Zhan Long

"Shua shua shua…"

Golden light pelted down and I rose to level 234. This level was a whole new region. I also got a skill book? It was Star Region Technique, this was never seen before!

This novel is available on Hosted Novel.

I opened my bag and a blue skill book was wrapped up in alluring light. This skill was similar to Frost's star crystal shield. I picked it up and was delighted. It was another Epic Tier skill book. From the consumption one could see that this skill was definitely no lower than Epic tier-

Star Shield (Three Star Star Region Technique): Summon the stars and use them to form a shield. Help the user to block damage he is about to take. The durability of the shield is related to the attack. Required level 230, consume 200 charm!

……

I learned it right away and the Star Shield turned into a blue light that disappeared in my palms. In the next moment, a blue skill appeared in my skill column, lv-1 Star Shield!

I activated it and instantly the star turned dark. Numerous stars landed and formed a giant shield in my left hand. It was really eye-catching and beautiful. As I moved, this shield moved along with me. This meant that I had to use it as a shield for it to block damage for me. If not, if someone backstabbed me, I would take the full damage. This skill's flexibility was really high and had a 100% block ability that other skills didn't have.

My arm shook and the shield shattered. The starlight wrapped around my left arm and waited for me to summon it the next time. This skill consumed too much mana but my mana was high so I didn't care. Train it more and get it to level 20. After all, I lacked such a defensive skill. Wall of Douqi and Frost Armor were passive skills so this was the only active defensive skill.

At the side, Meng Yao looked at me use and deactivate Star Shield and she laughed, "Brother this skill looks good!"

"Right, very handsome right?" I laughed, "Not only that, its effect is strong too! Meng Yao, what reward did you get?"

"Not very good, I was ranked 70 and got a divine tier gear. But luckily I had charm and level rewards, not bad."

"En."

Apart from me, Dancing Forest's reward was the best in Zhan Long. Level 4 god weapon but it was a bracer so she sold it to Li Mu. As for Xue Rou, she was a top two heavy armor player in Zhan Long. I gave her the chest plate from when I killed The Judge and she was collecting the set now!

The Order set's special skill was Order which changed the players' attack angle and strength. This strengthened the player's attack and was much better than a 100% increase in attack. Xue Rou's current attack was similar to Wang Jian but after testing it out, once the equipment corrected it, her damage was 10% higher. If she could gather 5, she would at least have 50% more attack.

Xue Rou's strength was there so people were more at ease. As a boss, I just needed to give her one piece and she had the strength to get the rest.

I entered the hall and then looked at Frost. Her injuries weren't so easily healed. Luckily the Hybrid Demons were gone so Dragon City was relatively safe now.

I dealt with some things before it was time to head offline. In a blink of an eye, it was already the night of the second day.

I brought along Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue and after having a full meal we went to sleep.

……

It was the morning of the next day when I woke. I woke up at 7am and had a full 12 hours. I had another full meal before heading online to work. Although I didn't know when the third country war would start but I just had to strengthen myself.

"Shua!"

After going online, I went to fix my equipment and I tossed all the useful ones into the auction house. I also earned myself tens of thousands of money. After I threw the last equipment in, I heard wings flapping. A Guards Army war hawk knight cupped his fist, "General, His Majesty is discussing matters in the palace, please head over!"

It seemed like it had to do with the Dragon Territory Battle.

I summoned my God Dragon Horse and galloped towards the palace. Along the way, I bumped into Yan Shao Warrior, Fang Ge Que etc higher ranked players. Yan Zhao Warrior walked alongside me and the two of us ditched Fang Ge Que. He said, "Baili Ning is dead so whether or not I can become the general is down to how you speak."

I was speechless, "Tsk what do you mean, I am just speaking the truth."

He laughed, "I don't study much, please forgive my use of words okay."

The two of us laughed as we charged at the palace. Behind us, Fang Ge Que used flash to chase us but it was no use. Even the top mage on the server couldn't do such a thing.

……

At the palace, Drunken Spear, Wang Jian, Jian Feng Han etc were all here. As for Li Mu, he was a Major at Dragon City so he could join such a meeting. But this fellow was drinking with a few Zhan Long members so he was still asleep so he was probably going to miss this.

When Fang Ge Que panted as he ran into the hall, the meeting began.

An old man held a scroll and said, "Tianling Empire has spread for thousands of years, the current emperor is courageous and intelligent. The Hybrid Demon invasion is turned into dust and the empire's map is kept complete. Our people are saved and everything is peaceful once more!"

Lochlan's face flushed red and interrupted, "Enough, our victory is down to all you generals, what does it have to do with me? Just announce the results."

"Yes your majesty!"

He bowed and read, "After The Executor Li Xiao Yao, Commander in Chief Lin Qiong etc generals fighting hard, we successfully forced back Azure, Qin Ge, Sif etc Hybrid Demon Army and protected the empire's honor. His Majesty has decided to hand farmland south of Fan Shu City to The Executor and the land west of the royal graveyard to Lin Qiong. The other generals are rewarded too!"

Lin Qiong and I cupped our fists, "Thank you your majesty!"

Lin Qiong raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, we mustn't forget the dead. General Baili Ning used his magic to cast a curse on Sett. He died for the empire so he should be honored!"

Lochlan stood up and said, "General Baili Ning is the empire's top mage and should be remembered as the Saint Mage Tutor. He will be buried in the royal tomb as a duke."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhu Hai looked at me warily and then stepped out, "Your Majesty, Baili Ning gave his life for the empire. Changfeng Army is left with tens of thousands of people and it needs a leader. I have a general Xu Liang that can fight battles and can become the new general."

Old fellow was trying to nurture his own force?

I laughed, "Xu Liang, if he could fight he would have changed the situation in the battle right?"

Lochlan smiled and thought about something, "Master Li what do you have to say about this?"

"Each army has thier soul, if we force one to Changfeng Army, it would affect their combat strength. I suggest… Let their major replace… Eh?"

I suddenly recalled that I didn't know what uncle was called so I asked, "What is your name?"

"Zhao Kaiguo!" His face flushed green and instantly Drunken Spear, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han all laughed. Fang Ge Que stopped himself but he still smiled.

I tried not to laugh and said, "Let Zhao Kaiguo be the general!"

Lochlan nodded, "Approved!"

Zhu Hai said anxiously, "Definitely not your majesty!"

"Why not?"

"Because… Because this name is too rude. Look at it Kaiguo, he is definitely going to rebel. Please think about it and don't give this person power."

I was slightly furious and raised my voice, "Your Majesty, a general just needs to fight, what can a name prove. So isn't my name rude too? Xiao Yao Zi Zai means that I am free so I can ignore Your Majesty? I think old man Zhu Hai is just causing trouble. He is just trying to give those close to him power and wants to kill you. Please remove him from his position and take his rank from him. Oh, why not just behead him!"

Lochlan was stunned, "Master Li really?"

He understood what I meant but he just acted like he was shocked.

Zhu Hai was furious, "Li Xiao Yao, you… As The Executor, as Suiding Duke, you are maligning me, you… What are you planning?"

I smiled, "Zhu Hai, as a duke you are using a name to malign someone. If you say that I am doing that, I am just learning from you. I am returning the favor, does that feel good?"
