162: Chapter 158 Making History, The Projection of the War King

Three days later.

The villa's backyard.

Thump, thump, thump...

Dull thudding sounds echoed rhythmically through the air.

The Iron-Eating Beast clenched its fists tightly, holding a standard horse stance.

It was practicing Tai Chi over and over again.

It had been practicing for three whole days.

Ever since Instructor Li Miaozhen left that day, the Iron-Eating Beast had not done a single push-up.

It spent all its training time on practicing its punches.

"I must succeed!"

"Master, I will not let you down."

...

Villa living room.

Lu Yuan lay sprawled on the sofa, eyes slightly closed.

Two maids were kneeling behind him, massaging his shoulders and temples.

"Mmm~ So comfortable~"

Lu Yuan let out a comfortable moan.

These past few days, although most of the fighting was done by his Magic Pets, as a Summoner, the mental exhaustion was still significant.

This was absolutely not an excuse for him to be lazy!

Just then,

"Lu Yuan!!"

An excited voice came from outside the door.

Principal Wu Long's face was flushed red, and his eyes shone with excitement.

He rushed to Lu Yuan, grabbed his shoulders, and shook him vigorously.

"Lu Yuan! You've created history again!!"

"Your Magic Pet... your Magic Pet has cleared the Tower of Conquest!!!"

Lu Yuan patted Principal Wu Long's hands, signaling him to calm down.

"Clearing it is just clearing it, no need to get so excited."

"It's something anyone with hands could do."

!!!

Principal Wu Long wanted to curse.

That was the Tower of Conquest.

It was one of the most challenging trials in Star Academy!

After clearing it, one could obtain an inheritance from the cosmic stars!

For so many years, countless people had tried their best, one after another, but none could even reach the 20th floor.

Lu Yuan, a freshman, had just finished his entrance test and already managed to reach the summit.

And he was being so humble-braggy about it?

It was truly... too much!!

Principal Wu Long took a few deep breaths, choosing not to lower himself to Lu Yuan's level.

"Since the establishment of Star Academy, no one has ever been able to clear it!"

"Even the top professionals in the world today have only reached the thirty-fifth floor at most!"

"But your Slime..."

"It cleared it all!"

"All thirty-seven floors!"

"Completely cleared!"

Lu Yuan gently patted his shoulder.

"Don't get excited, Principal."

"It's just basic operation."

These past few days, he had been lying on the bed slacking off.

But his other Magic Pets hadn't been idle.

Lu Yuan had let them go out to challenge the Tower of Inheritance.

Slime challenged the Tower of Conquest.

Demon Pill challenged the Tower of Infinity.

Goblin challenged the Tower of Spirit.

Little Skeleton challenged the Tower of Starry Sky.

The four major Magic Pets were each focusing on one Tower of Inheritance.

He hadn't expected...

That Slime would be the first to clear it.

"That Slime guy... actually did quite well for me."

Lu Yuan stretched, put his arm around Principal Wu Long, and walked out.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Principal Wu Long nodded repeatedly and took Lu Yuan towards the Conquest Academy.

...

Conquest Academy.

At this moment,

The entire academy was packed.

Everyone was looking up, staring fixedly at the towering black tower that reached into the clouds.

Above the tower, a huge light screen was suspended.

On the light screen, a line of text was clearly displayed:

[Tower of Conquest — Leaderboard]

[First Place: Lu Yuan]

[Cleared Floors: 37 (MAX)]

[Obtained Starry Sky Inheritance: Conqueror!]

Hum—!!!

A blinding white beam of light shot up from the top of the Tower of Conquest into the sky!

Within the beam of light,

A huge figure slowly emerged.

It was a giant dragon over a hundred meters long!

Its whole body was covered in crystal-clear blue scales, refracting brilliant light under the sun.

Its wings were fully formed.

They were no longer the semi-transparent Slime wings from before, but real dragon wings made of flesh and scales!

Its head was held high.

On top of its head, two dragon horns were as crystal-clear as crystal.

From its mouth, a dragon roar that shook the heavens and earth erupted.

"Roar—!!!"

Slime!

No.

It should be called—Dragon Slime!

Looking down from above, overlooking all living beings.

"Humans, look up, worship, and submit."

The bell-like voice spread throughout the entire Star Academy.

Triggering another wave of cheers from the crowd.

"Holy crap! It's really a dragon!"

"King Slime has really turned into a dragon!"

"This, this, this... is this not real?!"

"Long live King Slime!!!"

In the crowd, an excited, cracking voice stood out.

He Yehua!

As King Slime's number one fan.

She was already so excited that she was teary-eyed.

"King Slime! Look here! Look here!!!"

Slime lowered its head and glanced at He Yehua in the crowd.

Then, it proudly raised its head.

"Mmm."

"This King has seen you."

"As this King's number one fan, you have good taste."

"This King appreciates you."

Upon hearing this, He Yehua was so excited she almost fainted.

After King Slime finished showing off, it was just about to breathe another burst of dragon's breath to show off its strength.

Just then—

Hum!!!!

The whole world seemed to instantly fall into stillness.

The air solidified.

The sound of the wind disappeared.

Everyone's breathing seemed to be strangled by an invisible giant hand.

A black shadow slowly walked out from the scorching sun.

His pace was slow.

But with every step he took, it felt like he was crossing endless space.

In just three steps,

He came from the scorching sun hanging in the sky to the sky above Conquest Academy.

It was a sturdy middle-aged man.

Short hair.

His eyes were cold.

Wearing a simple black martial arts suit.

He stood with his hands behind his back, stepping on the void.

There was no aura released.

But just standing there, he felt like a towering mountain, pressing down so hard that people couldn't breathe.

Looking down at the common people below.

As if looking down at a group of ants.

The number one powerhouse on the Blue Planet!

The War King!

Descends!
