Soul Emperor Awakening

The Sea-Entry Form was another of the Lin Family’s Martial Arts. Lin Xuan performed it without the slightest hesitation, proving his connection to the Lin Family was not just superficial, but quite profound.

Just as Lin Xuan had said, all those with the same surname belong to one family. Indeed, quite a few Cultivators with the surname Lin knew the first few moves of the Lin’s Staff Technique. This was especially true for those from respectable backgrounds; they would all know at least a little. Since he knew these techniques, the others were left speechless.

In any case, Lin Xuan had chosen to stand with the Lin Family, so what more could they say? At this point, there was no real difference in treating him as a member of the Lin Clan.

"The Sea-Entry Form! Another move from the Lin’s Staff Technique! It’s incredible—so much more powerful than when we use it!"

"We’re not even in the same league. The power is just too immense!"

...

Witnessing the power of the Sea-Entry Form, they were utterly shaken. They had never experienced such astonishing might. They had seen the imperious Cloud-Entering Form before, but the Sea-Entry Form was even more domineering. If Lin Xuan had been wielding a Giant Axe, Mo Yu would have been cleaved in two.

Down below, the blood of the many Lin Family disciples boiled with excitement. Lin Xuan was simply incredible. He completely crushed his opponents; it was an absolute instant kill.

The rest of the crowd was equally stunned. Those who had never witnessed Lin Xuan’s power before now had a true taste of his tyrannical strength. It could only be described as savage—an absolute, breathtaking dominance.

"H-How is this possible!" The Mo Family Elder’s eyes went wide. Seeing his disciple smashed unconscious onto the ground, he felt his heart shatter. He flew over swiftly, scooped up Mo Yu, and glared at Lin Xuan. "You... you were too vicious!"

"Vicious?" Lin Xuan looked coldly at the Mo Family Elder. "Funny, I was just thinking that if I hadn’t dodged, I would have been the one riddled with holes." This kind of scene was nothing new to him. He had only struck so hard because his opponent had revealed killing intent. When that happened, he showed no mercy.

From that heavy blow, Mo Yu was left all but crippled. He wasn’t dead, but he was barely breathing.

The Mo Family Elder shot him a venomous glare but didn’t dare make a move. This was a contest between the younger generation, and they could not interfere—especially since Xu Qianlong was watching with keen interest, showing no hint of displeasure.

The Mo Family Elder could only retreat, flying back down with Mo Yu in his arms, not daring to utter another word. Mo Yu was their strongest young disciple at present, and Lin Xuan had defeated him in an instant. ’Who else could they possibly send up?’

"Anyone else?" Lin Xuan shouted once more, his cold gaze sweeping over the Eldest Prince’s faction.

"I am Mo Sheng of the Mo Family, here to fight on their behalf!"

A member of the Mo Family leaped onto the stage. His gaze was icy, and he wielded a Giant Axe, his presence imposing.

The match had barely begun when Mo Sheng hefted his Giant Axe and swung at Lin Xuan. The massive blade, said to be powerful enough to cleave a mountain, swung horizontally toward Lin Xuan, whistling through the air with a low hum.

Lin Xuan had already gathered his strength. Facing the oncoming Giant Axe, he thrust the White Pupil Rod in his hand upwards to meet it. A domineering aura, like a Giant Dragon stretching across the arena, roared toward the axe.

"BOOM!"

Another Horror Cloud-Entering Form sent the Mo Family disciple flying. The Giant Axe in his hand had been pierced clean through! Not everyone possessed a Spiritual Artifact. Even a Half-Spiritual Artifact was nothing but trash before a true Spiritual Artifact, especially one unleashing the better part of its power.

Mo Sheng was sent flying and knocked unconscious, just like the last opponent. Despite his Cultivation at the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Refining Stage, he was still instantly defeated.

The disciples from these families were generally hovering around the seventh or Eighth Layer of the Spirit Refining Stage. For their age, that wasn’t particularly high. It wasn’t that the families lacked resources; the disciples themselves were simply at that Level. Unless one was a disciple from Qingcheng Mansion, their talent was rarely that astonishing.

Of course, some of these families did have disciples in Qingcheng Mansion. However, they hadn’t sent them, as this competition was considered beneath them. Who could have predicted that a prodigy like Lin Xuan would appear and catch them so completely off guard?

In terms of pure strength, the Eldest Prince Xu Yunxuan’s faction was the strongest, capable of completely crushing the Third Prince’s side. But now, Lin Xuan had thrown their entire plan into disarray.

"Anyone else!" Lin Xuan brandished his White Pupil Rod, glaring coldly at the numerous families before him. He felt no fear. ’Even if someone at the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Refining Stage shows up, I can still take them out in one blow!’

’It would just require using Soul Possession to defeat them so easily.’

"I..."

Another disciple from another family leaped onto the stage, only to be sent flying out of it. Lin Xuan was breathing a little heavily but remained fearless. He stood firmly on the Martial Arts Arena, waiting to see who else they dared to send.

Immediately after, two or three more challengers jumped up, and each was blasted away by Lin Xuan’s explosive power. He was like an unstoppable force sweeping through an army, leaving everyone utterly stunned.

"That’s five straight wins, and he’s still standing! He’s too strong!"

"He’s practically unmatched in the Spirit Refining Stage!"

...

The Third Prince’s faction was astounded by Lin Xuan’s power. His formidable skill left them all in shock. As for the Eldest Prince’s people, they had been beaten into submission.

Seated above, the Eldest Prince’s gaze grew colder and colder. ’Useless trash,’ he cursed his men internally. The urge to eliminate Lin Xuan grew ever stronger in his heart.

At this point, no other families sent anyone up. They had already sent their strongest disciples. As for wearing him down with successive fighters, that was out of the question. It would only bring them further shame, so they didn’t dare send anyone with a low Cultivation. Sending them up would only result in an even easier defeat and would barely consume any of Lin Xuan’s Elemental Power.

Especially since Lin Xuan had been winning with a single move every time. If they sent dozens of people up just to be defeated, what face would they have left?

"Is there no one else?!" Lin Xuan stared coldly at the crowd. He had used up more than half of his Elemental Power, but he had no problem continuing.

The crowd below was silent. They were furious but didn’t dare to speak. Lin Xuan alone had intimidated them all. His strength was truly astonishing.

"Not bad. Your foundation is solid, and your ability to control the Power of Heaven and Earth far surpasses that of your peers," Xu Qianlong spoke up, his eyes narrowed as he said in a deep voice, "Let the competition end here. I am very satisfied."

With that, he took out a box and gently tossed it. It flew straight to Lin Xuan, who reached out and caught it. He opened the box, and nestled inside was a Dragon Blood Pill. This one was much larger than the one he had taken before. More importantly, he could feel the rich Dragon Blood within it; its concentration was far greater than the last.

"This is your reward. I look forward to seeing even greater things from you." Xu Qianlong smiled faintly. He was clearly very pleased with Lin Xuan’s performance, and his reward was generous.

"Many thanks, Great Emperor!"

Lin Xuan accepted it, cupping his fist in thanks. ’The more of these Elixir Pills, the better.’ They could greatly strengthen his body, making him even more powerful. Though his Realm couldn’t advance, consolidating his physical body was more important than breaking through in Cultivation. That was the path to true, steady progress.

The Dragon Blood Pill was undeniably precious, far more so than pills like the Breaking Essence Pill. After all, it had no side effects, and its results were significant.
