561: Chapter 558: You Want Me to Strike First?

Ultimately, no one dared step forward to challenge Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong’s name among the top ten was solidified.

However, although no one dared challenge Huang Xiaolong anymore, it didn’t mean no one dared to challenge the other nine in the top ten.

“Deng Lei challenges Yang Yue!”

A man named Deng Lei challenged Yang Yue among the top ten.

Deng Lei’s challenge caused a stir among the crowd again.

Because Deng Lei was also extremely strong, although he was only at the Divine Domain First-stage Late Stage, his strength was not much less than Xie Ning who was defeated earlier, and he was the second-ranked in the previous freshman assessment.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Deng Lei also failed in his challenge and lost to Yang Yue, who was among the top ten.

Of course, although Yang Yue successfully defeated Deng Lei, his victory was not as effortless as Huang Xiaolong’s victory over Xie Ning; it came after a hard fight and a narrow win over his opponent.

After Deng Lei, several more people successively challenged the top ten.

People such as You Junfei, Su Guo, Xu Shaoqing, and Wu Xiaoshi were all specifically challenged.

Xu Shaoqing was successfully ousted from the top ten rankings by a disciple named Fang Qun.

However, although many challenged the top ten, no one dared to specifically challenge Gudu Leng and Wang Biaoyuan.

Over an hour later, the top ten rankings were finally established.

According to the assessment rules, after the top ten rankings were confirmed, the battle for the first place would commence.

The fight for the first place was different from before in that it did not assign a specific person, but it allowed Gudu Leng, Wang Biaoyuan, Huang Xiaolong, and others in the top ten to nominate themselves.

Anyone among the ten who believed they had the strength to seize the first place could step up to the Hidden Dragon Platform and accept challenges from the other nine.

However, as soon as Zhang Tianchuan’s voice fell, a silence ensued, and no one immediately stepped onto the platform.

Everyone knew that the first to step up would be at a great disadvantage, having to face the challenge of the other nine.

As Gudu Leng’s eyes flickered and he was about to step up, suddenly, a figure flashed, and one person leapt up, landing in the center of the Hidden Dragon Platform.

“Huang Xiaolong!”

A chorus of gasps rose from the surrounding disciples.

The one who landed in the center of the Hidden Dragon Platform was indeed Huang Xiaolong.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s figure, everyone was momentarily surprised, including Gudu Leng and Wang Biaoyuan.

No one had expected Huang Xiaolong to be so bold as to be the first to step up and challenge the other nine challengers.

“Could this young man think that by defeating Xie Ning, he considers himself the best?” Wang Biaoyuan snickered in secret.

Although Huang Xiaolong’s strength in defeating Xie Ning was beyond their expectations, he didn’t take it to heart.

With his current strength, he could easily crush Xie Ning, who was at the Divine Domain First Stage Late Stage Peak.

The difference between Divine Domain First Stage Late Stage Peak and Divine Domain Second Stage was like heaven and earth.

As Huang Xiaolong stood on the Hidden Dragon Platform, he ignored the gasps of the surrounding disciples, looked towards Gudu Leng, Wang Biaoyuan, and the other nine and spoke indifferently, “Huang Xiaolong nominates himself for first place, any challengers?”

The previously noisy surroundings suddenly quieted down as everyone turned to look towards Gudu Leng, Wang Biaoyuan, and the other nine.

“What, does no one dare to come up and challenge?” After a while, seeing no challengers, Huang Xiaolong spoke indifferently.

A cold gleam flashed in Wang Biaoyuan’s eyes.

Just as he was about to step forward, suddenly, a figure drifted down in front of Huang Xiaolong.

“Luo Kai!”

When everyone recognized the challenger, a buzz arose.

Luo Kai, although he was the top-ranked in the first three previous freshman assessments and was extremely strong enough to vie for the top five this time, in everyone’s view, only Gudu Leng and Wang Biaoyuan were considered capable of battling Huang Xiaolong.

Luo Kai stepped forward to challenge Huang Xiaolong; was this not a death wish?

Huang Xiaolong was also somewhat surprised when he saw Luo Kai challenging him.

Luo Kai, his face calm while listening to the surrounding disciples’ discussions, stared at Huang Xiaolong with blazing eyes and spoke, “Huang Xiaolong, I admit you are indeed very strong, even Xie Ning is no match for you, but today, I still want to fight you, and I will defeat you!” His eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and as he finished speaking, a strong aura burst forth from his body completely.

As the aura burst from Luo Kai’s body, the entire space of the Hidden Dragon Platform trembled.

Everyone’s faces changed.

“Divine Domain Second Stage!”

“My God, Luo Kai has actually broken through to the Divine Domain Second Stage!”

Suddenly, the surrounding disciples on the Hidden Dragon Platform stirred violently, shocked and in disbelief.

Initially, most people thought Luo Kai challenging Huang Xiaolong was purely a suicidal act, but now, everyone was stunned.

After breaking through the Divine Domain, it was extremely difficult to advance, and with every slight improvement, one’s strength would double, yet the leap from Divine Domain First Stage Late Stage Peak to Divine Domain Second Stage was absolutely not as simple as just doubling.

Divine Domain First Stage Late Stage Peak was still Divine Domain First Stage, whereas the Divine Domain Second Stage, even at the Early Stage, was vastly different from the Late Stage Peak of the First Stage.

Huang Xiaolong managed to defeat Xie Ning, who was at the Peak of the Divine Domain First Stage Late Stage, but could he defeat Luo Kai, now at the Divine Domain Second Stage?

No one was sure anymore.

Even Gudu Leng and Wang Biaoyuan were very surprised; they hadn’t expected that in this Outer Disciple assessment, besides the two of them, Luo Kai had also broken through to the Divine Domain Second Stage, having hidden his strength deeply and deceiving everyone.

No wonder Luo Kai dared to challenge Huang Xiaolong.

On the podium, Zhang Tianchuan’s eyes flickered; Luo Kai had actually broken through to the Divine Domain Second Stage!

Huang Xiaolong watched Luo Kai, who was releasing his full momentum across from him, his expression as indifferent as before.

Divine Domain Second Stage?

No wonder he’s so confident, bold enough to claim he would defeat me.

After Luo Kai’s momentum reached its peak, he stopped, feeling the shocked gazes of the surrounding disciples, and looked at Huang Xiaolong, “Huang Xiaolong, make your move, out of respect that you are the Pavilion Master’s disciple, I’ll let you strike first.” A flash of arrogance flickered in his eyes.

Out of respect that you are the Pavilion Master’s disciple, I’ll let you strike first?

When the surrounding disciples heard this, they stirred again, then excitement filled the air; Luo Kai was arrogant indeed – but they liked it!

Many even started to shout, cheering for Luo Kai.

“You sure, you want me to strike first?” Huang Xiaolong looked at him, smiling yet not smiling.

“Correct,” Luo Kai nodded.

As Luo Kai’s voice fell, suddenly, Huang Xiaolong moved, flashed, and appeared before Luo Kai, then threw a punch without any fancy moves or power fluctuation.

Luo Kai was shocked, and in panic, he threw a punch to meet the attack.

Their fists collided, and Luo Kai’s expression drastically changed.

His previous smugness and arrogance disappeared instantly, replaced by fear and shock.

With a heavy rumbling sound, a scream was heard, and a figure was thrown flying before smashing into the ground below the Hidden Dragon Platform, causing a slight dust-up on impact.

The disciples who had been cheering for Luo Kai stopped in place, their excitement vanishing, replaced by bewilderment and stupor.

Did Luo Kai really advance to the Divine Domain Second Stage?

A Divine Domain Second Stage, just like that, finished?

Still only in one move!

Everyone stared at Luo Kai lying under the Hidden Dragon Platform, uncertain if he was dead or alive, their breaths caught in their throats, and the disciples who had been cheering for Luo Kai were frightened into trembling chaos below.

Gudu Leng and Wang Biaoyuan’s faces twitched.(To be continued.
