Chapter 187 - 187 187 The Little Monkey Finally Grew Up

187: Chapter 187: The Little Monkey Finally Grew Up 187: Chapter 187: The Little Monkey Finally Grew Up Just as the general behind Duan Wuheng was about to step forward and make Zhao Shu kneel down in salute, Duan Wuheng suddenly raised his hand to stop him and said, “Forget it.”

Duan Wuheng’s face was calm, showing neither joy nor anger.

“Yes, Second Prince!” the general replied respectfully and moved aside.

Seeing this, Yang Gang was secretly delighted.

Although Duan Wuheng did not say anything for Huang Xiaolong’s sake, he probably had a slight displeasure towards Huang Xiaolong in his heart.

This Huang Xiaolong, he can’t even train his servant properly, serves him right!

Pang Yu and others who were jealous of Huang Xiaolong were also secretly pleased.

Duan Wuheng came before everyone, glanced over them, and then calmly smiled, “Congratulations to all of you for securing the top one hundred positions in this year’s Imperial City battle.

From now on, you are students of Broken Blade Academy!”

As Duan Wuheng’s voice fell, the expressions of the crowd varied, but most were excited.

Broken Blade Academy, the highest educational institution in the Broken Blade Empire!

Entering the Broken Blade Academy was the pride of everyone in the Broken Blade Empire.

Afterward, Duan Wuheng did not say much and let Cheng Jian reward everyone individually.

The rewards were divided into three rounds.

The first round was from the eleventh to the hundredth place.

The second round was from the second to the tenth place.

The third round was for the first place!

The first round had ninety people, and naturally, the reward time was the longest.

An hour later, the first round ended, followed by the second round with Xie Puti, Yang Gang, Pang Yu, and others.

After Xie Puti, Yang Gang, Pang Yu, and others received their rewards, it was finally Huang Xiaolong’s turn.

Duan Wuheng personally presented Huang Xiaolong’s reward, whereas Xie Puti and others had their rewards given by Cheng Jian.

Only Huang Xiaolong’s reward was presented by Duan Wuheng.

For people like Yang Gang, being rewarded by Duan Wuheng was also a great honor.

Duan Wuheng handed Huang Xiaolong a beautifully crafted space ring containing twenty first-grade spiritual stones and two sixth-grade high-stage spirit pills.

Although in the Luotong Kingdom, only the Lutong King himself could possess a space ring, the rings, although rare in the Broken Blade Empire, were not as scarce as in the Luotong Kingdom.

In the Broken Blade Empire, core disciples of some major families usually possessed a space ring.

As Huang Xiaolong took the space ring containing the first-grade spiritual stones and sixth-grade high-stage spirit pills, Duan Wuheng smiled at him, “Huang Xiaolong, I hope that one day you will break through to the Holy Domain and become a guardian of our Broken Blade Empire!”

Huang Xiaolong was momentarily stunned, then solemnly nodded.

Guardian of the Broken Blade Empire!

Although he knew this was just an encouragement from Duan Wuheng, Huang Xiaolong firmly believed that he would break through the Holy Domain one day, and that day was not too far away!

At this moment, Cheng Jian stepped forward, announced the end of the rewards, and instructed everyone to leave.

Everyone respectfully complied.

However, as Huang Xiaolong was about to leave, Duan Wuheng spoke up, “Huang Xiaolong, stay a while, my father the Emperor wants to see you.”

Everyone was startled.

The Great Emperor Duanren was summoning Huang Xiaolong!

Even Xie Puti felt envious and even a bit jealous of Huang Xiaolong then as the founding Emperor of the Broken Blade Empire, the supreme existence in the hearts of all citizens of the Empire, was summoning Huang Xiaolong!

Even the previous first places in the Imperial City battles had not been granted this honor!

Yang Gang and others had mixed feelings.

As they were leaving, Cui Li stared at Huang Xiaolong with her beautiful eyes.

After Xie Puti, Cui Li and others had all left, Duan Wuheng told Huang Xiaolong, “Follow me,” and then led Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Shu away from Zhengde Square, with the palace guards following behind.

The Broken Blade Palace was vast, winding through many great halls, squares, and corridors until finally, Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian stopped in front of a deep courtyard of the palace.

By that time, the palace guards stood outside.

Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian led Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Shu inside.

After entering, they traversed four more small palace halls before reaching a large hall.

In the hall sat a middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe, his forehead marked with a Duanren Rune—it was Emperor Duanren!

As they entered the great hall, Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian hurried forward, about to bow when suddenly, to their astonishment, Emperor Duanren, who was sitting on the throne, stood up excitedly and swiftly descended from the throne.

Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian were stunned.

Then, Emperor Duanren walked down to the great hall, approaching Duan Wuheng and the others.

“Father!” Duan Wuheng stepped forward and began to speak, but it was as if Emperor Duanren hadn’t seen him bow.

Under Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian’s shocked gazes, he walked straight to Zhao Shu, who was standing behind Huang Xiaolong, and said with respect and excitement, “Is it Mr.

Zhao?”

Mr.

Zhao?!

Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian’s eyes widened in disbelief.

What had Emperor Duanren just called Huang Xiaolong’s guard?

Mr.

Zhao?!

Mr.

Zhao!

Even Huang Xiaolong was surprised and taken aback.

A thought flashed through Huang Xiaolong’s mind.

Could it be that Zhao Shu’s old acquaintance mentioned earlier was Emperor Duanren?!

It was indeed Emperor Duanren!

In that moment, under the unbelievable gazes of Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian, Zhao Shu smiled at Emperor Duanren.

“Not bad, the little monkey has finally grown up.

Over a thousand years have passed, not only have you broken through to the Holy Domain, but you have also established a great empire.”

Little monkey?!

He has finally grown up?!

Listening to Zhao Shu’s address toward Emperor Duanren, Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian staggered, nearly falling over.

Emperor Duanren, however, smiled sheepishly at Zhao Shu, “It’s just a small Broken Blade Empire, a laughable sight for Mr.

Zhao.”

Zhao Shu nodded and then said to Emperor Duanren, “This is my Young Master,” indicating Huang Xiaolong.

“Young Master?!” Emperor Duanren looked at Huang Xiaolong in shock, then felt alarmed inside.

He knew Zhao Shu’s identity—as someone who was already a Holy Domain Expert more than a thousand years ago before he had even made his breakthrough.

“Father, this is Brother Huang Xiaolong!” At this, Duan Wuheng quickly came forward, suppressing the shock in his heart, and explained to Emperor Duanren.

The way Duan Wuheng referred to Huang Xiaolong had completely changed.

Shortly after, Emperor Duanren said to Huang Xiaolong with a smile, “So you’re the Young Master Huang who won this year’s battle in the Imperial City.”

Young Master Huang!

Emperor Duanren used a term of respect.

Duan Wuheng broke out in a cold sweat, having just referred to Huang Xiaolong as “Brother,” which now seemed far too informal.

As for Cheng Jian, he had become like a wooden statue, completely stunned.

“Emperor Duanren, you flatter me,” Huang Xiaolong quickly replied.

“No, no, no, Young Master Huang can just call me by my first name from now on, call me Duanren,” Emperor Duanren insisted.

Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian continued to sweat from their foreheads.

“This!” Huang Xiaolong looked at Zhao Shu, feeling overwhelmed by the rapid changes.

He couldn’t grasp how Zhao Shu was not only an old acquaintance of Emperor Duanren but also treated with such respect by him!

Originally, it was Emperor Duanren who had summoned Huang Xiaolong, but now it seemed everything was reversed?
