Against either one of them, Huwang Xiao couldn't even win for sure, but now he wanted both geniuses to attack him jointly?!
On the platform, Zhang Tianchuan was frowning. Still, he experienced that Huwang Xiao wasn’t a person that uttered arrogant words without the strength to back again it up. But, could Huwang Xiao really battle Gudu Leng and Wang Biaoyuan simultaneously?
Inwardly, Zhang Tianchuan shook his head.
While individuals were clamoring, Wang Biaoyuan’s fury soared after another of daze. Fury mingled with hate erupted just like a wrathful volcano.
“Huwang Xiao, you!” His rage uncontainable, eye red with fury as he roared, “You think because you defeated a measly early Second Order God World, that the first place is yours?! I’ll let you know now who’s the real outstanding genius, who is this assessment’s first place holder!” By the time his words were finished, the momentum coming from his body experienced reached the peak, muffled air blasts could be heard all around him.
Eye-piercing rays of aureate light shone from Wang Biaoyuan’s body, causing pain in everyone’s eyes.
“That is, i-is, late-Second Order God Realm?!”
“Oh God, Wang Biaoyuan isn’t a mid-Second Order God Realm, but a late-Second Order God World!”
In a matter of seconds, the crowd was stupefied by the Wang Biaoyuan’s display of strength, babbling incoherently.
A late-Second Order God Realm! His true power wasn’t like the rumors said whatsoever, a mid-Second Order God World, but a late-Second Order! Wang Biaoyuan actually concealed his true strength.
The crowd drowned in surprise and excitement. Even the calm and collected Gudu Leng sensed his eyelids spasms. Zhang Tianchuan was nearly agape at the sudden revelation. This time’s outer disciples evaluation brought too many surprises, each more shocking than the last.
In past assessments, one late-First Order God Realm disciple emerging was already big news and would have definitely been the first place winner without much suspense, but this time, Wang Biaoyuan was actually a late-Second Order God Realm!
“Peerless genius! Wang Biaoyuan’s talent is truly awe-inspiring. Didn’t he just break to early First Order God Realm 3 years ago? In three years he has climbed all the way to late-Second Order! So terrifying!”
“That’s right, this is what you call a superb peerless genius! It’s the end of the road for Huwang Xiao! I don’t believe he can beat a late-Second Order God World Wang Biaoyuan!”
Faces in the crowd flushed red with excitement, hands punching the air, for these were witnessing a miracle. A miracle nobody thought possible, a wonder of shattering the orders from early First Order God Realm to late-Second Order God World within 3 years!
No-one had ever boasted this level of cultivation speed!
Although Wang Biaoyuan was able to achieve this due to the pure metal essence he found, it was still a miracle regardless of the reason. A miracle!
From time immemorial, ever since the Black Warrior Institute was established, thirty million years back, never once had a late-Second Order God Realm outer disciple appeared in the assessment. But one got made an appearance now-Wang Biaoyuan!
Wang Biaoyuan exuded full pressure from his body without any intention of keeping back, he wanted to jar everyone, awe everyone. He wanted this ignorant punk Huwang Xiao to learn how foolish, idiotic, and ludicrous his words previously were!
‘Everyone, be astounded by me, awed by me personally!’
A radiant golden armor protected Wang Biaoyuan’s body, resembling a primordial war god. The Indestructible Vajra Physique’s bloodline power acquired fully awakened, exuding a razor-sharp indestructible aura that could pierce a hole in the sky.
“Huwang Xiao, if you kneel and beg for mercy now I could still leave you some face, so that your loss won’t be too unsightly. ” Wang Biaoyuan glared coldly at Huwang Xiao.
The crowd held their breaths.
Kneel and beg for mercy?! Leave you some face?!
This is blatant face-slapping in public.
Zhang Tianchuan’s brows were tightly scrunched together. No matter what, Huwang Xiao was still the Institute Principal’s personal disciple, Wang Biaoyuan actually desired him to get on his knees and beg? Wang Biaoyuan had forgotten himself, it seems. These super makes’ disciples needed to be given extra ‘care’ in the foreseeable future.
Ch.560
Unlike everyone else around him, Huwang Xiao appeared no different after Wang Biaoyuan’s display of power and might. A minuscule difference that proceeded to go undetected was the iciness that glazed over his pupils when Wang Biaoyuan told him to kneel and beg for mercy.
Kneel down and beg? Huwang Xiao sneered: “One move.”
One move?
All the gathered disciples were baffled by this word that arrived from Huwang Xiao’s mouth area, however when it finally dawned on them the meaning of Huwang Xiao’s words, the complete arena looked as though it was about to split into half from the crowd’s reaction.
“One move? Is this Huwang Xiao stating that he only needs one move to defeat Wang Biaoyuan?!”
“Damn, isn't he acting too brazen?! Do he damage his brain knocking against a door somewhere? Is he blind as well? Didn't he see Wang Biaoyuan’s late-Second Order God Realm strength right in front of him? He still feels he can make an impression on Wang Biaoyuan?! It’s already the greatest wonder if he can beat Wang Biaoyuan, forget doing it in a single move!”
“That’s right, if he really can defeat Wang Biaoyuan in one move, I’ll kill myself by slamming my mind against this Hidden Dragon Area.”
When Huwang Xiao said that Wang Biaoyuan wasn’t his opponent in the beginning, and instead ‘suggested’ both Wang Biaoyuan and Gudu Leng to join hands, the crowd was already indignant with Huwang Xiao’s arrogance. Huwang Xiao didn’t seem that pleasing to the eye anymore.
And now, Huwang Xiao’s exaggerated claim of defeating Wang Biaoyuan in a single move had completely drawn the crowd’s anger. This caused them to be in an extremely bad mood.
Some were enraged to the point of forgetting Huwang Xiao’s identity, shooting a ferocious glare at Huwang Xiao. Even those who experienced supported Huwang Xiao initially felt that Huwang Xiao’s arrogance had gone over the limit.
Zhang Tianchuan didn’t even hide his disappointment, shaking his head on the system. Indeed, this Huwang Xiao was an outstanding peerless genius, a talent worthy to be nurtured by their Dark Warrior Institute, but this little guy’s temperament needed a little bit more grinding.
Gudu Leng snorted in obvious contempt at Huwang Xiao’s words. Similar to everyone present, he too experienced that Huwang Xiao’s satisfaction had opted to his head. Did he believe that defeating both Xie Ning and Luo Kao, allowed him to swagger without fetters? Do he take Wang Biaoyuan for the likes of Xie Ning or Luo Kai?
Wang Biaoyuan was a true blue late-Second Order God World!
After breaking into Second Order God Realm, he understood more than the other disciples here what a late-Second Order God World meant. Even him, who successfully practiced the Gudu Family’s Solitary God’s Infinitude until the hundredth layer, possessing the reborn power, wasn’t confident in having the ability to beat Wang Biaoyuan. For completing that feat in one move, that was ludicrous, a joke, the words of the fool!
After blanking out for a second, Wang Biaoyuan pointed a finger at Huwang Xiao and broke out in wanton laughter. The laughter hid his indescribable fury. He wasn’t this freaking mad even though Huwang Xiao defeated him in public areas three years ago.
“Good, good!” Wang Biaoyuan’s eye were crimson like bloodstream, “Huwang Xiao, when you can really defeat me in a single move, I will kneel and beg for mercy before you! ” Not waiting around a moment longer, Wang Biaoyuan’s physique flew out, his fist aimed at Huwang Xiao.
In the air, his figure flickered within an unpredictable manner, leaving greater than a dozen afterimages in different locations, sometimes appearing, sometimes swerving away. From outside
the stage, Wang Biaoyuan looked like an illusory butterfly that included a horrifying murderous intent. An invisible energy rushed toward Huwang Xiao.
“That is the Flower Butterfly Dream Maneuver movement technique!”
“Flower Butterfly Illusion Maneuver motion technique?! If I’m right, this skill was created by Venerable Fantasy 100 thousand years ago and has disappeared for more than ten thousand years. It is said that this Blossom Butterfly Dream Maneuver movement technique is unstable, one can hardly defend against it. Could Wang Biaoyuan have found Venerable Fantasy’s immortal cave?!”
Those who noticed this exclaimed in surprise.
Just like the masses exclaimed, the power in Wang Biaoyuan’s fists exploded, striking at Huwang Xiao.
“Immovable Wisdom King’s Godking Fist!”
Fists whistled through the air, each shrouded in a scary ball of flames that rippled in space. At this point, Wang Biaoyuan’s fists were no more simple fists, more like catastrophic meteors dropping from the sky, carrying a tail of scorching flames and a terrifying power of destruction, exuding an aura that would destroy God if a God blocks, eliminate Buddha if Buddha blocks. Wang Biaoyuan’s only aim was to blast Huwang Xiao into a million pieces in one assault!
Zhang Tianchuan’s frown deepened as he watched from the platform. Should he intervene? If this hit, although Huwang Xiao wouldn’t die, he’d suffer grave injuries. How was he supposed to explain to the Institute Primary then? Furthermore, great harm was not allowed to fall on Huwang Xiao.
However, the guidelines prohibited anyone from interfering. As the overseer of this round’s assessment, if he was the one who broke the rules, then…?
While Zhang Tianchuan was caught in a dilemma, Wang Biaoyuan’s fists were only meters away from Huwang Xiao. As he got nearer to Huwang Xiao, a brutal light flickered in Wang Biaoyuan’s eyes, ‘Huwang Xiao, go DIE-!’
Viewing as Wang Biaoyuan’s fists were going to strike Huwang Xiao, suddenly a vast, overwhelming energy surged out vigorously from Huwang Xiao’s body. Before this influx of energy, the sky trembled as if it was about to collapse, the earth sinking in.
Everyone’s breaths were stuck in their chests, as though a great mountain was pressing down on them. Their souls trembled, an inexplicable intention to prostrate surfaced in their thoughts. Confusion, bewilderment, apprehension, all mixed into one.
Wang Biaoyuan’s face tightened.
Gudu Leng’s face tightened.
So did Zhang Tianchuan’s manifestation.
A layer of black scale armor covered Huwang Xiao’s body, two horns protruded from his forehead, the Wings of Demon spread majestically behind him as groups of blackish-red energy protected the whole Hidden Dragon Arena stage.
At this moment, Huwang Xiao moved. The Wings of Demon flapped, revealing the profound golden hellish symbols on their surface.
Wang Biaoyuan barely caught sight of a blurry dark shadow when two black fists grew bigger in his pupils. His eye widened in alarm, then, rumble! A sharp ear-splitting blast resounded, as if heaven and earth split into two. His Immovable Knowledge King’s Godking Fist collided with both black fists.
The high frequency stabbed at Wang Biaoyuan’s eardrums, and before he could react, an overwhelming, tyrannical power crashed against him such as a giant tidal wave. At this brief moment, he got a feeling that he was nothing more than a pebble that dropped into the huge sea.
That tyrannical power struck right at his chest. His body quivered badly, tumbling backwards. One moment he was bouncing off clouds, and in the next instant, his body slammed greatly on the floor. Wang Biaoyuan lost his consciousness at that point, sinking into oblivion.
Huwang Xiao landed gently back on the Hidden Dragon World, the stage groaned in protest. With Huwang Xiao’s feet as the center, cracks disseminate in all directions.
Even though Hidden Dragon Arena stage was built from extremely hard rock and roll kernel, it had a limit of endurance, it couldn't withstand the energy of the Third Order God Realm. Because, in regular external disciples evaluation, the most powerful would only possess the strength of a First Order God Realm, hence, from the Black Warrior Institute management’s perspective, no outer disciple could break the Hidden Dragon Arena that could withstand close to a Third Order God World master’s strength.
But now!
Dumbfounded!
Watching these events taking place, their dumbfounded brains were empty of anything else.
Wang Biaoyuan laid sprawled below the area, his clothes torn to rags which were drenched along with his blood. His Indestructible Vajra Physique acquired lost its use, his indestructible iron fists that everyone idolized were mangled to an unrecognizable degree. Even his bones seemed damaged.
Huwang Xiao stood on the stage, akin to a historical overlord, exuding an irrefutable dragon might and the chilling cold air of a death god.
“God-God, Second Order God Realm!” Gudu Leng stammered incoherently, his tongue twisted into a knot and his face was ash-gray.
This time, Huwang Xiao no longer hid his aura.
Second Order God World!
Everyone froze: they couldn't believe, struggling to believe, and dared not believe.
On the system, Zhang Tianchuan was trembling all over, one he knew if it was because of excitement or shock.
One move, it was indeed one move!
Still, only one move!
Ch.561
Disciples that raged satirical remarks at Huwang Xiao for his vain arrogance now was feeling like a large piece of stinky tofu was stuck in their throats. All their trend and unhappiness transformed into dread, astonishment, and shock.
Some disciples with lower power who stood near to the arena stage, the same ones who made the most noise and derisive remarks were now shaking uncontrollably.
If Wang Biaoyuan was a peerless genius for his breakthrough to late-Second Order from First Order God Realm within 3 years, then what was Huwang Xiao, who broke through to Second Order God World from half-step God Realm?!
In comparison to Huwang Xiao, Wang Biaoyuan’s ‘genius’ was worse than dregs. Complicated emotions rose in the hearts of disciples that were cheering excitedly for Wang Biaoyuan earlier.
In three years ah, from half-step God Realm to Second Order God Realm! Without drastic exaggeration, this had surpassed all great predecessors and there would be no other successors to this feat. No one present in the arena experienced ever heard of any genius of Dark Tortoise Galaxy breaking through from half-step God World to Second Order God Realm in a mere three years’ time. This speed was enough to scare others out of their minds.
Moreover, Huwang Xiao didn't appear like an average Second Order God Realm, being able to defeat the bigger realm Wang Biaoyuan, who also possessed the fabled Indestructible Vajra Entire body, with one hit. One could only imagine the terrifying level that Huwang Xiao’s strength had reached!
A light tap from his ft cracked the Hidden Dragon Arena stage, clear proof that Huwang Xiao’s strength was at least on par with another Order God World grasp! Who could say for certain whether it was early Third Order, mid-Third Order, or late Third Order God Realm!
Eventually, the interest once again returned to the unconscious figure sprawled on the ground like a dead dog. All of a sudden, the thought of Wang Biaoyuan informing Huwang Xiao to kneel and beg for mercy sensed so ironic. So naive, so presumptuous!
Wang Biaoyuan was only a jumping clown before Huwang Xiao. For Huwang Xiao, Wang Biaoyuan was no different from Xie Ning and Luo Kai.
“Anyone else desires to challenge?” Huwang Xiao stood on the stage with his hands behind his back again, his eyes sweeping over the rest of the eight top disciples, finally stopping on Gudu Leng.
Following the direction of his gaze, all eye whooshed onto Gudu Leng.
Gudu Leng’s face twitched, he neither moved nor spoke a word. Before the assessment began, he had assumed that by breaking to Second Order God World and having used the Solitary God’s Infinitude strategy
to the hundredth coating, defeating Huwang Xiao was merely the matter of a casual wave of his hand. Actually, he thought that one finger was more than sufficient to flatten Huwang Xiao to the ground.
Much like Wang Biaoyuan, Gudu Leng had naturally taken it for granted that he himself was the ultimate first place champ, whereas Huwang Xiao wasn’t qualified to compete with them.
But now…?!
To problem or not? That was the question.
Even a late Second Order God Realm Wang Biaoyuan was barely breathing after going for a hit from Huwang Xiao. If he went up, what could he do? In all honesty to himself, he wasn’t that much stronger than Wang Biaoyuan.
If he challenged Huwang Xiao, he most probably wouldn't end up much better than the current Wang Biaoyuan, being defeated in only one move!
Gudu Leng’s appearance grew sullen as these thoughts sped through his brain. In the final end, he took a deep breath and continued to be where he stood.
Watching Gudu Leng’s expression, it was clear to the group that he previously given up on the task. Some gasped, some shook their heads, and others broke into a noisy commotion.
The disciples who supported Gudu Leng were greatly disappointed. They had imagined the scene where Gudu Leng defeated Huwang Xiao, displaying overwhelming power, but a magic did not occur. Gudu Leng didn’t even have the guts to challenge!
Gudu Leng didn't problem, needless to say, Jiang Shaoze and the rest were even less inclined to challenge. In the long run, with no suspense, Huwang Xiao was declared this term’s external disciple assessment’s champion.
