Chapter 1243: The Day Of the New Disciples Battle (1/2)
A cold glint flitted across Huang Xiaolong’s eyes as he recalled that Wangu Ziyi had deliberately bought all the chaos spiritual liquids from the Infinite Circles Commerce Hall that Huang Xiaolong needed for repairing the Pill Blending Tower.
Five strikes!
At the Ten Thousand Elephant Royal City, Huang Xiaolong also remembered clearly that Wangu Ziyi had said he would defeat him in five strikes.
The Four Mainlands’ New Disciples Battle was about two weeks away, yet Huang Xiaolong suddenly felt like the time was moving too slow, as he was eager for the New Disciples Battle to begin.
Huang Xiaolong had heard from Luo Yunjie that Wangu Ziyi, Wangu Dongchen, and other Wangu Clan members had already arrived at the Golden Wheel City.
On top of that, Wangu Ziyi and Guo Gang had grown close lately. From what Luo Yunjie had mentioned, someone had seen the two of them drinking wine together at a restaurant, while Guo Gang had been clamoring to Wangu Ziyi to help him teach Huang Xiaolong a lesson on the battle stage.
In the days after, Huang Xiaolong remained in his courtyard, swallowing thirty golden beads and cultivating the Grandmist Parasitic Medium.
After he had successfully cultivated the Grandmist Parasitic Medium, his three supreme godheads' speed in refining the purple grandmist aura dragon was many times faster. Additionally, with the Moon Jade Heavenly Spiral Shell's moon essence and the four divine fires' chaos spiritual energy, Huang Xiaolong felt his strength was enhancing every day.
Occasionally, Huang Xiaolong would go visit Li Lu. On one of these occasions, he gave Li Lu several hundred golden beads. Based on Li Lu's cultivation speed, several hundred golden beads were enough to last her a decade.
Li Lu had dazed for half a day in shock after she had seen the several hundred golden beads in Huang Xiaolong’s hand. As for Wu Qian'er, Huang Xiaolong only gave her five golden beads.
Two weeks went by in the blink of an eye. The day of the Four Mainlands’ New Disciples Battle had finally arrived.
In the main hall, Golden Brow Ancestor scrutinized Huang Xiaolong, Zhou Xu, and the others, then said, “Once we return to the Fortune Gate, whoever can enter the top ten ranks in the New Disciples Battle, will be given additional rewards by our Fortune Gate on top of the New Disciples Battle’s rewards.”
The ten disciples’ eyes brightened visibly as they wondered what would be the Fortune Gate’s luxurious rewards.
Blood Knife Ancestor, Sky Sword Ancestor, Myriad Flames Ancestor, and Black Ice Ancestor also said some encouraging words to the disciples, before twenty plus people departed the Golden Wheel City and flew to the Ten Thousand Elephant Mountain peak.
The Golden Wheel City was located on the slope of the Ten Thousand Elephant Mountain. Given their speed, the group would reach the peak in two hours.
At this moment, the first rays of dawn were peeking from the horizon.
Two hours later, the group reached the mountain’s peak, and the sky had brightened by then.
There was an enormous square on the peak of the Ten Thousand Elephant Mountain that could accommodate more than ten thousand people. A large crowd had gathered at the center of the square, and most of these people were Vientiane World’s top forces’ experts.
Vientiane World’s top forces’ experts would always come to spectate stage battles of this magnitude that involved the four mainlands. However, there was an area that was guarded by the Golden Wheel City’s army, where only the sects’ Elders and above could enter.
When Huang Xiaolong’s group arrived, it stirred the crowd at the square.
”Fortune Gate’s people are here!”
“The black-haired young man behind Golden Brow Ancestor—is that Huang Xiaolong? I have heard that during the All-Islands Great War, Huang Xiaolong defeated Dragon Origin Sect’s Zhou Xu, while he was still a peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly God Realm. Not to mention, Zhou Xu’s cultivation was already at early Third Order Ancient God Realm at that time!”
“Maybe the Fortune Gate deliberately made such a rumor. How can a peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly God Realm defeat an early Third Order Ancient God Realm master?!”
Everyone gossiped amongst themselves. Almost everyone’s gaze fell on Huang Xiaolong’s body.
Hearing these talks, Zhou Xu’s expression turned increasingly ugly.
Three years ago, he, the Dragon Origin Sect’s number one genius disciple who had already reached early Third Order Ancient God Realm was defeated by Huang Xiaolong, an unknown disciple who was still a peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly God Realm from a small Barbarian God Sect. That was the biggest humiliation of his life!
