Chapter 1892 (Raw 1993): Supreme Dragon Fist
Heavenly Dragon Pavilion, Martial Technique Pavilion:
The first and second floors were bustling. People were practically everywhere.
There were many people in the outer hall. The numbers were shocking.
When Xiao Chen reached the third floor, the numbers started to decline. Only inner palace disciples could come up here.
Even so, the numbers were in the thousands. Actually, there were quite a lot of inner palace disciples. This was just the tip of the iceberg.
This clearly showed how exceptionally intense and cruel the competition was among the Divine Dragon Empire’s mixed-blood dragon bloodlines.
“Xiao Chen!”
Suddenly, a familiar voice attracted Xiao Chen’s attention.
When Xiao Chen looked over, he saw that it was Tang Dan, Deng Yun, and the others whom he had met in the desert.
The one who called out to Xiao Chen was Deng Yun.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was about to go up to the fourth floor. He felt somewhat stunned when he turned his head back and saw that group.
“These people are very rude. To think that they did not even address you as Senior Brother. Senior Brother Xiao, do you know them? If you do not, I’ll help you chase them away,” the disciple guiding Xiao Chen said.
Xiao Chen pondered. Time was precious. Honestly speaking, he did not need to waste time on this.
However, it was indeed rare to meet each other in the Martial Technique Pavilion, given the vastness of the Heavenly Dragon Palace.
If Xiao Chen did not go over and chat for a moment, turning away and leaving, he might never meet them again.
“Wait for me for a while,” Xiao Chen instructed softly. Then, he walked over and nodded to the group.
Deng Yun and the others were all stunned, speechless with stupefaction.
Core disciple! Core disciple!
These words filled their hearts, dominating their minds for a while. Two months ago, Xiao Chen was that weak, white-clad youth in the desert.
When the group met him again, he was actually already a core disciple.
The sect rules were very strict. Without being a core disciple, one would not be qualified to enter the fourth floor at all. Furthermore, Xiao Chen had someone leading the way. That verified his identity.
Among the group, Deng Yun was frightened silly. He thought about how he once wanted to kill Xiao Chen.
Then, he thought about the status and authority a core disciple had in the sect. Horror spread in his heart, and he trembled involuntarily.
“Xiao Chen, no, Senior Brother Xiao, we…”
Deng Yun could not complete his sentence. He could not say anything, unable to express what he wanted.
“There is no need to have any ill feelings towards me.” After pointing at that fair-skinned disciple, Xiao Chen commanded quietly, “You, come over. Help me to pass on a message. Let them stay on the floor for double their allocated time.”
“Yes, Senior Brother.”
That person was also rather wise. He knew about the status that core disciples had, so he promptly went to pass on the message.
Core disciples represented status, position, and authority.
In the entire Heavenly Dragon Palace, there were several million outer palace disciples and more than one million inner palace disciples. However, there were less than one thousand core disciples.
The height of its status was evident.
If an inner palace disciple could take one more step forward and become a core disciple, they would have authority akin to an inner palace Elder’s.
When the other inner palace disciples on the third floor saw this scene, they all looked at Tang Dan’s group with envy for actually having a connection with a core disciple.
While it seemed like inner palace disciples differed from core disciples by only one level, the difference was stark. The sect had millions of people, but only one thousand were core disciples. This showed how difficult it was to become a core disciple.
“Many thanks, Senior Brother Xiao.”
Deng Yun and the others immediately rejoiced in their hearts. Then, they relaxed, no longer as tense as they were earlier, quickly giving thanks.
“Congratulations.”
A strange look flashed in Tang Dan’s eyes. However, she soon calmed down. She had long guessed that Xiao Chen would become a core disciple.
However, she had not expected him to do it this fast.
“You are too polite.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and took his leave.
He did not owe this group anything. He had given them a Heavenly Fox’s Beast Core and a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Herb. That was already sufficient payment.
After Xiao Chen chatted with the group, no one in the inner sect would dare to offend them without careful consideration first, whether it was worth offending a core disciple as well. So, Xiao Chen could be considered to have helped them once more.
“Senior Brother Xiao, take care.”
That blue-clad disciple who had gone to pass on the message quickly gave chase when he saw Xiao Chen leaving.
Tang Dan and the others stared blankly after Xiao Chen, feeling listless for a long time.
The same journey but different paths. These words appeared in Tang Dan’s mind once more.
--
There were very few people on the fourth floor.
When these people saw Xiao Chen enter, some shock flashed in their eyes, and their gazes lingered on him for a while.
Right now, the old core disciples knew that ten people had directly entered the sect as core disciples. The story of Xiao Jinyu and the others already spread in their circles.
This was especially so for Xiao Chen since he managed to catch Xiao Jinyu’s sword with two fingers, astonishing everyone.
All the core disciples also knew about Xiao Chen declaring in public that Elder Tian Yun picked the wrong person.
Proud and unruly. Many people admired this boldness.
Several people took the initiative to come and greet Xiao Chen, wanting to form a friendship.
Xiao Chen did not mind these people trying to worm their way into a friendship with him. However, he did not have time to waste at the moment, so he only nodded slightly and did not say much.
“Senior Brother Xiao, which zone do you want to go to? The fourth floor’s Martial Techniques encompass every aspect—Movement Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Techniques, and various Secret Techniques. Each category is also subcategorized by their attributes. Senior Brother, do tell me about your situation. I can help you save some time.”
Xiao Chen nodded. This was exactly what he needed. “Let’s go take a look at lightning-attributed Movement Techniques first.”
“This way.”
After a while, Xiao Chen arrived before an ancient stone wall, which had holes bored into it.
Each hole had a restriction on it. Jade strips floated before the restrictions.
“Senior Brother Xiao, your soul imprint is already in your identity token. You just need to send in your soul energy to know the contents in the jade strip. The jade strip only has a rough introduction. If you are interested, you can take the jade strip and exchange it for a copy of the secret manual with the administrator.”
That is rather convenient, Xiao Chen thought to himself and started looking around.
“Wing Thunder Step. The lightning attribute is the main attribute and the wind attribute is supplementary. It can result in speeds even faster than lightning. It excels in sudden bursts. When using this Movement Technique, one can use the mysterious phenomenon to attack the enemy. Its difficulty lies in the high requirement in comprehension ability. When cultivating it, one needs to capture lightning, which is dangerous…”
“Divine Lightning Transformation, a Movement Technique that is purely lightning attributed. One needs to seek out a strand of Divine Lightning before one can cultivate it…”
“Electric Light Evasion, a combination of the light attribute and lightning attribute. It took inspiration from the Great Sun Divine Flame and the rumbling lightning under the light of the dazzling sun. As the light flashes, one moves five thousand kilometers…”
After a while, Xiao Chen finished reviewing ten-odd lightning-attributed Movement Techniques. Then, he chose one of the jade strips.
The Movement Technique recorded in the jade strip was called Light of Freedom, a Movement Technique that was purely lightning attributed. The so-called light was pure electric light. It did not have much of a connection to light-attributed energy.
“Senior Brother Xiao, pardon my directness.”
Seeing Xiao Chen choosing this Movement Technique, the blue-clad disciple beside Xiao Chen said softly, “This Light of Freedom is merely Medial Grade Earth Ranked. It does not have much potential. You should go for a Peak Earth Ranked one.”
“It’s fine.”
Xiao Chen smiled but did not explain anything.
He did not want this Light of Freedom to practice it but to supplement his Thunder Dragon Steps.
“Bring me to the place for Fist Techniques. I’m looking for Fist Techniques focused mainly on Vital Qi.”
Xiao Chen needed a Fist Technique to bring out his advantage in Vital Qi. Otherwise, it would be a waste of his Vital Qi.
He had been directly circulating his Vital Qi and punching with thirty Cauldron Force. That was simply like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
“Senior Brother Xiao, speaking of Vital-Qi-focused Fist Techniques, there is a Fist Technique that practically seems tailor-made for you.”
Clearly, the blue-clad disciple had heard the story of Xiao Chen using thirty Cauldron Force to defeat a Holy Venerate in ten punches and hence his suggestion.
“Oh, bring me over to take a look.”
Soon, the blue-clad disciple brought Xiao Chen to a stone wall. Then, he pointed to the highest hole. “The Fist Technique in that jade strip is called the Supreme Dragon Fist. It was said to be created by a supreme Heavenly Dragon senior. It rivals a Heavenly Ranked Martial Technique, boundless imposing and greatly tyrannical. Unfortunately, my Heavenly Dragon Palace has not produced a core disciple that cultivated the physical body in the past millennium. Many people were tempted by it but had to give up due to its stringent requirements.”
Supreme Dragon Fist! This name truly sounds very tyrannical.
“The vast and mighty group of dragons wanders the world, entering the sky and the sea. Who is honored? The group of dragons is leaderless in the four seas and eight cardinal directions. The world is unfair, and the evil dragon rules. Why is he honored? Fate is unfavorable; life is like paper…what is supreme? In the entire world, only I am honored.”
When Xiao Chen used his Spiritual Sense to scan the jade strip, he felt shocked. This Fist Technique was tailor-made for mixed-blood dragon bloodlines. The cultivators of the other bloodlines had no way of cultivating it.
For the past ten thousand years, no one had succeeded in cultivating it.
Aside from needing one’s physical body to be excellent, the even more stringent requirement was the tyranny transformed from an overwhelming hatred contained in the Fist Technique.
This was a Fist Technique created by a mixed-blood dragon cultivator who was extremely dissatisfied with the Divine Dragon Empire’s current situation.
The resentment was overly rebellious and violent. If one used one’s boldness, determination, and pride to suppress this resentment, one would end up in a state of Berserking Qi Deviation.
Clearly, this blue-clad disciple before Xiao Chen did not understand it much.
This disciple did not understand the profoundness, great terror, and vast danger that this Supreme Dragon Fist contained. It was no weaker than the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art.
Even Xiao Chen hesitated when he stood before the stone wall.
Should I choose this or not?
The group of dragons is leaderless in the four seas and eight cardinal directions. The world is unfair, and the evil dragon rules. Why is he honored?
If Xiao Chen hastily practiced this Fist Technique, it would probably kick up a huge commotion. This Fist Technique hid a dissatisfaction with the current rulers of the Dragon Race.
It could simply be described as subversive.
