Invincible Over the World
Chapter 533 - 533 533 The Day of the Examination Arrives

533: Chapter 533: The Day of the Examination Arrives 533: Chapter 533: The Day of the Examination Arrives After purchasing the Half-step Divine Realm Peak Demon Pill, Huang Xiaolong rented a small courtyard in a tavern in Xuanwu City and began to close up for cultivation.

With over nine months left before the assessment started, Huang Xiaolong would refine ten Demon Cores each day and spend the rest time practicing Combat Skills, Ancient Puppet Technique, and Soul Skills.

Occasionally, he would go out for a leisurely stroll and have a drink.

Life was tense but comfortable.

Of course, the expenses were not low.

The small courtyard rented by Huang Xiaolong cost over a thousand Xuanwu Coins per day, and a good bottle of wine could cost several thousand Xuanwu Coins.

Originally, Huang Xiaolong had wanted to buy a mansion directly in Xuanwu City, but he was startled by the prices; even the smallest was three to four hundred million!

Moreover, only elite disciples of the Xuanwu Academy were eligible to purchase them.

Others, even if they had ten billion, simply could not buy a courtyard house in Xuanwu City.

“Not to mention Xuanwu City, even the courtyards in some smaller towns on the Cloud Sea Continent cost at least a hundred million,” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said.

“The Cloud Sea Continent is the trading center of the entire Xuanwu Star River, where the land is worth its weight in gold, and every piece of land is priced exceedingly high.

Only the large families and disciples or elders of superpowers can afford them.”

Huang Xiaolong heaved a sigh.

Wherever one went, there were disparities between the rich and the poor.

“When you break through to the Divine Domain and become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Xuanwu Academy, you will have the status to buy a mansion in some smaller towns on the Cloud Sea Continent,” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said.

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Not just anyone could buy a mansion in the smaller towns of the Cloud Sea Continent; it was a matter of status.

If Huang Xiaolong became an Inner Sect Disciple of the Xuanwu Academy, he would have no issue with that.

By then, Huang Xiaolong could bring the Huang Family members over to the Cloud Sea Continent.

The Cloud Sea Continent was absolutely safe.

No one dared to fight or kill on the Cloud Sea Continent.

Otherwise, they would become the enemy of the entire Star River.

Even core disciples of superpowers wouldn’t dare cause trouble in the cities of the Cloud Sea Continent.

Time passed.

Soon, two months had gone by.

After refining six hundred Demon Cores, Huang Xiaolong finally broke through to the Half-step Divine Domain, becoming a Half-step Divine Domain powerhouse.

Huang Xiaolong’s strength once again underwent a drastic change.

If his true Power Value was three thousand during the test, then now, Huang Xiaolong should have four thousand.

While it was an increase of just a thousand, the actual strength was definitely more than just a twofold enhancement.

One day, Huang Xiaolong stopped cultivating, opened his eyes, and exhaled a breath of turbid air, “Asura Technique has already reached the Late Stage of the Ninth Level.

At this rate, after breaking through to the Divine Domain, I should be able to reach the Tenth Level!”

The legendary Tenth Level!

Huang Xiaolong was filled with anticipation.

The Tenth Level, something that even his master, Ren Wokuang, had not attained.

Once he reached the Tenth Level, Huang Xiaolong would be able to open the Gate of Hell and freely enter and leave Hell, an High-level Plane on the same level as the Divine World.

By then, with the cultivation in Hell, Huang Xiaolong would possess superior resources unthinkable for other geniuses of the Xuanwu Academy.

Even after breaking through to the Half-step Divine Domain, Huang Xiaolong didn’t leave Xuanwu City but continued to refine the remaining Demon Cores.

Another month went by, and Huang Xiaolong had refined all the remaining three hundred-plus Demon Cores, not only completely stabilizing his Half-step Divine Domain strength but also making another considerable improvement.

However, he was still far from breaking through to the Half-step Divine Realm Peak.

“At this rate, to break through to a Half-step Divine Realm Peak, I’m afraid I need to refine more than a thousand Divine Realm Demon Pills.” Huang Xiaolong thought gloomily.

More than a thousand Divine Realm Demon Pills!

Where can I find them!

Even if some auctions sell them, at most, there would only be about a dozen at a time, and even the most ordinary Divine Domain First Stage Demon Pill would cost four to five hundred thousand.

For over a thousand pills, even if Huang Xiaolong sold all his other five Divine-grade Spiritual Stones, he still wouldn’t have enough money.

“Actually, you don’t need to worry too much right now,” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said.

“With your current strength, you will definitely be able to take first place in this assessment.

Besides, during the assessment, Xuanwu Academy will send you to Mulan Star to kill demon beasts, demons, and monsters.

This way, they eliminate the top hundred candidates.

On Mulan Star, there are many Divine Domain Demon Beasts and Demons!”

“Many Divine Domain Demon Beasts and Demons!” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up with brilliance.

Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi smiled and said, “That’s right.

Moreover, these Divine Domain Demon Beasts and Demons are generally not strong, all of them are at the Early Stage and Middle Stage of the Divine Domain First Stage; there are none at the Late Stage, which suits you for hunting.”

“So, there should be more than a thousand Divine Domain First Stage Demon Beasts and Demons on Mulan Star, right?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi was speechless.

“Do you think Divine Domain Demon Beasts and Demons are that easy to find?

The demon beasts, demons, and monsters on Mulan Star are bred by Xuanwu Academy over tens of millions of years.

Although there are quite a few Divine Domain Demon Beasts, at most there are several hundred.

The higher-level ones from Divine Domain First Stage Late Stage and Second Stage have been captured by the experts of Xuanwu Academy.”

Captured?

Huang Xiaolong quickly understood the intention of Xuanwu Academy.

For the new student assessment, the strongest are only about the same as a Divine Domain First Stage Early Stage or Middle Stage demon beast.

If there were any above Divine Domain Second Stage involved, the disciples who entered for the assessment wouldn’t need to be assessed at all; they’d likely all be wiped out.

“However, there is still the half-year until the day of the assessment,” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi said.

“During this half-year, continue to refine the Half-step Divine Realm Peak Demon Pills and try to increase your strength as much as possible.

This way, it will be much easier to kill those Divine Domain First Stage Middle Stage demon beasts.”

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Consequently, Huang Xiaolong spent the next thirty-seven million to buy over seven hundred Half-step Divine Realm Peak Demon Pills, continued to refine them, continued to stroll around, and continued to drink.

Six months quickly passed.

Inside the Sumeru Divine Hall, Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged next to the Ten Buddha Formation, and as he breathed in and out, Dragon Energy swirled around his body, transforming into Primordial Dragons.

These days, Huang Xiaolong’s Treasure Dragon Body Protection Technique had reached a small success, and the Array Map formed by the Primordial Dragon Energy in his body had fully merged with his Primordial Dragon Body.

And the Array Map slowly transformed, gaining mountains, water, trees, grass, and beasts.

Of course, all of these were transformations of the Primordial Dragon Energy.

A few hours later, Huang Xiaolong stopped his cultivation and came out from the Sumeru Divine Hall, and it was already deep into the night.

The night sky was a deep blue.

“Tomorrow is the day of the assessment,” Huang Xiaolong said, looking up at the night sky.

Xuanwu Academy seemed to place great importance on this new student assessment, not only increasing the reward for first place but also doubling the rewards for second to tenth place.

During the registration talent test, there were surprisingly twenty-five students who had a Power Value of over two thousand!

In the past, there were generally twelve or thirteen people, but this time it was double that.

The test saw the highest Power Value reaching over three thousand one hundred, belonging to a young man named Gudu Leng, who was also the only one to reach three thousand this time.

When the results came out, it caused a tremendous shock in all directions.

Because, over the tens of millions of years of new student assessments, there has never been a talented disciple who scored over three thousand in the talent test before.

It was said that even the Master of Xuanwu Academy was alerted.

“Is this the reason why Xuanwu Academy increased the reward for first place?” Huang Xiaolong’s lips curled into a smile.

Tomorrow, he would be able to meet this guy Gudu Leng.

Having a somewhat impressive opponent, now that was a bit interesting.
