Invincible

1771-1780

Zhao Lei, Li Shan, Fang Xuanxuan, and the rest were just as astounded.

But Zhao Lei's booming laughter soon echoed over the plaza, "Haha, good, very good, so cool!"

Hearing Zhao Lei's laughter, the Nine Dragons Emperor Palace's group looked even more sullen.

"Huang Xiaolong, that kid just got lucky!" Gudu Nanming insisted, "He must have come across a herd of early First Order Heavenly Monarch Realm Heavenly Demons. He must have killed seven Heavenly Demons, followed by another seven!"

Chen Jianwei's expression eased slightly once more, and he even managed to squeeze out a smile in agreement, "That's right, that must be it."

Just as Chen Jianwei said that, Huang Xiaolong's name emitted another burst of light as it once again climbed up the rankings with additional 100 points!

Thirteenth!

Twelfth!

Eleventh, tenth, ninth, eighth, seventh, sixth...!

At last, Huang Xiaolong's ranking stopped in sixth place! Right below the Grandmist Emperor Palace's Li Junhua!

Li Junhua's current score was 2,200. It was merely a hundred points more than Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong's name shone like a radiant primordial star in the sixth place, sparkling magnificently. It was so bright that Gudu Wuyi, Chen Jianwei, and the rest were bedazzled.

"Si-sixth place!" Chen Jianwei stammered foolishly. Once more, he wanted to stress that Huang Xiaolong had run into more dog-shit luck, but the words were stuck in his mouth. His throat felt dry.

Almost every pair of eyes on the plaza stared fixedly at the name in the sixth place on the rankings board, including Zhao Lei, Fang Xuanxuan, and Li Shan.

"... This, Xiaolong wouldn't have really run into dog-shit luck, coming across a herd of early First Order Heavenly Monarch Realm Heavenly Demons, right?" Zhao Lei asked doubtfully. Fang Xuanxuan and Li Shan could hear him gulping. "Coincidentally, how could there be twenty-one Heavenly Demons in this herd?"

But Huang Xiaolong's name moved once again. Radiant rays of light burst like fireworks as his points climbed to 2,400!

2,400 points!

He had risen to the fifth place and surpassed Li Junhua!

Zhao Lei's breathing quickened.

The noisy plaza suddenly fell silent.

On the high stage, the Heavenly Court's marshals exchanged a silent gaze, and Yu Shi's face was particularly gloomy. Huang Xiaolong's outstanding performance so early into the competition was the herald of ominous events for Yu Shi, Brightness Emperor Palace, Solitude Emperor Palace, and Nine Dragons Emperor Palace.

The top one hundred disciples in the preliminaries could directly enter the top one thousand rankings in the subsequent round.

Not to mention the top ten disciples in the preliminaries would directly advance into the top one hundred in the next round!

In other words, as long as Huang Xiaolong maintained a spot within the top ten until the end of the preliminary round, his worst ranking would be the one-hundredth place!

The one-hundredth place received a shocking amount of spirit stones, spiritual herbs, and spiritual pills as a reward and also enjoyed the treatment equivalent to a Heavenly Court's general.

The more Yu Shi thought about it, the gloomier his expression became.

Inside the Heavenly Court Secret Region's particular valley, the Heavenly Prince Di Jing also noticed the movements in Huang Xiaolong's name on the rankings board. His brows creased into a deep frown as he muttered, "Three times, each time seven hundred points?"
