lin Xuan seed dead set on choosing the Serpent Celestial Stele. The dean had no other choice. "Fine, fine, I won’t bother with you anymore. If you want to choose it, then choose it," he said.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned a fierce gust of wind that swept Lin Xuan up and sent him to the ninth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower. The dean’s voice echoed behind him, "You have three days to comprehend it. I will co back for you in three days."
After saying this, the dean turned and left. The Heavenly Dao Tower fell silent once again.
On the ninth floor, the top floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower, the fierce wind around Lin Xuan gradually dissipated. He looked around curiously and discovered a tall stone stele standing in the center of the floor—it was the Serpent Celestial Stele. Carved upon it was the depiction of a Serpent, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, so vivid it seed alive.
This wasn’t Lin Xuan’s first ti seeing the stele. He had seen it twice before, but each ti he approached, it would fly away.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan once again walked forward. He simultaneously activated the power of the Dragon Vein within him, and Dragon Power manifested, enveloping his body. Step by step, he approached the Serpent Celestial Stele until he finally stood right before it.
The Serpent Celestial Stele began to tremble violently, emitting a brilliant light. Lin Xuan stiffened. Is it going to fly away again?
The next mont, the rays of light transford into the phantom of a Serpent, coiling around the stele. This ti, however, the Serpent phantom didn’t flee. Instead, it lunged toward Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan was taken aback. In the next instant, he felt the Serpent’s claws grip his shoulders, as if it were hugging him.
What’s happening? Lin Xuan was bewildered. He soon realized that the serpent phantom’s head was nuzzling against him.
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Why do I get the feeling it’s trying to act cute with ?
Inside the Great Emperor Ring, the big black dog started barking. He laughed and said, "Kid, you’re not imagining things. The Dragon Power you cultivate, though weak, is the purest form of Cyan Dragon power. This Serpent, no matter how mighty it is, is still just a Serpent—only half a dragon. In terms of Dragon Dao Power, its quality can’t compare to yours, so it’s trying to get on your good side."
So that’s really what’s happening! Lin Xuan’s eyes widened in utter shock. If the dean were here to witness this, he would probably be scared senseless. The Serpent was a legendary existence, a creature revered by countless people. Yet now, it was fawning over Lin Xuan, trying to curry favor with him. The thought was truly incredible.
"Alright, alright!" Lin Xuan reached out and patted the serpent’s head. "If you’re trying to get on my good side, why not just give the Dragon’s Heart directly?"
Hearing this, the Serpent phantom shook its head like a rattle and then gestured with its claws for a long while. It seed to be saying that it couldn’t give it to Lin Xuan directly. He could only summon it after cultivating the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist to perfection.
Alright then! Lin Xuan sighed helplessly. "Then I’ll just have to start cultivating! Just tell how to practice the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist."
The Serpent phantom let out a roar. Lin Xuan felt a jolt run through his body as his vision blurred. When he ca to his senses, he found that the scene before him had completely changed. He was now standing on a mountaintop, surrounded by distant mountain ranges. A gigantic Serpent was coiling in the sky above.
That Serpent swung its dragon claws, unleashing a series of Dragon Fists. With a single punch, a massive mountain was shattered. With another, the earth itself was torn open. The Serpent then charged toward the sky, striking with such force that the sun, moon, and stars trembled violently.
Lin Xuan watched, completely dumbfounded. What terrifying power. The Dragon Fist carries a destructive force that seems capable of annihilating everything in this world. Is this the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist? It’s too terrifying! Too incredible!
He was srized. When he finally ca back to his senses, he clenched his fists in excitent. He had to master the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist. If for no other reason, its power was simply overwhelming. It could truly sweep aside, shatter, and destroy everything.
Lin Xuan watched carefully, trying to morize the fist techniques, but they were so dazzling that it seed impossible to rember any of them.
Just then, the big black dog’s voice echoed in his mind. "Kid, don’t try to morize the moves. The techniques aren’t important. What’s important is the essence of the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist. Its essence can be sumd up in one word: Destruction. You only need to comprehend the Destructive Power within it."
Lin Xuan felt a wave of enlightennt wash over him. He stopped focusing on the individual moves and instead concentrated on that sense of destructive power. A single punch could shatter mountains, crack the sky, and obliterate the sun, moon, and stars. That raw, destructive power was deeply etched into his mind.
He closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, the phantom of the mountains had vanished. He was back in the Heavenly Dao Tower, facing the Serpent phantom.
A smile touched Lin Xuan’s lips. He had morized the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist. The next step was cultivation, which would require ti to consolidate.
However, the Serpent phantom gave Lin Xuan another surprise.
