Invincible Over the World
Chapter 783 - 783 780 The Arena Contest

783: Chapter 780: The Arena Contest 783: Chapter 780: The Arena Contest All eyes followed the sound to its source.

A group of enchanting women in palace dresses were seen drifting from the distance, each one dazzlingly beautiful.

They surrounded a bewitching, dignified, and tender-looking young matron with a face that could launch a thousand ships, appearing to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Is this the Jade Pool Saint Mother?

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shone with amazement; he hadn’t expected the Jade Pool Saint Mother to be such a great beauty.

In terms of looks, she was on par with Shi Xiaofei, and she possessed an additional charm of maturity that Shi did not.

Seeing the Jade Pool Saint Mother’s arrival, all the elders and family heads who were seated stood up.

Amidst a flurry of falling flowers, the Jade Pool Saint Mother and the Jade Pool girls floated down in front of everyone.

The Jade Pool Saint Mother smiled and nodded in greeting to each of the formidable figures present.

Although she was the former number one on the Divine List, she did not dare to rely solely on her strength and status in front of these figures; after all, nearly all in attendance were ancestors and family heads of super forces.

After politely greeting everyone, the Jade Pool Saint Mother took her seat at the central lotus position.

Whether intentionally or not, her gaze fell upon the space ring on the table of Xuanwu Mansion Master Feng Yang, and she smiled at Feng Yang, “Mansion Master Feng, is this your direct disciple Huang Xiaolong?” She glanced over Feng Yang to look at Huang Xiaolong behind him.

Feng Yang chuckled softly, “I didn’t expect the Saint Mother to know of my unworthy disciple.”

When Huang Xiaolong heard the Jade Pool Saint Mother mention him, he couldn’t pretend not to hear and had to greet the Jade Pool Saint Mother with a cupped-fist salute.

The Jade Pool Saint Mother nodded with a warm smile, “Although I haven’t left the Great Lake Realm in nearly ten thousand years, I am still aware of the name of this Pill King.

Mansion Master Feng has indeed taken on a good disciple.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Yang chuckled again, exchanging pleasantries.

“I also have an old acquaintance with your master, Elder Sheng Yue.” The Jade Pool Saint Mother turned her smile towards Huang Xiaolong, “Elder Sheng once gave me alchemy pointers.

I could even be considered half a registered disciple of Elder Sheng Yue, so you should call me your martial sister.”

Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected the Jade Pool Saint Mother to have such a relationship with Old Man Sheng Yue.

He had never heard Old Man Sheng Yue mention this before.

However, since the Jade Pool Saint Mother had put it that way, Huang Xiaolong had no choice but to thicken his skin and say, “Greetings, Martial Sister Jade Pool.”

The Jade Pool Saint Mother heard Huang Xiaolong address her and nodded with a smile.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong and the Jade Pool Saint Mother chatting away amicably, Azure Dragon Mansion Master Qin Yi felt displeased, his face darkening slightly.

However, it wasn’t his place to interrupt at that moment.

All of a sudden, the Jade Pool Saint Mother looked towards Qin Yi and smiled, “I’ve heard about the wager between Mansion Master Qin and Lord Feng from my disciples.

How about I join in the fun?

Both parties, regardless of who loses, will receive a hundred of my Purple Crystal Water Nourishing God Pills.” With that, she waved her hand and a crystal jade bottle appeared in mid-air.

The prohibitions on the crystal jade bottle were released, and a burst of purple light dazzled, causing everyone’s eyes to be momentarily blinded.

Once their vision was restored, they saw that the crystal jade bottle was filled with elixir pills, each resembling a purple crystal with an alluring spiritual energy that deeply captivated everyone’s gaze.

This was the legendary Purple Crystal Water Soaking Divine Pill, even surpassing the Supreme Divine Pill!

The crowd was set ablaze with excitement!

And their eyes were filled with intense envy.

“Of course, aside from the disciples of Azure Dragon Academy and Xuanwu Academy, any other school, sect, or family disciples who step onto the stage will receive ten Purple Crystal Water Soaking Divine Pills, regardless of whether they win or lose,”

Upon hearing this, the crowd burst into an uproar, and disciples from various factions became excited.

The Jade Pool Saint Mother then pointed with her right hand, and a several hundred square meter arena appeared above the Turquoise Pool, saying, “For dueling disciples, aside from verbally admitting defeat, falling out of the arena also counts as a loss.” She then smiled and elaborated on some rules of the competition.

When the Jade Pool Saint Mother mentioned rules like stopping at first contact, the various disciples didn’t pay much attention.

In arena duels, injuries and fatalities were normal.

As soon as the Jade Pool Saint Mother’s voice fell, the competition on the arena began.

However, for a time, no disciple from any camp took to the arena.

After a while, suddenly, a grey figure shot up from the ground and landed on the arena.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed, recognizing the grey figure as the Jiang Family disciple who had verbally provoked him earlier — Jiang Han Zhi, ranked fifth on the Ascending God List!

Once Jiang Han Zhi landed on the arena, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked down loftily at the disciples from all sides.

His gaze paused on Huang Xiaolong as he passed by, and then he declared, “I am Jiang Han Zhi from Xuanwu Star River.

May I ask which friend will honor me with a bout?” As he said this, his gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally towards Huang Xiaolong, his provocative demeanor clear for all to see.

“I’ll take you on!” Just as Jiang Han Zhi’s provocative gaze landed on Huang Xiaolong, a resonant voice suddenly called out, followed by a tall, middle-aged man flying onto the arena.

The middle-aged man greeted Jiang Han Zhi with a fist and palm salute, saying, “Broken Sword Sect’s Jia Rong of White Tiger Star River, please enlighten me.” Once he finished speaking, the sword light flashed, and an ancient-looking broken sword appeared around his body.

“So it’s someone from the Broken Sword Sect.

I’ve long heard of the unmatched swordsmanship of your sect,” Jiang Han Zhi said indifferently.

“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance; I’ll let you make the first move, show me your strongest attack.”

Although Jia Rong was indeed a Divine Domain Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak, Jiang Han Zhi did not take him seriously.

Upon hearing this, Jia Rong from the Broken Sword Sect let out an irate shout, “Broken Sword Technique!” Immediately, the broken sword surrounding him hummed, and the sword qi surged towards the sky, attacking Jiang Han Zhi with full force.

Instantly, numerous sword qi burst forth, and to the surprise of the crowd, the sword qi seemingly split mid-attack, exhibiting a strange phenomenon.

Seeing this, Jiang Han Zhi suddenly stretched out his right hand, like a Divine Dragon emerging from the sea.

With one grasp, all the sword qi flew towards his palm, and with a sweep of his right hand, the sword qi was instantly redirected back towards Jia Rong.

The middle-aged man, Jia Rong, was taken aback and frantically dodged, but he was still a step slow.

He got hit by the returning Broken Sword qi and fell off the arena with more than a dozen bloody holes in his chest, bleeding profusely.

The powerhouses from the Broken Sword Sect were shocked, hastening to aid him.

The crowd murmured among themselves, astonished by Jiang Han Zhi’s formidable strength, as he had defeated Jia Rong from the Broken Sword Sect in one move.

Watching the outcome of the exchange on the arena, Huang Xiaolong’s expression indifference.

In the past, he encountered five disciples from the Broken Sword Sect in the Heavenly God Mountain Valley, who wanted to harm Huang Xiaolong and Shi Xiaofei, so naturally, Huang Xiaolong had no fondness for the disciples of the Broken Sword Sect.

After Jiang Han Zhi defeated Jia Rong with one strike, he arrogantly asked, “Who else wants to come up?”

The disciples from the various factions remained still.

As Jiang Han Zhi was about to challenge Huang Xiaolong to a fight, a figure soared into the sky and landed on the arena.

A buzz went through the crowd of powerhouses, for the one who had taken to the arena was none other than Lu Cong from Azure Dragon Academy.(To be continued.
