But, just as Huang Xiaolong left his Yard No.1, he ran into a group of inner disciples, and the person leading them was none other than Jiang Bi. Behind Jiang Bi were Li Dufeng and a dozen other inner disciples.
When Jiang Bi spotted Huang Xiaolong, his eyes narrowed all of a sudden.
âHuang Xiaolong.â Jiang Bi spoke in a slow and deliberate tone.
Huang Xiaolong was more casual and relaxed, âJiang Bi.â
A fire burned in Jiang Biâs heart seeing Huang Xiaolongâs nonchalant attitude in facing him, causing him to snap, âHuang Xiaolong, later on the Rising Dragon Arena, I will make you understand that in my eyes youâre just a tethered horse prancing about. No matter how you jump, youâre but a horse. Wait till I break your legs, letâs see how youâre going to jump then!â
Huang Xiaolong snorted, âTo me, youâre not even a horse, because in my eyes, you are nothing!â
âWhat?! Huang Xiaolong, donât act so arrogant!â
âOur Senior Brother Jiang Bi needs only ten moves to take your life! No, not even ten moves!â
The inner disciples standing behind Jiang Bi shouted loudly, their faces twisted in anger. Jiang Biâs eyes were spitting fire, glowering at Huang Xiaolong with unconcealed rage.
Li Dufeng spoke up at this time, âHuang Xiaolong, Iâm not afraid to tell you honestly, Brother Jiang Bi found the legendary ancient Supreme Heavenly Ghostâs âHeavenly Ghost Recordâ. Now heâs a dual cultivator of Buddhism and Ghost techniques, allowing his strength to soar to unimaginable heights, definitely not something you can resist! If you know whatâs good for you, apologize to Big brother Jiang Bi right now. For the sake of the Institute Principal, Big brother Jiang Bi will leave you some face on the Rising Dragon Arena!â
âThatâs right, Senior Brother Jiang Biâs strength is not something you can imagine!â The others joined in the clamor.
Jiang Bi stood without saying anything, merely looking coldly at Huang Xiaolong as if waiting for Huang Xiaolongâs decision.
Huang Xiaolong didnât mind at all, âIf thatâs how you want to play, then on the Rising Dragon Arena, Iâll break your two legs before throwing you off the stage.â
âYou!â Jiang Bi was stunned, anger erupted in his eyes.
In fact, he had been waiting for Huang Xiaolong to come over and apologize, but who would have thought that Huang Xiaolong was so outrageous, declaring that he would throw him off the Rising Dragon Arena after breaking both of his legs!
âGood! Huang Xiaolong, just you wait!â Jiang Bi forcefully repressed the boiling anger in his heart, signaling the group of inner disciples with a wave of his hand: âLetâs go!â
Watching Jiang Bi, Li Dufeng, and their followers fly away, Huang Xiaolong sneered. Jiang Bi truly wasnât anything at all for the current him, moreover, he had never placed any importance on Jiang Bi. For Huang Xiaolong, his only opponent this time was that Xiang Mingzhi.
A short while later, Huang Xiaolong arrived at his Masterâs manor.
At that time, his Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother Liu Yun, Second Apprentice-brother Chen Yang, and Third Apprentice-sister Qi Wen were already there. Other than the three of them, there were also Grand Elder Chan Yu, Bao Xinrui, Elder Zhang Tianchuan, as well as other Grand Elders and Elders.
The instant Huang Xiaolong appeared in the main hall, all eyes turned to him, each of them with their own thoughts underneath their calm surface.
Feng Yanâs lips parted as if there were many things he wanted to say, but in the end, only two words were uttered: âLetâs go.â Leading everyone out of the main hall, they flew toward the Rising Dragon Arena.
âJunior Apprentice-brother, I heard that Jiang Bi is cultivating both Buddhism and Ghost techniques, and that his strength is not what it used to be.â Halfway, Eldest Apprentice-brother Liu Yun drew closer to Huang Xiaolong, speaking in low whispers, âAre you confident against him?â
Everyoneâs ears perked up.
âProbably.â Huang Xiaolong smiled naturally.
âProbably?â Liu Yun observed Huang Xiaolong with a suspicious eye, âWhatâs the probability of you winning?â
âAbout sixty percent.â Huang Xiaolong pondered before answering. In fact, he merely needed one move to deal with that Jiang Bi.
âSixty percent is good.â If Huang Xiaolong was victorious over Jiang Bi, losing to Xiang Mingzhi later would not make things look too bad.
After all, everyone knew that Huang Xiaolong had only cultivated for a short time. Being able to defeat Jiang Bi and snatch the title of Black Warrior Instituteâs inner disciplesâ leader was already shocking enough.
However, Grand Elder Chan Yu, Bao Xinrui, and some of the others didnât really take Huang Xiaolongâs words at face value, doubt persisted in their hearts, thinking that Huang Xiaolong said âsixty percentâ just to save his own face.
They had heard about Jiang Biâs current cultivation strengthâlate-Fourth Order God Realm.
Five years ago, Huang Xiaolong was only a Second Order God Realm. Five years later, could Huang Xiaolong defeat Jiang Bi who was a late-Fourth Order God Realm possessing the Golden Buddha Arhat Physique?
Different from the rest, Feng Yangâs eyes lit up when he heard Huang Xiaolong say that he had a sixty percent chance of defeating Jiang Bi. This fourth discipleâs character, Feng Yang knew better than anyone here, he would not exaggerate things on purpose. Since he said there was a sixty percent chance, then it shouldnât be any less.
âDo your best.â Feng Yang encouraged.
âYes, Master.â Huang Xiaolong acknowledged respectfully.
Shortly after, their group arrived at the Rising Dragon Arena. The Rising Dragon Arena and the Hidden Dragon Arena were both located on mountain peaks. The top of this peak was also cut off, creating a flat area with the Rising Dragon Arena built at the center. The viewing stands were constructed outside the stage perimeter. At the moment, these viewing stands were already filled with masters from super forces and families, and below the high viewing stands, the seats were packed with Black Warrior Institute disciples.
The arrival of Huang Xiaolongâs group instantly created a commotion in the arena, heads quickly turned in their direction.
âThe black-haired kid beside the Black Warrior Institute Principal is that Huang Xiaolong?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âEver since the Black Warrior Instituteâs disciple selection until the outer disciplesâ assessment, Huang Xiaolong has yet to be defeated even once, winning the first place every time. This time, will he be able to keep his undefeated record?â
âUndefeated? I heard some rumors circulating saying that Jiang Bu now cultivates in dual Buddhism and Ghost techniques and even broke through to late-Fourth Order God Realm. That Huang Xiaolong is fated to be defeated tragically this time, not to mention the fact that thereâs also Xiang Mingzhi.â
The various forcesâ masters spoke in low hushed voices, and although it couldnât be considered loud, it did not escape many of the God Realm masters in the arena, causing Black Warrior Institute Grand Elder Bao Xinrui and the othersâ faces to darken slightly.
Huang Xiaolong, on the other hand, was calm as he followed behind his Master Feng Yang to the host viewing stand.
On the host viewing stand, Vice-Institute Principal Wang Na, and the other two Vice Institute Principals, Su Haodong and Li Zhiqun, as well as some Grand Elders and Elders who were in Wang Naâs faction had arrived earlier.
âInstitute Principal!â Seeing Feng Yang, all stood up to salute. Despite being wholeheartedly unwilling, Wang Na could only stand and salute like everyone else.
Feng Yang nodded, his gaze sweeping over them and then took his seat in the main host seat. After him, Wang Na, Su Haodong, Li Zhiqun, Grand Elders like Chan Yu, Bao Xinrui, as well as the Elders took their seats.
âHuang Xiaolong, as the Institute Principalâs personal disciple, you must show a good performance on the Rising Dragon Arena later. You must absolutely not lose too uglily! Out Black Warrior Institute has always been impartial towards rewards and punishment, victorious disciples will be rewarded, and just the same, defeated disciples will be punished!â As she sat down, Wang Na directed at Huang Xiaolong in a lofty tone.
âPunish?â Feng Yang issued a cold harrumph, âOld witch, since when does my, Feng Yangâs, personal disciple need you to lord over him? Watch over your lower part well first!â
Wang Na having illicit affair with the Jiang Familyâs Patriarch Jiang Wuhuang was an open secret.
Hearing these words coming out from the Institute Principalâs mouth, everyoneâs expression was a scene to behold.
Liu Yun failed to control his laughter and ended up laughing loudly together with Huang Xiaolong. Their Master was indeed uniquely valiant, actually telling Wang Na to take care of her lower part in public!
Wang Na was furious: âYou!â The murderous light in her eyes exploded, her face flushed a deep red from anger.
âWhat? Do you want to fight me?â Feng Yang totally ignored the other sideâs fury, grinning complacently, âNo problem, wait till the inner disciplesâ assessment is over, Iâll play with you for a while on the stage. But, you alone are not my opponent, remember to call your adulterous partner as well.â
Adulterous partner, of course, referred to Jiang Wuhuang.
Wang Na nearly vomited blood then and there due to anger, no longer concealing the killing intent in her eyes.
