Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7019

Chapter 6929: An Unexpected Joy

A moment of utter silence fell, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Then, someone shouted ,

“What?!?!”

The atmosphere exploded instantly, almost shaking the Myriad Emperors Ranking within the Myriad Emperors Palace to its core!

“It’s Yu Zhao from the Wuxiang Jade Clan! I never expected the first person to choose Li Tianming would be from a Guardian Emperor Clan, and a top genius at that!”

“Most Guardian Emperor Clan members are talented enough to become Young Emperors themselves, or disciples of Great Emperors, and conquer star systems by the time they’re tens of thousands of years old. So, very few Guardian Emperor Clan members would willingly join someone else’s army.”

“Moreover, someone of Yu Zhao’s age and strength should have already become a Young Emperor!”

Li Tianming was also surprised. “Senior Brother Yu, haven’t you passed the Young Emperor trial yet?”

Yu Zhao proudly raised his head and puffed out his chest, saying, “When you saved me, my Young Emperor Tower only had one level left. Theoretically, I could pass it if I tried a few more times.”

“But, so many years have passed, and I won’t go!”

The crowd was shocked. Someone spoke before Li Tianming, asking, “Junior Brother Yu, what do you mean by this?”

At this moment, those interested in Li Tianming’s mobilization of troops had all arrived at the Ten Thousand Emperors Battlefield.

Therefore, even without the double amplification of Li Tianming’s Primordial Lung and image, Yu Zhao could still make these people hear his voice.

“As you all may not know, I was once deceived by a cosmic bandit and nearly perished at their hands.”

“It was Junior Brother Li who saved me. During that time, I intended to attempt the final trial of the Young Emperor Tower, but on the way back to the Heavenly Emperor Sect with him, I thought a lot.”

“Finally, I decided that I would follow Junior Brother Li, not just to repay a debt of gratitude!”

“He traveled to the Nine Li Star System to save countless people, not just myself and a few other fellow disciples, but also many, many cultivators from various star systems. Junior Brother Li is a man of great righteousness!”

“Therefore, Junior Brother Li, please accept me as your follower! I want to follow you!” Yu Zhao solemnly bowed.

At this moment, Wei Wuji was stunned, staring at Yu Zhao below the stage, her beautiful eyes wide, seemingly lost in thought.

This news was too explosive!

Firstly, as a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, it was already difficult to gain a follower; secondly, she was from the proud Guardian Emperor Clan; and thirdly, she was one of the top members of the Guardian Emperor Clan!

Most importantly, fourthly, this guardian imperial clan gave up the opportunity to become the young emperor just so they could join Li Tianming’s army during his campaigns!

Each of these four points, each with its own identity or factor, is something that would seem impossible to subdue. Yet, despite these seemingly impossible reasons, Yu Zhao appears to have become a staunch supporter of Li Tianming?

Boom—!!

Another wave of shock swept through the area. Some felt their hearts couldn’t take it; even as powerful cosmic gods, their hearts struggled to withstand the repeated shocks.

Some felt a dull ache in their hearts from the overwhelming excitement, and began to doubt their own brains.

“My brain must be broken. I’m hallucinating. My eyes and ears are malfunctioning too—I’m experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations…” someone said in bewilderment.

Li Tianming smiled at Yu Zhao, “Of course, no problem, Senior Brother Yu, welcome to the Tianming Army!”

An unexpected delight!

Li Tianming hadn’t expected Yu Zhao to join, much less that she would stagnate her chance to challenge the Young Emperor Tower for him!

To be honest, he was even a little moved at this moment!

Yu Zhao laughed heartily, “From now on, don’t call me Senior Brother anymore. I’m your subordinate now, just call me by my name.”

“Alright!” Li Tianming nodded in agreement, smiling happily.

A top-tier Ghost God Clan general had joined his ranks!

This transformation from zero to one was extraordinary.

Even Yu Zhao, who was least likely to join the Heavenly Mandate Army, had joined Li Tianming.

There are many ways to repay a debt of gratitude, and Yu Zhao could even repay Li Tianming through the abilities of the Wuxiang Yu Clan. Yu Zhao’s actions had transcended the realm of repaying a debt of gratitude; it was pure personal worship!

Now, the group that had been wavering was at a critical point, all waiting for an opportunity.

They were already on tiptoe, about to take the first step, exchanging glances and observing the decisions of the others.

At this moment, another female disciple dressed in black, with a heroic bearing, stepped forward.

Her eyes were sharp, exuding a powerful aura, as if a fierce tiger was hidden within them!

Of course, this was just one aspect of her demeanor; in reality, her face was stunningly beautiful, full of heroic spirit, revealing her to be a very strong-willed woman.

She called out loudly to Li Tianming on the Emperor’s Battle Platform, “Junior Brother Li, do you still remember me!”

Li Tianming looked over, stared for a long time, and asked with a puzzled expression, “Senior Sister, who are you…?”

The spirited female disciple rolled her eyes and said, “Take a look now.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she transformed into a ghost god.

The characteristics of her ghost god body were: human face, tiger body, and nine tails!

From a dashing and beautiful female disciple, she had transformed into a ghost god with hard, needle-like hairs on her face, terrifying giant teeth in her mouth, and nine long tails like steel whips behind her!

Li Tianming blinked, still bewildered, “Forgive me for being blind, Junior Brother, I still can’t recognize Senior Sister.”

The female disciple shook her head impatiently and said, “So annoying! If you still can’t recognize me, you’ll lose this super combat power!”

As soon as she finished speaking, her body suddenly trembled, and the ghost god body that was already extremely tall among the crowd grew even larger, no longer resembling a ghost god, but more like the size of some Dao beast.

Then, the nine giant steel whips behind him lashed out, transforming into twenty-seven! Two more heads sprouted from his shoulders!

The female disciple murmured, “You really have a bad memory, Junior Brother Li. I still remember you intercepted my Young Emperor Trial once…”

Li Tianming was shocked, then slapped his forehead and said, “Lu Ziyan, Senior Sister Lu! Of course I remember you.” A

member of the Three-Source Lu Wu Clan!

This was a super genius outside of the Imperial Clan, possessing the potential to become a disciple of an Emperor!

Li Tianming sincerely apologized, “Senior Sister Lu, it’s just that I haven’t seen your clan often enough to remember it, and I’ve never seen your human form before, please don’t blame me.”

Lu Ziyan then withdrew her transformation with satisfaction.

“Seeing your sincere apology, I won’t hold it against you. I’ll join your Heavenly Fate Army.”

Li Tianming was somewhat excited, secretly thinking that he was constantly being pleasantly surprised!

However, he quickly added, “Welcome Senior Sister Lu to the Heavenly Fate Army!”

Another fierce member of the Ghost God Clan had joined!

At this moment, the Wan Di Palace and its surroundings were once again engulfed in a soaring atmosphere!

“Could this be the legendary Three-Source Lu Wu Clan bloodline? It’s said that awakening this bloodline in the Lu Wu Clan is equivalent to obtaining the key to becoming a disciple of the Great Emperor!”

“Such an arrogant genius is actually willing to serve under Li Tianming? And the two of them seem to have been opponents in the Young Emperor Trial.”

“Let’s leave aside Yu Zhao from before; he still has a relationship with Li Tianming. But this former opponent of Li Tianming is actually willing to submit to Li Tianming!?”

“What is his charm!”

However, what these people didn’t know was that when Li Tianming first entered the Young Emperor Tower, he joined forces with others to defeat Lu Ziyan and others. Later, he made various decisions in the Starlight Torrent to pass the Young Emperor Trial. All of this was witnessed by Lu Ziyan!

Only by being his opponent can one know how outstanding he is!

Lu Ziyan is not the only one. The goodwill that Li Tianming has cultivated is still exerting its effects!

Another man stepped forward.

“I am Han Lin, and I wish to join the Heavenly Fate Army. Will the Heavenly Fate Army accept me?”

Li Tianming’s eyes widened. This was an Infinite Beast Tamer, one of the people who had joined forces with Lu Ziyan to fight him!

A beautiful, graceful female disciple in green stepped forward.

“I also want to join the Heavenly Fate Army!”

Li Tianming exclaimed in surprise, “Senior Sister Liu?”

Then, he smiled and said, “You are welcome too, Senior Sister Liu.”

This person was none other than Liu Qingyuan, who had joined forces with Li Tianming to overcome difficulties and break through the encirclement and suppression of Lu Ziyan and Han Lin!

Another group of people shouted, “We also want to join! Thank you, Junior Brother Li, for saving our lives in the Nine Li Star System!”

“Good, good, good, welcome everyone!” Li Tianming was very satisfied and responded with a bright smile.

Receiving so many top geniuses had actually exceeded Li Tianming’s expectations.

For the time being, the number of people did not surprise him, but the quality surprised him!

He had never thought that the top group of people would come, but first Yu Zhao and then Lu Ziyan.

Zhang Qingqing, sitting below the stage, frowned slightly, clearly unhappy. Because she worked for the Sky Patrol Division, she wasn’t actually allowed to join the military.

“I really want to go too…”

The other geniuses reacted differently.

Wei Wuji, standing beside Li Tianming, was completely stunned. She murmured blankly, “Where did this kid get so many acquaintances, and acquaintances willing to risk their lives for him…” Huan Sheng,

sitting below the stage, had a gloomy look in his eyes. “How did Li Tianming manage to bewitch these people?”

Jiang Beichen, Huanmie, and others were very surprised and shocked; this charisma was truly terrifying.

In the private room on the high platform, Wei Shendao’s mouth gaped open, utterly astonished.

She had already gotten used to Li Tianming’s amazing talent, but she simply couldn’t accept that he also possessed such charisma.

Wei Shendao murmured, “Just how much has he done behind our backs, to make so many people respect him as their leader?”

With these people who had interacted with Li Tianming joining the fray, the balance in some people’s hearts completely tipped.

Many people unrelated to Li Tianming also stepped forward.

“I want to join the Heavenly Mandate Army!”

“I want to join!”

“Me!”

“Me too!”

Voices rose and fell.

Li Tianming was filled with excitement, and the elders who were watching the spectacle, such as the Tower Master, the Imperial Tutor, and the Judge, were also excited.

Li Tianming turned to Wei Wuji and said, “Senior Sister Wei.”

Wei Wuji came back to her senses and asked, “What?”

“Record all these people who are willing to join the Heavenly Mandate Army and compile a list.”

“I won’t do it.” Wei Wuji shook her head like a rattle-drum.

“What was our bet again?”

“Alright, alright, I’ll give you some face in this big event.”

So, Wei Wuji became Li Tianming’s scribe, taking out jade slips and other materials to record and write.
