The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

"Who woke us up?" The low voice that echoed throughout heaven and earth brightened up Wu Tong's eyes, and he looked thrilled. He then cupped his fist and spoke loudly, "I'm Wu Tong. I've long known about the Mystery Dragon Army from ancient times. It is my honor to revive all of you from your long sleep."

Wu Tong was a somewhat scheming person. He did not express his purpose right from the start. Instead, he lowered himself so that the army could have a good impression of him.

His scheme was well-thought out, but he licked the wrong boots. All the soldiers, including the burly man, looked confused. They did not seem delighted to wake up from their sleep.

"Did the Great Thousand World win that Grand War back then?" asked the burly man slowly.

Wu Tong immediately nodded. "Thanks to the hard work done by the seniors. The Great Thousand World eventually defended the invasion of the Extraterritorial Race."

Mu Chen lifted his eyes and said emotionlessly, "They might be defeated, but they still took up half of the Great Thousand World. Now, they are eyeing us, waiting for the right chance to invade the Great Thousand World again."

Seeing Mu Chen cutting the ground under his feet, he immediately stared at him with sharp and cold eyes.

Upon hearing what Mu Chen said, the Mystery Dragon Army finally made some noise. Many soldiers were gritting their teeth, showing their extreme hatred for the Extraterritorial Race.

Wu Tong was a little impatient when he saw that the Mystery Dragon Army did not express any intention of submitting to him. He smiled. This time, he did not conceal his intention of recruiting them. "Everyone, our Wu family is a supreme power in the Great Thousand World. Our master is a Heavenly Sovereign. If everyone lacks a place to go, you're welcome to join us, and we'll treat you with honor!"

However, the burly man just looked at him without any expression. Although Wu Tong concealed himself well, the former was someone who could see through people. With one look he could tell that Wu Tong was someone ambitious.

"Although you woke us up, that does not mean that we will submit to you," the burly man said calmly.

The smile on Wu Tong's face froze. He was furious. These fellows must have damaged their brains while they were asleep. Even though the combat power of the Mystery Dragon Army was incredibly strong, they had to be controlled by a powerful War Troop Dispatcher. Otherwise, this army would be a well-organized army, but an ordinary one. Even a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign could wipe them out easily, let alone a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign.

However, Wu Tong did not display any anger. "I do not impress you with our results. But you should know that any army will require an outstanding War Troop Dispatcher before they can shine. All of you are the elites trained by the Mystery Dragon War Emperor. I'm sure you don't want to smear his name centuries later."

The burly man nodded. "Yes, that is why we do not want to submit to anybody and smear the name of our lord." In other words, he did not think that Wu Tong was qualified to be their next master.

Wu Tong's face could not help but twitch. "Do you mean there is someone else here more qualified than me?" His blood boiled. Initially, he thought that when he woke the Mystery Dragon Army, they would be grateful to him and submit to him immediately. Wu Tong did not know that these people would be so ungrateful and picky.

The burly man swept his gaze slowly over Mu Chen and Wu Tong and said, "You will have some priority since you woke us up." The corner of Wu Tong's eyes twitched when he heard that. He gritted his teeth thinking that some priorities were better than none. He needed to have some advantage.

The next moment, Wu Tong's expression immediately froze upon hearing the burly man's next sentence. "But, some of the soldiers told me that they had a good impression with this friend over here."

The burly man was staring at Mu Chen with a bizarre look. Mu Chen was stunned, too. In fact, he was thinking of ways to impress the Mystery Dragon Army. He was not expecting that the other party would have a good impression of him.

Mu Chen looked at the soldiers below, shocked, and realized that they were staring at him. Not only that, but their gazes were also filled with respect and friendliness for some reason. Mu Chen had some doubts initially, but soon after, he blinked as though he had thought of something. After he made up his mind, his body let out a dragon roar.

Roar!

Violet radiance soared into the sky, and the Spirit of the Real Dragon in his body appeared crouching behind him in the form of an enormous violet dragon. When the Spirit of the Real Dragon showed up, the army burst out into a huge commotion. Most of the Mystery Dragon Soldiers were excited. If not for their firm determination, they might have just kneeled before it.

All these soldiers of the Mystery Dragon Army were infused with Dragon Blood to build their burly physiques. The dragon bloodline flowed in their bodies. It gave them power, and at the same time, they could feel the oppression of the dragon bloodline.

The Spirit of the Real Dragon in Mu Chen was transformed by the purest Real Dragon in the dragon bloodline. It was the royal dragon from the Dragon Clan. Hence, they could not help but feel friendly and respectful towards Mu Chen. To be more precise, they were respectful towards the Real Dragon aura and the bloodline in Mu Chen, rather than towards Mu Chen himself.

"It's really the aura of the Real Dragon…" The burly man looked at the crouching Spirit of the Real Dragon as thrill flashed across his face. From a certain angle, they considered themselves as Dragon Men, part of the Dragon Clan, since they had absorbed the Dragon Blood.

The Dragon Men did not enjoy high status in the Dragon Clan. Hence, when they saw the Real Dragon of the royal family in the Dragon Clan, it was like an encounter between a commoner and the Emperor…

Wu Tong was so angry that he almost spat a mouthful of blood. He had spent so much effort to get into this Space of the Mystery Dragon. He even used a Heavenly Sovereign Amulet to revive the army, yet these dumb*sses were not grateful at all. Not only were they cold towards him, but they showed interest in Mu Chen. Wu Tong almost wanted to exterminate the army because of this. That was, if he had the capability…

However, Wu Tong was slightly relieved. Even though the Mystery Dragon Army showed friendliness towards Mu Chen, they did not express that they wanted to submit to him. After all, these soldiers were experienced, and they all had strong minds. They would not submit to Mu Chen, foregoing everything, even though he had the Spirit of the Real Dragon.

"So, what is your plan? All of you have regained consciousness, while the Space of the Mystery Dragon lacks spiritual energy. I'm afraid this place cannot support your cultivation anymore. Without any external assistance, this place will explode in no time," Wu Tong said with a darkened expression.

The burly man smiled and said, "That is true… A fine bird chooses a tree to nestle in. We do not want to be led by some ordinary man, in case we stain the name of our lord."

Wu Tong snorted and said, "What is there to choose from? He is only an Upper Earthly Sovereign. How can he fight with me?"

The burly man shook his head. "All we want to choose is an outstanding War Troop Dispatcher. The strength is not within our consideration."

Wu Tong raged. These scumbags even said he would have some priorities. Now, they were helping Mu Chen. What kind of priority was this? Useless!

"How do you want to choose?!" Wu Tong asked darkly.

"Through the War Troop Dispatcher way, of course," said the burly man. He pointed at the Mystery Dragon Troop. "To be fair, both of you can choose the numbers of soldiers you want and circulate the fighting spirit to fight with each other. Whoever is the more proficient War Troop Dispatcher will win."

Radiance flickered in Wu Tong's eyes. He sneered. "Are we supposed to choose the same number of soldiers just to be fair?"

He had absolute confidence in his proficiency as War Troop Dispatcher, as he had trained with all the Wu family's resources. This was a Wu family secret. Others only knew that his spiritual energy cultivation was strong, but no one knew that his proficiency as a War Troop Dispatcher was equally strong.

This time, the burly man shook his head. "The number of soldiers you can control all depends on your capability. There's no limitation."

Wu Tong heaved a sigh of relief. If the number of soldiers had been limited, he would have thought that this burly man had something against him. He did not believe that Mu Chen could beat him in terms of his proficiency level as War Troop Dispatcher.

"If so, I'll agree to what you say!" Wu Tong looked at Mu Chen coldly. "I'm just afraid that this lad has no guts!"

He hated Mu Chen to the core. He could have achieved this without spending this extra effort. However, Mu Chen's appearance caused the army to be less favorable towards him. Hence, he needed to spend the extra effort.

Mu Chen ignored his glare. He cupped his fist and bowed to the burly man and the many soldiers of the Mystery Dragon Army as a form of appreciation for giving him a chance to fight it out with Wu Tong. He then turned around and smiled at Wu Tong. "Since you dare to take up the challenge, why would I be afraid of it?"
