Chapter 1164: Don’t Be In A Hurry To Leave Ah (1/2)
In this month, the names and rankings on the crystal wall had seen numerous changes and were still moving up and down. However, no matter how the ranking changed, the Dragon Origin Island’s number one genius Zhou Xu stood firmly in the first place.
From the beginning until now, Zhou Xu’s spot had never been shaken by anyone, including Luo Yunjie and Tan Lin who were persistently chasing. As a result, Tan Lin and Luo Yunjie’s positions kept alternating between second and third place.
One hour ago, Tan Lin was in the second place, while in the next hour it was Luo Yunjie in the second place.
On the Fortune City square, Ancestor Ouyang Bin, Patriarch Ouyang Xuguang, as well as Grand Elder Ouyang Jiang and the rest did not look very happy as their stared at the crystal wall’s twenty-eight place.
In the twenty-eighth place was Huang Xiaolong’s name, emitting a radiant light.
A month prior, they loudly claimed that Huang Xiaolong would be kicked out of the top one hundred very soon, however, a month later, not only had Huang Xiaolong not fallen out of the top one hundred ranking, he had also maintained his ranking in the top thirty.
In the early days, Huang Xiaolong’s ranking rose and plummeted; the lowest was over seventy but very soon it rose back up to twenty-something.
On top of that, as the days passed, Huang Xiaolong’s ranking seemingly stabilized within the top thirty whereas Ouyang Yunfei actually fell out of the top one hundred the day before!
One hundred and two, this was Ouyang Yunfei’s current position on the ranking.
At this instant, the Ouyang Clan group felt that Huang Xiaolong’s name was jarring to their eyes.
If there was no grudge between them and the Barbarian God Sect, the Ouyang Clan group couldn’t care less about Huang Xiaolong’s performance in the All-Islands Great War, it would have nothing to do with them. But now, every time they thought of certain a peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly God Realm brat that was in the twenty-eighth place, many times higher than their Ouyang Clan's number one genius, it was like thorns repeatedly stabbing into their hearts.
“It’s been over a month! This damn brat, how could his ranking remain so high? How could it be so much higher than Yunfei’s?!” The Ouyang Clan’s Ancestor, Ouyang Bin, was extremely dissatisfied.
“Perhaps this Huang Xiaolong found some Buddhism scriptures and cultivated one or two Buddhism related techniques. If this is the case, dealing with the magic beasts, ghouls, and evil spirits in the Extraterritorial Devil Battlefield would be much easier.” Ouyang Clan Patriarch Ouyang Xuguang made an assumption.
“That should be it!” Ouyang Bin nodded in agreement to Ouyang Xuguang’s conjecture. “Buddhist techniques were the bane of all magic beasts, ghouls, and evil spirits.” Saying this,Ouyang Bin suddenly frowned, “Judging from this brat’s strength, he can probably rank in the top three hundred in the final round; meaning to say, he could very well enter the Fortune Gate.”
The top one thousand All-Islands Great War participants were qualified to become Fortune Gate disciples. Participants below the Ancient God Realm would be received as outer disciples, while those in the Ancient God Realm would be inner disciples.
Huang Xiaolong becoming a Fortune Gate disciple wasn't something Ouyang Bin was willing to see happen.
“Ancestor, rest assured, before the final round begins, I’ll give Elder Gong Fei some benefits, arranging this Huang Xiaolong to be on the same battle stage as Yunfei,” Ouyang Xuguang said, adding, “Even if this brat passes the preliminary round, he’s bound to die in the final round! At that time, Yunfei can take this brat to practice and vent some anger.”
Although the final round stage battles were determined through drawing lots, a five-time All-Islands Great War Overseeing Elder like Gong Fei could easily change the name list of each battle stage.
Arranging for Huang Xiaolong to fight Ouyang Yunfei was only a small matter.
Ouyang Bin’s eyes lit up hearing this, nodding in appreciation: “This would be best!”
Contrary to the gloom and anger among the Ouyang Clan group, Lu Zhuo, Zhu Huan, and the rest were ecstatic looking at Huang Xiaolong’s ranking, smiles etched on their faces. On the first day of preliminary round,Lu Zhuo was worried that Huang Xiaolong would be kicked out of the top one hundred before the end of the day, but now, he felt like his earlier worry was in vain.
