469: Chapter 468: Sword Body, Sword Soul!

469: Chapter 468: Sword Body, Sword Soul!

The other three were more than twenty-one meters tall.

Further back were the golden True Dragon Qi of the Five Great Heroes, roughly about eighteen meters.

Lin Xuan’s pale golden True Dragon Qi measured slightly over fifteen meters.

At that moment, he was fully focused, utilizing the technique Lord of Wine had taught him to perceive and harness the True Dragon Qi within his body.

Under the effect of his secret technique, his body’s True Dragon Qi spiraled and roared, eventually merging briefly with the Great Dragon Sword Intent.

The next moment, his soul seemed to traverse the boundaries of time and space, arriving at a mystical place.

He saw ancient structures ahead of him and an ancient battlefield filled with an aura of age and killing intent.

In the deepest part, a divine sword was thrust into the ground.

On the hilt was a fierce dragon head exuding a wild aura, and the sword body was covered with dragon scales.

However, the Dragon-shaped Divine Sword was broken.

Shocked, Lin Xuan guessed that it must be the Great Dragon Sword!

“The Great Dragon Sword is broken?” Lin Xuan exclaimed, startled.

He looked again, trying hard to see clearly.

But the next moment, the scene abruptly shifted.

Inside a colossal palace, there was an ancient altar surrounded by black rhombus crystal stones slowly rotating.

In the center, an Azure Dragon Illusion sometimes transformed into a longsword and sometimes into an Azure Dragon.

“This is the Sword Soul of the Great Dragon Sword!”

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, filled with shock.

Meanwhile, the True Dragon Qi in his body was getting weaker, and the scenes before his eyes were becoming increasingly blurred.

However, just as the image was about to disappear, he suddenly noticed a figure not far away.

It was a young man in a black robe, exceptionally pale and handsome.

The young man stared at the Azure Dragon Illusion, his lips curling into a sinister smile.

Suddenly, he looked above the Azure Dragon Illusion, frowning.

Lin Xuan was greatly alarmed, not understanding why there was someone here, and it seemed that the young man in the black robe had noticed his presence.

Fortunately, in the next moment, the True Dragon Power inside him disappeared, and all the images vanished.

His body trembled, and Lin Xuan’s consciousness returned, realizing that his forehead and back were covered in cold sweat.

The young man in the black robe had a piercing gaze, as if he could see right through him.

“How did it go, did you see it?” asked Lord of Wine.

Lin Xuan communicated using his Soul Power, sharing everything he had seen with Lord of Wine.

Lord of Wine also fell silent after seeing it.

I know what you want to ask, but I don’t know either.

“Back when I was still in the outer world, the Great Dragon Sword was intact, and both the sword body and the Sword Soul were together.”

“I don’t know why, but the Sword Soul left, and the Great Dragon Sword also broke.”

“I do not recognize that young man in the black robe, but it’s indeed surprising that he was able to find where the Sword Soul of the Great Dragon Sword is.”

“Could he possibly obtain the Great Dragon Sword?” Lin Xuan worried.

He had struggled for so long just for the Great Dragon Sword.

It can be said that the Great Dragon Sword was linked to his future, not only a means for him to become stronger but also his hope to save his family.

“Don’t worry, although he found the Great Dragon Sword, according to the scene just now, he won’t be able to get close to the Sword Soul of the Great Dragon Sword anytime soon.”

“So, you still have a chance!”

Hearing this, Lin Xuan finally felt relieved.

He had to acquire enough True Dragon Qi in this Azure Dragon Society meeting.

He must find out the exact location of the Great Dragon Sword!

The first-tier elimination round of the Azure Dragon Society had already concluded, and next up was the second-ranked True Dragon Genius ranking battle.

The ranking battle, also known as the Challenge Level, ranked competitors based on the amount of True Dragon Qi each possessed.

“From last place to first place, challengers are called out in order,” each contestant had three chances to challenge.

Victories in succession counted as one opportunity.

If a lower-ranked Martial Artist successfully challenged someone above them, they would immediately replace their position.

Conversely, if someone from a higher Challenge Level failed, they would lose their corresponding rank.

Hearing the rules, the 72 Green Dragon Geniuses on the Super Arena felt their hearts ignite, beginning to size up the other contestants.

With only three chances, they had to plan their challenges carefully to gain more True Dragon Qi and achieve better ranks.

Soon, the initial rankings were released.

Among the Four Heavenly Pride, Ba Wuji was still first, followed by the Sword Dao Heavenly Girl, Zhou Jianying.

Third place went to Prince Tianhuo, and fourth to Yan Shan.

These four had the same initial ranks as the previous year, unchanged.

Following them were the rankings of the Five Great Heroes.

Leading the Five Great Heroes and placed fifth overall was Han Fei from the Divine Saber Sect.

Sixth place belonged to Yue Yan, seventh to Lei Zhen, eighth to Ice Spirit, and ninth to Xiao Yaosheng.

Lin Xuan was ranked 29th, the highest amongst the newcomers.

Xie Yijian was 32nd, Xue Yiren 35th, Zhao Xue 37th, Dongfang Xiong 40th.

Yun Hai was ranked 45th.

Due to the severe injuries sustained from fighting with Lin Xuan, Shangguan Hao ended up at the 50th position.

With the ranks announced, it was time for named challenges to commence.

The one ranked 72nd was the first to step forward, challenging the one in the 70th spot.

After an intense battle, he emerged victorious.

His True Dragon Qi increased, and his rank rose to the 70th place.

Next, he challenged the contestant ranked 65th.

However, this time he was defeated.

Although he maintained the 70th rank after the defeat, the True Dragon Qi in him diminished significantly.

He chose to reserve his remaining two challenge opportunities for later use.

Observing this, everyone became more familiar with the rules.

It seemed that successful challenges brought numerous benefits, not only advancing in rank but also enhancing True Dragon Qi.

Failure, while not affecting rank, would reduce the True Dragon Qi.

It appeared that this wouldn’t influence the immediate rankings, but the final rank was determined by the amount of True Dragon Qi one possessed.

Thus, even if one’s rank remained unchanged for now, lacking sufficient True Dragon Qi would eventually lead to a drop in ranking.

Challenges progressed rapidly, and everyone watched carefully, assessing each other’s strength.

As each person could become an opponent in this round, no one let their guard down.

After a short while, Shangguan Hao stood up.

His gaze swept around, and when it landed on Lin Xuan, it carried a mix of resentment and deep wariness.

Fear of Lin Yun had taken root in Shangguan Hao’s heart, making it impossible for him to challenge Lin Xuan again.

For his first opponent, he chose the Martial Artist ranked 46th.

Nourished by the True Dragon Qi, Shangguan Hao’s injuries had significantly healed.

Thus, with his abilities, the battle against the Martial Artist ranked 46th wasn’t suspenseful at all, and he quickly blasted his opponent away.

He then challenged the contestant ranked 43rd and won once again.

Amassing consecutive victories, Shangguan Hao’s eyes sparkled, finding his former confidence.

Next, he set his sights on Dongfang Xiong.

Since he couldn’t strike against Lin Xuan directly, he had to vent his frustrations on Lin Xuan’s friend.

Regardless, he needed to release the malice festering in his heart.

Lin Xuan’s mouth curved slightly; he wasn’t worried about Dongfang Xiong at all, that fellow’s talent was no less than his.

In his view, Shangguan Hao challenging Dongfang Xiong was utterly masochistic!
