Chapter 1107: Chapter 1104: You’re Even Worse Than That Good-for-Nothing Xu Wendong
The next day.
a.m.
Xu Wendong arrived at a spacious venue in the valley, where a stage made of blue stone was set up.
Around it were hundreds of spectator seats.
At this moment, those seats were already packed, filled with numerous members of the Dragon Clan.
However, they were all members with relatively low cultivation levels, having taken on human forms.
Not long after Xu Wendong arrived, Mu Chuan and Yun Zhan also came alongside each other.
Seeing the two, Xu Wendong hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully greeted them, and then followed behind them like a lackey.
"Xu Wendong, you wouldn’t be foolish enough to participate in this competition, would you?" Mu Chuan said with disdain, "You only have a Foundation Establishment cultivation level. In my opinion, don’t waste your time; you won’t be able to get a good ranking solely by that."
Yun Zhan added, "Brother Mu is right. This time there are twelve participants, and it’s said that the weakest among them has reached the Out-of-Body Peak Stage. With just your Foundation Establishment-like an ant, if you participate, you’ll surely become cannon fodder!"
Mu Chuan’s eyes were arrogant, "Whether you live or die is irrelevant to me. What matters is, I don’t want anyone to laugh at Mu Chuan for having a reckless follower!"
Xu Wendong responded with a smile, "Brother Mu, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not here to participate in the competition, but to cheer and support you."
Mu Chuan: "At least you have some self-awareness!"
Time slowly passed.
About fifteen more minutes went by.
Ao Cheng, wearing a gray robe and with one hand behind his back, appeared on the stage.
After glancing at Mu Chuan, Yun Zhan, and Xu Wendong in the audience, he frowned, "Are only the three of you participating in this assessment?"
Yun Zhan replied respectfully, "Senior, I’m not sure what happened."
Next to him, Mu Chuan also had a big question mark in his heart. Wasn’t it said that twelve people would participate?
But why can’t we see the other ten?
Though unaware of the reason, it turned out to be good news for them.
Indeed, although Mu Chuan had Nascent Soul Pinnacle strength, he was not entirely confident in achieving a good result in this competition.
But now, if the others did not arrive in time, they could directly advance and learn the Dragon Clan’s most powerful Nine Dragons Refinement Technique!
Time continued to pass slowly.
In the end, those ten participants never showed up.
Ao Cheng straightforwardly announced that Mu Chuan and Yun Zhan could cultivate the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique.
"Senior, may I also learn the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique?" a slightly nervous voice asked.
The speaker was Xu Wendong.
Mu Chuan also said, "Senior, this junior of mine is with us. Although his cultivation is weak, shouldn’t he also be qualified to learn the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique?"
Ao Cheng looked at Xu Wendong without showing any emotion and said, "Since the three of you are together, young Master Xu is naturally qualified to learn the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique!"
Xu Wendong was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked him.
Although Ao Cheng did not say much, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xu Wendong.
Because he knew that Xu Wendong had surely understood his hint.
The fact that ten people didn’t show up today was undoubtedly due to his behind-the-scenes actions.
How interesting indeed~~~
Coming back to his senses, Ao Cheng said, "Since the three of you have advanced, let me impart the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique to you!"
"Next, please, the three young masters, ascend the stage."
Xu Wendong, Mu Chuan, and Yun Zhan immediately stepped onto the stage, sitting cross-legged under Ao Cheng’s guidance.
Ao Cheng also pinched the spell with one hand, imprinting the training details of the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique into their Sea of Consciousness.
After completing all the preparatory work, he pinched the spell with both hands.
In an instant.
A deafening dragon roar echoed through the sky, like thunder resounding above the Nine Heavens.
At the same time.
Golden dragon apparitions suddenly appeared in the air, each with a distinct form.
Some were majestic, some fierce, some mysterious, each showcasing the Dragon Clan’s formidable power and divine might.
The dragon scales shimmered under the sunlight, and the dragon claws, as if made of gold, were mighty and imposing.
"The Nine Dragons Refinement Technique, as the name suggests, is to withstand the divine might of these nine golden dragons with your physical body!"
"This is a painful and dangerous process."
"If any of the three of you feel afraid, it’s still not too late to back out now!"
Mu Chuan looked passionately at the nine golden dragons in the air and said calmly, "Senior, fear does not exist in my life!"
His tone was calm, giving a sense of unfathomable depth.
Yun Zhan nervously swallowed and said, "I won’t back out either!"
Xu Wendong didn’t say much, just sat there quietly, waiting for the Nine Dragons Tempering Body.
"Then, let’s begin!"
Ao Cheng pinched the spell with both hands, and instantly, a golden dragon roared onto the stage, piercing through the three of them like a rainbow shooting through the sun.
In the moment when the golden dragon penetrated their bodies, Yun Zhan let out a heart-wrenching scream.
The intense pain was unbearable, as if his flesh was being torn apart.
Mu Chuan, with a slightly higher cultivation level, didn’t scream but his face turned waxy yellow and his expression was very grave.
He gritted his teeth tightly, enduring the pain of the dragon’s refinement.
Looking at Xu Wendong.
He appeared very calm, his face rosy, his breathing steady, as if the dragon hadn’t pierced his body.
Many members of the Dragon Clan were astonished by this. Though they were dragons, they had all undergone the pain of the Nine Dragons Refinement when they were young.
Who could have imagined that a human at Foundation Establishment level would face the Nine Dragons Refinement with such calm composure?
Did he, possibly not have any sense of pain?
After about three minutes.
The second golden dragon came roaring, and like before, pierced through the three of them.
Faced with the pain brought by this second dragon, Yun Zhan couldn’t hold on at all.
Even though Ao Cheng had previously taught him the method to cultivate the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique, the intense pain at this moment made his soul tremble.
"I give up, I give up!" Yun Zhan cried out, unable to withstand it, choosing to surrender.
In truth, he knew how powerful the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique was. If it could be fully cultivated, it could provide an invincible physical body capable of defeating stronger opponents in a single strike.
But in the face of life or death, he decisively made his choice.
The Nine Dragons Refinement Technique is indeed powerful, but ordinary people simply cannot master this cultivation technique!
Mu Chuan gritted his teeth, making no secret of his disappointment, "Yun Zhan, you’re truly disappointing. You couldn’t even withstand the second dragon?"
"I never expected you to be inferior to this Xu Wendong, whom I consider useless."
Beside him, Ao Cheng’s eyebrows raised.
A trace of amusement flickered in his eyes.
Are you sure Xu Wendong really is a useless person?
