Chapter 1737 The Difference

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Zhang Mengyao had known for a long time ago that her husband did not want to take over the world even though he had the power to do so. However, she did not know why he did not want to. She never asked him, and he never told her.

Tang Shaoyang’s condition for the Duchy of Michalina reminded her about that. It was a weird condition to be in, not allowed to expand the territory. She agreed with him, but again, she did not think that they had the same reason.

“Why do you put such a condition? If you feel like it is a hassle to manage the world, we can use a faction like the Duchy of Michalina to govern the world.”

She thought Tang Shaoyang did not like administrative work, but he could let other people do the job for him. Taking over the world through the Duchy of Michalina would eliminate future troubles such as the Faith and Order.

“Then what? With how often I am leaving my post, it would be just a matter of time before they stab me in the back and take over not just the world, but The Tang Empire. And the reason…”

He did not finish his word as he gestured everyone toward the training ground. After three minutes of fierce exchange, Moonsong was down. The Chief Moon was on the ground, no longer in his transformation.

“Who’s going next?”

Zaneos was the first one to step out of the barrier set up by Tang Shaoyang. The Demon Swordsman pointed his sword at Orlean, the fellow demon. Both knew each other during their time as a spirit.

“Show me how strong you are now, Orlean!”

Orlean smiled, “I don’t think you can beat me anymore when the person who beat you can’t last that long against Maldros.”

The two demons stepped into the middle of the training ground. At this time, the training ground was silent. The students did not even converse with their friends, having their eyes locked on the two demons.

Even though Tang Shaoyang distracted her, Zhang Mengyao did not forget. She still wanted to know the main reason why Tang Shaoyang did not want to take over the world. In fact, she had gotten more curious.

“What’s the reason?”

“The reason it’s quite simple. I want to make a force to protect the people dearly to me. That’s the reason why I established The Tang Empire. It’s out of my expectation that the Tang Empire has become this big. Conquering the world is never my ambition, and it doesn’t cross my mind even if I have the power now. Especially after I find the bigger world outside Earth.”

The reason behind the Tang Empire’s creation was simple. He did not want to repeat the same tragedy that happened to him. He kept reminding himself about his goal, but he just realized that not many knew about it.

Zhang Mengyao did not pressure it further because she already knew about it, about her husband’s past. She just did not expect that was the main reason behind the Tang Empire’s creation.

The sparring match did not stop with just the high-rank officer from Tarrior. The Elven Kingdom sent their strongest people, Moonsong called his people, the Lycanthrope from The Lycasian Tribe also joined, Alton also brought the Beast Coven, and more kept coming to fight the spirit.

It even became three against a hundred. The frustration got into them, and they ganged up on the three spirits. However, the result was the same. Even with hundreds of Demi-God Ranks, they failed miserably, not even a scratch on their opponent.

It started when the sun was high above their heads, and it was now night. It seemed like they believed that they could take down at least one spirit with their numbers. But their effort was proven futile as the spirit blasted them with no mercy, crushing their pride.

The Tang Empire was known as the strongest force. That was the reason why no one dared to touch them. They took pride in that, but that pride was crushed. Especially when Jovrick mentioned that there were people who were stronger than them.

Jovrick was talking about the Chief Administrator and Executive Administrator. Maybe much stronger than them in the Dragon Realm as well as The Ancient Kingdom.

“Let us close today’s sparring match!”

In the last moment, Forlan, Hemlin, and Lunea came up to challenge the three spirits. They were the only God Rank in the Tang Empire aside from Tang Shaoyang. Of course, there was also Ophelius and Ophelia, but they were kind of a wild card because only Tang Shaoyang could control them.

“No, you can try again tomorrow.”

Tang Shaoyang immediately refused the notion because it would take them much longer against the God Rank. Especially since they wanted to have fun, so they would not defeat the God Rank quickly.

“Let us fight them, Your Majesty. We will make it quick!”

Jovrick thought of a different idea. He wanted to show the Demi-God Rank that there were more ranks in the God Rank. Not all God Ranks were equal, that was what Jovrick wanted to show.

“You have five minutes. If you can’t defeat them in five minutes, then we will continue the sparring tomorrow.”

The three God Ranks against the spirits that had killed God Rank. It was a match that many people anticipated, including the ones in the Demi-God Ranks. They were all curious about how strong the spirits were. They thought the God Rank might be able to force the spirits to get more serious.

Hemlin and Forlan felt no matter how strong the spirits were, they were still weaker than Tang Shaoyang. There was a chance for them to win. That was what they thought before the fight.

“Who will win, brother?”

Lu An wanted to know his brother’s opinion. Forlan and Hemlin were not that close yet, so no one had asked the two for a spar before. No one knew how strong Forlan and Hemlin were.

“You will find out soon.”

Tang Shaoyang responded with a smile.
