Chapter 0347: One Must Have Self-Awareness in Life

Others might not know that Angus died on the Hengyuan Continent due to Fei De’s treacherous attack, but Huang Long was well aware of it. Back then, although Angus only asked Huang Long to convey the news to Anlise of the Beikar family, he never asked him to avenge Angus. However, Huang Long’s Evolutionary Immortal Artifact from the Qunxian Pavilion could be attributed to Angus’ Dragon God physique. Thus, Huang Long always felt that if he got the chance, he might as well eliminate Fei De as a way to repay Angus’ kindness.

So when Huang Long heard that the red-haired young man was Fei De, a killing intent flashed in his heart.

After hearing Chester’s words, Fei De sneered coldly, “Chester, did I hear that right? Am I not welcome here? Do you think this is your own estate? I can come and go as I please—there’s no need for you to give orders.” With an indifferent expression and a hint of arrogance, he showed no respect for Chester at all.

Chester’s face darkened as he snorted coldly, “So do you really think this is your own estate?”

At that moment, the short, chubby Francie stood beside Chester and said, “Fei De, this is the True Dragon Hall Plaza. What do you intend to do?”

Huang Long watched clearly as Chester and Francie clearly showed restraint around Fei De. If even influential figures like Chester and Francie were cautious, it meant Fei De must have a significant status.

After hearing Francie’s words, Fei De turned to him and mocked, “Hey, fat guy, this isn’t your business. You’d better take care of your own affairs. If you end up last again, think about how you’ll face your grandfather, Elder Barrit.” Then he glanced at Huang Long and continued, “But I suppose you won’t even be as good as a mid-tier god this time, right? If so, don’t bother joining our trials anymore. It would only bring shame to your grandfather and us as well.”

Francie’s face turned red with anger. “Fei De, you!” He pointed at him and shouted, “Stop talking nonsense!”

Fei De’s expression turned cold. “Fat guy, say that again!” His eyes sharpened like swords as he stared at Francie.

Seeing Fei De’s expression, Francie grew fearful. Fei De held considerable prestige among the clan’s members, but Francie still puffed out his chest. “So what if I said it?”

Fei De was about to speak again when suddenly, all the disciples in the square fell silent and turned their gaze toward the True Dragon Hall. From inside the hall, several people stepped out. The one at the front was none other than Kennedy, followed by Donald and two elders. The elder on the left was the Grand Elder Bishop, and the other was the Third Elder Barret.

With Kennedy and his group appearing, Fei De could not help but cast a resentful glance at the short, fat Francis and Chester before turning away and returning to his seat. Before leaving, however, he sneered at Huang Long in a low voice, “Kid, don’t think you’re special just because of your status. Know your limits. Be careful around me from now on!”

Huang Long smiled coldly in his heart. “I’ll be waiting.”

Fei De snorted.

“It seems Fei De has sided with Chester and the others. But since he hates Chester so much, could it be because of Angus, that rival?” Huang Long thought to himself. He knew Fei De resented him for no reason—clearly because he stood with Chester.

But whether Fei De resented him or not didn’t matter to Huang Long. It was even better. Since Fei De was coming to seek his own death, he couldn’t blame Huang Long. As he watched Fei De’s retreating figure, a cold glint appeared in Huang Long’s eyes.

At that moment, Kennedy and his group walked to the front of the square and stopped.

“Greetings, Clan Leader and the four elders!” As Kennedy and his group arrived, all the disciples bowed respectfully.

The five of them nodded and then spoke, “Good. Everyone is here now. I believe you all know the rules of this trial, right?” After saying that, they scanned the crowd. Whether it was Huang Long’s imagination or not, Kennedy’s gaze lingered on him for a moment.

Donald had already explained the rules of the trial to Huang Long earlier. The rules allowed almost anything, except relying on others’ help!

For example, if you had a primary divine artifact, you could use it during the trial. Having a primary divine artifact also counted as part of your strength.

Of course, you could also summon your mount to fight alongside you during the trial.

There weren’t many other restrictions.

When Huang Long learned about these rules from Donald, he was stunned. Then he realized that these rules were practically tailor-made for him!

Mount? The Chaos Primordial Beast, the Wind-Flame Dragon Scale!

Over the years, by consuming theYuanming Shenshu fruit from theYuanming Shenshu and listening to Huang Long’s teachings, the Chaos Primordial Beast, the Wind-Flame Dragon Scale, which was at the peak of a mid-tier god, had finally broken through that thin barrier and reached the rank of an upper-tier god, experiencing a tremendous change in strength.

The Chaos Sovereign Beast of the Higher Deities, the Wind-Flame Dragon Wyrm—what kind of power does that possess?! Back then, even when at the peak of a Mid-Level Deity, the Wind-Flame Dragon Wyrm could escape from two Level 7 Underworld Kings! Its strength was comparable to Li Yifeng, who possessed Chaos Energy; in fact, in some aspects, it was even stronger than Li Yifeng, who was a Level 6 Underworld King. Now, having advanced to a Higher Deity, the Wind-Flame Dragon Wyrm’s strength surpasses that of ordinary Level 7 Underworld Kings.

However, the Chaos Beast Wind-Flame Dragon Wyrm isn’t the most important thing—there are millions of mutated beasts! To be precise, 1.2 million mutated beasts! That’s what the Yellow Dragon relies on! These 1.2 million mutated beasts also represent part of the Yellow Dragon’s strength, and using them doesn’t violate any rules.

“The rules remain unchanged, but after discussions with the elders, we’ve decided to alter the rewards for this trial,” Kennedy spoke up.

“Change the rewards?” The disciples were stunned.

“That’s right! The rewards for the top ten disciples will double! In addition to being able to train in the Tianlong Space for a year, the Dragon King Jade Crystals awarded will also double. Especially for the top three, the family has decided to reward each with 1 trillion Divine Stones!” Kennedy smiled at the disciples in the square.

“What? A year in the Tianlong Space?”

“The Dragon King Jade Crystals will double!”

“The top three will each get 1 trillion Divine Stones!”

Instantly, the disciples in the square were in an uproar, filled with excitement. No matter which reward, it was too tempting for them. Even just a few days in the Tianlong Space was something they dreamed of, let alone a whole year! The Dragon King Jade Crystals, though not as good as Dragon Blood Crystals, were still extremely beneficial for cultivation. 1 trillion Divine Stones was a substantial amount, even for them.

The Yellow Dragon was also moved. Divine Stones weren’t important to him, but the first two rewards were very significant. According to Donald’s explanation a few days ago, the Tianlong Space was a space formed by heaven and earth. Within it, a kind of Dragon Origin Energy emerged. For the disciples of the Runing family, entering it to cultivate and absorb this Dragon Origin Energy was highly beneficial. However, this Dragon Origin Energy was rare, otherwise, the Runing family would have already allowed all their direct descendants to train there.

Kennedy and the others watched the disciples discussing excitedly without interfering, smiling instead. At that moment, Kennedy glanced at the Yellow Dragon among the crowd.

But when he saw Huang Long standing among the crowd, staring blankly ahead, he couldn’t help frowning. “Could it be that Huang Hai knows he has no chance of making it into the top ten, so he’s given up hope already? Otherwise, even those other apprentices, like Francis, would be excited upon hearing this news.” At that moment, Donald was also looking at Huang Long, thinking much the same as Kennedy, and shook his head with a sigh. “However, if I were Huang Hai and knew that all the other participants were at the seventh level of the Nether King realm, I’d likely think the same way and give up on that reward as well,” Donald thought to himself. “Alright, everyone, quiet down for a moment.” After a while, Kennedy raised his hand to silence them. Seeing Kennedy speak, all the apprentices quieted down, though they still couldn’t hide the excitement on their faces. “This time, Elder Donald will lead us to the Trial Island to undergo a year-long trial. If anyone leaves halfway, it will be considered a withdrawal from this trial.” After saying that, Kennedy glanced in Huang Long’s direction. Leaving halfway? Such a situation usually didn’t occur, but with Huang Long’s addition, Kennedy and the others thought it might be possible. On the Trial Island, there were primal beasts raised by the Runing family. Most of these beasts were at the sixth level, accounting for 60%, while fifth-level and seventh-level beasts each made up 20%. The final ranking of the trial would be determined by the number of primal beasts killed and their strength. Killing primal beasts?! Huang Long pretended not to notice Kennedy and the others’ expressions, smiling inwardly. This was precisely what he had been best at since entering the Nether World! “Alright, let’s set off. All the family apprentices, work hard! I wish everyone can make it into the top ten of this trial!” Kennedy said finally. Then, Donald spoke up and led the apprentices to the Trial Island. Although the Trial Island was within the Runing estate, it wasn’t far from the main headquarters. At their speed, it would still take about three to four months. “If that kid Francis ends up last again this time, I’ll give him a hundred whacks when he comes back!” Third Elder Barret joked as he watched Donald lead the apprentices away. “Hehe, Barret, I really can’t figure it out. Why do you, with so many nephews and grandkids, always choose Francis for those three spots?” First Elder Bishop said with a smile. “Better not talk about it. As for Fei, he’ll probably be first again, right?” Barret replied. Fei always came in first or second in every trial, mostly first—his most proud grandson among First Elder Bishop’s descendants!
