Chapter 949: I Also Held Her Hand
The Creation Ancestor wants to accept ten registered disciples?
Huang Xiaolong was stunned, he didn't really know about this matter.
At this moment, Huang Xiaolong finally understood why so many family disciples had gathered here.
Even though it's only as registered disciples and not direct disciples, given the Creation Ancestor's status, even becoming a registered disciple would make one's standing in the family rise dramatically.
"Brother, are you really not here to sign up?" the family disciple asked Huang Xiaolong again.
Huang Xiaolong nodded: "No."
"Then what are you here for?" The family disciple asked puzzled.
"I'm here to meet someone." Huang Xiaolong didn't say it was Li Lu.
Hearing this, the family disciple looked Huang Xiaolong up and down, then smiled mysteriously: "Meet someone? Could it be a woman? Is it the Ice Dream Beauty Li Lu?"
"Ice Dream Beauty Li Lu?" Huang Xiaolong was startled; Ice Dream Beauty? Li Lu has this nickname?
The family disciple laughed: "How is it? I hit the mark, didn't I? Don't deny it. Actually, there's nothing to feel embarrassed about it. Though we are here to undergo the assessment for the Creation Ancestor's registered disciples, actually many family disciples are simply here to see the Ice Dream Beauty Li Lu."
"The Creation Ancestor only accepts ten registered disciples; it's very difficult to pass the assessment. We heard that this time there are three stages, and the second stage is hosted by the Ice Dream Beauty Li Lu. Even if we don't pass the assessment, catching a glimpse of the legendary Ice Dream Beauty Li Lu is a delightful thing!"
"It is said that the Ice Dream Beauty is indescribably beautiful. There was once a disciple of the Wangu Clan who accidentally saw Li Lu once and became obsessed with her beauty while cultivating, ultimately driving themselves insane. Now, they act like a lunatic."
The family disciple babbled nonstop, talking so much that spittle flew.
Huang Xiaolong was speechless.
Although Li Lu is indeed beautiful, saying her beauty drives people mad seems a bit exaggerated!
At this point, another family disciple chimed in: "Unfortunately, Li Lu, the prime cabbage, has been favored by Huang Xiaolong, and we can only look, not touch."
"That's true, I've heard that Devil Son Mo Su was slapped to death by Huang Xiaolong for harassing Li Lu!" the previous family disciple interjected: "If it were us, Huang Xiaolong wouldn't need a slap; just half a finger could kill us!"
"Half a finger? Huang Xiaolong doesn't even need to lift a finger; a single breath from him could blow you to death!"
Around them, some family disciples couldn't help chiming in when they heard Huang Xiaolong mentioned.
Huang Xiaolong just shook his head with a smile and wasn't angry.
"Do you think Li Lu has actually been together with Huang Xiaolong?" The prior family disciple suddenly lowered their voice, saying to the surrounding family disciples, and made a gesture, an 'X' hand sign.
"Hard to say, rumors outside say Li Lu and Huang Xiaolong have known each other since childhood, the two being childhood sweethearts, and it's said Li Lu was already with Huang Xiaolong when she was a teenager!" Another family disciple lowered their voice.
"Nonsense! During the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance competition, even though Li Lu's face is covered by a thin veil, making her appearance unclear, many can tell she's still untainted!" A family disciple couldn't help but retort.
The surrounding family disciples continued discussing more and more exaggeratedly.
Huang Xiaolong smiled wryly.
What is this nonsense?
Huang Xiaolong clear-throated and said: "Actually, I've seen Li Lu's appearance."
Immediately, all the disciples stopped their discussion and looked at Huang Xiaolong.
"Brother, really?!" The former family disciple looked at Huang Xiaolong, thrilled yet doubtful.
"I even held her hand," Huang Xiaolong said with a serious face.
At once, those disciples who were initially looking at Huang Xiaolong uttered "tsk" sounds and didn't pay him any more attention.
At this moment, several disciples of the Creation Gate flew over from the summit of the Creation Divine Mountain, their strength not weak, all at the middle-level divine.
A middle-aged disciple from the Creation Gate started speaking: "Are you all here to register for our ancestor's registered disciple assessment? Well, follow me then."
Upon hearing this, the family disciples took flight to follow behind.
Huang Xiaolong hesitated for a moment but then also took flight and followed.
Since the second stage is hosted by Li Lu, it's all good, he'll go through the assessment; after all, it won't take much time.
On the way, that middle-aged disciple from the Creation Gate introduced himself to everyone; his name was Wu Gen, and he was responsible for hosting the first stage of the assessment.
Soon, Huang Xiaolong and the family disciples followed Wu Gen and several Creation Gate disciples to the front of a mountain peak.
In front of this mountain peak was a tunnel entrance leading directly to the back of the mountain.
Wu Gen pointed to the tunnel entrance and said: "The first stage is a test of willpower. As long as you can pass through the Illusion Realm Array at the tunnel within a day, you'll pass the first stage."
No matter how high one's talent, if one's heart, spirit, and will aren't strong, their future achievements will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, one's will is also very important.
Following Wu Gen's words, a family disciple swiftly stepped into the Illusion Realm Array at the tunnel entrance.
Seeing this, the family disciples all entered as well.
Huang Xiaolong mingled among them and entered the tunnel.
"Senior Brother, how many of these family disciples do you think will pass the first stage?" A Creation Gate disciple asked Wu Gen.
Wu Gen replied: "Of the family disciples who signed up, there are more than thirty thousand people. Hence, if three hundred can pass, that would be quite good."
The Illusion Realm Array in the tunnel entrance is not an ordinary Illusion Realm Array; it requires very strong willpower.
"I heard Senior Brother Wu Gen took just over six hours to pass through," another Creation Gate disciple commented.
Wu Gen smiled: "Six hours is nothing. Junior Sister Li Lu also passed through this Illusion Realm Array using only half an hour."
The Creation Ancestor altogether has seven direct disciples; Wu Gen is the fifth disciple, while Li Lu is the seventh.
The other disciples of the Creation Gate are just registered disciples of the Creation Ancestor.
"Half an hour!" The registered disciples of the Creation Ancestor exclaimed in shock.
Wu Gen nodded and sighed: "Indeed, only half an hour. Back then, the eldest brother took two hours; probably no one can break Junior Sister Li Lu's record!"
Just then, suddenly, the tunnel entrance glowed and vibrated.
Wu Gen and his group were stunned initially, then greatly shocked; this! It's usually during someone passing through the Illusion Realm Array that the tunnel entrance glows and vibrates.
Could it be?!
But how much time has passed?
Three minutes? Or four minutes?
Then Wu Gen and his group saw a young black-haired man walking out from the tunnel exit.
Unbelievably, someone truly passed! Wu Gen and his group felt their tongues stiffen.
"Senior Brother, wouldn't the Illusion Realm Array have malfunctioned?" A disciple stammered.
Wu Gen came back to his senses, shook his head: "Impossible." The Illusion Realm Array can't malfunction; he watched Huang Xiaolong, feeling a storm of shock within.
"Then should we report this matter to the Ancestor?" Another disciple asked, unable to hide his inner shock. (To be continued.
