Chapter 746: Setting Off, Kailing Empire (Second Update, Requesting Everything)

In order to better manage this group of dragons, before leaving, Li Zhangsheng still used his own unique method to intimidate them.

Li Zhangsheng's method of intimidation was not to release all his Demon King-level Demon Pets, but to transform into a Hundred-Armed Giant, exuding an aura as oppressive as a prison.

The aura of the Hundred-Armed Giant was extremely unique, filled with the scent of slaughter, fear, and destruction; even though the Hundred-Armed Giant Li Zhangsheng transformed into was only at the Lord level, it still bluffed this group of dragons.

Such an effect was more efficient than summoning a group of Demon King-level Demon Pets to release Pressure.

Besides the stick, there naturally had to be a carrot; Li Zhangsheng promised that when he returned next time, the dragons that performed well could receive a large reward of treasures.

"Performing well" here meant either that a dragon had laid a Dragon Egg, or that it had behaved well during this period; it mainly depended on the situation, and the better the performance, the more treasure would be awarded.

Under the stick and carrot approach, even the Five-Colored Dragons spontaneously restrained their own behavior.

Dragons are all greedy for wealth; for the sake of treasure, they are willing to do almost anything. As long as there is enough treasure, even a Dragon God would be willing to take action for you.

The Dragon God mentioned here refers to a dragon-type Divine Beast.

In this way, even without Red Dragon Xieryasina sitting in command, these Five-Colored Dragons would surely restrain their behavior, and might even take the initiative to stop or betray companions who wanted to cause trouble in order to increase their own evaluations.

After all matters were concluded, Li Zhangsheng bid farewell to Li Haoqiong and his wife and returned to the Number One Courtyard.

This trip to the Temporary Dragon Lair could be considered as having achieved the expected goal.

Although the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast, which Li Zhangsheng had high hopes for, did not advance to the Demon King level, its quality had improved, which represented a significance no less than advancing to the Demon King level; as long as it was given time, it might complete the advancement next time.

Most importantly, with Red Dragon Xieryasina advancing to the Demon King level, Li Zhangsheng's combat power had once again increased by a certain margin; with his current strength, most Pseudo-Kings without Saint Grade Spirit Pets were likely no match for him.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng also could not kill the other party; at most, he could only defeat them. It was not just that the gap in strength was not large, but the key was that the other party possessed a Secret Realm; if they couldn't win, they could completely hide in the Secret Realm, and what could Li Zhangsheng do?

Unless the Chi Dragon advanced to the Demon King level, Li Zhangsheng had no possibility of slaughtering a King.

Even so, if Li Zhangsheng defeated a King while being at a lower level, it would inevitably cause a great shock.

In the history of the Fairy World, there were some brilliant Pseudo-Kings who could contend with Kings for a short time, including that brilliant female Principal of Yuanling Academy.

Unfortunately, they could only contend with Kings for a short time; once the time was long, they would inevitably be defeated in the end. Let alone defeating a King, there wasn't even one who could manage a draw.

If Li Zhangsheng defeated a King while being at a lower level, this would naturally be a great feat, but a tree standing above the forest will be destroyed by the wind; it might not necessarily be a good thing for him.

Unless there were great benefits, Li Zhangsheng had absolutely no need to show off like this.

The next morning, at the Central Training Ground.

At this moment, a large number of Instructors and students were gathered here, the number definitely exceeding three thousand; they had all come spontaneously to see Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen off.

Most of the people present regarded Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen as role models; after all, the two of them had swept the top two spots in this National Tournament. Due to the interaction between the two in the Finals, this National Tournament ended up without a champion, which could be said to be unprecedented, and sharing the runner-up title was even talked about as a beautiful story for a time.

Not only in Yuanling Academy, but due to their exaggerated age and appearance, many young people in the Langya Kingdom also regarded them as role models, having quite a feeling of becoming idols.

Judging from their popularity, it stood to reason that Ning Bizhen, as a female, should be more popular, but the result was the exact opposite; Li Zhangsheng was more popular than Ning Bizhen.

The reason was simple: Li Zhangsheng helped Yuanling Academy win the title of the number one Academy, allowing them to truly obtain many tangible benefits, so how could they not support him?

After learning the news that Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen would head to the Kailing Empire today, these Instructors and students spontaneously gathered to offer them sincere blessings.

At the same time, their hearts were also burning, hoping that the two could win seats in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

Yuanling Academy had a history of nearly three hundred years, but it had a rather embarrassing record: although young Instructors and outstanding students occasionally became the top four or even champions of the National Tournament, they had never won a seat in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

If either Li Zhangsheng or Ning Bizhen succeeded, it would inevitably fill this gap, and for them, it would also be a shared honor.

Besides the Instructors and students, the bigwigs of Yuanling Academy also arrived together.

Soon, two exceptionally huge dragons rushed out from the Number One Courtyard; the Secondary Ancestral Black Dragon and Red Dragon Xieryasina were pulling a carriage, golden flames wrapped around the wheels, and as it moved, golden fire lotuses with a diameter of a zhang began to bloom in the void behind.

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen sat on the carriage. When they flew to the Central Training Ground, because there were too many people seeing them off and the two Demon King-level dragons were too large, the carriage did not land on the ground but hovered in the air.

At this time, Xu Wenhua led the other bigwigs and flew over, saying: "Principal Ning, Changsheng, on behalf of the Academy, I wish you a triumphant start and immediate success!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Xu Wenhua and the other high-level officials, Li Zhangsheng turned his gaze to the crowd below and said loudly: "Everyone, I won't say any more unnecessary words. This time, we will definitely win seats in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm!"

Under the effect of Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng's voice clearly spread to the ears of everyone present, as if he were speaking right beside them.

This time, Li Zhangsheng could be said to be full of confidence; he was determined to win the seats in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

If even he and Ning Bizhen could not win seats in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, then how many people in this generation would have such qualifications?

Every session, there were exactly the number of Tiangang and Disha, which was 108 spots, for the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm. With the strength of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen, barring any accidents, they could lock in two of those spots.

"Set off!"

The next moment, the two Demon King-level dragons let out a Dragon Roar toward the sky, flapping their huge dragon wings, and flew toward the direction of the Kailing Empire like an arrow released from a bowstring.

In terms of straight-line distance, the Langya Kingdom was eight thousand li away from the Kailing Empire, with more than ten countries in between, but at the speed of the two Demon King-level dragons, they were expected to arrive before dusk.

As the carriage sped toward the Kailing Empire, an invisible barrier automatically appeared, wrapping around the entire carriage and blocking out the biting cold wind.

Along the way, Li Zhangsheng did not let go of any opportunity; his Mental Power was always in an outward-releasing state, covering a range of eight thousand meters, encompassing all the flying Spirit Beasts encountered within that range.
