Chapter 73

Lu Kai looked at the two hellish winds engulfing him with a face full of terror. The wailing sound produced by the hellish winds actually made him shudder with fear!

In his shock, Lu Kai hastily spread the four wings behind him. The wings suddenly retracted, spinning like a ball of green light, and he instantly moved.

However, it was still a step too slow.

The two hellish winds engulfed him, instantly crashing into the green light.

With a "bang!"

The green light dimmed, slowing down, gradually revealing Lu Kai's terrified eyes.

In the end, the green light disappeared, and the hellish winds swept over, forcing Lu Kai to retreat continuously until he reached the edge of the platform. The hellish winds swept in front of him and then disappeared.

Seeing the hellish winds in front of him disappear, Lu Kai felt his back pores widen, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.

Just now, he actually felt the breath of death.

Death was so close to him!

Lu Kai panted and looked at his right hand. He saw that his right arm and the right side of his body were shredded by Huang Xiaolong's hellish winds, leaving bloodstains, but fortunately, it was just a superficial injury.

After his terror, he looked at Huang Xiaolong with a complex expression. He knew that if Huang Xiaolong hadn't held back, his right arm would have been crippled!

"I, I lost!" Lu Kai took a deep breath and slowly said to Huang Xiaolong. After speaking, he felt as if all his strength had been drained, almost falling over.

Everyone around was in an uproar.

Prince Lu Kai actually lost! And he admitted defeat!

Breaking through to the seventh rank and possessing a mutated Heavenly Peng martial soul, he still lost to Huang Xiaolong, who was at the peak of the sixth rank!

In the world of martial souls, the myth that a sixth-rank fighter could never defeat a seventh-rank fighter was finally broken by Huang Xiaolong!

Everyone was in a state of disbelief and shock.

On the main stage, everyone had different thoughts.

King Lu Zhe sighed, "I didn't expect even Kai to be no match for Huang Xiaolong." Saying this, he smiled with satisfaction and said to Marshal Haotian, "I didn't expect Huang Xiaolong's martial soul to be an ancient divine dragon, a black dragon. I look forward to Huang Xiaolong winning the academy championship and representing the academy in the capital battle of the Broken Blade Empire!"

Lu Zhe spoke from the heart. He truly looked forward to Huang Xiaolong's participation in the capital battle of the Broken Blade Empire. If Huang Xiaolong could place in the top ten, it would not only be a glory for the Starry Sky Academy but also for the entire Luotong Kingdom!

Marshal Haotian also smiled, "This old minister feels the same as the king." He also looked forward to it because he knew that it would not only be a glory for the Starry Sky Academy and the Luotong Kingdom but also for the Asura Gate.

Moreover, participating in the capital battle was just the beginning of the glory.

After that, there would be the empire battle!

After a long time, Sun Zhang stood up from the main stage, looking at Huang Xiaolong on the platform with excitement, and said, "Huang Xiaolong wins this match! First place in the first year, Huang Xiaolong!"

First place in the first year, Huang Xiaolong!

Everyone around erupted when they heard Sun Zhang announce the result.

Li Lu smiled, Fei Hou smiled, Marshal Haotian smiled, and the guards of the Marshal's residence smiled!

The entire hall was in a frenzy, but Zhong Yuan, standing in the crowd, looked ashen and pale, his eyes filled with shock and hatred as he looked at Huang Xiaolong on the platform.

Huang Xiaolong won! Taking first place in the year, what about his bet with Huang Xiaolong?!

Zhong Yuan felt a darkness cloud his vision.

Hearing Sun Zhang announce the result, Huang Xiaolong felt a weight lift from his heart.

After a hard-fought battle, he finally took first place in the year!

Not long after, the results for the second year, third year, and the overall championship were also announced. The overall champion was a student named Chen Cheng from the Inner Academy, who had reached the peak of the tenth rank. In two months, he would represent the Starry Sky Academy in the capital battle of the Broken Blade Empire.

The Inner Academy was a special section of the Starry Sky Academy, selecting the most talented students from the third year, with only ten students each year.

After the results for the first place in each year and the overall champion were announced, King Lu Zhe and Sun Zhang jointly presented awards to Huang Xiaolong and the other three.

During the award ceremony, Lu Zhe and Sun Zhang couldn't help but encourage Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong looked at the prizes in his hands, feeling a surge of excitement.

One million gold coins!

A set of low-grade Earth-level cultivation technique, a set of low-grade Earth-level combat skill!

Most importantly, a high-grade fourth-rank spirit pill, the Starlight Pill!

With this Starlight Pill, plus the iron fruit, his father Huang Peng's strength could be further enhanced! Huang Xiaolong naturally wouldn't take the Starlight Pill himself but would save it for his father, Huang Peng.

Now that the semester was over, he could return to the Huang family village in a few days.

The academy's year-end competition finally concluded, and everyone dispersed.

However, as everyone left the hall, Lu Kai said to Huang Xiaolong, "I hope we still have the chance to face each other next year!"

Next year? Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Next year would be their second-year competition.

After everyone dispersed, Huang Xiaolong left the academy with Fei Hou, the guards from the Marshal's residence, and Li Lu, then returned to the Tianxuan Manor.

As soon as they returned to the Tianxuan Manor, Li Lu excitedly chattered, pulling Huang Xiaolong and describing how cool he looked when he defeated Lu Kai, Chen Qiang, and others on the platform.

Huang Xiaolong could only let Li Lu chatter for over an hour, seeing her so happy.

After over an hour, Li Lu finally left the Tianxuan Manor.

After Li Lu left, Huang Xiaolong called Fei Hou and took out the one million gold coins as a reward, asking him to see if he could purchase the surrounding manors. With more servants, the Tianxuan Manor was getting a bit small and needed to be expanded.

"Purchase the surrounding manors?" Fei Hou looked at the one million gold coins and nodded, "Yes, Master, please rest assured, I will take care of it!"

As long as there were enough gold coins, he believed the owners of the surrounding manors would sell. Moreover, Fei Hou had heard that some of the surrounding manors belonged to the subordinates of his senior brother Haotian, so it shouldn't be difficult to purchase them.

After Fei Hou left, Huang Xiaolong returned to his room and began cultivating the Asura Technique.

According to the Starry Sky Academy's tradition, the day after the year-end competition, the first-place winners from each class and year would gather in the academy square, and then Dean Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu would lead everyone to the academy's treasure land, the Dragon Flame Valley, for cultivation.

Thinking about how the Dragon Flame Valley could not only temper the body but also enhance the quality of martial qi, Huang Xiaolong couldn't help but look forward to it.

Now, his martial qi, the Netherworld Martial Qi, was already of the highest quality among martial qi. If it could be further enhanced, he wondered to what extent it could improve?

As the night gradually faded and the sun shone,

Huang Xiaolong stopped his cultivation, left his room, and felt refreshed after a night of cultivation. The fatigue from yesterday's competition and the depletion of martial qi were completely gone.

"Master, good news!" Just as Huang Xiaolong entered the hall, Fei Hou came in with a joyful expression and said, "Senior brother said he has contacted the master. He reported Master's news to the master, and the master is overjoyed and is already on his way to the Luotong Kingdom!"
