Everyone thought Lin Xuan had produced nine sounds. The Star Pavilion Master even remarked, "I estimate Lin Xuan used some kind of Secret Technique to forcibly enhance his strength, which is how he managed nine sounds. Although the result is impressive, it must have consumed an immense amount of his power."
"Just watch. He'll become incredibly weak next. He'll likely be eliminated during the Dragon Ascending Ladder."
Hearing the Star Pavilion Master's explanation, everyone had a moment of realization. So that's what happened!
The Third Elder sneered, "Lin Xuan must have been so concerned with his pride that he didn't hesitate to exhaust his strength just to produce nine sounds. He just wants to use this to prove he's a top-echelon genius. How ridiculous. The real top-echelon geniuses all conserve their strength. Who would be as stupid as him and use everything they have? Even if he managed nine sounds, he's still not a top-echelon genius. He's not worthy."
