Chapter 214: Chapter 154: Advancement

In that moment, many eyes turned to watch.

A hint of interest touched Lu Yuan’s lips. ’This is a perfect chance to test my strength after that breakthrough.’

The Cyan Dragon Crescent Saber slashed out, its cold, brilliant light piercing the sea air.

As he raised the saber over his head, a spectral, cyan-gold Sword Gang materialized above him and plunged downward.

A furious power swept through the surroundings.

Its transformation complete, the Evil Flood Dragon reared up and shot into the sky.

Its foreclaws swiped at Lu Yuan, showing no fear of the blade. It intended to meet the attack head-on.

BOOM!

As the two forces collided, a pillar of water erupted from the sea, soaring hundreds of feet into the air.

The terrifying energy spread outward, forcing some of the younger disciples gathered nearby to retreat involuntarily.

Their eyes were glued to the scene, unblinking.

Lu Yuan’s performance exceeded their expectations. His power was simply terrifying.

Just then, a splash of crimson appeared on the sea’s surface. Everyone stared and saw that the Flood Dragon’s claw had been split open, trickling blood.

The sight astonished many of them. After all, no one had managed to injure the Flood Dragon in the previous fights.

Lu Yuan had managed it on his first strike, proving just how extraordinary he was.

"ROAR!"

The Flood Dragon lunged toward the sky, its massive body thrashing, shattering the surface of the sea.

It glared viciously at Lu Yuan as its enormous tail whipped straight toward him.

The jet-black appendage was like a pillar of heaven itself.

Lu Yuan held the Cyan Dragon Crescent Saber vertically at his side, and the spectral, cyan-gold saber image expanded to over a hundred feet in length.

A radiant light burst forth from his body.

BOOM!

The two forces collided, and Lu Yuan was knocked backward, saber still in hand.

The Evil Flood Dragon whirled around, seizing the opportunity to lunge for the kill.

Its black scales gleamed as it appeared above Lu Yuan.

"Excellent."

Instead of retreating, Lu Yuan advanced. After shouting, he planted his feet and swung the Cyan Dragon Crescent Saber at an exceptionally bizarre angle. Gang Qi danced upon the blade, and it faintly seemed as if the light of a sun was shining down upon him.

He collided with the Flood Dragon once more.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The sounds of fierce collisions rang out continuously.

Showers of sparks filled the air.

The Flood Dragon shrieked. It was mainly because the Cyan Dragon Crescent Saber was far too sharp. Backed by Lu Yuan’s Magical Power, each blow felt as if it would split the dragon’s claws apart.

By now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Yuan had gained the upper hand against the Flood Dragon. The realization left them all in a state of shock.

One had to remember that this Flood Dragon was at the Divine Palace Realm, while Lu Yuan was still at the Gathering Pill stage. To suppress it so thoroughly... his strength was truly shocking.

Just as this thought crossed everyone’s minds...

Lu Yuan, it seemed, was growing impatient.

KRA-ACK!

The blade slashed forward horizontally, a shocking arc of light streaking through the sky.

Everyone’s vision was filled with a sheet of cyan-gold light. The power was immense, an unstoppable, crushing force.

CLANG!

The Flood Dragon was sent reeling from the blow, surprise flashing in its massive eyes. It clearly hadn’t expected Lu Yuan to possess such strength.

But by then, his opponent had already flown above the Flood Dragon.

Seeing the massive body falter...

He plunged the Cyan Dragon Crescent Saber down toward the Flood Dragon’s skull.

VMMMM!

The sound of erupting energy resounded.

The blade instantly pierced the Evil Flood Dragon’s skull.

"AARRRGH!"

The Flood Dragon let out a bloodcurdling shriek. Its body thrashed violently, churning the sea into a frenzy of waves.

But Lu Yuan held fast to the hilt, refusing to let go.

An unknown amount of time passed before the Flood Dragon finally went still.

The massive body floated in the air, and Lu Yuan stood upon its head. Blood streamed from the Evil Flood Dragon’s skull, spreading across the water.

An invisible power, as if drawn by the Cyan Dragon Crescent Saber, flowed into the blade itself.

"It’s the Flood Dragon Soul! It’s actually entering the saber! How powerful!"

"So this is Prince Qin of the Northern Barbarians? I’d heard his talent was extraordinary, but I never expected this. And he’s so young! To marry a man like that... it would make being a woman worthwhile," a female disciple whispered.

Her words resonated with many of the other female disciples.

"Do you think this Prince Qin could be the one who reached the summit?"

"No, I heard he only reached the 8,000th step before he came back down. This Prince Qin seems to have cultivated some powerful Body Refining Skill, which is why he’s so formidable.

"Besides, he wasn’t the last one down the mountain back then. He landed before the Divine Light even dissipated. Only an idiot would waste a baptism of Divine Light."

someone countered, and the people around them nodded in agreement.

Clearly, this was the most believable explanation.

After all, deep down, most people don’t want others to be too powerful.

They’ll even find all sorts of excuses to convince themselves.

Especially when someone offered an argument that seemed to have both reason and evidence.

But even so, it was still more than enough to prove Lu Yuan’s talent.

The Crown Prince of Great Yu watched all this with a cold expression. He hadn’t expected Lu Yuan to actually slay the Flood Dragon.

His face burned with humiliation.

Back when Lu Yuan won the tournament in the Dayong Imperial Palace, he could still dismiss him for his weak cultivation, but now Lu Yuan had reached the Gathering Pill stage.

A cultivation level like that could no longer be ignored.

Seeing the ugly look on his face, Prince Polu knew that the Crown Prince’s refusal to accept Lu Yuan had something to do with his own son-in-law, Zhang Zhe.

Although he also looked down on Zhang Zhe, he was his daughter’s husband now, after all.

Besides, he was rather satisfied with Zhang Zhe’s recent performance.

Prince Polu’s daughter, the Zhi Girl, had become even more outrageous after her marriage, but Zhang Zhe remained perfectly dutiful.

He never uttered a single word of complaint; on the contrary, he even covered up the Zhi Girl’s actions.

This point alone made Prince Polu regard Zhang Zhe more highly. He glanced at the Crown Prince and chuckled. "To possess such combat strength at the Gathering Pill stage is certainly impressive.
