Chapter 2494: Lucky B*stard! (2/2)
After all, there were more than two thousand Ninth Tribulation half-True Saints who took part in the trial.
There were tons of them who were crowded out due to their lackl.u.s.ter performance, but Huang Xiaolong’s name actually appeared on the stele!
On the 996th position, clear markings indicated, “Holy Heavens, Huang Xiaolong!”
Tyrant Chu, Cao Nan, Mo Cangli, Duan Xuan, Shen Jiewen, Bai Moyang, Jin Nu of the Vajra Race, Gui Buw.a.n.g of the Ghost Talisman Holy Gate, Zhan Zhiyuan, and the others quickly noticed the anomaly.
They widened their eyes in shock.
Even though Huang Xiaolong had three saint G.o.dheads and the Holy Mandate Imprint, he was only a Fourth Tribulation half-True Saint! No matter how strong he was, no one felt that he could defeat a Ninth Tribulation Half Saint. After all, anyone who could enter the Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint Realm in a hundred thousand years probably had terrifying talent and decent combat abilities.
Not a single person present could remain calm.
Tyrant Chu finally revealed a smile as his chest loosened up. The brat didn’t let him down. Even though he ranked in the nine hundreds, it was a feat to appear on the board with his cultivation level. If the news got out, no one would laugh at Huang Xiaolong. After all, it was already a miracle for a Fourth Tribulation half-True Saint to enter the leaderboards.
“Heh, isn’t that just the nine hundred ranks? Look at yourself…,” Cao Nan couldn’t help but sneer when he saw the smile on Tyrant Chu’s face. “Do you really think that he can keep this up? He will probably fall out of the rankings in a minute. He’s just lucky to be ranked in the top thousand.”
Before he was done, Huang Xiaolong’s name disappeared from its spot. Rising by a few positions, he replaced the name in the 995th position.
Tyrant Chu snickered. “He’s pretty lucky! That’s my boy!” His gaze couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ft onto Xie Bufan’s place. “Look at your disciple. He’s probably in the third position because of his luck. Shouldn’t he be ranked in the seventh or eighth place?”
The Devil Palace was confident that Xie Bufan would be able to fight for the top spot after his cultivation in the Death Cave. However, looking at the ranking chart, it seemed as though something was wrong. Cao Nan couldn’t help but feel a sense of irritation in his heart. When he heard that his disciple could only obtain his current achievement because of luck, he nearly exploded in rage.
Soon after, everyone realized that Huang Xiaolong’s name was rising in the ranks every minute.
“994!”
“994!”
…
“990!”
Every time his name climbed up in a rank, everyone screamed in fright. In several short minutes, he climbed by six ranks.
An hour quickly pa.s.sed and Huang Xiaolong’s rank was no longer as low as it was.
“8… 899?!”
“He has already broken past the nine hundred ranks!” Someone in the crowd screamed.
A commotion broke through the crowd in an instant.
Initially, no one had faith that Huang Xiaolong would last through the trial, much less make it through. Even someone like Xue Lingyun believed that he had entered the ranking charts due to his luck. However, he had managed to climb into the 899th rank in a short hour! Xue Lingyun was shocked, and the faces of those, who hated Huang Xiaolong with a pa.s.sion, couldn’t be described.
Even Tyrant Chu didn’t believe his eyes. He stared at Huang Xiaolong’s name and a single thought flashed in his mind. There’s no way this brat’s luck is so good… right?!
