Chapter 1784: Battling the Brightness Emperor’s Disciple Lan Tailong (2/2)

Fang Xuanxuan hurried to Peng Xiao’s side and put her arm around her to lend her some support. “Xiaoxiao, are you alright?”

Peng Xiao squeezed a smile on her pale face and reassured her, “I’m alright.”

Although she had lost the match, she was satisfied by entering the top three thousand rankings. Despite being a supreme godhead genius, her cultivation time was shorter than the majority of participants. It was an outstanding achievement to enter into the top three thousand rankings with just peak late-Tenth Order God King Realm cultivation.

The matches on the battle stages continued, so did the whispers and gossips in the spectating crowd.

In the end, it came down to ninety disciples. Counting Huang Xiaolong and the rest of the preliminary round’s top ten disciples, the semi-finals’ top one hundred disciples were determined.

Disciples from the top ten Emperor Palaces and hidden ancient forces, like the Purple Flames Sword Sect, dominated the top one hundred rankings.

Then again, there were the occasional surprises like Huang Xiaolong, and the True Divinity Sect’s Long Shaozhen, for instance.

Other than Huang Xiaolong and Long Shaozhen, several disciples from the lower-ranking Emperor Palaces’ had managed to enter the top one hundred.

Of course, had Gudu Canyang survived the preliminary round instead of being killed off by Huang Xiaolong, he too could have entered the top one hundred rankings.

“Now, may I have the top one hundred participants here to draw a lot?” The Heavenly Court’s Marshal Yu Shi shouted as he stood on the high stage.

Huang Xiaolong stepped forward.

It was finally starting!

The moment he had been waiting for has finally arrived.

Just as Huang Xiaolong stepped forward, the Brightness Emperor’s Disciple Lan Tailong and Grandmist Emperor Palace’s Li Junhua also stepped forward. They went up to the high stage with Huang Xiaolong to draw a lot.

The Heavenly Prince Di Jing and two other princes, who had also entered into the top one hundred, also stood up.

As the top one hundred disciples went up to the high stage, streams of invisible energy collided loudly in the air.

Many of the crowd were paying attention to the Heavenly Prince Di Jing, Huang Xiaolong, Lan Tailong, Li Junhua, and Long Shaozhen.

“Who’s going to be the Heavenly Prince Di Jing and Huang Xiaolong’s first opponent? It would be exciting if they drew the same number!”

“That would be such a thrill! No one had ever seen the Heavenly Prince Di Jing battle. This is the battle the entire universe wanted to see the most. Moreover, Huang Xiaolong was the preliminary round’s champion. This made everyone believe that the battle between Huang Xiaolong and the Heavenly Prince Di Jing would be an epic showdown!”

“Huang Xiaolong has merely gotten first place in the preliminary round. There is nothing more to him than that which could compare him to the Heavenly Prince Di Jing. I’ll say it first that Huang Xiaolong won’t be able to take one strike from the Heavenly Prince Di Jing on the battle stage!”

“In this one month, the whole Divine World had talked about Huang Xiaolong. Even the other four great worlds’ top experts were paying attention to Huang Xiaolong, and many of them looked favorably upon him. Some even thought that Huang Xiaolong could become the pinnacle of existence in the future, surpassing Emperor Realm. But, if he were to lose his life on the battle stage, slapped to death by Heavenly Prince Di Jing, then that would be the funniest joke ever!”

While the crowd was discussing excitedly, Huang Xiaolong had drawn a number.

Number six!

“Huang Xiaolong has got number six. I wonder who has gotten the other number six?!” Everyone craned their necks, looking around.

Right at this time, the Brightness Emperor’s Disciple Lan Tailong flipped over his participation token number, and an eye-catching ‘6’ appeared in plain view.

“It’s the Brightness Emperor’s Disciple! The Brightness Emperor’s Disciple has the number six!”

Someone hollered. As his voice rang through the plaza, the crowd stirred in excited anticipation.

Even though Huang Xiaolong's first opponent in his first match was not the Heavenly Prince Di Jing, the fight between him and the Brightness Emperor’s Disciple Lan Tailong was enough to drive the crowd into a frenzy.

In everyone’s eyes, this was going to be an exciting and intense battle!
