Invincible Over the World
Chapter 128 - 128 128 Meeting Jiang Teng Again

128: Chapter 128: Meeting Jiang Teng Again 128: Chapter 128: Meeting Jiang Teng Again A while later, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu arrived.

After they arrived, as usual, they delivered the opening speeches before the match and then announced the start of the competition.

In the sixth class of the second grade, the class instructor, Chen Feirong, still recommended Huang Xiaolong and Lu Kai.

During the last academy tournament, Lu Kai was at the Seventh-stage Late Stage Peak, but a year had passed, and the young man had finally broken through to the Eighth Stage.

Standing on the stage, Lu Kai summoned his Heavenly Eagle Martial Soul, instantly underwent Soul Transformation, and without saying a word, he launched a Great Annihilation Fist attack at Huang Xiaolong.

Although he knew he was bound to lose, as the prince of the Luotong Kingdom, Lu Kai had to face Huang Xiaolong, no matter how strong he was, otherwise the impact would be terrible.

Watching Lu Kai after the Soul Transformation launch the Great Annihilation Fist, Huang Xiaolong stood on the stage without flinching, under the astonished gaze of the crowd, Lu Kai’s punch landed on Huang Xiaolong’s chest.

“Thud!” A resonating sound followed.

Lu Kai and everyone else were taken aback, all surprised.

Just as Lu Kai and everyone else were shocked that Huang Xiaolong had not fought back, Lu Kai was shocked to find that when his punch hit Huang Xiaolong’s chest, it was as if he had struck against an incredibly hard iron wall.

Huang Xiaolong stood there, unmoving, standing tall as a mountain.

“This!” Lu Kai’s eyes widened.

At that moment, a terrifying force surged from within Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong’s right shoulder jerked forward, causing Lu Kai to stagger backward uncontrollably and fall off the stage.

Everyone was stunned.

Lu Kai was somewhat dazed as well.

He had already broken through to the Eighth Stage, and with Soul Transformation, coupled with the Earth Rank Combat Skill Great Annihilation Fist, even a warrior at the Peak of Eighth Rank without Soul Transformation would not dare to withstand his punch like this!

Now, Huang Xiaolong hadn’t even undergone Soul Transformation, had withstood his Great Annihilation Fist, and hadn’t even used his hands to directly knock him off the stage?

Lu Kai shook his head and bitterly smiled, “This freak, couldn’t have broken through to the Ninth Rank, could he?”

Unless Huang Xiaolong had broken through to Ninth Rank!

Like Lu Kai, almost everyone concluded that Huang Xiaolong had broken through to the Ninth Rank.

On the presidential platform, Sun Zhang, looking at the outcome, commented with a smile, “This little guy, has he broken through to Ninth Rank?

He’s half a year ahead of our predictions again!”

“Indeed, and in just another month, this young fellow will be only sixteen, right?” Xiong Chu exclaimed, admiringly watching Huang Xiaolong on the stage.

A sixteen-year-old Ninth Rank!

In the entire history of the Broken Blade Empire, there had been no such precedent!

Freak, monster, neither word could adequately describe Huang Xiaolong now.

Super freak, super monster!

Huang Xiaolong defeated Lu Kai without any suspense and claimed first place in his class, then went on to become the first in his grade as well.

Similarly, Huang Xiaolong easily defeated the other first-placers from second-grade classes and secured the first position in the second grade.

However, Chen Caixiu, one of the academy’s top three beauties who had been defeated by Huang Xiaolong last time, had already broken through to the Ninth Rank, passed the promotion assessment, and moved up to the third grade, so, in the final competition, Huang Xiaolong’s opponent was not Chen Caixiu.

A few hours later, this year’s academy competition ended.

As in previous years, besides the normal awards, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu gave Huang Xiaolong an additional High-level Fifth Grade Spirit Pill.

Now, Huang Xiaolong participated in the academy competitions annually not for the sake of practicing at the Dragon Flame Valley, but for the three Fifth Grade Spirit Pills from the academy.

Huang Xiaolong allocated and consumed these three Fifth Grade Spirit Pills annually among his parents, his sister, and his brother.

Although Huang Xiaolong’s Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce now earned millions of Gold Coins per year, Fifth Grade Spirit Pills were not something money could buy.

When Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu handed the High-level Fifth Grade Spirit Pill to Huang Xiaolong, Huang Xiaolong mentioned to them his application for the promotion assessment to the third year.

Sun Zhang smiled and said, “You’ve now broken through to the Ninth Rank, so with your strength, you’re already stronger than many students in the third grade.

However, to be promoted to the third grade, you must complete the academy’s assessment, a rule we cannot break.”

Xiong Chu then smiled and said, “The semester has now ended.

Your application for the promotion examination will have to wait until next year.

When the next semester starts, come to us, and we will make the arrangements.”

Huang Xiaolong nodded, “Alright then.”

Seeing that Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu, like everyone else, misinterpreted his breakthrough as only reaching the Ninth Rank, Huang Xiaolong did not correct them, as revealing his advancement to the Tenth Rank would be too shocking.

In the last year’s competition, he had defeated Chen Caixiu when he was only at the Late Stage Peak of Eighth Rank, and now, only a year later, if people knew he had broken through to the Tenth Rank, it would probably alarm even the Broken Blade Empire millions of miles away.

Of course, the people of the Broken Blade Empire would likely already be aware of the fact that Huang Xiaolong revealed his Twelfth Level Peak Martial Soul, the Ancient Divine Dragon—Black Dragon.

As a genius youth possessing such a Super Martial Soul, the Broken Blade Empire would definitely pay attention to his growth.

However, the Broken Blade Empire would not deliberately protect and nurture Huang Xiaolong and others unless they managed to secure a place among the top hundred in the Imperial City battle and enter the Broken Blade Academy.

After the competition ended, Huang Xiaolong, along with his sister and brother, returned to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.

His sister, Huang Min, indeed secured the first position in her class.

After returning to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion, Huang Xiaolong continued his cultivation in the Ancient Battlefield.

Soon, a month passed.

A month went by, and in two more days it would be the New Year.

The entire Heavenly Mystical Mansion was lit up with lights and decorations, brimming with joy and bustling with excitement.

Huang Xiaolong also took a break from his cultivation, taking time to chat more with his parents, sister, and brother.

Though he had been in this world for sixteen years, most of Huang Xiaolong’s time was spent in cultivation, leaving not much time to spend chatting with his family.

“It’s a pity that Li Lu isn’t here,” Su Yan suddenly spoke during the family’s chat in the hall, “otherwise, this New Year’s celebration would have been even livelier.”

Huang Min also said, “Yes, it would have been great if Sister Li Lu were here!”

The hall fell somewhat quiet.

Huang Xiaolong stood up, walked out of the hall, and strolled around the streets to catch some fresh air.

The streets were covered with a thin layer of snow, and although the weather was very cold, there were many pedestrians, making the streets lively with the sounds of people buying New Year’s goods.

Huang Xiaolong watched the commoners buying their New Year’s goods, happily preparing for the New Year.

He felt content seeing their joyful expressions—indeed, the desires of people are simple.

Being together happily with one’s family is what constitutes happiness.

After wandering around for a while, Huang Xiaolong returned to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.

That night, the Heavenly Mystical Mansion was brightly lit.

Huang Xiaolong did not practice cultivation but instead helped his sister Huang Min and brother Huang Xiaohai with some issues they encountered in their cultivation.

Soon, the New Year passed.

The new semester at Star Sky Academy began.

Huang Xiaolong arrived at Star Sky Academy and headed straight for the dean’s office, but he did not expect to see Jiang Teng there when he entered the dean’s office.

Years had passed, and Jiang Teng had grown into a young man over one meter seventy tall.

However, despite years passing and having a Super Martial Soul, the Bright Holy Tiger, and being nurtured by Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu, he only reached the Late Seventh Stage.

Now, Huang Xiaolong was an existence he looked up to; the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

Jiang Teng clearly had not anticipated encountering Huang Xiaolong either, since he had been deliberately avoiding him, resulting in them not having seen each other for two or three years.

“Brother Huang!” Jiang Teng, seeing Huang Xiaolong enter, hastily stood up, stuttering nervously.
