Chapter 859: Condensing A Godhead

Watching his disciple’s name slowly grow dimmer on the ranking list, Qin Yi yelled in fury, denial, and apprehension, “N-no, no, impossible, don’t—!!!”

But, even as he screamed, Xiang Minghi’s name continued to dim, and finally exploded like fireworks in the air, completely erased from the ranking list.

The higher a disciple’s ranking was, the louder and more dazzling the fireworks were when they died. Thus, when Xiang Mingzhi’s name disappeared from the ranking list, bright fireworks exploded loudly in high air, sounding like a thunderclap. Bright lights spread out wave after wave like rippling water. Not only those on the Aeon Square, but even the people in the streets and shops saw the bright lights clearly.

“67th place, Xiang Mingzhi! I wonder where this disciple comes from. To die in the tournament, what a pity!”

“All these disciples ranked in the top one thousand are great geniuses, and disciples within the top hundred are all geniuses amongst geniuses. This kind of disciple will definitely become a super hegemon in the galaxy once they grow up!”

Exclamations of pity and shock could be heard all over the place.

The Wangu Clan Elders were also astonished watching Xiang Mingzhi’s name disappear from the ranking list.

Although there were quite a number of changes in the top three thousand after four months into the tournament, most of them occurred outside the top one thousand. There had yet to be any disciple within the top one hundred who lost their life until now.

“67th place.” A low sigh sounded from Wangu Shuo in pity, “This kind of talent, even among our Wangu Clan disciples, is more than enough to enter our clan’s top ten disciples.”

“How did this Xiang Mingzhi die? Was it a lightning beast, or was he killed by another participating disciple?” Wangu Changqing asked in a solemn voice.

“Only those in the top twenty should be capable of killing this Xiang Mingzhi, however, there are no changes in the points and ranking of those top twenty disciples. Therefore, it can only be a lightning beast!” Another Wangu Clan Elder, Wangu Zhi, concluded as he looked at the top twenty names on the ranking list.

Other present Wangu Clan Elders nodded in agreement toward this conclusion.

However, right at this moment, a brilliant light shone at the 93rd place where Huang Xiaolong’s name appeared.

More than four months into the tournament, the top one hundred places were more or less stable, without many drastic shifts up or down. Hence, Huang Xiaolong’s sudden emergence at the 93rd place immediately attracted many eyes.

“Huang Xiaolong?! Which galaxy and family does he come from? His name wasn't in the top two hundred before, right? What rank did he jump up from into the top one hundred?”

“I don’t think I’ve seen this Huang Xiaolong’s name before this!”

More and more families’ and sect’s masters noticed Huang Xiaolong’s name appearing in the top one hundred. All of a sudden, the square was abuzz with sounds of people talking.

Many of these talks also entered the Wangu Clan Elders’ ears and they turned to look at the 93rd position on the ranking list.

“Go find out what this Huang Xiaolong’s ranking was before this.” Elder Wangu Yuan suddenly instructed the two high-ranked stewards beside him.

The two attendants respectfully complied and went off to their task.

The Wangu Clan disciples would make a copy of the ranking list every one hour, and if Huang Xiaolong was amongst the top three thousand before this, the Wangu Clan attendants would be able to find out his prior ranking.

It didn’t take long for the two attendants to return, however, the report they brought back made the twelve Wangu Clan Elders’ jaws drop.

“What? An hour before, this Huang Xiaolong was in the 921st place?!” All the Elders almost blurted out the same sentence.

The two high-level attendants nodded their heads and affirmed the result.

The Wangu Clan Elders silently exchanged looks between themselves.
