Xuan Yuantian had extracted six strands of draconic aura from the dragon phantom in total. One of them had been given to Lady Shura, and he had five left. He took four out and gave them to Xuan Yuantian, Tang Longfei, Yuan Xuefen, and Zhuge Zhantian.

Although Zhuge Zhantian did not manage to get onto the Dragon Phoenix List, he had contributed a lot to the legion. Thus, he was worthy of this reward. The other Overlord Legion members were filled with envy.

They had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would be so generous, sharing even the draconic aura. After all, a cultivator could use it to quickly grow his own draconic aura, and it was something that was rare than dragon liquid and almost impossible to encounter. Giving away a single strand was the same as giving away millions of mid-grade spirit crystals.

Yuan Xuefen was somewhat overwhelmed by the favor and quickly said, "Overlord, this reward is too precious."

"Take it. We are all brothers and sisters here. Those who have performed well should be rewarded. Only then will everyone continue working hard for our common purpose," said Xiang Shaoyun. "I still have a lot of blood devil vine roots as well. They are very helpful for growing your vitality. Those interested can trade me for them."

This was also a method Xiang Shaoyun commonly used to buy the hearts of his followers. He would prioritize them when trading his treasures, and he also used the trade to encourage additional internal trades between them. Trading was a way of improving everyone's relationship with each other. When all that was done, Xiang Shaoyun dismissed everyone.

Before leaving, Ouyang Chuanqi said, "In the coming six months, let's find a time to spar. Otherwise, I will no longer be your match when your cultivation level catches up."

"Sure, we'll find some time," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.

"Just don't blame me for bullying you when the time comes," said Ouyang Chuanqi before turning and walking away.

At this time, Han Chenfei said, "Do you have any draconic aura left? I want it as well. You need to be fair!"

She spoke with the tone of a sullen child, and when she did that, she was oddly attractive. A regular man would be completely smitten if they saw her behaving this way.

However, Xiang Shaoyun turned a blind eye and said, "No. If you want, go find some yourself."

He then ignored her and left the villa like everyone else. He started heading toward the armory. Han Chenfei clearly had no intention of letting him go. She went along with him.

"Can you stop being a pest?" said Xiang Shaoyun, annoyed.

His sole intention of recruiting Han Chenfei was to grow the Overlord Legion, not having her sticking to him like this.

"I'm not a pest!" rebutted Han Chenfei. Her expression turned solemn as she continued, "Sorry."

Xiang Shaoyun stopped for a moment before speaking with an indifferent tone, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

He then picked up the pace to shake her off. However, she grabbed his hand before he could leave, and shouted, "I already apologized. As a man, you need to stop being petty!"

Since young, she had always been a lofty child favored by the heavens. She had never apologized to anyone. Even when she wronged someone, nobody would dare to demand an apology from her. But now, she was actually apologizing to Xiang Shaoyun on her own initiative. And Xiang Shaoyun was actually rejecting her apology. That made her feel terrible, and she was on the verge of tears.

Xiang Shaoyun looked at her misty eyes and said with a cold expression, "I have always been a petty person."

He then shook off her hand and sped off.

Han Chenfei was surprised to find that Xiang Shaoyun was completely unmoved, and she shouted helplessly, "You are a bastard with a heart of stone!"

When she saw that Xiang Shaoyun was about to leave her vision, she stomped angrily before chasing after him again.

Xiang Shaoyun did not expect Han Chenfei to continue following him. He sighed inwardly, Women are really troublesome.

He was now extremely sensitive to anything related to romance. He did not wish to have a repeat of what just happened. For now, he just wanted to peacefully grow his strength. As for romance, he would let everything happen naturally.

He allowed Han Chenfei to follow him all the way to the armory. After handing over their jade plates, they were allowed entry. Huang Tianji had arrived before them and was on his way out when he saw the two enter together. Instantly, his eyes flashed with a murderous glint.

Xiang Shaoyun looked over and noticed that Huang Tianji had actually reached the ninth stage. Even so, he still fearlessly provoked, "Dear prince, it has been a while. Have you been good?"

"I have been doing well. But that might not be the case for you soon," replied Huang Tianji unyieldingly.

"Soon? Why not now? Let's get on the ring and fight to the death. I have nothing under my name, so I will be honored to fight a noble prince like yourself," said Xiang Shaoyun shamelessly.

Huang Tianji fumed from the provocation. He looked at Han Chenfei and demanded, "Is this the kind of man you like? See how he admits to having nothing under his name? He is destined to be a coarse savage his entire life and will never be cultivated into the nobility."

Han Chenfei was unhappy to see Huang Tianji criticizing Xiang Shaoyun, so she replied protectively, "His coarseness is what I like about him. At least he is real, not fake."

Her reply further infuriated Huang Tianji. He snorted coldly before exiting the armory. He had already made his pick, so there was no need to stay and be frustrated with them.

"Hey, hey, hold on. What about our deathmatch?" Xiang Shaoyun shouted.

Huang Tianji replied, "When the competition of the four academies starts, your death will arrive."

He then left, not bothering to waste any more time with Xiang Shaoyun. But inwardly, he vowed, I will definitely reap your life during the competition!

Although Huang Tianji had broken through into the ninth stage, he still wasn't confident in facing Xiang Shaoyun. After all, Xiang Shaoyun was able to fight Zhan Wushuang, which proved he still couldn't threaten Xiang Shaoyun. He planned to use the next six months to increase his strength to the very peak of the Dragon Ascension Realm. It wouldn't be too late to stomp on Xiang Shaoyun then.

Xiang Shaoyun could guess Huang Tianji's plan, but he had no fear. With his strength and trump cards, he feared nobody.

When Xiang Shaoyun and Han Chenfei entered the armory, they saw rows upon rows of weapons. There were all sorts of weapons, such as swords, sabers, spears, hooks, and whips. Each one was a top-quality emperor weapon with extraordinary strength. Just looking at all these weapons would cause one to be dazzled.

"Truly worthy of being one of the Four Great Ancient Academies. Just looking at tens of thousands of emperor weapons at the same time is enough to shake anyone to their core," lamented Han Chenfei.

Xiang Shaoyun nodded. "That's right. Each weapon is exuding a powerful aura. The workmanship of these weapons is excellent. Any one of them can be auctioned for an extremely high price outside."

He wasted no time and headed to the second floor.
