"Shen Lu, what is your occupation?" asked Duan Li after they made some small talks while eating together.
"Eh? My occupation is the Strategist class! I am a 3 star rank Strategist!" replied Shen Lu with a wide smile and a wink. It seems that he was quite proud with his occupation.
Hearing that the friend in front of him was a strategist, Duan Li came into a realization, "No wonder his offer was quite alluring before.. it seems that it was because of his occupation.. did he use an enticement skill arts on me?"
It was pitiful however, that Duan Li didn't had the chance to retrieve the blood from the One Hundred Thousand Graveyard lake. However, he did tempered his physical body inside that lake during his eventful adventure. Therefore, he decided to test his own blood later on and would remind Shen Lu about their previous deal when he was successful.
Otherwise, he would just have to go back to the Eternal maze to retrieve some from the lake. Although by that time, he would probably be teleported into the Second region and the difficulty would definitely be not simple like the first region.
As if knowing what Duan Li was thinking, Shen Lu spoke out hurriedly, "Relax brother, I did not use any enticement skill arts on you. That was purely due to my charisma alone heheh!"
"Anyway, Wang Xiaolun here is a 3 star rank Warrior, he is now only half a step to be promoted to the 4 star rank warrior!" continued Shen Lu as he gestured with his thumb to point towards Wang Xiaolun by his side.
The latter as usual, only nodded and replied with a simple sentence, "That's right."
"I just submitted my occupation form two days ago, and I applied for the Spellcaster class!" said Xiahou Yu besides Duan Li as she bit that golden crispy fried chicken with a crunchy sound.
When Duan Li noticed her cultivation states before, he couldn't help but to be astonished and impressed!
Level 5 Qi condensation realm!
Such a cultivation speed was definitely tyrannical! A true genius!
"What about you Duan Li? What did you applied, for your occupation?" she asked slowly.
"I... I applied for the Lord class occupation!" replied Duan Li as he lowered down his head while scratching the back of his head.
He was expecting for them to advice him to change his occupation. However, the reaction he got from them was entirely opposite to what he was thinking.
Eh? The Lord class?
"Brother, you really have the guts to choose the most difficult occupation to achieve! I never thought that you would choose the Lord class occupation!" exclaimed Shen Lu in surprise sincerely. Even Wang Xiaolun by his side also appeared to be quite shocked, although the latter's expression was quite subtle with it.
However, only Xiahou Yu seemed to have anticipated this and wasn't that too surprised with the occupation that Duan Li chose. After all, with his potential in the future, it would definitely be a pity and a waste to the Jiu empire if he did not become the Lord class.
Duan Li was a figure who could transcend to the immortal realm and possibly beyond, who wouldn't want to acknowledge someone like that as their Lord and master?
Thus, without thinking too much into it, she quickly requested to Duan Li.
"Duan Li, may I become one of your followers? I promise to cultivate diligently and wouldn't let you down!" she asked with a serious face, although there were rice all over her mouth as she said this, thus making her serious expression doesn't look that serious at all.
Nevertheless, Duan Li was quite surprised with her proposal. He thought that he would have to convinced her first. Who would have thought now that she would be willing to apply to become his followers instead?
Grabbing this opportunity, Duan Li accepted her request without any hesitation as he quickly nodded, "Good! That would be great! Thank you for becoming my first follower!"
Shen Lu and Wang Xiaolun was again quite surprised, but this time, it was because of how decisive Xiahou Yu were as soon as Duan Li mentioned his occupation as the Lord class. It was then that a thought struck at Shen Lu as his brains began to pump out thoughts after thoughts.
"Wait, Xiahou Yu has also disappeared at the same time as Duan Li three days ago. Back then, her cultivation states was only at the first level of the Qi condensation realm, and now she suddenly rose to the fifth level two days ago!"
"When I asked around last time, my sources had told me that she was last seen with Duan Li as well as with both senior teacher Wang Guozhi and Ling Yu by their side, as if they were escorting them somewhere!"
"Could it be...?!"
As if the puzzle was slowly being pieced together one by one, his thoughts soon became clearer as he shifted his gaze towards Duan Li with extreme interests.
It seems that Duan Li has a secret that could help someone to increase their cultivation states rapidly! Although I am not sure yet what that is, it must be so!
If I were to also become one of his followers, would I be entitled into that secret as well?
In fact, Shen Lu's way of rational thinking was definitely logical. As a Lord class, they are obligated to share whatever resources they have to an extent, to increase the star ranks of their followers in order to increase their own star rank.
Again, this was also what made the Lord class occupation so difficult that not many are willing to do.
However, what Shen Lu couldn't grasp was, how valuable was that secret?
He exchanged glances with Wang Xiaolun, and it seems that the latter appeared to say, "I will follow your decision." from that gaze of his.
Clenching his fists tight, Shen Lu's eyes gleamed like a wild tiger that was about to pounce on its prey as he decided to bet everything!
An opportunity might come twice, but by then, the pie would already be eaten thrice!
Therefore, following his instinct, Shen Lu spoke out almost immediately.
"Brother, Me and Wang Xiaolun here also wanted to apply to become your followers! Would you be willing to accept us?"
EH?
What is happening here?
Why are they requesting to become my followers without me even have to mention anything?
I must be blessed with the goddess of luck!
"En! I would be comfortable to have you both as my followers as well! I promise to never mistreat you guys as my followers!" said Duan Li in excitement.
Now that he already has 3 followers, he needed 7 more! Duan Li wondered if he could get those 7 members as easily as these 3 friends of his. By then, he would be able to become a one star rank Lord class!
However, what Duan Li hadn't expected was, there were already some people whom had put him inside their radar and his background was already being checked and uncovered by some of these people.
The result was quite shocking as they discovered that he has some sort of a connection with two senior teachers, a chief doctor from the royal palace, and the principal himself!
Not to mentioned, it seems that his mother was a famous figure from the Subjugation squad some decades ago!
In addition, both Shen Lu and Wang Xiaolun has quite the reputation as well. This was especially the case for Shen Lu, as a lot of people had acknowledged him as a genius in his occupation other than his battle prowess and cultivation!
Thus, although they weren't conversing out loud, many people were silently eaves-dropping on their conversation. Therefore, when they heard these two reputable figures were requesting to become Duan Li's followers, they were alerted as an epiphany struck onto most of these people, especially those that hadn't yet learned of Duan Li's background.
"Both Shen Lu and Wang Xiaolun requested to become that fella's followers?"
"Shen Lu is a brilliant Strategist, he has never made any move that would only bring small benefits to him before! Why does he wanted to become that person's followers without the other party even bothering to offer him?"
"Something is definitely going on here! That person appears to be a new student that just applied for the Lord class, to think that two senior students with reputable background would apply to become his followers? This is definitely unheard of!"
"A Lord class is someone who shares their resources with their followers, unless that person was an idiot, no one would apply for such a difficult occupation without having some sort of a powerful backing to them!"
"Quickly, hire some investigators or buy information from the Strategist club! Pay them more than what others offered for this information! We must capitalize on this opportunity!"
Whooshh!
Whooshh!
Whooshh!
In less than a few breaths, some people inside the cafeteria began to vanish one after another, as if their stomach was acting funny and they had to quickly leave for the toilet!
Even Duan Li realized these peculiar atmosphere in the cafeteria.
"Eh? What's wrong with them? Why are some of them looking at us intently like that?" asked Duan Li as he grew more nervous with their deep stares, as if scanning his body down to his private parts!
Damn it! I'm a straight man, don't you guys dare to go overboard right now!
As if noticing the panicky look on Duan Li's face, Shen Lu chuckled out.
"Relax brother, they were probably listening to our conversation before and was quite surprised to find out that a new Lord class was available! They were probably eager to also become one of your followers!" said Shen Lu as he laughed.
"Is that so? I thought a Lord class would have to work hard and invite people to become one of their followers..." replied Duan Li as he cupped his chin, a little bit suspicious with what was happening right now.
Naturally, what Shen Lu just said was correct. Those people were definitely eager to try and become one of Duan Li's followers, but what he didn't mentioned was, that his and Wang Xiaolun's reputation was what made it so explosive!
He thought that a true strategist should be humble and never boasts openly about themselves to others.
However, what Shen Lu did not calculate was, their reputation was only so much and could only create a small stir at best!
What had actually made the surrounding to have an explosive reaction was caused by someone standing not too far away from them, observing the whole situation with a wide smile.
This person appears to be elderly and ordinary, almost as if a janitor doing his daily routine inside the cafeteria. But if people were to observe this person's minute gestures and disposition, they would soon realize that this figure was definitely far from being ordinary!
"I never thought that Bian Tianyu would personally ask me to help this boy recruit his followers from the shadows..."
"I just have to wait and see if all these was worth it..." this person then chuckled out as he left the canteen with his hands clasped behind his back, a unique disposition flowing out from him that was subtle, yet firm as the Mountain Tai!
This person was the Vice-Principal of the Jixue Knights Academy, Zhang Shi, an 8 star rank Strategist class!
