I Am Overlord

Chapter 738: I'll Be the Deputy Commander

Ouyang Chuanqi was a man of his word. Since he had promised Xiang Shaoyun, he would not go back on his words. Of course, he still wouldn't make it so easy for Xiang Shaoyun.

"Overlord, since you want me to be the deputy commander, you need to show your strength to convince me, your new subordinate, right?" said Ouyang Chuanqi with a smile.

In short, he still wanted to see Xiang Shaoyun's true trump card, curious as to whether this trump card could make him accept his new leader wholeheartedly. He had heard about Xiang Shaoyun's admission of defeat in the fight with Xiao Xie.

In Ouyang Chuanqi's eyes, Xiao Xie was nothing. If so, how had Xiang Shaoyun suffered a defeat? He found the result hard to believe. In his opinion, Xiang Shaoyun had probably been holding back.

In fact, he guessed correctly, as Xiang Shaoyun had not fully shown his trump cards back then. Usually, those trump cards would only be shown when he intended to kill.

Xiang Shaoyun narrowed his eyes and gazed at Ouyang Chuanqi before replying, "Ok. Since you want to see my strength, watch carefully."

He unleashed the Nether Soul Domain, surrounding Ouyang Chuanqi with it. Ouyang Chuanqi scanned his surroundings calmly before saying in astonishment, "This is the Nether Soul Domain? You have the blood of the Imperial Nether Clan?"

"That's right. Almost all who have seen my Nether Soul Domain are dead," said Xiang Shaoyun.

He then closed in the space, trapping Ouyang Chuanqi. However, he did not bother using his chains. When Ouyang Chuanqi sensed the threat level matching a Sovereign, he finally understood how extraordinary Xiang Shaoyun was.

"Ok. I'll be the deputy commander," he agreed in a straightforward fashion.

Xiang Shaoyun then withdrew his Nether Soul Domain and said, "In truth, I feel you can still fight me in that situation. Why did you give up so easily?"

Inside the Nether Soul Domain, he had clearly sensed that Ouyang Chuanqi was an eighth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. That was an incredibly shocking discovery. One ought to know that even Yu Ziyang, who ranked above Ouyang Chuanqi, was only a seventh-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator.

And with the fact that Ouyang Chuanqi was also a prodigy, he was most likely capable of unleashing combat prowess matching a Sovereign. Coupled with the trump cards he might have, it was possible for him to break the Nether Soul Domain.

Waving his hand, Ouyang Chuanqi smiled. "I never fight a battle I'm not confident of winning. We'll fight after I grow some more."

Ouyang Chuanqi knew well how mystical the Nether Soul Domain was. Not only could it isolate the outside world, it could also use wondrous abilities to kill those trapped within.

Despite Xiang Shaoyun's lower cultivation level, he had an incredibly solid soul. It was clearly a well-tempered soul surpassing the souls of regular Emperors, which was why Ouyang Chuanqi did not wish to fight Xiang Shaoyun. He only had 50 percent confidence in winning this fight.

And since Xiang Shaoyun had the assistance of a saint weapon like the chakram, he probably had an even higher likelihood of winning. Taking all that into consideration, Ouyang Chuanqi decided to take a step back due to his stable personality. In any case, he had a positive opinion of Xiang Shaoyun. He reasoned that it might be a good idea for them to be friends.

"Sure. At that time, I will insist on having a match with you even if you refuse," said Xiang Shaoyun joyfully.

With a freak like Ouyang Chuanqi joining the Overlord Legion, they would enter another phase of rapid growth. Perhaps they would even have a chance to reach the level of the five major factions. Nobody would dare to easily provoke them anymore.

"Alright. This place is falling apart soon. Let's leave," said Ouyang Chuanqi as he flew away.

Xiang Shaoyun followed closely behind him. However, Ouyang Chuanqi seemed to become somewhat competitive and kept increasing his speed as if to see if Xiang Shaoyun could keep up with him.

Xiang Shaoyun did not disappoint him. With every step he took, he moved over one kilometer. It was as if the concept of distance did not exist for him. This was a demonstration of the second stage of footwork intent, shrinking space.

Upon reaching this stage, one would possess an inconceivable speed. Because of that, it was not a problem for Xiang Shaoyun to keep up with Ouyang Chuanqi.

Inwardly, Ouyang Chuanqi lamented, This fellow is really a freak.

Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation level was several stages lower, yet he was no slower than him. Ouyang Chuanqi had always been regarded as a genius among geniuses, but it seemed his talent was far below Xiang Shaoyun's. If Xiang Shaoyun had the same cultivation level as him, wouldn't he be completely surpassed?

The destruction of the Gleamstar Blessed Land finally began. Explosions erupted everywhere, turning numerous rocks into fine powder. The horned shell monsters wailed incessantly as they sank into a panic.

They madly attacked the intruders as they searched for the exit frantically. The intruders who had entered in search of gleamstar water became nervous and started fleeing without any delay.

"Run! Run! This place is going to fall apart soon!"

"Damn it! We haven't even found any gleamstar water! I am truly not resigned to leaving like this!"

"Cut the nonsense. Is the gleamstar water or your life more important? Leave!"

"Let's go. I have already collected a few drops of gleamstar water. It's not enough, but I should be content."

...

A considerable number of people had gathered outside the restricted space. Those who managed to leave the space did not depart immediately. Rather, they only pulled some distance from the exit before stopping to wait for the other disciples to assemble so they could return to the Dragon Phoenix Academy together.

At the Overlord Legion’s assembly spot, those saved by Xiang Shaoyun were telling Tang Longfei what had transpired inside.

Tang Longfei exclaimed in alarm, "What? The Di Alliance trapped the overlord?"

"Th-that's right," a person replied while trembling. "H-he did it to save us. He willingly went inside the trap. I'm afraid things...bode ill—"

"Bastard! All of you are bastards!" Tang Longfei howled in anger before the person could finish his sentence.

"Di Alliance! I won't spare you!" Lady Shura roared with fury.

It was at this moment that the Di Alliance people appeared from the exit.

Situ Yan's provocative voice rang out, "Which slut is running her mouth off? Are you courting death?"

Her provocation attracted the attention of the Overlord Legion people. Instantly, the atmosphere became tense.
