Chapter 1464: Not Merely Surpassed (2/2)
Could it be that Huang Xiaolong had some connection to one of the Hall Masters?
Then again, even if Huang Xiaolong had some connection to one of the Hall Masters, his Grandfather Han Liang didn’t need to act so humble?
Not to mention, how could a newly arrived outer sect disciple have any direct connection to a Hall Master?
Wait—! Grand-Martial Uncle Huang?
That means...
Han Liang glared sullenly at Han Tongfei but did not mention Huang Xiaolong’s rank in the rankings competition. Instead, he questioned Han Tongfei about why he had a conflict with Huang Xiaolong.
When Han Liang heard Han Tongfei repeat what Zhu Feng had said, Han Liang looked piercingly at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng felt his limbs grow cold under Han Liang’s piercing glare. His mouth moved as he tried to say something, but he couldn’t think of anything to say.
“Bring Zhu Feng back to the Enforcement Hall!” Han Liang ordered the surrounding Enforcement Hall’s disciples.
“Yes, Grand Elder Han!” The surrounding disciples complied in sonorous voices.
Zhu Feng blacked out at Han Liang’s order. Although he had been a frequent visitor to the Enforcement Hall, and had always wanted to be a member of the Enforcement Hall, there was a huge difference in ‘visiting’ and ‘being brought in.’
“Grandfather.” Han Tongfei tried to plead on Zhu Feng’s behalf, but he was cut off by Han Liang, “Let’s go back first.”
With Han Liang leading them, Han Tongfei and all the Enforcement Hall’s disciples departed from the Crimson Crescent City and flew back to the Fortune Enforcement Hall.
After the group was out of the city, Han Liang spoke, “You are curious about why I was so polite to Huang Xiaolong, aren’t you?”
Han Tongfei nodded his head, while other Enforcement Hall’s disciples quietly perked up their ears to listen.
“Huang Xiaolong won the first place in the last batch of rankings competition!” Han Liang began slowly.
“What, first place!” Han Tongfei and the other Enforcement Hall’s disciples were astonished.
No, wait!
Han Tongfei blurted out, “Grandfather, I’ve heard that in the last batch of disciples’ rankings competition, there was a God King Realm supreme godhead genius called Peng Xiao. Apart from Peng Xiao, there were two other God King Realm disciples as well, is that so?!”
Han Liang looked at the sky and sighed. “Even though Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation realm is just at the peak early Tenth Order Ancestor God Realm, neither Peng Xiao nor the other two God King Realm disciples were a match against him!”
There was a dumbfounded expression on Han Tongfei and the other disciples’ faces.
“I think you can imagine his battle strength.” Han Liang’s eyes fell on the injury on Han Tongfei’s chest where Huang Xiaolong’s punch had landed.
Han Liang added, “Huang Xiaolong not only took the first place in the last batch of the disciples’ competition, but he also became the overall champion!”
Han Tongfei cried out, “Grandfather, yo-you’re saying... that... Huang Xiaolong has accumulated more Fortune Divine Fruits than the supreme godhead genius Sun Shihai?!”
“Not only surpassed, but Huang Xiaolong has accumulated more than three thousand five hundred Fortune Divine Fruits!” Han Liang said with a complicated expression.
Over three thousand five hundred!
Han Tongfei and the other disciples found this information unbelievable.
That was three times more than Sun Shihai’s result!
“Huang Xiaolong’s performance has even alerted the Chief of Hall Masters, our Fortune Emperor, and Ancestor Chen Yirong, Ancestor Li Shan, and Ancestor Zhou Chen!” Han Liang's voice was trembling slightly as he continued, ”In the examination hall, Ancestor Chen Yirong publicly said that he's willing to break the rules and accept Huang Xiaolong as his disciple-in-name!”
