Invincible Over the World
Chapter 558 - 558 555 It Would Be Great to Get Into the Top 5

558: Chapter 555: It Would Be Great to Get Into the Top 5 558: Chapter 555: It Would Be Great to Get Into the Top 5 Liu Yun looked at Huang Xiaolong’s confident demeanor and said after a moment of thought, “Wang Biaoyuan has broken through to the Middle Stage of the Divine Domain Second Rank.

His Undying Vajra Body is now more than ten times stronger than it was three years ago.

With his current strength, even an ordinary early Third Rank Divine Domain expert is no match for him.

I’ve heard that these days, quite a few early Third Rank Divine Domain experts have been defeated by him.”

As Huang Xiaolong was concealing his aura, even Liu Yun could not discern Huang Xiaolong’s true cultivation level.

Therefore, despite knowing that Huang Xiaolong had astonishing talent, he wasn’t confident about Huang Xiaolong defeating Wang Biaoyuan tomorrow.

It wasn’t just him; no one among all the disciples at Xuanwu Academy believed that Huang Xiaolong could take first place this time.

Now, ninety-nine percent of the disciples at Xuanwu Academy were discussing this matter, thinking that this time’s Outer Disciple Assessment would be between Gudu Leng and Wang Biaoyuan.

Liu Yun continued, “Moreover, Gudu Leng hasn’t just broken through to the Divine Domain Second Rank, but I’ve heard that he has cultivated the Gudu Family’s supreme secret, the Solitary Deity Technique, to the hundredth level, the Rebirth Realm, and has obtained the Power of Rebirth!

His current strength is probably even more terrifying than that of Wang Biaoyuan.”

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

He had also learned about the power of the Gudu Family’s Solitary Deity Technique from Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi during these days.

However, even knowing that Gudu Leng had cultivated the Solitary Deity Technique to the hundredth level, Huang Xiaolong didn’t take it to heart.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s expression, Liu Yun knew that Huang Xiaolong wasn’t taking Gudu Leng and Wang Biaoyuan seriously, and he shook his head silently but said no more.

Then, Liu Yun discussed some cultivation issues with Huang Xiaolong.

More than two hours later, Liu Yun finally left.

After Liu Yun left, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi laughed and said, “Youngster Huang, it seems no one believes you’ll take first place tomorrow.

Even your senior brother thinks you can’t match up to Gudu Leng or Wang Biaoyuan tomorrow.

You’ll need to put on quite a performance.”

Huang Xiaolong laughed, “Three years ago, I was only at the Half-step Divine Realm.

It’s no wonder others don’t believe I can still take first place this time.”

The night was calm.

Within a palace in the Xuanwu Realm, Wang Biaoyuan’s figure flickered unpredictably in mid-air, looking from a distance like dozens of butterflies fluttering.

A moment later, Wang Biaoyuan floated down to the ground.

“Congratulations, Young Master, for cultivating the Flower Butterfly Dream Body Technique to the Ninth Level.” A fellow Wang Family Disciple from the Xuanwu Academy’s Outer Sect approached with a smile, “In tomorrow’s Outer Disciple Assessment, Young Master will surely take first place!”

Wang Biaoyuan nodded in satisfaction, confidence radiating from him as he clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a cold light, “Huang Xiaolong, just wait, the humiliation from three years ago, I will return it a hundredfold to you tomorrow.

During the assessment, I will make you kneel before me in front of everyone!”

Sensing Wang Biaoyuan’s terrifying aura, that Wang Family Disciple’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t help but step back.

“How did the investigation I asked you to conduct turn out?” Wang Biaoyuan’s aura receded after a while, and he asked.

The Wang Family Disciple hurried forward, respectfully saying, “These three years, Huang Xiaolong has been in seclusion in the Pavilion Master Palace and has not come out, so it’s impossible to determine his strength.

However, based on my judgment, even with Huang Xiaolong’s heaven-defying talent and intense cultivation, he should only be at the Peak of the Half-step Divine Realm by now.”

Wang Biaoyuan nodded.

“I think, Young Master, that defeating Huang Xiaolong tomorrow will be extremely easy.

However, your real competitor this time is Gudu Leng,” the Wang Family Disciple continued, “I’ve learned that Gudu Leng has not only broken through to the Divine Domain Second Rank, but has also cultivated the Solitary Deity Technique to the hundredth level.”

Wang Biaoyuan said, “I didn’t expect Gudu Leng to have cultivated the Solitary Deity Technique to the hundredth level.

However, even so, what does it matter?

Tomorrow, I am equally confident that I can defeat him.”

Meanwhile, other talented Outer Disciples were also eagerly training, looking forward to placing in the top ten, top three, or even taking first place in tomorrow’s Outer Disciple Assessment.

Among previous batches of Outer Disciples, there were many who had cultivated for hundreds of years without being promoted to Inner Sect Disciples, yet their strength could rival that of Inner Sect Disciples.

The strength of these past genius prodigies was also extremely astonishing.

The night slowly passed.

As the sun ascended into the sky and dawn began to break, the Xuanwu Academy buzzed to life.

Although today was the assessment day for the Outer Disciple of Xuanwu Academy, the presence of Huang Xiaolong, Gudu Leng, and Wang Biaoyuan, among others, had caused this Outer Disciple assessment to attract the attention of many Inner Sect Disciples, elite disciples, and even the Academy Elders and Supreme Elders.

Inside the palace, Huang Xiaolong, who had been meditating cross-legged, opened his eyes upon seeing the sunlight filtering through the courtyard walls, stood up, and walked out.

However, as soon as Huang Xiaolong left the courtyard to reach the Great Hall, he saw his master, Xuanwu Mansion Master Feng Yang, already seated there.

Huang Xiaolong was startled, knowing his master was specifically waiting for him, and stepped forward to salute respectfully, “Master.”

Xuanwu Mansion Master Feng Yang nodded with a smile, his eyes almost tangible as he glanced at Huang Xiaolong and said, “I’ve heard about the situations of Gudu Leng and Wang Biaoyuan.

In today’s Outer Disciple assessment, if you encounter both of them, there’s no need to force yourself, third place will suffice.”

Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He had not expected his master to have waited for him just to discuss this matter.

It seemed even his master had no confidence in him taking the first place this time.

Third place?

So that was the highest expectation his master had for his ranking in this assessment?

“Yes, Master,” Huang Xiaolong replied.

Xuanwu Mansion Master Feng Yang nodded, “Go then, and be careful.”

Huang Xiaolong acknowledged, then performed a salute and left the palace heading towards the assessment venue.

This time, the assessment venue for the Outer Disciple was not set at the Supreme Harmony Palace, but at the Hidden Dragon Platform.

The Hidden Dragon Platform was not far from the Supreme Harmony Palace, positioned on a mountain peak thousands of miles away.

Before long, Huang Xiaolong had reached the mountain peak where the Hidden Dragon Platform was located.

The peak hosting the Hidden Dragon Platform had been sliced in half midway up the mountain by the formidable force of an Xuanwu Academy expert.

The Hidden Dragon Platform was set right at the center of the flattened mountaintop, entirely crafted from extremely hard refined stone, vast and half a meter raised from the ground, accommodating tens of thousands of people.

Surrounding the Hidden Dragon Platform was space to accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators.

“It’s Huang Xiaolong!”

Huang Xiaolong’s arrival stirred up a commotion.

The disciples who had already arrived all turned to look at Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong paid no attention to their stares, lightly leaping to land beside the Hidden Dragon Platform.

“I wonder what level of strength Huang Xiaolong has achieved after three years.”

“At most, he’s at the peak of the Half-step Divine Realm.

Unless he’s had some heaven-defying encounter, it’s impossible for him to have broken through to the Divine Realm.”

“If that’s the case, Huang Xiaolong could probably only manage the top three this time!”

“Top three?

I think, making it into the top five would be pretty good already.”

The disciples whispered amongst themselves.
