Invincible Over the World
Chapter 542 - 542 540 The Struggle for Number 1

542: Chapter 540: The Struggle for Number 1 542: Chapter 540: The Struggle for Number 1 As the family disciples looked at the leaderboard on the Stone Mirror, their faces were blank with astonishment.

They had just been discussing how Huang Xiaolong could at most rank seventh, sixth, or fifth, but in less than a day, Huang Xiaolong had swiftly claimed fourth place with a terrifying speed.

In Mulan Star, Gudu Leng, clad in a Black Brocade Robe, stopped in the air above an icy plain.

“Hmm?!” As his consciousness sank into the token, he couldn’t help but feel surprised because he found that Xu Shaoqing, who had always been fourth, suddenly fell to fifth, and the fourth place was now Huang Xiaolong!

Huang Xiaolong?!

His mind flashed, and he finally remembered—that was the guy who kicked Zhu Hai Xiang out of the tenth place.

At the time, he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

Likewise, he hadn’t been following the changes on the leaderboard, focusing only on constantly killing demon beasts, monsters, and ghosts.

It never occurred to him that in two days, this Huang Xiaolong had actually climbed to fourth?!

“Quite interesting,” mused Gudu Leng after his surprise.

Of course, it was just mildly interesting.

He still didn’t take Huang Xiaolong seriously.

Meanwhile, in Mulan Star, Wang Biaoyuan, wearing a blue martial outfit, looked at the changes on the leaderboard with a somewhat somber expression.

Xu Shaoqing was his fiancée, yet she had been kicked to fifth by this youngster named Huang Xiaolong!

And this Huang Xiaolong, he gave him a sense of crisis.

He currently had a score of nine billion, six hundred and thirty-something million.

Huang Xiaolong was at eight billion, nine hundred and twenty-something million.

Although there was a difference of seventy million, given Huang Xiaolong’s rate of improvement, overtaking him was only a matter of time.

Jiang Shaoze also noticed the changes in the leaderboard, and his face was equally somber.

He simply couldn’t believe that Huang Xiaolong could rank fourth.

He had been present during Huang Xiaolong’s talent test and had seen everything clearly.

As everyone struggled to accept this reality, the fourth day of the competition ended.

On the fourth day, Huang Xiaolong’s points soared all the way, firmly holding fourth place.

However, on the fifth day, Huang Xiaolong’s points didn’t skyrocket as everyone had imagined they would; instead, they rose steadily, maintaining a consistent seventy-thousand-point gap with Wang Biaoyuan.

This gave Wang Biaoyuan, Jiang Shaoze, and others a sigh of relief.

On the sixth day, Huang Xiaolong’s points also rose steadily.

Seeing this, Wang Biaoyuan and Jiang Shaosheng finally felt at ease.

It seemed that Huang Xiaolong’s previous surge in points was already his limit.

At the end of the sixth day, Gudu Leng glanced at the leaderboard and shook his head, “Still fourth?

I thought this competition wouldn’t be so monotonous, but it seems I was disappointed.”

On Hero Square, the disciples of the Wang and Jiang families also breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Just when everyone thought Huang Xiaolong couldn’t climb any higher, suddenly, a family disciple on Hero Square widened his eyes in shock and stared at the leaderboard on the Stone Mirror: “Huang Xiaolong, he, he!”

Everyone felt puzzled and couldn’t help but turn their gaze to the fourth position.

They saw Huang Xiaolong’s points, which had been steadily increasing for two days, now soaring at an unprecedented speed, drawing closer to Wang Biaoyuan in almost a single breath.

“What?!”

Everyone was startled.

Even Li Zhiqun and Su Haodong, who had been watching the changes on the leaderboard from the depths of the void, were shocked.

Wang Biaoyuan in Mulan Star was similarly startled, but no matter how furiously he killed, he was still unable to widen the gap with Huang Xiaolong.

Fifty million!

Forty million!

“Ten million now, only ten million difference now!” exclaimed the disciples at Hero Square.

After ten million came nine million, eight million, one million!

Hum!

Suddenly, the entire leaderboard emitted a brilliant radiance, and the Stone Mirror rippled.

When the top three names on the leaderboard changed, the entire board would emit such dazzling light.

As the light gradually softened, everyone saw that the original third-ranked Wang Biaoyuan had fallen to fourth.

In the third position, Huang Xiaolong!

The three words “Huang Xiaolong” seemed particularly glaring in the eyes of the Wang Family Disciples!

And Huang Xiaolong surpassing Wang Biaoyuan by seventy million points, if you calculate it, only took a mere two hours.

While everyone was shocked by Huang Xiaolong rising into the top three, his score continued to soar at an unprecedented rate, closing in on Jiang Shaoze.

As everyone snapped back to attention, watching Huang Xiaolong steadily close the gap with Jiang Shaoze, they all tensed up, as if their hearts were lifted to their throats.

Before long, unsurprisingly, the leaderboard flared with brilliance once more, the glow even more intense than before.

When the leaderboard stabilized, everyone saw that the formerly second-placed Jiang Shaoze had dropped to third.

Second, Huang Xiaolong!

The square was dead silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

No one had anticipated such an outcome.

A Family Disciple by the unheralded name of Huang Xiaolong had actually climbed to second place!

Seven days earlier, many people in the square had never even heard the name Huang Xiaolong.

At this time, more and more experts began to appear around the square.

The news of Huang Xiaolong suddenly rising to second had spread, alarming the strong from every corner of Xuanwu City.

After Huang Xiaolong climbed to second place, his score continued to rocket at an extremely terrifying speed, slowly narrowing the gap with Gudu Leng.

“This, this…

Huang Xiaolong couldn’t possibly be aiming for first place, could he?!” Everyone took notice of this situation, and one Family Disciple exclaimed.

First place?!

Everyone’s hearts twitched.

Gudu Leng, with a Talent Test Power Value of over three thousand, was the only one to exceed three thousand in a million years, even causing the Xuanwu Academy Master to take notice.

If Huang Xiaolong were to take first place?!

The thought alone brought a rich array of expressions to everyone’s faces, as it implied that Huang Xiaolong’s talent could be even higher than Gudu Leng’s?

As Huang Xiaolong’s score surged to second place, Gudu Leng also took notice.

He watched at Huang Xiaolong’s score increasing at a rapid pace, and rather than being alarmed, he was thrilled.

“This makes it interesting.” He leaped into the air, his eyes flashing with black light, and two black vortices expanded within.

Black ripples burst forth, the space around them undulating, and within hundreds of miles, all demon beasts halted, their bodies suddenly disintegrating into black particles, scattering in the air.

Outside the square, the crowd watched as Gudu Leng’s score too began to climb at a horrifying rate.

Sometimes, Gudu Leng’s score would suddenly surge by fifty or sixty thousand, while Huang Xiaolong’s would increase by thirty or forty thousand, and at other times, Huang Xiaolong’s would leap by over a hundred thousand, with Gudu Leng’s following closely with sixty or seventy thousand.

The onlookers fixed their gaze on the continually changing scores of the two, feeling dazzled.

One hour, two hours, three hours, as one day went by, their scores still climbed at a terrifying rate, chasing and competing with each other, the score changes growing more frequent as they progressed.

The crowd watched with bated breath.

The eighth day passed.

The Ninth day arrived.

Though Gudu Leng’s score was soaring horrifically, the crowd realized that the gap between Huang Xiaolong and him was narrowing.

Initially, when Huang Xiaolong rose to second place, he was more than three hundred million points behind Gudu Leng, but by the Ninth day, the gap had shrunk to just over thirty million.

On Mulan Star, Huang Xiaolong’s figure flashed, and his hands, like blades, sliced instantly across the throat of a Middle Divine Domain demon beast.

This was the five hundred sixty-third Divine Domain Demon Beast he had slain.
