The surrounding Grandmasters were stunned. What nonsense was this kid spouting? Did he really think he was the chosen one? How could the treasure be destined for him? What a joke.
They rolled their eyes, and three of them turned to leave. They simply didn't believe Lin Xuan could obtain the treasure, thinking it was impossible for him to open the Thunderfire Barrier.
One person, however, did not leave. He was an eight-star Grandmaster from the Nine Nether Pill Alliance named Nether Grandmaster. He stayed behind, ready to watch Lin Xuan make a fool of himself. Lin Xuan had previously defeated the Nine Nether Pill Alliance, and he had harbored a grudge ever since. He couldn't be happier to now witness Lin Xuan's public humiliation with his own eyes.
Lin Xuan walked forward until he reached the Thunderfire Barrier. He waved his hand and said, "Open."
