We posted this yesterday, but we decided to add this here in the chapter so all the readers can see it.
You may have also notice that we added a few more ads to help us out as we have increased our regular release from 3 to 5 chaps/week, and are working hard towards providing 7/week.
If you ever feel that there are a bit too much of them, don’t hesitate to let us know! We really hope to find that sweet spot where we can generate enough money to sponsor more chaps, but we also don’t want to be too much in the way of your reading experience.
Enjoy the main story!

Eh?
Fei sensed something as a smile appeared on his face; he suddenly flicked his index finger.
Pia!
After a light sound, a tiny cloud of dust appeared in the air.
This small noise was nothing compared to the cheers from the surroundings, and no one in the crowd saw what happened.
However, the warriors of Spartax who were standing in front of their building were shocked. The leading young man was in so much pain that sweats appeared on his forehead. There was now a hole in his shoulder that was about the width of a thumb, and blood was flowing out of it like a fountain. Behind him, there was also a hole in the stone wall that was the same size as the hole in that young man’s shoulder.
Eh…… Brother. How are you feeling?
All the warriors around the leading young man asked quickly.
Out of everyone there, only they knew what happened.
This warrior named Barton wanted to tease this so-called No.1 Master Warrior among all affiliated kingdoms, and he wanted the citizens of Zenit to know that the man they were cheering for was a weak-ass.
Therefore, Barton quickly shot out a little piece of rock at Fei, and that was his way of throwing dirt on Zenit.
However, they didn’t know that this No.1 Master Warrior among all affiliated kingdoms was far beyond their level. Fei didn’t just notice this sneak attack; he also used an unimaginable technique to send the rock back.
The rock that was sent back was even more powerful the magic arrows that were shot out of Siege Crossbows. Barton who was the strongest among these warriors got his shoulder pierced by this rock, and the residual force in the rock also pierced through the wall behind him.
Terrifying strength!
Barton was a top-tier Six-Star Warrior, but he couldn’t do anything against this rock. It was fortunate that Fei didn’t want to kill anyone. Otherwise, these warriors of Spartax would have all become cold corpses by now.
Quick! Quick! Let’s head back!
The warriors of Spartax quickly helped their Brother Barton to get back into the building.
They weren’t afraid of death. They were the most talented young men in the Spartax Empire, and they were all disciples of Martial Saint Lkunta. They believed in the real power and were willing to die for their empire on the battlefield. But in front of such a powerful warrior, they would be killed like ants; there wasn’t anything in return if they challenged that man.
This man is too terrifying!
Barton looked at the magic carriage before he walked into the building, and he saw that man in the Golden Armor smiling at him in a joking manner. At that moment, he no longer sensed the pain; instead, he was so terrified that his clothes were wet by his cold sweats.
……
To Fei, what happened was like child’s play.
A sneak attack from a Six-Star Warrior was nothing to him, and he returned the attack without even using his Nine-Star strength.
If he wasn’t afraid of offending Martial Saint Lkunta and making a bigger mess for Zenit who was already experiencing massive undercurrents despite the calm surface, he would have instantly killed those warriors of Spartax who were ill-intended.
However, it was heard that the Martial Saint of Spartax was over-protective, and Fei didn’t want to get involved in the battle between the two Martial Saints. After all, Fei knew his place and understood that he wasn’t on the level where he could take on a Martial Saint with ease.
After about half an hour, the magic carriage returned to the No.1 Sword-Testing Stage.
There were more people in the crowd now compared to the beginning of the day; they were all here waiting for the reward ceremony.
The ceremony finally began.
It was long and complicated. Although the priests from the Holy Church didn’t show up and participate, all the processes and procedures where everyone first worshipped the gods happened under the watch of the Second Prince Dominguez and the royal mages. All kings of the 244 affiliated kingdoms were invited to participate.
That process took an hour.
Afterward, it was finally the event that everyone was waiting for – reward distribution! Due to the outbreak of the war, the rewards this year were better than previous years.
This process was also long.
Chambord was the biggest black horse and the real winner without question.
The king of Chambord dominated over all other masters and became the champion of the individual competition, and Chambord soldiers also easily won against the soldiers of other affiliated kingdoms in the team competition. According to the reward schedule that was set up beforehand, Chambord was now a level 1 affiliated kingdom! A big jump from level 6! The king of Chambord also became a level 2 noble of Zenit! A big jump for an unranked little noble!
: Biggest Winner (Part Two)
After Chambord became a level 1 affiliated kingdom, its territories and population size skyrocketed as well.
The six affiliated kingdoms around Chambord such as the Blackstone Kingdom and the Chishui Kingdom got their noble statuses stripped away due to their poor performances, and their territories and citizens all became Chambord’s. On top of that, Zenit also rewarded Chambord with a lot of training scrolls, magic scrolls, treasures, and weapons.
You could say that the Blackstone Kingdom and the Chishui Kingdom got what they deserved. If they didn’t try to cut Chambord off and their powerful warriors didn’t get killed instead, their performances in the competition won’t be that bad.
Other than that, one level 1 affiliated kingdom got demoted to a level 2 affiliated kingdom, four level 2 affiliated kingdoms got demoted to level 3 affiliated kingdoms, seven level 3 affiliated kingdoms got demoted to level 4 affiliated kingdoms, 11 level 4 affiliated kingdoms got demoted to level 5 affiliated kingdoms, and 25 level 6 affiliated kingdoms got their titles stripped away from them and became regular family forces.
Of course, there were promotions as well.
The empty spots for higher-level kingdoms were filled with kingdoms that performed unexpectedly well in the competition. Chambord was the key example, and other kingdoms such as the Bulan Kingdom, the Gudong Kingdom, and the Polo Kingdom were all promoted.
The empty spots for level 6 affiliated kingdoms were filled with small noble families and warrior families who had a lot of military merits. They became the new kings of these level 6 affiliated kingdoms, and they would become significant influencers after they accumulated enough territories and power.
These big adjustments weren’t the final event.
Next, all the elite warriors and soldiers of the affiliated kingdoms would need to participate in the war against the Spartax Kingdom; the war was where the real showdown was at. According to the order of Emperor Yassin, the affiliated kingdoms that accumulated enough military merits could get promoted again.
After the kingdoms were rewarded, it was time to reward the masters in the individual competition.
Masters who were placed in between No. 20 to No. 50 all became level 6 nobles of Zenit, and they got the roles of Team Commanders. They could serve in any one of the ten battle legions, or they could decide to work for the new legion that was going to comprised of soldiers and warriors from only the affiliated kingdoms.
Masters who were placed in between No. 19 to No. 11 all became level 5 nobles of Zenit, and they got the roles of Battalion Commanders.
Masters who were placed in between No. 10 to No. 4 all became level 4 nobles of Zenit, and they got the roles of Brigade Commanders.
Since [One Sword] wasn’t interested in the match that would determine the third and fourth seat, he didn’t even show up to the battle against Elena. Therefore, Elena and Luck Prince Shevchenko both were the Deputy Legion Commanders and became level 3 nobles of Zenit.
Fei, as the No.1 Master Warrior among all affiliated kingdoms, was the Legion Commander and a level 2 noble.
The structure of the military at Zenit was relatively simple. Each legion had five brigades, each brigade had four battalions, each battalion had five teams, and each team had 100 soldiers.
After heated discussions among the officials at the Military Headquarter of Zenit, it was determined that the new legion would be named [Wolf Teeth Legion], Fei would be the Legion Commander, and all of the supplies would be given by the Military Headquarter of Zenit.
As the commander, Fei could choose elites forces of any affiliated kingdom to complete the construction of [Wolf Teeth Legion], and Fei could pick any of the top 50 masters in the competition to fill the smaller positions in the legion.
It could be said that Fei was solely in charge of completing the construction.
After Dominguez announced all the rewards, almost everyone couldn’t believe their ears, including Fei.
Although Zenit did say that a new legion would be constructed, no one expected such a top-tier treatment. It felt like this new legion was constructed for the king of Chambord! After [Wolf Teeth Legion] was constructed, the king of Chambord would have 100% control!
What are the officials thinking?
No one understood what was going on. Everyone looked at Fei, but they felt a little numb. The rising speed of this new star was way too fast! After gaining control of the new legion, the king of Chambord would be one of the most powerful men in Zenit! With a legion filled with the most powerful masters among all affiliated kingdom, even the old and stacked forces of Zenit couldn’t rival against the king of Chambord!
Isn’t the empire worried about how no one could stop the king of Chambord in the future?
Or perhaps that Emperor Yassin who is really ill didn’t realize that his order might create a huge tumor for Zenit in the future?
