The Dragon's Magic Code

Chapter 8 Assembly of Stars

"Get lost! Is that how you talk to your master?"

Lin Yan's eyes were cold.

However, the plump Housekeeper Qian was oblivious. He even scoffed at Lin Yan.

"Master? Haha! You're joking, aren't you?"

"If you were still the heir of the Lin Family and had a noble status, you can call yourself my master."

He continued, "If you still had talent and high cultivation, you can call yourself my master!"

"But now? You have nothing! You are a good-for-nothing! Trash! You don't deserve to be my master!" Housekeeper Qian scoffed coldly.

He then waved his hand at the two big men behind him.

"Men, take good care of our master! Show him the way out!"

The two men behind him rolled up their sleeves and came onto Lin Yan.

It was clear that they did not intend to allow Lin Yan off without a fight.

"You think you can defeat me?"

His brows knitted as he pulled out an ordinary-looking wooden sword that wasn't even unsheathed.

He had brought the wooden sword because he hadn't wanted to kill anyone at the banquet.

He would be able to kill a martial artist at the Sixth Stage of Body Tempering if he wielded the sword in his hand with 30% of his power.

He also carried the wooden sword to prevent a disaster should he underestimate the severity of his attacks.

Seeing Lin Yan and his wooden sword, the three people, including Housekeeper Qian, couldn't keep it in any longer. They burst out in raucous laughter.

"I didn't expect my former master to have fallen so far. He can't even afford to buy a real sword so he got a wooden sword instead!"

"You two, hurry up and send him away."

"Yes, sir!"

As the two men rubbed their fists, preparing to show off, the wooden sword in Lin Yan's hand suddenly flashed.

A yellow flash burst out from the blunt blade and swept through the air.

"Art of Sword-Drawing!"

The sword flashed, descending murderously on them filled with sword will.

The two men were so stunned that they didn't even react until blood stained their clothes.

Lin Yan had used a measly ten percent of his strength in this attack. Moreover, he had even held back a little. Otherwise, he would have torn open their stomach, and their guts would be gushing out.

Plop!

They slumped on the ground in shock as they stared at Lin Yan.

Now, they had no strength to stop him from entering.

If Lin Yan had not shown mercy, they would have been goners!

"This is impossible! Young Master Tianyou said that Lin Yan's Elixir Field was destroyed. How can he still possess such strength?"

Housekeeper Qian trembled uncontrollably as a chill ran down his spine. His heart was beating like a drum as he stared at Lin Yan. He dared not stand in Lin Yan's way, not even a little.

As Lin Yan entered the Assembly of Stars, he brushed by the housekeeper and whispered into his ear.

"Open your eyes, dog! No matter how weak your master is, he is still your master!"

"Know your place. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a wooden sword next time!"

His words send shivers down Housekeeper Qian's back.

Inside Starlight Tower, everything was luxurious and lively.

Starlight Tower was divided into two floors, and it was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The sound of cheers and applause reverberated in the room.

On the huge first floor, Yueming Kingdom's Hainan Night-Dragon Incense was burning in the furnace, gentle smoke rose from it.

There were eight thousand-year-old demonic pillars imported from the far North everywhere. They emitted strands of cold air, agitating the body's vitality.

The grand tables and chairs were carved from Landwyrm wood.

Even the bowls and chopsticks used for the banquet were made from the sparkly, translucent ivory of a Rank One demonic beast.

The wine glasses were filled with wine that came straight from the Governor's mansion, a tribute from the palace master of Yueming Kingdom.

But the thing that caught everyone's eye was the flickering ice crystal screen hanging overhead.

It magnified the stars and the Milky Way, presenting them for everyone's viewing pleasure.

Below the crystal screen was a large arena where two people were in locked brutal combat at that moment.

One was a sturdy young man dressed in a black robe with a face full of fury, and the other was a large man wielding a sharp ax. The two of them circled each other, waiting to strike.

"We present to you the Ninth-Fingered Dual Swordsman, Pang Yanshi, and the Indestructible Warrior, Wang Tianmeng!"

Lin Yan recognized the two of them.

He tried to slip in unnoticed, but every one of the hundred or so spectators in Starlight Tower gradually shifted their attention from the arena to him.

"Lin Yan? Why is Lin Yan here? Shouldn't there be someone guarding the entrance?"

"How did he get an invitation? I remember that Lin Yan lost his cultivation to Lin Tianyou's schemes. What is he doing here?"

Even Lin Tianyou, who was on the second floor, gnashed his teeth in anger and cursed when he saw Lin Yan.

"Didn't you say they took care of Lin Yan? Why is he here?"

Lin Qiaoer, who was next to him, panicked. She jumped to explain.

"Impossible. I dispatched Lin Jiao and the others to deal with Lin Yan. How is this possible? Don't tell me..." Lin Qiaoer's expression became ugly when she thought of this. She did not dare to continue thinking about it.

"I don't care how you do it, but get Lin Yan into the arena today so I can watch him die. Otherwise, forget about following me into the Imperial Army!"

Lin Qiaoer immediately paled. She nodded her head in agreement and fixed her vicious gaze on Lin Yan as though she wanted to swallow him alive.

At the same time, a woman in yellow sitting on the first floor surrounded by a group of martial artists gasped in surprise.

This person was none other than Huang Suqiu of the House of Hundred Treasures.

Huang Suqiu had reached the Eighth Stage of Body Tempering, and her guards were either at the Ninth Stage or higher. She should be on the second floor, looking down at the action.

However, the second floor was reserved for talented masters who were qualified for the martial arts competition. If she wanted to fight for a spot, she had to sit on the first floor.

"How unexpected to see Lin Yan here. What is this? His cultivation has already reached the Fifth Stage of Body Tempering?!"

Next to her was a man in a black robe hiding his cultivation skills. He was Peng Jian.

Even Peng Jian gasped when he saw how Lin Yan's cultivation had grown.

Lin Yan had breakthrough two realms in five days.

It was rare in Sun County, perhaps even in the entire Yueming Kingdom!

"Lin Yan is becoming more and more interesting. He might..."

Huang Suqiu smiled faintly, pondering something else.

Lin Yan sat down alone. He picked up the wine in front of him and drank it in one gulp, ignoring what everyone was saying about him.

He had participated in the Assembly of Stars three years ago. At that time, he turned the tide through sheer strength and won first place.

At that time, he made famous the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique, surpassing everyone.

During that year, he barely beat Lin Tianyou in the arena. Together with Lin Tianyou, he was bestowed the title of heir by the Lin Family.

But three years later, everything changed.

He was like garbage in everyone's eyes, a cur without status or strength!

Meanwhile, Lin Tianyou looked down on Lin Yan as if he was a god. He toyed with Lin Yan as he wanted.

"This time, I will relive the legend. I want everyone to remember why I won first place three years ago."

"Three years later, I will prevail again!"
