I became the Demon Emperor in Journey to the West

Chapter 13 Cultivating Heels
  "quiet!"

Seeing all the little demons making a fuss and discussing, Zhang Yuan shouted loudly.

Although the monsters are naughty and loose, years of training have given them a sense of what to do and what to do.

Following Zhang Yuan's order, the demons gradually became quiet.

"The rules of this selection are that I nominate eighteen little diamonds. If anyone thinks he can replace one of them, he can challenge him! The winner of the challenge will become a little diamond, and the loser will become an ordinary demon soldier!"

"Each monster can challenge once a month, but in order not to delay military affairs, each little diamond can only accept a challenge once a month! Those who fail the challenge will not be allowed to challenge again within three months!"

"However, because our demon soldiers are mainly responsible for patrolling the mountains, collecting information and conveying orders, challengers need to register with me first, and they can only challenge after I pass the review! In other words, no demon can Challenge Xiao Zhuanfeng privately."

"Unless there are special circumstances, today will be the time to party and challenge every month from now on!"

After Zhang Yuanjiang issued the order, the entire forest was silent.

Hundreds of monsters looked at each other in shock, and some monsters' breathing increased subconsciously, and their eyes looking at Zhang Yuan were full of longing.

These one hundred monsters are responsible for patrolling the mountain. Among the monsters who are capable of breaking all laws and preying on the weak, they are often not taken seriously, and it is difficult to get promoted. They have insufficient qualifications and slow progress in cultivation.

Over the years, the eighteen little monsters have basically remained unchanged. Although the cultivation abilities of many little monsters exceed those of some of them, they suffer from the management methods of Shituoling and can only serve as big soldiers.

After all, the military administration of Shituoling was decided by several kings. How dare these little monsters have any objections.

Now that they have the opportunity to be promoted, these little monsters are naturally very excited.

Zhang Yuan took the situation below into his eyes, with a satisfied smile on his lips, and then said: "Defeat the challenger three times in a row, and receive the reward! Defeat the challenger six times in a row, and receive the reward! Defeat the challenger twelve times in a row, and receive the reward. Reward!"

As soon as Zhang Yuan said these words, the expressions of the seventeen little Zhuanfeng who were slightly dissatisfied suddenly changed drastically, and they looked at the demon soldiers under them with intriguing eyes.

As soon as Zhang Yuan issued several orders, these monsters No. 100 would one day become his soldiers!

This is the person who uses the resources of Shituoling to support himself!
  China has thousands of years of wisdom, don’t play with these little monsters too easily!

Reviewing challengers' abilities and qualifications is a disguised form of mastering the promotion of these monsters. From now on, their promotion can only rely on themselves.

As long as Zhang Yuan is sure that their abilities meet the responsibilities of Xiao Zuanfeng, then they are qualified to challenge and have a certain probability of becoming Xiao Zuanfeng.

And if they are denied by Zhang Yuan, they will only think that they are incompetent and will not resent Zhang Yuan. These monsters who have been successfully brainwashed by Zhang Yuan will either be able to work as top soldiers with peace of mind from now on, or immerse themselves in hard training.

In previous lives, this was called pua!

If those monsters who have become Xiao Zuanfeng want to maintain their status or get rewards, they can only unite closely around Zhang Yuan.

After all, the demon soldiers who challenged them were controlled by Zhang Yuan.

If Zhang Yuan doesn't agree to the challenge, no matter how capable he is, he won't be able to do it.

This set of rules was carefully designed by Zhang Yuan after he became the chief drill officer and combined his knowledge from his previous life with the actual situation.

Not only can you eliminate dissidents and replace the eighteen little diamonds with your own confidants, making them inseparable from you, but you can also use the resources on Shituo Ridge to train your own confidants.

In this world, you can't do it alone. Even if the cultivation of these monsters cannot help him, it will still be useful to visit the cave and raise spiritual grass in the future.

"Now, I announce the list of eighteen little diamonds!"

Zhang Yuanlue paused and immediately read out the list. The monsters who were named quickly stepped forward to block the monsters behind them.

This time in the list, Zhang Yuan did not touch the previous seventeen, but only selected the strongest one among the remaining monsters to fill the gap.

Although some of the seventeen little drill winds were really weak, for Zhang Yuan, isn't this the best tool?

It’s better to be weak! In this way, other monsters can defeat them and become the new Xiaodianfeng.

In this way, the overall strength of the eighteen little diamonds is enhanced, and the rules he just announced are supported, making the monsters more convinced!
  After giving many monsters a time to react, Zhang Yuan stood under the Qingmu flag and said loudly: "Eighteen little diamonds have been selected. Are there any monsters who want to challenge them now?"

As soon as these words came out, the originally excited and noisy monsters suddenly fell silent.

For a long time, they have been the demon soldiers under Xiao Zuanfeng, bound by the military laws of Shituoling. Even if their cultivation is stronger than that of the leader, they can only swallow their anger and be driven by it.

Although Zhang Yuan is carrying out reforms now, their long-term concepts made them hesitate for a while.

"Is there any monster you want to challenge?"

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan asked three times in a row.

Several monsters with stronger cultivation levels, after hesitating for a while, gritted their teeth and took a few steps forward.

"Always try to be cool, I want a challenge!"

These four monsters are the eagle monster, the leopard spirit, the rat monster, and the dog monster. Their cultivation is considered to be powerful among many monsters, and they are all good at reconnaissance, delivering messages, etc.

Yes, four monsters stepped forward the first time.

Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "I have heard that you are indeed qualified. Go ahead! Pick the opponent you want to challenge!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yuan's words, their faces showed the joy of being rewarded by the leader, and soon they went to choose their opponents with solemn expressions.

As expected by Zhang Yuan, the four monsters chose the weakest ones among the eighteen little diamonds.

Both of them are at the first level of cultivation, but their strength is different due to factors such as blood, race, years of cultivation, etc.

Under the auspices of Zhang Yuan, several monsters began to challenge.

Battles between monsters, especially this kind of competition, ended quickly. Not much time was wasted, and the result was decided in four competitions.

Of these four monsters, three of them succeeded in their challenge, and only the dog demon failed. However, Xiao Zhuanfeng, who was challenged by the dog demon, also suffered a big loss and paid the price of half an arm to keep his position.

When Zhang Yuan handed three small diamond tokens to the three monsters who succeeded in the challenge, the atmosphere at the scene was completely detonated. Countless monsters cheered and secretly decided to practice hard from today on!
  The fighting spirit of the monsters has been aroused, and boosting morale is what people's hearts can use.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Yuan took out the token given by the green-haired lion monster and held it up high: "I have been ordered by the king to go out now. Who is willing to go with me? The goal of this trip is eight hundred miles away. Outside, Yuzhenzhou!"
