Chapter 574: Fire Dragon Barrier! Passed in One Second!
Chapter 574: Fire Dragon Barrier! Passed in One Second!
The people around were all stunned. They had considered many possibilities and speculated about numerous powerful experts, but they never imagined the person to arrive would be a young man. And it was Lin Xuan.
This is too unbelievable!
This kid’s cultivation was so weak—he was just a two-star Grandmaster. How could he possibly get here? How could he be so fast? They felt as if they were dreaming.
Ahead, within the barrier, Master Qingyou and the others turned to look when they heard the exclamations. They were dumbfounded when they saw Lin Xuan.
How could it be this kid? Master Qingyou couldn’t believe his eyes. In his opinion, Lin Xuan was not qualified to be here. A mere two-star Grandmaster like him could not possibly withstand this power.
Situ Hang also frowned. Our speed was extremely fast, and we left Lin Xuan far behind. But it’s only been a few hours, and he’s already caught up. Is his speed really that incredible? This is amazing. How did he do it? What secrets is this kid hiding?
Alliance Leader Tianyang was equally stunned. He hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to not only remain in the Treasure Tower but to have actually made it here.
Truly astonishing. It seems this Young Master Lin is more mysterious than I imagined! But this is good, too. Perhaps I’ll have an additional helper.
"Hmph, so what if he made it here?" Master Qingyou snorted coldly. "This is his limit. He can’t possibly pass through the Fire Dragon Barrier. He’ll be stuck on the first floor for the rest of his life."
Indeed, Situ Hang thought with a sneer. Even we had a very difficult time passing through this barrier, let alone Lin Xuan. His cultivation is far too inferior to ours; he has absolutely no chance of getting through. There’s no Treasure on this first floor. It’s useless even if he reaches the end. He’ll get nothing.
The others thought the same.
The person who had arrived was, of course, Lin Xuan. Without even a moment’s pause, he continued to charge forward. The onlookers were all stunned.
"What the hell is that kid doing?"
"He isn’t stopping! He wants to go straight into the barrier! Has he gone mad?"
"How foolish!" Situ Hang sneered.
Qingyou shook his head. "He’s overestimating himself."
Alliance Leader Tianyang’s expression changed drastically as he shouted a warning, "Young Master Lin, stop! Don’t go in! This barrier is terrifyingly powerful! The Flame Power here is several times stronger than outside! You won’t be able to withstand it!"
However, Lin Xuan did not stop, charging straight into the flame barrier.
This is bad. Alliance Leader Tianyang’s heart sank. Even if you weren’t going to stop, you should have at least put on some Battle Armor! You’re going in just like that, with no defenses? Do you intend to withstand these flames with your raw Physique? What a joke! The physiques of nine-star Grandmasters can’t take it, so how could you possibly endure? Do you think you’re some kind of Dragon Warrior?!
"What an idiot," Situ Hang muttered, shaking his head.
Qingyou burst into laughter. "Vanish into ashes, boy!"
Being defeated by him before was a great humiliation, he thought. Now, getting to watch him burn to a crisp with my own eyes... this feeling is indescribably satisfying.
Alas, the other Grandmasters watching from afar also shook their heads and sighed.
That kid is too reckless. Charging in like that... isn’t that just courting death? An eight-star Grandmaster went in earlier and was instantly turned to ash. A nine-star Grandmaster went in and was severely wounded. This kid is just a two-star Grandmaster. How can he possibly block it? He’ll probably be reduced to cinders in an instant.
As Lin Xuan entered the barrier, he did indeed feel the Flame Power become several times stronger than before, and his body immediately began to tremble.
But so what?
Lin Xuan roared and activated the Myriad Dragon Physique. His formidable Physique erupted with a dazzling light, resisting the surrounding flames.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A world-shaking roar thundered through the air. Lin Xuan withstood the flames. He did not turn to ash.
"Heavens! How is this possible?!"
"He withstood it!"
The people around cried out in shock. This was too incredible.
How did he block such terrifying flames? His Physique is too heaven-defying! What kind of Physique is that?
Alliance Leader Tianyang was stunned!
Master Qingyou was stunned!
Situ Hang was stunned!
Everyone was stunned!
They stared at the scene as if they had seen a ghost.
Inside the barrier, Lin Xuan just laughed heartily. "Second floor, here I come!"
With that, his figure flickered and he shot forward, instantly breaking out of the Fire Dragon Barrier and disappearing from sight.
Alliance Leader Tianyang: ...
Qingyou: ...
Situ Hang: ...
The crowd: ...
Everyone stared, dumbfounded at the scene, their minds completely blank. Lin Xuan had passed through the Fire Dragon Barrier so effortlessly. It was unbelievable! It was too heaven-defying!
「Outside the Treasure Tower.」
The crowd was excitedly debating who would be the first to pass the barrier.
Huo Yuner said, "It must be Master Situ! He’s the top Grandmaster of our Fire Dragon Sect."
You Ruo snorted coldly. "Not necessarily. My grandfather is also very strong. He will definitely be the first to pass through the barrier this time."
"I think it will be our Alliance Leader," someone from the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance chimed in.
They each held their own opinions and argued amongst themselves as others joined the heated discussion. But suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look! That Young Master Lin, he’s also reached the end of the first floor!"
Everyone hurriedly looked over, and an uproar ensued.
"Oh my god, that speed is insane!"
"This guy is truly heaven-defying."
"He was at the very back before, but look how quickly he caught up!"
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would have never believed it.
Huo Yuner was incredibly shocked and envious, but still said, "So what? He can’t pass through the flame barrier."
"That’s right!" You Ruo added. "With his cultivation, it’s impossible for him to pass the Fire Dragon Barrier. He’ll be stuck on the first floor for the rest of his life."
"He’s probably not going to make it," the Tower Master said with a slight shake of his head and a sigh. "Although Lin Xuan has great talent in Alchemy, his strength is still lacking."
Ouyang Aotian, who had been nervous—after all, Lin Xuan had created many miracles before, what if he did it again?—completely relaxed upon hearing the Tower Master’s words.
The Tower Master is a Grandmaster; his judgment is second to none. If he thinks Lin Xuan can’t make it, then he definitely can’t. That kid is finally going to fail. Ouyang Aotian gloated inwardly.
Others thought the same. "What a pity. That kid’s speed is useless. He can only stop at the first floor."
The people from the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance also shook their heads and sighed, feeling sorry for Lin Xuan.
Wan Er said, "Even though Young Master Lin can’t enter the second floor, with his strength, he shouldn’t get hurt on the first floor.
"He should be able to come out safely.
"As long as Young Master Lin comes out safely, that’s all that matters."
The members of the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance nodded in agreement. As long as Lin Xuan was safe, it would be fine. But in the next moment, they were all stunned. They saw that Lin Xuan hadn’t stopped at all. He charged directly into the Fire Dragon Barrier.
The faces of those from the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance changed dramatically.
"Young Master, stop! You can’t go in!" Wan Er exclaimed.
But it was too late. Lin Xuan had already rushed into the flame barrier.
Wan Er was filled with despair. The people from the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance were filled with despair. The rest of the crowd was in an uproar.
"Damn, that kid actually went into the barrier?"
"Did he go in just like that, without any preparation?"
"Too stupid."
"According to our estimates, the flames inside the barrier are several times stronger than outside. There’s no way he can withstand it."
"He’s going to be reduced to ashes."
"Hahahaha, this is great!" You Ruo cried out in excitement. The kid is seeking his own death!
"That ignorant fool," someone from the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance sneered. "Let him burn to ashes."
Huo Yuner shook her head. "Too stupid, and far too arrogant."
This kid is courting death. No one in heaven or on earth can save him now.
Ouyang Aotian was so excited he nearly jumped for joy. Is that guy really going to be reduced to ashes? This is perfect!
The Tower Master stood frozen. After a moment, he sighed. "What a pity. For such a peerless talent to die just like that."
