Chapter 52 – General Meng Token

“Meng Tianlang from the Great Zhou Empire? ”

Northern Valiant Sword and Huang Lianxin were both shocked. They felt a sense of doom.

Meng Tianlang was ranked second on the Great Zhou’s Hero Ranking Board!

This meant he was on par with Xiao Jinghong.

He could even be more powerful than the Sword Noble.

Xiao Jinghong was just one person after all. He couldn’t be compared to Meng Tianlang, who had in his command the iron knights of Great Zhou.

The reason why he was one rank higher than Xiao Jinghong was also because of his status.

Meng Tianlang observed Ah Big and Small Er and exclaimed, “They were well-nurtured. They have within them a killing aura, suitable to put into the battlefield.”

He totally did not care about Zhou Xuanji and the rest.

Usually, in the Great Zhou, no one dared to reject him as long as he announced his title.

Zhou Xuanji said, “The great knight general, the second rank on the Hero Ranking Board, wants to snatch mounts from a child like me?”

When Meng Tianlang heard him, he turned to look at him and said, “These two dragon eagles belong to you?”

Hmm?

This child’s cultivation was at Englightening Stage Level One?

His curiosity was instantly aroused. “Child, what’s your name? Which clan or sect are you from?” he asked.

Zhou Xuanji took a step forward and replied, “Who am I is not a matter of importance. But General Meng has such high standing, what are these dragon eagles to you? It is alright if you encountered a grown-up. Just snatch it away from him. But I’m only eleven years old, are you sure you want to do this? Aren’t you afraid that this will make you a laughing stock?”

He heard some news about Meng Tianlang in the Southern Snow Kingdom.

General Meng was neither petty, nor evil, nor was he someone upright and righteous.

For people like Meng Tianlang, fame was of utmost importance.

The knight general heard and rubbed his nose, and his face became a little hot.

To be seen as a rival by Xiao Jinghong, the general’s characters were not bad. It must be remembered Xiao Jinghong’s deep-seated pride and how much the Sword Noble hated people who were dishonest, rude, and unreasonable.

Meng Tianlang stared at Zhou Xuanji and said, “Kid, tell me, under what condition will you give them to me? How about ten thousand level-three spirit stones in exchange?”

Huang Lianxin was shocked by Meng Tianlang’s generosity.

But Northern Valiant Sword looked grave still. He cursed in his heart that General Meng was trying to deceive a child.

The dragon eagles were worth much more than that.

Zhou Xuanji shook his said and replied, “No, I’m not going to give them up. They were parting presents from my parents before they passed away.”

Meng Tianlang’s face changed, realizing that this was becoming troublesome.

To bully a child was not valiant at all.

Snatching the parting gift of someone’s parents was not virtuous at all.

His eyes were burning with envy. It took him so long to encounter a dragon eagle. He immensely desired to bring them under the fold of Great Zhou’s army.

His eyes rolled in thought and giggled, “Kid, do you want to join Great Zhou’s army?”

If Zhou Xuanji were to join the army, the dragon eagles would naturally be part of his army.

Zhou Xuanji heard him, and immediately had a scheme in his heart.

He asked, “If I join the army, can you recommend me to participate in the Great Zhou Heaven Selection?”

Great Zhou’s Heaven Selection!

Meng Tianlang opened his eyes wide. This kid had such ambition!

But as an Enlightening Stage cultivator, the kid really met the criteria.

But, strangely, there was an Enlightening Stage cultivator at such a young age.

Could he be a prodigy comparable to Great Zhou’s second prince, Zhou Yalong?

He said frankly, “To participate in Great Zhou’s Heaven Select, you have to be popular too. I’m in the position to recommend you, and I will give you the opportunity to become famous, but all these will still depend on yourself.”

He knew how high the bar was when he participated in the Heaven Selection long ago.

It could be described as an entire army attempting to cross a single-log bridge.

Zhou Xuanji’s eyes glistened. “You will allow me to join the army and recommend me for Great Zhou Heaven Selection, even if I don’t hand the dragon eagles over to you?”

Little Jiang Xue, Northern Valiant Sword, and Huang LIanxin were all looking at Meng Tianlang in astonishment. Could this guy be so kind-hearted?
