Chapter 1001: Chapter 996: Room Assignments

“That’s right, he must have tampered with the Jade Talisman!”

“Expel him from the Barbarian God Sect!”

“Someone like him has no right to participate in the assessment to join the Barbarian God Sect with us!”

Many other family disciples echoed Zhu Wanchen’s accusations upon hearing this.

Even the female disciple Liu Bing, who had ranked second previously, looked at Huang Xiaolong with disbelief and disdain, clearly thinking that Huang Xiaolong was cheating.

Zhu Wanchen was a Divine-level Tenth Stage Peak and had a top-level Godhood. In terms of combat power, she believed Huang Xiaolong could never surpass Zhu Wanchen.

Looking at the family disciples angrily accusing him, Huang Xiaolong sneered internally. He understood their thoughts; much of it was jealousy, and many wanted to curry favor with Zhu Wanchen.

As Huang Xiaolong remained silent, more family disciples began to blame him, until finally, he was painted as a villain of the highest order.

While the crowd was cursing angrily, Elder Huang Xiaoming, who had been silent, suddenly shouted, “Enough, everyone, be quiet!”

With Huang Xiaoming’s shout, the previously noisy crowd fell silent.

For a moment, the Great Hall was quiet.

Huang Xiaoming glanced sharply at everyone and said, “The Jade Talisman’s assessment prohibition was set by two Supreme Elders of our sect together. Even we cannot cheat on it.”

The family disciples exchanged looks.

“Do any of you have any questions?” Huang Xiaoming asked.

No one answered.

Although no one dared to question it anymore, their eyes still showed disbelief, convinced that Huang Xiaolong was at fault.

Soon, the results of this assessment came out.

Huang Xiaolong claimed first place with sixty-three thousand two hundred and sixteen beasts.

And Zhu Wanchen ended up second, missing by one beast.

The female disciple Liu Bing ranked third.

As Huang Xiaolong stepped forward to receive the first-place reward from Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Wanchen’s eyes flashed with jealousy.

He was the Zhu Family’s millennial genius, with Top-level Godhood, yet he lost to a waste with only Level 8 Peak Divine Realm?

When word got out, it would be a disgrace!

A great disgrace!

However, when Huang Xiaolong went to receive his reward, Huang Xiaoming and Jiang Yan, along with other elders, only nodded slightly, showing impatience.

When it was Zhu Wanchen’s turn to receive his reward, Huang Xiaoming and Jiang Yan beamed and offered lavish praise, saying that if Zhu Wanchen ever encountered issues in cultivation, he could come to them or other elders for guidance.

Although Huang Xiaolong took first place in this assessment, clearly, in the eyes of Huang Xiaoming, Jiang Yan, and others, Zhu Wanchen’s talent was far superior to Huang Xiaolong’s. Huang Xiaolong’s current first place was just luck and temporary, and it didn’t mean he could compete with Zhu Wanchen in the future.

Zhu Wanchen respectfully said, “Please rest assured, elders, I will not disappoint you. Ten months from now, in the Hidden Dragon List competition, I will definitely take the top spot.”

Huang Xiaoming nodded with a smile, “Very good!”

Next was Liu Bing, the third-ranked female disciple, who went forward to receive her reward.

Although Liu Bing’s talent was not as good as Zhu Wanchen’s, she also had Ninth-level Peak Divine Godhood. Such talent was still considered rare genius on the entire Azure Cloud Island.

Huang Xiaoming, Jiang Yan, and others also encouraged Liu Bing kindly.

Their attitude toward Huang Xiaolong differed greatly.

Among the hundred disciples who passed the assessment, thirteen had Ninth-level and above Godhood talents.

Among the top ten, except for Huang Xiaolong, all had Ninth-level Godhood.

Thus, Huang Xiaolong seemed a bit out of place.

After receiving the rewards, Huang Xiaoming, Jiang Yan, and others led Huang Xiaolong and others to the Hidden Dragon Hall to receive the Outer Disciple attire and Identity Jade Token of the Barbarian God Sect.

Then, the Inner Sect Disciple Wang Lei led Huang Xiaolong and others to Hidden Dragon Peak, while Huang Xiaoming, Jiang Yan, and others reported the assessment results to the Supreme Elders of the Barbarian God Sect.

Hidden Dragon Peak was the mountain where the Barbarian God Sect’s outer sect disciples lived and cultivated.

On Hidden Dragon Peak, there are the Storm Institute, Wuji Institute, East First Hall, and Divine Martial Institute.

Huang Xiaolong and others were arranged to stay in the newly completed Divine Martial Institute.

The Divine Martial Institute had a total of one hundred rooms, located halfway up Hidden Dragon Peak, arranged in a row from number one to one hundred.

From the outside, all these rooms looked the same, but the interior setup differed. The rooms closer to the front had better setups, like higher-level Gathering Spirit Stones in the Spirit Gathering Array and better Cold Jade for the Spiritual Bed inside.

According to the usual rules, Huang Xiaolong, who won this assessment, should have room number one, but Inner Sect Disciple Wang Lei pointed to room number one and said to Zhu Wanchen with a smile, “Junior Brother Zhu, that’s your room.”

Huang Xiaolong frowned, “According to the rules, I won the first place in this assessment, and room number one is mine.”

Inner Sect Disciple Wang Lei explained, “That’s the decision of Elder Huang Xiaoming and others. They said that this year’s room allocation would be based on Godhood talent, so room number one is for Junior Brother Zhu Wanchen.”

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes turned cold, “Based on Godhood talent allocation? So, even though I won the first place in this assessment, my room is number fourteen!”

This time, there are thirteen with Ninth-level Godhood talents above.

It means not only Zhu Wanchen but even the family disciples ranked eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth have better rooms than Huang Xiaolong?

Inner Sect Disciple Wang Lei smiled slightly and said to Huang Xiaolong, “Yes, that’s the decision of Elder Huang Xiaoming and others. I’m just following orders. Actually, Brother Huang, all the rooms are similar. Every room is the same.”

Huang Xiaolong’s expression was indifferent, “Is that so.”

Zhu Wanchen, Liu Bing, and the other thirteen were dissatisfied with Huang Xiaolong’s first place, and now they were delighted to see Elder Huang Xiaoming make such an arrangement. They couldn’t help but feel schadenfreude toward Huang Xiaolong.

Zhu Wanchen even walked up to Huang Xiaolong and mocked, “Huang Xiaolong, don’t think you can really receive key training from the Barbarian God Sect just because you won this assessment. The Hidden Dragon List competition is coming up, and you’ll participate, right? Then, I’ll show you our real gap on the stage. I’ll defeat you in ten moves!”

Initially, Huang Xiaolong wasn’t interested in the Hidden Dragon List, but after hearing Zhu Wanchen’s words, he coldly smiled, “No need for ten moves; I’ll beat you in one move then!”

Finished speaking, Huang Xiaolong ignored Zhu Wanchen and walked toward his room.

“What?!” Zhu Wanchen was furious.

“That Huang Xiaolong is quite arrogant, saying he’ll defeat Zhu Wanchen with one move?”

“Arrogant and ignorant! When Zhu Wanchen breaks through to Heavenly God, Huang Xiaolong won’t be able to take even one move from him! And he ignorantly claims he’ll beat Zhu Wanchen with one move?”

The family disciples shook their heads and discussed after hearing what Huang Xiaolong said.

Even Inner Sect Disciple Wang Lei felt Huang Xiaolong was getting a bit too arrogant. (To be continued.
