Chapter 187: The Third Heavenly Reflection
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Yan Xiu was still icy and expressionless.
However, his body was surrounded by a green glow as leaves circled him.
Other than this, his skin was covered with a thin grey layer of substance. It looked like the branches of a tree, and there were clear markings on it.
”Another field!”
”It’s wood... no, it’s a field of trees!”
All of the candidates were unable to conceal their shock and awe when they saw this scene unfold before their eyes.
Yan Xiu was standing inside the protection of a huge tree.
This could only mean one thing...
Yan Xiu was in the Heavenly Reflection State!
For over a century, no one had managed to breakthrough to the Heavenly Reflection State before 18. That was until Chi Guyan came along.
Not long ago, Fang Zhengzhi broke through at the Divine Constabulary, making him the second youngest Heavenly Reflection talent.
Within a few years, there were now to Heavenly Reflection powers under 18.
This was a stunning fact.
And now...
Yan Xiu, at the age of 16.
He managed to breakthrough during the Imperial Examinations, becoming the third person to attain this feat under the age of 18.
No one could believe their eyes.
Three Heavenly Reflection powers under 18?!
One was a surprise, two was a coincidence, three...
Was earth shaking.
If not for the fact that Chi Guyan and Fang Zhengzhi had already done it, Yan Xiu’s breakthrough would have rocked the entire empire.
Top of the two Dragon Rolls.
Yan Xiu was just 16, and well within the parameters of the Hidden Dragon Roll.
After all, he still had two more years to go, and anything could happen in these two years.
There was another name that could fulfill the great prophecy. Yan Xiu.
...
Inside the Imperial Academy, King Duan and Han Zhangfeng stared wide eyed at the screen. They could not believe their eyes.
”How is this possible?”
”Yan Xiu broke through to the Heavenly Reflection State?”
”Yan Xiu of the Yan Clan...”
King Duan looked at Han Zhangfeng and saw Han Zhangfeng looking back at him. They were both thinking of the same thing.
After all, they were looking at the future.
Han Zhangfeng was of the view that they should cultivate their own dragon. As such, they had to remove all the obstacles in their chosen dragon’s way.
They could remove Fang Zhengzhi by saying that he was a threat to the stability of the empire.
But what if the person was going to be Yan Xiu?
Han Zhangfeng frowned. He could not treat Yan Xiu the same way he treated Fang zhengzhi.
If anyone in the Yan Family caught wind that Yan Xiu was under threat, the backlash would be uncontainable.
King Duan was different from Han Zhangfeng. He wanted to become the dragon. He wanted to rule the Great Xia Empire. That was a position of unmatched power, wealth, and fame.
That was what he was truly after.
However, in order to do so, King Duan needed to be sharp enough to get rid of all the obstacles in his way.
If the person in the prophecy was really Yan Xiu...
Then what was he to do?
Just as Han Zhangfeng and King Duan were deep in thought, the Ninth Prince gasped, then heaved a sigh of relief. However, no one knew what or who he was relieved about.
...
”Yan Xiu is in the Heavenly Reflection Realm!”
”16 year old Yan Xiu has really broken through!”
All of the candidates in the World of the Sage looked at Yan Xiu in awe.
Su Donglin felt the tide of the battle turn. The moment Yan Xiu was in the Heavenly Reflection State, then his Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan was incredibly scary.
The Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan was a reflection of its user’s power.
Furthermore, the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan had its own suppressive field. Combing the two fields, Su Donglin would need all his power in a 1v1.
More importantly, Yan Xiu was only 16. Heavenly Reflection State at 16...
Su Donglin would never be daring enough to antagonize a 16 year old Heavenly Reflection Yan Xiu. Yan Xiu was very different from Fang Zhengzhi.
Yan Xiu had the terrifying, intimidating Yan Family standing behind him.
Then...
His original plan could no longer work.
His eyes glimmered and he grit his teeth. His gaze quickly shifted from Yan Xiu to Fang Zhengzhi.
If Yan Xiu was in the Heavenly Reflection State, then the weakest person was naturally Fang Zhengzhi!
This was an easy decision, but not easy to execute. It would be difficult to defeat Fang Zhengzhi before the others had time to react.
