The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 1132 - Chapter 1132 Chapter 1132 Its My Turn to Appear

Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132: It’s My Turn to Appear! Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132: It’s My Turn to Appear! Huang Xiaolong finally saw with his own eyes the person known as the strongest genius in the overseas cultivators’ world today, the peerless prodigy Nangong Hong.

He was a young man dressed in a plain long robe, not yet thirty, walking through the air as if strolling leisurely in a courtyard. With every step he took, the air beneath his feet would solidify, blooming into a lotus flower.

With each step, a lotus was born!

His gaze, much like that of a deity, made the nature’s spiritual energy of any location follow behind him as he walked, as if he were a born sovereign. His aura was disdainful towards the world, spanning all directions, proudly insufferable, akin to an emperor on an inspection tour. He also seemed to attract everyone’s attention. At this moment, his presence caused the vast area, even the entire Xueyu Island, to fall into a solemn quiet. Everyone was watching him, even the powerful individuals within the bronze ancient halls were no exception.

His presence captivated every person!

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Heh heh, interesting. Definitely strong. He can be my opponent.”

This was Nangong Hong.

Without any exaggeration, for a young person to be this outrageously strong, he could truly be considered a real prodigy. Of course, compared to the cheat-like Huang Xiaolong, he still couldn’t compare.

On the surface, Nangong Hong appeared to be in the late stages of the Heavenly Tribulation realm, but Huang Xiaolong’s invincible divine sense had already seen through the truth!

Inside his body, a terrifying power was being suppressed! Once released, it was equivalent to at least a dozen volcanoes erupting simultaneously!

‘He has already broken through.’ Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly. “This fellow has already passed the last heavenly tribulation of the Tribulation realm and stepped into the supreme Divine Presence realm, becoming a young giant who dominates the region. However, he has suppressed most of his strength and created the illusion of being in the late stages of the Tribulation realm. Moreover, he’s using a magical treasure to conceal the aura of that primordial might within his body, so even giants like Elder Lan Yue cannot see through him…”

Huang Xiaolong had long heard that Nangong Hong was in seclusion recently, attempting to break through to another realm, and no one knew if he would succeed. As a matter of fact, he truly did. Yet, he was playing his cards close to his chest, deliberately concealing his progress.

What was he planning to do?

Nothing more than showing off!

He wanted to reveal his Divine Presence realm cultivation during the most crucial, intense, and exciting moment of the Genius Battle of the Hidden Dragon List, creating an earth-shattering effect that would make people worship and submit.

He wanted to become the unique focus of today.

All who arrived today would become mere foils, serving to highlight Nangong Hong’s brilliant and valorous deeds.

“Such a show-off… But sorry, today this young master is here, and inevitably, I will disappoint you~~ Hehe.” Huang Xiaolong laughed in a strange tone. “With me around, all geniuses will dim, fade away, including you, Nangong Hong!”

The appearance and momentum of Nangong Hong indeed ignited the competitive spirit submerged within Huang Xiaolong’s subconscious. Well~~ Huang Xiaolong was a young man after all, full of youthful vigor.

Besides, Huang Xiaolong also felt a multitude of disaster auras and countless resentments emanating from Nangong Hong.

It seemed that the Cultivation Technique he practiced was related to “disasters.”

“Good, Nangong Hong, now that you’ve arrived, all the expected attendees have made their entrance.” An ancient, desolate, and authoritative old voice hovered over the skies of Xueyu Island. “Nangong Hong, enter your room.”

Nangong Hong did not speak and, with a cold demeanor, transformed into a streak of light, directly entering one of the private rooms in the area designated for the competing geniuses.

Boom boom boom~~ Boom boom boom~~

Another round of bell tolls resounded over the main battlefield area.

When the bell sounds ceased, the lingering sound carried a tranquilizing power, and the entire main battlefield immediately fell silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

That authoritative old voice continued. “Alright, everyone, this year’s Genius Battle of the Hidden Dragon List is about to commence. Without further ado, I urge all competing geniuses to display your true strength without pretense, to strive for the top and advance bravely. It is my hope that you will secure the ranking on the Hidden Dragon List that you desire.”

Whoosh~~~!!!!

With a sound, a yellow list appeared suddenly in the emptiness of the main battlefield.

On the yellow list, names were inscribed in glittering gold letters, with three large characters at the top: “Hidden Dragon List”~!

Below those three characters were densely packed names.

The name at the forefront, the most glaring and standing out among the rest, occupied a row all to itself–“Nangong Hong”~!

This name, overpowering all the others on the list, solidly secured the first spot.

Apart from “Nangong Hong,” there were 105 other names listed.

This…

You should know, the Hidden Dragon List should rightfully contain 108 names in total.

Yet now, including Nangong Hong, there were only 106 names.

Two were missing!

However, Huang Xiaolong soon understood that Ling Xiaopeng, who was formerly ranked 97th, had been killed by himself. Another one, Pu Gonglin, who was ranked within the top thirty, had also had his cultivation wasted by Huang Xiaolong.

Hmm, not counting these two, there were exactly 106 names.

For this, Huang Xiaolong felt somewhat of a sense of achievement, as the list that should have had 108 names was now somewhat incomplete because of him. This was quite satisfying!

Huang Xiaolong also saw some familiar names, such as Duanmu Wei, Xia Ding, Huangfu Tianjiao, Shi Feng, and so on~~~!

In addition, the list was enveloped by myriad streams of dawn light and thousands of auspicious streaks, rolling and radiating an immense mana, making the list seem like a magical treasure.

All present fixed their gazes on the list floating in the void. Especially the younger generation, whose eyes shone with fervor and excitement, as well as aspiration and reverence.

This list, and the names upon it, truly represented an immeasurable honor and a dazzling future!

It was truly stirring!

The ancient and desolate voice continued its announcement. “Due to some special reasons, this year’s Hidden Dragon List lacks two geniuses. After deliberation among us, we have decided to select two candidates with the strongest realms from the other competitors to temporarily fill these vacancies. Of course, this is only a temporary measure.”

“Those are–Shushan’s Sword Sect’s Tribulation Realm Early Stage Genius ‘Zhou Chu,’ and Kongtong Sect’s Late Divine Skills Realm’s ‘Zhu Yuanhong’~~~”

No sooner had the words fallen than two new names immediately appeared on the Hidden Dragon List.

Reaching the number of 108.

Subsequently, the elder spoke again, “Attention to all participating geniuses, our Hidden Dragon List’s Battle of Geniuses has been held I don’t know how many times, and the rules are always being refined. This time, we have introduced a new rule, which is…during the competition, geniuses are not allowed to use magical artifacts. You must rely on your own strength to battle! Yes, you heard right, no magical artifacts are allowed!”

As soon as this statement was made, it inevitably caused a wave of quiet discussions in the main battlefield–

“Why change the rules all of a sudden?”

“Every time the Hidden Dragon List competition is held, magical artifacts are allowed; there was no prior notice this time.”

“It seems the rule change was made last minute.”

“Actually, it’s good not to use magical artifacts. Some geniuses really benefited from their magical artifacts and won relying on them. Now, without the magical artifacts, everyone will fight on their true abilities, with their Cultivation Techniques, directly suppressing with their realms, and engage in close combat–it’ll be exciting.”

“Look at you talking. In fact, magical artifacts are also part of a cultivator’s strength. A duel without magical artifacts will inevitably affect the excitement of this genius battle.”

…

“Saying all of a sudden that magical artifacts are not allowed,” Huang Xiaolong muttered to himself, a sudden spark of insight flashing in his mind. “Could it be they are targeting me on purpose?”

Huang Xiaolong’s thoughts were not without basis.

After all, the last time, with the help of his magical artifact, the Divine Descent Bell, Huang Xiaolong annihilated the entire Baiyun City, slaughtering an island single-handedly like a demon.

When the Divine Descent Bell tolled, even the City Lord Luo Weixiong, who was hailed as one of the strongest below the Heavenly Aspect Realm, ended up with bones disintegrated and cremated.

At the time, there were quite a few watching the battle in nearby regions.

The fact that Huang Xiaolong possessed a top-tier magical artifact, a deadly weapon, might have reached the ears of certain individuals. And these people just might be able to control a part of the Hidden Dragon List competition’s rules to some extent.

Thus, they abruptly announced the ban on using magical artifacts.

Indeed, it was targeting Huang Xiaolong.

“Shushan Sword Sect?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered as he speculated.

However, it no longer mattered, whether he used magical artifacts or not, Huang Xiaolong was more than capable of handling any situation!

“Alright, the rules and various matters have been announced. Now, please, the 108 geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List at first enter the arena!”

Silence!

The geniuses were about to enter the arena! To ascend the stage!

The entire main battlefield fell instantly silent.

The next moment–

Swish~~~ Swish~~~ Swish~~~ Swish~~~~

Streaks of light flew out from the private boxes, heading toward the battle stage below!

One after another, geniuses of extraordinary talent and stunning grace made their entrance!

Huang Xiaolong also saw familiar faces like Dumu Wei, Huangfu Tianjiao, Son of the Falling Snow, and others.

However, Nangong Hong had not appeared.

The sky filled with swirling clouds and dazzling colors, making for a spectacular scene.

Over a hundred geniuses, each with their own style, momentum, and defiant spirit. They refused to accept defeat or play second fiddle to others, and for a moment, provocative stares clashed and auras competed fiercely.

Even before the fight had started, it stirred an atmosphere of a looming storm poised to sweep over the building.

If one were strong enough with their mental power, they might even notice faint sparks of electricity flickering in the void, a manifestation of colliding auras and opposition.

Soon, these geniuses landed on the vast plaza below the spectator stands, which was also the battle stage.

They lined up neatly and orderly.

The only one missing was Nangong Hong.

It seemed that Nangong Hong was an exception, not bound by the common rules.

“Next, please, those who are eligible to challenge the geniuses on the list, come forward!”

No sooner had the words been spoken–

With a whoosh, the floor-to-ceiling window in Huang Xiaolong’s box began to shine with rune lights, and a portal cracked open across the entire piece of glass.

Swish swish swish~~~ Swish swish swish~~~

From the other private boxes, the geniuses who had gained the qualification to challenge began to stream out.

“Hey~~ It’s my turn to enter!” Huang Xiaolong rubbed his hands together excitedly, clenching his fists in anticipation, then leaped down with a spring in his step!
