Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: I Challenge You! Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: I Challenge You! The hatred for killing his son was irreconcilable. The Xia Family Head, fuelled with rage, struck out to crush Huang Xiaolong in front of everyone.


    Boom~~!!!!


    A giant hand formed by condensed Mana endlessly expanded in size. In a blink, each finger was as large as a house, wrapped in countless runes and characters.


    It was about to bulldoze through everything.


    This was the approach of a great figure, a tactic of a great figure at the Divine Figure realm!


    Seeing this, the countless onlookers at the scene, including many geniuses from the Hidden Dragon List, had their brains and thoughts frozen, feeling as if the sky had fallen down!


    The end of days had arrived!


    Almost everyone believed that Huang Xiaolong could not avoid this attack no matter what and would only be suppressed and crushed to death.


    This giant hand, in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, kept magnifying, yet Huang Xiaolong remained extremely calm. There was even a hint of mockery in his eyes–‘Heh, blatantly disregarding the rules of the Hidden Dragon List? Good, very good, since that’s the case, I won’t care about anything anymore… If you want to play big, I’ll join you!’


    The negative emotions lurking deep within Huang Xiaolong were frantically unleashed.


    He had been prepared for everything before he came here, so he was not surprised at all that a great figure had made a move!


    Said it slow but it happened fast. Above the main battlefield, suddenly, an ancient voice resounded, very fluttering, very ethereal, as if coming from the eternal ages–


    “Brother Xia, stop please. Don’t break the rules of the Hidden Dragon List. Let’s put aside personal grievances for now~~~”


    This simple phrase, sung like an epic, each word spoken formed an ethereal Formation, layer upon layer piled up, silently dissipating the titanic Mana hand of the Xia Family Head.


    Pfft~~!!!!


    Droplets of Mana, dense as a heavy rain, drifted between heaven and earth.


    The giant hand was shattered.


    The crisis was resolved.


    “This!!!!!” From inside that bronze hall, the Xia Family Head emitted a reluctant groan but dared not make another move. It seemed that he was full of dread, even fear, towards the owner of that ancient voice!


    “Wow~ a single sentence dispelled the attack of a Divine Figure realm great figure. Words manifesting power, this is a master, a super master–at least someone in the late stages of the Divine Figure realm. Heh, it seems that even here on Cod Island, there are numerous eternal great figures hidden like dormant dragons, usually unseen, but they will emerge to control the situation at critical moments.” Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly, also reining in his violent emotions, quietly observing the changes.


    “Brother Xia, just now, it was indeed your son who proposed this fight to the death. And your Xia Family agreed without any objections.” The ancient voice spoke matter-of-factly, “Now that your son has lost in skill and died in battle, you should accept this outcome, but instead, you’re behaving unreasonably. Does this not harm the reputation of the Xia Family? Brother Xia, especially someone in your position, should have a broader mind~~”


    The ancient voice, seeming casual in tone, yet the authority in its words was simply undeniable.


    “This… this… well then~~okay, in this case, we… our Xia Family will let it go for now.” The Xia Family Head actually caved directly. But he was not broadminded; he was compelled, hence, the bitterness in his tone was something even the waters of three rivers and five lakes could not wash away.


    “That’s good, our Hidden Dragon List Talent Battles have been held countless times, and no one has ever openly broken the rules, and this time will be no exception. Brother Xia, you lost your composure just now due to your grief for your son. I won’t pursue it because of your intense emotions. Behave yourself from now on. Alright, let the competition continue.” The ancient voice finally disappeared, and the speaker never showed himself. As soon as the voice vanished, it left no trace, as if it had instantly fled away.


    The competition continued!


    At this moment, Huang Xiaolong’s gaze turned toward Ji Chuchen, Mo Shaoxin, Shi Feng, and others.


    Just now, there had been eight talents who, along with Xia Ding, had stepped forward wanting to challenge Huang Xiaolong. Now that Xia Ding was dead, only seven remained.


    Huang Xiaolong gave a faint smile. “Just now, I called you out to come at me together, and you were all hesitant. Now, well, come at me all together.”


    “You!” Ji Chuchen’s face was extremely sullen, his pupils sharply constricted, as if he wanted to devour Huang Xiaolong.


    He had thought that Huang Xiaolong would be slaughtered by Xia Ding, but on the contrary, not only did Huang Xiaolong not die, but he also casually killed Xia Ding, becoming the first standout in this year’s Draco List genius battle.


    How infuriating!


    However, even though Huang Xiaolong had killed Xia Ding, Ji Chuchen was not necessarily afraid of Huang Xiaolong.


    It should be noted that Xia Ding couldn’t even make it into the top ten of the Draco List. Although he was a talent, he was just an ordinary talent. Compared to Ji Chuchen, who was ranked sixth, the gap was quite significant, and this gap would only widen over time.


    “It’s just inheriting the power of the giant dragon and luckily gaining some brute strength. There’s simply no real battle skill–a brute,” Ji Chuchen flicked his fingernail. “In front of true geniuses, you’re as soft as mud!”


    “All talk and no action,” mocked Huang Xiaolong. “Stop dawdling, come up together. It’s a fight to the death! Do you dare?”


    “Fight to the death~~” Huangfu Tianjiao and the Unmatched Ying, among four divine skill realm geniuses, now seemed as if they had bitter bile crushed in their mouths, bitterness filling their words and fear overwhelming their hearts.


    Ji Chuchen might disregard Huang Xiaolong, but Huangfu Tianjiao and others didn’t dare! They were even inferior to Xia Ding; once they fought Huang Xiaolong, they were basically destined to be killed within minutes!


    Shi Feng and Mo Shaoxin, two talents superior to Xia Ding, were also unsettled, not daring to respond!


    “Got cold feet?” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.


    At this time, the elder presiding over the Draco List competition, his voice once again resounded over the main battlefield–“The first round of the competition has ended. Entering the second round, the ranking battle!”


    “This so-called ‘ranking battle’ is a fight among the talents on the Draco List, challenging each other to attain the rank they desire! Of course, you can also choose not to challenge and just maintain your current rank.”


    “A ranking battle?” Huang Xiaolong smiled; he had no intention of letting Ji Chuchen off as he continued, “You are ranked sixth on the Draco List, while I’ve just replaced Xia Ding’s position at 26… So, I will challenge your rank!”


    Draco List rank 26 challenging rank 6!

    Everyone held their breaths!


    If Huang Xiaolong indeed defeated Ji Chuchen and took his place on the Draco List, he would rise from a newcomer straight into the top ten! Such rapid promotion was akin to riding a rocket, utterly abnormal! Historically, in the Draco List genius battle, nothing so terrifying had occurred!


    “You think you’re worthy?!!!!” Ji Chuchen shouted.


    “There’s nothing about being worthy or not. The rules for the second round allow for free challenges,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “But I’ll repeat, the seven of you can come at me together. Just me against the seven of you. My word always stands.”
