Chapter 182: Chapter 182 Comprehending the Controlling Dragon Sword

Back at the residence, Yang Xiaotian took out the Burying Heaven Sword Technique and began to peruse it.

He read with great concentration, and after finishing the first read, he had already memorized all the sword techniques contained in the Burying Heaven Sword Technique.

Closing the Secret Tome, Yang Xiaotian recalled it once, and then proceeded to read it a second time.

By the time he completed the fourth read, he had fully comprehended the subtleties of the sword techniques within the Burying Heaven Sword Technique and began to practice them with his sword.

The Burying Heaven Sword Technique possessed the might to bury the heavens, one strike was immensely powerful. However, regrettably, without the Burying Heaven Sword to accompany it, its power was only somewhat stronger than many Supreme Divine Powers.

Only with the Burying Heaven Sword could the true power of the Burying Heaven Sword Technique be unleashed.

After practicing for a day, Yang Xiaotian stopped and summoned Luo Qing, instructing him to inquire about the Innate Fine Iron and the Quadruple Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.

“It is also time to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword,” Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself after Luo Qing left.

Now, he had completely comprehended all eighteen floors of the Sword Tower, and by the academy’s rules, he was permitted to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword.

He had come to Tiandou Academy precisely for the Controlling Dragon Sword and the Tiandou Sword.

So, after Luo Qing had left, Yang Xiaotian headed to the eighteenth floor of the Sword Tower and activated the power of the sword orb at the very top by using the Burying Heaven Sword Qi he had mastered.

According to the academy’s rules, once one comprehended all eighteen floors of the Sword Tower, one could activate the sword orb at the top and then comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword.

At that moment, Zhong Yun was in the courtyard instructing Guo Wei in the cultivation of the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword.

Guo Wei held the Emperor Sword in his left hand and the Green Sea Sword in his right, his sword qi crisscrossing majestically. The Splendor Sword Art and the Green Sea Sword Technique blending together, even inducing a series of extraordinary phenomena.

Clearly, compared to the monthly test over three months ago, Guo Wei’s mastery of both Heavenly Swords had improved significantly.

After Guo Wei ceased his swordplay, Zhong Yun commended him with a satisfied expression, “Excellent swordsmanship! Tomorrow is the end-of-term exam, and with your strength, you will certainly seize one of the top three positions in the year.”

Clenching the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword tightly, Guo Wei took a deep breath: “Once I claim one of the top three spots in my year and comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword, I will definitely be able to master it. By then, I shall be the owner of all three Heavenly Swords!”

“Once I’ve cultivated the Controlling Dragon Sword Technique, so what if Yang Xiaotian possesses three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!”

“One day, I will defeat him!”

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, they saw sword qi rushing into the sky from the direction of the Sword Tower.

Zhong Yun and Guo Wei were astonished; they hastened out of the courtyard only to see the sword orb at the very top of the Sword Tower radiating brightly, with torrents of sword qi bursting forth.

The complexion on Guo Wei’s face turned particularly ugly.

Someone had fully comprehended the eighteen floors of the Sword Tower!

This person was undoubtedly Yang Xiaotian.

Zhong Yun said with a dark expression, “Even if Yang Xiaotian has comprehended the eighteenth floor of the Sword Tower, it’s not a big deal. He won’t be able to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword.”

He then added, “You possess both the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword, and you have the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God. When you attempt to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword tomorrow, it will undoubtedly be a cinch, and the Controlling Dragon Sword will definitely be yours!”

Guo Wei nodded.

He had already fully comprehended the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword, and he was one hundred percent confident that he would master the Controlling Dragon Sword tomorrow.

After Yang Xiaotian activated the power of the Sword Tower’s sword orb, he went to find Xie Hong and Fan Riquan, stating his intention to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword.

Xie Hong and Fan Riquan had already anticipated that Yang Xiaotian would seek to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword. Without any hesitation, they took him to the Controlling Dragon Hall.

“The Controlling Dragon Sword is inside the Controlling Dragon Hall. However, the sword is sealed with a powerful Dragon Soul. Once you enter, be careful not to provoke the Dragon Soul,” Fan Riquan advised before opening the doors of the great hall.

Yang Xiaotian nodded and stepped into the Controlling Dragon Hall.

The doors of the hall closed behind him.

Xie Hong and Fan Riquan looked at the closed doors, their faces filled with anticipation.

The Controlling Dragon Sword had always been out of anyone’s grasp, and they also wanted to know whether Yang Xiaotian could control the Controlling Dragon Sword.

Students at the Tiandou Academy learned that Yang Xiaotian was to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword and also rushed over, wanting to see if Yang Xiaotian could control the Controlling Dragon Sword.

Tian Meiling, He Qingzhe, and Chen Jun also hurried over.

“Junior Brother Yang has three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts and unparalleled swordsmanship; he’s certain to control the Controlling Dragon Sword.”

“Exactly, and besides, Junior Brother Yang owns an Emperor Realm Flood Dragon. With the Emperor Realm Flood Dragon present, he will surely be able to suppress the Dragon Soul and control the Controlling Dragon Sword,” an excited student from Tiandou Academy said.

Ever since Yang Xiaotian nailed Fang Heng and Zeng Biao to the streets of the Tiandou Imperial City, all the teachers and students of Tiandou Academy were shocked, and many became fervently admiring of Yang Xiaotian.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lei from first class sneered, “What about the Emperor Realm Flood Dragon? In the past, even Saint Realm Powerhouses have tried to forcefully comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword without success.”

“Moreover, that Saint Realm Powerhouse had seven Sword Hearts and had even cultivated Sword Intent, yet still failed. Yang Xiaotian trying to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword is simply daydreaming!”

The many teachers and students who had just been excited were now as if doused in cold water.

The Controlling Dragon Sword is ranked seventy-first among the Heavenly Swords of the Heavenly Sword Ranking and, naturally, has been coveted by many powerhouses, including those of the Saint Realm.

However, over the years, even Saint Realm Powerhouses have been unable to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword, let alone take it away.

Although Zhong Lei’s words were hateful, they were also true.

Whether Yang Xiaotian could comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword was indeed hard to say.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotian entered the grand hall and saw an ancient sword floating in the air at the center of the hall.

This ancient sword had a scabbard engraved with a lifelike Golden Dragon. Although the sword had not yet been unsheathed, Yang Xiaotian could still feel the astonishing Sword Qi and dragon might contained within it.

Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword, much like when he contemplated the Sword Tower and Sword Wall.

Before long, Yang Xiaotian’s body was enveloped in swirling Sword Qi, strands of which wafted out from the Controlling Dragon Sword.

Time trickled by.

The Sword Qi from the Controlling Dragon Sword grew stronger, and its glow became more splendid.

Yang Xiaotian stimulated the power of his four Sword Hearts, aiming to hasten his comprehension.

Suddenly, the Controlling Dragon Sword flew out of its scabbard, and in an instant, countless Sword Qi strands and a colossal Golden Dragon burst forth from the sword, their dragon roars shaking the heavens.

The ground of the entire academy trembled with it.

Feeling the wild power of the Dragon Soul, everyone guarding outside the grand hall was utterly astonished.

“It’s the Dragon Soul! The Dragon Soul has been enraged,” exclaimed Tian Meiling in fear.

She too had previously tried to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword and had angered the Dragon Soul; once the Dragon Soul went berserk, it was terrifying.

Seeing the Dragon Soul enraged, Zhong Lei laughed, “Yang Xiaotian has angered the Dragon Soul. I’ve said it before—Yang Xiaotian trying to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword is just daydreaming.”

Once the Dragon Soul is enraged and runs wild, uncontrollable, it signifies failure in comprehending the Controlling Dragon Sword.

Xie Hong and Fan Riquan frowned upon seeing the Dragon Soul enraged, feeling disappointed.

Initially, they had hoped that Yang Xiaotian could control the Controlling Dragon Sword, but now it seemed that Yang Xiaotian was unable to do so.

In the courtyard, waiting for news, Guo Wei sensed the ferocious power of the Dragon Soul, and both he and Zhong Yun had faces filled with joy.

Zhong Yun laughed, “I told you so, Yang Xiaotian can’t control the Controlling Dragon Sword.”

Guo Wei nodded with a smile, confident that the Controlling Dragon Sword would be his tomorrow.

Just then, inside the grand hall, the raging Dragon Soul furiously attacked Yang Xiaotian.
