Chapter 101: Breakthrough − The Ninth Order
"Replying to Sovereign, there is still no news of Master." Marshal Haotian reported and his face showed a worried expression, "Please punish this Subordinate!" These past two years, he failed to find news or the whereabouts of his Master, and this made him feel ashamed to face Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong shook his head, "This matter can't be blamed on you, stand up."
"This Subordinate thanks Sovereign!" Marshal Haotian said.
Huang Xiaolong fell into a contemplative mood.
If there was no accident, two years was enough for Yu Ming to reach the Asura's Gate headquarters in Starcloud Continent and back. However, until now, Yu Ming had not come back and that could only mean one thing− Yu Ming met with some problems.
Although he couldn't confirm that Yu Ming's disappearance was related to his Senior Brother, the Main Domain Chief of Asura's Gate, Chen Tianqi, what he was sure of at the moment was that Chen Tianqi still didn't about his existence. Otherwise, Chen Tianqi would surely send people here to kill him and snatch the Asura Ring away.
However, sooner or later Chen Tianqi would come to know about him. Thus, Huang Xiaolong must make preparations in advance.
Strength, he needed more strength.
Despite possessing superb talent twin martial spirits and the number nine Heavenly Treasure, the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, which contributed to his unbelievable cultivation speed, about ten to twenty times faster than normal people, to Xiaolong, it was still too slow.
Huang Xiaolong must at least be a Saint realm warrior when facing Chen Tianqi to be able to protect himself.
Saint realm!
Not to mention the Luo Tong Kingdom, even the neighboring kingdoms do not have a Saint realm expert. To break through to the Saint realm was easier said than done. The famous number one expert of the Duanren Empire, the Duanren Emperor, possessing a top grade thirteen martial spirit was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he stepped into the Saint realm.
Thinking about this, Xiaolong frowned.
At this point in time, he wanted to increase his strength faster and the only way was to subdue more Heavenly Treasures. At the moment, the only Heavenly Treasure location that he knew of was the number four at Duanren Institute, the Absolute Soul Pearl.
In short, he urgently needed to breakthrough to the Tenth Order; as long as he could breakthrough to the Tenth Order, he was confident that he could capture the overall Academy championship and proceed to participate in the Imperial City Battle.
At that time, he would have the chance to search and conquer the Absolute Soul Pearl.
Furthermore, by becoming a student of the Duanren Institute, he was allowed to purchase a mansion in the Imperial City, thereby relocating his parents and little siblings there wasn't an issue and it would be much safer than the Luo Tong Kingdom.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong fall into deep contemplation, Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou dared not interrupt.
Moments later, Xiaolong came out from his pensiveness and asked Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou about the information for Baolong Kingdom's Big Sword Sect and the Martial Ning Family.
The two of them reported all they knew.
In the past years, Big Sword Sect had indeed sent people over to assassinate Huang Xiaolong's parents several times, but both remained safe under the protection of the Marshal Mansion's guards. And since that year Huang Xiaolong killed Ning Fei of the Martial Ning Family during his class advancement test at the kingdom's border, the Martial Ning Family's Patriarch, Ning Wang also sent people to assassinate Huang Xiaolong and his family a few times.
