Chapter 875: Chapter 870: The Highest Can Only Be 8

“This Huang Xiaolong, did he not sustain serious injuries when he killed Xiang Mingzhi back then?” Wangu Shuo finally spoke after a long while, staring at the name “Huang Xiaolong,” glowing like the sun, ranked eighth on the list.

Wangu Changqing exhaled deeply and said, “Not only wasn’t he gravely injured, but he experienced a breakthrough!”

Only in this way could it be explained.

“Yelv Tianfeng and Beitang Wuji, both of them were Divine-level Third-stage Late Stage Peak, but they were all killed by Huang Xiaolong,” Wangu Zhi’s eyes sparkled. “Is this Huang Xiaolong now at Divine-level Fourth Rank? Did he kill Xiang Mingzhi when he was at Divine-level Third-stage Late Stage Peak? And later broke through to Fourth Rank?”

“Divine-level Third-stage Late Stage Peak?” Wangu Shuo shook his head. “Impossible, if he were Divine-level Third-stage Late Stage Peak, it would have been detected during the registration test.”

Wangu Yuan frowned. “If he’s not Divine-level Fourth Rank, how do you explain Huang Xiaolong killing Yelv Tianfeng and Beitang Wuji?”

Wangu Shuo was speechless and unsure how to explain it. The other Wangu elders also remained silent.

“This Huang Xiaolong truly took everyone by surprise.” After a while, Wangu Changqing broke the silence, “Now there’s a little over a month until the competition. I wonder where he’ll ultimately place then?”

Wangu Zhi pondered, “In my opinion, at best, he’ll remain at the current eighth position and might even be pushed out of the top ten by Jiang Xiaosu, ranked ninth, Jian Shiyi at tenth, or Lv Dongwei at eleventh.”

“It’s not impossible. Jiang Xiaosu, Jian Shiyi, and Lv Dongwei have been at Divine-level Fourth Rank for a long time. Huang Xiaolong has just broken through to Fourth Rank, and his realm is unstable. Keeping a top ten position is somewhat challenging,” Wangu Yuan nodded.

The other elders of the Wangu Clan also nodded in agreement.

However, Wangu Shuo and Wangu Changqing both remained silent. They vaguely felt that Huang Xiaolong might rank higher than eighth, possibly even entering the top five!

At this moment, Wangu Shuo suddenly recalled the scene of Huang Xiaolong, during registration, defeating a youth armed with a short blade at Divine-level First-stage Late Stage.

That black-haired boy is the same Huang Xiaolong on the list now? The thought flashed through Wangu Shuo’s mind, but he shook his head with a smile, thinking it impossible. How could a Divine Domain Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak Perfection kill Xiang Mingzhi, Yelv Tianfeng, Beitang Wuji, and others?

While the crowd outside Eternal Ancient Square was shocked and discussing Huang Xiaolong, within the Thunder Expansion Divine Realm, many disciples participating in the Star River competition also noticed the changes in the top ten rankings and were exceptionally astonished.

From the start of the competition until now, with just over a month left, the top ten had always been occupied by disciples at Divine-level Fourth Rank or above. But now, who is this Huang Xiaolong suddenly appearing in the top ten, ranked eighth?!

Participants who hadn’t been following the rankings for the past two days even doubted if it was an error.

Two days ago, Huang Xiaolong was ranked in the nine hundreds, and now, suddenly entering the top ten and occupying the eighth position, it’s no wonder those who hadn’t checked the rankings in two days suspected an error.

At this moment, on a plain not far from the mountain range of the Thunder God Cave Mansion, a lovely woman dressed in a green dress, with a thin veil covering her face yet unable to conceal her stunning beauty, withdrew her divine sense from the rankings and furrowed her brows slightly: “Huang Xiaolong? He took my spot, interesting.”

This charming young woman was precisely Jiang Xiaosu from Baofeng Academy, pushed down by Huang Xiaolong.

“According to the token from the Baofeng Academy’s disciples, the Thunder God Palace is not far ahead.” Jiang Xiaosu murmured to herself, her figure flickering as she headed towards the mountain range where the Thunder God Palace was located.

Her movements were incredibly swift; from afar, she seemed to transform into a drifting, elusive wind.

The wind is everywhere, traveling thousands of miles in a moment.

As Jiang Xiaosu rushed towards the Thunder God Palace, many disciples also received tokens from their sects, reporting the location of the Thunder God Palace, and they hurried towards it.

Among them was a massive ball of flame rolling towards the Thunder God Palace at terrifying speed.

This massive flame was a youth with a robust build.

In the center of his forehead was a flame mark, resembling the ancient character for fire, flickering and pulsing with his flight.

This young man was Lv Dongwei from the True Yang Sect, originally ranked tenth but now pushed to eleventh due to Huang Xiaolong.

Because Huang Xiaolong’s appearance pushed Lv Dongwei out of the top ten, he bore significant resentment towards Huang Xiaolong.

“Huang Xiaolong? I want to see what you’re capable of that allows you to claim the eighth position. I hope you can withstand my True Yang Fire by then, or else, hehe.” Lv Dongyang sneered coldly.

In a certain palace deep within the Thunder God Palace, a young man dressed in a white brocade robe, exuding an eternal, ancient aura, glanced at Huang Xiaolong, who appeared eighth on the list, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes.

“The Core Array should be nearby.” The young man in the white brocade robe’s eyes flickered, taking a deep breath, “Once I find that Core Array, this Thunder God Mansion will be mine!”

He flickered, disappearing into thin air.

Inside the Thunder God Palace, Huang Xiaolong, unaware of the many competing disciples’ attention due to his entry into the top ten, found that within the Thunder God Palace, his divine sense was completely restricted. With his current strength, he could only cover a hundred feet around him.

If it were any other Divine-level Third-stage Late Stage Peak disciple, they might not even be able to use their divine sense.

Huang Xiaolong frowned, realizing the Thunder God Palace was vast beyond measure, likely exceeding ten thousand palaces. The Core Array could be in any of them, and if he searched one by one, he might not find it even by the competition’s end.

However, Huang Xiaolong had no other choice but to slowly search.

Thus, Huang Xiaolong began carefully searching and sensing each palace.

Over an hour later, Huang Xiaolong appeared in front of an unassuming palace.

Staring at this humble palace, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes sparkled. Although the palace seemed plain, something unusual caught his attention.

Huang Xiaolong entered the main hall of the palace, looking towards the central pillar.

This pillar was carved with a Thunder Dragon.

Huang Xiaolong suddenly moved his hands, forming a talisman, which he directed at the Thunder Dragon’s eyes.

Immediately, the Thunder Dragon on the pillar erupted with thunderous light, waves of thunder force spread like seawater, engulfing the entire hall. Subsequently, the entire hall transformed into another scene; the once ordinary-looking hall now shone with a brilliant light, filled with a strange fragrance permeating every corner.

Huang Xiaolong looked and saw bone-like crystal stones suspended in the air, emanating sparkling light and the peculiar fragrance.

“Is this the Thunder Dragon Bone?!” A voice of surprise rang from afar as a figure appeared outside the palace.

The newcomer was a slender young man with long fingers and a vast aura, even stronger than Yelv Tianfeng and Beitang Wuji.

Divine-level Fourth Rank!
