Invincible Over the World
Chapter 538 - 538 578 The Third Day of Competition

538: Chapter 578: The Third Day of Competition 538: Chapter 578: The Third Day of Competition The third day of the competition.

Above Hero Square, the crowd was intently staring at the ranking list displayed on the Stone Mirror, struggling to accept what they saw.

Huang Xiaolong had not only squeezed into the top ten but now firmly held the ninth place!

Originally ranked at ninth, Su Meiying had now fallen to tenth, and Huang Xiaolong had pulled ahead by over twenty million points.

By noon of the third day, Huang Xiaolong was only a few million points behind the eighth place, Yang Shiqi.

It seemed only a matter of time before he surpassed her.

Above the square, the scoffing at Huang Xiaolong from the previous day had completely disappeared.

“Which minor realm or small family does this Huang Xiaolong belong to?

His strength, his talent, they are terrifying!”

“What do you think—by the end, what rank can Huang Xiaolong achieve?”

With scoffing gone, only awe remained.

Due to Huang Xiaolong’s sudden rise into the top ten and stable possession of ninth place, except for Gudu Leng, Huang Xiaolong was now the most watched competitor.

Everyone was guessing just how high Huang Xiaolong could rank by the end.

Now, it was clear to everyone that Huang Xiaolong had definitely held back during the Talent Test.

As for how much he held back, no one knew.

“I think Huang Xiaolong can finally make it to the fifth place!”

“Fifth place?

Impossible, I think he can only reach seventh at most.”

The crowd was abuzz with discussion.

Deep in the void, Li Zhiqun and Su Haodong watched as Huang Xiaolong’s points steadily closed in on Yang Shiqi, the eighth place, their hearts somewhat unable to accept this.

Li Zhiqun shook his head and smiled wryly, “I didn’t expect this Huang Xiaolong to be such a surprise, actually having the strength to contend for the eighth spot.”

Su Haodong pondered and said, “Huang Xiaolong, in the end, could probably make it to the fourth place.”

“The first, Gudu Leng, the second, Jiang Shaoze, the third, Wang Biaoyuan—no matter how talented or strong Huang Xiaolong is, the top three places would certainly be Gudu Leng, Jiang Shaoze, and Wang Biaoyuan.”

Li Zhiqun nodded, also feeling that Huang Xiaolong couldn’t possibly squeeze into the top three.

He sighed, “It’s a pity.

If it were any other edition, Huang Xiaolong could have made the top three, but this edition brought forth a Gudu Leng.”

Within Mulan Star, Huang Xiaolong withdrew the Shura Blade and faced the approaching group of wolf-shaped demon beasts, clapping his hands suddenly.

“Dragon God Fifteen Forms!”

The surging Dragon Energy transformed into water, fire, wind, wood, metal, Buddha, black, white, Toa, bone, hell, devil, truth, sky, and ice—fifteen Dragon Gods.

The Dragon Roar shook the heavens, and the colors of the wind and clouds changed.

Where the fifteen Dragon Gods passed, all wolf-shaped demon beasts burst open.

A series of Demon Cores appeared mid-air.

Then, the Dragon Ball shone brilliantly, and Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing the Demon Cores continuously into his body.

Pure Demon Essence constantly seeped from the surface of the Dragon Ball and was ceaselessly absorbed and refined by Huang Xiaolong.

Now, as Huang Xiaolong’s Primordial Dragon Body grew increasingly formidable, he could refine hundreds of Demon Pills from the Holy Domain Tenth Stage, Half-step Divine Realm, and Half-step Divine Realm Peak in just a breath.

Thus, there was no need for deliberate secluded cultivation to refine them.

After striking and killing, Huang Xiaolong directly refined through the Dragon Ball.

In the more than two days since entering Mulan Star, Huang Xiaolong’s strength had improved somewhat.

When Huang Xiaolong was at the Peak of Holy Domain Tenth Stage Middle Stage, he could contend with Divine Hall Master Ying Tian.

Now, his strength was a thousand times greater than before.

He could resolve some First Stage Early Stage Divine Domain demon beasts in one move.

Dealing with some Divine Domain First Stage Middle Stage beasts was more troublesome, but at most, it took three moves.

In just over two days, a total of 163 First Stage Divine Domain demon beasts had died at Huang Xiaolong’s hands, among them, eight were from the Divine Domain First Stage Middle Stage.

However, Huang Xiaolong had not yet encountered any Divine Domain First-stage Late Stage ones.

Just after Huang Xiaolong had dealt with a Divine Domain First Stage Middle Stage demon beast, suddenly, the top ten rankings flashed again.

Eighth, Huang Xiaolong, six hundred and eighty-five million, three hundred and fifty-nine thousand!

The originally eighth-ranked Yang Shiqi then fell to ninth.

“Eighth place,” Huang Xiaolong muttered to himself.

The current seventh, He Xiu, had just exceeded seven hundred million, only ten million more than Huang Xiaolong.

Ten million was easy for Huang Xiaolong to catch up.

Huang Xiaolong thought for a moment, then took out more than one hundred sixty Divine Domain Demon Cores from the Asura Ring.

These cores, colorful and floating around Huang Xiaolong’s body, released a soft glow.

Huang Xiaolong tried to control the cores with his mind to keep spinning, and as the cores spun, they formed a terrifying hurricane.

The hurricane expanded continuously; all nearby demon beasts were suck into it.

Those caught in the hurricane were instantly penetrated by the Divine Domain Demon Cores and killed one by one.

Huang Xiaolong flew forward.

The Demon Cores continued to orbit around his body, the hurricane kept expanding, devouring all demon beasts in its path.

“What is that?!” In the sky above a mountain range, several Family Disciples stared dumbfounded at the massive hurricane flying their way, and their faces drastically changed when they saw countless demon beasts, even some at the Peak of Half-step Divine Realm, being devoured by the hurricane.

After their initial shock, these Family Disciples were so frightened that they quickly fell from the sky, hiding in a cave below.

Right after they hid in the cave, they saw the terrifying hurricane roll over the peak above, shaking the ground and the mountains, almost like the end of the world.

It was a long time before the hurricane passed and they flew out of the cave, faces pale as they looked at the surroundings cleared of any demon beasts.

“It’s terrifying, how could there be such a fearsome person in this competition?!” one Disciple murmured, still terrified from recalling the scene.

They could only vaguely see a human figure in the center of the hurricane.

“Who could it be?

Gudu Leng?

Jiang Shaoze, or Wang Biaoyuan?” these Family Disciples wondered.

“Jiang Shaoze, Wang Biaoyuan probably don’t have such strength; it must be Gudu Leng!” one of them reasoned aloud.

As everyone’s attention was on the top ten rankings, the night gradually darkened.

By sunset, Huang Xiaolong had moved up to seventh place, and the originally seventh-ranked He Xiu fell to eighth.

Yang Shiqi, Su Meiying still remained ninth and tenth respectively, while Zhu Hai Xiang, previously pushed out of tenth by Huang Xiaolong, remained in eleventh.

Huang Xiaolong looked at the night sky, landing on a mountain peak, exhaled a breath of stale air, and relaxed his muscles.

These past three days, other than slaying demon beasts, were spent refining Demon Cores, a bit monotonous.

Huang Xiaolong decided to take a good rest.

Now, he had outpaced He Xiu by over twenty million, and it would take some time for him to catch up.

Huang Xiaolong set up a bonfire on the mountain peak and started roasting the meat of a tiger-shaped demon beast over it.

Huang Xiaolong took out a bottle of Aftertaste Wine from the Broken Blade Empire and took a sip; it was very fragrant.

Having left the Martial Soul World for over two years, Huang Xiaolong truly missed those days.

Before long, the aroma of the roasting meat wafted from the bonfire.

This tiger-shaped demon beast was of the Divine Domain First Stage Middle Stage.

Its meat was many times more delicious than the previous Pig Luo Beast meat.

Huang Xiaolong tore off a piece, and with a bite, it was fragrant, smooth, tender, and utterly delightful in texture.

If the strong beings in Hero Square knew that Huang Xiaolong was leisurely drinking and barbecuing meat within the Mulan Star, who knows how they would react.

“It smells good, what’s that?

Barbecued meat?

Wine?” Just then, a surprised voice sounded, followed by a group of over two hundred Family Disciples flying towards Huang Xiaolong.

“Haha, am I seeing this right?

Someone is actually barbecuing and drinking?” As the group of Family Disciples drew near, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “I don’t know which family the Disciple belongs to, but if his seniors knew, they would probably be furious!” (To be continued.
