Two-Claw

**Yinglong Guard (应龙卫)** – The elite immortal corps of the Grand Xia Dynasty, named after the winged dragon Yinglong, a rain deity in Chinese mythology. Members are ranked by claw marks (One-Claw, Two-Claw, Three-Claw), with higher claws signifying greater combat power. Even the lowest rank requires at least Wanxiang Adept strength, and rewards from the Black-White College for joining are substantial (1,000 Black-White Pearls for One-Claw). Xueying being a Two-Claw Guard means his real fighting ability is on par with a Primal Daoist—a monster even among geniuses.

Story context

Fresh off his victory over Qinghe, Ji Ning stands atop his stone pillar and throws down the gauntlet to every senior disciple in the Dao Debate Palace. The silence is telling—until Xueying, a white-haired Two-Claw Yinglong Guard, steps up. Though Xueying is a Fiendgod Body Refiner who normally excels at close combat, he is still a cut above Qinghe in puppeteering. Ji Ning pushes himself to the breaking point, unleashing five simultaneous New Three Talents Lotus Swords—a feat that leaves the entire hall stunned. The victory is decisive, but Ji Ning knows it came at the cost of all his reserves.

Why it matters

This chapter is a pure dopamine hit for progression-lovers. Ji Ning doesn’t just win—he *dominates* in a way that makes the entire hall stop and take notice. The author smartly uses the puppet format to level the playing field, letting Ji Ning’s sword-system comprehension and soul strength shine without the brute-force gap of raw cultivation. Watch how the senior disciples’ murmurs shift from condescending to awed. And that callback about the Fiendgod Blood-Refining Art? Foreshadowing for Ji Ning’s own future inheritance.
