"Indeed.. to think that the situation would be so drastic that it requires 6,000 students to participate in the subjugation.. even to the extent of taking in Late and Middle stage Foundation establishment realm students.. its practically sending them to their deathbed!" Dong Jinghai said in full lamentation as he downed his drink.

It was only when Wu Jin and Dong Jinghai mentioned this that Duan Li realized it as well.

This caused him to contemplate into the matter of retaliation from 'Time' even deeper.

"My party may be able to survive the stampede.. but the same could not be said with the others.. was this part of the consequences?"

In fact, what worries Duan Li the most right now, was the fact that this monster stampede might not just end on this single wave.

What if they keep on coming waves after waves?

With their casualties keep on increasing, then it wouldn't matter even if the Sun Dragon descended or not, a lot would've already died by then!

Hais!

Duan Li sighed.

This was something that he had no idea on how to solve with at the moment. But since he had thought of this, naturally, the upper echelons and management of the academy would surely have realized this as well.

Furthermore, since the Emperor knows about it as well now, and with that brilliant mind of Liu Sheng Juan, they would've most probably came up with a plan already.

Therefore, nodding his head to Dong Jinghai's words, he tried to give a more positive outlook into the whole situation.

"The academy might have already devised a method to reduce the casualty.. but I guess it was only inevitable that some would still be unfortunate in the upcoming stampede with such scale.." Duan Li said slowly.

"You're right.. no matter how hard we try, we just can't save everyone. Besides, we are cultivators, the day we decided to walk onto this path, is the day we should have been prepared for the worst." Wu Jin said, gaining clarity back into his eyes.

Dong Jighai nodded as well.

"Speaking of which, you should be grouped with your party right? Will you be fine with just the 10 of you?" he asked, feeling quite concerned.

No matter how strong Duan Li and his party was, they would be facing a huge number of monsters that quality alone wouldn't just cut it.

"I think we should be fine, we planned to be on the defensive side." Duan Li replied honestly.

"That will be for the best. I assume the other Lord class students would do the same as well." Wu Jin said.

Ohh?

I forgot that there are other Lord class students in the academy as well!

I wonder what kind of person they are..

After some more idle chat, Duan Li left the canteen and headed over to the academy's management office.

It's time for him to apply for his 1 Star Lord class rank!

...

Knock! Knock!

"Come in." a familiar voice inside the room said.

"I'm here to- Ah! Senior Teacher Hong Xin, pardon me, it's been a while.." Duan Li said as he respectfully bowed.

He was the Senior Teacher in charge of the First trial before, where the Millennium Yidara Tree resides to test on the aptitude of new students for the academy.

"Oh? It's you.." Hong Xin said in surprise as his countenance turned a bit pale.

He still remembered the ruckus Duan Li had made before that rattled the entire populace of the Empire by awakening the tree which now calls itself as Ancestor Zong. In the end, he had to submit written reports to numerous figures about the phenomena that had taken him a few nights of his sleep!

This fella is a trouble-maker.. I should directly ask what he wants and let him leave as soon as possible!

"Yes it has been a while haha.. what is it?" he said with an awkward laugh.

"Umm.. I am here to submit my application to apply for my 1 Star rank Lord class.." Duan Li replied as he handed out a paper form.

Hong Xin took the form and analyzed it swiftly. After doing a triple check that Duan Li had met all the criteria, he pressed his personal stamp onto the paper and handed it out back to the other party.

"Your request has been granted. Pass this application form to the receptionist and they will give you your token." he said as he quickly made himself appeared busy by flipping through report papers while clutching at his forehead with a stressful look.

Eh? That was fast!

"I-I see.. thank you very much.. pardon me for disturbing you.."

After quietly closing the door and leaving the former's office, he couldn't help but to wonder why Senior Teacher Hong Xin felt somehow a little bit distant to him..

Did he do something wrong?

Nah.. perhaps he was busy.. I should come over next time to cheer him up..

...

"Thank you for waiting and congratulations! From now on, you are officially a 1 Star rank Lord class!" said the receptionist as she handed out Duan Li's token.

She knew that there were only quite a handful number of students that had the guts to become a Lord class due to its steep requirements, but she never encountered one that had managed to officially become one in the shortest amount of time!

Even the previous fastest record was about 3 months before that person could officially earn the 1 Star rank Lord class token!

"Thank you.." Duan Li said as he returned a smile.

Suddenly, he felt a calling from one of his communication jade slip.

"Hello? Duan Li boy! Come over to the Principal's office now, we have something to give you and one bad news, quickly come over!" the message said.

It was from Senior Teacher Wang Guozhi.

A gift and a problem?

Duan Li shook his head as he chuckled.

Now that is what you call a balance!

...

Knock! Knock!

"I am here, what's up?" Duan Li said casually as he walked into the Principal's office.

Looking at the latter being so casual caused the Principal's brows to twitched.

I am the Principal of the academy here! Show me some face will you?!

Sighing deeply, he decided to ignore it.

After all, if he were to compare the status between them, Duan Li was no longer just a mere student of the academy, but the Imperial Overseer of the Empire as well right now.

"We have discussed with the Emperor regarding your safety in the upcoming monster stampede, and he showed his concerns as well." the Principal said.

"Thus, he granted you three Guardian Knight puppets. It's of the highest quality and could therefore house a High quality spirit stone as its power core." he added.

The Guardian Knights were the most powerful of all puppets but was extremely difficult to make as well, and they were forged by the greatest Blacksmith clan in the Empire, the Tong clan!

In addition, their prices were astronomically expensive such that only the Royal palace and the academy could afford to buy them!

Even the academy only has two of them guarding the main entrance, yet Duan Li received three of them!

This just shows of how the Emperor was placing an utmost value onto Duan Li.

Huala!

Three Guardian Knight puppets emerged from the Principal's spatial ring.

They were tall of about 2 meters in height, donning the full-plate Imperial class armor with a chrome finishing to it as well as a golden cloak each behind them, making them appear majestic and powerful!

However, in order to hide the fact that the Royal family was helping Duan Li, the Imperial emblem was left out from the cloak as well as some rudiment modifications were made onto the armor itself.

With a glance, perhaps only a tinge of resemblance to the Guardian Knights of the Royal palace could be seen from it, effective enough to dispel such thoughts from others.

"With these Guardian Knight puppets, you should be able to preserve your life if you encounter any sorts of dangerous situations, so use them well!" the Principal said with a tone of envy to it.

With bright eyes, Duan Li cast his Soul sense - Tetra Unsealing arts onto them in order to analyze their capabilities.

[High quality puppet - requires High quality spirit stones as the power core. Middle quality spirit stones could be used as well at only 20 percent of its full prowess.]

[Combat capabilities - Middle Stage Nascent Soul realm maximum, Early stage Golden core realm minimum]

[Has several flaws, could be improved further.]

The voice of the Mirealithians echoed in Duan Li's mind as he nodded in satisfaction.

Not bad! This should prove me useful in a pinch during the monster stampede later on!

Storing the three Guardian Knight puppets into his spatial ring, Duan Li then asks;

"Now.. about the problem, what is it?"

With a grim countenance, Wang Guozhi stepped forward.

"You may not know, but I am part of the scout division of the Empire other than a Senior Teacher of the academy." he said.

"While I was at the Royal palace, a new update from my team came in.. they brought the news that.."

"The Monster stampede wouldn't be coming over next week.. but in two days!"

"And their numbers increased to.. 50,000!"

...
