Chapter 670: God Ranking List Battle (2/2)
Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong brought up the matter about Shi Xiaofei’s Master Yang Yi with Liu Yun, asking if he could help investigate if Yang Yi returned to the land of new moon.
For such a small matter, Liu Yun agreed to help without hesitation. Being one of Black Warrior Institute’s Grand Elders for so many years, he still had this much influence. Finding news about Yang Yi wouldn't be too difficult.
A few hours later, after Liu Yun and Qi Wen bid their farewells, Shi Xiaofei followed Huang Xiaolong to his yard.
“Actually, the God Ranking List Battle is not restricted to only Highgod Realm masters,” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said.
Huang Xiaolong was surprised, “Not restricted to Highgod Realm masters?”
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi nodded, “That’s right, it only requires one to have the strength comparable to a Highgod Realm master. Based on your talent, when you’ll reach peak late-Tenth Order God Realm, your strength would not be any weaker than some early First Order Highgod Realm masters. However, I need to warn you, the God Ranking List Battle is extremely dangerous, even a Highgod Realm master could lose their life. Therefore, if you must participate, it is better to have broken through to Highgod Realm.”
“If even a Highgod Realm could fall, why do so many Highgod Realm masters compete? Is a ranking that important?” Huang Xiaolong was baffle.
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi shook his head, “A ranking is nothing to a Highgod Realm master. What attracts them to compete is not the ranking, as for the real reason, we’ll talk again when you have reached peak late-Tenth Order God Realm, you’ll naturally know at that time.”
Huang Xiaolong was speechless. This old dragon, there was no difference whether he spoke or not. But Huang Xiaolong was very curious what attracted these Highgod Realm masters for them to be willing to risk their lives for it.
“It would be better for you to improve your alchemy refining skills more.” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi suggested, “In the Alchemist Grandmaster Competition five years later, getting the first place is not as easy as you think. With a rank six godhead as a prize, some thousand year old old monsters that have hidden away will compete as well. These alchemy old monsters’ skills are in no way worse than your Master Ascending Moon Old Man.”
Huang Xiaolong took a deep breath: “I understand!”
He absolutely had to win the first place in this term’s Alchemist Grandmaster Competition!
If he had that rank six godhead, he’d be able to breakthrough to Eighth Order God Realm in thirty years. If he missed this chance, it would take at least a hundred years and above before he could reach Eighth Order God Realm.
And the Highgod Advancement Tournament was in less than two hundred years. Time was too tight, therefore he had to use every method possible to advance to Tenth Order God Realm as soon as possible.
Soon, another two months passed by.
In these two months, Huang Xiaolong still practiced his alchemy refining skills during the day, but now, he fully focused his time on improving his alchemy skills, no longer dividing his attention with practicing battle skills. At night, he continued to swallow the Three Revolutions Golden Pills, cultivating to increase his strength.
When Huang Xiaolong was refining pills, Shi Xiaofei and the Huang Family watched quietly at the side while he explained to them as he demonstrated.
Hence, in the last few months, Shi Xiaofei and the Huang Family’s alchemy skills had greatly improved.
There was news regarding the matter Huang Xiaolong asked Liu Yun to investigate. As expected, Yang Yi did not return to the land of new moon. Liu Yun also found out that after Yang Yi departed with the Vermillion Bird Institute’s He Feifan to the Vermillion Bird Galaxy, she had yet to return.
As for what happened after Yang Yi went to the Vermillion Bird Galaxy, Liu Yun was unable to find out.
Huang Xiaolong frowned at this result. Most likely something happened to Yang Yi after going to the Vermillion Bird Galaxy, but he needed to prepare for the Alchemist Grandmaster Competition, he was unable to make a trip to the Vermillion Bird Galaxy to investigate this himself. Not forgetting the fact that, at his current level of strength, he’d be unable to meddle in matters of Highgod Realm masters. In the end, he could only request his Eldest Apprentice-brother Liu Yun to keep an eye out for news about Yang Yi.
When Shi Xiaofei came to know about this, although she was anxious, there was nothing she could do but stay on the Golden Dragon Peak with Huang Xiaolong and wait for news from Liu Yun.
Just like this, Huang Xiaolong stayed inside the Golden Dragon Peak, practicing his alchemy refining skills everyday, day after day. Days turned into months, and in the blink of an eye, four years and three months had passed.
Only three months remained until the Alchemist Grandmaster Competition.
