Chapter 2330 - 2322: Learned How to Joke

Fu Yunjie saw Huang Xiaolong successfully comprehend the seventh Holy Stele, and the Holy Light was so clear and radiant that he couldn’t help but clench his fists, his eyes flashing with hatred.

Huang Xiaolong arrived at the eighth Holy Stele.

"This kid, could he possibly comprehend even the eighth Holy Stele?" A strong individual who previously flattered Fu Yunjie couldn’t help but mutter.

"No one has been able to comprehend the eighth Holy Stele for over five million years! If Huang Xiaolong comprehends the eighth Holy Stele, that would be against the heavens!"

"Heh heh, even if he comprehends the eighth, so what? Do you really think a wastrel with a rank of nine hundred and sixty-eight Mixed Element Divine Dragon Saint Rank could truly comprehend so many Holy Steles? And each one in under a minute? All of this is definitely fake. Once he finishes the assessment, the Holy Heaven Law Enforcement Hall people will likely apprehend him for questioning!"

Some strong individuals whispered among themselves.

Although these people discussed quietly, they no longer dared to cause a commotion as before.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Huang Xiaolong placed his palm on the eighth Holy Stele.

The plaza fell silent.

Second by second passed.

Just like the seventh Holy Stele, after twenty seconds, the eighth Holy Stele suddenly burst with brilliance, holy light soaring to the sky, holy sound resonating, and layers of holy shadows formed.

Countless holy shadows appeared on the Holy Heaven Bridge, as if preaching the Holy Dao, chanting something.

The four supreme beings observing from the depths of the void were greatly shocked at the sight of the holy shadows.

"This kid is defying the heavens." Brother Long smiled wryly, "Why do I feel like a wastrel in front of this kid?"

The young man with stunning, eerie blue eyes also smiled wryly, "Don’t mention yourself; I feel the same way!"

He was deemed the second coming for the future of the Holy World!

Yet this future second felt an overwhelming sense of being a wastrel!

This feeling was so intense!

The Heavenly Lord laughed, "Stop mocking each other. What do you think — how long will Huang Xiaolong take to comprehend the twelfth Holy Stele?"

The last, emaciated old man chuckled, "I dare not speculate anymore. Previously, I estimated this kid would need fifteen seconds for the first Holy Stele, and he amazed us, completing it in one second, making me look foolish!"

Brother Long laughed, "Indeed, I and Brother Wu made fools of ourselves before, and now dare not speculate further."

"Back when I comprehended the twelfth Holy Stele, it took me forty-three minutes," the stunning young man mused, "This kid should need about twenty minutes."

Meanwhile, Wu Ge, Main Hall Master of Holy Heaven, Yu Mingjiang, Hall Master of Assessment Hall, and Du Chengrui, Vice Hall Master, listened to the conversation of the four supreme beings in shock.

The Holy Heaven Bridge has existed for so long, yet only these four supreme beings have comprehended the twelfth Holy Stele, and not even Li Chen, the most talented Holy Heaven Saint Son, could comprehend beyond the eleventh Stele.

But according to the four supreme beings, Huang Xiaolong could definitely comprehend the twelfth Holy Stele?!

Moreover, Lord Chu declared it would take only twenty minutes?!

While Wu Ge and the others were shocked to their core, the plaza crowd erupted in awe as they watched the eighth Holy Stele being comprehended, holy light shooting to the heavens, holy shadows layered densely.

Fu Yunjie’s eyes turned blood-red; this wastrel actually did comprehend the eighth Holy Stele!

According to the Holy Heaven regulations, someone who comprehends the sixth Holy Stele can join the Holy Heaven Organization and become a Holy Heaven Inner Sect Disciple, while those who comprehend the seventh Holy Stele can join as well and apprentice under an elder!

However, anyone who comprehends the eighth Holy Stele can apprentice under a Supreme Elder!

That Feng Yuanyuan saw Fu Yunjie’s blood-red eyes and said, "Brother Yunjie, you don’t need to worry. Even if Huang Xiaolong passes the eighth Holy Stele, he couldn’t possibly join the Holy Heaven Organization. How could a disciple with a Mixed Element Divine Dragon Saint Rank join? If the Holy Heaven Organization dared to accept such a wastrel, wouldn’t countless Holy Lands in the Holy World mock them?!"

Truth Saint Fan Xia also nodded, "That’s right, Yunjie. The Holy Heaven Organization cannot possibly recruit a wastrel disciple like Huang Xiaolong."

Listening to Truth Saint Fan Xia and Feng Yuanyuan’s discussion, Huang Xiaolong secretly sneered and approached the ninth Holy Stele.

Just like the seventh and eighth Holy Steles, after twenty seconds passed, the ninth Holy Stele again burst with brilliance, holy light shooting straight into the Nine Heavens, layered holy shadows, only the ninth Stele shadows were denser.

Comprehending the ninth Stele!

One can apprentice under a Vice Hall Master or Hall Master!

The plaza crowd exploded in louder commotion.

In a luxurious mansion somewhere in Holy Heaven City, numerous Holy Heaven Core Holy Sons were gathered, discussing various matters of the Holy World.

"Brother Li Chen, I heard the Evil Demon Palace recently recruited a female disciple named Tian Feng. Her talent is extremely high, likely not weaker than Dou Rui of the Evil Demon Palace in those days!" Saint Son Lin Yijia said.

Sitting in the central seat, Li Chen nodded in surprise, "If that’s the case, we should not underestimate Tian Feng."

Saint Son Xie Yao laughed, "Even if Tian Feng’s talent is no weaker than Dou Rui’s, it still doesn’t matter; Dou Rui was defeated by Brother Li Chen, let alone a new disciple of the Evil Demon Palace!"

"That’s right, Dou Rui’s talent is not even a tenth of Brother Li Chen’s. I believe our Brother Li Chen is the number one of the younger generation in the Holy World!" Another Saint Son, Chen Kaiping, laughed.

Just then, Saint Son Lin Yijia’s token trembled. He picked it up casually and froze, his expression strange, face full of disbelief.

"Brother Yijia, what’s up with you?" Saint Son Xie Yao noticed and curiously asked.

Lin Yijia glanced at everyone, his expression complex, "I just received a report from my subordinate, stating that someone just now comprehended the ninth Holy Stele on the Holy Heaven Bridge!"

"What?!" Everyone was slightly surprised.

The ninth Holy Stele hasn’t been comprehended by a disciple for a long time. Comprehending it binds one to the Holy Heaven Organization; with such talent, becoming a Holy Heaven Core Disciple is hardly questionable.

Li Chen was also surprised: "Why haven’t I received a report?"

Other Core Holy Sons felt similarly strange—given the time taken for comprehending the ninth Stele, they should have been informed by their subordinates.

Lin Yijia’s expression grew even more varied: "Because this person just participated in the second assessment round, he... he comprehended the first Holy Stele barely over a minute ago."

Just over a minute ago, he comprehended the first Holy Stele!!!

The hall was quiet enough to hear a falling leaf.

After quite a while, Saint Son Xie Yao suddenly laughed, "Brother Yijia, since when did you learn to joke around?"

Everyone else laughed too, even Li Chen shook his head with a smile; clearly, they all believed Lin Yijia was joking.

Just over a minute ago was the first comprehension, and now the ninth—this must be a joke, right?
