Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled!

In the Principal's office...

"Now that I've approved the request you made, they're probably on their separate way right now. To be honest, I didn't expect you to use the mission function like this." the Principal said to Duan Li who was currently feeding Daelius, the little fenrir with a complicated expression.

The mission request was for students of the Lord class to help micromanage their followers by giving them some simple tasks. However, each of Duan Li's mission to his followers were far from simple!

He didn't know what grand plan Duan Li was concocting, but for the latter to make such a big move like this, he conjectured that Duan Li was probably planning to do something huge that could affect the whole empire!

Formidable!

"Since when did he become this calculative?" the principal said inwardly as he gave a deep sigh, his emotion complex.

The Duan Li he knew was someone frivolous and acted a little impulsively at times, brazen even.

Did he finally mature? Did the seat of the Imperial Overseer forced him to change his ways?

The principal turned his head to look outside the window, his gaze seeming to become more distant as he recalled the time from his prime.

Back then, I was also the same... fearless and unfettered by everything! But after I became the principal of this academy, all that's left of me is the shell of my former self...

Hais!

The principal continued to perform monologues in his mind as Duan Li remained clueless to this evaluation of his.

In reality however, he could never be more wrong than this. How could Duan Li trouble himself with such headaches?

What grand plan? All he did was just asking his fellow members to do something for him! This principal was exaggerating things!

Duan Li's request was actually quite straightforward. The only reason why he had to make the request from the principal and made it his follower's mission was because after sharing his plans with Shen Lu, the latter told him that students of the academy were not allowed to leave the capital city, and could only do so under special circumstances; mission.

Similarly, the vice-principal was also looking at Duan Li with intrigued, thinking that Duan Li had become a little unfathomable ever since ascending the throne of the Imperial Overseer.

"In the meantime, what do you plan to do?" the principal asked.

Hearing this question, Duan Li scratched his head looking helpless, "I don't really have anything to do today.."

The vice-principal chuckled, "You should go to class today."

"Hmm.." Duan Li thought for a moment before replying, "Do you think that it will be fine? After all, everyone now knows who I am.."

"Well.." both the principal and vice-principal looked at each other with an awkward expression.

"We are not too sure ourselves on how the other students will react to you now.. but eh whatever, aren't you still a student of the academy? It would reflect badly on you if people starts to gossip that the Imperial Overseer likes to skip classes.." the principal answered.

The vice-principal nodded in agreement with the principal before adding, "Additionally, you should found the reaction of the students quite disproportionate towards you."

He then explained that while some students managed to witness the events of him fighting against Cao Tengfei personally back then during the coronation ceremony, due to the limited space of the square inside the Imperial grounds, where influential people were given the priority to stand there, majority of the students had only heard of his feats!

This means that there will be groups of students who thinks that the Imperial Overseer and Duan Li were two different people but with the same name!

Moreover, even if there were people who believed Duan Li to be the Imperial Overseer, the stories about his fights would be thought as an exaggeration.

After all, no immortal has appeared in the last thousands of years, so how could a student, not to mention only a Core Formation realm cultivator, was able to pummel an immortal that suddenly appeared?

Duan Li let out a huge sigh.

I only agreed to become the Imperial Overseer because the prospect of becoming one seems nice..

Who would have thought that it became quite troublesome now?

Hais!

After a while, Duan Li left the principal's office.

"Do you think he will create another ruckus again?" the principal turned to Zhang Xi, a bit worried.

With a sip of his tea, the vice-principal only shrugged his shoulder in reply.

...

When Duan Li walked along the hallway, he could hear some students whispering when they saw him.

"Hey, isn't that student Duan Li? Is it true that he is the Imperial Overseer?"

"What? You must be a fool. How could a student be an Imperial Overseer?"

"But my best friend said so! He was there witnessing the fights during the coronation ceremony!"

"Ha! You believe that?"

Duan Li kept walking with little fenrir by his side ignoring all these conversations. But then, people somehow started following him from behind and the crowd only seemed to become bigger as time passed on.

"What are these people doing? Why are they following me around?" Duan Li said to himself, a bit exasperated.

Do they have nothing better to do? I know that I am quite handsome, but I don't really like being followed like this!

Just as he was helpless on what he should do with the current situation, something happened.

"Duan Li you bastard, you better stop right there!" a voice suddenly bellowed out to him from a distance.

Eh?

Turning to the direction of this voice, he saw a familiar figure that he hadn't seen for a very long time.

Feng Li!

Duan Li creased his brows together.

"Oh its you. I see that your arm have recovered quite splendidly." Duan Li nodded feeling impressed.

This fellow was where everything began for Duan Li. If not for him, Duan Li wondered whether he would still be here right now or on a completely different path.

The last time he saw this fellow, it was with his brother something, and he made a quick work of them to show his gratitude.

"You..!!" Feng Li was incensed upon recalling the matter and wanted to lash out cursing Duan Li's nine ancestors.

Nevertheless, he managed to calm himself down with a few heavy breathing in and out.

With a sneer on his face, he continued, "At first, I thought that you are only arrogant. But now you have finally revealed your true evil self!" his voice getting louder as he attracted the attention of everyone.

"Evil self? What is he talking about?" the crowd whispered to each other in confusion.

Seeing that his words managed to get everyone's attention on him, Feng Li became excited.

"Everyone, please hear me out!" he said while pointing his index finger towards Duan Li.

"This bastard, his name is Duan Li! As all of you should know by now, the newly coronated Imperial Overseer of our empire, also goes by the name of Duan Li!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this, while some began to understand where this was going and their face turned serious.

"This guy, he dares to have the audacity to pay people to spread up rumors about him being the Imperial Overseer! This blatant imposter have dishonored our empire for his own benefits!"

Hisss!

The crowd gasped as they threw a suspicious look to Duan Li.

"Hey! Is what this guy said just now true?"

"I don't know, but it seems logical.."

"Hah! I knew it! How could a mere brat be the Imperial Overseer? If that is the case, won't I also be eligible to become one?"

Seeing that he managed to get the crowd to suspect Duan Li, Feng Li's eyes flashed with a fierce look.

I'm going to destroy you today!

He then let out a dry cough and some people that was in the crowd noticed this signal and began to flame their doubts.

"How impudent! To dare claim himself as the Imperial Overseer.. he deserves death!"

"Kill him!"

Meanwhile, Duan Li only frowned for a bit as he cupped his chin.

Interesting.
