Chapter 86: Marching to the Imperial Capital!

Luo Shuiyan did not speak of these matters, so none of them asked.

After all, everyone has their own opportunities and secrets.

Time flew by, and soon a month passed in the blink of an eye.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for continuing to slack off and refuse to make progress despite becoming the leader of a large faction... 60,000 EXP rewarded!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for leveling up. Current level: 43!"

Amidst the system's notification sounds, Jiang Che slowly stretched his body.

Without realizing it, he had already become a powerful level 43 Spirit Beast!

At this level, he could no longer be considered weak, even in the Hundred Schools League.

The most crucial point was that Jiang Che had not spent his days in bitter cultivation like other Spirit Beasts.

He spent every day lying in Luo Shuiyan's arms or on her lap, finding all sorts of ways to rest.

During this time, Jiang Che even discovered that Yi Zimeng's arms were equally comfortable.

When Luo Shuiyan was refining pills, Jiang Che would jump into Yi Zimeng's arms.

Yi Zimeng's charming, moving face and her towering peaks made Jiang Che's beast blood boil every single time.

Although he might not always get a good night's sleep, this kind of life was exceptionally happy.

It was just a pity to Jiang Che that he had no chance to go to that mature older sister Xue Bingning again to experience the feeling of being squeezed by the valley; during this month, Jiang Che had obtained another piece of Kirin Essence Blood through the system.

Now, the purity of his Kirin Divine Beast bloodline had reached fifteen percent!

Jiang Che could clearly feel that although his outward appearance remained unchanged,

his physical strength had undergone a qualitative improvement compared to before!

His level had not changed much, but his combat power had increased by more than just a little.

With the blood of the Kirin flowing through his body, Jiang Che was confident that even without using skills, he could easily beat those Spirit Beasts to the ground.

"Hmm, have I already become the leader of a large faction?"

Jiang Che noticed that the system's Entry had changed once again, and he could not help but feel very gratified.

Within this month, through his rise to fame in the Individual Tournament,

the Zhatian Gang now had three halls.

Under the recruitment efforts of the three hall masters—Little Tiger, Cailin, and Ayin—the number of underlings in the gang grew at an extraordinary speed.

Jiang Che arrived in the villa courtyard and saw that it was densely packed with Spirit Beasts.

It was so crowded that the villa courtyard could not contain them, and they had spilled out onto the road outside.

That scene was nothing short of spectacular.

And this was with all the numerous Spirit Beasts having shrunk their size; if they had returned to their combat forms, it would have been a veritable beast tide! "Hehe, Boss, the underlings are all waiting for you to give them a lecture!"

The usually majestic and awe-inspiring master of Weihu Hall was now extremely respectful, even a bit reserved, in front of Jiang Che.

Little Tiger had truly learned the ways of the world during this period.

He knew very well how to help Jiang Che establish prestige in front of the many underlings.

Among the many underlings present, more than half had been recruited by Little Tiger.

"Everyone, today I and your several hall masters are about to set off for the Imperial Capital to compete with the heroes of the world!"

"We will be away for a period of time. I hope you will all cultivate diligently; do not lose face for me, and do not lose face for our Zhatian Gang!"

"Boss is mighty! Zhatian Gang is mighty!"

"Wishing the Gang Leader a triumphant victory!"

The roars of this group of Spirit Beasts shook the heavens and the earth, startling quite a few Beast Tamers nearby.

However, when they saw Jiang Che standing at the very front of the many Spirit Beasts, they were relieved.

By now, Jiang Che's fame had long since spread throughout Tianque Academy.

Everyone knew that there was a harmless-looking little beast in the freshman year who had taken in hundreds or thousands of underlings...

"Xiaobai!"

"Little Tiger! Come here!" Luo Shuiyan, Hu Xiaoxiao, and the others had finished washing up and walked out carrying their small bags.

The group was dressed quite exquisitely, as they were heading to the Imperial Capital this time.

As for their luggage and most other items, they didn't need to worry at all because they had Jiang Che's storage space.

The four of them, who were already stunning beauties, were now even more refined after a little dressing up, becoming a beautiful sight within the academy, with a nearly one-hundred-percent head-turning rate.

During this month, the strength of the group had also undergone tremendous changes.

Because they were returning to the Imperial Capital, Yi Zimeng had been training with all her might during this time.

Under the immense pressure from the Yin Family, she successfully broke through to One-Star Spirit Grade! As for Hu Xiaoxiao, because of her naturally playful nature, she was instead surpassed by Yi Zimeng.

She was even caught up by Lin Xueer, who had received the Ancient Inheritance.

Both of them were now Nine-Star Advanced Beastmasters.

It could be said that the current 'Rose Maiden Team' had improved in strength by more than just a little compared to before.

"Sigh, here we go again, more trouble..."

Looking at the four who were ready, Jiang Che could not help but shake his head and sigh.

For the next period of time, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep every day.

Surrounded by a group of Spirit Beasts, the group arrived at Tianque Academy.

The team preparing to head to the Imperial Capital was already assembled.

All the teachers and students of Tianque Academy were lined up waiting outside the station.

At the front were Luo Shuiyan and the other students representing the academy in the Hundred Schools League, along with the accompanying elders.

The Dean of Tianque Academy looked at the crowd around him with great solemnity.

Outside the train at this moment, there were not only people from Tianque Academy.

There were also other academies, as well as experts from various great families.

This time, Luo Shuiyan and the others were not only fighting on behalf of Tianque Academy, but also representing their Xi'an Ancient City!

"Everyone, rest assured, we will certainly protect the safety of our participating students."

"In this Hundred Schools League, we will never let everyone down."

"Everyone, wait for the good news in Xi'an Ancient City; our Tianque Academy will return with honor..."

After saying a few simple, heart-stirring words, the Dean of Tianque Academy led the team onto the intercity train.

Although the academy also had Spirit Beasts capable of carrying people in flight, for such a long-distance journey, it was still more convenient to go directly via the intercity train.

After all, before the competition, ensuring the condition of the participating students was the most important thing.

The many experts present applauded and cheered one after another to see Luo Shuiyan and the others off.

Tianque Academy had directly chartered an entire luxury sleeper carriage; it could be said that the environment was very convenient and comfortable.

As the Instructor for Luo Shuiyan and the others, Xue Bingning was also traveling to the Imperial Capital this time.

"You have to say, this treatment is actually quite good."

Jiang Che was held in Luo Shuiyan's arms, looking at the scenery outside the window while eating the dazzling array of delicacies on the table.

While eating, Jiang Che observed his surroundings through his Holographic Perspective.

"Hm? Not bad, this old man is actually quite attentive."

"I didn't expect him to follow along even on the train; he himself is much more intimidating than that pitch-black wooden tablet."

He had discovered that Elder Guo was also among the entourage and couldn't help but mutter softly.

"What old man? Could it be that you mean...?!"

After hearing Jiang Che's muttering, Luo Shuiyan was astonished for a moment.

Whether Elder Guo would accompany the team to the Imperial Capital was something she hadn't been very sure about either.

But what shocked Luo Shuiyan was this.

Xiaobai was actually able to discover even that kind of Saint-level expert who could hide their aura!
