The inner sect disciple froze for a split second, but he soon laughed as he answered Huang Xiaolong, âThere is hope but Hall Masters have extremely strict requirements when accepting personal disciples. Even if you manage to enter the top one hundred rankings, you must have at least a top emperor rank godhead to attract the eye of a Hall Master. Brother, you have a strong physique but your godhead rank slightly falls short of that requirement. Then again, if you could make it into the top one hundred rankings with your talent, then there might be a chance you would be accepted by a Grand Elder as personal disciple.â
Huang Xiaolong listened carefully with a calm face. He nodded his head then asked, âWhat if itâs the top ten?â
The inner sect disciple shook his head as he explained, âTop ten? To enter the top ten, you need at least the peak late-Tenth Order Ancestor God Realm strength. Let me tell you something, in this batch of disciples, there are over sixty disciples who have peak late-Tenth Order Ancestor God Realm strength. On top of that, there are also God King Realm disciples; among them one is an early First Order God King Realm disciple, and another is mid-First Order God King Realm.â
Even though the inner sect disciple did not spell it out, it was clear that he didnât think that Huang Xiaolong had any hope of entering the top ten rankings.
In his opinion, even though Huang Xiaolongâs True Dragon Physique was very powerful, at the most, Huang Xiaolongâs strength could rival a mid-Tenth Order or late-Tenth Order Ancestor God Realm disciple given the combination of his cultivation realm and True Dragon Physique.
If Huang Xiaolongâs luck was good, perhaps he could enter the top one hundred rankings.
âWhatâs the two God King Realm disciplesâ names? Which branch are they from?â Huang Xiaolong pretended to be shocked as he asked.
The inner sect disciple chuckled, âIn truth, these details cannot be revealed at this point, but since itâs Junior Brother Huang whoâs asking, Iâll reveal a little bit. One of them came from the Unparalleled branch, a disciple called Liu Qin, and the other one is Fu Feiyu, a disciple from the Eternal Zephyr World surfaceâs branch.â
Liu Qin, Fu Feiyu. Huang Xiaolong made a mental note of the two names.
âBut, Brother, how did you cultivate? You actually advanced to the early Tenth Order Ancestor God Realm in less than a thousand years!â The inner sect disciple sighed. âThis cultivation speed is comparable to a supreme godhead genius ah!â
The inner sect disciple and Huang Xiaolong chatted as they walked. Through their little chat, Huang Xiaolong learned that the inner sect disciple was called Luo Yun. Luo Yunâs Master was a Fortune Emperor Palace Elder, however, Luo Yunâs Masterâs status was not comparable to Elder Bai.
As Luo Yun had seen Huang Xiaolongâs future potential, he had not put on a superior attitude towards him, hence, they were able to chat amiably.
When Luo Yun and Huang Xiaolong were back in the outer hall, it looked as if they were best of friends.
Zhou Wen and the other disciples stopped talking when they saw Huang Xiaolong and the inner sect disciple walking out of the inner hall. Each of them was surprised seeing the amiable atmosphere between the two.
Once they were back in the Supreme Harmony Hallâs outer hall, Luo Yun immediately announced that Huang Xiaolong had passed the assessment. After that he inscribed Huang Xiaolongâs name and branch on the jade token and gave it to Huang Xiaolong as he reminded Huang Xiaolong, âJunior Brother Huang, take good care of this identity jade token. Half a year from now, this identity jade token will be used during the rankings competition.â
Huang Xiaolong smiled slightly and agreed, âUnderstood.â He received the identity jade token from Luo Yun and put it into his spatial ring for safekeeping. He then stepped away to make room for the purple-haired female disciple behind him.
Just as Huang Xiaolong was about to step out from the outer hall, loud gasps of astonishment rang behind him.
âWhat! Supreme rank godhead, sheâs actually a supreme godhead genius!â
âAnother supreme godhead disciple has appeared in our Fortune Emperor Palace!â
Huang Xiaolong was a little astonished after hearing these exclamations. He turned around and saw the testing stone emitting dazzling lights with the following words on its surface: âSupreme godhead, unknown ranking.â
The person being tested was none other than the purple-haired female disciple who was standing in the line behind Huang Xiaolong.
A light glimmered in Huang Xiaolongâs eyes as he watched her.
Luo Yun, the inner sect disciple in charge of the testing, soon recovered from his astonishment and scrambled off in a hurry to report the matter to Elder Bai. Elder Bai tore the fabric of space and arrived at the outer hall in a fraction of a second; euphoria and excitement were obvious on his face as he looked at the purple-haired female disciple.
Elder Bai went straight to the point this time, âYou, follow me to see the Hall Master right now.â With that said, he tore a hole in the void and swept away the purple-haired female disciple from right before everyoneâs eyes.
As she was a supreme godhead genius, the latter tests determining cultivation realm and bone-age were no longer important.
Zhou Wen and the others watched enviously. So did Luo Yun.
All of them knew that the purple-haired female disciple would soon alert the Fortune Emperor Palaceâs Emperor and Ancestors, and she would be taken as a personal disciple by the Emperor or one of the Ancestors.
What glory it was to become the Emperor or one of the Ancestorsâ personal disciple! That was equivalent to ascending to the heavens in a single leap.
âShe is Peng Xiao, from the Soaring branch.â
âIâve already noticed Junior Sister Peng Xiaoâs unique bearing, and sheâs actually a supreme godhead genius ah. I wonder which lucky man would be Junior Sister Peng Xiaoâs companion in the future.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhatâs Junior Sister Peng Xiaoâs identity? To be worthy of her favor, you would need to be a supreme godhead genius as well, so people like us canât even dream about it.â
The disciples in the outer hall chatted with enthusiasm.
Contrary to the excited disciples in the outer hall, Huang Xiaolong was calm and a bit indifferent as he turned and stepped out through the outer hall entrance.
Since he had passed the initial requirements, all he had to do now was to wait for the rankings competition that was going to take place in six months. For a second his thoughts wandered off, as he wondered about the form that would be used for conducting the rankings competition.
From what he had heard from Luo Yun so far, it didnât seem to be a stage battle competition, but it was certainly going to be related to the disciplesâ strengths.
Huang Xiaolong hadnât gone far from the outer hall when a blurry figure flickered and stopped right in front of Huang Xiaolong, blocking his path.
Huang Xiaolong looked at this person, and it was Zhou Wen.
âZhou Wen, do you need anything from me?â Huang Xiaolong asked flatly.
Zhou Wenâs gaze became a little sullen as Huang Xiaolong had directly used his name. His smile became sinister as he spoke, âHuang Xiaolong, is that right? Although I donât know what method you used for passing the testing stone assessment, I will make you understand why flowers are red during the rankings competition.â
Huang Xiaolong smiled calmly and asked, âDo you know why leaves are so green?â
Zhou Wen was stupefied for a split second then his face sank. âWhat do you want to say?â
Huang Xiaolong merely smiled, he sped off into the sky without another word to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wenâs hands clenched tightly as he watched Huang Xiaolong leave, and his surrounding temperature fell sharply, but he swiftly converged his emotions, remembering the Fortune Emperor Palaceâs rules.
âI will let you jump for a few more months because I am going to beat you up so badly during the rankings competition that you will be crying for your mommy.â Zhou Wen scoffed. He flew off as well. Inwardly, he was confident that he, a peak late-Tenth Order Ancestor God Realm could teach an early Tenth Order Ancestor God Realm Huang Xiaolong a memorable lesson.
Not long after Huang Xiaolong had left the Supreme Harmony Hall, Elder Bai had arrived at an enormous building with the purple-haired female disciple. They met with the Supreme Harmony Hallâs Hall Master Zhang Dong who was responsible for assessments and tasks.
Zhang Dong was extremely happy seeing the purple-haired female disciple Peng Xiao. He asked Peng Xiao questions with a wide smile on his face, and he was an epitome of an affable elder.
Just as Zhang Dong was about to lead Peng Xiao to see their Fortune Emperor Palaceâs Sect Chief and the Fortune Emperor, Elder Bai said suddenly, âHall Master, I have another matter to report. Itâs about another disciple called Huang Xiaolong.â
Peng Xiaoâs eyes glimmered with expectation as she heard Huang Xiaolongâs name.
âOh, Huang Xiaolong?â Zhang Dong looked at Elder Bai, waiting to hear Elder Baiâs report.
