My beast Emperor System

Roar!

Lucien's vicious roar caught the attention of everyone and they watched as the ghastly figure kept shooting towards them at an incredible speed. Within his black hollow eyes was a little, yet bright blue light flashing fiercely.

BOOM!

The space around Lucien exploded as his body sped up, even more, creating powerful shockwaves and ripples that can be seen visibly with the naked eyes!

"Isn't this kid meant to be at the warrior realm?" Someone in the army said with a fearful look on his face.

"They said he killed a new spirit realm master who is yet to master a martial technique, yet why does he give off enough pressure that makes me think our masters are weaker?"

Many began complaining, drastically affecting the morale of the army, meanwhile, the three spirit realm masters just stood there and watched the ghastly figure hidden within the gray mist shooting forward. He didn't exude an evil aura to show that he has fallen into the cultivation of evil techniques but instead, he had this mysterious air around him that made even powerful spirit realm masters with a martial technique unwilling to face him alone!

Bang!

Lucien finally stopped advancing! No matter how powerful he is, taking on a hundred-man army of warrior and mortal realm experts, with a touch of three mid-tier spirit realm experts is something he is not capable of, even now. With the city defenses, he is confident he can hold these three down as long as their strength is average! Either way, the main reason for coming out like this alone, is simply because he intends to test his strength against the enemy.

"Why do you attack my land? You have five seconds to give me a sufficient reason or you may not live long enough to see tomorrow!" Lucien declared boldly.

He originally refused the help of the empire because he knew its useless. The fact remains that, as long as the academy got the news of the events and sent healing mages, nothing stops them from sending fighters too to help defend this territory but they didn't. By now the empire knows of the enemy's presence yet they do nothing, not because they are afraid but because they wish to observe.

Since the creation of this great empire, Lucien can be considered its greatest secret! They wished to take this opportunity to see how powerful Lucien's city defenses are and how strong Lucien is as well. He once claimed he had the ability to escape the emperor and the entire empire as a whole the nobles and emperor Fei decided this is the best opportunity to see everything!

If Lucien's life is in danger, they will definitely step in and save the day.

"You cocky brat! Get out here and fight us if you dare say such arrogant words!" A gray-haired elder screamed angrily.

Judging based on his physical appearance, Lucien knew he was somehow related to the old man who tried to peer into the darkness of his soul and saw Rakuzen, costing him his eyes!

The current Lucien had no intentions of retreating! Neither did he have the intention of crossing his borders and facing these people without his city defenses, so he treated the man's words as air and ignored him! His spirit sense kept warning him of the young brown-haired youth in a purple robe.

According to his instincts, this man should be the most dangerous here! This explains why the other two elderly spirit realm masters kept looking at this youth respectfully.

"The Libet empire does have some young heroes… It is impressive that someone your age can reach a profound realm and the age gap between should be barely more than four years" Lucien said while his gaze was still pinned on the youth.

Hearing his comments, everyone present was stunned! While it is true that the brown-haired youth is the most powerful amongst them, it is hard to notice his strength due to the nature of his martial technique. To think Lucien could see through him almost instantly and accurately guess his age, everyone could help but reevaluate Lucien's strength again in their hearts.

"You have good eyes! hahaha hahaha! It's a pity such marvelous talent is wasted on a mere beast-man who is no different from a savage! But I, Zhao Li respect the strong! You don't have to worry! Even after your death, your body will not be mutilated and you will be given a hero's burial! I can assure you of that!" The brown-haired man said proudly and many behind him cheered.

"Young master is too kind!"

"You should be kotowing and thanking our young master for acknowledging you, Ungrateful savage!" 

Many people screamed at the top of their voices and even the older spirit realm masters kept trying to suck up to the youth, making Lucien frown. It seems this person is from a very influential family in the Libet empire, that's why he can mobilize such a powerful small army in just a few hours. Lucien didn't know the person's current status in the empire and the consequences of killing him so he was a bit reluctant.

DING!

[New mission acquired]

[The enemy has gathered to destroy you and your people, as a future emperor, you must prove to the people you are capable of protecting them! Win this war without outside help and kill Zhao Li!]

[Rewards; Unknown]

Seeing this, Lucien was stunned. He barely gets missions from the system but when he does, he gets priceless rewards that have helped him till today!

"Sorry, a second ago I was considering sparing your life but it doesn't matter now, I will have your head and use your skull as a cup in my palace!" Lucien growled as his aura exploded!

Ding!

[Beast assimilated activated! Does the host wish to send out the beasts?]

Seeing this Lucien was stunned and almost didn't know how to react. He guessed this new ability is as a result of his new duo martial technique so out of curiosity he clicked the 'yes' button in front of him!

Boom!

The gray mist surged out violently and as soon as they left his body, they began taking the forms and shapes of the magic beasts Lucien has assimilated! Only then did Lucien realize that the tattoos on his body were gone and he had six huge ghastly magic beasts standing behind him.

"What the hell is this?" Zhao Li asked as he took a step back. 

The greatest fear of a true expert is the unknown. As long as one lacked information about an enemy, they will be unwilling to take him on due to unforeseen circumstances and that's why he was a bit reluctant to charge forward as soon as he saw the six ghastly figures surrounding Lucien!

"Do not fear, young master! The enemy does not look solid, therefore they will most likely lack their abilities… This may be illusions! Order the charge… let the men charge in first, we will support from the shadow and have them tire Lucien out!" The gray-haired elder said respectfully.

After hearing this, the brown-haired man calmed down a bit. Even though he was against the man's speculations about Lucien's abilities, he still couldn't help but admit the only option now is to attack! They cannot afford to return to the empire empty-handed after sneaking out! By the way, he is using the weaker people as shields. That should give him enough time to understand Lucien's strength and prepare a plan to take him down!

Whoosh!

The brown-haired man began levitating higher, catching the attention of his men. He slowly advanced and the moment he entered the borders of Lucien's domain, one of the magic towers let out a bright light before releasing a blue mana beam straight towards the man but before the attack could even get a hundred meters close to him, it struck an invisible barrier and was unable to breakthrough!

Xiu!

Two towers lit up and shot two beams of pure energy but just like before they all struck an invisible wall, unable to breakthrough! Even Lucien couldn't help but frown because of this. By now he was seriously wondering what martial technique this youth may be mastering!

"As long as I am here, you have to nothing to fear! Charged forward and destroy this land! Only victory is acceptable! Whoever brings me Lucien Rakuzen's head will be paid five thousand gold coins and also be given the opportunity to peak a magic weapon from my Zhao clan armory!" Zhao Li roared!

Seeing their leader block the attacks of the terrifying magic towers effortlessly, then assuring them of his protection while giving them a mouth watering reward for killing Lucien, even the other two spirit realm masters were hyped! Their morale reached its peak and under Zhao Li's command, the hundred-man army charged into Rakzuen clan borders with murderous intentions!

Seeing this, many spies observing from afar couldn't help but gasp as they watched the small hundred-man team charge towards Lucien with killing intentions! Everyone wished to know how Lucien planned to respond to this!
