Chapter 1468: Half A Year Later (1/2)

There was a neutral expression on Huang Xiaolong’s face as he watched Zhao Lei Laughing exuberantly.

Chen Yirong had said he would make an exception to accept Huang Xiaolong as his disciple-in-name. It was seemingly more glorious than becoming Zhao Lei’s personal disciple, but Huang Xiaolong was certain that Chen Yirong would not place much importance on a disciple-in-name, whereas Zhao Lei would definitely put effort in cultivating his personal disciple.

Hence, Huang Xiaolong had chosen to worship Zhao Lei as his Master instead.

There was another reason why Huang Xiaolong leaned towards Zhao Lei. He felt Zhao Lei’s personality was similar to the Black Warrior Institute Principal in the lower realm, who was also his Master Feng Yang.

Watching Zhao Lei, Huang Xiaolong felt nostalgic as if he was looking at his Master Feng Yang.

Even though his first Master was the Asura Gates Sovereign Ren Wokuang, in certain aspects, his first true Master was Feng Yang in certain aspects. This was because he had never seen Ren Wokuang nor received any guidance from Ren Wokuang. He was merely a disciple who had inherited Ren Wokuang’s heritage.

Other Hall Masters also selected their disciples from the top one hundred rankings.

Despite Liu Qin and Fu Feiyu’s poor performance in the rankings competition due to Huang Xiaolong, and even though they had fallen out of the top one hundred ranking, the Enforcement Hall Master Gongsun Chi accepted both of them as his personal disciples.

After the Hall Masters selected the disciples they wanted from the top one hundred, it was the Grand Elders’ turn to select their disciples from the top three hundred rankings.

And lastly, it was the Elders’ turn to select their choice of disciples from the top one thousand rankings.

Some disciples were accepted as personal disciples, and some were merely disciples-in-name.

At the very end a simple apprenticeship ceremony was held for all of the disciples.

In the front row were Sun Shihai and Peng Xiao kneeling in worship as disciples towards Zhou Chen and Li Shan. After them was Huang Xiaolong’s turn to kneel in worship to Zhao Lei as Master, then it was the other Hall Masters’ disciples, Grand Elders’ disciples, and finally, the Elders’ disciples.

It was a simple ceremony, but after the ceremony, Zhao Lei and Huang Xiaolong’s master-disciple relationship was ironclad. From that moment forward, Zhao Lei was Huang Xiaolong’s Master in the Fortune Emperor Palace.

Zhao Lei was smiling from ear to ear looking at Huang Xiaolong, as he was clearly very satisfied with his new disciple. Even though Huang Xiaolong’s godhead rank was not very high compared to some of the other disciples, Zhao Lei fancied Huang Xiaolong’s potential.

When Huang Xiaolong advances to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, his godhead would evolve, maybe Huang Xiaolong would give him a big surprise at that time.

Even if there were surprising changes, based on Huang Xiaolong’s current amazing battle power,Huang Xiaolong wouldn't lose to the average Emperor Realm masters at peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm.

When the ceremony ended, the Fortune Emperor Palace’s Sect Chief Fang Han briefly reiterated some general matters to the present disciples.

Fang Gan also mentioned that a grand apprenticeship ceremony would be held half a year later.

However, this grand apprenticeship ceremony was mainly going to be held for Sun Shihai and Peng Xiao, where various Emperor Palaces’ Emperors and disciples were going to be invited.

This time around, the Fortune Emperor Palace had accepted two supreme godhead geniuses, so this was naturally something worth celebrating in a big way.

After Fang Gan finished his speech, Li Shan, Chen Yirong, and Zhou Chen spoke a few irrelevant words before they took Sun Shihai and Peng Xiao away, and the rest dispersed.

Upon watching Fang Gan, Li Shan, Chen Yirong, and the rest leave, Zhao Lei said to Huang Xiaolong, “Xiaolong, you follow me back to the Augmented Lightning Palace.”

“Yes, Master.” Huang Xiaolong complied.

With that, a supple lightning force wrapped around Huang Xiaolong. Huang Xiaolong barely felt his surroundings shift, when he had already left the Supreme Harmony Hall and arrived at an enormous lightning palace.
