Chapter 950: His Name Is Huang Xiaolong (1/2)

Wu Gen pondered for a moment, then shook his head, “No need for the time being. If he really is a talented genius, he can surely pass the second part of the exam as well. In the third part, the Ancestor will notice him anyway.”

In the third part of the exam, which was also the last part, the Ancestor would personally assess these disciples.

“Senior brother Wu Gen, why do you think the Ancestor suddenly wants to receive ten in-name disciples?” One of the disciples asked, feeling curious.

Wu Chen’s voice sounded solemn, “Maybe it has something to do with Huang Xiaolong. As for Master’s real intention, it isn't something we can make presumptions about.”

The several disciples with him nodded hastily in compliance.

In the meantime, Wu Gen had Huang Xiaolong stand quietly on the side as they waited for other cultivators to come out from the illusion array.

After a little over seven hours of waiting, a person disciple walked out from the cave.

Although the second disciple took more than seven hours to pass the illusion array, the level of his strong will could be considered as startling, unless one compared him to Huang Xiaolong.

Coincidentally, the second disciple who came out was the very same person who struck up a conversation with Huang Xiaolong at the foothills. When he walked out and spotted Huang Xiaolong waiting outside, he couldn’t help being surprised.

He reached his side, laughing, “Brother, I really couldn’t tell ah! You’re actually the first one to come out. How much time did you spend? Six hours? Maybe it was five?”

Huang Xiaolong shook his head, a mysterious smile on his face: “No.”

That family disciple’s expression turned a little strange, “Then… four hours?”

Huang Xiaolong shook his head again.

Suddenly, that family disciple burst into laughter, looking like he just had an epiphany. “So, you just come out a moment ago.” In his opinion, just like himself, Huang Xiaolong must have spent over seven hours inside the illusion array, being just a second or two faster than him.

Wu Gen and the other disciples felt the corners of their mouth twitch by reflex.

The day came to an end, and so did the first part of the exam.

Like Wu Gen estimated earlier, roughly three hundred people passed.

When Wu Gen’s group was about to lead the remaining group to the location of the second part, the group became noisy all of a sudden. From afar, a small group of Fortune Gate female disciples was flying towards them, and the person right in front was clad entirely in white, including the veil covering her face.

In that moment, all the present disciples’ eyes were on that female disciple’s slender figure.

‘Li Lu!’

A trace of complexity flitted across Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

Seeing this, Wu Gen and the several in-name disciples took a few steps forward.

“Seventh Junior sister is here.” Wu Gen greeted Li Lu.

Despite being the last of the Fortune Gate Ancestor’s disciples, with barely over two hundred years since she had joined the Fortune Gate, her status and identity were much higher than his.

Li Lu nodded, returning his greeting, “Fifth Senior brother.”

Wu Gen smiled warmly, “You’ve come just in time, I was about to bring those who have passed the first part to your place, but you were faster than me. This time, there’s actually a disciple that took a shorter time than you to pass the illusion array, slightly over three minutes. I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes!” He pointed at Huang Xiaolong.

“What?! Just over three minutes!” The family disciple who came out second couldn’t help shrieking out loud. The others’ attention fell on Huang Xiaolong.

Li Lu’s eyes slightly widened in astonishment, but when her gaze fell on Huang Xiaolong, her slender body trembled, disbelief rose to her face. She was feeling surprise, guilt, and a little happiness.

Li Lu secretly took a deep breath and slowly walked toward Huang Xiaolong. Even though there was a veil over her face, almost everyone could tell that she was excited. This stunned Wu Gen. This black-haired young man might have passed the illusion array in a short three minutes, but Seventh Junior Apprentice sister needn’t not feel so excited!

Huang Xiaolong looked at Li Lu where the stood, without blinking.
