Chapter 851: You Must Have Seen Wrongly
Although Huang Xiaolong’s ranking reached the top three thousand and his name appeared at the bottom of the ranking list, due to his name being on the very bottom, no one noticed the appearance of a new name.
A second later, an Azure Dragon Institute Grand Elder coincidentally looked at the ranking list. But, before looking away, the corner of his eye caught sight of the bottom part of the list and his expression stiffened.
‘Huang Xiaolong?!’
He widened his eyes, then rubbed them with his fingers. He wasn’t wrong, it was indeed Huang Xiaolong’s name!
His expression changed, his mouth opened and closed, stammering.
An Azure Dragon Institute Grand Elder beside him noticed his strange behavior and asked curiously, “What is it?”
The first Azure Dragon Institute Grand Elder pointed at the ranking list, squeezing out: “At the bottom, Huang Xiaolong, it’s Huang Xiaolong!”
“Huang Xiaolong?!” When Qin Yi, Ceng Chu, and the others heard this, they abruptly turned to look at the ranking list following that Grand Elder’s finger.
But, a moment before their gazes fell on the bottom of the ranking list, a light glimmered and Huang Xiaolong’s name was replaced by another disciple named Yuan Zhi, taking over the 3,000th spot.
Which was why, when Qin Yi and the rest of the Azure Dragon Institute members looked at the bottom of the ranking list, it read ‘Yuan Zhi’.
“What Huang Xiaolong!” Ceng Chu snapped. “The name Yuan Zhi is clearly written there, making a fuss out of nothing. I think you’ve been staring at the ranking list for too long, your eyes got all blurry and saw wrongly!”
That Azure Dragon Institute Grand Elder once again rubbed his eyes. Seeing that it was indeed the name ‘Yuan Zhi’ stated on the ranking list, he was speechless; more like he didn’t know what to say to salvage himself.
“I agree, Grand Elder Chen, you’ve seen wrongly. Even if that Huang Xiaolong is still alive, how could he even climb up into the top three thousand with his measly strength?” Another Azure Dragon Institute Grand Elder chimed in.
The first Grand Elder’s mouth opened and closed, but no words came out. He took another look at the bottom of the ranking list, but it was still the name Yuan Zhi.
Could it be, he really saw wrongly? Was it a hallucination?
The rest already turned away, ignoring him as their attention returned to Xiang Mingzhi’s movement in the top one hundred.
Although Xiang Mingzhi who possessed the Azure Dragon Divine Fire and Extreme Lightning Destruction Physique was very strong, his rise had become much harder after he reached his current position despite the continuous increase in his points. The disciples in front of him were all Third Order Highgod Realm and above, their accumulation of points wasn’t any slower than Xiang Mingzhi’s.
At this rate, Xiang Mingzhi could, at most, reach around the 80th place.
80th!
With his disciple being able to reach this level, Qin Yi was already extremely satisfied.
In the Overflowing Lightning World, Huang Xiaolong flew into the megapolis. At first glance, the inside the city was a stretch of desolation all around, its wide spacious streets held nothing but ruins. Even though it was daylight, the dark clouds and lightning hovering above it cast a shadow of darkness over the city, forever trapping this place in the last light of dusk.
Huang Xiaolong walked on an empty street, noticing that everywhere he looked within the city, there were fine streaks of lightning running down. Although the destructive power of these fine lightning streaks was small, his god battle qi depleted six times faster inside the city.
Though those fine strands of lightning could hardly harm Huang Xiaolong’s True Dragon Physique, he still took precautions by putting on his Glory of the Water God Armor as well as taking out the Water God Halberd, in case of unforeseen situations.
‘It’s a pity that I haven’t condensed my godhead, otherwise I could absorb the lightning force here to temper my physique.’ Huang Xiaolong sighed.
The Overflowing Lightning World was a higher realm world and the lightning force here was extremely pure. If he could absorb it to temper his body, even just for a year’s time, it would be much better than his cultivation efforts in the lower realm.
As he walked up the street, his instincts shouted danger and he swiftly dodged to the side. Just as Huang Xiaolong dodged, a large lightning bead landed where he stood earlier.
A giant hole of appeared in the middle of the street, its depth like a bottomless abyss.
