Chapter 1201: Greatly Increased Strength (First update, requesting everything)

During this process, whenever a Spirit Beast successfully broke through or failed to break through, it would immediately leave the range of the Emperor Flowing Plasma, and a reserve Spirit Beast would take its place.

The reserve Spirit Beasts came partly from the family and Yuanling Academy, with the rest coming from the various major factions of the Langya Kingdom.

In order to better consolidate his rule over the Langya Kingdom, Li Zhangsheng did not mind giving the major factions of the Langya Kingdom a little sweetness.

Those small factions wanting to obtain quotas had to make contributions to Li Zhangsheng, such as voluntarily offering treasures or Spirit Beasts that Li Zhangsheng was short of, and Li Zhangsheng would grant different quotas based on their contributions.

However, most small factions were still in a wait-and-see state.

But after today, these small factions would inevitably flock to this, and it was even possible they would offer up their family heirlooms.

There was no help for it; the effect of the Emperor Flowing Plasma on the breakthroughs of Spirit Beasts was too good, especially for mid- and low-tier Spirit Beasts.

Although the effect on high-tier Spirit Beasts was much inferior, as long as it could improve the odds by even a sliver, it would definitely be sought after by numerous factions; after all, treasures and Alchemical Pills that assisted in increasing the breakthrough probability of high-tier Spirit Beasts were truly too rare, and almost impossible to find on the market.

This was only Li Zhangsheng's first stage: first let the major factions taste a little sweetness, and incidentally consolidate his rule over the Langya Kingdom.

Starting from next year, Li Zhangsheng would gradually reduce the free quotas for the major factions, and even remove the quotas for County Gentry level families, Sects, and Academies, making them join the ranks of those who contribute.

By that time, only Famous Clans and King Family level factions would be able to obtain breakthrough quotas for free, but following Li Zhangsheng's progress, Famous Clan level factions would gradually be removed later on, and those King Family level factions without a King presiding over them would also be in this category.

To put it simply, it was still for the sake of profit.

The more powerful a faction was, the greater the probability that they possessed the treasures Li Zhangsheng needed in their hands.

The Langya Kingdom possessed hundreds of County Gentry level factions, and dozens of Famous Clans and King Families; the resources they held could be imagined. To make them willingly cough up resources, the best method was to drive them with profit.

Li Zhangsheng's approach was nothing more than giving a little sweetness first, then letting them fight for it, while simultaneously intensifying the competition between them.

Most factions had hostile factions; once a hostile faction achieved significant progress, it would obtain more local resource allocations, and it was very likely they would also contend for the benefits that originally belonged to one's own faction.

Li Zhangsheng wished these factions would fight until they were brain-dead; once the competition reached a fever pitch, he would be the ultimate beneficiary.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng still had to formulate a series of rules, and occasionally act as a mediator to maintain the balance on the surface.

At this moment, all the Great Overlord level Spirit Beasts had finished their breakthroughs.

Li Zhangsheng's Horned Dragon and Emerald Dragon were also among the ranks of those breaking through, and they successfully broke through to the Demon King level.

Just with their quality, coupled with the effect of the Ten Directions Nether Pill, and added to the amplification of the Emperor Flowing Plasma, the breakthrough probability was not generally high.

Next, it was the turn of the Demon King level Spirit Beasts; there were a total of thirty or forty Demon King level Spirit Beasts present.

To be able to let a Demon King level attempt a breakthrough to the Demon Saint level, the prerequisite must be that it was a King's Spirit Beast, because even if it broke through to the Demon Saint level, it could still be controlled.

These Demon King level Spirit Beasts came from Li Zhangsheng, Ning Bizhen, Zuo Qiulin, Xu Wenhua, Luo Qingning, and Qin Mingqing respectively.

Among them, Li Zhangsheng's quantity was the largest, followed by the veteran Kings Luo Qingning and Qin Mingqing.

The Demon King level Spirit Beasts in the hands of the veteran Kings were almost all at the critical point of breakthrough, but these Spirit Beasts had failed their breakthroughs many times, so even with the effect of the Emperor Flowing Plasma, the breakthrough probability was still negligible.

Besides the Demon King level Spirit Beasts, there were also more than ten Demon King and Demon Saint level Spirit Beasts from the original Silent Forest; they were all "working" for Li Zhangsheng, maintaining the stability and peace of the Silent Forest, and ensuring the safety of the development personnel.

Li Zhangsheng was also willing to give them a little sweetness; even if a Great Overlord luckily broke through to the Demon Emperor level, it would be difficult to affect his rule, and the key still depended on whether Li Zhangsheng was willing to give it this opportunity.

Very quickly, some Demon King level Spirit Beasts reached their limit, unable to absorb any more Emperor Flowing Plasma, and began to attempt a breakthrough.

According to their different physiques and qualities, the Emperor Flowing Plasma absorbed by the Demon King level Spirit Beasts also had differences in level; the better the physique and the higher the quality, the higher the upper limit for containing the Emperor Flowing Plasma.

The first batch of Demon King level Spirit Beasts attempting to break through were all Zuo Qiulin's, Luo Qingning's, and Qin Mingqing's; they were basically all Superior Quality, belonging to the bottom-tier characters among Demon King level Spirit Beasts. Even with the assistance of the Emperor Flowing Plasma, the breakthrough probability was negligible, not to mention that most had already failed many times.

As time passed, more and more Demon King level Spirit Beasts and Spirit Beasts began to attempt breakthroughs.

In less than ten minutes, all the Spirit Beasts had entered the state of breakthrough.

It was also at this time that the first batch of Demon King level Spirit Beasts and Spirit Beasts opened their disappointed eyes one after another; without exception, they all ended in failure.

Li Zhangsheng had nothing to say; although the number was not small, their average breakthrough success rate was probably only around 2%, so failing the breakthrough was perfectly normal.

After waiting for a few breaths, suddenly, the momentum of one Demon King level Spirit Beast surged violently.

At the first moment, Li Zhangsheng locked onto the target, and a Strengthened Breath-Concealing Restriction appeared beneath the target, containing its momentum to a certain range to avoid affecting other Spirit Beasts attempting to break through.

In the courtyard, Li Zhangsheng had laid out a large number of Strengthened Breath-Concealing Restrictions in advance.

This Spirit Beast whose momentum surged was Ning Bizhen's Nine Heavens Xun Wind Cat; due to the Wind Profound Meaning Origin Crystal, its breakthrough success rate was greatly increased, and that was adding the Emperor Flowing Plasma and its own breakthrough probability.

It could be said that the Nine Heavens Xun Wind Cat's successful breakthrough was within expectations.

A few breaths later, another Demon King level Spirit Beast's momentum surged violently.

This time, it was the turn of Li Zhangsheng's secondary ancestral Red Dragon Xieryasina; this time it was a bit of a surprise, after all, Xieryasina was only of top quality, and even with the assistance of the Emperor Flowing Plasma, the breakthrough success rate was still not high.

But it was precisely because it was a surprise that Li Zhangsheng was overjoyed.

After three minutes passed, three more Demon King level Spirit Beasts successfully broke through; they were respectively Xu Wenhua's Six-Winged Frost Centipede, Luo Qingning's Three-Colored Peacock, and Zuo Qiulin's Leviathan.

By the way, there was also an Earth Titan Giant from the Silent Forest that also completed its breakthrough, making the Silent Forest have one more Great Overlord.

What followed was the main event; Li Zhangsheng's Roundy, Adai, and Purple Firmament Leopard-Lin Beast all successfully broke through, and Ning Bizhen's Green-Eyed Golden-Maned Beast was also in this rank.

Of course, among them, there must be Spirit Beasts that became Pseudo-Demon Saint level Spirit Beasts.

Speaking of Pseudo-Demon Saint level Spirit Beasts, the Crowned Li Fire Luan, Long-Eared Cold Jade Rabbit, and Eight-Armed Naga, these three Pseudo-Demon Saint level Spirit Beasts, also took this opportunity to become true Saint Grade Spirit Pets.

This all at once made Li Zhangsheng's strength and power increase greatly, and his prestige was further consolidated.
