Sun Shihai laughed and said, "That’s right, after tomorrow’s selection competition, this palace will be mine. By then, you’ll have to move out!"
Huang Xiaolong was even more puzzled. What did he an by this palace being his after tomorrow’s selection competition?
Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s expression, Sun Shihai said, "Can’t figure it out? Let put it this way, if I defeat you tomorrow, it proves that I, Sun Shihai, am stronger than you, Huang Xiaolong! It would an that your title as Supre King is nothing but an empty reputation! This palace, apart from those of the Sect Leader and the Ancestor, is the best palace in the Creation God Country. Only the best disciple is worthy of having this palace, and I am the best disciple of the Creation Emperor Palace. You, Huang Xiaolong, are not worthy of owning this palace at all!"
"By then, my master will step in and bring up this matter with the Sect Leader. Even if the Sect Leader favors you, it wouldn’t be appropriate to still give you this palace, right?"
Hearing Sun Shihai’s explanation, Huang Xiaolong finally understood.
Huang Xiaolong shook his head and smiled.
Seeing this, Sun Shihai asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with your brain?" Huang Xiaolong still wore a smile and retorted.
Sun Shihai was taken aback, then burst into anger, "Huang Xiaolong, do you really think that because the Sect Leader favors you, I wouldn’t dare to cripple you?" His aura surged.
At this mont, the sound of sothing cutting through the air ca.
"Sun Shihai, what are you up to?" A sharp voice followed.
The newcors were none other than Fang Xuanxuan and Peng Xiao, the two young won.
Seeing it was Fang Xuanxuan and Peng Xiao, Sun Shihai imdiately retracted his aura, saying to Fang Xuanxuan, "So it’s Miss Xuanxuan, it’s nothing. I just ca to ask Huang Xiaolong a few things."
Though proud, he dared not be too presumptuous in front of Fang Xuanxuan.
After all, Fang Xuanxuan was the daughter of Fang Qian.
"So, are you done asking? If you are, you can leave." Peng Xiao looked at Sun Shihai and said.
Seeing Peng Xiao obviously siding with Huang Xiaolong, Sun Shihai was furious inside, feeling even more jealous and resentful towards Huang Xiaolong. But he quickly suppressed his anger and said to Huang Xiaolong, "Huang Xiaolong, see you in the arena tomorrow. By then, I will exert all my strength, and I hope you can withstand five of my moves."
After speaking, he ignored the two won and flew away directly.
The two won were slightly angry, hearing Sun Shihai’s arrogant tone.
Did Sun Shihai an to defeat Huang Xiaolong within five moves?
"What five moves? Sun Shihai really thinks he’s that strong." Fang Xuanxuan looked at Sun Shihai’s back and said coldly.
Huang Xiaolong smiled at the two won and said, "I was just about to tell Sun Shihai that I could defeat him in a single move."
Fang Xuanxuan and Peng Xiao were taken aback, then both laughed softly.
"I didn’t realize you’re even more arrogant than that Sun Shihai." Fang Xuanxuan teased and laughed.
Huang Xiaolong shrugged, "Facing an arrogant person, you have to be more arrogant than he is for him to fear you."
The two won laughed again.
Peng Xiao said, "Then I’ll try your thod in the future and see if it works."
"What brings you two here?" Huang Xiaolong changed the topic and asked.
"We heard you’ve been here the past two days, and since we had nothing to do, we thought we’d co and check on you," Fang Xuanxuan explained, but as she spoke, her heart unintentionally beat faster.
Peng Xiao pouted and said, "What? Not welcoming us?"
Huang Xiaolong laughed and said, "With the presence of two beautiful ladies, I’m certainly welcoming." Saying this, he made a gesture of invitation, "Please co in, beautiful ladies."
Fang Xuanxuan covered her mouth and laughed, "That’s more like it."
The two won then followed Huang Xiaolong inside.
After sitting down, Peng Xiao asked, "What did Sun Shihai co to ask you about?"
Huang Xiaolong didn’t hide it and recounted what Sun Shihai had just said.
Both won, after hearing it, were visibly annoyed.
"Xiao Long, what if you really encounter Sun Shihai in tomorrow’s selection competition? What should you do?" Peng Xiao asked, her face full of concern.
Huang Xiaolong smiled, thinking even the two won believed he wasn’t Sun Shihai’s match?
"What should I do if I really encounter Sun Shihai? I definitely won’t hold back. I’ll punch him so hard that his master won’t recognize him," Huang Xiaolong said, half-joking and half-serious.
The initially worried two won smiled. Fang Xuanxuan said, "At a ti like this, you still have a sense of humor to joke around."
Huang Xiaolong laughed, "I’m not joking, I’m being serious."
Peng Xiao rolled her eyes at Huang Xiaolong, "We know you’re not joking, okay?"
Though they said that, clearly the two thought Huang Xiaolong was still joking.
Huang Xiaolong could only show a helpless expression, seemingly realizing that, aside from Li Lu, no one else believed he would win.
An hour later, Fang Xuanxuan and Peng Xiao left. After they departed, Huang Xiaolong didn’t cultivate but instead took out the Netherworld King Jade, owned by the Hell Master.
Since refining the third prohibition of the Netherworld King Jade, Huang Xiaolong had begun to connect with the dark power within it, which gradually tempered his Primordial Dragon Divine Body and Three Supre Divine Forms.
Huang Xiaolong estimated that when he broke through to the Seventh-Order God King, he should be able to refine the fourth prohibition of the Netherworld King Jade.
Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong took out the Nine Yin Demon Mirror, a treasure of the Nine Yin Giant Corpse Clan he had previously obtained. Looking at this seemingly weightless Nine Yin Demon Mirror, Huang Xiaolong shook his head. Over the years, he had been researching how to refine it but to no avail. It seed, as the Golden Horned Little Bull had ntioned, that he needed to find the treasure of the Ancient Heavenly Court to succeed.
Once he found this treasure of the Ancient Heavenly Court and obtained the Ancient Heavenly Emperor’s mory, he should be able to refine the Nine Yin Demon Mirror.
Huang Xiaolong placed the Netherworld King Jade and the Nine Yin Demon Mirror together. Both emitted a faint, eerie glow. The Netherworld King Jade belonged to the Hell Master, and the Nine Yin Demon Mirror was the holy artifact of the Nine Yin Giant Corpse Clan; both belonged to the domain of darkness.
After a while, Huang Xiaolong’s token vibrated. Taking a look, it was from his master, Zhao Lei, summoning him over. Huang Xiaolong had no choice but to store the Netherworld King Jade and the Nine Yin Demon Mirror separately and then left the palace, heading towards his master Zhao Lei’s cave dwelling.
Upon arriving, Zhao Lei nagged a bit about things to be mindful of for the selection competition tomorrow. Huang Xiaolong listened patiently.
The day quickly passed.
Amid the anticipation of countless disciples from the Creation Emperor Palace, the sunlight gradually spread anew.
Huang Xiaolong followed his master Zhao Lei and, accompanied by his senior brother Chen Hao, headed towards the Supre Harmony Palace.
Generally, all sizes of competitions in the Creation Emperor Palace were held in the plaza in front of the Supre Harmony Palace, as was this ti.
When they arrived at the Supre Harmony Palace, many disciples had already gathered around the plaza, and even so elders and hall masters were present.
"Main Hall Master!"
When Huang Xiaolong and his master Zhao Lei arrived, the elders, hall masters, and disciples all saluted.
Zhao Lei nodded to everyone, then parted ways with Huang Xiaolong, taking his place on the stage as Huang Xiaolong, being a competing disciple, had to join the other contestants.
After entering the contestants’ area, Huang Xiaolong glanced over and spotted Li Lu and Turquoise Pool in the crowd at a distance, smiling and nodding at the two won.
"Ancestor Zhou Chen has arrived!" Suddenly, many disciples beca restless.
