Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Imperial City Battle

"Register for Cosmic Star Academy enrollment?" Huang Xiaolong was dazed.

At this time, Li Cheng and a few of Li Residence bodyguards had caught up with them; it was Li Cheng who brought Li Lu over to Royal City.

"Uncle," Huang Xiaolong greeted Li Cheng, struggling to get out of Li Lu's arms. 

Li Cheng looked at Huang Xiaolong meaningfully, laughed and said, "Xiaolong, I haven't seen you for a few months, yet you have grown taller. These past few months, Li Lu has missed you very much."

"Dad, what are you saying!" protested Li Lu shyly, stamping her feet a couple of times.

Li Cheng chuckled, and then turned around towards Fei Hou, "Greetings, Senior Fei Hou."

The news had traveled that Fei Hou defeated Huang Clan Manor's Old Patriarch, Huang Qide, in one move thus revealing his peak late-Tenth Order strength-- of course Li Cheng heard about it.

Fei Hou slightly nodded, his expression remaining indifferent.

"Xiaolong, have you found a place to stay? If not, let's stay together?"

The Li Family's business dealt with silk and was relatively a large business. Thus, they have a small store and residence courtyard here in the Royal City. But their residence courtyard was about two hundred square feet, it couldn't compare to Huang Xiaolong's Tianxuan Courtyard.

Stay together? Huang Xiaolong stared at Li Lu and swallowed his saliva before answering. "No need, I already found a place to stay." 

"Oh," Li Lu pouted, feeling disappointed but very quickly a smile appeared again on her face, showing two cute dimples, "This Royal City is very big, bigger than Canglan County City. Come! Let's go and have a look around!" Li Lu was already pulling Huang Xiaolong's hand as she said that.

Look around? Black lines appeared on Huang Xiaolong's forehead.

Still, in the end, he was pulled around the city by Li Lu for more than an hour.

More than an hour later, Huang Xiaolong finally escaped and returned to the Marshal's Mansion with Fei Hou and the two guards. Huang Xiaolong left early in the morning, and it was afternoon when he returned.

In the Marshal Mansion, Huang Xiaolong invited Marshal Haotian over to his yard.

"Sovereign," Haotian respectfully greeted upon seeing Huang Xiaolong. 

Huang Xiaolong pointed to chairs nearby and indicated that both Haotian and Fei Hou should sit, "Both of you, come sit."

When both of them were seated, Huang Xiaolong said to Haotian, "I would like to know about Cosmic Star Academy."

Haotian paused, he didn't expect that Sovereign called him over to ask about Cosmic Star Academy; then, something occurred to him– Cosmic Star Academy is Luo Tong Kingdom's elite academy, does the Sovereign want to enroll into the Academy?

Immediately, Haotian told Huang Xiaolong about Cosmic Star Academy's history, and all he knew about it. He talked for twenty minutes or so before asking, "Sovereign, do you want to enroll into Cosmic Star Academy?"

Huang Xiaolong practiced the Asura Tactics, and he had the Asura Sword Skill, and the Asura Demon Claw; therefore, in his opinion, it's not that important whether or not he got into the Cosmic Star Academy. But when Haotian asked, Huang Xiaolong did not deny it. 

Haotian continued to elaborate, "If Sovereign enrolls into Cosmic Star Academy, it will be helpful to Sovereign's practice. Every year, in Cosmic Star Academy, a competition is held between the different classes, then the different class years and the overall Academy, and every year's first place winner is eligible to enter the Dragon Flame Valley to practice. Dragon Flame Valley is a practice treasure land! Not only can it refine the physical body, but it also can improve battle qi grade!"

"Dragon Flame Valley, refining physical body, and improving battle qi grade!"

Huang Xiaolong was astonished. This was his first time hearing that there were things that could enhance battle qi grade!

"Yes, Sovereign. This Dragon Flame Valley has a natural underground Dragon Vein and that is the reason why practicing in Dragon Flame Vally can refine and strengthen the body, and enhance battle qi quality! But it is only effective for those under the Tenth Order; after the Tenth Order, practicing in the Dragon Flame Valley has no significant benefits!" added Fei Hou.

Natural dragon vein!

The Cosmic Star Academy actually has a natural dragon vein!

A light flickered in Huang Xiaolong's eyes. Although it only benefits those under the Tenth Order, it is already unbelievable enough. And for the current Huang Xiaolong, the benefits reaped would be great!

"Apart from that, the first place of every class year is rewarded with a dan. First place first year, a high Grade Four Spirit Dan, first place second year is rewarded with an early Grade Five Spirit Dan, the third year's first place gets a mid-Grade Five Spirit Dan, and lastly, the overall Academy Champion gets a high Grade Five Spirit dan!" Haotian explained in detail.

High Grade Four Spirit Dan! Early Grade Five, mid Grade, and high Grade! Both of Huang Xiaolong's eyes were wide with disbelief; this Cosmic Star Academy was so generous, willing to come out with so many Grade Five Spirit Dans as rewards.

Grade five Spirit Dans in the Luo Tong Kingdom can't be bought even if you have money!

Grandfather Huang Qide's heart bled profusely when he gave the Grade Four Spirit Dan that he had kept for nearly twenty years to Huang Xiaolong. Instead, Huang Xiaolong gave the Dragon Tiger Fundamental Dan to his father, Huang Peng, and that was only a high Grade Four Spirit Dan.

"The one who wins the overall Academy competition will be representing Cosmic Star Academy to Duanren Empire Imperial City for the Imperial City Battle!" Fei Hou said.

"Head to Duanren Empire Imperial City for the Imperial City Battle!" Huang Xiaolong's astonishment came from the bottom of his heart.

"Correct, every year, all the first place Academy disciples under Duanren Empire's rule will travel to the Imperial City to compete in what is called the Imperial City Battle!" Haotian continued to say, "In the competition, disciples that perform outstandingly, ranking within the first one hundred are eligible to enroll in Imperial City's Duanren Academy. Becoming a Duanren Academy disciple, and this is a great honor no matter how prestigious the family or kingdom"

"And in that one hundred spots, from eleven to one hundred the disciples are rewarded with an early Grade Six Spirit Dan!"

"Second to the tenth place are rewarded mid-Grade Six Spirit Dan!"

"As for the champion, is rewarded with a high Grade Six Spirit Dan!"

Haotian was very excited as he spoke about the rewards that would be given.

That's a high Grade Six Spirit Dan ah!

A high Grade Six Spirit Dan is a much-coveted treasure for a Xiantian like him!

Even Fei Hou was filled with longing.

And Huang Xiaolong swallowed, a 'gulu' sound was heard. 

His mother*, that's a high Grade Six Spirit Dan! 

If a peak late-Tenth Order warrior swallowed it, he probably could breakthrough to Xiantian realm! 

Slowly, Huang Xiaolong calmed down. 

Then, Huang Xiaolong asked Haotian the Cosmic Star Academy's registration process and requirements.

"A Houtian warrior can register and with Sovereign's age, there won't be any problem. The basic requirements are aged twelve and under and the martial spirits must be at least be a grade nine." Haotian replied. 

"Grade nine and above?" Huang Xiaolong frowned: if it is necessary to check his martial spirits, then wouldn't his twin dragon martial spirits be exposed?

"Actually, it doesn't matter if Sovereign doesn't have grade nine martial spirits-- I can arrange for Sovereign's entry to the Academy." As Haotian had never seen Huang Xiaolong's martial spirits, upon noticing Huang Xiaolong's frown, he thought Huang Xiaolong's martial spirits doesn't meet the requirement. 

As the Luo Tong Kingdom's only Marshal, he has the ability to arrange for a person to enter the Cosmic Star Academy. 


Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Sovereign Invincible Throughout!

Don't have grade nine martial spirits? Huang Xiaolong listened to Marshal Haotian misunderstanding, shook his head and smiled bitterly. After thinking for a moment, Huang Xiaolong said, "The truth is, it is not that my martial spirit doesn't reach grade nine. I am worried about my martial spirit being exposed." 

Haotian and Fei Hou exchanged a glance; Sovereign was worried about troubles that might arise if his martial spirit was exposed? In general, even if he possessed a grade ten martial spirit, he didn't need to worry about this matter, right? 

While Haotian and Fei Hou were still confused, suddenly a bright light shone from Huang Xiaolong's body and subsequently, two small dragons, one black one blue floated above Huang Xiaolong's head.

Two oppressive auras that made the heart palpitate spread out from them and an aura that could have swept the world was exuded from Huang Xiaolong's body. 

Both of them were dazed as they stared at the martial spirits floating behind Huang Xiaolong, their bodies trembling, not daring to believe the scene before them.

"Twin, twin martial spirits!" cried out Fei Hou in a shaky voice. 

Sovereign's martial spirit turned out to be the legendary twin martial spirits!

"A Dragon? Twin Dragons? Superb talent twin martial spirits!" Marshal Haotian quivered with excitement, his tongue knotted and he started to mumble incoherently. 

Heavens ah, twin superb martial spirits! 

This actually are Sovereign's martial spirits!

Both Haotian and Fei Hou became so excited that they felt faint. 

Without warning, both of them jumped off their seats and prostrated before Huang Xiaolong.

"Sovereign invincible throughout!" 

"Sovereign invincible throughout!"

They lauded the words every time they lowered their head in prostration, their usual calmness and indifference lost in their excitement.

Huang Xiaolong was stupefied at the sight of Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou repeatedly bowing while shouting slogans. Speechless, he laughed bitterly in his mind. It's just superb talent twin martial spirits, do you both need to be so excited ah? 

"Both of you, stand up." said Huang Xiaolong finally. 

But, both Haotian and Fei Hou did not stand up.

Marshal Haotian beamed in elation, tears welling up in his eyes as he said, "Sovereign, superb martial spirits, this is Heaven's blessing to our Asura's Gate ah! Our Asura's Gate will definitely rise again, rebuilding our past glory!" 

Superb twin martial spirits!

Such a rare talent, not to mention the Duanren Empire or even the entire Snow Wind Continent did not have one since they were so very few!

The Duanren Empire was built over two thousand years ago, and yet to date there hasn't been even one twin martial spirits emerging in its history. 

Fei Hou was no exception, babbling nonsensically to himself.

It took ten minutes for their excitement to subside a bit before both of them were willing to stand up, but they still had not fully calmed down. 

"The matter about my martial spirits must not be leaked out." Huang Xiaolong reminded when Haotian and Fei Hou stood up.

"Sovereign, rest assured. Even if we die, we will not say a word about Sovereign's martial spirits!" Fei Hou and Haotian once again knelt down in oath.

Huang Xiaolong nodded: he revealed this secret because he trusted them due to the fact Fei Hou and Haotian were absolutely loyal to Asura's Gate. 

Huang Xiaolong told them to rise and asked, "Can you tell me the grade of my twin martial spirits?"

Haotian and Fei Hou were stunned and exchanged a look between themselves, but neither of them spoke. Some time passed before Haotian finally opened his mouth, saying seriously, "In general, black dragon martial spirits are graded ten. However, from what I can see, this black dragon differs from the usual black dragon. Sovereign's black dragon should be a variation and as for the blue dragon, there is no record of it."

"No record?" Huang Xiaolong was astounded. 

"Yes, Sovereign. In the Snow Wind Continent, there hasn't been a time where a blue dragon martial spirit appeared before. Although I can't determine the grade of Sovereign's blue dragon, I can say that the blue dragon is much stronger than the black variant dragon." Haotian said. 

Huang Xiaolong was surprised, a blue dragon martial spirit had never appeared on the Snow Wind Continent? Does this mean his blue dragon is unique, one of a kind?

Then Huang Xiaolong asked more questions about black dragon martial spirits.

A while later, both Haotian and Fei Hou left. 

After both of them left, Huang Xiaolong remained seated in the garden musing. Although he was unable to determine his martial spirits grade, he could confirm that it was above grade twelve. Huang Xiaolong then thought of Duanren Empire's Imperial City Battle, and Asura's Gate internal strife, and in the end, Li Lu crossed his mind.

"Better not to think too much about these things, it's better train harder." Huang Xiaolong stood up-- he wanted to breakthrough to Sixth Order before enrolling into the Cosmic Star Academy. 

Huang Xiaolong returned to his room and took out the cold jade bed, he sat on the bed and began to run Asura Tactics while the twin dragons appeared behind him, devouring the emerging netherworld spiritual aura. Battle qi roared in his meridians and veins and crashed against the sixth order barrier. 

The situation continued like this as time flowed on without notice. Then, out of nowhere, a crack resembling the sound of an egg shell breaking that only Huang Xiaolong could hear broke the silence. 

Joy was evident in Huang Xiaolong's eyes.

Sixth Order breakthrough! 

Battle qi flowed into wider meridians in waves through the body, flooding it with thicker battle qi.

The night passed. 

Huang Xiaolong came out of his room, did some light warm-ups, and headed to the garden. His palm suddenly struck an iron stake; and a one-inch dent with his palm print appeared on the iron stake, making it vibrate endlessly.

After advancing to the Sixth Order, Huang Xiaolong's battle qi now is equivalent to a dozen stones, and the strength of each palm reached two thousand jin. 

At the same time, Huang Xiaolong noticed that when his palm struck out, his muscles' explosive power was higher than it used to be and was much firmer. 

To test his power and strength after advancing to the Sixth Order, Huang Xiaolong leaped up, the twin blades appearing in Huang Xiaolong's hand, and he swung down. A myriad of sword rays transformed into a violent rain storm dominating the yard, the wind whistling as loud as thunder. 

Despite that, the strange thing was that even though the whole yard was in the storm area, the grass and flowers weren't affected, leading one to think that the attack did not affect the ground.

After the first strike, Huang Xiaolong swung the second strike; this time the myriad of sword lights became drizzles and each drop the size of a small fly. Without truly focusing, it was difficult to hear the sound of it.

The past few months of practice had increased his comprehension made understanding of Tears of Asura to rise even more.

He repeated this routine and two days were gone in a blink.

In these past two days, Huang Xiaolong did not once leave the yard. All his time was spent practicing the Asura Tactics, the Body Metamorphose Scripture, and the Tears of Asura. 

On the third day, Marshal Haotian came to see Huang Xiaolong with a recommendation letter for the Cosmic Star Academy. 

He stayed for a while, highlighting the things that Huang Xiaolong needed to pay attention to and then arranged for the same bodyguards to follow Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou to Cosmic Star Academy for enrollment.

The Cosmic Star Academy was located to the north of Royal City's center, not too far from the Marshal's Mansion. One hour later, the group of four arrived at the huge Cosmic Star Academy gates. 

What depressed Huang Xiaolong was that the moment he arrived, he ran into Li Lu's group who were there for the same reason. 

"Xiaolong!" exclaimed Li Lu when she spotted Huang Xiaolong at the gates, and just like she did the previous day, she ran into his arms.
