Chapter 765: Dumbfounded Ascending Moon Old Man! (2/2)

This sunbathing old man was none other than the Ascending Moon Old Man!

This old man actually changed out of his trademark shabby worn robe, and what was this getup? Huang Xiaolong smiled wryly, why did this remind him of the Turtle Hermit in Dragon Ball? The only thing missing was a turtle shell hanging on the old man’s back.

If the Ascending Moon Old Man carried a turtle shell on his back, he’d be a fake copy of Turtle Hermit.

Hence, Huang Xiaolong led everyone toward the beach instead.

Sensing their presence, the Ascending Moon Old Man lazily picked up the drink on the side table and took a leisurely sip before turning his head toward the people flying over.

When he saw it was Huang Xiaolong, he was dazed for a moment, then he flipped up from the lounge chair like a skinny monkey, laughing merrily, “You little brat, you’re finally back! I was thinking that if I don’t see your face in another month, I’d have to make a trip to the Vermilion Bird Institute demanding for my disciple!”

A warm feeling filled Huang Xiaolong’s heart, but it quickly turned into a bitter smile at the ‘little brat.’

Huang Xiaolong looked at the old man’s small and skinny stature, he was bigger than this old man in every aspect.

Huang Xiaolong descended on the beach and walked toward the Ascending Moon Old Man with the others following behind him.

Right at this moment, the Ascending Moon Old Man’s happy face was agape with shock. His gaze was fixed on Huang Xiaolong as if he was looking at a terrible monster.

“Y-your cultivation is already at late-Tenth Order God Realm?!!” While Huang Xiaolong was baffled by the old man’s sudden exaggerated change, the old man already reached Huang Xiaolong in a flicker. Before he could react, two bony hands were roaming up and down his body, like they wanted to turn over every inch. More like the Ascending Moon Old Man suspected this wasn’t the genuine Huang Xiaolong.

Slightly over a decade ago, when Huang Xiaolong departed to the Vermilion Bird Institute, his cultivation was at peak late-Ninth Order God Realm. Returning now, this little brat was already a late-Tenth Order God Realm!

Anyone would be suspicious.

The Ascending Moon Old Man’s behavior rendered Huang Xiaolong speechless. So, this was the reason?

Huang Xiaolong scolded, “I say, old man, isn’t it merely late-Tenth Order God Realm? Is it worth so much exaggeration? Can’t you recognize your own personal disciple?

Only after determining that this was the genuine Huang Xiaolong did the Ascending Moon Old Man stop checking Huang Xiaolong’s body, but the incredulous expression seemed etched on the old man’s face, “I say, Little Huang brat, how did you breakthrough so fast? How is this possible? Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!”

The Ascending Moon Old Man uttered several ‘impossible’ to emphasize his disbelief.

Pondering for a while, Huang Xiaolong decided to speak frankly, “The truth is, I went to the Vermilion Bird Institute to look for clues about the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire.”

“Vermilion Bird Divine Fire!” A shiver ran down the old man’s back, staring wide-eyed at Huang Xiaolong, “You’re saying..?”

The Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Huang Hongtian, the three Peng brothers, and the Nine-Tailed White Fox stared intently at Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong nodded, “Correct, I have integrated with the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire.”

The Ascending Moon Old Man’s eyes were rounder than the moon. A second later, he exploded in elated laughter, whereas the others were struck speechless.

Only now did the Phoenix Clan Ancestor and the others find out that Huang Xiaolong had obtained the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire.

Seeing the Ascending Moon Old Man laughing so happily, Huang Xiaolong decided to give the old man another good news. After all, the old man was bound to find out sooner or later. “In fact, other than the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, I have also integrated with the Black Tortoise Divine Fire.”

The Ascending Moon Old Man that was laughing happily suddenly choked and started coughing non-stop. Behind him, the Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Huang Hongtian, the three Peng brothers, and Nine-Tailed White Fox nearly tumbled down. The expressions on their faces looked like they were struck by divine lightning.

Only one person remained composed and unaffected: Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi.
