Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord Chapter 242 The Essence of Daoism

242 The Essence of Daoism
It seemed like a high-level battle was even more difficult than he had imagined. However, he achieved a lot of benefits from this fight. The Third Prince of the Elves had joined him, after all.
Xu Yuan’s gaze swept over the Third Prince’s attribute panel.
[Level 63]
[Strength: 1700]
[Spirit: 1820]
[Agility: 1576]
[Constitution: 700]
[Skill: Dark Corrosive Arrow]
[Note: the first Night Elf, S-class troop type, good at assassination and protection missions.]
The attributes were not that bad. His Constitution was slightly weaker. He had the frame of a fragile archer. However, Night Elves had advanced invisibility skills, which allowed them to become one with darkness!
“From now on, you will be in charge of the daily patrols and reinforcement missions,” said Xu Yuan to the Night Elves.
The Night Elves had a lot of room for improvement, but it was possible that they could easily advance to SSS-class in the future.
Furthermore, they had concealment abilities that could be used to guard the territory more effectively. The enemies would find it a lot harder to sneak in with them standing guard.
“As you say, Your Majesty!” The Third Prince didn’t question Xu Yuan. As a mixed-blood who was looked down upon by other pure-blooded elves, he was grateful for being converted into the first line of pure-blooded Night Elves. It was enough to show the immense power that Xu Yuan held.
As for Su Wan, she was ignored by everyone.
‘What a joke!’ thought the Third Prince. It was unbelievable to think that such a powerful being was bound to a human Overlord. ‘Perhaps one day the Overlord would die, and we can peacefully follow His Majesty.’
“D*mn it, I’m the Overlord!” Su Wan stomped her feet in anger.
Xu Yuan didn’t want to hurt her feelings, so he nodded at the Night Elves as he acknowledged her.
“Greetings, My Lord!” The Third Prince saw Xu Yuan nod at them. Thus, he bowed to Su Wan.
Su Wan felt a little better.
“You should familiarize yourself with the territory first. I will arrange a separate residence for you as soon as possible. Tomorrow, you will follow us to kill monsters and level up,” said Su Wan. “What’s your name?”
She turned to the Third Prince and patted him on his shoulders. She wanted to show him that she was a considerate Lord who cared about her subordinates.
“Scarlen, My Lord,” said the Third Prince. He was confused. What did she mean that they would kill monsters and level up?
Could they not level up by absorbing energy from the Territory Core?
Ever since Scarlen met Su Wan and the others, he couldn’t fathom how they leveled up by fighting in a battle.
Su Wan wasn’t surprised at his reaction. She smiled amiably. She glanced at Xu Yuan.
Since the matter had been temporarily resolved, Shi Linglong and Zhao Qingrong bid their farewells and returned to their respective territories.
…
Su Wan and Xu Yuan returned to the Dark Castle.
“Look, I am telling you now that I am your Lord. If you want to find another hero and mate with them, you need to tell me. You will have to seek my permission!” Su Wan’s jealousy exploded.
“What are you even talking about? I was just asking her about the Four Pillars of Light. This battle might be because of the plot concocted by the Lord of the Sky,” said Xu Yuan. He really wanted to pry open Su Wan’s head and see what unnecessary things she hoarded inside.
He finally knew the reason for her anger. ‘Do I look that desperate?’ he wondered.
Su Wan’s face turned somber. She had thought that this was just a simple feud between the Light and the Dark. Her territory had just been swept into the middle of the chaos unexpectedly. However, now she had a bad feeling about all this.
What would the Lord of the Sky do if their abilities were exposed? Could it be that this war was aimed specifically at her territory?
If the Lord of the Sky personally led an army to attack her territory, would they be able to withstand it?
The potential displayed by Xu Yuan was indeed terrifying, so it was justifiable for the Lord of the Sky to be wary.
If she was the Lord of the Sky, she would also try to pluck the threat before it took root.
Su Wan suspected that her understanding of Xu Yuan and his abilities were next to none. This dragon might be more than he let on.
The Light-Types lived to destroy and eliminate the Dark-Types.
“Why don’t we lie low for now and strike back when we are stronger?” asked Su Wan.
Xu Yuan was surprised at Su Wan’s lack of awareness. He wanted to give her a thumbs-up for being so removed from reality. She had almost mastered the “go with the flow” essence of Daoism. Perhaps if she was given a thousand years to practice it, she might become a new god.
Unfortunately, they were already exposed.
“Seriously? Do you think that is possible? You are in the limelight after winning the Inter-Campus Tournament. You emerged victorious after competing with 100 other academies. You really don’t think the Lord of the Sky will look the other way if you lie low, do you?” Xu Yuan shook his head helplessly.
The Lord of the Sky probably knew about the existence of the Dark demon Dragon. The pursuit of the Night Elves was really just a show for distraction.
“So, the battle isn’t finished?” Su Wan held Xu Yuan’s head and cried bitterly.
It hadn’t been easy for Su Wan to collect resources and develop her territory. She couldn’t just leave it to be destroyed, but the enemy this time was the Lord of the Sky…
He must be at least of the SSSS-class. How would they be able to withstand his attack?
“Don’t worry,” said Xu Yuan. “We aren’t at the end of the rope yet. We still have many strong troop types. We have scrolls to strengthen the territory’s defenses. I think we can withstand the Lord of the Sky and what he might launch at us.”
Since they had already been exposed to the world, they might as well complete all the missions and get better rewards. The more trump cards they had at their disposal, the greater their chances of fighting the Lord of the Sky!
In fact, Xu Yuan already had a plan in mind. Now that his agility, strength, spirit, and vitality had all been raised to more than 3000 points, there was almost no being that could defeat him.
He had to break through the Level 70 threshold as soon as possible.
Su Wan wasn’t convinced by his words. She felt that something was terribly wrong, but she couldn’t put a finger on it.
…
The next morning, Su Wan gathered all the troops, along with the Night Elves, and led them to slay monsters and level up.
After the attack from the Light-Types, Su Wan felt an urgency to strengthen herself and the Territory Core so that they would be ready if another attack was launched on the territory.
From the pitch-black void, strange creatures kept emerging.
Scarlen shot his magic arrows. He was shocked. The creatures made his scalp go numb with fear.
If he died here, his Lord probably wouldn’t be able to resurrect him.
His Majesty, Xu Yuan, and the Lord, Su Wan, used such creatures to level up while it made him tremble in fear. Scarlen thought that they were really not ordinary. They used the creature to level up while he was still reeling in shock.
Suddenly, the eight-eyed creature was charging at him at full speed. It reached Scarlen’s side. He felt as though he had suffered a blow to the head. His ears buzzed.
The eight-eyed creature lost control of its body in an instant, and the powerful inertia of its movement caused it to fall to the ground.
Scarlen fell to the ground too. He suffered a long wound on his side.
The other Night Elves were terrified. They wanted to help the Third Prince but were too far away.
Blood splattered everywhere as the creature sank its teeth into Scarlen’s neck.
“Tsk,” said Su Wan. “Scarlen is weak. He died so easily!” She was only teasing him.
The other troops also laughed, as though this was all very ordinary.
The Third Prince was dead!
The Night Elves were shocked at the Lord’s reaction. Nobody even appeared sad at the Third Prince’s demise. Could it be that the Lord had not entirely accepted them as her own?
