The Dragon's Magic Code

Chapter 10 Stunned the Audience

Lin Tianyou looked on from the second floor and saw the inexplicable scene.

At that moment, he was shocked and angry. He clenched his jaw, grinding his teeth, a glint of greediness in his eyes.

Back then, when the two of them practiced the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique, he and Lin Yan should have been on equal footing. However, Lin Yan had the Dark Sword Spiritual Body.

He could only resort to treachery, using Lin Qiaoer to approach Lin Yan and cripple his Elixir Field along with his Dark Sword Spiritual Body.

After meticulous planning, he did it! He succeeded!

He did it to prevent such a worst-case scenario from happening. Yet, it still happened.

"What a guy this Lin Yan is. Look at what he could do with a mere Heavenly Sword Finger Technique. I must have the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique he has!" Lin Tianyou sneered.

His eyes flashed with keen light as he smirked.

In the arena, Pang Yanshi took a few steps back before stopping. Uncertainty clouded his features, while his eyes were full of hesitation.

Finally, he sighed helplessly.

"Lin Yan, you are strong. I admit defeat!"

As soon as he said that, hoots and cheers filled Starlight Tower. The audience applauded relentlessly, leading the Assembly of Stars to a giddy climax.

Doubts, ridicule, and contempt for Lin Yan were utterly disproved.

At that moment, only praises and admiration for him existed.

"It seems like Lin Yan came prepared, he did not give up just because he lost his cultivation."

"Instead, it encouraged him to go further. His swordsmanship is beyond my reach!"

"You guys, do you think that Lin Yan will still be able to win first place in the Assembly of Stars?"

"That is very difficult to say. Although Lin Yan's Art of Sword-Drawing is great, there are many renowned warriors here this year."

"There are quite a few of them who are in the Eighth Stage of Body Tempering. So they might win the championship."

"And that isn't even considering Cao Man, the No.1 Ghost Hand, not to mention that Huang Suqiu turned up, she's overwhelmingly powerful as well!"

The crowd chattered non-stop as they surrounded Lin Yan.

At that moment, a woman with a voluptuous figure and a beautiful face came forward. She wore a light, fluttering piece of fabric that could barely hide her exceptional figure.

Some of her intimate areas could be seen through the light veil if looked at properly.

A fascinating pink flush appeared on her face. She pursed her cherry-red lips and said in a delicate voice,

"Lin Yan, I would like to spar with you!"

The woman's flirtatious voice made many men's mouths dry. They wished they could pounce on her and eat her up.

Lin Yan knitted his brows slightly. He merely looked her up and down without much interest.

"You're no match for me with the skills you have, so please leave before I hurt you," He said, rejecting her bluntly.

The lady's charms had not the slightest effect on Lin Yan. She was a little surprised, but his indifference made her vamped up her efforts.

Just as she approached Lin Yan, the wooden sword in his hand flashed and appeared below her neck before she knew it.

A thread of red blood slowly seeped out and dripped onto the ground.

The woman was stunned. Then her face fell and twisted in an ugly sneer.

"Humph! Boring!" She snarled before turning around to leave.

Seeing this, Huang Suqiu laughed from her seat below. She was increasingly curious about Lin Yan.

As soon as the woman's feet touched the ground, a muscular young man with a silver spear tied to his back came up.

"I am the Peerless Spear, Liu Xunzhen. Please accept a spar with me!"

Yuan Qi churned around the man's body. It appeared that he was a top martial artist at the Seventh Stage of Body Tempering.

The man stepped onto the stage. The Yuan Qi within his body was much higher than Lin Yan's.

"Peerless Spear? Liu Xunzhen?" Lin Yan muttered to himself.

He had never heard of such a name before. It seemed that the reward of being the champion of the Assembly of Stars had attracted people like him.

Before Lin Yan could reply, Liu Xunzhen let out a loud cry, "Come out!"

The long spear on his back suddenly slashed through the long cloth tied around it.

With a shout, Liu Xunzhen stabbed the silver spear in Lin Yan's direction.

In an instant, it was like the very air was split open.

The head of the silver spear suddenly turned hot and it burst through the void, blowing waves of air outward.

At the same time, Lin Yan swung his wooden sword.

A roar reverberated through the air and waves of air pushed both of them back.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Liu Xunzhen was forced six steps backward before he managed to steady himself. Unexpectedly, he laughed out loud in glee, shocking everyone there, and jumped up with a cry.

The long spear that kept twirling in his hands formed a silver wheel. Then, a flowery fragrance came from the long spear.

Suddenly, something strange happened.

A plum blossom the size of a thumb sprouted on the top of the spear. It was soon joined by another, and then another.

The smell was getting more and more pungent.

"Peerless Plum Blossom Spear!"

Over a thousand shadows of long spears covered in plum blossoms rained down on Lin Yan. One could not tell whether they were real or fake.

Boom!

A plum blossom suddenly exploded. Sparks flew in all directions throughout the arena, burning through the sky. In an instant, it turned into a sea of fire, engulfing Lin Yan.

"Art of Sword-Drawing!"

Another sharp sound echoed through the air before a streak cut the fire in half.

The fire began to die out as the plum shadows burned into ashes.

When the flames disappeared, Liu Xunzhen's face turned ashen. He looked down at the wooden sword at his neck. Then, he chuckled.

"After cultivating the Peerless Spear for more than 20 years, I thought that there was no opponent under the Seventh Stage of Body Tempering that could beat me. But in the end, I lost to a guy with a wooden sword!"

"I concede defeat."

His words stirred up another commotion as the audience began to chant Lin Yan's name.

"Lin Yan!"

"Lin Yan!"

"Lin Yan!"

Lin Yan had become the center of attention at the competition as more and more adoring gazes and praises were heaped on him.

The more that happened, the angrier Lin Tianyou became. He cursed at Lin Qiaoer, who was standing by his side,

"Are you ready yet?"

"S-Should be soon." Lin Qiaoer stammered as she trembled.

She lowered her head and did not dare to meet Lin Tianyou's eyes.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

A thunderous ring sounded from the platform, followed by a large man coming onto the stage.

It was not an exaggeration to say that this person was a walking demonic beast. He was two and a half meters tall and three heads taller than Lin Yan.

Under the bronze skin were muscles and bones that had gone through tempering a thousand times. Needless to say, his very presence was intimidating.

As soon as the man came up, the crowd burst into an uproar. They were not expecting this.

"Isn't this the No.1 Ghost Hand, Cao Man? Is he going to deal with Lin Yan? It looks like Lin Yan's legend will end here!"

"I don't think so. Didn't any of you see Lin Yan's victory earlier?"

"Brother, don't you know why Cao Man is called the Ghost Hand? It's because his hands have been refined by hundreds of poisons since childhood."

"Now, he is invulnerable and immune to fire and water. I heard people saying that no one in the surrounding three counties can break his defense!"

Cao Man was a little indifferent as he looked at Lin Yan, who was shorter than him. He laughed coldly and mocked him,

"So you're Lin Yan? If I rip your head off, Young Master Tianyou will reward me for sure."

"Now, please die so I can get rich!"

Cao Man leaped and the sheer force of his feet caused cracks to appear on the arena.

"Mount Tai against the Head!"

Cao Man descended on Lin Yan, attempting to crush him into mincemeat.
