Invincible Over the World
Chapter 97 - 97 97 Four Years Passed

97: Chapter 97 Four Years Passed 97: Chapter 97 Four Years Passed Two days passed.

Like the last time, after preparing the necessary items, Huang Xiaolong left the Heavenly Mystical Mansion and went to the Silver Moon Forest to cultivate; this time, he also took the little Soul-devouring Purple Monkey with him.

Three months later, by a lake in the Silver Moon Forest, a Seventh Rank Fiery Flame Rhinoceros was walking towards the lake.

Suddenly, a double flash of cold light, and the Seventh Rank Fiery Flame Rhinoceros let out a scream as blood splattered, collapsing to the ground.

As the rhinoceros fell, Huang Xiaolong’s figure appeared.

He approached the rhinoceros’s corpse, wielded his Shura Blade, and extracted its Demon Core.

After taking out the rhinoceros’s Demon Core, Huang Xiaolong sent it into the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, letting the pagoda devour the Demon Essence Power within.

After the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda devoured the Demon Essence Power, a Flame Dragon Pearl was close to materializing.

“Continuing like this, it’s still too slow,” thought Huang Xiaolong to himself.

In these three months, Huang Xiaolong had averaged five Seventh-stage demon beasts a day, amounting to more than four hundred over three months, and had only managed to congeal a little over twenty Flame Dragon Pearls.

Over ninety days, only a little over twenty Flame Dragon Pearls!

Huang Xiaolong shook his head.

At this rate, the Flame Dragon Pearls congealed were still not enough for him to consume and cultivate.

Before coming to Silver Moon Forest to cultivate, Huang Xiaolong had given his parents, Marshal Haotian, Fei Hou, and others eighty Flame Dragon Pearls.

There were not many Flame Dragon Pearls left in the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda to begin with, and now, three months later, the Flame Dragon Pearls inside had already been completely consumed by Huang Xiaolong for cultivation.

However, there was no helping it.

“In one year, I should be able to break through to the Eighth Rank,” Huang Xiaolong thought.

Once he broke through to the Eighth Rank, he could hunt Eighth-stage demon beasts whose Demon Cores contained several times denser Demon Essence Power compared to Seventh Rank ones, and by then, the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda should be able to congeal a Flame Dragon Pearl every day.

“Squeak squeak squeak!” At this moment, the little Soul-devouring Purple Monkey ran over from the distance and, seeing the dead Seventh Rank Fiery Flame Rhinoceros on the ground, squeaked dissatisfiedly at Huang Xiaolong.

Since the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda needed Demon Cores to devour their Demon Essence Power, Huang Xiaolong had become a rival for its “meal” during the cultivation in Silver Moon Forest; whoever killed the demon beast first would get its Demon Core.

And every time, Huang Xiaolong was faster than it.

So, no wonder the little Soul-devouring Purple Monkey felt disgruntled.

…

Time passed.

Soon, nine months had gone by, and another year’s end had arrived.

At the year’s end, Huang Xiaolong finally took the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey back to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.

On the first day of the New Year, he enjoyed the joy of reunion with his family, and of course, he also participated in the end-of-the-year class competition at Star Sky Academy.

As expected, Huang Xiaolong won first place in Class Six of the second year, defeating Lu Kai and Ye Yong one after the other.

However, although Huang Xiaolong won first place in his class, he was not yet able to take the first place for the year as the strongest of the second year was at the Peak of Late Stage Eighth Rank.

Not long after the New Year passed, Huang Xiaolong and the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey left the Heavenly Mystical Mansion once more, continuing their cultivation in the Silver Moon Forest.

Spring came and went, autumn followed.

One year passed after another.

Each year’s end, Huang Xiaolong would return to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion and participate in the academy’s annual class competition.

Four years passed.

The sun blazed fiercely, illuminating the earth, as a youth who appeared to be fifteen or sixteen, accompanied by a monkey, sprinted through the Silver Moon Forest.

With exceptional speed, he dashed through the woods like a fleeting shadow.

Suddenly, the sprinting youth came to a halt, leapt aside in a flash, just evading an attack from a gigantic demon bear that struck the spot where he had just been standing.

After dodging the huge demon bear’s attack, the youth’s figure folded back, and he unleashed a Crash Fist that burst forth, striking the bear squarely.

His fist force layered upon itself, instantly piercing through the beast’s chest and protruding from its back.

The massive demon bear crashed to the ground.

This youth was none other than Huang Xiaolong.

Four years had passed, and Huang Xiaolong had grown into a handsome young man, over 1.7 meters tall, close to 1.8, with a well-built muscular body, sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a straight nose, and red lips.

In those four years, Huang Xiaolong’s Combat Energy Cultivation had not only broken through to the Eighth Rank but had reached the Peak of Late Stage Eighth Rank, and he was on the verge of breaking through to the Ninth Rank at any moment.

However, the massive demon bear that Huang Xiaolong had killed with a single punch was not an Eighth Stage demon beast, but a Ninth Rank one.

Although Huang Xiaolong was only at the Peak of Late Stage Eighth Rank, his strength was such that he could easily kill a demon beast at the Early Stage of the Ninth Rank.

Huang Xiaolong walked over to the bear’s corpse, extracted its Demon Core, and placed it into the Exquisite Treasure Tower.

Instantly, the Exquisite Treasure Tower devoured the Demon Essence Power of the Ninth Rank Demon Core, condensing a Flame Dragon Pearl.

A Ninth Rank Demon Core contained dozens of times more Demon Essence Power than a Seventh Rank Demon Pill—one was enough for the Exquisite Treasure Tower to condense a Flame Dragon Pearl.

“The twentieth one!” Huang Xiaolong murmured to himself.

This month, he had hunted precisely twenty Ninth Rank demon beasts.

However, compared to Seventh and Eighth Stage demon beasts, Ninth Rank ones were not so easy to find.

On average, Huang Xiaolong could only hunt one per day.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!” At that moment, the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey leaped down, approached the bear’s corpse, and with its sharp claws, ripped the corpse open to extract its bear gallbladder.

Four years had passed, and the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey’s physique had not changed much—it was still half a meter long.

However, its body had become more brilliantly purple, and its eyes more vividly blue.

In those four years, while Huang Xiaolong’s Combat Energy Cultivation had reached the Peak of Late Stage Eighth Rank, the growth rate of the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey was not slower than Huang Xiaolong’s, who possessed the Exquisite Treasure Tower.

It, too, had reached the Peak of Level 8 Late Stage.

After killing the massive bear, Huang Xiaolong and the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey left the area to continue hunting the next demon beast.

Another two months passed by.

With the year’s end nearing, Huang Xiaolong and the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey left the Silver Moon Forest and headed back to Lutong Royal City.

Half a month later, Huang Xiaolong and the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey returned to Lutong Royal City.

“Big brother!” Just as they reached the gates of the Heavenly Mystical Mansion, a pretty girl around fourteen or fifteen rushed out from inside, calling out joyfully.

This pretty girl was Huang Xiaolong’s younger sister, Huang Min.

Four years had passed, and Huang Min had grown into a lovely young lady.

Huang Min ran over and, taking hold of Huang Xiaolong’s hand, dashed towards the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.

Huang Xiaolong chuckled, “Little girl, what’s got you so excited?”

Huang Min puckered her lips, “Big brother is so mean.

I’ve grown up now; don’t call me ‘little girl’ anymore.” Saying this, her eyes shifted playfully, and she smiled, “Guess who’s here?”

“Li Lu,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

Over the years, while Huang Xiaolong was cultivating in the Silver Moon Forest, he made sure to return to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion every year-end.

Knowing that Huang Xiaolong would always return at this time of the year, Li Lu came to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion each year to wait for him.

“You’re no fun,” Huang Min pouted, then laughed, “Sister Li Lu has been here for five days.

She’ll be so happy to know you’re back!”

Huang Xiaolong smiled and let his sister Huang Min pull him into the grand hall of the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.
