The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 1049

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Challenge the Hidden Dragon List! Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Challenge the Hidden Dragon List! At this moment, Huang Xiaolong stood with an intense aura, rising from the ground, towering and imposing.

He was still incessantly inheriting dragon power.

His aura kept soaring unrestrained, impossible to curb.

In an instant, Huang Xiaolong had actually suppressed Huangfu Tianjiao and the other four prodigies from the Hidden Dragon List in terms of aura!

In fact, this island was a remnant of the Dragon Heritage. Practitioners who came to this island had their mana and even their realms suppressed.

Now, having inherited innumerable dragon forces, Huang Xiaolong had virtually become the master of the island, pressing down on Huangfu Tianjiao and the others with the authority of a host!

Behind Huang Xiaolong, the dragon aura shone like a proud sun, and like a massive fireball, casting the entire island in a ruddy glow. The might of the dragon loomed, everyone was filled with trepidation! Within that ball of dragon fire, numerous dragon-shaped phantoms swam about.

The number of dragon-shaped phantoms was so vast that it was dense and terrifying at a glance, with each phantom exuding an earth-shaking murderous aura!

“Hmph!” Huangfu Tianjiao, along with Young Master Xuexue, Teng Tian Song, and Zhuangzi Xiu, the four great talents, simultaneously unleashed their mana, forming surging mana rivers overhead, with countless tiny, twisted runes swirling in the rivers.

They spurred their mana to resist Huang Xiaolong’s dragon might.

“Hahaha~~ interesting, very interesting,” Teng Tian Song suddenly laughed. “Fine. Today has truly been an eye-opener. Originally, I had lost this game to Huangfu Tianjiao and was supposed to give him the highest quality magical artifact I possessed. Now that you’ve joined the fray~~ well, it doesn’t matter who I lose it to, right? This is a ‘Divine Punishment Whip,’ albeit a fake, but its power is decent. It can easily injure a cultivator in the early stages of the Tribulation Crossing. Now, I shall concede it to you~~~”
Teng Tian Song took out a small copper whip from his bosom and casually threw it towards Huang Xiaolong, who was standing on the altar.

The man, on the surface, appeared to be magnanimous.

Huang Xiaolong chuckled, casually reaching out to catch the copper whip. The whip was only the size of a thumb, shrouded in mist and hidden gleams, with ancient twisted runes etched all over it. Even without using it, one could feel the immense power contained within.

Indeed, it was a top-grade magical artifact. Its quality surpassed all of the flying swords Huang Xiaolong had plundered!

Huang Xiaolong didn’t stand on ceremony; he directly cleansed the whip with mana, erasing the markings that had been branded upon it.

For a moment, Teng Tian Ge furrowed his brow as a sensation like flaying his own flesh surged in his heart. He forced a smile. “I am a man who honors his bets. Hmm~~ Actually, now that you have taken my magical artifact, it’s not too bad. Cultivators, if they always rely on magical artifacts, their own cultivation will hardly improve. Now that I have no magical artifact, perhaps, this year I can make a breakthrough to the Tribulation Passing Realm.”

After a pause, Teng Tian Ge’s voice grew colder, “However, my possessions are not so easily taken. This time, since you have inherited so much dragon power, you will undoubtedly rise to fame in the overseas cultivators’ world. I see, your real age is even a few years younger than us. Before reaching 30 years old, you can participate in the Hidden Dragon List competition to strive for a place on the list, or even fight for a ranking. With your flashy nature, you will surely take part in this year’s Hidden Dragon List competition, won’t you? Fine! Since that’s the case, I will wait for you on the Hidden Dragon List! I want to defeat you personally, and take back everything you took from me, with interest!”

“Oh? The Hidden Dragon List competition? I will definitely join, and I will take first place for sure,” Huang Xiaolong said matter-of-factly.

“Hahaha~~~” Upon hearing this, Huangfu Tianjiao burst into a tremendous laugh, but within that laughter was also a great deal of jealousy!

“It’s just inheriting some dragon power. You’re getting cocky? You want to vie for a ranking on the Hidden Dragon List? Hahaha~~ It’s truly naive! Ridiculous!” Huangfu Tianjiao sneered repeatedly. “How did you come by this power? Don’t you know in your heart? It’s all luck! You merely stumbled upon it! A true powerhouse elevates step by step with perseverance, with immense willpower, immense talent, continually slaying Heart Demons, refining vigor, essence, and spirit until they are razor-sharp… Your current situation is like that of a nouveau riche, when faced with a true genius, you’ll be as soft as mud and easily defeated!”

Huangfu Tianjiao spoke with growing fervor and authority. “The four of us are unbeatable within our own realms, and we can even battle beyond our levels, killing those above us. What can you, a nouveau riche, possibly have to compare with us?”

His words sounded just and righteous, causing the thousands of cultivators watching in the square to nod in agreement.

Now, Huang Xiaolong had fortuitously stumbled upon incredible strength, while the cultivators present had painstakingly cultivated to their current realms, facing great dangers and near-death experiences along the way. It was not easy for them to obtain their strength today, so they naturally envied and even resented Huang Xiaolong, the “nouveau riche” who obtained strength without effort, uniting them in common enmity against him!

“Hahaha~~ What a joke,” Huang Xiaolong said with a face full of mockery. “That sounds very noble indeed. The world of overseas cultivators is vast and boundless. You so-called geniuses of the Hidden Dragon List, thinking yourselves invincible within your realm and capable of killing beyond it, you put on airs and look down on others. In reality, you have tunnel vision! Not to mention whether or not you will survive to grow into magnates… In this vast overseas world, you probably don’t even know if there are reclusive supreme experts who disdain to fight with you and compete for a position on the Hidden Dragon List!”

Huang Xiaolong’s words struck to the heart.

And they were not without basis.

Indeed, the world of overseas cultivators is turbulent and mysterious. Perhaps, as Huang Xiaolong said, there were indeed some hidden geniuses who never thought to appear on the Hidden Dragon List to fight for empty glory, thus leaving opportunities for the likes of Huangfu Tianjiao to take advantage.

“Huangfu Tianjiao, is it? No matter how talented you claim to be, you are still just in the late stage of the Divine Skills Realm. I want to ask you, what right do you have to evaluate me? Is the power obtained through luck inferior to power cultivated by you? Hahahaha~~ You have no right to say such things! If you were a giant in the Heavenly Law Physique Realm, or even at the Immortal Realm, then I might believe your words to some extent. But, you’re just a piece of trash in the late stage of the Divine Skills Realm, and you dare to speak so boldly in front of me? Well, I’ll just have to take it as, you’re breaking wind!” Huang Xiaolong was truly mocking Huangfu Tianjiao, speaking his mind. “Besides, I remind you of something, luck is also a manifestation of strength!”

Pff~~~~!

Huangfu Tianjiao, when mocked by Huang Xiaolong, almost spat out a mouthful of old blood in frustration!

It was infuriating!

He actually couldn’t find words to rebut Huang Xiaolong!

“Sharp-tongued!” Luoxue’s son gritted his teeth and snarled viciously.

“Enough of the nonsense. There are many witnesses here. Since you’ve lost, produce your best-quality magical treasure. No going back on your word,” Huang Xiaolong said lightly.

Huangfu Tianjiao’s face was a storm of emotions!

His highest-quality magical treasure was an ancient flying sword with dozens of offensive and defensive Formations engraved on it, extremely formidable. It could be said that Huangfu Tianjiao’s ranking of 45 on the Dragon Hidden List owed much to this flying sword!

Now, as Huang Xiaolong demanded the flying sword, it truly pained him!

No, it wasn’t just painful. It hurt in the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys too!

“You… you…” Huangfu Tianjiao trembled with rage!

However, in front of so many people, Huangfu Tianjiao couldn’t commit the shameless act of going back on his promise. He prided himself as a peerless genius and cherished his reputation greatly. If he didn’t want to hand over the flying sword, he would have to kill everyone here! Silence them all!

But clearly, that was impossible!

Furthermore, on this island, Huangfu Tianjiao’s realm and Mana were suppressed, unable to unleash his full strength, not to mention bursting forth even half of his usual power.

It was simply unwise to make a move against Huang Xiaolong, who had just inherited dragon power and was at his peak.

After much deliberation, Huangfu Tianjiao finally took out an ancient flying sword and said to Huang Xiaolong in a voice filled with suppressed sorrow, “This year’s Dragon Hidden List competition, do you dare to come? Do you dare to fight?”

“Eh~~~” Huang Xiaolong paused momentarily. “Why are you asking this?”

“I, Huangfu Tianjiao, now challenge you to a duel!!!!!” Huangfu Tianjiao’s face twisted into something terrible and ghostly. “I want to fight you to the death at the Dragon Hidden List competition! No rest until one of us is dead!”

“Pfft~~ Don’t get agitated. Stay calm. It’s just asking for a magical treasure. What’s there to get excited about? Seems like you’re really narrow-minded,” Huang Xiaolong said with a carefree laugh. “Alright, alright, as you wish. I will participate in the Dragon Hidden List competition. If you want to fight, I definitely won’t back down.”

“Good! Heaven above, Earth below, I, Huangfu Tianjiao, swear that in this year’s Dragon Hidden List competition, I must kill this man! If I don’t kill him, I, Huangfu Tianjiao, will kill myself immediately and vanish into ash and smoke forever! Everyone present is a witness! Should I, Huangfu Tianjiao, break my word, may heaven and earth annihilate me, and both gods and men slay me!” Huangfu Tianjiao’s eyes were full of spite as he spat out each word.

After making his poisonous oath, he finally threw the flying sword to Huang Xiaolong.

This was his treasured possession, and now it was out of his hands. Once word got out, he would certainly be the butt of jokes. To regain his honor, he could only kill Huang Xiaolong in front of countless witnesses and personally take back the flying sword!

Huang Xiaolong casually caught the flying sword, weighed it in hand, and nodded repeatedly. “Good, good, indeed a fine sword! This flying sword contains dozens of rather good Formations. A wonderful item~~”
“Remember, hold on to this flying sword tightly, don’t let anyone take it. In the battle of the Dragon Hidden List, I will retrieve the flying sword from your corpse. Humph, let’s go!”

Huangfu Tianjiao, having lost all face, led his subordinates and fluttered away on the clouds.

They departed in utter defeat!

The remaining two geniuses, Luoxue’s son handed over his ‘Sun Divine Needle’ to Huang Xiaolong, while Zhuangzi Xiu gave him a gourd, his magical treasure.

Then, Tengtian Song, Luoxue’s son, and Zhuangzi Xiu, all in a furious and frustrated state, followed Huangfu Tianjiao’s lead, commanding their underlings to flee on the clouds.

As they left, they all dropped threatening words–
“See you at the Dragon Hidden List competition. Hope you don’t chicken out.”

“There’s no need for Huangfu Tianjiao to act; I’ll thrash you!”

“I will tear you into a million pieces!”

…

Huang Xiaolong paid no attention to these four geniuses. At this time, finally, the dragon head on the altar stopped spewing dragon-shaped shadows.

At last, the ritual for Huang Xiaolong to inherit the dragon power had ended.

Both his wives and the three little demons couldn’t wait to rush to the altar, shouting eagerly, “How many strands of dragon power did you inherit in total?”

…
