CHAPTER 1252: CHAPTER 1245: SHOWDOWN WITH YOU WUXIN

Xuanbing Ancestor was at a loss for words for a moment.

"If he wins first place in this entry disciple battle, I’ll request the Sect Leader to enhance his treatment without needing you to say it!" After a pause, Xuanbing Ancestor said coldly.

Jin Mei and Blood Blade frowned.

Winning first place in this entry disciple battle?

Everyone knows that Wangu Ziyi is the sure winner for the first place in this entry disciple battle, without dispute. For Xuanbing Ancestor to let Huang Xiaolong take first place is obviously impossible.

Seeing Jin Mei and Blood Blade at a loss for words, Xuanbing Ancestor felt a relief in her heart.

At this moment, she recalled the time in the Creation God Country when Huang Xiaolong made a breakthrough into the Ancient God, where she lost a bet to Blood Blade. That time, Blood Blade selected her treasured Mysterious Ice Battle Armor from her Xuan Bing Treasure Vault, which had been a source of heartache ever since.

That Mysterious Ice Battle Armor was something she had crafted from countless chaotic materials, taking nearly a hundred thousand years to complete. Moreover, to craft this armor, she had invited Artifact Refiners of Ancestor God and above realms, costing her over a thousand trillion!

A thousand trillion!

"Blood Blade, I lost to you last time when Huang Xiaolong broke through to the Ancient God. How about we make another bet this time?" Xuanbing Ancestor proposed, "If Huang Xiaolong wins first place, you can choose anything from my Xuan Bing Treasure Vault. But if you lose, I want that Mysterious Ice Battle Armor back, and your Spirit Blood Pond!"

Xuanbing Ancestor stared piercingly at Blood Blade Ancestor.

Blood Blade Ancestor didn’t even think before responding, "No bet!"

Anyone would know that Huang Xiaolong couldn’t possibly win first place in this entry disciple battle. Betting on that would mean his brain got kicked by a horse!

"Two items?" Xuanbing Ancestor said reluctantly.

Blood Blade Ancestor shook his head, unmoved.

In the end, even when Xuanbing Ancestor increased the wager to four items, Blood Blade Ancestor still shook his head and refused.

At this moment, Wang Shi announced Huang Xiaolong’s victory in the first match, and Huang Xiaolong returned to the platform.

Jin Mei, Blood Blade, Heavenly Sword, and Wan Yan couldn’t help but offer words of encouragement to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong stood back beside Li Lu and secretly held her small hand.

Li Lu blushed and, pretending to be annoyed, gave Huang Xiaolong a look, withdrawing her hand.

Following this, the second, third, and fourth matches proceeded methodically, and soon, the first round of twenty matches concluded, with Huang Xiaolong, Zhou Xu, Tan Lin, Luo Yunjie, Wu Qianer, and Guo Yuanhui advancing into the top twenty.

The Eternal Ancient Continent also had six, the Dark Spirit Continent five, and the Primordial Essence Continent fewer, with only three.

Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong and the other nineteen returned to the stage to draw lots for the second round.

This time, Huang Xiaolong didn’t draw number one, but rather number two.

Number two? Huang Xiaolong quickly scanned the lot numbers in other disciples’ hands and discovered that the other number two was held by You Wuxin from Dark Spirit Continent!

Wangu Ziyi, You Wuxin, Huang Xiaolong were all people of interest, so when Huang Xiaolong and You Wuxin both drew number two, everyone was agitated.

"In this second round, Huang Xiaolong is up against You Wuxin, first versus first; this is truly thrilling!"

"Huang Xiaolong is formidable, but against You Wuxin, he’s likely to lose. It’s said that You Wuxin went through hellish training in the Demon Land of the Dark Spirit Clan’s Ghost Prison City. Half a year ago, he was already at Fourth-stage Late Stage Peak of the Ancient God, and he acquired the Ghost King Inheritance of Ghost Prison City!"

"That’s not necessarily true; Huang Xiaolong’s Primordial Dragon Divine Body is extremely strong!"

"Huang Xiaolong’s Primordial Dragon Divine Body is indeed impressive, but You Wuxin has cultivated the Ghost Prison Ghost Body, which isn’t much weaker than Huang Xiaolong’s Primordial Dragon Divine Body!"

Even though it wasn’t yet time for Huang Xiaolong and You Wuxin to compete, the audience was already abuzz.

On the platform, Jin Mei, Blood Blade, Heavenly Sword, and Wan Yan all frowned.

In this second round, Huang Xiaolong actually encountered You Wuxin?

Like other powerful figures, they felt that while Huang Xiaolong was strong, he still fell short compared to You Wuxin.

If that was the case, wouldn’t Huang Xiaolong not even make it into the top ten?!

"We need to look into this matter," Jin Mei said in a serious tone.

In the first round, Huang Xiaolong met Gu Jianan, and in the second, he drew You Wuxin!

Both Gu Jianan and You Wuxin are exceedingly powerful and are first from the Primordial Essence Continent and the Dark Spirit Continent respectively.

Things seemed too coincidental!

Blood Blade, Heavenly Sword, Wan Yan understood Jin Mei’s implication, suggesting that Wang Shi might have manipulated the draw? Heavenly Sword pondered, "Wang Shi is part of our Creation Gate, would he really do such a thing?"

Wan Yan Ancestor also found it unlikely.

Xuanbing Ancestor chimed in, "Although Wang Shi is hosting, the draw was made by Huang Xiaolong himself. It can only be said that Huang Xiaolong had bad luck; it has nothing to do with Wang Shi."

In fact, she was secretly delighted that Huang Xiaolong drew You Wuxin for the second round.

Of course, in front of Jin Mei, Blood Blade, and the others, she didn’t show too much joy.

"We’ll know once we investigate," Jin Mei said with an indifferent expression.

The first match of the second round featured Zhou Xu against a Wangu Clan disciple named Wangu Chang.

Huang Xiaolong and the others retreated to the platform, leaving only Zhou Xu and Wangu Chang on the stage.

Back on the platform, while waiting, Blood Blade Ancestor encouraged Huang Xiaolong, "Facing You Wuxin, don’t lose heart or be disheartened. Just give it your all when the time comes."

Jin Mei added, "Utilize the advantage of your Primordial Dragon Divine Body in close combat with You Wuxin; perhaps you can fight to a draw!"

Huang Xiaolong gave a wry smile.

Discouraged and disheartened? It seemed he wasn’t feeling that way, was he?

"Yes, don’t worry, Master. At that time, I will surely give it my all." Huang Xiaolong could only reply. Since that’s the case, should he give it his all then?

Beside him, Li Lu also squeezed Huang Xiaolong’s hand, her beautiful eyes filled with concern.

Huang Xiaolong smiled, giving her a reassuring look.

Suddenly, the crowd gasped.

On the stage, Zhou Xu and Wangu Chang began to fight. Zhou Xu’s presence was immense, and behind him, an Azure Dragon appeared, launching a fierce attack at the opponent. As the Azure Dragon attacked, countless Sword Qi burst forth from within, instantly forcing the Late Stage Ancient God Third Rank Wangu Chang to retreat continuously, in an extremely awkward state.

"Good!" Xuanbing Ancestor nodded with a smile, "Zhou Xu is truly our Creation Gate’s emperor-level genius. He has already broken through to the Ancient God Fourth Stage! This is the Azure Dragon Sword Qi he created after merging with the Heavenly Sword Sword Qi, and its power is indeed unparalleled!"

Heavenly Sword Ancestor laughed, "Zhou Xu has a high comprehension of swordsmanship."

Zhou Xu was his disciple, and his excellent performance brought him face.

Soon, Wangu Chang was struck by Zhou Xu’s Azure Dragon Sword Qi, falling off the stage as Zhou Xu easily won the match, taking only six moves.

Amidst the cheers, Zhou Xu returned to the platform, casting a glance at Huang Xiaolong, his eyes hiding his inner pride and challenge.

Huang Xiaolong maintained an indifferent expression, flying down, and landed almost simultaneously with You Wuxin in the center of the stage.

Everyone fell silent. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to visit qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
