I Am Overlord

Chapter 904: Saying Goodbye to the Legion

Xiang Shaoyun saw the expecting expressions everyone had, and he was incredibly moved. He was also reluctant to part with them, but his master was right. The academy granted him too much comfort and too many benefits, making life too easy for him. If all the support was cut, he would have to work hard to search for his own resources.

He would encounter many setbacks, but he would be tempered well. Only then could he forge himself the physique and confidence of the strong. Thus, he had decided to leave the academy and roam the world, walking the path to his own dao.

"Everyone, calm down and listen to me," Xiang Shaoyun placated everyone before his tone turned serious. "I have really been expelled from the academy. Do not be worried over my matter. I am not destroying my future prospects. This is the start of my tempering. In the future, you will hear my name all over the world. I am a self-proclaimed overlord. I will never fail that title. I hope all of you can be the same. In the future, we will all surpass the Sovereign Realm, reaching the Heaven Battling Realm, or even higher realms."

When the Overlord Legion heard the seriousness in Xiang Shaoyun's tone, they had nothing left to say. Although they were unwilling to see him leave, they could not go against the academy's decision. And Xiang Shaoyun himself was optimistic about it and was not distressed at all, making them feel much better.

"Overlord, if you are interested, I can welcome your membership on behalf of Eastern Pass' Seven River Sect. The Seven River Sect is a top tier-7 organization. We have rich cultivation resources as well," offered one of them.

A different person said, "The Seven River Sect won't do. Overlord, you should join the Southern Wasteland's Celestial Saber Society. It is a tier-8 organization, and I am the young society master. If you join, I can let you have a free pick at all the resources we have in the society."

The others also started making their offers, hopeful that Xiang Shaoyun could join their organizations. If Xiang Shaoyun was willing to join, it would be the same as adding a valiant general to their organizations.

At this time, Han Chenfei said, "Stop wasting your time. The overlord is heroic and talented. He will definitely be able to create his own organization instead."

Tang Longfei said, "That's right. Your organizations are decent, but the overlord is not someone that will be another person's subordinate. If you still see the overlord as your leader, just give him some identity tokens the overlord can use in case he needs the help of your organizations in the future. I believe the overlord will repay you generously for your help."

"I thank everyone for the offers, but I have my own path to walk. I hope we have a chance to meet again in the future—to drink and have a good time together. That's all for now. Everyone should leave," said Xiang Shaoyun.

They knew it was pointless to continue persuading him, so they did what Tang Longfei suggested. Many of them gave Xiang Shaoyun identity tokens unique to them, informing him about their organizations. If he needed their organizations' help in the future, he only needed to open his mouth.

Xiang Shaoyun did not reject. He accepted all the identity tokens solemnly. Even if he wouldn't use them, they would still serve as reminders of a beautiful memory. The Overlord Legion members left one after another. In the end, only Ouyang Chuanqi, Han Chenfei, Tang Longfei, and Lady Shura were left.

"Overlord, what happened exactly? Can't this be reversed?" asked Han Chenfei.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled and replied, "There is no reversing this. Stop worrying about it. I hope you can work together to develop and strengthen the Overlord Legion in the future."

"You are leaving in such a carefree manner and throwing the burden to me. Do you think that is fair?" asked Ouyang Chuanqi lazily.

Ouyang Chuanqi knew that with Xiang Shaoyun's capabilities, even after leaving the academy, he could still walk a path toward becoming strong. Therefore, he wasn't too sad about Xiang Shaoyun's departure. He was merely unhappy that he was now the leader. He hated leading and preferred cultivating by himself.

"The world is unfair," said Xiang Shaoyun. "Brother Ouyang, it hasn't been easy for the Overlord Legion to reach its current status. Only you can keep everyone united. I hope you don't reject this. This is my final request. I hope you can agree to it."

Ouyang Chuanqi said, "Sure, I can agree. But you need to complete our agreement first."

"Sure, when I leave, we can have a spar at the mountains outside the academy," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Ok. I'm leaving. Notify me when you're about to leave," said Ouyang Chuanqi as he left after waving his hand.

"Overlord, which elder is targeting you?" asked Tang Longfei.

"It's the old bastard behind Di Lin, the Mo Clan, and the Feng Clan," said Xiang Shaoyun, his eyes flickering murderously. "Big Brother Tang, remember this. After I leave, do not do anything against them. They are far from what you guys can handle. Focusing on cultivating and growing strong is the only correct path. Sooner or later, I will settle this with them."

Tang Longfei and the others remaining saw the murderous glint in Xiang Shaoyun's eyes, so they decided not to say anything else.

"Since the overlord is leaving, let's get drunk tonight. Consider this a send-off to the overlord. May he soar above the Nine Gods Dominion and reign over the world," said Zhuge Zhantian.

"Well said. That's what we should be doing," said Tang Longfei as he slapped his thigh.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, "Ok. We won't stop before everyone is drunk tonight."

Numerous delicacies were arranged on the table, consisting of meat, fruits, and spiritual drinks. Everyone started drinking and feasting joyfully. They toasted Xiang Shaoyun one by one, including Han Chenfei and Lady Shura. They all greatly treasured this little time they had together.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the tipsy Han Chenfei confessed to Xiang Shaoyun, "Overlord, you are the first man to have ever caught my eyes. You will also be the last. Do not forget me. I will look for you."

"Well said. You have my support, Deputy Commander Han," Zhuge Zhantian piped in.

"A beauty like Deputy Commander Han is indeed a good match for the overlord," Tang Longfei agreed.

"Nobody knows what will happen in the future," replied Xiang Shaoyun indifferently. He looked at Lady Shura and said, "Lady Shura is my woman. I hope you guys can take care of her in the future."

He was tactfully rejecting Han Chenfei's confession.
