The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

"Ready the troops!"

Two deep roars were suddenly heard, and two overwhelming wills spread forth, quickly enveloping the Mystery Dragon Army below them. Under the cover of such a will, the many Mystery Dragon Warriors were pulled up. Then, numerous figures shot up to the sky.

When the burly man saw this, his pupils could not help but contract. His eyes twitched a little as he saw the two figures beside Mu Chen that looked exactly like Mu Chen!

Are those spiritual energy manifestations? Why are they as powerful as the original body? Even their proficiencies as War Troop Dispatchers are exactly the same! TAs these thoughts swirled in his mind, the burly man was clearly shaken.

Although he had experienced various strange things in his lifetime, he was still shaken by this scene before him. He could never have imagined that Mu Chen had such a surprising method up his sleeves. Even his original master back in the days could not have achieved this!

"Phew."

While the Mystery Dragon Commander was still taken aback, Mu Chen exhaled in relief. Thankfully, he had been on time, or else he would have suffered a great deal.

When he had entered this space previously, he could only dispatch his two manifestations to take care of the two guards. But, this now was obviously holding him back, as he could not simply recall the two manifestations before finishing off the guards himself.

So, he could only wait until the two manifestations had done their parts before summoning them back to him again. Luckily, they appeared at the right time, at the eleventh hour, just in time to help him stabilize the situation.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Numerous figures quickly emerged behind the black and white Mu Chens, totalling two thousand people in all. When added to Mu Chen's troops, they had a total of three thousand Mystery Dragon Warriors.

The fighting spirit of these three thousand Mystery Dragon warriors absolutely could not be handled by Mu Chen alone. Thankfully, there were two manifestations who were helping him. As the three of them shared the same mind, they could completely communicate seamlessly, which was not much different from having a single commander.

BOOM!

The black and white Mu Chens finished their summoning of the troops. Suddenly, an immense fighting spirit surged up. Its horrifying pressure covered the earth, causing the whole world to tremble.

Under the pressure of this fighting spirit, Wu Tong, who was usually ferocious looking, now had a light tint of shock in his eyes. Evidently, the three thousand Mystery Dragon warriors had left him in a stunned state.

He had swallowed the Fighting Spirit Pill to activate his potential, which would help him control the two thousand Mystery Dragon Warriors. After that, he could suppress Mu Chen. But, when Mu Chen summoned three thousand Mystery Dragon Warriors, this changed the situation entirely!

"Damnit! Damnit! How could he do this?" Wu Tong mumbled a little crazily.

His red eyes were tinged with fear. When faced with the three thousand Mystery Dragon Warriors, he seemed to have an impulse to turn around and flee!

But, after an inner struggle, Wu Tong suppressed that impulse. Though he did not know how Mu Chen could summon three thousand Mystery Dragon Warriors, he could not imagine him truly being able to control all three thousand of them.

"He must just be pretending. Surely, he must be on his last leg!" Wu Tong clenched his jaws, while his eyes regained their original ferocity.

In the sky, the battle spear that had been formed by the fighting spirit of the two thousand Mystery Dragon Warriors shot out in an explosion, and the several million battle runes on its surface emitted bright and blinding lights. In a moment, it was as if the fighting spirit pressure of the three thousand Mystery Dragon Warriors had been washed away entirely!

"Die!" Wu Tong's roar echoed throughout the sky and the earth.

Bzz!

At that moment, the battle spear soared through the air, heading right at Mu Chen! As Mu Chen raised his head to look at the battle spear, he nodded to the other two Mu Chens.

Then, each of the three of them formed a seal at almost the same time. The next moment, the Mystery Dragon Warriors let out a deep roar, and an immense fighting spirit formed a turbulent dark cloud above them, which spread out at an alarming speed.

Ka-boom!

The cloud of fighting spirit tumbled around violently, while an endless fighting spirit condensed within it. Faintly, a horrifying fluctuation was emitted.

Boom! Boom!

The enormous battle spear pierced through space, appearing above the fighting spirit cloud. It then it tore downward with a terrible energy, as if it was about to tear apart the entire fighting spirit cloud.

Mu Chen raised his head and stared at the fighting spirit battle spear that was expanding rapidly in his pupils. Immediately, a puff of white air flew out of his mouth.

Thunk!

The endless fighting spirit cloud shook violently for awhile. At the next moment, when the battle spear dropped down, there was a suddenly a gigantic dragon claw emerging from within the layers of clouds.

The dragon claw was dark in color and seemed extremely real. When it peeked out, a grand and majestic dragonic authority swepth forth.

Bang!

The dark dragon claw emerged from the clouds and swiftly caught the flying battle spear. A dark light burst forth from the claws, which instantly stopped the battle spear in its tracks!

"Wha..." When Wu Tong saw the battle spear being caught so easily, he immediately lost his voice.

While he was still in shock, an alarming roar of a dragon echoed through the clouds. The roar was filled with a vast fighting spirit.

"Eight Desolations of Dragon Battle!"

Bam!

The dark dragon claw clenched suddenly, crushing the huge battle spear in an explosion. It then turned the spear's remnants into light spots that scattered throughout the sky.

The heavy layers of clouds vibrated noisily. In the next moment, an enormous shadow emerged from the clouds. Swiftly after this, a series of cold inhalations echoed in the space, as all eyes were watching this apparition in the sky.

In the sky, an enormous dark dragon was sitting in the void. On its gigantic body were tightly spaced battle runes. It's overwhelming fighting spirit ravaged the world like a great storm.

Looking at this enormous dark dragon, the Mystery Dragon Commander and all of the warriors were shaking. Expressions of excitement were emerging in their eyes.

"That's the Mystery Dragon Fighting Spirit!"

"He really did condense the Mystery Dragon Fighting Spirit!"

Excited voices were heard, all coming from the Mystery Dragon Army. The many warriors looked at Mu Chen's that was floating figure above them in the sky, their eyes filled with excitement and zeal.

The burly man was also overcome with emotions, and his eyes conveyed his touched heart and complicated feelings. While Mu Chen's Mystery Dragon fighting spirit was much weaker than the prime of the Mystery Dragon Army's, the fact that he could muster it up meant that he had a higher compatibility with the Mystery Dragon fighting spirit! With time, and with Mu Chen's continuous growth, the Mystery Dragon Army may even be able to regain their former glory!

In the sky, even Mu Chen was looking at the enormous dark dragon with a surprised expression. He could feel that, when he had condensed the dragon fighting spirit, the fighting spirit of the three thousand Mystery Dragon Warriors behind him had surged to a terrifying degree.

The formation of a fighting spirit required a true combination of one's own intent with the fighting spirit of the army. This allowed the proper formation of the unique fighting spirit belonging to that army. Obviously, he had done this previously as well.

"Is this because of the spirit of the real dragon?" Mu Chen was very amazed by himself for completing this feat as well.

He had thought that he and the army would have to get used to each other for quite some time before being able to accomplish this. But now, he had achieved it in such a short period of time! The reason for this could only be the spirit of the real dragon within him!

These thoughts swirled in Mu Chen's mind, but he suppressed them for the moment, while he looked up and stared seriously at Wu Tong, who was still in shock. He did not want to waste time on talking.

With a thought from Mu Chen, the enormous dark dragon fighting spirit roared loudly. As it opened its jaw, a fighting spirit dragon breath shot out like a tsunami.

As the dragon breath approached Wu Tong, he felt the horrible fighting intent that was harbored within it, which truly left him shell-shocked. He wanted to summon his fighting spirit, but he suddenly felt the fighting spirit behind him become much thinner.

He turned back and saw that all of the Mystery Dragon warriors had their jaws dropped nearly to the floor. Their eyes were staring straight at the enormous dark dragon fighting spirit. Obviously, their morale was overwhelmed by such an imposing enemy!

Dam*it, you bunch of useless fellas! Seeing his own troops with such a defeated morale, Wu Tong cursed in his heart. But, he could not care so much at the moment, so he left swiftly, leaving the Mystery Dragon Warriors behind him, jaws still agape.

"Weakling!" His action caused many of the Mystery Dragon Warriors under him to curse him out loud.

After all, a War Troop Dispatcher that could desert his troops at such a time was truly infuriating to the soldiers. If this man was to become their king, they feared that he would abandon them completely in the face of an even stronger opponent in the future.

The burly man's face was sullen, and he looked towards Wu Tong with an expression full of disgust. Mu Chen saw this and quickly waved his sleeves. The dragon breath was suddenly drawn backward, just when it was about to engulf the Mystery Dragon Warriors.

After all, Mu Chen figured that these warriors could all be under him in the future. As such, if he needlessly destroyed them here, it would be very sad, not to mention wasteful! So, in order to protect them, as well as protecting his future additions to his own army, he was willing to temporarily give up on pursuing Wu Tong.

In the air, the two thousand Mystery Dragon Warriors who belong to Wu Tong, at least for now, saw Mu Chen withdrawing the fighting spirit dragon breath. They looked at each other and quickly bowed down before Mu Chen from a distance.

"Welcome, our king!" Their voices were deep and united, echoing forth across the sky suddenly and loudly. It was obvious that Mu Chen had won the hearts of these warriors completely.

In the square below, the Mystery Dragon Warriors looked at each other and nodded. The next moment, all of them in the square bowed down as well.

"Welcome, our king!" The three thousand Mystery Dragon Warriors kneeled down in unison behind Mu Chen.

In the square, the burly man stared at Mu Chen. A smile of relief suddenly appeared on his stern face. Then, he knelt on one knee and proclaimed with a deep voice, "Welcome, my king!"

A majestic voice echoed between the heavens and the earth, shaking the entire world, "Splurghhh."

In the distance, Wu Tong's face turned green when he saw this. He knew that he had completely lost to Mu Chen this time.
