Chapter 616: Does Li Zhangsheng Possess Great Fortune? (Second Update, Seeking All)

The breakthrough probability for a Half-Step Epic Demon Pet is 20%, and it has a very significant advantage: no matter how many times it attempts a breakthrough, this probability never decreases, which is also the main reason why a Half-Step Epic Demon Pet is guaranteed to reach the Demon King rank.

After the evolution was complete, the Flying Alpaca flew up, its entire body shining brightly as if it had transformed into a small sun, and it began to attempt the breakthrough.

With the aid of the power of evolution, the Flying Alpaca's breakthrough probability this time rose to nearly 40%.

However, Zhang Kaishuo was still unaware of the Flying Alpaca's quality upgrade and continued to watch the Flying Alpaca with extreme nervousness.

Naturally, Li Zhangsheng could not remind him; otherwise, how would he explain it?

Zhang Kaishuo stared tightly at the ball of light, his hands clenching involuntarily, revealing his nervous state.

Soon, more than twenty minutes passed.

The longer the Flying Alpaca took to break through, the more nervous Zhang Kaishuo's expression became.

In contrast, Li Zhangsheng, who was standing to the side, remained as calm as ever.

Suddenly, the Flying Alpaca's momentum surged, and its body emitted an increasingly intense milky-white radiance, causing the entire Training Ground to be filled with blinding light.

Whoosh—

Under the surging momentum, the Breath Concealment Restriction emitted a sound of being unable to bear the load, and then it shattered.

Zhang Kaishuo ignored the Restriction; his expression instantly shifted from nervousness to ecstasy, and he was excited to the extreme.

Sensing the powerful momentum here, the high-level officials and Instructors of Yuanling Academy rushed over one after another.

The Flying Alpaca continued its breakthrough, its momentum steadily increasing, and it finally became a Demon King rank Demon Pet as a matter of course, unlike Xu Wenhua's Red Dragon, which only became a Half-Step Demon King rank.

At this moment, Zhang Kaishuo's body began to tremble violently, emitting a crackling sound; it was the feedback from the Demon King rank Flying Alpaca, which not only improved his physique to a certain extent but also caused the bones in his hands to become like the finest celadon jade.

This was Jade Bone, and it was also one of the signs of a Pseudo-King.

The more Demon King rank Demon Pets one has, the stronger the Pseudo-King's physique becomes, and the more Jade Bone is refined, which can provide the Pseudo-King with astonishing defensive power and strength.

In this way, Yuanling Academy had given birth to its third Pseudo-King.

According to custom, Zhang Kaishuo would be promoted to Vice Principal.

After a few breaths, the Flying Alpaca retracted the light from its body, descended from the sky, and appeared submissively before Zhang Kaishuo.

"Congratulations to the Dean for becoming a Pseudo-King!"

Li Zhangsheng was the first to congratulate Zhang Kaishuo.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

At this time, the high-level officials and Instructors present also offered their blessings, and Ning Wei and other Sixth Rank high-level officials were particularly envious.

Xu Wenhua wore a joyful smile; with Zhang Kaishuo becoming a Pseudo-King, the influence of Yuanling Academy could rise by another two points.

Zhang Kaishuo was in an exceptionally good mood, and his gaze toward Li Zhangsheng was filled with gratitude as he said, "This time it really is thanks to Zhangsheng. The Principal was right; Zhangsheng's good fortune is truly beyond words!"

Qian Yuanfei asked in confusion, "Dean Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Kaishuo then revealed his transaction with Li Zhangsheng and stated that the Flying Alpaca had borrowed Li Zhangsheng's good fortune, which was why it had successfully broken through.

In short, Zhang Kaishuo was exceptionally grateful to Li Zhangsheng.

Just like that, all the high-level officials and Instructors turned their gazes toward Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng had only been at Yuanling Academy for a little over a year, but if one investigated carefully, they would find that all the major events that had occurred at Yuanling Academy were related to him.

In the first Exchange Tournament, Li Zhangsheng turned the tide, allowing Yuanling Academy to return to the ranks of the top two academies.

In the second Exchange Tournament, Li Zhangsheng was invincible and unstoppable, leading Yuanling Academy to become the number one academy.

Ning Bizhen recovered from the brink of death and became a Pseudo-King in one step; her progress was even more exaggerated, and she now had three Demon King rank Demon Pets. Everyone knew that these were all closely related to Li Zhangsheng.

Xu Wenhua purchased the Vermilion Bird Spirit Essence from Li Zhangsheng's auction house, which allowed his Single-Legged Cloud-Top Crane to successfully reach the Demon King rank.

Not long ago, Xu Wenhua also exchanged for a Red Fire Dragon Scale Fruit from Li Zhangsheng; although his adult Red Dragon did not successfully break through, it still became a Half-Step Demon King rank thanks to this, and now it has the opportunity to become a true Demon King rank Demon Pet.

Zhang Kaishuo also received Li Zhangsheng's help, and his Flying Alpaca successfully broke through to the Demon King rank, allowing Zhang Kaishuo to successfully become a Pseudo-King.

Additionally, Xu Fanghua and Qian Yuanfei also received Li Zhangsheng's help, which allowed them to advance to the Sixth Rank and become high-level officials of the Academy.

As for Lu Qian, he seemed unrelated to Li Zhangsheng, but there were still countless connections; he had once taught Li Zhangsheng and was the head teacher of the Newborn Elite Class last year.

"How could I have such good fortune!"

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly retorted; compared to Ning Bizhen, his luck was indeed much worse.

At this time, Zhang Kaishuo withdrew the Flying Alpaca and took the opportunity to check its data.

"Eh!"

Upon checking, Zhang Kaishuo immediately exclaimed in surprise, once again attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone asked with concern, "Dean Zhang, what's wrong?"

"My Flying Alpaca's quality has risen to Half-Step Epic!"

"Ah!"

Everyone expressed their astonishment, including Xu Wenhua; the looks they cast toward Zhang Kaishuo were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

After reacting, everyone immediately looked at Li Zhangsheng again.

They felt that Li Zhangsheng was a person possessed of great fortune; regardless of whether others believed it or not, they were very certain of it.

Li Zhangsheng knew that explaining would be useless, so he simply pulled Ning Bizhen away.

Seeing that Li Zhangsheng was preparing to leave, Zhang Kaishuo secretly sent him a voice transmission: "Zhangsheng, I have another 200,000 Academic Credits here, I'll lend them to you first; you can pay me back whenever!"

"Many thanks, Dean!"

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly sent a voice transmission to thank him. With this, he now had nearly 900,000 Academic Credits in his hands, one step closer to redeeming the Hunyuan Golden Lamp.

On the way back, Ning Bizhen said, "Zhangsheng, I have already raised 330,000 Academic Credits, 180,000 of which were borrowed."

Li Zhangsheng was somewhat surprised by Ning Bizhen's efficiency; he hadn't expected that in just half a day, Ning Bizhen would have raised so many Academic Credits. If he added his nearly 900,000 Academic Credits, they would only need to raise another 300,000 Academic Credits to redeem the Hunyuan Golden Lamp.

However, while the difficulty of raising them initially was certainly not high, as time passed, the difficulty would increase rapidly.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and said, "Bizhen, let's put aside our current work for now; for these two days, we will focus specifically on collecting the remaining four Academy Medals!"

Li Zhangsheng was still concerned about the National Tournament; currently, both he and Ning Bizhen only had one Academy Medal each, and they were still four short of obtaining the entry ticket for the National Tournament.

However, given their current strength, the difficulty of obtaining an Academy Medal can be described as negligible.

It is just that before reaching the Sixth Rank, Li Zhangsheng must first collect the remaining four; otherwise, once his cultivation is exposed, there could be serious consequences.

Being a step or two ahead can be considered a natural gift, but being too far ahead is something anyone would know is abnormal.

In the eyes of most people, the current Li Zhangsheng is barely considered normal; after all, it is not as if there are no others who have reached the Fifth Rank at his age, and to his knowledge, there are a few on the continent.

But a 17-year-old Sixth Rank or even a Pseudo-King truly does not exist; there are not even many in the history of the Fairy World.

Li Zhangsheng plans to delay until the National Tournament, and during this period, he will deliberately spread rumors, such as purchasing Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure and Alchemical Pill to assist Demon Pet breakthroughs, Star Fruit and Star Essence to rapidly increase Star Power, and borrowing a large amount of Academic Credit from high-level officials, Instructors, and even students, creating the impression that he is willing to go bankrupt to compete for the top four in the National Tournament.

Even after the National Tournament, Li Zhangsheng plans to slowly pay back the Academic Credit, continuing to give people the illusion of bankruptcy until he becomes an Emperor Rank.

"Alright!"

Ning Bizhen obediently agreed; she actually did not have much of an opinion, and usually, Li Zhangsheng was the one who made the decisions.

"This is the recent list of competitions!"

Li Zhangsheng took out a list, on which were written the competitions recently held in the major cities of the Langya Kingdom, categorized by type.

In these two or three days, as many as seven competitions will be held across the Langya Kingdom, and Li Zhangsheng, based on factors such as distance and time, finally decided on the Capture Competition, the Flight Competition, the Fire Element Duel Competition, and the Racing Competition.

Just as the two were about to leave the Yuanling Academy, someone happened to come looking for Li Zhangsheng at this time.

The person who came to find Li Zhangsheng was a middle-aged man with a steady appearance; he still had some impression of this person, as he was a person by the side of the First Prince, Dou Yuande.

His surname was Duan, with the given name Chun, and he possessed the level of a Fifth-tier Beastmaster; because he was in charge of the First Prince's finances, he was also known as Steward Duan.

"So it is Steward Duan, what a rare guest!"

Facing Li Zhangsheng, Duan Chun said somewhat humbly: "Lord Zhangsheng, the First Prince specifically entrusted me to deliver this package to you!"

While speaking, Duan Chun handed a sealed package to Li Zhangsheng.

Soon, Duan Chun chose to leave.

Li Zhangsheng opened the package and saw a green crystal, a Jade Slip, and a letter.

The green crystal was only the size of an infant's fist, yet it was a Wood Element Crystal.

What was recorded in the Jade Slip was nothing else but the "Seven Luminaries Star Demon Taming Art".

Although Li Zhangsheng had exchanged for this Demon Taming Art, he could not teach it to Ning Bizhen due to confidentiality, so he entrusted the First Prince, Dou Yuande, to help him get a copy.

As for what price the First Prince, Dou Yuande, paid, that was not something Li Zhangsheng could know, but given his status, it presumably did not cost much.

Li Zhangsheng unfolded the envelope and began to read the letter personally signed by the First Prince, Dou Yuande.

This letter was full of recent intelligence regarding the Langya Liu Clan and the Third Prince, Dou Yuanbin.

The Langya Liu Clan was easier to deal with; they had not caused any stir recently and seemed to still be licking their wounds.

The Third Prince, Dou Yuanbin, was different; it was heard that he had recently been frequently in contact with the Clan Leader of the Fang Clan, a Famous Clan of the Dai Kingdom.

Due to the turmoil in the Dai Kingdom, the Fang Clan had to secretly relocate part of their forces to the Langya Kingdom; from the information collected by the First Prince, the Fang Clan seemed to want to defect to Dou Yuanbin.

Finally, some information about the Fang Clan of the Dai Kingdom was also attached.
