Invincible Over the World

Seeing Main Hall Master Yang Jingzhi trying to dissuade Huang Xiaolong and disrupt his good plan, Huang Zhouping couldn’t help but say, "Yang Sect Master, this is a matter between the Saints, do you still dare to interfere?"

According to the rules of the Holy Sect, not even the Main Hall Master can interfere in matters between the Saints; if one intervenes, they will also be held accountable.

"I do not dare," Yang Jingzhi said solemnly.

"You do not dare? That’s good!" Huang Zhouping turned to Huang Xiaolong with a cold smile, "Huang Xiaolong, what’s wrong, are you going to be a coward? Indeed, with the talent of a waste saint like you, you are bound to lose, so how could you dare to accept the challenge? I think you should be called the Shrinking Saint Son in the future!"

Huang Xiaolong suddenly smiled wickedly, "Since I said I would accept the challenge, I will accept it, why are you in such a rush?" After speaking, he signed his name with a drop of blood.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong finally sign with blood, Huang Zhouping sighed in relief.

"Yang Jingzhi, please witness what just happened for the sake of fairness. This Life and Death Battle Contract will be entrusted to you for safekeeping." Huang Zhouping threw the contract to Yang Jingzhi, looking righteously.

"This!" Yang Jingzhi hesitated for a moment while holding the contract, and then nodded, "Very well."

He looked at Huang Xiaolong and sighed inwardly.

Huang Xiaolong and Huang Zhouping set the time for the Holy Platform battle to one year later, to be held after Huang Xiaolong returns from his new trials.

Huang Zhouping left through the air.

"Holy Son Huang Xiaolong, you shouldn’t have agreed to a life-and-death battle on the Holy Platform with Huang Zhouping," said Du Gen, the continent master of Heavenly Bull Power Continent, unable to hold back as Huang Zhouping left.

"Indeed, Huang Zhouping’s Elephant Power Saint Realm is ranked at three thousand nine hundred and sixty-five, and his holy veins and holy body are not much lacking," Yang Jingzhi said, "Even if he seals his realm to Dominator Ninth Stage Middle Stage, his combat power far exceeds yours."

Moreover, Huang Zhouping joined the Holy Sect headquarters tens of thousands of years earlier than Huang Xiaolong. Over these years, Huang Zhouping’s Holy Dao skill has been fully developed.

Zhang Wenyue and the others also looked worried.

Huang Xiaolong smiled calmly, "It’s fine." Then, jokingly to Yang Jingzhi, "When I kill Huang Zhouping at that time, I’ll share half of the treasures from his body with you, Main Hall Master Yang Jingzhi."

Seeing Huang Xiaolong still in the mood to joke, Yang Jingzhi shook his head speechlessly.

"Holy Son Huang Xiaolong, shall we proceed to the main hall now?" Yang Jingzhi inquired.

After passing the second exam of the new Holy Son selection, they all had to worship the Saint Statue at the main hall and then choose an elder as their mentor.

"Okay, let’s go." Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Then, Huang Xiaolong asked Zhang Wenyue and the others to return to the palace and wait for him, and he and Yang Jingzhi headed for the main hall.

The main hall was far away, so Huang Xiaolong and Yang Jingtian took a spaceship directly there.

At this time, in the main hall of the Holy Sect Headquarters, thirteen elders of varying builds were sitting cross-legged. These elders, dressed in the war robes of the Holy Sect elders, were the thirteen elders of the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect.

All thirteen elders of the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect were assembled.

The birth of a new Saint Son was a major event for the Holy Sect, so these elders, who rarely appeared, had all emerged.

"This Huang Xiaolong is too impulsive!" The silver-haired old man sitting on the central throne shook his head and said.

This silver-haired elder was the head of the thirteen elders of the Holy Sect, named Li Wen.

He had just received Yang Jingzhi’s report.

The duel between the two Saint Sons on the Holy Platform, and it being a life-and-death challenge, had to be reported by Yang Jingzhi to Li Wen.

Now, with Wan Zhuoyuan, the Holy Sect Master, absent, the matters of the Holy Sect were generally decided by Li Wen.

Li Wen passed Yang Jingzhi’s token report to the other elders for review, and after looking through it, all the elders frowned.

"This life-and-death battle on the Holy Platform is obviously a trap set by the Holy Alliance," said Elder Chen Shiming, seated right below Li Wen, with a cold voice, "What is the Holy Alliance trying to do? They are being too presumptuous, actually attempting to murder the new Saint Son!"

The Holy Alliance had grown strong and increasingly rampant in the past few hundred years, leading many elders to dislike Jiang Tian and the Holy Alliance. Elder Chen Shiming was one of those who were against the Holy Alliance.

"Hm, that’s not quite right. This was Huang Xiaolong himself who voluntarily signed the Life and Death Battle Contract and volunteered to ascend to the Holy Platform. No one forced him," said another elder, Xu Jun, coldly, "He’s courting death himself and can’t blame anyone else, how is it related to the Holy Alliance? I say, if the foolish and useless Huang Xiaolong Saint Son dies, so be it, preventing future troubles for our Zhuoyuan Saint Sect by provoking other Holy Sects!"

Although Jiang Tian and the Holy Alliance acted rampantly, Jiang Tian was the leader of the Holy Sect’s Saints, with the best talent and the most potential to break through to the Saint Realm. Thus, many elders still supported Jiang Tian.

Xu Jun was one of the elders who supported Jiang Tian and the Holy Alliance.

"That’s not quite right. Although Huang Xiaolong’s talent is not high among the Saints, every Saint Son is a core, a hope of our Holy Sect," another elder, Song Yi, shook her head, "The loss of any Saint Son is a great loss for our Holy Sect."

"Moreover, if Huang Xiaolong is killed by Huang Zhouping due to the Holy Platform’s life-and-death challenge, such news might bring ridicule from other Holy Sects."

Song Yi was one of the two female elders among the thirteen elders. She was neither supportive nor averse to the Holy Alliance and remained neutral, prioritizing the interests of the Holy Sect.

The Holy Sect’s elders were divided into three small groups, one supporting the Holy Alliance, one opposing it, and one remaining neutral.

"Be that as it may, Huang Xiaolong has already signed the Life and Death Battle Contract, and even as elders of the Holy Sect, we have no authority to alter it," Elder Bai Xuyang shook his head and said.

He, like Song Yi, maintained a neutral stance.

Amidst the heated discussion among the elders, Yang Jingzhi brought Huang Xiaolong to the main hall.

Upon entering the main hall, Huang Xiaolong could clearly feel the differing gazes from the elders: some cold, some pitying, some reproachful, some indifferent.

Starting with Li Wen, Yang Jingzhi introduced the thirteen elders to Huang Xiaolong one by one. Huang Xiaolong greeted each of the elders, the attitudes of those who were neutral or opposed to the Holy Alliance remained cordial. As for Xu Jun and others who supported the Holy Alliance, their faces were stone-cold, or they gazed up, ignoring Huang Xiaolong completely.

Huang Xiaolong did not mind.

After greeting the elders, it was time to worship the Saint Statue.

The Saint Statue was of Wan Zhuoyuan.

Although Wan Zhuoyuan was undergoing reincarnation and re-cultivation, his appearance was not much different from his previous life. As he looked at the familiar face of the Saint Statue before him, Huang Xiaolong contemplated having to find a way to obtain the treasure left by Wan Zhuoyuan as soon as possible and break through to the Supreme Realm first.

After worshiping the Saint Statue, the next step was for Huang Xiaolong to choose an elder as his mentor.

Huang Xiaolong chose Elder Sun Shangyi.

Because Sun Shangyi opposed the Holy Alliance and also had a Dragon Type Saint Realm.

However, Elder Sun Shangyi looked troubled when Huang Xiaolong chose to apprentice under him, "This Holy Son Huang Xiaolong, I have been focused on cultivation for many billion years without accepting disciples and haven’t had time to teach. Perhaps you should choose another elder?"

Huang Xiaolong frowned slightly; this excuse of not accepting disciples for billions of years and not having time to teach was obviously just an excuse. Clearly, Sun Shangyi did not want to accept him as a disciple.

Understanding Elder Sun Shangyi’s refusal to take him as a disciple, Huang Xiaolong quickly understood the reason. Due to the life-and-death challenge on the Holy Platform with Huang Zhouping, if he were to be killed by a strike from Huang Zhouping, it would become a laughing stock to be the master of Huang Xiaolong.

Imagine a new Saint Son of the Holy Sect, being killed less than two years after entering the Holy Sect; wouldn’t that be a joke? And their mentor would clearly also be considered a fool for accepting such a foolish disciple.
