Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord Chapter 49 Let Me See Your Ability

49 Let Me See Your Ability
The level limit of each lord and hero was related to the Territory Core.
A Level 1 Territory Core could only allow an upgrade till Level 29. Unless the Territory Core advanced to Level 2, both the Lord and the hero would be stuck at Level 9, unable to upgrade to Level 30.
If a Lord’s Territory Core was at Level 1, they would be known as Low-Level Lord.
Next, there were intermediate Lords whose Territory Cores were of Level 2. The Level 2 Territory Core only allowed the hero and the Lord to advance till Level 59, upon which they would be stalled again. The Territory Core needed to be upgraded to Level 3 for the hero and Lord to upgrade to Level 60 and above.
30 levels were the limit at each stage. If a Lord managed to reach Level 90, they would be called a Legendary Lord.
On the Blue Planet, the number of Legendary Lords could be counted on fingers of one hand. They were very rare.
Such a powerful Lord had been assassinated by the Dark Screen in the Overlord Plane. The Territory Core was destroyed, so the Legendary Lord could not resurrect again. He had died and vanished completely.
“Wanwan, we are done for! A Legendary Lord fell at their hands, what chance do we have of surviving?” Shi Linglong panicked. She thought the only alternative was for her to escape to the Blue Planet and let the enemy find her Territory Core. That way, she would have no future as
If they remained here, they would certainly be killed by the Dark Screen. Shi Linglong trembled in fear. The image of the Amethyst Liger disappeared.
Su Wan and Shi Linglong were rooted on the spot. They didn’t dare move. They knew that they had provoked a dangerous organization.
With Dark Screen’s reputation of assassinating a Legendary Lord, they didn’t think they would live past the night.
“Let’s report this to the Academy.”
Su Wan and Shi Linglong decided to report the whole matter to the Star Academy first. Shi Linglong returned to her territory which was nearby.
Su Wan needed to get back to her territory first to report the matter to the academy leaders. She needed to take Xu Yuan and the remaining troops back to her territory.
…
When Su Wan and Xu Yuan returned to their territory, the area was piled with mountains of corpses. There were dead Skeleton Soldiers everywhere.
When Su Wan and Xu Yuan stepped into the territory, the last of the Skeleton Soldier was being created in the hall.
Xu Yuan looked at the Territory Core attributes.
[Territory Core Upgrade Requirements]
[Land area reaches 0.4 square kilometers (Achieved)]
[Total resources reach 100 tons (Achieved)]
[Possess five buildings (Completed)]
[Population has reached 2000 (Achieved)]
“Everything has been achieved!” Xu Yuan mumbled softly.
Su Wan’s ears were sharp. She immediately became curious. “Xu Yuan? What is the meaning of this?”
Under Su Wan’s puzzled gaze, Xu Yuan’s claw pointed to the Territory Core.
“Eh?” said Su Wan. “All the requirements are fulfilled! But that doesn’t make sense. I still have a long way to go until I reach even a little close to Level 30.”
After the Territory Core upgrade, more types of buildings and troops would be unlocked. But it was more important to surpass the level limit.
Su Wan was only at Level 20 right now after tackling all sorts of bosses and competitions. There was still a long way to go before she could reach Level 30. She wasn’t in a hurry to level up the Territory Core.
“Do you want to upgrade your Territory Core?” asked Xu Yuan.
Territory Core was the most important thing to a Lord. Even if Xu Yuan wanted to upgrade it, he couldn’t do it without Su Wan’s permission even though he was her Initial Hero. Only Su Wan could upgrade it.
“Sure. Since you want to do it so badly, I can do it for you.” Su Wan stretched out her hand as if she was going to press a button. Then she rolled her eyes and withdrew her hand. “As if! You are in such a hurry to upgrade the Territory Core. I know you are up to something again!”
Su Wan had always been smart. She had fought with Xu Yuan many times before. She knew what he was planning.
“I won’t talk about the first and second upgrade requirements. But the third one, five buildings?! Is that why you have been building useless cemeteries and crypts?” Su Wan narrowed her eyes. Fraud Xu seemed to have planned everything right under her nose.
“The fourth condition requires a population of 2000. Is that why you created so many Skeleton Soldiers behind my back by squandering the resources?”
“Well… Skeleton Soldiers consume very few resources, and they take very less time to produce. It was a cheap and a good deal,” explained Xu Yuan.
“You! You always scheme behind my back!”
Su Wan saw right through Xu Yuan’s sinister planning. Xu Yuan felt that trouble was brewing. He thought Su Wan might use this as leverage to make him do useless tasks.
Su Wan snorted. She squatted down to reach his eye level. “Xu Yuan, look at me!” she commanded. “We are in this together, right? I am an Overlord, and you are my hero. We should work together to grow and get stronger. You want to upgrade the Territory Core because it will benefit you? That’s fine! You can just tell me so we could discuss it. Why do you always have to be so secretive? Do you think I will refuse?”
Su Wan thought this was the right time for something she had wanted to ask him for a long time. “Xu Yuan, how about this? It’s easy to upgrade the Territory Core. But we both need to show our sincerity to each other!”
Su Wan told Xu Yuan that, initially, she intended to wait till she reached Level 29 to upgrade the Territory Core. However, he had already fulfilled the requirements, so she was willing to upgrade it to Level 2.
“I will do it if you want,” said Su Wan. “I will do it to show you my sincerity. But you have to show your sincerity to me too. In exchange, let me see your ability. You don’t have to show me everything. One that I haven’t seen before will do.”
Su Wan had seen his Chaos Realm ability before. To clarify, she added that that was not counted. He had to show her something new.
