Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

“This is...” Even Jiang Dongliu’s beard bent up as he said, “Where did this Li Yang learn his technique from?”

Now, they weren’t concerned about Li Yang’s status as a lackey anymore. In their eyes, Li Yang’s strength was at least on the level of a Purple-level Honorary Aristocrat. And even this was because Li Yang hadn’t shown his full strength yet. If not, he might even be as strong as the Black-levels. Therefore, everyone’s attention was focused on his martial arts technique.

“A very strong technique.” Even Li Xuancheng gave very high praise. “If I didn’t guess wrongly, this lackey should be the Hong Dali’s most powerful man. No wonder Hong Dali is so composed and dared to let him fight in his place.”

“Yup, indeed.” At this moment, even Jiang Dongliu agreed with Li Xuancheng’s view. “This Hong Dali really gave me a very big surprise today, hahaha.”

As for Li Tianxing who was beside them, he was so jealous that he almost went crazy.

What right did Hong Dali had to have such a powerful person working for him!? It would still be alright if Hong Dali defeated him just on the business side alone. Because doing business wasn’t Li Tianxing’s forte, so Li Tianxing naturally wouldn’t use his weakness to compare to Hong Dali’s strength.

But now, even a random lackey working for Hong Dali could easily defeat a Blue and Purple level Double Aristocrat!?

Was there any logic in this? Was there any law? He was the true second-generation rich of the Galaxy Aristocrats, wasn’t he? His father was a member of the Elder’s Conference, his grandfather was the head of the Five Kings, but why did he lose to Hong Dali in everything?

“Hong Dali, you are cheating!” Li Tianxing shouted towards Hong Dali, “You sent your strongest man here, but who knows where this person came from! This isn’t fair! I request you to change him! Change him!”

Li Tianxing actually wanted Hong Dali to change the fighter!

At such a moment, many of the Honorary Aristocrats sitting there wasn’t able to keep calm too. After all, as long as it was within the rules, as long as Hong Dali could send someone to fight for him, it would be counted his victory if the person won. But such a powerful person as this lackey wasn’t someone that could appear so easily, right? This kind of person was one in a few hundred million, wasn’t it? This lackey was at least as powerful as a Purple-level Honorary Aristocrat!

No matter how miraculous Hong Dali was, it shouldn’t be possible for him to send out such a powerful person so easily, right?

But since Li Tianxing had already requested this, the other Honorary Aristocrats were all curious about how Hong Dali would answer.

“Hehe, your name is Li Yang, right?” Li Xuancheng looked at Li Yang, smiled, and asked, “Yup, you are indeed very strong. I believe that everyone can see this. In that case, because of your strength, I shall call the shots myself and directly promote you to a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat. How about it? I believe that with my identity, the other Elders won’t reject me on this.”

Black-level Honorary Aristocrat!

Li Xuancheng actually wanted to directly promote Li Yang to a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat! This was totally like winning the jackpot for him, wasn’t it?

That was the Black-level Honorary Aristocrat, after all. Not the normal Red-level! If it was the Red-level Honorary Aristocrat, Li Xuancheng could promote people to this rank as much as he wanted to. But for the Black-level...

Of course, no one would care about the additional stats Li Yang gained from his equipment and stuff. It was the same logic as a wealthy person. The person was called wealthy because he had lots of money, no one could expect the wealthy person to throw away his money, right? Therefore, it was the same for warriors. No matter whether they were powerful themselves or it was their equipment that was powerful, both were considered the base strength of a warrior. No one would have the mindset that he would be weak without his equipment.

That was part of his base strength too, definitely no one could deny this.

Actually, being able to be directly promoted to a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat was definitely a good thing. However, Jiang Dongliu understood the hidden meaning behind Li Xuancheng’s words, so he frowned and said, “Old Li, you mustn’t be so overboard. Even if you want to promote him to a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat, you shouldn’t have said it in this situation. How do you expect Hong Dali to think about this? You are clearly snatching his man from him, isn’t it?”

His voice was neither loud nor small, just enough for everyone to hear it.

Hearing Jiang Dongliu’s words, everyone instantly came around.

This move was indeed very vicious. If this lackey really became a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat, would he still be willing to be Hong Dali’s lackey? By that time, once Li Xuancheng gave this lackey some benefits and pulled him to his side...

But obviously, Li Xuancheng was destined to be disappointed.

“Hehe, a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat?” Li Yang didn’t reply directly, but instead asked, “Can I ask, if I become a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat, can I still be a lackey for Young Master?”

Hearing Li Yang’s words, everyone instantly collapsed.

What the heck! That’s the Black-level Honorary Aristocrat! How many of them were there in the entire Shenluo City? With such a status, he still wanted to be someone else’s lackey? Did he became addicted to being a lackey or something!?

“This...” Li Xuancheng was dazed too. He didn’t expect that this person would still plan to be a lackey for Hong Dali. So, he pondered for a while and then decisively shook his head. “I am afraid not.”

“Oh, forget it then.” Li Yang very directly turned away his body and said, “Then I shall continue to be a lackey—shall we continue now?”

Everyone collapsed.

“God, that’s the Black-level Honorary Aristocrat! Such an identity loses to being a lackey for Hong Dali?”

“My sense of logic! I must still be dreaming. These years even a Black-level isn’t worth as much as being a lackey!? A Black-level! How many benefits will there be in being one?”

“What kind of magic does this Hong Dali have to have someone giving up the chance to be a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat just to be his lackey!?”

Hearing their discussion, Li Xuancheng felt a bit embarrassed too.

After all, a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat represented the strongest group of people other than the Galaxy Aristocrats. They had power, wealth, status, practically anything that a person could want!

If this was in the ancient times where the Galaxy Aristocrats were akin to being the royal family, the Honorary Aristocrats would be akin to being the different levels of officials! As for the Black-levels, they would be akin to the highest-ranking officials!

Such an identity actually lost to being a lackey for Hong Dali!?

However, Li Xuancheng was an old fox, after all. He turned his eyes and quickly came up with another plan. He smiled and said, “Yup, if I say that you can continue to be Hong Dali’s lackey after you become a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat, will you be willing then?”

“Ah? I can?” Li Yang thought for a while then said, “That should be alright, then...”

“Hehe, good! Since that’s the case, it’s decided then!” Li Xuancheng directly decided and asked, “Your name is Li Yang, right? Young man, since you are a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat now, is there anything you wish to say? You should at least make a self-introduction, right?”

Such a thing as doing a self-introduction was a piece of cake. Li Yang lifted his chest and loudly said, “Hello, everyone. My name is Li Yang, my interest is to be a lackey, my specialty is to be a lackey, my profession is also being a lackey!”

Everyone stared in bewilderment.

Such a self-introduction was actually possible too!?

Of course, because of Li Yang’s previous performance, no one was able to laugh. This Li Yang wasn’t a normal person, he was actually so enthusiastic about being a lackey. What kind of weird people did Hong Dali had under him!?

However, that wasn’t important anymore. After all, in this situation, strength was the most important. If they weren’t convinced, they would be beaten up till they were convinced.

Tang Muxin smiled and said, “Dali, this Li Yang is still the same as usual, hehe.”

“Hehe, this fellow is a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat too now. Not bad, hehe.” Hong Dali touched his chin and said, “Speaking of which, if all of you are Black-level Honorary Aristocrats, won’t it be extremely attention-grabbing if we go out together?”

“Of course.” Li Nianwei smiled and nodded. “It will definitely be extremely attention-grabbing.”

Then, such an image appeared in their minds—Hong Dali wearing a golden-colored cape on the street, behind him was a group of Black-level Honorary Aristocrats. Upon seeing him, they would bow and greet in unison, “Greetings, Young Master.”

What kind of amazing scene would that be! That would be extremely attention-grabbing, wouldn’t it?

Just as they were thinking about this, Li Xuancheng laughed and said, “Li Yang, yup, since you like to be a lackey, I shan’t force you not to be one. However, I have a small request too. Which is: since you are a Black-level Honorary Aristocrat now, you can’t participate for the rest of the matches. You will need someone to replace you. If not, others will think that you are bullying those lower level than you.”

Yup, it wouldn’t be reasonable for a Black-level to bully the Blue and Purple levels.

Everyone sucked in a deep breath. In the end, Li Yang was still removed from the competition by Li Xuancheng. Then, they would have an interesting show to watch now. Would this amazing Hong Dali be able to send another powerful person to fight for him? Or was it that he would finally fight himself?

“Ah, I can’t compete anymore?” Li Yang looked around, then carefully asked, “Are you sure you want to change the person?” His expression looked a little perturbed, no one knew what he was worried about.

“Yup, of course.” Li Xuancheng smiled like an old fox and said, “You can’t compete anymore.” Hehe, are you scared now? Do you think that you will get to become a Black and White level for nothing? Since you accepted my benefits, you naturally have to work for me. Now that you, the strongest of them, is not able to fight anymore, even if someone replaces you, how strong can that person be? As for me, I still have the strongest Black and White level waiting!

Li Yang asked again, “Then, if the person who replaces me wins too, will the person be promoted to the Black level too?”

“Well...” This time, Li Xuancheng hesitated. If the person won and was promoted to the Black level too, wouldn’t that be... However, as the saying goes, no loss no gain. Without giving out the Black-level positions, he wouldn’t be able to obtain Hong Dali, so Li Xuancheng violently clenched his teeth and said, “Yes!”

“Okay.” Li Yang was instantly delighted. He turned around and shouted, “Young Master, there’s a large number of Black-level positions here. But the numbers are limited. If you want, come quickly. If you are too late, I fear that there won’t be any slots left!”

Hong Dali: “Okay, understood!”

Then, Li Yang chicly tossed his hair and looked at the other Honorary Aristocrats down his nose. “Not everyone is qualified to be a lackey for my Young Master.” Mission completed, I shall go out of the arena now. See you guys later, brouhaha.

Then, he turned around and walked out of the arena, his cape flashing golden light behind him.

Grand League.Lackey!
