323: Level 3 Authorization

Buzz buzz buzz!

As Wang Chen spoke, an invisible force surged from the Luck Stele, directly enveloping his entire body.

At the same time.

With a bang!

Wang Chen's consciousness shook violently, and he was pulled into a mysterious space, where fragmented images flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

In the crack-filled sky, figures covered in blood desperately fought against ferocious, winged monsters.

On the blood-covered land, numerous Awakeners charged fearlessly towards the tide-like monsters.

Panic, fear, unwillingness, anger…

Countless emotions surged into Wang Chen's consciousness. At that moment, he saw the countless Dragon Kingdom ancestors, at the beginning of the will of the heavens's revival, blazing a trail through the ruins and the encirclement of countless monsters, igniting a new spark.

…

After a long while, Wang Chen slowly opened his eyes, his face still showing the shock brought by what he had seen and heard in that instant.

What he had read in books was ultimately superficial. In that instant, he felt as if he had experienced the dark years of the will of the heavens's revival, witnessing the unyielding struggle of countless Dragon Kingdom ancestors.

“Phew!”

Exhaling a heavy breath, Wang Chen silently eased the fatigue in his consciousness from the impact of countless messages, while observing a new golden inscription that had appeared in his Soul space.

This golden inscription was similar to the Soul contracts of the three little ones, but it exuded a vast and ancient aura.

After this golden inscription appeared, Wang Chen felt his entire spirit become clear, as if dust had been wiped away.

Moreover, in the Dark, he felt that he had established a more mysterious connection with some kind of existence.

As his mental consciousness focused on the golden inscription, he vaguely saw a divine Dragon, tens of thousands of miles long, roaring up at the sky.

At this moment, a realization dawned on Wang Chen: that divine Dragon was the Luck Dragon formed by the convergence and condensation of the spiritual will of countless people in the Dragon Kingdom.

“This is… unimaginable!”

He rubbed his forehead, muttering to himself.

At this moment, as the oath was established, he could clearly feel the connection between himself and the Luck Dragon, as if he had become a single scale on this Luck Dragon's body.

At this time, seeing Wang Chen withdraw his hand from the Luck Stele, Yang Daoming stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder.

“The oath has been established, it’s time for us to go back.”

As he spoke, an invisible force fell upon the two of them, making their figures instantly disappear from in front of the Luck Stele.

When they reappeared, they were already back in the conference room on the top floor of the fortress's tallest building.

…

“Marshal Yang?”

As soon as he recovered from the spatial shift, Wang Chen impatiently looked at Yang Daoming.

Everything he had experienced before seemed incredibly dreamlike to him, and now he desperately needed to resolve the doubts in his heart.

“I know you have many questions, don't rush, we'll take them one by one.”

Yang Daoming's gaze towards Wang Chen now held a few more hints of closeness.

“The Luck Ancient Stele and Wang-level expert are still too distant for you right now. With your current strength, explaining them to you would be too troublesome. When your strength improves in the future, you will naturally understand.”

“Let me first explain the Hidden Dragon List to you.”

He waved his hand, motioning for Wang Chen to sit on the sofa, then said:

“The Hidden Dragon List is the abbreviation for our Dragon Kingdom's key Prodigy cultivation plan, whose purpose is to cultivate more Wang-level and even Emperor-level experts.”

“Every Genius included in the Hidden Dragon List will enjoy a large amount of resource allocation and various conveniences in all aspects.”

“There's too much to go into detail, so I'll pick a representative one.”

Taking a sip of tea, Yang Daoming looked at Wang Chen with an inquiring gaze.

“You should know something about city-level defensive formations, right?”

He asked.

“Mm!”

Wang Chen nodded upon hearing this.

City-level defensive formations are a defensive measure for cities of all sizes in the Dragon Kingdom; during the years of disaster, they were the strongest shield against monster onslaughts.

Although all monsters within the Dragon Kingdom have now been cleared, with only those remaining for low-level adventurer trials, these city-level defensive formations are still maintained.

Because these defensive formations can be used not only externally but also internally.

With the rise of Awakeners, where great power is vested in the individual, even a low-level Awakener possesses irresistible power against ordinary people.

Defensive formations, then, are a sword hanging over the heads of Professionals; any Awakener who commits illegal or criminal acts will be struck down.

At the same time, after hundreds of years of development, the role of defensive formations has been continuously expanded, and now they possess various incredible and wondrous uses, touching upon all aspects of a city's operation.

“Since you understand, then it will be much easier for me to explain.”

Seeing Wang Chen nod, Yang Daoming said in a relaxed tone:

“Now that you have ascended to the first sequence of the Hidden Dragon List and made an oath before the Luck Stele, you automatically possess third-level authority over the defensive formations throughout the Dragon Kingdom.”

“Through the contract you've formed, you can, to a certain extent, control the Luck formation for your own use.”

“To put it bluntly, as long as you are within the territory covered by our Dragon Kingdom's defensive formations, even a Seven-Turn Professional, you can mobilize the power of the defensive formation to suppress him with a flick of your hand.”

“This…”

Wang Chen's pupils constricted upon hearing this, his face filled with shock.

To be able to freely mobilize the power of the defensive formation to suppress a Seven-Turn Professional?

What kind of powerful right is this!!

From now on in the Dragon Kingdom, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways? If he saw a Seven-Turn Professional he didn't like, he could directly suppress him, molding him however he pleased?

“Don't you dare cause any trouble!”

As if sensing what Wang Chen was thinking, Yang Daoming's face showed a half-smile.

“This right is only to protect your safety, to give you the power to defend yourself when you encounter danger, not for you to act recklessly.”

“Every time you use this right, the guys in the review department will strictly scrutinize the reason for your use.”

“If it is discovered that you used the defensive formation for personal gain, your authority will not only be revoked, but you will also have to pay a hefty fine.”

“Kid, you wouldn't want to know the amount of that fine.”

“It's an astronomical figure, enough to severely cripple a Wang-level expert.”

Yang Daoming said lightly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.

“I understand, Marshal Yang.”

Wang Chen nodded solemnly.

He was a law-abiding good kid, how could he possibly do such illegal things?!

“Good that you're clear.”

“However, when you encounter danger, you still have to use it. As long as your own safety is threatened, even if it's a bit out of line, those guys in the review department will turn a blind eye.”

“Next, let's talk about other benefits.”

Yang Daoming smiled and didn't continue to scare Wang Chen.
