(Seeking Recommendations and Likes) “A few days ago, our Heavenly Mystical Mansion’s guards went out to purchase some items, and they encountered guards from the Prime Minister Mansion who claimed that those items had been reserved by them earlier,” Fei Hou replied.

“An argument broke out, and eventually, the Prime Minister Mansion’s guards attacked, injuring our Heavenly Mystical Mansion guards, leading to a fight.”

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

The Prime Minister Mansion?

“Issue an order that from now on, when you see guards from the Prime Minister Mansion, there’s no need to be polite.

Beat them up or cripple them, just make sure they don’t die,” Huang Xiaolong said coldly.

“Yes, Sect Leader!” Fei Hou respectfully responded.

“Any news about the Divine Hall?” Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s tone shifted as he pondered out loud.

Over the past year or more, Huang Xiaolong had consistently tasked Fei Hou with gathering information about the Divine Hall and Li Lu.

Fei Hou shook his head: “There is still no news.”

For the past year and more, he had utilized almost all the connections at his disposal, even having those from the Outer Kingdom’s Fei Residence to inquire and investigate, but there was still no news of the Divine Hall.

The Divine Hall seemed to be untraceable, and during the investigation, there was always some kind of intangible resistance, an indescribable and inexplicable obstacle.

Fei Hou continued to tell Huang Xiaolong about the type of resistance they faced.

After listening, Huang Xiaolong fell into deep thought.

Untraceable?

It seems that the power of the Divine Hall is even more enormous than I imagined.

“I wonder how Li Lu is doing now,” Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

Last year, after Li Lu left, the new year celebrations at Heavenly Mystical Mansion were far less jovial.

Now, another year was drawing to an end, and in just over a month, it would be the new year again.

However, with the awakening of Li Lu’s second Martial Soul, the Dark and Light Dual Sword Martial Soul, one positive, one opposite, harmonizing Yin and Yang, her cultivation speed was astonishing.

Over this past year and more, she should have reached the Eighth Stage, right?

Huang Xiaolong then asked Fei Hou about the current situation of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce.

The Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce had now opened branches in some neighboring countries and was making a profit of a hundred thousand Gold Coins a day.

Since the incident with the Blue Cloud Pavilion at the Great Chao County branch last year, Huang Xiaolong had ordered Fei Hou to recruit Seventh Order, Eighth Order, and Tenth Order experts to strengthen the security and protection forces of the major branches.

Now, the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce had plenty of money.

Although it was difficult to recruit Tenth Order experts, it was still possible to recruit those of the Seventh and Eighth Orders.

After hearing Fei Hou’s report, Huang Xiaolong inquired about Fei Hou’s cultivation progress.

Fei Hou had reached the Sixth Level of the Thunder Water Technique that Huang Xiaolong taught him and was now at the peak of Innate First-Order Late Stage, but it would still take several years to break through to the Innate Second Stage.

After all, with only a top-grade level ten Martial Soul and his limited talent, even with continuous cultivation and consumption of Huang Xiaolong’s Flame Dragon Pearls over the past few years, advancing to Innate Second Stage wouldn’t happen quickly.

A while later, Fei Hou took his leave.

As Fei Hou was leaving, Huang Xiaolong gave him thirty more Flame Dragon Pearls.

Had it not been for Fei Hou over these past seven years, the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t have developed so quickly.

Although Fei Hou was merely executing Huang Xiaolong’s plans and ideas, without him, the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce might not even be half its current size.

After Fei Hou left, Huang Xiaolong went to his parents Huang Peng and Su Yan’s courtyard, where they were practicing their combat skills.

Over the years, Huang Peng and Su Yan’s strength had greatly improved.

Huang Peng had now reached the peak of Early Stage Eighth Order, and Su Yan had also reached Seventh-Stage Late Stage Peak.

Huang Xiaolong’s arrival brought joy to both of them.

They stopped their training, and Su Yan especially kept talking to Huang Xiaolong about various things, warming his heart as he watched his parents Huang Peng and Su Yan.

More than two hours later, Huang Xiaolong left his parents’ courtyard to continue his cultivation within the God Capturing Ring.

Although he had already broken through to the Peak of the Late Stage Tenth Order, Huang Xiaolong still hoped to advance to Innate before heading to the Broken Blade Empire to participate in the Imperial City Battle next year.

If he ranked higher in the Imperial City Battle of the Broken Blade Empire, he would be given more importance at the Broken Blade Academy afterward, and he would receive more cultivation resources, which would be greatly beneficial to Huang Xiaolong’s future cultivation.

Although Huang Xiaolong was the Sect Master of the Asura Sect, he was not yet the true Sect Master of the Asura Sect and couldn’t obtain the sect’s cultivation resources.

Another month had passed.

In this month, aside from cultivating the Asura Technique, Huang Xiaolong had also been diligently practicing the Yijinjing, feeling that a breakthrough in the Tenth Posture should not be far away.

Besides the Asura Technique and the Yijinjing, Huang Xiaolong focused on cultivating the Asura Sword Technique and the Imprisoning God Palm.

As for the Asura Ghost Claw, Huang Xiaolong spent less time practicing it.

After all, cultivating the Asura Ghost Claw required the absorption of Blood Soul Energy.

A month went by, and Huang Xiaolong’s Combat Energy Cultivation had improved significantly, inching infinitely closer to Innate.

Now at the Peak of the Late Stage Tenth Order, Huang Xiaolong’s muscles were extraordinarily full and firm, his tendons more powerful in their stretch, bursting with ferocious strength, and his skin was extremely tough.

Huang Xiaolong estimated that, even if a Peak of Late Stage Tenth Order Expert were to slash him with a sharp blade while he was under the effect of the Black Dragon Soul Transformation, it would just leave a shallow mark, unable to cut through his skin!

“Tomorrow is the academy’s grand competition,” Huang Xiaolong mused to himself.

This time, Huang Xiaolong was determined to not only take first place in the third-year class but also to win the first place in the overall academy competition!

Huang Xiaolong emerged from the Ancient Battlefield.

When he arrived at the hall, his parents Huang Peng and Su Yan, along with his sister Huang Min and younger brother Huang Xiaohai, were all there, chatting and laughing, evidently discussing something.

“What are you all talking about?” Huang Xiaolong walked into the hall and smiled.

Everyone turned their eyes towards Huang Xiaolong, all showing joy.

“Xiaolong, you’ve come out of seclusion just in time.

Min’er is planning to bring Guo Tai over for dinner in a few days,” Su Yan said with a smile.

“Oh, is that so?” Huang Xiaolong looked towards his sister Huang Min.

Huang Min nodded her head shyly.

“Does Guo Shiyuan know about your relationship?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

Huang Min shook her head and said, “Guo Tai plans to tell his father about it in a few days.”

Su Yan said, “Even though the Guo Family is a great family in the Broken Blade Empire, our Heavenly Mystical Mansion’s Huang Family is not weak either.

Min’er is absolutely worthy of Guo Tai.

When Guo Shiyuan finds out, he will surely have no objections.”

Huang Xiaolong nodded, sat down in the hall, then inquired about his brother Huang Xiaohai’s situation at the Star Sky Academy.

Although his brother was two years younger than his sister Huang Min, Huang Xiaohai possessed a superior Martial Soul talent.

After the new year turned, at only fourteen years old, he had already reached the Sixth-stage Late Stage.

That night, darkness enveloped the surroundings.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t cultivate but instead stood in the courtyard, lost in thoughts about certain people and events.

In another month, after the new year, he would be seventeen years old.

Seventeen years old, he would have been in this Martial Soul World for seventeen years.

“I wonder if there’s still a chance to return to Earth,” Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

As the night grew darker, Huang Xiaolong sat meditating in the courtyard for a while, taking a moment to regulate his breathing.

As dawn approached, Huang Xiaolong finally stood up, left the courtyard, and headed to the hall where he joined his sister and brother on their way to Star Sky Academy.

Upon arriving at Star Sky Academy, they encountered Lu Kai.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong, Lu Kai broke into a happy face, walked up to Huang Xiaolong, and playfully punched him on the shoulder, saying with a laugh, “Brother, you’ve just been promoted to the third year; surely you’re not thinking of taking the first place in our class again?”
