What's even more infuriating is that all the girls in the group were actually crowding around him!
When the team assembled, everyone knew about Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu's relationship with Lü Cheng, so although there was jealousy, no dramatic fights or rivalries occurred.
Or rather, there's no point in arguing about it.
Mu Ningxue? Anyone who dares to utter a single careless word will be met with a sudden burst of cold air.
Jiang Shaoxu was even more direct, leaping onto Lü Cheng and spewing out lewd and inappropriate remarks. Who would dare to have any designs on him?
However, Mu Tingying and Nan Rongni actually joined in too!
Nan Rongni is a soft girl, which is one thing, but Mu Tingying, who looks down on everyone the whole time, couldn't resist the temptation either!
There are five girls in the team, and four of them have already fallen for her. The only one left, Nan Jue, probably won't last much longer either!
Is this some kind of academic training program or an emperor's trip to the south?
Were they team members or accompanying eunuchs?
"Jiang Yu, do you know that guy's background?" Li Kaifeng asked.
"Origin?" Jiang Yu asked with a strange expression.
Are you sure you want to know?
His teacher also revealed some of the things that had happened in the capital to him, saying that if there were any conflicts in the team, he should pay more attention, and if all else fails, he could also reveal a little bit of information, in any case, try not to let the people in the team do anything reckless.
Li Kaifeng looked somewhat uneasy. "Is it that exaggerated?"
For the disciple of the chief mage of the palace to show such an expression, he couldn't possibly be a relative of some forbidden spell mage councilor, could he?
"It's not an exaggeration." Jiang Yu paused.
"That's an exaggeration!"
The Emperor of the Undead Empire!
These people all claim to have powerful connections, but Lu Cheng himself is the most powerful person in this land!
The master of an undead empire!
Moreover, unlike emperors of the living, Lü Cheng, as emperor of the dead, can direct the undead to attack wherever he points!
It's no exaggeration to say that the Undead Empire is basically Lü Cheng's one-man show!
“I can’t say the specifics, and I’m not entirely sure either. My teacher said these things are highly confidential, so you’d better not pry,” Jiang Yu said.
"Top secret?" Li Kaifeng's eyes twitched slightly.
Could they be a hidden family specializing in forbidden spells?
“But if he’s so lax as captain, I’m really worried about whether we can make it to the finals in Venice,” Li Kaifeng sighed.
The university competition is different from ordinary competitions. This is a global competition, and the background is indeed very important. After all, the more money you spend as you go further, the more important your own strength is.
"You don't need to worry about that. As long as nothing unexpected happens, this year's champion will be ours," Jiang Yu said.
Li Kaifeng raised an eyebrow. "Is he very strong?"
“Even if we all joined forces, we wouldn’t be a match for him,” Jiang Yu said seriously.
"Are you sure?" Zhou Xu asked, somewhat skeptical.
Even a high-level mage with full mastery of the skills wouldn't dare say they could take on these elite college students one-on-one, right?
"Jiang Yu! I need your science explanation!"
Mo Fan shouted as he returned from reconnaissance.
"Here I am!" Jiang Yu waved.
"By the way, I warned you all, never go against him, never!"
He wasn't worried about the female team members. After all, Lü Cheng had a rather easygoing personality and was quite tolerant of pretty girls. As long as they didn't go too far, he generally wouldn't get angry.
In Lü Cheng's own words, even the fiercest kitten is still just a kitten.
In addition, Lü Cheng himself is a cat lover, so the kittens are basically safe.
But boys, please don't be like that!
……
"This should be a juvenile Crimson Demon."
Jiang Yu looked at the crimson siren in Mo Fan's hand and said.
"However, any demon clan pays close attention to its young. If you capture a cub, it will most likely attract..."
Before the words were finished, an adult Crimson Demon, three or four meters tall, appeared on a rock not far away.
Upon seeing the appearance of the Great Crimson Demon, the Little Crimson Demon hurriedly cried out for help.
"That's it?" Zhao Manyan said nonchalantly.
"Adult Crimson Demons are warrior-level creatures, and they generally don't act alone," Jiang Yu explained.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of adult Crimson Demons appeared on the high rock.
Zhao Manyan's expression froze as he looked at Mo Fan. "You weren't chased back by them, were you?"
"Uh... I thought I had already shaken them off," Mo Fan said with a dry laugh.
Even a high-level mage can't withstand being ganged up on by a group of warrior-level sea monsters. Moreover, warrior-level monsters are bound to have more servant-level monsters around them. He's a landlubber and doesn't want to be overwhelmed by the monster swarm tactics, so he had no choice but to run back.
"Your constitution, which seems to bring misfortune and trouble, remains unchanged no matter where you go," Zhao Manyan complained.
"Um, where's the captain?" Mo Fan asked.
"I went with Jiang Shaoxu to experience the local customs and culture on the island," Zhao Manyan said.
He said that under his leadership, the problems would be resolved on their own.
"And what about above the commander?"
"Take care of yourself."
……
On the other side of the island, Lü Cheng and Jiang Shaoxu were strolling on the beach.
"How are you raising my dragon cub?" Lu Cheng asked.
Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes at Lü Cheng, annoyed. "You still dare to say that? You little dragon cub are a bottomless pit."
"What's wrong?" Lu Cheng asked, amused.
"Didn't I say before that the growth costs of a little dragon are far more terrifying than those of a regular dragon?"
The stronger the bloodline, the greater the consumption during growth.
For someone like him, the transition from childhood to adulthood consumed the power of an emperor, hundreds of thousands of undead, and the faith of millions of people in the ancient capital. Even so, he had only just broken through the boundary between childhood and adulthood and entered the realm of monarch.
While the little dragon's energy expenditure wasn't as terrifying as his, it was still far greater than that of a typical monarch-blooded creature.
After all, this dragon of his has the potential to become an emperor.
"But surely advancing to the rank of commander doesn't consume half the resources of a monarch, does it?" Jiang Shaoxu said with a resentful expression.
Her family was initially quite happy to learn that she was raising a dragon with spatial bloodline and provided her with a lot of resources. However, when this little guy was in its infancy and growth stage, it consumed half of her monarch's budget!
Fortunately, this little dragon isn't picky about food; it'll eat anything.
Otherwise, she felt she really wouldn't be able to afford to raise them!
"What, you're not going to give up on raising it because you can't afford it?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Abandon your head, my foot!" Jiang Shaoxu's eye twitched slightly.
"I've raised this dragon cub to be this big, how could I just abandon it?"
"Besides, I've already signed this contract, so I'll never lose it in this lifetime."
Thanks to the Mind Stone given to her by Lü Cheng, her Mind-type cultivation benefited from the rapid increase in mental power, allowing her to advance to the advanced level ahead of schedule. Afterwards, she asked her family to help her obtain a Guiding Stone that would increase the probability of awakening the Summoning type, and she successfully awakened the Summoning type. After that, except for the National Team selection competition, she was almost always in seclusion, leveling up.
Finally, before the National Team assembled, she successfully upgraded her Summoning skill to the intermediate level, and then she directly signed the Summoning Contract.
"You've already raised it to the rank of commander?" Lu Cheng asked, somewhat surprised.
It hasn't even been a year, right?
How can you feed someone so much?
“It’s probably a junior commander now.” Jiang Shaoxu raised his right hand, connected to the star map, and released the Dark Moon Demon Dragon from the contract space.
Sensing the presence of its own father, the Dark Moon Demon Dragon bypassed Jiang Shaoxu and flew directly to Lü Cheng, flapping its wings excitedly.
It's still that tiny size, and still so cute.
"Hey! I'm your mother!" Jiang Shaoxu was completely bewildered.
This little dragon has never been this attentive to her, his own mother!
Lu Cheng patted the little dragon's head. "You were adopted."
"I am his biological father."
Jiang Shaoxu's eyes twitched violently. "What kind of biological father are you? I've raised it since it was a puppy!"
