The Rise of the Dragon Warrior
Ch 172's. Rivalries
Shen Long who was already in front of the desk of the Mission Hall, instantly searched for a suitable mission for him according to the mark that Guang Chen had described earlier.
" Older, I want to take on this S-class mission." Shen Long took out one of the mission papers, then gave it to the guarding Elder.
Seeing that, the Elder looked towards Shen Long full of probing.
Although the Elder knew that Shen Long was able to complete the mission to hunt the Jade Fox before, he was not sure that Shen Long would not be able to complete the mission that was too dangerous.
" Brother Louzhy, you finally showed up too." Zhang Lee who was heading towards the mission hall with his entourage was now heading straight towards Shen Long.
" Oh, young master Lee. Congratulations on the achievement." Shen Long clenched his hands together in a respectful manner, whereupon he sensed that Zhang Lee had already reached the 2nd level of the Earth Swordsman at once, where he had originally only reached the 9th level of the Realm Swordsman.
Even Zhang Yuxing was also able to break through three levels at once, where he had now reached the 3rd level of Earth Swordsman which made Shen Long almost in disbelief.
Not only that, some Cultivators from the Zhang Clan group were also able to break through a tier 1 Earth Swordsman.
" Brother Louzhy, you don't have to be formal. All of that was thanks to the help of Zhang Yuxing who had the ability of an Alchemist, thus being able to create Pills to increase our cultivation quickly." Zhang Lee smiled as he looked towards Shen Long, even though they had actually obtained the Pill from the Zhang main Clan, so that they could make such an achievement.
Although Zhang Yuxing actually also made Pills for them, it was not like the senior of the Zhang Clan who could create high-level Pills.
" Congratulations, Miss Yuxing. You are indeed a very genius Alchemist." Shen Long who believed just like that, immediately took a respectful stance.
" Yes." Zhang Yuxing replied briefly, as he did not need such praise from anyone but a figure he knew by the name of Shen Long.
Hearing the unfriendly greeting, Zhang Lee let out a crisp laugh trying to melt the atmosphere.
" Ah, brother Louzhy... Actually we want to invite you to become a Gold Class student in just one mission." Zhang Lee expressed his purpose, as it was about time they would become Gold Class disciples.
" Hmmm, what a coincidence. This Junior Louzhy has taken on an S-class mission. I think you can work together." Said the elder on duty, while giving the mission paper that Shen Long had taken to Zhang Lee.
" Thank you, Elder." Zhang Lee took the sheet and read it.
Zhang Lee's hand trembled slightly as the mission Shen Long took was no easy matter.
Even for those who reach the Earth Swordsman on average, they are still hesitant to complete the mission.
" Have you gone crazy taking on a mission like this?" Zhang Yuxing who read the mission paper thought Shen Long was too much.
" I'm sorry, miss. I've thought about everything before. I have to do this for my development. If not, then I'll be far away from you." Shen Long was not at all angry at what Zhang Yuxing said.
Of course Shen Long was aware of his shortcomings, as he did not get the support of anyone to help his development.
If only Shen Long had a member of the Clan family like the others, perhaps he could obtain the backing of Resources that could speed up his development.
Moreover, Shen Long who had a grudge against the Heavenly Dragon Sect, he had to put in great effort to raise his cultivation.
" Sister Lee, are you sure?" Zhang Yuxing shook his head because Zhang Lee's decision was too dangerous.
" Yes." Zhang Lee replied briefly.
Hearing Zhang Lee's words, all the groups of the Zhang Clan put on a sour face as they could not resist it in order to save Zhang Lee who was the candidate for the main Patriarch of the Zhang Clan.
" Thank you young master Lee." Shen Long clenched both of his hands in a respectful manner.
" Mmmm." Zhang Lee nodded, then gave his Plaque to register.
As well as Zhang Yuxing and the other members of the Zhang Clan, they would also inevitably have to follow the wishes of the main Patriarch of the Zhang Clan.
After all had been registered, the Elder asked them to go to the place where the Elder was on duty to escort them.
" Come brother Louzhy, we're leaving now." Zhang Lee took them to the place where the Elders were on duty.
" Mmmm." Shen Long nodded, then walked following Zhang Lee along with the other members of the Zhang Clan.
As they were already gone, there were some figures who were envious of the achievements of the Zhang Clan members.
They were none other than the members of the Yang Clan and the Ling Clan who also did not want to lose to the Zhang Clan members.
" Sister, did you hear that? Many of them reached the Earth Swordsman. We should ask for help from the Ling Imperial Palace to improve our cultivation." Ling Yi Hua who did not want to lose to the Zhang Clan members.
Moreover, the Ling Clan was the ruler in the Ling Kingdom territory, then it should have obtained something valuable.
" Yes... We should ask father to purchase a high-tier Pill for our development, despite having to drain the Ling Clan's treasures." Ling Mudan who was the candidate for King in the Ling Kingdom, certainly had to be stronger so that their Kingdom was not underestimated.
" Then we have to send a message to Dad." As the Princess of Ling Kingdom, Ling Yi Hua did not want to lose to Zhang Yuxing who was only the daughter of the Patriarch of the Zhang Clan branch.
Likewise with Yang Yuan, who as the son of the Patriarch of the Heavenly Dragon Sect as well as the son of the Yang Clan's higher-ups, definitely did not want to miss far from Zhang Lee.
Yang Yuan also intended to ask his father to drain the treasures of the Heavenly Dragon Sect for the sake of his development alone.
Naturally it would become a Boomerang for the Yang Clan members later on, as it was certain that the Heavenly Dragon Sect Elder would not let that happen.
' What a care about the Sky Dragon Sect. If I am stronger, then no one would dare to oppose me.' Yang Yuan was inward, then walked closer to the mission table.
On the other hand, Shen Long's entourage, which was already in the place of the Elders who were in charge of escorting them, now went straight into the teleportation circle in order to carry out the mission as quickly as possible.
Not long after that they had reached a forest edge where the branch of the Black Scorpion Sect was located.
In the forest it was so vast that in that place there were ten branches of the Black Scorpion Sect that had many resources targeted by Shen Long.
