Invincible Over the World
Chapter 559 - 559 556 Challenging Huang Xiaolong

559: Chapter 556: Challenging Huang Xiaolong 559: Chapter 556: Challenging Huang Xiaolong Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Huang Xiaolong’s eyebrows furrowed, but soon relaxed, his face calm.

“Wang Biaoyuan is here!” Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed.

“Wang Biaoyuan, I heard he has already broken through to the Divine Domain Second Stage!

And not just the early stage, but has reached the Divine Domain Second Stage Middle Stage!”

Under everyone’s gaze, several figures approached rapidly from the sky, and leading them was Wang Biaoyuan.

Compared to three years ago, the arrogance about Wang Biaoyuan seemed even stronger, with an Ancient Sword still hanging at his waist.

Wang Biaoyuan floated down, sweeping his gaze around, and quickly spotted Huang Xiaolong beside the Hidden Dragon Platform.

His eyes turned cold in an instant as he walked toward Huang Xiaolong.

“Huang Xiaolong, on the Hidden Dragon Platform later, I will not hold back!” Wang Biaoyuan arrived in front of Huang Xiaolong and said coldly, “The humiliation you inflicted on me three years ago, I will return it a hundredfold.

I will crush you mercilessly!”

Huang Xiaolong’s expression remained indifferent.

“Is that so?

I will be waiting.”

Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s indifferent expression, Wang Biaoyuan’s heart uncontrollably filled with rage.

Did this young man not hear of his current strength?

He refused to believe that Huang Xiaolong could have broken through to the Divine Domain in three years.

Suppressing the rage in his heart, Wang Biaoyuan snorted coldly, “Kid, you just wait.

I want to see how long you can remain arrogant.” After speaking, he turned and left.

It wasn’t long before Gudu Leng appeared, and his arrival stirred the crowd once again.

However, when Gudu Leng arrived and saw Huang Xiaolong, he didn’t say much, but the intense fighting spirit in his eyes was felt by everyone.

Following Gudu Leng, Jiang Shaoze arrived shortly after.

This Outer Disciple assessment was also highly discussed about Jiang Shaoze, who was considered one of the top five contenders.

Although Jiang Shaoze, like Gudu Leng and Wang Biaoyuan, had not broken through to the Divine Domain Second Stage, he had reached the Divine Domain First Stage Late Stage Peak, merely a half-step away from Second Stage.

After Jiang Shaoze, Xu Shaoqing and others arrived one after another.

An hour later, just as the time for the assessment approached, Elder Zhang Tianchuan finally appeared, still in charge of this Outer Disciple assessment.

Upon arriving, Zhang Tianchuan landed on the platform above the main seat, surveyed the disciples below, and then briefly explained the rules and rewards of this assessment.

The Xuanwu Academy had over a hundred thousand Outer Disciples, so not every Outer Disciple participated in each assessment.

In each assessment, the Academy Elders picked a hundred of the strongest Outer Disciples to participate.

Only the selected hundred Outer Disciples could take part.

Of course, if others felt aggrieved, other Outer Disciples could also choose to challenge any of the selected hundred.

If they defeated one, they could replace them and earn the right to participate in the assessment.

“Gudu Leng, Wang Biaoyuan, Jiang Shaoze, Huang Xiaolong….” Zhang Tianchuan read out the list of the hundred disciples selected this time.

Whether intentional or not by the higher-ups of the Xuanwu Academy, the announced list ranked Gudu Leng first, Wang Biaoyuan second, Jiang Shaoze third, and Huang Xiaolong fourth!

As for the fifth, it was an Outer Disciple named Luo Kai.

This Luo Kai had won first place in the last three newcomer assessments.

Soon, Zhang Tianchuan finished reading the list of a hundred Outer Disciples selected this time.

“Are there any disciples who wish to challenge?” Zhang Tianchuan finished reading and looked around, “The registration for challenges starts now.” If no one challenged, then these hundred would be the top hundred in this Outer Disciple assessment.

As soon as Zhang Tianchuan’s voice fell, disciples quickly stepped forward to nominate their challenges.

“Liu Shicheng challenges Meng Ping.” A tall young man landed on the Hidden Dragon Platform and spoke out.

Following that, a thin figure floated down onto the Hidden Dragon Platform, it was Meng Ping, one of the hundred selected disciples.

After both parties had exchanged formalities, they began to cross hands.

However, it wasn’t long before the challenging disciple, Liu Shicheng, was defeated and fell off the Hidden Dragon Platform in disarray.

Following that, numerous other disciples continued to issue challenges.

Some were successful, but the majority failed.

Over an hour later, seeing that no one else stepped forward to challenge, Zhang Tianchuan said, “Now, I will announce the list of the top ten Outer Disciples selected through this assessment.”

“Gudu Leng, Wang Biaoyuan, Jiang Shaoze, Huang Xiaolong, Luo Kai, Long Junfei, Su Guo, Xu Shaoqing, Wu Xiaoshi, Yang Yue.”

As Zhang Tianchuan spoke, he paused for a moment, then asked, “Among the hundred disciples, is there anyone else who wishes to come forward and challenge?”

If no one else came forward to challenge, then these ten individuals would be this session’s top ten Outer Disciples.

Of course, not just anyone could challenge these ten—only those who had just made it into the top hundred were eligible to challenge them and vie for a spot in the top ten.

As Zhang Tianchuan’s voice faded, the scene fell silent.

“I, Xie Ning, challenge Huang Xiaolong.” Just then, suddenly, a figure rose swiftly and landed on the Hidden Dragon Platform—a tall and thin middle-aged man, pale and beardless, with slightly small eyes.

After a moment of surprise, the crowd burst into uproar.

Someone was actually challenging Huang Xiaolong!

And it was Xie Ning, the top scorer of the previous two orientations for new students!

Xie Ning was originally a hot candidate for the top ten, yet for some reason, he wasn’t on the list, which explained his challenge.

The crowd was taken aback, and then excited.

Huang Xiaolong, the top scorer from three years ago, possessed an otherworldly talent—a talent considered the greatest in the Xuanwu Star River for millions of years.

Coupled with his status as a disciple of the Xuanwu Mansion Master, Huang Xiaolong had been the subject of intense discussion amongst all sectors of the Xuanwu Star River for the past three years.

During these three years, Huang Xiaolong kept a very low profile, spending his time in seclusion at the Xuanwu Mansion Master Palace, and nobody knew the true extent of his power.

Although the vast majority believed that Huang Xiaolong could at most reach the Peak of the Half-step Divine Realm, a very small number thought that, given his monstrous talent, he might have broken through to the Divine Realm.

The crowd buzzed with discussions.

All eyes turned to Huang Xiaolong.

Even Zhang Tianchuan couldn’t help but look at Huang Xiaolong, curious about his true strength after three years.

Wang Biaoyuan, Gudu Leng, Jiang Shaoze, and the others also fixed their gazes on Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong seemed not to notice their stares.

With a calm expression and no evident action, everyone merely saw a blur, and Huang Xiaolong was already standing before his challenger, Xie Ning.

Wang Biaoyuan, Gudu Leng, Jiang Shaoze, and the others’ eyes narrowed.

So fast!

That was the first thought in everyone’s mind.

Even Zhang Tianchuan’s eyes lit up, surprised at the speed of Huang Xiaolong’s movements.

The challenging disciple, Xie Ning, also got a shock seeing Huang Xiaolong suddenly appearing before him, but then he calmed down, his eyes burning bright as he looked at Huang Xiaolong, took a deep breath, and said, “Huang Xiaolong, please!” With that, he released his full momentum.

Whirlwinds spun around as the skies above the Hidden Dragon Platform changed dramatically.

Xie Ning, being the top scorer in the past two orientations, naturally possessed tremendous strength, highly regarded by many Outer Disciples as the foremost beneath the Divine Realm Second Stage.
