Chapter 857: Chapter 853: Not an Illusion

Just like before, although Huang Xiaolong’s name appeared on the rankings outside Eternal Ancient Square, it didn’t attract much attention. The rank list of three thousand people mostly draws attention from various powerhouses to those ranked within the top one hundred, followed by the top one thousand.

However, the Supreme Elder of Azure Dragon Academy, Wang Hong, often looked at the bottom of the ranking list. Although Zeng Chu and others believed he was hallucinating when he saw Huang Xiaolong ranked three thousand before, he still felt deep down that it wasn’t an illusion.

Yet, after a few days, Huang Xiaolong’s name no longer appeared.

This made him begin to doubt again. Could it be that he really saw it wrong?

Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze from the bottom of the ranking list, suddenly, his eyes froze there, staring blankly at the spot ranked two thousand nine hundred and forty-five.

There, it was unmistakably written: Huang Xiaolong!

Huang Xiaolong?!

His breath tightened as he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Could it be another hallucination?

After rubbing his eyes and looking again, it was still Huang Xiaolong! It was definitely Huang Xiaolong!

However, this time, he didn’t cry out in shock but rubbed his eyes again, fearing it was indeed a delusion.

Looking again, the rank at two thousand nine hundred and forty-five had changed to another disciple named Lin Xin.

Seeing this, Wang Hong let out a relieved breath. It seemed he had hallucinated again earlier, totally seeing it wrong. Luckily, he didn’t shout, or else he would have been reprimanded by Zeng Chu and others once more.

But then, his eyes froze again as he saw Huang Xiaolong’s name appear at the two thousand nine hundred and thirty-one position!

Two thousand nine hundred and thirty-one!

It rose by fourteen ranks!

Could it be earlier? A flash crossed his mind, his expression changed in astonishment.

Earlier was not an illusion!

Then, he saw Huang Xiaolong’s name glimmer with lights, rising again, now at the two thousand nine hundred and twelve position!

Two thousand nine hundred and twelve!

Soon, Huang Xiaolong’s name rose again, this time directly to two thousand eight hundred and seventy-three!

Wang Hong stared like he’d seen a ghost, eyes wide open, breathing heavily, hands and feet trembling a bit, shaking his head repeatedly, shouting in horror, “No way, impossible for it to be real, definitely impossible!”

Wang Hong’s scream made Qin Yi, Zeng Chu, and others turn their heads.

Qin Yi frowned, his face darkened, “What’s impossible? I’ve said before, with Huang Xiaolong’s strength, it’s impossible to make it into the top three thousand!”

Wang Hong, however, ignored Qin Yi, still pointing at the ranking list, trembling and saying, “No, it’s not… it’s Huang Xiaolong, Huang Xiaolong!”

Qin Yi, Zeng Chu, and others sensed something off, following Wang Hong’s gaze to the spot at two thousand eight hundred and seventy-three. But just then, Huang Xiaolong’s name flickered, suddenly jumping up a large span, disappearing from two thousand eight hundred seventy-three and appearing at the two thousand four hundred and twelve position.

Thus, when Qin Yi, Zeng Chu, and others looked at the position two thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, they didn’t see Huang Xiaolong’s name.

Zeng Chu couldn’t help but mock Wang Hong, “I think you always hope Huang Xiaolong appears on the list, which is why you often hallucinate, mistaking it every time!”

Qin Yi also looked cold, secretly deciding to scrutinize Wang Hong well after the competition.

But Wang Hong still ignored Zeng Chu’s mockery, still pointing at the ranking list, hesitantly saying, “Huang, Huang Xiaolong, so fast!”

So fast?

Qin Yi, Zeng Chu, and others looked once more.

Finally, they saw Huang Xiaolong’s name at the two thousand two hundred and sixty-four position!

Qin Yi, Zeng Chu, and others were all dumbfounded.

Was it really Huang Xiaolong?!

Like Wang Hong before, Zeng Chu and others rubbed their eyes and looked again, but Huang Xiaolong’s name remained at the two thousand two hundred and sixty-four position!

Just then, suddenly Huang Xiaolong’s name shimmered with light, appearing again at the two thousand one hundred and twenty-five position!

Qin Yi, Zeng Chu, and others finally understood what Wang Hong meant by “so fast,” referring to the rapid rise in Huang Xiaolong’s rankings.

“It’s already over nineteen hundred!” Wang Hong said with wide-open mouth, trembling.

This time, Qin Yi, Zeng Chu, and others didn’t mock or reprimand him.

Qin Yi watched Huang Xiaolong’s ranking jump at a terrifying speed, his face darkened, realizing he underestimated Huang Xiaolong. He didn’t expect this kid not only survived but also wasn’t as weak as he imagined.

Simultaneously, he remembered, days ago, Wang Hong said he saw Huang Xiaolong’s name appear at the three thousand position, and now it seems Wang Hong at that time was not hallucinating or mistaking it.

It was real!

“Who would’ve thought that Huang Xiaogou’s strength is actually so strong, it seems he previously concealed his realm, perhaps he’s already broken through to the Divine Level like my junior brother,” Zeng Chu said in a deep voice.

He didn’t believe Huang Xiaolong is truly Divine Domain Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak.

To know, disciples ranked within the top two thousand are absolutely of Divine-level Second-stage Late Stage strength.

A mere Divine Domain, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t have done it.

It only meant Huang Xiaolong had long broken through to the Divine Level, just using Secret Technique to conceal his realm!

“But even if Huang Xiaolong broke through to the Divine Level, it’s impossible to beat a junior brother with Green Dragon Divine Fire. He might only rank over a thousand but can never make it into the top thousand!” Zeng Chu continued to sneer, “Over a thousand is virtually useless.”

This competition only rewards the top one thousand.

“Indeed, it’s absolutely impossible for Huang Xiaolong to enter the top thousand,” an Azure Dragon Academy Supreme Elder added, “Moreover, current rankings don’t mean much, he might drop out of the top two thousand, even fall out of the top three thousand in days!”

While the Azure Dragon Academy crowd coldly sneered at Huang Xiaolong, in another corner of Eternal Ancient Square, Yelv Family Master Yelv Chu Fei and the numerous Supreme Elders of the Yelv Family were also watching the ranking list.

Yelv Chu Fei was keeping an eye on rank fifteen, Yelv Tianfeng! He hoped that this most evil prodigy and dazzling genius of the Yelv Family’s history could surprise him, breaking into the top ten!

“Father, big brother will surely make it to the top ten!” Yelv Tianhao said beside him.

Yelv Chu Fei nodded.

At this moment, a Supreme Elder of the Yelv Family suddenly turned pale, pointing at the rank one thousand and eighty-seven position, “Family Master, look, Yelv Xuan!”

Yelv Chu Fei and the Yelv Family crowd found it strange, looking to see Yelv Xuan’s originally dazzling name at the one thousand eighty-seven position suddenly fade and then scatter like fireworks, vanishing completely from the rank list!

This scene was not unfamiliar to them; if a participating disciple’s name scattered and disappeared entirely from the ranking list, it meant this disciple had perished!

That is, died!

The Yelv Family crowd fell into silence. (. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
