Chapter 959: Principal Xu Advances to King (First Update, requesting everything)

In the information transmitted to Luo Yuanjun, besides the fact that the assessment of the Human Emperor Mansion had been completed, there was also news regarding the Fire Rule Crystal.

The information spread in the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, Luo Yuanjun, who was ten thousand miles away from Li Zhangsheng, received the message.

Luo Yuanjun never imagined that in just a few short days, Li Zhangsheng had independently slain two Demon Commanders; if the time spent on the Temporary Pass were included, it had taken less than two days in total.

Such efficiency was truly unheard of.

Even a Double-Character King might not be able to achieve this; after all, Demon Commanders were not fools. As soon as they discovered a Double-Character King, they would surely turn and flee. Facing a Demon Commander bent on escaping, an ordinary Double-Character King might not necessarily succeed.

When Luo Yuanjun saw the next message, the chaotic thoughts in his mind were immediately cast aside, and with a shift of his intent, his consciousness appeared in the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings.

At this moment in the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, there were only Li Zhangsheng and Luo Yuanjun, so there was no need to fear being overheard.

As soon as Luo Yuanjun appeared, he asked impatiently: "His Majesty the Quan King, are you truly willing to trade the Fire Rule Crystal with me?"

It was no wonder Luo Yuanjun would say this; if an ordinary King obtained a Rule Crystal, they would naturally clutch it tightly, hoping to use it after becoming a Double-Character King one day. How could they be like Li Zhangsheng, seeking a trade directly?

What Luo Yuanjun could not understand was that Li Zhangsheng had become a King at such a young age and would surely become a Double-Character King in the future; he could completely hold onto this Fire Rule Crystal and use it after becoming a Double-Character King. Why would he seek a trade? And why would he choose him?

"His Majesty the Qingmu King, this matter is absolutely true. Firstly, I have been under your care during this period, and secondly, I intend to use it to exchange with you for some treasures that can enhance combat power."

Seeing Li Zhangsheng confirm it, Luo Yuanjun became even more excited. He already had three Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beasts; if he obtained the Fire Rule Crystal, there would be a high possibility of obtaining a fourth Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beast, which would not only allow him to become a top-tier Double-Character King but also give him a greater possibility of becoming an Emperor in the future.

In the entire Fairy World, the number of top-tier Double-Character Kings barely exceeded the number of fingers on two hands, and it was also a symbol of status.

In the entire Human Emperor Mansion, only the Commander of the Human Emperor Mansion met the requirements.

If Luo Yuanjun became a top-tier Double-Character King, he could seek greater power to reap more benefits, and could even stand on equal footing with the Commander.

"Plant good causes, form good affinities, and reap good fruits!"

Luo Yuanjun feigned a sigh, though he knew very well in his heart that the reason he had taken such good care of Li Zhangsheng was for the sake of benefits.

However, as long as this trade was completed, Li Zhangsheng would truly be standing in his camp, and he would take even better care of Li Zhangsheng; this was a foreseeable outcome.

"Since His Majesty the Quan King has already completed the Human Emperor Mansion's assessment, then head to the Human Emperor Mansion today so I can make arrangements."

In his excitement, Luo Yuanjun no longer referred to himself as 'this seat', completely treating Li Zhangsheng as one of his own.

"I have one more humble request; I hope to trade in public."

Li Zhangsheng briefly recounted what had happened in the Imperial Palace of the Hu Kingdom. Only by trading the Fire Rule Crystal to Luo Yuanjun in public could he reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble and avoid being constantly targeted by others.

"This is only right and proper; granted!"

Luo Yuanjun's expression did not change. Although doing this would make him appear overly high-profile, as long as he immediately digested the Fire Rule Crystal, no trouble would arise; after all, his status as the Vice Commander of the Human Emperor Mansion was there, and ordinary petty people could not cause him trouble.

From beginning to end, Li Zhangsheng did not mention what he needed, because he knew very well that if the trade value were completely unequal at that time, Luo Yuanjun would definitely lose face in front of his subordinates, and he would never do such a thing.

Moreover, Li Zhangsheng had also stated his general requirements, and he believed Luo Yuanjun would make his own trade-offs.

After the exchange was finished, the two men's consciousnesses disappeared from the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings.

Li Zhangsheng prepared to set off immediately. Now that the demon army at the Natural Fortress had been almost completely wiped out, and he had also killed the Demon Commander, no new Demon Commander would appear in the short term, so he could safely leave for a while.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng observed the Gate of Light and Darkness slightly and found that the Glazed Bottle was still putting up a desperate struggle, but there was very little Demonic Qi left.

It was likely that before long, the Demonic Qi in the Glazed Bottle would be exhausted, and he did not know how much Abyss Consciousness it possessed.

Li Zhangsheng rode Aixi away from the Natural Fortress and flew toward the Mucang Empire located in the center of the continent. That was also a kingdom established by the Human Emperor, which had existed for nearly ten thousand years since its founding, and was the oldest kingdom today.

Just as Li Zhangsheng was about to leave the Dai Kingdom, suddenly, flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, and celebratory bell chimes echoed in the void.

Creatures within a radius of ten thousand miles could not help but reveal feelings of joy, and some were lucky enough to absorb the golden lotuses and heavenly flowers, with many gaining benefits and breaking through their existing realms.

This was a celestial phenomenon that only occurred when someone ascended to the rank of King. Li Zhangsheng's gaze could not help but fall toward the northwest of the Dai Kingdom, and he could vaguely sense the general direction.

"Principal Xu has also broken through!"

A smile hung on Li Zhangsheng's face. Xu Wenhua was already a top-tier Pseudo-King, and his Mental Power had long reached the critical point for a breakthrough. After he had sponsored him with two Profound Meaning Crystals a few days ago, it was not unexpected that he became a King.

Now that Xu Wenhua had advanced to King, he had more confidence in dealing with the Dark Night King. The key was that if the Dark Night King attacked, he would likely only be able to exert a portion of his combat power, as he still had to divide his attention to suppress a Twin Abyss Gate.

Langya Kingdom, Li City Fortress.

When Xu Wenhua broke through, the gaze of the Dark Night King, Dou Cangqiong, could not help but fall toward the Dai Kingdom. His expression was very unsightly; although he did not know who had broken through to King, the Dai Kingdom was now Li Zhangsheng's home turf, and this new King must be related to Li Zhangsheng.

"Xu Wenhua? Or perhaps Ning Bizhen?"

Dou Cangqiong frowned deeply; no matter who broke through, the situation would be unfavorable for him.

Right now, he wished he could immediately head to the Dai Kingdom to kill Li Zhangsheng, but that was just a thought.

Firstly, the three-month deadline had not yet arrived, and Dou Cangqiong feared Li Zhangsheng's 'Temporary Amulet'; secondly, the backlash from his failed attempt to curse Li Zhangsheng not long ago had not yet fully recovered; thirdly, the situation in the Langya Kingdom had not yet stabilized; after all, the Kingdom Lord and King had fallen, the Imperial Palace had turned into ruins, and Li Zhangsheng and a group of leaders from the Yuanling Academy had fled, severely shaking the foundation of the state.

As Li Zhangsheng became a King, many people in the Langya Kingdom felt it was a pity, and they harbored dissatisfaction with the Imperial Family's original decision; after all, Li Zhangsheng had made great contributions to the Langya Kingdom, and treating him this way naturally chilled the hearts of the people.

Dou Cangqiong had severely underestimated Li Zhangsheng's influence and prestige. Under various honors, Li Zhangsheng was fully worthy of being a role model for the younger generation of the Langya Kingdom, and many people regarded him as their goal.

It was also because of this that the Imperial Family's rule in the Langya Kingdom was inevitably shaken at its roots.
