Chapter 579: Treasure
When everyone thought that Jiang Bi would unleash his anger on Huang Xiaolong, retaliating with ferocity, he instead spoke calmly, “Huang Xiaolong, I admit I underestimated you earlier. Five years later will be the inner disciples' assessment, at that time, I will fight you on the Hidden Dragon Arena stage and I will defeat you in front of the Institute Principal, Grand Elders, and Elders!”
“We're leaving!” Jiang Bi flicked the side of his robes, turned around and left.
Everyone was dumbfounded on the spot as they watched Jiang Bi’s leaving silhouette. Li Dufeng and the several disciples with him snapped out of their daze moments later, scampering after Jiang Bi as they followed him out from the Supreme Harmony Hall without daring to turn their heads in Huang Xiaolong’s direction.
It wasn’t until Jiang Bi, Li Dufeng, and the several disciples left that the Elders and other disciples in the hall reacted.
Jiang Bi was afraid to battle and left?! The disciples were left in a racket of disbelief.
Even Huang Xiaolong did not expect that Jiang Bi would leave so casually. Watching the other side’s leaving silhouette, Huang Xiaolong’s expression was calm; the inner disciples’ assessment? It seems like Jiang Bi thought that he could easily defeat him five years later.
Perhaps Jiang Bi encountered a fortuitous adventure that would allow his strength to break through, or perhaps he was cultivating a certain technique that needed another five years to achieve a desirable result.
Regardless, Huang Xiaolong already threw this person to the back of his mind. In fact, to Huang Xiaolong, this was even better.
‘Five years, I can probably break through to Fourth Order God Realm by then.’ Huang Xiaolong estimated inwardly. In the coming inner disciples' assessment five years later, the disciple from the Azure Dragon Institute, Xiang Mingzhi, was Huang Xiaolong’s real opponent.
Ignoring the gazes of the others around him, Huang Xiaolong walked toward the side hall distributing medicinal pellets and spirit stones and collected his dues of four thousand Black Warrior Greater Strength Spirit Pellets and saint grade spirit stones. After leaving the Supreme Harmony Hall, he headed straight toward the North Star Square’s transmission array to reach the Black Warrior City. From there, he flew towards Changzhi City’s Divine Fort Residence.
The news that the Black Warrior Auction House would be putting up a piece of sacred grade immortal spirit stone for auction had already spread out, hence, many strong experts were already rushing to the Cloudsea Mainland from every corner of the galaxy.
Black Warrior City, Changzhi City, and other nearby cities became livelier.
Reaching the Divine Fort Residence, Huang Xiaolong gave the Black Warrior Greater Strength Spirit Pellets to his parents and others to refine. However, considering the domineering medicinal effect, he told them to grind the spirit pellets into powder, refining them bit by bit.
Deep into the night, the bright moon hung high in the velvet-colored sky over the quiet land.
Huang Xiaolong stood alone in the yard outside his room in the Divine Fort Residence in contemplation.
“Thinking about the inner disciples’ assessment five years later?” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi spoke, breaking the silence.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, “That Jiang Bi is not a threat, but the Azure Dragon Institute’s Xiang Mingzhi might not be an easy opponent.” Despite not having seen the person, Huang Xiaolong felt that this Xiang Mingzhi could be the toughest opponent he ever faced.
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said, “When I was still a Black Warrior Institute’s inner disciple, I had some experience with the inner disciples of the Azure Dragon Institute. In short, the Azure Dragon Institute’s inner disciples are all freaks. Our Black Warrior Institute’s inner disciples have the top ten rankings, whereas the Azure Dragon Institute has the top hundred rankings. Let’s put it this way, any one person within that top hundred ranking could easily flatten that Li Dufeng!”
Huang Xiaolong’s brows creased into furrows. Meaning to say, within the ranks of the Azure Dragon Institute inner disciples, there were at least one hundred people stronger than Li Dufeng? He didn’t expect the strength of the Azure Dragon Institute’s inner disciples to be at such a level.
If the inner disciples were as such, then what about their elite disciples?
“If that Xiang Mingzhi is the leader of the Azure Dragon Institute’s inner disciple, his strength is definitely not as simple as Fourth Order God Realm!” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi added, “The top ten of the Azure Dragon Institute’s inner disciples, even the one at the bottom, their strength would be at Fifth Order God Realm, at the very least, not to mention Xiang Mingzhi who is ranked first. Although you can summon the Gate of Hell and cross over to Hell to cultivate, after five years, the best result you can achieve is Fourth Order God Realm.”
