Chapter 777: Lu Cong (2/2)
“What?! Lu Cong’s here as well?! These disciples on the top of the Highgod Advancement List, even though they aren’t Highgod Realm masters yet, each of them are freak geniuses with strength almost comparable to a Highgod Realm master. If they’re also here, there goes our chances...”
“It’s just that, I don’t know for what reason, the first-ranked Wan Long actually isn’t here! Oh, but I’ve heard that Huang Xiaolong is!”
“Huang Xiaolong? With his Eighth Order God Realm strength, what is he doing here? Although his talent is amazing, I heard that one of the first conditions Saint Mother Yao Chi put up in selecting the inheritor disciple is a cultivation of late-Tenth Order and above.”
That group of disciples passed by Huang Xiaolong’s side. Not recognizing him, they walked on.
Listening to that group of disciples’ discussion, Huang Xiaolong was curious.
Third on the Highgod Advancement List, Lu Cong? Huang Xiaolong suddenly remembered that time on the Hailstone Mainland when he was searching for the Hailstone Treasure. He met a tall young man of the Azure Dragon Institute that displayed the Ten Thousand Words Dharani to break the restrictive formation.
That young man was also called Lu Cong.
‘Looks like that tall young man I encountered on the Hailstone Mainland was the same Lu Cong on the Highgod Advancement List.’
Even though there were quite a few similar discussions, Huang Xiaolong didn’t pay them much attention.
Just as he turned around, planning to return to his courtyard, a group of five disciples in Azure Dragon Institute brocade robes was walking toward his direction.
One of them was the same tall young man, Lu Cong!
Lu Cong was surprised seeing Huang Xiaolong, blurting out: “Huang Xiaolong!” Clearly, he didn’t expect to run into Huang Xiaolong here.
The other four Azure Dragon Institute disciples spread out and encircled Huang Xiaolong as if they were trained dogs when they heard Lu Cong say his name. All of them fixed a deathly glare at Huang Xiaolong.
But Lu Cong reprimanded the four: “What are you all doing? This place is Yaochi Mountain!”
Only then did the four Azure Dragon Institute disciples shuffle back to Lu Cong’s side.
Lu Cong’s glare was fixed on Huang Xiaolong, sneering in ridicule, “Huang Xiaolong, I didn’t expect you to also be attending Saint Mother Yao Chi’s banquet, you’re really overestimating yourself wanting to be her inheritor with your meager strength.”
That year, he and several others went through great trouble to break the Hailstone Treasure’s outer barrier, but who would have thought that all their effort was for naught. Instead, Huang Xiaolong was the one who got the Hailstone Treasure.
Due to this, his resentment and hatred toward Huang Xiaolong had only grown stronger through the years.
Huang Xiaolong was indifferent even after hearing Lu Cong’s ridicule, “You think you can win the first place on the battle stage?”
Lu Cong laughed reverberated, “He Feifan broke through to Highgod Realm, but he didn’t come. Wan Long isn't here either, so the first place is in my grasp. When that time comes, you can also challenge me. Too bad though, I don’t think you have the strength.” With that said, he signaled the four disciples behind him and left.
“Senior brother Lu, are we letting that punk off just like this?” One of them was unwilling.
An evil smile rose on Lu Cong’s face, “Don’t worry. During the stage battle, even if this punk doesn't dare to challenge me, I’ll call him out in front of everyone, he cannot run from battling me. I’ll crush him in front of everyone, then have him roll off the stage!”
Lu Cong purposely did not lower his voice, hence, his exact words reached Huang Xiaolong’s ears.
Huang Xiaolong watched the backs of these Azure Dragon Institute disciples with a sneer, ‘Overestimating myself?’ Well then, in a few days during the stage battle, he would show Lu Cong who was the one overestimating themselves, who wins and who loses.
However, this Lu Cong wouldn't have the chance to roll off the battle stage.
Because he was fated to die on the stage!
