Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 95: Aspiration to Become a World Champion

One thing is certain, that is, the forces of the Great Tomb have definitely noticed this place.

There is another thing that is certain, that is, as long as Wu Chen still wants to obtain resources, he will inevitably create a movement on a large scale that is large enough to attract the attention of many forces.

The idea of ​​quietly making a fortune was a pipe dream from the start. The centennial mark had arrived, and whether it was the Great Tomb, the Theocracy, or the True Dragon Kings, they would inevitably pay attention to any unusual developments occurring on this continent.

Intervention was bound to come.

The time and amount of its arrival are uncertain.

Then, it would be better to make a decision. At least the part that I can definitely influence should be in my favor.

——Among all the level 100 individuals in the Great Tomb, Suzuki Satoru is the weakest, yet also the most crucial one.

—At this point in time, there's a high probability that he'll be lured here. I've provided a path for 'Dark Hero Feifei' to rise to fame in the quickest and most natural way possible. And if he's successfully lured here, the Great Tomb will be unable to stir up trouble in the Holy Kingdom. Because the Great Tomb will definitely be more than just a single force.

The Platinum Dragon King, who claims to be the guardian of the world, is likely to appear.

The Church will definitely invest resources and manpower in Wu Chen, this rising star.

Although the current Great Tomb was the strongest, it was also at its weakest point. As long as he could control it well here, he could happily complete this resource collection journey.

as well as……

——I really want to try and see if I can use this method to get the real 'World Champion' from the Voice of the World.

World Champion is a profession, the pinnacle of Yugurtlasil's specialty. This profession can only be achieved by becoming the strongest among players in the world competition. And right now, there's only one player in Yugurtlasil who holds this title.

Momonga was already at the maximum level, and it was impossible for him to upgrade or take on a new job. However, possessing the "Holy Descent," he could disregard all job requirements and acquire a job simply by meeting the most basic configuration and attributes. In other words, if he could defeat "all players" in a world-class competition, he might be able to obtain the corresponding concept and be awarded the world champion job.

Official plug-in profession.

This class boasts the most destructive single-target skill, 'Dimensional Slash,' and the ability to resist even world-class item effects, 'Dimensional Isolation.' This class offers significant improvements to various attributes, allowing top players to take on multiple opponents at once.

It doesn’t matter if you fail the bet, after all, you can still get a lot of resources.

And if it succeeds...

——Now I have a way to defeat the Dragon Priest besides relying on my senior.

Moloch was a powerful dragon priest, and the Staff of Magnus wielded by him was the true father of all spellcasters. Wu Chen stopped after clearing out two demihuman settlements. This was partly because the third was likely deserted, but also partly because he felt he needed to explore the realm of close combat.

The senior is indeed very reliable.

But it is hard to say whether there will be any unexpected changes at that time.

Wu Chen knew that among the many ancient sites in Skyrim, there was a place called "Horn Point". On the top of a mountain not far from Windhelm City, a dragon priest was sleeping in the open air.

That was Kros, a dragon priest without the ghouls to worship and sustain his magical powers. After Alduin's return, the dragon master he served would rise from the dead, but until then, he would remain alone and silent atop the Lonely Mountain. Overthrown by tyranny during the ancient Nord era, he was abandoned and imprisoned atop the mountain. This meant that of all the titular dragon priests, he was undoubtedly the weakest.

The weakest, but still a Dragon Priest. Still a Legendary Lich-level Archmage. And if the Hera Molly route proved untenable for one reason or another, then in the final days of the March deadline, he would undoubtedly choose to head to the Shearing Point for a desperate battle with the Dragon Priest Kross.

——I really hope things don’t develop to that point.

Wu Chen made his judgment and a decision. Holding the tournament was Kuirat's idea, but expanding it to encompass the entire human kingdom was Wu Chen's decision. As for the other details...

“Please leave it to me, my lord. I will contact Calca and have the Holy City of Hovanse cooperate.”

Kuilat bowed deeply to Wu Chen.

"Then please allow me to take my leave first."

She immediately exited the car and departed. She appeared relaxed and confident, completely unfazed. Clearly, she viewed Wu Chen's additional request as a test from the monarch, and she would do her utmost to fulfill Wu Chen's instructions.

Wu Chen nodded and let her go. He then returned to his large bed, found a new spell book, and stretched.

It feels great to be the boss.

All you have to do is make a request, and your subordinates will naturally do their best to meet it. As the boss, all you have to do is pay the wages and keep the job.

So--

Wu Chen opened the spell book in his hand.

The Fourth Level Magic: Charm of All Races

Damn, it's a banned enchantment spell. "I want to see if this can really ban me." He vaguely remembered that, according to D&D's design, school specialization meant abandoning a school's knowledge due to lack of time. In theory, as long as there was enough time, the knowledge of the opposing school that was banned could naturally be picked up again.

This possibility is worth a try.

So Wu Chen opened the book.

Two hours later, several maids nominated by the survivors who had been accompanying the palace carriage were summoned. They entered the carriage with joy and awareness of devotion, and were then sent out a few minutes later - their faces were filled with regret and loss, and it was obvious that in their eyes, they were not qualified to serve in the emperor's bedchamber.

It seems that the local enchantment system is indeed not easy to learn.

........................

The world started working.

Before Wu Chen's carriage approached the great wall, the news of the Regent had already spread throughout the Holy Kingdom.

"Have you heard? Two demihuman tribes in the hills were destroyed. The destructive King Hao and the demon-man Bing Yanlei were both beheaded..."

"Nonsense, there were clearly three! And the stone-eating ape Bai Lao was also killed. They were all brutal and powerful demi-human kings. It is said that the hero who killed them came from afar and was a distant relative of Her Majesty the Saint Queen!"

"Will he be canonized as a noble? Become one of the Nine Colors?"

Intelligence is spread through magic and gradually ferments and escalates under the deliberate guidance of interested parties.

"I heard that it's the bloodline of one of the Thirteen Heroes, a descendant of the first generation of Saint King's comrades. No, maybe he has the Saint King's bloodline in him!"

"Oh my god! Doesn't this mean he's also qualified to become a Holy King? Is our Holy Kingdom of Lobel about to welcome another Hero King?"

"Hush! Her Majesty the Holy Queen won't like to hear this."

Rumors spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys, spreading wildly across the southern and northern Holy Kingdoms. Some of the great nobles of the southern faction might not be happy to see such an abnormal person settle in, but they also knew that they could not possibly stop this irresistible and massive violence.

"I heard that he was a deviant person, a sage like the great wizard of the Bahas Empire."

"Could it be that our Holy Kingdom is also about to welcome a powerful guardian deity? Will that lord, like Master Fluder, recruit apprentices and build a tower?"

"I heard he looks less than thirty years old, even younger than our Holy Queen!"

"How is that possible! Also, did you just mention His Majesty's age?"

The stakes continued to rise, and the intelligence system built up by Kuiratna and the aristocratic faction over the years of struggle was now more effective than expected. Secret agents in inconspicuous clothing were seen in taverns, casinos, and even brothels, spreading information with impunity.

The Holy City of Hobans chose to acquiesce. Not opposing it would have been fueling the flames.

"I heard he killed a dragon! A green dragon!"

"His name is Dust, and the entire Paladin Order obeys his orders!"

"It is said that Lord Dust will become the regent, and everything in the Holy Kingdom will bow to him."

"The dragon-slaying hero from myth? Why didn't Lord Dust just become... Wait, is Her Majesty the Holy Queen still unmarried?"

The key point finally became clear. Within the Holy Kingdom, which had suffered greatly from the demihuman raids, everyone understood the importance of a strong fighting force. And a strong fighting force clearly needed a suitable seat.

If the Saint Queen didn't speak out, no one would object to the proposal of having an abnormal person become the regent. Even if there were one or two people who objected, they would be dealt with immediately and properly.

A piece of news finally came out - news that could feed many people and satisfy the interests of many people.

"His Majesty the Regent intends to launch an expedition, using the corpse of a giant dragon and the heads of three demi-human kings as evidence. This campaign aims to conquer at least half of the Abelion Hills. I heard that His Majesty intends to confer at least three dukes and ten earls. Furthermore, all national taxes will be halved for ten years!"

"Long live His Majesty the Regent!" - Then the farmers and merchants cheered.

"I have been practicing swordsmanship since I was a child. How can I join your majesty's army?"

"To celebrate His Majesty's coronation, a tournament will be held in Kalinxia. All warriors who perform well will have the opportunity to be knighted, and all troops that win the team competition will be able to join His Majesty's army and share this victory with His Majesty!"

"Long live His Majesty the Regent!" - Then the knights-errant, the active troops, and the great southern nobles who raised private armies also made sounds of joy.

"And, Your Majesty, as you have promised, this tournament will be open to the entire human world. Within two weeks, the world's best warriors will gather here. The ultimate winner will receive not only a body-sized stash of gold and the title of Earl, but also immense honor. This will be humanity's strongest, the champion of the human world!"

"world champion!"

Thus, those reclusive warriors, the confident heroes, and the experienced adventurers who longed for glory and powerful enemies all smiled expectantly.
