Chapter 156: Chapter 152: Lord Tianyuan, Online Recommendation (3K)_1
Translator: 549690339
In the Huan Chao Exclusive Area, Mr. Mu was entertaining the heroes, having a great time chatting.
From these heroes, especially from those ancient heroic spirits, he gained more understanding of the history of the Eternal World, and he was eager to go on with the conversation.
Under a tense situation, none of the heroes dared to break the tranquil atmosphere. So, why not chat more? Maybe in the course of the conversation, they might catch the eye of the Lord Tianyuan?
Just like…
Just the way other lords were showing off their talents before him.
Thinking of this, a few of the heroes fell silent, but then they looked at the aweinspiring presence of Tianyuan Lord and felt that it was worth putting aside pride and arrogance at the moment.
Once they pledged allegiance, the heroes and the lord were practically bound together. In this case, with the God Jade in front of them, how could they possibly be interested in other talents?
Moreover, Lord Tianyuan is very young, and it’s said that only a few months have passed since he took control? Isn’t this the most appropriate time for him/her to assist the lord and make achievements? Even if more heroes join in the future, they will be well-deserved super veterans.
Thinking of this, between the few, or dozens of heroes, there were faint sparks in their eyes, but they were still chatting happily, all smiles.
They could sit patiently, and the Great Lord enjoyed the chat, but the other lords who were watching from not far away were anxious and bitter.
“Hurry up already!”
“We know you’re awesome, but who exactly are you planning to recruit? Make a decision quickly!”
At this point, even the Queen, the Lord of Glory, the Lord of Kong Ming City, and so on, had to be grateful for the rules of the Hero’s Festival.
It is said that the purpose of this rule is to prevent top lords from monopolising heroes, eating from their plates while also taking from the pot, and not leaving even a drop of soup for other lords.
They had initially cursed this rule.
With their abilities, if not for the rule restrictions, they would be able to recruit three or four heroes – if they couldn’t recruit highly ranked ones, they could use ordinary heroes to make up the numbers.
Who would think that they had too many heroes?
But now, they just wanted to be thankful, give praise to the rules, and pray that Lord Tianyuan wouldn’t set his sights on the hero they had their heart set on. This way, even if there were unexpected difficulties, the targeted hero would ultimately end up in their bowl.
The Lord of Yongxing Empire had a grim look on his face.
He, as the son of the Duke of Yongxing, a future top lord, could only pick up the leftovers of others? He couldn’t bear this humiliation!
He walked forward, the overwhelming knife intent emanating from his extreme anger, like a sharp blade at one’s neck, threatening to leave a bloody mark at any moment. The surrounding lords were frightened, scared, and angry.
“Hmph!”
Suddenly, a sword intent soared across the sky, like a giant sword flying from the end of the sky, fiercely cutting through this overwhelming knife intent.
A slender young man in white came from not far away.
He wasn’t holding a sword, he himself was the sword.
“Boss Wuji!”
The Lord of Tai Xuan shouted.
The Lord of Yongxing also had a grim look, but what he found more difficult to bear was that the artistic conception of the young man in white was not beneath his own, and even… slightly higher.
Hmph, just a warrior!
He still took a step back.
“Wuji isn’t too bad, easy to get along with.”
Mu Yuan secretly pondered, having a vague idea in his heart.
Of course, even if Wuji hadn’t made amove, this Lord of Yongxing wouldn’t have been able to make much of a splash. Not to mention that this was the Festival Grounds, where hurting others was prohibited, and no matter how strong the artistic conception was, it alone could only compete against the air. Moreover, of the more than a dozen heroes around him, over half could easily beat the Lord of Yongxing in terms of artistic conception.
What do you call top-level heroes, huh?
Most of the heroes present were young. During this time/in their previous lives, most of them were only at the Second -order Elite Level or Third-order Warlord Level. But every one of them had a high level of artistic conception.
Don’t look at how Mr. Mu easily mastered artistic conception, but actually, he just benefited from the ‘Hero Duel Arena’, and his own qualifications were only average-grade super excellent.
Unlike this batch of heroes – Wild Heroes like Dragon Blood Martial Maiden ‘Xi Liu1 were homeless, wandering, and often unsettle. They did not even have a good environment for practice.
Ancient Heroes, their backgrounds were not noble as well.
Fei Xi, although a princess, was a princess of a small country. She was even offered as a sacrifice to the giant beast in the sea. Her living conditions could not be described as miserable, just that her entire life was quite tragic.
Holy Light Master Sacrifice Windsor, although a bishop, was only a bishop of a small church. Without the divine favor, his whole church was smashed and he was listed as a wanted criminal.
Great Arcanist Blaze, the one among the ancient heroes who lived the longest, was already at the peak of the Fourth-order Leader Level during his life. Unfortunately, if Mu Yuan were to recruit, the reconstructed body of the Great Arcanist would only be at the Elite-level.
The country where he came from was just a small to medium kingdom. In his later years, he suffered a bad end, being killed by enemies of another country even at his old age. The library of the entire country was burnt down.
Looking at this, the heroes of the Festival Grounds either lived miserably or died tragically.
But they were indeed of outstanding talent.
Moreover, more than half of the heroes present had venue skills, and everyone had a legendary demeanor.
“All of you are unparalleled talents, and I long for the opportunity to work together. However…as you all know, the rules of the Secret Realm have imposed limitations, and I can only invite one hero. And currently, my Tianyuan Territory needs a learned and versatile hero more.”
General Long Xiang, the Ghost-faced Swordsman, and other heroes were in a hurry.
In this world, being able to fight is the most important thing. Being learned and versatile isn’t necessary at all!
But no matter how anxious they were, it wouldn’t change Lord Tianyuan’s mind. Moreover, how could their ‘military generals’ possibly outtalk these ‘civil officials’ like the Great Arcanist? They were quickly refuted and rendered speechless, seeming like they might be stripped of their hero status the very next moment.
The princess of Pure Water, ‘Fei Xi’, was also somewhat disappointed. Although she was far from being erudite and talented, she had anticipated that her compatibility with Lord Tianyuan was not very good. Even though Lord Tianyuan emanated a very vast ‘Elemental Aura’, this aura was merely hidden within the golden radiance, amounting to nothing more than a minor speck.
“However…”
“Although most of us cannot co-build territories, there is definitely room for cooperation in the future. Princess Fei Xi, how do you find my friend Liu Miumiu? She is extraordinarily beautiful, her troop type and talent are quite compatible with you, it’s just that she has not been building territory for a substantial amount of time.”
Mu Yuan brought over Liu Miumiu, who was not far away, and pushed her in front of Princess Fei Xi.
After all, it was the sister of a wealthy lady. Helping her out was not a strenuous task for him.
Liu Miumiu stared blankly and said “Ah” in astonishment. Before she could react, her simple but clear eyes met with Princess Fei Xi’s gaze, blinking continuously.
Princess Fei Xi was also momentarily dumbfounded before she sunk back into her thoughts the next moment.
Perhaps…
This wasn’ t an entirely bad idea!
She had been paying attention to Lord Liu Miumiu of Huan Chao for some time. While her status terms were relatively weak, they were extremely compatible with Fei Xi and working with this female lord might be quite comfortable. Moreover, as Lord Tianyuan said, if she accepted Liu Miumiu’s invitation, they would have the potential to collaborate in the future. And if she…
If she accepted the invitation from that Queen Lord, she feared they would become enemies when they met again.
“Then let’s settle it!”
She grabbed Liu Miumiu’s fair hand and made an immediate decision.
Liu Miumiu’s response was another confused “Ah?”.
The sudden surprise left her speechless. She didn’t know what to say, but her face grew slightly flushed, and she could barely contain her excitement.
She turned around and hugged Tianyuan tightly.
Mu Yuan thought: I kindly help you, and you dare to take advantage of me? Damn it!
At a distance,
The Queen, Lord of Shen Yao Empire, was listening intently. When she saw Tianyuan not intending to recruit Princess Fei Xi, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as she thought to herself, “Know your place.”
However, the next moment, the Princess Fei Xi that she had been yearning for was captured by another Tai Xuan Lord.
Hold on a minute!
Is there no law left in this world?!
Nevertheless, all this was within the rules.
Pushing one or pushing several remains the same.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting and wanting to bolster the Tai Xuan Alliance, Mu Yuan recommended Jiang Luoxing, Wuji, and Yu Siyu to the heroes.
Some rich men and women wanted to offer him a service fee, but Mr. Mu declined.
He’d rather have a favor in return.
While these rich men and women might not be formidable on their own, their network of contacts is indeed powerful.
To survive in the Eternal World, in addition to being strong in combat, it is indispensable to have connections, background, and power.
Selling more favors could mean getting preferential treatment when going out in the future.
In reality,
Mr. Mu’s recommendations were not that powerful. Princess Fei Xi’s acceptance of his proposal had much to do with Liu Miumiu’s own excellence.
His recommendation accounted for only a small proportion.
Even though sometimes this slight force could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
If a person were not particularly capable, such as a certain Jiang Luoxing who provided him with much information, they might still get despised by the heroes.
The already powerful Lord Wuji, with his recommendation, had a wider range of choices. He successfully recruited the ‘Knight of Dawn’, who was not only strong in combat but also loyal and strategic.
This was, in Mu Yuan’s opinion, the hero most suited for Wuji.
After reading Wuji’s information, he was indeed a martial arts fanatic, incredibly talented in combat but his territory management was quite average. For Wuji, having a stalwart general is good, but a commander who can help him strengthen his territory, who is capable of both literature and martial arts, is the key to bringing a qualitative leap to Wuji’s territory.
“Thank you for your recommendation, brother. If there’s anything you need in the future, just say the word.”
Wuji made a fists-across-chest salute and said solemnly.
On the side of the long table, many heroes had now understood Tianyuan’s choice and their expressions were complex. They looked at the girl with pink longhair, “Congratulations.”
Mu Yuan also walked up to her.
The girl was not tall, or rather she was somewhat petite. She was dressed in a light purple dress that flowed down to her knees, and below which were black stockings that wrapped around her legs. She wore ornaments on the hem of her skirt, chest, earlobes, and fingers, producing a tinkling sound as she moved.
While her facial features were exquisite, she didn’t particularly stand out compared to the Holy Light Master Sacrifice, the Valkyrie, and Dragon Blood Martial Maiden. Only her eyes were incredibly profound, as if they contained countless constellations.
The Star Maiden, Isloa.
“Profile: Isloa was born in a remote town of the ‘Eagle Kingdom’, awakened her bloodline at fourteen; entered the Central Magic Academy in the royal capital at sixteen; mastered all theoretical techniques and mid-level techniques across different categories at seventeen, and invented the Art of Gathering Stars by observing the stars at night, earning her the title of ‘Master of all Magics’;”
“The same year, she defeated all the contenders in a magic debate, including the heads of various departments of the academy; she also improved and created various techniques, even offering classes in the large lecture hall as a student, virtually establishing a new department.”
“The next year, Isloa was revealed to be a witch; she was considered impure and ominous for she had the blood of a monster running in her veins – and she was forced to leave the Central Magic Academy.”
“Another year, the prodigious Isloa fell in the depths of the wilderness.”
