The Dragon's Magic Code

Chapter 11 Comprehending the Heavenly Star Painting

Facing Cao Man, who was at the peak of the Seventh Stage of Body Tempering, Lin Yan did not dare to underestimate him. His muscles were impervious to swords and guns.

As he unsheathed his wooden sword, his eyes turned cold, and he let out a low growl.

"Fifty percent strength, Art of Sword-Drawing!

A flash of yellow sword light shot towards Cao Man.

However, the result this time was different from before.

When the sword light touched Cao Man's body, it was intercepted in an instant before it fell apart with a click.

Boom!

Before long, the sword light was shattered into pieces.

Lin Yan's expression turned grave when he saw this.

He hopped out of Cao Man's attack range like an arrow released from the string.

Then, with a tap of his feet, he launched an attack after Cao Man landed back in the arena.

The wooden sword in his hand moved in a strange and unpredictable pattern. Before Cao Man could react, it hit him square on the head.

Crack!

However, a wooden sword was still a wooden sword.

While it may have worked on an ordinary person, it was just a pretty piece of wood to Cao Man.

"Ghost Hand Eagle Claw!" Cao Man roared.

A layer of dark gray fog enveloped his hands and his fingers turned into claws, which glided into the air at lightning speed.

Lin Yan's wooden sword was smashed into pieces.

The wood fragments landed on the ground like a pile of wood shavings. The sight stunned Lin Yan.

Seeing this, Cao Man looked up and laughed. Then he looked at Lin Yan in disdain.

"Good-for-nothings. How useless those guys were before that they lost to you!" Cao Man mocked and sneered.

"Humph, I can crush you with one hand!"

He continued, "Now, show me what you've got and let me enjoy it. Otherwise..."

Lin Yan's expression turned cold before Cao Man could finish. He shot a glance at Cao Man.

"Really? Are you ready to die?"

A majestic killing intent seeped out of Lin Yan's body, stunning Cao Man as he stood in the arena. His haughty gaze froze.

He was stunned for a moment then his eyes filled with shock. After which, he let out a cry, not allowing Lin Yan to attack.

"Ghost Hand Eagle Claw!"

The ghost hand covered with fog slashed at Lin Yan's skull mercilessly.

However, at that moment, Lin Yan had already retrieved the Sky-Cloud Sword from his storage ring. He brandished it and spoke in a low voice.

"Art of Sword-Drawing, fifty percent strength!"

Puff!

This time, the sword light was completely different from before.

An intimidating black sword light shot into the sky, all the moisture in the air around them seemed to evaporate.

With Lin Yan at the center, they shot out in all directions.

In a flash, it broke through the fog on Cao Man's hand, pulverizing it to dust.

It penetrated Cao Man's flesh and bones before he could react.

With one slash, Cao Man fell to the ground, no longer whole.

A broken arm flew through the air, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.

Boom!

The rest of the sword lights hit the eight demon pillars around the Starlight Tower, leaving flat incisions on the seemingly solid pillars.

A gust of wind blew.

Smoke and dust flew from the crumbling pillars.

Everyone was stunned at the sight.

Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped as they looked at the unfolding scene in front of them.

Was this an attack the Fifth Stage of Body Tempering was capable of? It looked like something only a person in at least the Eight Stage could achieve.

Could it be that Lin Yan, who had used the wooden sword earlier, was hiding something?

Was this his true strength?

As the realization hit, all of them began to shiver in fright.

Even Lin Tianyou's lips went pale as shock filled his eyes.

Cao Man's severed hand flew some distance away and landed on the ground while he fainted from the pain.

"Lin Tianyou! Lin Qiaoer! You two have seen enough!"

Lin yan continued shouting, "Get out! We'll settle all our old grudges today!"

He pointed his sword at the second floor where Lin Tianyou stood gaping and looking down on him just a moment ago.

"Lin Yan! Lin Yan! It's always you, Lin Yan!"

"Why won't you die?! Why must you stop me from advancing?!"

Lin Tianyou was bursting with rage, barely keeping it in. He was about to jump down from the second floor to fight to the death with Lin Yan. However, a middle-aged man wearing a long white robe next to him stopped him.

"Tianyou, don't act rashly! We're at the Assembly of Stars and it is within the premises of the Governor's mansion."

"Moreover, that kid's Heavenly Sword Finger Technique appears to be much better than ours. We must find a way to obtain his sword technique before he dies!"

"Someone! Inform the seventh elder to prepare. I will have Lin Yan's corpse and his true Heavenly Sword Finger Technique soon enough!"

The middle-aged man's voice wasn't loud, but his words contained power, suppressing Lin Tianyou's rage.

Lin Yan could identify him with a glance because he was Lin Tianyou's father. His name was Lin Lang, the Elder of the Lin Family.

"Yes, Dad!"

Lin Tianyou could only swallow his anger. However, he was incomparably happy. He even felt a little sad for Lin Yan.

If Lin Lang were to attack Lin Yan, Lin Yan would wish he was dead.

Lin Yan laughed when he saw Lin Tianyou hiding up there on the second floor, not daring to come down.

"Useless trash!" He cursed furiously.

Then he addressed the crowd, "Who's next?"

His shout spread throughout the entire Assembly of Stars. However, no one dared to step forward or meet his eye.

He had defeated the invincible Cao Man with only one move and almost brought down the Starlight Tower.

With such strength, no one dared to face him.

"Haha, good! As expected, heroes are forged young!"

An old man with a head full of white hair stood up. He was clad in purple leather. On his head laid a feathered crown with a seven-pointed star.

He looked at Lin Yan approvingly, smiled, and nodded.

This person was Mu Chen, the Governor of Sun County. He was also the Elder of the Mu Family and was second only to one person in Sun County.

"Greetings to the governor!"

"Greetings to the governor!"

Seeing Mu Chen appear, everyone present stood up and kowtowed.

"Good, very good. It's true when they say every generation exceeds the previous one. I must be getting old!"

"Since that's the case, I shall distribute the rewards that I have promised to everyone!"

With that, he waved a hand, and a red light shot from his arm into the crystal screen of the Heavenly Star Painting above his head.

The restrictions on the Heavenly Star Painting seemed to have been removed in an instant. The original strange trajectory of the stars was corrected in an instant.

"What is this? Isn't the Heavenly Star Painting the top prize?"

Lin Yan was a little uncertain. However, he had enough to worry about at that moment. Everyone around him was jumping with joy. They had already sat down and begun studying.

He couldn't be left behind. He quickly sat down on the arena floor and stared at the shining Heavenly Star Painting. His eyes filled with confusion.
