Chapter 923: Increase the Assessment Difficulty By Ten Times (1/2)
The several Wangu Clan disciples with Wangu Yanhui were looking at Huang Xiaolong with barely concealed astonishment, wondering about his identity.
Although Huang Xiaolong attended the celebration banquet held by the Wangu Clan Patriarch, these disciples hadn't seen him at that time.
Due to this interruption, Jiang Lei was looking with surprise in his heart.
Wangu Yanhui was the Wangu Clan’s most gifted disciple in terms of cultivation talent in the last ten million years, thus it was granted that someone like Jiang Lei knew about him. Even though his Master was one of the Alchemist Grandmaster Union’s Eminent Elders, as his disciple, Jiang Lei’s status and identity were naturally higher than most people. However, compared to Wangu Yanhui, he took the back seat.
Huang Xiaolong nodded at Wangu Yanhui, replying, “En, I came to participate in the Alchemist Grandmaster Grand Competition. You as well?”
Wangu Yanhui smiled, shaking his head, “Although my cultivation talent is not bad, my alchemy talent is only so-so. It may only be better than the average people by a tiny bit, so I’d better not embarrass myself at the Grand Competition.”
At this time, the young man standing close to Wangu Yanhui spoke, “Yanhui, this brother is?”
Wangu Yanhui quickly introduced Huang Xiaolong, “Brother Huang, this is my Big brother, Wangu Ye.” Then he went on to introduce the rest of his companions. After that, Wangu Yanhui said to Wangu Ye, “This is the first place winner of the Highgod Advancement Tournament, Huang Xiaolong, Brother Huang!”
The first place winner of the Highgod Advancement Tournament!
Huang Xiaolong!
Those who heard what Wangu Yanhui said couldn’t help but feel shocked, including the President Lin Xin and Jiang Lei.
Some tried to guess Huang Xiaolong’s identity, but none of them connected this young man to the Highgod Advancement Tournament’s champion.
The chamber employee that served Huang Xiaolong was covered in cold sweat, he had nearly kicked Huang Xiaolong out from the branch. Whereas the two women in Jiang Lei’s arms were suddenly staring interestedly at Huang Xiaolong, their coquettish gazes like a lover’s caress, as if they were on the verge of swallowing Huang Xiaolong whole.
A second of brief astonishment later, Wangu Ye cupped his fists, greeting Huang Xiaolong with a smile, “So it’s Young brother Huang. I’ve already heard of Young brother Huang’s name, meeting today is truly eye-opening. Young brother Huang is truly a dragon amongst men.”
The other Wangu Clan disciples also cupped their fists and greeted Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong returned the courtesy, cupping his fists in greeting towards Wangu Ye and the others.
“Brother Huang, just now both of you were…” Wangu Yanhui couldn’t help asking, his gaze swept over Jiang Lei.
Jiang Lei seized the timing, taking a step forward, flashing a radiant smile, “It’s nothing, just some small misunderstanding. Brother Huang, right?”
Huang Xiaolong replied sharply despite his indifferent expression, “I don’t think it was a small misunderstanding. Moreover, who is your brother?”
Jiang Lei’s face turned ugly in a split second, fury flitted in the depth of his eyes. He hadn't expected Huang Xiaolong to not give him face when he already placed himself at a lower position, calling him brother.
Although Huang Xiaolong was the Highgod Advancement Tournament champion, Jiang Lei didn't really put him in his eyes. Just now, he was being humble because of Wangu Yanhui’s presence, attempting to erase any misconception.
This Huang Xiaolong was so ‘tactless’!
‘Really, this Huang Xiaolong, I gave him face but he doesn’t appreciate my kindness!’
Jiang Lei glared daggers at Huang Xiaolong, chastising, “Huang Xiaolong, you think winning the first place in the Highgod Advancement Tournament means that you’re so great? I don’t believe your alchemy ability is as good as your cultivation talent, winning the Grand Competition’s first place as well!” Then he snapped at the two women: “We’re leaving!”
