Yang Mingwei stood under the stage for a long time, motionless. Even the commotion among the crowd could not attract his attention as he stared blankly at the Involved Bright King Gold Ring on his body.
The Gold Ring he trusted so much was very useless before Huang Xiaolong.
Until now, he still could not accept this reality.
Yang Mingwei's expression was like a dark and cloudy sky.
“This round, Huang Xiaolong wins!”Yang Mingwei regained consciousness when the master teacher announced the results. With a complicated face, he looked at Huang Xiaolong and said, “I admit I lost this time; next year's competition, however, I will definitely beat you!"
"Next year?”Huang Xiaolong repeated those words indifferently and shook his head.
Basing his cultivation speed ,...
Seeing Huang Xiaolong shake his head, Yang Mingwei misunderstood his meaning, thinking that Huang Xiaolong felt too disgusted to fight him again.
“Huang Xiaolong, what do you mean?”Yang Mingwei was furious.
Huang Xiaolong turned around and walked off the stage, “We will speak if you manage to enter the Second Year class next year."
Yang Mingwei was stunned by that answer as he stared at Huang Xiaolong's back.
Forward to Second Year class next year?!
Huang Xiaolong's words meant ...? Yang Mingwei's two eyes widened in shock as he realized the meaning behind them.
On the guest platform, King Lu Zhe was watching Huang Xiaolong and laughed lightly he said to Marshal Haotian, “Don't expect Huang Xiaolong to reach this level of strength! Completely out of my expectations."
"Yes, this one feels the same," Marshal Haotian smiled and agreed. He knew the Sovereign had broken through to the Sixth Order, but the strength Huang Xiaolong displayed earlier still shocked him.
Originally, he had thought that even if the Sovereign managed to win, it would happen after a difficult and intensive battle, but in reality, it was quite the opposite.
Honestly speaking, the ease with which Xiaolong defeated Yang Mingwei also surprised Fei Hou a little.
Not long after Huang Xiaolong defeated Yang Mingwei, the battle results of the other seven stages with the First Year battle also entered.
Since the next round had seven students, a strange number, one of the students was released and instantly qualified for the competition of the next round. This place, however, was not determined by the drawing stick but was decided by the Vice Principal, Xiong Chu.
And what Xiong Chu chose was Lu Kai.
Lu Kai was widely recognized by the students and teachers as the number one person of the First Year Academy, so there were no objections from the crowd about Xiong Chu's decision. And just like that, Lu Kai proceeded to the next round competition smoothly.
For his next round opponent, Huang Xiaolong drew stick number six.
Number six was First Six Year Hu Dong, and his strength was weaker compared to Yang Mingwei before - the peak of the Sixth Middle Order. Thus, there was no tension on the battle and the same scene repeated itself. Huang Xiaolong defeated Hu Dong easily.
Standing below the stage, Lu Kai silently watched the battle of Huang Xiaolong and Hu Dong, his face showing no thought.
The truth was that he was calm on the surface, but in his heart, a shockwave hit him, just like everyone present.
At first, his thoughts were similar to his father's; huang Xiaolong would have no chance to fight against him and would most likely be knocked out in the middle of the process. In reality, even Yang Mingwei was not Huang Xiaolong's opponent.
Deep down, Lu Kai felt tangled. Among the many princes in Luo Tong Kingdom, without a doubt, he had the highest talent of them all; thus, he was the one most loved by his father. Despite this, the talent he was very proud of shattered into nothing when compared to Huang Xiaolong.
On the other hand, Zhong Yuan who was standing behind Lu Kai, his facial expression became twisted watching Huang Xiaolong defeat Yang Mingwei and Hu Dong as if it was nothing.
It was unknown whether it was done intentionally or not, but the stick Huang Xiaolong drew was number three: a Third Grade student named Chen Qiang. Once again, Huang Xiaolong did not meet with Lu Kai.
However, Chen Qiang's strength was recognized by the collective First Years, and he was the number two student after Lu Kai, the peak of the Sixth Order. Like Yang Mingwei, Chen Qiang also had a tenth-grade beast-type martial spirit, the Longarm Water Ape.
Although Chen Qiang was much stronger than Yang Mingwei, he ended up losing to Huang Xiaolong like his previous opponent, without unleashing his martial spirit even once.
Seeing Chen Qiang lose to Huang Xiaolong, the people around the stage were dumbfounded.
In the end, it was down to the final round between Lu Kai and Huang Xiaolong fighting for first place among Year One!
No one imagined that this would happen; it was Huang Xiaolong who would become the competition for Lu Kai to clinch the title. Before today, the new and older students had talked about this, and everyone agreed at that time that Chen Qiang would take the stage against Lu Kai.
But now, it was the new student, Huang Xiaolong, who was standing there instead.
Two people stood on the stage, measuring each other. Both are silent and do not speak.
Under the stage, a tense silhouette as silence filled the place.
Li Lu looked at Huang Xiaolong and Lu Kai on the stage and his little hands clenched nervously, a thin layer of sweat on his palms.
"You surprised me.”Finally, Lu Kai spoke and cut a thick silence. “But, you must realize that you cannot win me! Just give up and give up!"
Hearing Lu Kai's words, Huang Xiaolong calmly replied, “Just now, Yang Mingwei said the same to me."
In the end, Yang Mingwei lost a landslide!
Lu Kai heard the hidden meaning of Huang Xiaolong's words and was not angry; instead, he smiled sadly saying, "However, I am not Yang Mingwei!”And his battle qi broke out with full force, without any restraint. Energies stronger than Yang Mingwei and Chen Qiang were swept out of Lu Kai's body.
“Seventh Success! Prince Lu Kai had actually broken through to the Seventh Order!"
“Based on the strength of Prince Lu Kai, the first place of the First Year competition is already in his hands. How could Huang Xiaolong win against Prince Lu Kai in this situation?!"
“If I see the power of the Seventh Order Prince Lu Kai, I have already raised my hand to surrender! This Huang Xiaolong actually dared to stand on stage - too confident. A stubborn persistence to save face!"
Below the stage, many discussions were taking place.
Of course, those who were jealous of Huang Xiaolong could not help but ridicule Huang Xiaolong, their voices full of sarcasm.
Huang Xiaolong's expression remained the same as those ugly words entered his ears, looking at Lu Kai on the opposite side: Seventh Order? This was in line with Huang Xiaolong's expectations so Lu Kai revealed the strength of the Seventh Order was not surprising.
"How's that? Do you still want to fight?”Lu Kai looked at Huang Xiaolong.
“Move.”Huang Xiaolong's calm voice sounded, unhurried.
Lu Kai did not expect to get such an answer and was surprised; knowing that he was a Seventh Order, Huang Xiaolong still dared to go against him? He knew Huang Xiaolong was indeed powerful, but he and everyone present could see that he was only a peak of the Sixth Order.
The Seventh Order is the dividing line. No matter how strong a Sixth Order warrior was, it was impossible for them to win against the Seventh Order. This is an established fact.
Could it be that this Huang Xiaolong wanted to use his Sixth Order power to destroy this fact?
Lu Kai looked at Huang Xiaolong and nodded his head a few seconds later, "Since you are unwilling to give up, then I will personally make you.”After he said that, Lu Kai released a martial spirit from his body.
