Chapter 682: Long Live Overlord Legion

After leaving the Back Graveyard, Xiang Shaoyun went straight back to his villa. There, he got Zhuge Zhantian and Ma Qihao to call all the Overlord Legion members for a meeting. His main goal was to see the new members of the Overlord Legion. While Zhuge Zhantian and Ma Qihao were gathering the others, Xiang Shaoyun called Tang Longfei and Lady Shura over.

"Big Brother Tang, your growth is really fast! You're already a fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator!" Xiang Shaoyun said with astonishment.

As for Lady Shura, she had also reached peak second-stage Dragon Ascension Realm and was only a step away from the third-stage. Xiang Shaoyun even started wondering if he had actually left for years. Otherwise, how had they grown so much?

Tang Longfei smiled. "Shaoyun, don't you remember the vicious steel mist pearl you gave me? It helped push me straight to peak third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm. It has been half a year since then, so it's not weird that I have managed to enter the fourth-stage in that amount of time."

"I see. That vicious steel mist pearl is really a great treasure," said Xiang Shaoyun as he palmed his face. He glanced at Lady Shura and said, "Have the Di Alliance people been bothering us recently?"

Lady Shura replied, "Ever since Big Brother Tang entered the fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm, the Di Alliance people have been put in place. Even other factions no longer dare to look down on us. For now, there are no conflicts."

"Um. That's good to hear. Our focus should be on working hard together and growing at the fastest speed possible," said Xiang Shaoyun.

He asked more questions, finding out more of what had happened during his absence. Soon, the Overlord Legion members started arriving one after another. There were old faces and new faces, all of them looking at Xiang Shaoyun with reverence.

They had all learned of Xiang Shaoyun's battle with Xiao Xie. Although that battle had ended on a defeat, it was a glorious defeat. All the academy disciples shared the same opinion.

Xiang Shaoyun was only a second-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator and was about six or seven years younger than Xiao Xie. For him to be able to ruin Xiao Xie's clothes and give him a swollen eye, it was worthy of pride.

Moreover, Xiao Xie had also announced that no clear victor had been decided from their fight. At most, the fight could be considered a draw. He would battle Xiang Shaoyun once again in the future. News had also spread that Yu Caidie, Han Chenfei, Huang Xiaoyue, and Elder Xiao Wei had waited three days for Xiang Shaoyun at 1 Dragon Villa.

All that combined added to Xiang Shaoyun's prestige among the disciples. The Overlord Legion members rejoiced that they could follow an overlord with boundless prospects.

At present, they had about 80 members. It wasn't many, but on the plus side, most of them were considerably loyal.

Most of the new recruits had joined due to Tang Longfei's prestige. Tang Longfei was now ranked 95th on the Dragon Phoenix List. A rank like that placed him in a position higher than many disciples, high enough to attract a considerable number of followers.

Of course, as of late, many disciples were also considering joining due to Xiang Shaoyun's prestige. Unfortunately for them, Zhuge Zhantian had slowed down recruitment and would only resume after getting the words from Xiang Shaoyun.

"I am gratified to see that our numbers have swelled to such an extent. Perhaps we are still small and weak, but in the not so distant future, we shall be the number one faction within the Dragon Phoenix Academy," said Xiang Shaoyun solemnly.

"Long live the Overlord Legion! Long live the Overlord Legion!" the members cried out.

"Very good. I now officially appoint Tang Zhan as the deputy commander, Zhuge Zhantian as the head butler, Ma Qihao as the vanguard, and Shang Jifeng, Lady Shura, Li Haonan, Shou Xie, Yan Gang, and Zhong Xia as captains. In my absence, all of you will be in charge of expanding the Overlord Legion," said Xiang Shaoyun. For the first time, he was appointing positions in the Overlord Legion.

Along with the Overlord Legion's growth, plans needed to be drawn for its future. Xiang Shaoyun also wished to see the Overlord Legion grow into a dazzling existence. As for these appointments, he merely hoped that the legion would still have leaders during his absence.

With Tang Longfei's recent growth, he was now capable of suppressing them. Thus, appointing him deputy commander was a decision everyone supported. As for the other positions, they were appointed based on individual strength. In the future, contributions would also decide one's position in the Overlord Legion.

There were no objections to these appointments, and thus, everything was settled in regards to the positions for now. Next, Xiang Shaoyun spent some time getting to know the new members one by one.

These people were all excited to meet Xiang Shaoyun. He was their leader, one capable of battling a member of the Dragon Phoenix List's top 10. He was also one capable of attracting the visits of the beauties from the first two Phoenix Villas, and he was also capable of making an elder wait for him. He was, in a way, their idol.

Xiang Shaoyun found that a lot of them were late first-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivators, with a considerable number of them being in the second-stage as well. Their strength was nothing special, but they weren't the worst in the academy either.

Among the new members, there was also a third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, one who was able to enter the Jiao Luan List. His name was Leng Xiaoyu, and he had voluntarily joined the Overlord Legion after his defeat at Tang Longfei's hands.

He was someone with a cold expression, exuding a feeling that distanced others from him. Even when facing Xiang Shaoyun, he still maintained the same frosty expression.

"So you're Leng Xiaoyu?" Xiang Shaoyun asked, his interest piqued.

Leng Xiaoyu merely nodded, not even bothering to muster a reply. It was as if he did not approve of his leader.

To the side, Tang Longfei berated, "Xiaoyu, what is that attitude?"

At that, Leng Xiaoyu frowned before he finally opened his mouth, "Greetings, Overlord."

"Overlord, don't mind him. Xiaoyu is a stubborn fellow who does not know to be flexible with his thoughts," said Tang Longfei awkwardly.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled. "It doesn't matter. A person with strength will always possess arrogance as well." He then looked at Leng Xiaoyu and continued, "Since you are unhappy with me, how about this? This is the first time I'm meeting many of you. How about we have some fun? Let's have a fight! It will be fun!"

"Overlord, there is no need for that, right? If he dares to disobey, I will beat him up until he obeys," Tang Longfei quickly persuaded.

Xiang Shaoyun remained firm. "No, he has to fight me, or my position as an overlord won't be able to convince the masses."

"Fine, let's fight!" Leng Xiaoyu agreed, his eyes shining with a sharp glint.

"That's more like it!" Xiang Shaoyun was pleased with the answer. He said to the others, "Everyone, make some space. We will fight here."

Everyone retreated in excitement. They all wanted to see just how strong the overlord was.
