Chapter 1541: Chapter 1540 Dragon-hiding Technique

"Boom!"

Lin Dong released his terrifying mental power, directly shattering the illusionary realm created by Qingye Thousand Cranes.

After the illusion had broken, the bone flute in Qingye Thousand Cranes’ hands also fragmented, and he staggered backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He looked at Lin Dong, his face filled with disbelief, and exclaimed, "Your mental power is comparable to that of Heavenly Realm Martial Artists."

"What kind of monster are you?"

Lin Dong laughingly said, "Senior, have I successfully passed the challenge?"

Qingye Thousand Cranes nodded; all his attack methods had been ineffective against Lin Dong.

Physical attacks were all blocked by his Immortal Golden Body.

Using Yin-Yang Technique’s Illusion Technique was also directly shattered by the terrifying mental power of the other party, completely ineffective against Lin Dong.

Though he and his opponent’s cultivation levels were both at the strength of a level-eight Grandmaster, in reality, he was no match for Lin Dong.

He stared at Lin Dong for a long time before saying, "You have passed successfully."

"By the way, I’d like to ask you some questions. Would you be willing to answer?"

Lin Dong said, "Senior, please feel free to ask."

Qingye Thousand Cranes asked solemnly, "What is the current status of our Qingye Clan in the Japanese martial arts world?"

"Has it declined?"

Lin Dong truthfully answered, "The current head of the Qingye family is called Qingye Sanzang, who is known as the top warrior in Japan."

"The Qingye Clan is also the top martial arts family in Japan."

Hearing this, Qingye Thousand Cranes couldn’t help but laugh, "Hahaha, good, it seems the younger generation of my Qingye Clan is indeed talented. With this, I can die without regrets."

With that said, he asked again,

"Kid, what is your name?"

"Lin Dong," Lin Dong replied.

"Lin Dong, let me ask you, are you interested in that concealment technique I used earlier? If you are, I can teach you," said Qingye Thousand Cranes.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong’s eyes lit up as he respectfully said, "Thank you, senior."

Qingye Thousand Cranes waved his hand, "You don’t need to thank me. This concealment technique is called ’Dragon Concealment.’ It was not originally created by me, but by Yangxin Upper People."

"I slightly modified it using ninjutsu."

"You’ve seen its advantages. Once performed, it can conceal you within darkness. Even level-eight or nine Grandmasters can’t determine your position."

"If an assassin learns this ’Dragon Concealment,’ he can easily kill across ranks. A First Stage Grandmaster using this technique can assassinate a Second Stage Grandmaster, even a Grandmaster is not a problem."

"Of course, it is not invincible. Just like when facing someone like you who has cultivated the Immortal Golden Body, even Dragon Concealment is helpless."

Having said all this, he didn’t waste more words.

Instead, he began to demonstrate the concealment technique ’Dragon Concealment.’

Lin Dong followed and learned.

About the duration of one incense stick later, he had already grasped the basics.

"Swish!" After performing the Dragon Concealment, Lin Dong’s body became faintly transparent, and although he hadn’t achieved the same level of ease as Qingye Thousand Cranes, he had indeed reached the beginner level.

Qingye Thousand Cranes saw this scene, and his face stiffened.

"Am I complacent? Are people from the outside world all monsters like this, or is it just him who is a monster?"

"If everyone outside of Dragon Country is like him, wouldn’t the martial arts world be too terrifying?" he thought to himself.

By then, Lin Dong had cultivated ’Dragon Shadow’ to the beginner level, and after mastering it, he temporarily stopped learning.

He could continue learning later!

After learning ’Dragon Shadow,’ Qingye Thousand Cranes couldn’t help but ask, "Are the young people in the outside martial arts world all like you nowadays?"

Lin Dong knew what he was thinking and laughingly said, "Senior, what do you think?"

"Now is the Age of Dharma End, becoming a Sect Master is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. In one province of our Dragon Country, there are generally less than a hundred people. As for becoming a Grandmaster, that’s even rarer, not even one in a province. There are not many in the whole Dragon Country."

"I thought so," Qingye Thousand Cranes said, now understanding that not everyone in the outside world was a monster like Lin Dong.

It was only Lin Dong who was such a monster.

"With your talent, even in our times, you would be an existence that dominated an era. Even Yangxin Upper People couldn’t compare to you," Qingye Thousand Cranes sighed.

At the same time, he wondered why the warriors who dominated the eras all came from their Dragon Country.

Could it really be, as the rumors said, that the source of the Martial Arts World came from Dragon Country?

Lin Dong was about to say his farewells and go upstairs, yet at this moment, Qingye Thousand Cranes suddenly remembered something.

He took out an old secret manual from his chest, which was written in Japanese characters.

Lin Dong couldn’t understand it at all.

"This is some of the ’Ninjutsu’, Kendo, Yin-Yang Techniques and other secret methods of our Yihe Jingye Clan. Could I entrust you to pass these secret methods on to the talented descendants of our family?" Qingye Thousand Cranes said.

Lin Dong nodded with a smile, "Of course, I actually know a particularly talented woman from your Qingye Clan."

Lin Dong planned to take it and find an opportunity to give it to Qingye Piaoxue.

Qingye Thousand Cranes nodded, handing over the secret manual of their Iga Sect Qingye Clan to Lin Dong.

After Lin Dong received it, he then headed toward the fifth floor.

Outside world!

Outskirts of the National Art Pagoda, the Four Elders of the Martial Arbitration Union and Cao Yuan had been waiting ever since Lin Dong had entered the pagoda.

They continued waiting outside.

Naturally, they could not see the specific conditions inside the pagoda, but each time Lin Dong passed a floor of the pagoda, they could see the tower’s lights illuminate.

Now, they saw the fifth floor light up.

Seeing this, Cao Yuan couldn’t help but say, "Our Dragon Lord has passed the fourth stage and has come to the fifth stage!"

According to the rules of the Martial Arbitration Union, once someone passes the fourth stage, they can become the first among the Six Elders of the Martial Arbiters.

Seeing this, Elder Chen, the head among the Four Elders, also sighed in amazement, "Truly it’s the waves behind that drive the waves ahead, each generation is stronger than the last!"

"I should retire and make way for the capable!"

As a level-eight Grandmaster, Lin Dong was able to pass from the fourth stage to the fifth stage, while he could not.

Consequently, in terms of rank, he naturally comes after Lin Dong.

"Perhaps, this is not his finish line. The fifth stage, too many years have passed since anyone last broke through. In the past few hundred years, only one person has broken through the fifth stage! I wonder if Master Lin can make it this time."

That Elder Dong, who had always been friendly towards Lin Dong, couldn’t help but speak out.

Not just him, the others were also curious.

Although they didn’t have the chance to challenge the stages, they all knew that the person at the fifth stage was an extraordinary monster.

Passing the fifth stage was extremely difficult...
