Chapter 1125: Li Lu’s Situation (2/2)
Huang Xiaolong shook his head, refusing gently, “No need, I will be participating in the All-Islands Great War.”
He hadn’t reached the point of requiring a woman’s help to enter the Fortune Gate.
Cheng Susu was surprised by his answer, “The All-Islands Great War? But there are close to a hundred thousand disciples participating, and only the top one thousand disciples are qualified to enter the Fortune Gate. Are you sure you want to take this route? Also, there’s only a decade’s time until the next All-Islands Great War, with your current strength… Forget top one thousand, even top ten thousand would be difficult!” Cheng Susu shook her head at the end, disagreeing.
It wasn’t her intention to give Huang Xiaolong’s confidence a severe blow, only speaking from the standpoint of a friend. Huang Xiaolong was only a mid-Sixth Order Heavenly God currently, at most he might be able to break through to Seventh Order in a mere decade's time, or mid-Seventh Order Heavenly God Realm.
In the past All-Islands Great Wars, in order to enter the top one thousand, one needed to have Tenth Order Heavenly God Realm strength at the very least.
She could naturally see that Huang Xiaolong’s battle prowess wasn't ordinary, but no matter how extraordinary it was, Cheng Susu couldn’t imagine how he could enter the top one thousand with just a decade of effort.
Understanding that Cheng Susu said those words out of concern, Huang Xiaolong smiled, “If I fail to enter the top one thousand in the coming All-Islands Great War, then I will participate in the next one. I’ll definitely succeed somehow.”
Cheng Susu shook her head at his stubbornness, “Even if you succeed in grabbing a spot in the top one thousand in the next All-Islands Great War and enter our Fortune Gate, you won’t catch any Grand Elder’s fancy unless you’re within the top ten. You might successfully enter the sect, but with your common disciple status, there would be no chance in the world that you’ll be able to meet Li Lu.”
Huang Xiaolong didn't know how to reply, smiling silently.
The night soon passed.
When morning came, Cheng Susu stood up and bid farewell to Huang Xiaolong.
“You’re leaving now?” Huang Xiaolong was stumped, “This place is still within the sea tribes' territory, going alone…?”
Cheng Susu shook her head, “It’s alright, we’ve left the Soul Tribe’s territory, I have a way to safely return to the Fortune Gate.” Cheng Susu took out a communication talisman and gave it to Huang Xiaolong, saying, “If you come to the Fortune Mainland for the next All-Islands Great War, look for me.” She blinked mischievously at Huang Xiaolong, “For your Li Lu, you must strive a hundred times harder.”
Huang Xiaolong accepted her communication talisman, helpless at her teasing. “I will.”
Having said their farewells, Huang Xiaolong watched her figure disappear above the Endless Sea.
“Are we returning to the Punishing Heaven City now?” The little cow asked Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong looked at Xie Du, Xie Tu, and Bing Jiuyi’s injuries, shaking his head, “There's no hurry.” The three puppets’ injuries had yet to completely heal, moreover, he planned to first refine the two Fourth Order Ancient God Realm Cloud Devouring Divine Beast corpses into puppets. It wouldn't be too late to head to the Punishing Heaven City at that time.
With that, Huang Xiaolong stayed on the small island.
At one of the cliffs on the island, Huang Xiaolong dug a tunnel that went straight into the belly of the hill and smashed out a big cave. He had the little cow lay out several formations at the entrance before taking out the two Cloud Devouring Divine Beast corpses.
Looking at the two corpses, Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged on the ground as he began circulating the Grandmist Parasite Medium. His concentration was solely focused, entering the first Cloud Devouring Divine Beast’s mind.
However, when his soul force had just entered the beast corpse’s mind, a brutal and savage force slammed against Huang Xiaolong’s soul force.
