Invincible Over the World

Although only Saint Heirs who possess an Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body can contend for the Holy Order and attain the Saint Realm, the higher their Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body are ranked, the greater their hope of becoming a Saint.

Take Jiang Tian, the current foremost Saint Heir of the Holy Sect: his talent is the best. Whether it’s his Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, or Holy Body, all are ranked in the one-hundred-something range.

With Jiang Tian’s Saint Heir talent, he has a twenty percent chance of breaking through to the Saint Realm and becoming a Saint.

If the Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body are ranked around one thousand, there isn’t even a ten percent chance; it’s barely around one percent.

If the Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body are ranked around two thousand, then the hope of breaking through to the Saint Realm is less than one in a hundred.

And with Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body ranked around three thousand, it’s less than one in a thousand.

As for someone like Huang Xiaolong, whose Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body are ranked over four thousand, he doesn’t even have a one-in-ten-thousand hope left.

In other words, Huang Xiaolong’s hope of attaining the Saint Realm is thousands of times harder than Jiang Tian’s.

Across the entire Holy World, in the countless Holy Lands and their endless hundreds of millions of years of history, among those whose Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body are ranked over four thousand, there has only ever been one person who managed to attain the Saint Realm!

One Holy World, countless Holy Lands, endless hundreds of millions of years, and only one person!

Which is to say, Huang Xiaolong’s future hope of attaining the Saint Realm is basically equal to zero.

Although Yang Jingzhi had already decided in his heart that Huang Xiaolong’s chance of becoming a Saint in the future was practically zero, when he saw Huang Xiaolong walk out of the formation, he still offered his congratulations: "Congratulations, Holy Son Huang Xiaolong, on passing the second assessment and test."

Du Gen, Hu Gengyi, and the others also stepped forward one after another to offer their congratulations.

Just as Du Gen, Hu Gengyi, and the others’ congratulatory voices were ringing out nonstop, an ill-tuned voice sounded: "Heh heh, Junior Brother Huang Xiaolong passed the second assessment and test, how joyous, how worth celebrating."

The voice carried a strange Yin-Yang tone.

Huang Xiaolong looked over and saw that the one walking in was precisely Huang Zhouping.

"We pay our respects to Holy Son Huang Zhouping!" Yang Jingzhi, Du Gen, and the others hurriedly bowed.

Huang Zhouping nodded, letting everyone rise, then smiled at Huang Xiaolong and said, "Junior Brother Huang Xiaolong’s Saint Heir talent truly exceeded my expectations. Rank 4,382 Mystic Dragon Saint Realm? Rank 4,361 Mad Dragon Saint Vein? Rank 4,243 True Dragon Sacred Body? This talent actually turned out higher than I’d imagined. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Higher than he’d imagined?

So originally, he’d expected Huang Xiaolong’s rankings to be even lower?

However, anyone could hear that Huang Zhouping’s congratulatory words were really just mocking Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t get angry; his expression stayed calm: "Since Brother Huang is done congratulating, you can leave now, can’t you? I wonder if Brother Huang has ever heard a certain saying, what was it again—oh, right: a good dog doesn’t block the road."

A good dog doesn’t block the road!

Everyone was stunned.

Huang Zhouping’s heart flared with rage. Huang Xiaolong actually dared to call him a dog!

Cold light burst from his eyes: "Huang Xiaolong, do you really think that just because you’re now a Saint Heir of the Holy Sect, with this identity I wouldn’t dare lay a hand on you? Wouldn’t dare teach you a lesson? Believe it or not, I’ll slap you into the ground right now and make you eat dog shit!"

Huang Xiaolong shrugged. "I’m just telling it like it is. You’re nothing more than a dog under Jiang Tian’s seat." Then he added, "And only a little dog under Jiang Tian’s seat."

"You!" Huang Zhouping jabbed a finger angrily at Huang Xiaolong.

However, just as Huang Zhouping was about to strike, the Main Hall Master Yang Jingzhi said from the side, "Holy Son Huang Zhouping, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking Holy Son Huang Xiaolong to the Main Hall now; the elders are still waiting."

Hearing this, Huang Zhouping finally stopped, glaring viciously at Huang Xiaolong and snarling, "Huang Xiaolong, do you dare make an appointment with me to battle on the Holy Platform?"

If there were conflicts between Saint Heirs, they were allowed to go up on the Holy Platform to settle them.

But both sides had to agree; one side couldn’t force the other.

Huang Xiaolong swept his gaze up and down Huang Zhouping: "You’re a Fourth-stage Supreme Middle Stage, and you’re actually the one actively calling out a Dominator Ninth Stage Middle Stage like me to an appointment battle. There’s something wrong with your brain, and it’s not a small problem."

Zhang Wenyue couldn’t help but let out a "pfft" laugh.

Although Du Gen, Hu Gengyi, and the others didn’t laugh out loud, they were holding it in with difficulty.

Huang Zhouping’s eyes brimmed with killing intent, sweeping out like a Storm in all directions.

"Fine, Huang Xiaolong, since that’s how it is, then I’ll seal away the vast majority of my strength and seal my Realm down to Dominator Ninth Stage Middle Stage, and then fight you!" Huang Zhouping forced down the killing intent in his heart, saying coldly, "Huang Xiaolong, do you dare accept the battle?"

"Well? Don’t tell me you still don’t dare accept? How about this: considering how trashy your Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body are, I’ll seal my Realm down to Dominator Ninth Stage Early Stage and fight you!"

Huang Zhouping looked down at Huang Xiaolong from on high. "Well?"

Huang Xiaolong’s face was indifferent. "Fine, I’ll accept. But there’s no need to seal down to Dominator Ninth Stage Early Stage; sealing down to Dominator Ninth Stage Middle Stage is enough, so that when you lose later you can’t say I bullied you. However, at that time I’d like to ask Main Hall Master Yang Jingzhi to personally seal your Realm."

Hearing that Huang Xiaolong accepted, Huang Zhouping was secretly delighted and sneered, "Good!" Then he added, "However, in a Holy Platform battle, accidental killing is hard to avoid, so I want to sign a Life and Death Battle Contract with you!"

As long as they signed a Life and Death Battle Contract, then even if he killed Huang Xiaolong on the Holy Platform later, the various elders wouldn’t be able to punish him.

"Fine!" Huang Xiaolong sneered.

"You two Holy Sons, please think this over carefully!" Main Hall Master Yang Jingzhi frowned and stepped forward to urge them.

Signing a Life and Death Battle Contract and going up onto the Holy Platform for a death battle was something that had never happened in the Holy Sect before.

But immediately afterward, Huang Zhouping took out the Life and Death Battle Contract, pricked his finger, signed his name in blood right then and there, and then tossed it to Huang Xiaolong.

In fact, he had prepared this Life and Death Battle Contract long ago. His very purpose in coming this time to coldly mock Huang Xiaolong was to force Huang Xiaolong into signing a Life and Death Battle Contract and going up on the Holy Platform!

Previously, Jiang Tian’s original plan had been to make a move against Huang Xiaolong during the new disciple trial, but he felt that wouldn’t be secure; afterward the elders would definitely investigate. So he and the Holy Alliance’s Saint Heirs came up with this plan.

As long as Huang Xiaolong signed the Life and Death Battle Contract, then on the Holy Platform later, even if Huang Zhouping beat Huang Xiaolong to death or crippled him, the elders would have nothing to say.

After all, this would be Huang Xiaolong bringing it on himself; he couldn’t blame anyone else.

Seeing Huang Zhouping toss the Life and Death Battle Contract to Huang Xiaolong, Yang Jingzhi urged Huang Xiaolong again: "Holy Son Huang Xiaolong, you absolutely must not!"

Even if Huang Zhouping sealed his Realm down to Dominator Ninth Stage Middle Stage, his Holy Form, Holy Veins, and Holy Body were still far higher than Huang Xiaolong’s. His Combat Power was much stronger than Huang Xiaolong’s. On top of that, Huang Zhouping had joined the Holy Sect Headquarters tens of thousands of years earlier and had long since cultivated the Holy Sect’s Holy Dao Skill. How could Huang Xiaolong possibly be his match?

If it went like that, Huang Xiaolong would be doomed without a doubt!

Du Gen and the people of Tian Niu Li Continent were all anxious.

Anyone could see that this appointment battle was obviously unfair to Huang Xiaolong.
