X-Dragon Era

"Slap!" With a fierce slap on the dragon-encrusted case in front of him, Xin Yun sprang to his feet and declared loudly, "Excellent, since you have all provided such formidable martial techniques, I cannot be the only one who offers nothing. Thus, the participants of this battle, apart from mastering the Demonic Dragon Disintegration Technique and the Blood Killing Technique, will also learn the most powerful offensive martial technique possible for a human!"

"What!" The crowd was shocked once again upon hearing Xin Yun's words. The strongest, and not only that, but an offensive martial skill—it seemed an overstatement beyond measure.

The Demonic Dragon Disintegration Technique is very powerful, and the Blood Killing Technique is also quite perverse, but strictly speaking, both are considered auxiliary combat methods, and not really martial skills. Yet, the attack that Xin Yun was about to teach was not only offensive, but a martial skill—and one he dared to claim as the strongest attack possible for an individual! The implication was clear: for the same individual, there would be no other martial skill that could match its power.

In the face of Xin Yun's bold claim, every member was dumbfounded, while the other four leaders of the Five Great Heads began to worry in secret. The statement was simply too grand; countless martial techniques existed in the world, and none had dared to claim supremacy. However, Xin Yun had made the claim, and he was going to teach it to everyone. If he failed to deliver, his authority as the Sect Leader would be undermined.

But conversely, if Xin Yun could truly deliver, the advantages would be immense. A Sect Leader who possessed the world's mightiest martial technique would undoubtedly become an object of universal admiration. If Xin Yun actually achieved this, his status would soar to terrifying heights.

Facing the doubtful gazes of the crowd, Xin Yun's eyes shone as he proclaimed, "This martial technique is named Self-Destruct! It transforms the body into a bomb, unleashing a devastating impact on the enemy. Combined with the Demon Dragon Dismemberment and the Blood Killing Technique, it will explode with life's most brilliant spark at the very last moment!"

"Self-Destruct!" Upon Xin Yun's explanation, everyone's eyes gleamed with excitement. Though details remained unknown, a brief consideration made them realize that Xin Yun's claim of the "strongest" might not be an exaggeration after all.

Standing on the platform with radiant eyes, Xin Yun continued excitedly, "At the critical moment, activate the Demonic Dragon Disintegration Technique, enter into the state of the Blood Killing Technique, and if you still cannot defeat your opponent, rush towards them and trigger the Self-Destruct to deliver the final, and the most powerful, attack!"

As Xin Yun spoke, the minds of those listening involuntarily conjured the scene he painted, and the conclusion they arrived at sent chills down their spines. It was, perhaps, the most insane form of combat conceivable in the world.

During the following month, Xin Yun and the others didn't go anywhere. They remained within the Celestial Pot to teach these Three Great Battle Techniques to everyone, preparing for the impending battle.

There was a reason for not starting the battle immediately. Currently, Kaso was surely not yet back with his family. If they commenced battle now, the adversary wouldn't even understand the reason, making it a time unfit for war.

Consider this; had they not started the war, it would have been better. Once commenced with the terrifying power of the Three Great Battle Techniques, it would quickly draw the attention of forces all around the world.

Just imagine, attacking someone else's home so crazily, so recklessly, without any cause—what impression would that leave? Although it might instill fear and horror, if things continued down that path, the Sky-opening Sect would simply become another Demon Dragon Clan, which was far from Xin Yun's wishes.

A person can fight, be ruthless, be venomous, be reckless, and be utterly relentless, but he needs a reason. If one does so for glory, for dignity, then he will win the praise, the admiration, and even the reverence of all. However, if one acts without cause or solely for profit, it is tantamount to inhumanity, to terrorism!

Therefore, for the image of the Sky-opening Sect and to impart the martial skills to everyone, Xin Yun had to be patient. He would wait for Kaso to return to his family, for the news to spread, for all the major powers to be aware of the matter. Then, it would be time to go to war. Once the war began, the Sky-opening Sect must deter everyone.

Over the month, Po Kong repeatedly sought Xin Yun, eager to spar with everyone. Unfortunately, Xin Yun and his people had disappeared without a trace, leading Po Kong to believe that Xin Yun had been frightened off by the Kashi Family. Full of regret, he thought that had he known, he would have prevented all of this. Nevertheless, it was decided to leave everything until after the competition.

The upcoming competition was of great importance. While Po Kong was powerful, he never deluded himself into invincibility. Not to mention others, the Mountain Sea Academy alone had many challengers who could threaten him. But what about the other academies? With over three thousand academies participating in the competition, could there really not be one capable of defeating Po Kong?

Confidence in oneself is good, but blind confidence is mere narcissism. Relaxing without knowing one's enemy is a folly reserved for the weak. Clearly... Po Kong was not such a person.

Meanwhile, the educational delegation sent out by Mountain Sea Academy had also been called back by Xin Yun, but they were not stationed within the Celestial Pot. Instead, they were stationed in the cave heavens of Shou Yang Mountain. All 365 disciples, along with Yan Qingying's Twelve Great Apostles, went there to learn. As for the Celestial Pot, apart from the Sky-opening Sect's members, outsiders would not easily gain access.
