Chapter 97 - Xiao Xuan

Li Xiaopeng, who was about to explain, could ignore the gazes of others but would definitely not dare to ignore Wang Hao's words and actions.

With that look, the man's sharp eyes met hers, causing Li Xiaopeng's body to tremble, and he felt a sense of fear.

He whispered into Wang Hao's ear: "Young Master Wang, that's Xiao Xuan, the first of the two rankings for Flying Dragon Ranking and Hidden Dragon Rank."

"Ugh!" Wang Hao retracted his gaze, and suddenly realized something, laughing lightly he muttered: "No wonder you have such a sharp aura, your strength should be not bad, and you should be at least twice as strong as you!"

A bitter smile appeared on Li Xiaopeng's face as he explained, "That is for sure. Young Master Wang, you might not be clear about the difference in strength between the top ten of the Flying Dragon Ranking s yet, but let me explain it to you right now!"

The strength of the six to nine people does not differ much from mine, at most they are 10% stronger than me. The three people from three to five are probably 20 to 30% stronger than me, and are about the same strength as me right now. Among them, the three people from three to five are already promoted to the inner sect.

"Cough cough, my apologies, I was wrong when I said that!"

As if bragging about the fact that his strength had improved, Li Xiaopeng immediately coughed in apology, and blushed.

After all, with his little strength, showing off in front of Wang Hao was indeed something to be proud of.

Li Xiaopeng was very self-aware, even now, when he was given the chance to fight with the Wang Hao of the past, he wasn't even fifty percent sure that he would be able to win.

At that time, Wang Hao had defeated him in a frontal battle. If his abnormal speed was taken into account, Wang Hao's strength would definitely have increased by several fold.

Therefore, Li Xiaopeng was very sure that Wang Hao's true strength back then was at least on par with the genius of the third place.

And now, it was even harder for Li Xiaopeng to fathom it. Although it wasn't very obvious, standing next to Wang Hao, Li Xiaopeng could still more or less feel the power of vitality emitted from his body.

How strong must one's vital energy and blood be in order for others to be able to feel it just by standing?

Li Xiaopeng guessed that Wang Hao's body refining state had already reached its peak. Merely his body refining strength was enough to compete with his, let alone superimposing his strength.

At first, Wang Hao displayed the cultivation of Qi Disciple Level Ten, and after entering the sect for three months, he had gone from Qi Disciple Nine to Qi level 10. Now that half a year had passed, no one would be surprised if Wang Hao broke through to Qi Disciple Level Eleven.

"No problem, continue!" Wang Hao pursed his lips and chuckled.

Li Xiaopeng laughed awkwardly, and continued to speak: "With your strength, Young Master Wang, what you need to pay attention to is the first, and the second, Xie Changfeng. Look, the tall and skinny one is Xie Changfeng."

Li Xiaopeng pointed to a spot not far away.

Wang Hao turned his head to look, and very easily recognized Xie Changfeng.

Because Xie Changfeng was relatively tall, he was estimated to be more than 1.9 meters, yet his body was slightly thinner, looking at him, he looked as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind. In terms of appearance, he looked average, but because of his height, the shape of his face looked a little long.

The position that he occupied, happened to be on the other side of the stage, facing Xiao Xuan.

Seemingly feeling that Wang Hao was looking at him, he turned to look at his.

Their gazes met, and no sparks flew. Xie Changfeng smiled at Wang Hao and nodded.

It was a friendly greeting.

Sensing the goodwill from the other party, Wang Hao naturally did not go out of his way to make friends with a smiling person. Instead, he just smiled and lightly nodded his head.

Li Xiaopeng saw that Wang Hao had greeted him, and continued to speak: "The strength of these two people are far stronger than the rest of the outer sect disciples, it's just as you said just now, their strengths should be more than two times stronger than me. As for the difference between their strengths, it's extremely small, and after fighting for over a hundred moves last year, Xiao Xuan was only barely able to win a single move, but in terms of talent, Xiao Xuan is clearly stronger, because Xie Changfeng is nearly half a year older than Xiao Xuan."

"Currently, both of them are nineteen years old. Whether or not they can reach the Innate stage before the age of twenty, Xie Changfeng still has five months left. Xiao Xuan still has ten months."

At this time, Wang Hao laughed, "These two should be able to advance into the inner sect within a month after the annual Clan Assembly."

Hearing that, Li Xiaopeng's face changed, and his expression changed slightly.

However, the two of them were publicly acknowledged as the number one second genius in the outer sect. It was also within his expectations that they would be promoted to the inner sect within the next month.

"Accurately speaking, the two of them should have suppressed their cultivation, Xie Changfeng probably wants to compete with Xiao Xuan for the first place in the outer sect, as for Xiao Xuan …"

As Wang Hao said till here, he paused for a moment, and then smiled, "I'm afraid you've left it here for me!"

"This …"

Li Xiaopeng's expression changed completely, and asked worriedly: "Young Master Wang, you mean because of Xiao Hong's death, Xiao Xuan hated you, so he suppressed his cultivation, delayed his promotion, and prepared to harm you at the Clan Assembly?"

Wang Hao's face remained calm as he nodded, reminding his, "I do not care, but instead you, on account of you explaining it to me, I advise you to directly admit defeat if you were to meet Xiao Xuan!"

Li Xiaopeng was startled for a moment. He did not understand what was going on, but he quickly thought of the crux of the matter and immediately replied with gratitude. Thank you, Young Master Wang, for your advice! "

It was only after Wang Hao mentioned it that Li Xiaopeng realized that he was also responsible for Xiao Hong's death.

If he hadn't promised Xiao Hong and the other two that he would deal with Wang Hao, Xiao Hong probably wouldn't have died under Qu Qiuyue's arrow. After all, Qu Qiuyue was his woman at that time.

If he and his men could kill Wang Hao in one hit, no matter how the investigation and punishment was later carried out in the inner sect, Xiao Hong at least wouldn't die because of this accident.

Furthermore, if he was just a bit stronger, and was able to stop Wang Hao, then Qu Qiuyue would not even need to make a move. Even if he did, the arrow would be swung towards Xiao Hong, but as long as he did not lose, he would be able to block the arrow.

In short, the death of Xiao Hong, meant that Li Xiaopeng had a greater responsibility than him.

Wang Hao laughed, "Tell me about the process and rules of the annual gathering!"

Li Xiaopeng restrained his emotions and explained the related matters of the annual Clan Assembly clearly: "The annual Clan Assembly is divided into three main processes, the first round is the audition, and every year there will be an annual Clan Assembly presided over and judged by three Inner Deacon s. They will bring a total of ten energy balls, which are able to test the strength of the attack!"

"The power of an attack is mainly determined by the color of the energy ball. From low to high, they are red, green, blue, purple, and gold!"

"Everyone in a group of ten, unleash your strongest attack towards the energy ball. If you can light up the red, you'll be able to enter the second round."
