Chapter 93

Huang Xiaolong looked at the Flame Dragon Pearl floating above the pagoda, and suddenly, he felt a stirring in his heart. He took out an Iron Fruit from the Asura Ring.

At this moment, a suction force suddenly appeared above the pagoda. The spiritual power from the Iron Fruit continuously drifted out, and gradually, the Iron Fruit withered at a visible speed, finally disappearing in the air.

After absorbing the spiritual power of the Iron Fruit, the air above the pagoda began to condense the Flame Dragon aura, showing signs of forming a Flame Dragon Pearl.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaolong felt a surge of joy. Indeed, this method was effective.

Next, Huang Xiaolong took out another Iron Fruit. Just like before, this Iron Fruit was instantly devoured by the Pagoda. After using over a dozen Iron Fruits, a Flame Dragon Pearl finally condensed above the pagoda.

Looking at the newly condensed Flame Dragon Pearl above the pagoda, Huang Xiaolong smiled bitterly. Although he now knew that fruits like the Iron Fruit could speed up the formation of the Flame Dragon Pearl, the cost was too high.

Over a dozen Iron Fruits!

Huang Xiaolong only had a dozen or so Iron Fruits left in his Asura Ring.

Fruits like the Iron Fruit could be bought at auctions and trading markets, but the prices were exorbitant. Even a king like Lu Zhe would find it hard to afford them, let alone Huang Xiaolong.

Afterward, Huang Xiaolong took out over a hundred Battle Qi Pills from his Asura Ring. After the pagoda devoured over a hundred Battle Qi Pills, another Flame Dragon Pearl condensed.

It took over a hundred Battle Qi Pills to condense one Flame Dragon Pearl, which was not much different from the cost of over a dozen Iron Fruits.

"Would the demon cores of beasts have any effect?" Huang Xiaolong suddenly thought.

However, he did not have any demon cores in his Asura Ring.

After a while, Huang Xiaolong came out of the Pagoda and went to the hall, calling Fei Hou. He gave Fei Hou ten thousand gold coins and asked him to buy demon cores from the auction and trading market.

Fei Hou, though puzzled about why Huang Xiaolong needed so many demon cores, did not dare to ask.

An hour later, Fei Hou returned and, as instructed by Huang Xiaolong, bought several dozen seventh-level demon cores.

After Fei Hou used ten thousand gold coins to buy several dozen seventh-level demon cores, Huang Xiaolong eagerly entered the Pagoda and took out the demon cores.

As Huang Xiaolong had expected, the pagoda could also devour the chaotic demon energy from the demon cores. Soon, the demon energy from over forty seventh-level demon cores was completely devoured by the pagoda, turning into powder and dissipating.

After devouring over forty seventh-level demon cores, the pagoda condensed two Flame Dragon Pearls above it.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaolong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, over forty seventh-level demon cores could condense two Flame Dragon Pearls, which meant that the cost was much lower than that of Iron Fruits and Battle Qi Pills, at about five thousand gold coins per Flame Dragon Pearl.

However, five thousand gold coins was still a significant amount, so Huang Xiaolong decided to go to the Silver Moon Forest to hunt demon beasts.

However, this time, the training in the Silver Moon Forest would take longer than the last time. Before going to the Silver Moon Forest to hunt demon beasts, Huang Xiaolong planned to visit the academy and apply for the second-year promotion exam. Now that he had broken through to the seventh level, he was eligible to advance to the second year.

The next day, Huang Xiaolong went to the Starry Sky Academy. After arriving, he went directly to the Dean's office. Normally, he could apply for the promotion exam through the head of the teaching department, but it would take ten to fifteen days for approval. If he went directly to Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu, it would be much simpler.

When Huang Xiaolong arrived at the Dean's office, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu were both there.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong, they were surprised and then stood up with smiles on their faces.

"Xiaolong, what brings you here today? Did you suddenly have time to visit us old guys?" Sun Zhang laughed. "Did you encounter any problems in your cultivation?"

Xiong Chu also laughed. "If you have any problems, feel free to tell us."

They thought Huang Xiaolong had come to seek their advice because he encountered problems in his cultivation.

Huang Xiaolong shook his head and said, "I came to apply for the second-year promotion exam."

"Apply for the second-year promotion exam?!" They were stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances and widened their eyes.

"You, you mean you've broken through to the seventh level?!" Sun Zhang exclaimed in surprise. It had been less than three months since the last grade competition. Even if Huang Xiaolong had taken the Starlight Pill and the Seven Seas Pill, it was impossible for him to break through so quickly! They estimated it would take at least a year for Huang Xiaolong to break through.

Xiong Chu also looked at Huang Xiaolong in disbelief.

Huang Xiaolong nodded. "Yes." He then released his Battle Qi.

"Seventh level! Indeed, it's the seventh level!" When Huang Xiaolong released his Battle Qi, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu were both excited and disbelieving.

After a long while, they finally calmed down from their excitement and disbelief.

Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu looked at Huang Xiaolong with strange expressions.

They never expected that in less than three months, Huang Xiaolong would give them another big surprise.

If Huang Xiaolong continued to cultivate at this speed, he might not need ten years to win the academy's overall competition and represent the academy in the Imperial City Battle in the Broken Blade Empire.

"Then, what about my application for the second-year promotion exam?" Seeing that Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu were just staring at him without speaking, Huang Xiaolong frowned.

Hearing Huang Xiaolong speak, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu finally snapped out of their daze.

"Xiaolong, we didn't expect you to break through to the seventh level so quickly!" Sun Zhang said with a bright smile. "Your application for the second-year promotion exam is approved. Tomorrow, the second-year Class 6 students and teachers will go to the border to eliminate bandits. You can go with them. As long as you eliminate ten bandits, you will pass the exam."

"Prince Lu Kai also applied for the promotion exam a few days ago," Xiong Chu added with a smile. "Tomorrow, he will go with you and the second-year Class 6 students and teachers."

Lu Kai is also going? Huang Xiaolong was taken aback but then nodded and bid farewell to the two.

When Huang Xiaolong left, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu personally saw him out of the Dean's office. They watched his back for a long time until he disappeared.

"I'm increasingly looking forward to what this young man will achieve in ten years!" Sun Zhang said.

"Perhaps in a hundred years, our Starry Sky Academy will rely on this young man for protection," Xiong Chu added.

Sun Zhang nodded in agreement.

After leaving the Dean's office, Huang Xiaolong did not go to the classroom but returned to the Heavenly Profound Manor and continued to enter the Pagoda to cultivate by consuming Flame Dragon Pearls.

The day passed quickly.

The next day, when Huang Xiaolong arrived at the academy square, he saw that many students from second-year Class 6 were already there. He recognized one person from second-year Class 6, Ye Yong, who had won first place in the class during the last grade competition. Ye Yong had cultivated in the Dragon Flame Valley with Huang Xiaolong and others.
