Chapter 576: Thunderfire Bodhi!
Chapter 576: Thunderfire Bodhi!
It had been five days, and Lin Xuan still hadn’t made a move. To everyone watching, it seemed he had reached his limit. But just then, Lin Xuan suddenly moved. His action drew gasps of surprise from the crowd. He rushed forward at a swift pace, reaching the end of the second layer in no time and instantly entering the third.
The entire audience was stunned; everyone was dumbfounded. You Ruo’s eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of her head. Her face burned with humiliation; she had been harshly slapped in the face once more!
How can this be happening? You Ruo was going crazy. What is with this brat? Wasn’t he already at his limit? How can he still enter the third layer?
Not only could You Ruo not understand, but neither could Huo Yuner. Ouyang Aotian was just as baffled. In fact, nobody understood.
Only the people from the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance erupted in excited cheers. Wan Er laughed and said, "Haha, I knew it! Young Master Lin was sure to create a miracle." They were ecstatic.
After reaching the third layer, the projection of Lin Xuan halted again, standing there motionless. The crowd’s expressions turned strange. This time, even You Ruo didn’t dare to mock him. Who knew if he would suddenly burst forth again? If she was slapped in the face once more, she would truly lose all face.
The members of the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance were discussing the matter. "What exactly is Young Master Lin doing?"
"Why does he wait so long before taking action?"
Wan Er shook her head, as she didn’t know what Lin Xuan was up to either. However, she believed that he would definitely set off again. When he did, he would surely create another miracle.
「Inside the tower. The third layer.」
When Lin Xuan arrived, he was shocked once again. He discovered that the flames here were different. This time, thunder swirled around the flames—it was thunder fire! The flames alone were already terrifying, and thunder carried a destructive power. The combination of the two was even more frightening. The Thunder Fire Power far exceeded that of the previous two layers.
Even though Lin Xuan’s Physique had improved significantly, he still felt a great sense of crisis here. But he wasn’t worried at all; instead, he was thrilled. Excellent! The stronger the flames here, the better the effect on my Physique tempering. He then began to absorb the Thunder Fire Power to temper his body.
「On the other side.」
Situ Hang and the others had already entered the fourth layer, leaving everyone else far behind. This development shocked the spectators outside immensely.
Huo Yuner smiled. Excellent, it seems Elder Situ is in the lead.
You Ruo was also thrilled. Grandpa has entered the fourth layer! Hmph! So what if that Young Master Lin entered the third? He’s still been surpassed by Grandpa. There’s absolutely no way that guy can enter the fourth layer. In the end, this brat will still lose to Grandpa. Thinking of this, You Ruo’s mood brightened.
Wan Er glanced at her rival and chuckled. "Don’t be so smug. You’ll just end up being slapped in the face again."
"Hmph, that brat is already behind! I don’t believe he can make a comeback this time," You Ruo retorted.
「In the blink of an eye.」
Another five days passed. Lin Xuan remained motionless.
By now, Lin Xuan was pale and stained with blood. Even his Dragon Scales had cracked. It was evident that the Thunder Fire Power was even more terrifying than he had imagined. His Physique had actually cracked open again, and blood stained his body red. But gradually, a new power erupted from within him. The newly grown Dragon Scales shone even more brightly, and an even more fearsome aura emanated from him.
When Lin Xuan’s body healed once more, he felt his strength was even more formidable than before. Previously, it was equivalent to the late Eight-star level. Now, Lin Xuan felt he was invincible at the Eight-star level. This meant that in a contest of pure Physique, no Eight-star Grandmaster was his match.
This made Lin Xuan extremely delighted. Excellent, I’ve finally reached this step!
At this moment, the big black dog said, "Kid, congratulations on finally becoming invincible at the Eight-star level. But this isn’t the limit yet. Your Myriad Dragon Body hasn’t reached its limit. It’s still lacking something."
Still not at the limit? Lin Xuan closed his eyes and carefully sensed his condition for a moment. He then opened his eyes and nodded. It’s true.
Although he was now invincible at the Eight-star level, he felt his Physique could still be improved. When it was enhanced further, that would be the new limit. At that point, he wouldn’t just be invincible at the Eight-star level; he could sweep through a whole group of Eight-star Grandmasters.
However, reaching that point wasn’t easy. The Thunder Fire Power on this third layer, at least, wasn’t enough to help him reach his limit. It seemed he had to go to the fourth layer. Thinking of this, Lin Xuan set off. His figure flickered and, once again turning into a gust of wind, he rushed forward.
「Outside.」
The crowd had continued to wait patiently for five days. They found that Lin Xuan hadn’t moved at all during this time, and many people began to discuss it. Even those from the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance began to sneer again. Perhaps this time, the kid really has reached his limit.
But on the sixth day, Lin Xuan moved again, with the same blistering speed as before.
This drove the members of the Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance crazy. Damn it, what’s with this kid? This is too bizarre!
You Ruo’s face was grim; luckily she hadn’t mocked him, or she would have been slapped in the face again.
The others exclaimed as well. "Damn, Young Master Lin is moving again!"
"Could he actually reach the fourth layer?"
"No way. The fourth layer is even more challenging. Only a handful of people can get in."
"Everyone else is stuck on the third layer."
"I reckon only a Nine-star Grandmaster could enter the fourth layer."
"There’s absolutely no way this kid can get in."
"Hey, look! He stopped!"
Suddenly, the crowd noticed that Lin Xuan’s projection halted midway through the level. Everyone was puzzled. Why did he stop again? Has he really reached his limit? Looks like this is the end of the line for him.
As the crowd discussed this, inside the Treasure Tower, Lin Xuan had indeed come to a stop. He stopped because something had changed up ahead. In the middle of the thunder fire, a large tree had appeared. It was surrounded by countless thunder flames, which enveloped it like a barrier.
A few Eight-star Grandmasters were jointly attacking the tree. Under normal circumstances, these Grandmasters wouldn’t have been able to reach the third layer, but they all possessed powerful trump cards. They had either a fourth-grade Battle Armor or a fourth-grade Array—extraordinary Treasures capable of forming powerful defenses. They had relied on these Treasures to get here.
What are they attacking? Lin Xuan was very curious. His gaze swept past the group and fell upon the thunder fire tree ahead. He found some fruits growing on it. They were the size of grapes, crystal clear, and glowing with the light of thunder and fire. What are these?
The big black dog said, "Those are Thunderfire Bodhi. That’s a Bodhi Tree. This Thunderfire Bodhi is an extremely precious Treasure of Heaven and Earth. Especially this Bodhi Tree; growing here, it has absorbed the very essence of the Thunder Fire Power. If you can obtain a Thunderfire Bodhi and eat it, it might just push your Myriad Dragon Body to its limit."
Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up instantly. He had originally thought he would have to enter the fourth layer to push his Physique to its limit. He never expected to find a Treasure capable of doing so right here on the third layer. If that’s the case, what am I waiting for? I must obtain the Thunderfire Bodhi!
The big black dog continued, "Kid, don’t mind those people. They can’t get the Thunderfire Bodhi. That’s because they aren’t members of the Dragon Race, nor are they Dragon Warriors. Only you can obtain the Thunderfire Bodhi. You could even say this Treasure was specifically prepared for you."
So that’s how it is. Lin Xuan smiled upon hearing this and walked forward.
Ahead, the faces of the several Eight-star Grandmasters were grim. They had been attacking for several days but still couldn’t break through the Thunderfire Barrier. It seemed they had no chance. Continuing would be futile. Never mind, let’s give up. They had been here for so many days and had found this Treasure with great difficulty, but they could only look at it helplessly. Shaking their heads, they decided to give up.
Just then, a figure rushed past them toward the front. Someone else is here? Who is it? The group turned to look. They were shocked to see it was Lin Xuan. That kid!
"Damn, his cultivation is so weak. How did he get here?"
"He must be relying on an Anomalous Fire."
"I heard he has an Anomalous Fire. He must have used that fire to get this far."
"So that’s how it is. This kid is pretty lucky."
"Without that Anomalous Fire, he wouldn’t be able to take a single step in here."
"So what if he got here? He’ll only be able to watch the Treasure, unable to break the Thunderfire Barrier."
"Exactly." The Grandmasters shook their heads and sighed. One of the Eight-star Grandmasters said, "Kid, don’t waste your energy. The four of us have been attacking it for five days and couldn’t break it. I think even a Nine-star Grandmaster wouldn’t be able to break it."
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "You can’t get it because you lack the ability. I’m different. I can obtain it. This Treasure is destined for me. It was born to be mine!"
