My beast Emperor System

Chapter 150: Life just got a bit difficult

"As an imperial knight, you are allowed to create your own forces and have any clan of choice submit at least thirty percent of their military force but I see you have no intentions of creating a force of outsiders Am I correct?" Emperor Fei said with a raised eyebrow and Lucien nodded in agreement.

He may be an imperial knight and a viscount now but many didn't care. In their opinion, Lucien I still a fourteen year old who got lucky and now acts like a big shot. In this chaotic era that is about to begin, Lucien didn't bother with strength, all he wished for is loyalty. That's why he would rather have an army of fifty that he can trust than a hundred thousand forces that may stab him in the back at a critical moment.

"Yes I intend to expand my territory and circle I wish to recruit some young, promising youths to join my side and my main force, for now, will consist of spirit beast cultivators" Lucien answered honestly, with his head bowed.

"Very well You may leave and prepare your people We will have the war meeting without you but be rest assured, you will be informed of our decisions" Emperor Fei said and the wuxing clan head nodded his head in agreement.

"Thank you!" Lucien said before he turned and left, not looking back.

Seeing his figure that constantly released small amounts of gray mist, Emperor Fei couldn't help but smile. Lucien is someone who he couldn't predict his future or how far he will go. You make plans and suddenly he gains an unknown power and stuns everyone. This is what he wished to see in the young emperor candidate. In his opinion, Lucien is more capable than all nobles here. If he is actually able to get these spirit beast cultivators to his side, he will be the first man to bring spirit cultivators and body cultivators together to form a clan!

This is no small achievement!

When Lucien left the royal court he quickly headed towards the academy. The first person he wished to recruit is someone capable of playing the guardian role over his younger recruits. Someone whose strength may be overlooked and underestimated but Lucien could see his true potential.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Lucien was in a royal carriage when the notifications appeared. Since he had nothing to do, he decided to take a look at it and see what's up.

Seeing this part, Lucien's eyes twitched with pain as he felt like cursing the system. This shit I trying to rip him off again and his hard earned experience points he has stockpiled for so long. For some reason, he felt like if he had fewer empire points the system will demand less.

[I suggest you inform the people of the Tania village before making such a move. The shock of having the entire village teleported will leave kill many unprepared elderly men] Rakuzen warned while Lucien tried hard not to laugh. he couldn't help but wonder what it will feel like she something like this happened.

"You don't have to worry, I have no intentions of doing that now I need to gather my allies first before I even consider doing such. The more wonders they get to see, the more loyal they become" Lucien said calmly before shutting his eyes to rest.

Up until now, he hasn't gotten the time needed to ponder on his encounter with the old monster of the Lightborn clan Klaus. His eyes were shut tight as he began to relive the battle once again. He could remember the visions he had when he saw fought Klaus. They were endless possibilities of how the battle could have turned out and all ended in his death except one. While he may be considered powerful amongst spirit realm masters, his strength can barely compete with that of the offensive spirit realm mages and fighters. But his ability to directly harm the soul, regardless of any physical defense set up can also be considered overpowered.

Before now, his spirit cultivation pathways were all dependent on conscious effort but after attaining his martial technique, Lucien had reached a level of harmony with his spiritual abilities where it feels so natural to use them. At his current strength, he is confident of facing any spirit realm master and there is a high chance of him coming out victorious. And even when outnumbered he was sure he can flee in almost any situation thanks to his seer abilities.

"This level of strength at least makes me a force to reckon with in the continent. Apart from the emperors and champion realm masters, I have nothing to fear to think I will come so far in such a short amount of time" Lucien muttered to himself but he didn't seem excited one bit.

He looked out the window of the carriage and considered his next series of actions. While many would be proud of themselves and even celebrate, Lucien had this strong feeling that things are about to get harder. As an imperial knight, he has no choice but to fight in the wars at the front line and as an important, he doesn't have the choice to retreat or forever lose face. In his opinion, the empire expects much from him and even though it is a good thing, it is also a bad thing for someone his age.

"Life just got a bit difficult" Lucien muttered.
