Invincible Over the World-Chapter 59 Taking Huang Xiaolong as a Disciple

59 -59: Taking Huang Xiaolong as a Disciple?
Huang Xiaolong looked at Xiong Mei Qi with a cold voice, “You didn’t forget the bet from the newcomer test, did you?”
Xiong Mei Qi’s body trembled, her eyes panicked, not daring to meet Huang Xiaolong’s gaze, as her pretty face turned pale.
A bet?
Just as Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu wore puzzled expressions, suddenly, the pale-faced Xiong Mei Qi knelt down in front of everyone, right there on the plaza ground, and then opened her cherry lips, “Woof!
Woof!
Woof!” She barked three times in a row.
Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu, among others, were stunned.
As Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu, among others, stared in disbelief, Xiong Mei Qi, who had been kneeling and barking, suddenly stood up, covered her face, and ran away, vanishing without a trace.
Everyone was stunned.
Huang Xiaolong watched as Xiong Mei Qi disappeared without a trace and suddenly felt she was not so detestable after all; at least she was brave enough to face the consequences.
He had thought that Xiong Mei Qi would definitely find some reason to deny the bet.
Xiong Chu looked at his daughter’s vanishing figure and ultimately shook his head.
Due to Xiong Mei Qi’s departure, the newcomer test eventually did not proceed further.
Huang Xiaolong and the others dispersed.
Sun Zhang watched Huang Xiaolong’s retreating figure, his eyes flickering, “It looks like I’ll need to make a trip to Marshal Mansion in the next two days to have a good chat with old Hao Tian!”
Hearing the implied meaning in Sun Zhang’s words, Xiong Chu laughed, “Given the Dean’s relationship with Marshal Haotian, and adding the Dean’s status and strength, if the Dean wishes to take Huang Xiaolong as his disciple, Marshal Haotian will surely agree.”
Sun Zhang nodded, not worried about this matter.
However, what made him curious was what exactly Huang Xiaolong’s Martial Soul was.
“That old man Hao Tian should know,” Sun Zhang thought to himself.
After a moment, he regained his composure and, looking at the still unconscious Jiang Teng, said to Xiong Chu with a wry smile, “Let’s go, we should stabilize this young man’s injuries first.”
Xiong Chu also nodded with a bitter smile.
Then, the two of them took the unconscious Jiang Teng and, with a flash, disappeared from the spot.
After leaving the plaza, Huang Xiaolong didn’t return to the classroom but instead went to the library.
On the first floor of the library, any disciple of the academy could enter and read freely.
However, Combat Skills and Cultivation Techniques were only available on the second, third, and fourth floors, which one could enter only after completing academy tasks and reaching certain points.
Of course, Huang Xiaolong’s visit to the library was not to learn the academy’s Combat Skills and Cultivation Techniques.
Although he had been in this Martial Soul World for nearly a decade, his understanding of it was still lacking.
Therefore, he wanted to read more books to gain a better grasp of this world.
After browsing through two books about Martial Souls, Huang Xiaolong came in front of a bookshelf and suddenly saw a book titled “Innate Soul Skill.”
Innate Soul Skill?
A thought crossed Huang Xiaolong’s mind, and he picked up the book, flipping page after page.
The more he read, the more engrossed he became.
The book not only introduced various Martial Souls’ Innate Soul Skills but also explained how to utilize some of them.
It outlined the power and weaknesses of various Innate Soul Skills — while not in detail, it broadened Huang Xiaolong’s horizons significantly.
After more than an hour, Huang Xiaolong put the book back and picked up another one.
Meanwhile, as Huang Xiaolong was perusing books in the library, Star Sky Academy was swept up by a wave of wild speculation.
“Have you heard?
Today during the newcomer test, a newcomer named Huang Xiaolong nearly crippled Jiang Teng, who possesses a Super Martial Soul!”
“It’s absolutely true!
I was there in the plaza.
That Huang Xiaolong suddenly erupted with the strength of a Fourth-stage Late Stage Peak!”
“Fourth-stage Late Stage Peak!
How old is this Huang Xiaolong?
Not even ten years old, right?
That’s terrifying!”
“I also heard that Huang Xiaolong came to register with a recommendation letter from the Dean.
Before that, Jiang Teng kept calling him trash!”
All corners of the Star Sky Academy buzzed with discussion, whether it was the older students of various grades or the teachers, who were astonishingly shaken upon hearing the news, and likewise, more people were speculating as to what Huang Xiaolong’s Martial Soul truly was.
Approaching noon, when Huang Xiaolong finally came out of the library, some of the new students and older students who had witnessed the trial on the plaza recognized him and pointed at him, looking at him with strange expressions in their eyes.
Listening to the discussions around him, Huang Xiaolong shook his head.
He hadn’t expected the news to spread so quickly in this world, considering it had only been two or three hours since the morning’s test.
Amidst the ongoing chatter, Huang Xiaolong left the academy.
“Young Master!” Fei Hou and the four guards from the Marshal Mansion who were waiting there saw Huang Xiaolong emerge and hurried forward to greet him.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, then led the five of them back toward the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.
“Young Master, I hear that you almost crippled that Jiang Teng today!” Fei Hou said with a laugh on the way back.
“You’ve heard too?” Huang Xiaolong was startled and then let out a wry smile.
Fei Hou and the others chuckled.
Fei Hou said with a laugh, “That Jiang Teng is the first disciple of the Star Sky Academy in over a hundred years to have a Super Martial Soul, and he’s also the direct disciple of Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu.
The fact that you almost crippled him has already caused a sensation in the Royal City!”
It caused a sensation in the Royal City?
Huang Xiaolong was taken aback, frowning, but then his brow relaxed.
Since things had come to this point, it was useless to worry further.
Let there be a sensation—it wouldn’t take long for those with intentions to find out about his “ambiguous” relationship with Marshal Haotian.
With Marshal Haotian there, presumably no one would dare do anything to him.
At least in Luotong Royal City, he was safe.
After a while, Huang Xiaolong and his party of six arrived back at the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.
Back at the mansion, after dismissing the four guards from the Marshal Mansion, Huang Xiaolong went to the hall and inquired about Fei Hou’s progress with the Thunder Water Technique during the past few days.
Fei Hou replied with a delighted expression, “The Thunder Water Technique taught to me by the Sect Leader, after my cultivation these past few days, has greatly accelerated the improvement of my Combat Energy Cultivation!” Based on his recent rate of Combat Energy Cultivation improvement, it wouldn’t take five years, perhaps only around four years, to break through to the Innate stage.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, then asked Fei Hou about the purchasing of servants and the cultivation of his power these past few days.
Fei Hou reported on each matter one by one.
During these days, Fei Hou had carefully selected another twenty-six servants from the slave market and had started teaching them Cultivation Techniques and training various abilities.
Hearing the reports, Huang Xiaolong nodded in satisfaction.
“In a couple of days, I plan to go to the Silver Moon Forest to cultivate on my own,” Huang Xiaolong mused after a while, “I should probably return during the academy’s annual class competition at the end of the year.”
“What?!
Sect Leader, you’re planning to cultivate in the Silver Moon Forest alone?!” Fei Hou’s face changed, voicing his concern.
“Sect Leader, perhaps I should accompany you!”
Huang Xiaolong waved his hand dismissively, saying, “No need.
For these five months, you stay in the Heavenly Mystical Mansion, cultivating and training them.
Also, make sure you practice the Thunder Water Technique every day.”
Fei Hou wanted to say more, but Huang Xiaolong shook his head, “Enough, don’t say any more.
I have decided!” With his current strength, coupled with his Innate Soul Skill, Space Concealment, and Swift Shadow Following Wind, he would face no danger as long as he didn’t venture too deep into the Silver Moon Forest.
Besides, Huang Xiaolong didn’t want to keep relying on Fei Hou and Marshal Haotian.
Seeing this, Fei Hou could only respectfully accept the order.
Just as Huang Xiaolong decided to head to the Silver Moon Forest for his cultivation in two days, an unexpected visitor arrived at the Marshal Mansion—Sun Zhang, the Dean of the Star Sky Academy!
Upon arrival, Sun Zhang exchanged pleasantries with Marshal Haotian for a while, then stated his intention to take Huang Xiaolong as his apprentice.
“What?
You want to take Huang, Huang Xiaolong as your apprentice?” Marshal Haotian was astonished, his tone becoming unnaturally tense before he firmly shook his head, saying decisively, “No way!”
A joke, indeed.
Huang Xiaolong was the Asura Sect Master, and some Dean of the Star Sky Academy presumed to take him as a disciple?
