Chapter 846: Chapter 842: Slapping Face to Act Important?
“Bone age: two hundred and fifty-eight.”
The Wangu Clan disciple responsible for registration and testing stared at the words on the mirror, dumbfounded, having been in charge of registration for almost a year now.
During this year, he had handled the registration for tens of thousands of disciples, if not hundreds of thousands. The majority of disciples registering from various major star rivers had a bone age of over a thousand years, with many exceeding fifteen hundred. Those under a thousand were rare, and generally over eight hundred.
He had never seen a bone age under five hundred.
Now, not only was Huang Xiaolong’s bone age under five hundred, it was merely two hundred and fifty-eight years!
All around, family disciples focusing on Huang Xiaolong’s test results were also stunned, including the young sister duo who had been discussing him earlier.
After a while, everyone finally came to their senses, all gasping in astonishment as they looked at Huang Xiaolong.
Generally, cultivation starts at six, which means Huang Xiaolong had been cultivating for only two hundred and fifty-two years!
Two hundred and fifty-two years!
Some prodigy disciples from the super sects of the Star River could reach Divine Domain Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak Great Perfection within two hundred years of cultivation, though they were few and far between.
However, to easily defeat a Divine-level First Stage Late Stage expert after only two hundred years of cultivation was unprecedented!
To reach such a level would require an inconceivable degree of genius!
The disciples registering from all major star rivers were rare geniuses within their sects, but compared to Huang Xiaolong, they were practically pig heads!
In a distant pavilion, Wangu Shuo, who had been regretting his bet with Wangu Changqing, stared at the test results dumbfounded. After a moment, when he finally came to his senses, he felt not the joy of winning the bet but shock.
Wangu Changqing also murmured to himself, “I never thought such an unparalleled prodigy would emerge in this Divine Advancement Tournament!” Then, turning to Wangu Shuo with a bitter smile, he said, “Still, you have a keen eye; you won.”
Wangu Shuo nodded, eyes fixed on Huang Xiaolong in the distance, eyes flashing, deep in thought.
“What? Are you tempted? Thinking of taking a disciple?” Wangu Changqing teased.
But Wangu Shuo shook his head, “Such a prodigy is beyond our capability to teach.”
Wangu Changqing nodded, “It’s a pity that although this one’s talent is monstrous, his cultivation time is too short. He won’t achieve any remarkable standings in this competition, and participating with his current strength in the Thunder Expansion Divine Realm likely has a ninety percent chance of falling.”
Wangu Shuo also sighed with regret, “In this vast Star River, there are countless prodigy geniuses, but few truly rise to prominence. Those who fall, no matter how talented, are wasted.”
At this time, the plaza was full of commotion, disciples all around discussing feverishly.
Standing in front of the mirror, Huang Xiaolong saw that the Wangu Clan disciple responsible for registration and testing was unresponsive for a long time and couldn’t help but frown, “Are we done?”
The Wangu Clan disciple finally snapped out of it, hurriedly saying, “Yes, yes, it’s done.”
Then he hastily pulled out a Jade Token, engraving Huang Xiaolong’s details and his originating star river onto it before directing Huang Xiaolong to drip a drop of blood on it and refine the token.
This Jade Token would allow entry into the Thunder Expansion Divine Realm during the competition.
Huang Xiaolong dripped a drop of blood on the Jade Token and refined it, the competition rules and rewards contained within the token imprinting into his mind.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone around, Huang Xiaolong left the plaza and, after finding his master Feng Yang and others outside, departed together.
There were still over thirty days before the competition, so they needed to find a place to stay first.
To Huang Xiaolong’s dismay, there were so many family experts from the various star rivers that, despite the numerous inns in Wangu City, all were overcrowded with no available rooms.
“Master, shall we look in the other cities?” Liu Yun asked Feng Yang.
Feng Yang shook his head, “The cities around here are likely the same.”
Huang Xiaolong clapped his forehead, saying, “Master, let’s go to the building trading market.”
“Go to the building trading market?” Feng Yang and the others were taken aback, a thought flashing through their minds—could it be that Huang Xiaolong intended?
Indeed, Huang Xiaolong intended to purchase a mansion.
Though the prices of mansions in Wangu City were undoubtedly astronomical, money was the least of Huang Xiaolong’s concerns.
Moreover, the competition was set to last two years, and he couldn’t have his master Feng Yang and others camping out for that duration, waiting for him to finish.
After inquiring about the Wangu City building trading market, Huang Xiaolong and his master Feng Yang headed straight there.
The building trading market in Wangu City was enormous, spanning an entire street with thousands of shops. Huang Xiaolong chose the largest-looking one and entered with his group.
As they entered, a shop assistant greeted them with a smile, asking, “What would you like to purchase? Furniture or decorative items?”
In some large building trading businesses, besides mansions and inns, they also sold various valuable furniture and decorations. In a supercity like Wangu City, mansion prices were exorbitantly high, with few inquiries, so the shop assistant assumed Huang Xiaolong’s group was there to buy furniture and decorations.
Huang Xiaolong stated his intention directly, “We wish to purchase a mansion, preferably in the center area of Wangu City.”
The shop assistant was momentarily stunned.
Buying a mansion, and it had to be in the center area of Wangu City?
Huang Xiaolong’s words drew the attention of some disciples from the Galaxy Family who were there purchasing furniture.
A family disciple dressed in a green robe snickered and said, “Kid, you must be from another star river here for the competition, right? Are you sure you can afford a mansion in the center of our Wangu City?” With that, he turned to his attendant and said, “Boy, tell this person about our Wangu City’s mansion prices.”
The attendant respectfully responded, then raised his head and said to Huang Xiaolong, “Listen carefully, in our Wangu City, even the mansions in the most remote areas, poorly constructed, go for no less than a hundred billion. As for those in the center area, they generally cost eight hundred billion, with the best exceeding a trillion!”
Upon hearing that even the most basic mansions in Wangu City’s center area cost eight hundred billion, and the best exceeded a trillion, even Feng Yang, as the Xuanwu Mansion Master, was visibly shocked.
Liu Yun, Chen Yang, and Qi Wen were similarly shocked.
Huang Xiaolong, however, ignored them and asked the shop assistant, “Which is your best mansion in Wangu City’s center area?”
The surrounding Galaxy disciples were stunned.
The family disciple in the green robe was amused, feeling that by Huang Xiaolong’s tone, not only did he want to purchase a mansion in the center area of Wangu City, but he also wanted the best!
He had seen people pretend to be wealthy before, but never to such a blatant extent, and so self-assured. (To be continued.
