My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

The generals generally believed that the six Tianyuan City's strong people who had just made their move all possessed World Level strength.

Of course, accompanying the Lord of Tianyuan City's entourage, that big bird that did not make a move, was probably not among them. Jun estimated it was likely the City Lord's mount, which had shown itself to be inadequate in the recent battle, looking as though it had no chance to contribute at all.

Jun: "..." Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire

What could he, Lord Jun, do about his lack of range? He surely couldn't fly up and slap that terrifying Giant Dragon a couple of times, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to return if he did.

Alright, he had to admit that he was somewhat disappointed, but after all, there was never a place for him, Lord Jun, in the entire tactical system to begin with, so it wasn't his fault.

But what about Xie Yi? How did he manage to receive so many admiring glances along the way?

Could it be that these generals thought him, Lord Jun, incompetent, but Xie Yi was very capable? There were times when reputation could be misleading. Just wait until Jun evolved; the birds of the entire Eternal World would sing for him!

After defeating Duke Gluttony·Projection, Mu Yuan then returned to the Core Fortress.

The rest, such as eradicating monster waves and the like, no longer required his attention.

"World-class strongman?"

He had long been aware of the officers' discussions.

That wasn't far from the truth.

Hong Yi and Seventeen, who had just evolved, had roughly the standard of first-rate World-class strongmen. Of course, since they themselves were Legendary Lives that wielded Conceptual Power, against beings from the Law Realm, their advantage over other World-class strongmen was much greater.

Tasks that many first-rate World-class strongmen couldn't accomplish together, they could do easily, very easily.

Once they could wield even more massive Conceptual Power and their development into Legendary Power deepened, directly confronting the Law Realm also became completely possible.

As for Jun and Xie Yi who had not yet evolved?

Their Domain levels, having been enhanced through several fortuitous opportunities, also caused their personal strength to surge, and their actual combat power was no less than that of World-class strongmen. Calling them World-class strongmen wasn't wrong either.

However,

after all, it was a battle of encirclement with an enemy that was the projection of a High Duke, whose power was difficult to define. Seventeen, Xie Yi, Hong Yi, these strong people wouldn't so easily gain recognition as World-class figures just from this one battle.

The Tianyuan Powerhouses certainly didn't care.

Mu Yuan felt the same.

In this battle, he had intentionally reserved some of his strength but also deliberately revealed some, which was strategic.

It would not only serve to lull Dragon Sleep Valley into complacency but also to establish greater prestige throughout the entire Dragon-man Battlefield.

Nothing could more efficiently boost one's prestige than defeating a breath-taking enemy.

Especially in this neutral zone, occupied by a joint garrison of multiple countries and forces, where the fist is law and strength is everything.

Mu Yuan did not wish to bother with command but needed to gradually reveal Dragon Sleep Valley's 'grander scheme' to pressure the various countries.

At this time, the weight of one's words naturally varied depending on the speaker's strength.

And the strength of Tianyuan City...

...

"I had long heard that the Lord of Tianyuan City is the Tai Xuan Alliance's most outstanding, monstrous Miracle Lord in history, with a promotion speed even faster than the famed Lord of Han Yue City, commanding countless fierce generals and elite troops. But all I've heard were just rumors, and seeing is believing after all."

"That's right. I was a bit skeptical about the Lord of Tianyuan City's battle accomplishments, too exaggerated and absurd. The Lord himself is only in the Soul Realm and has already cultivated three World Level strong people, which seemed utterly unreasonable! But now upon seeing it for myself, oh, it turns out reality is even more exaggerated than the rumors."

"+1+1, I was also half doubtful about the Lord of Tianyuan City's battle record before, thinking there was some exaggeration. This isn't me being biased, even among World-class strongmen, some do have inflated reputations."

As this strongman spoke, he glanced into the distance and whispered to his companion, "Do you remember the news that broke out a while ago? One of the seven heroic Lords of Shen Yao Empire, the 'Winter King', got killed in action while chasing a Grand Duke of the Hunt, and if he hadn't been in the Soul Realm, he would've perished then and there without his Soul Box to save his life."

"The Divine Brilliance Official announcement said that the heroic Lord 'Winter King' fell victim to an ambush and was defeated and killed in the wilderness. However, I've heard a rumor that the Winter King was actually killed one-on-one by the Grand Duke of the Hunt during the pursuit!"

He might have been careless.

Or perhaps that Grand Duke of the Hunt had some sort of ace up his sleeve.

But no matter what, people often use the ability to defeat a Grand Duke of the Hunt in a one-on-one fight as a criterion for World-class strongmen. Yet the Winter King not only was defeated but couldn't even escape and died on the spot, an apparent gap in their abilities. It's also apparent that the heroic Lord's combat power and past achievements were overinflated.

Shen Yao Empire heavily promoted the seven young generations of heroic Lords to create momentum, but now many people understand that there was some exaggeration involved.

People originally thought that the battle achievements trumpeted by the Lord of Tianyuan City were so exaggerated, absurd, and unrealistic, that there must certainly be some overstatement involved, only the extent of exaggeration was in question.

Unexpectedly,

"Too low! Absolutely too low!"

"What do you mean only three World-class strongmen under the Lord of Tianyuan City! There are clearly six of them!"

"Two of the most famous strong people under the Lord of Tianyuan City aren't even included this time, which means that there are eight unparalleled Divine Generals under the Lord of Tianyuan City? Add the Lord himself, and isn't that a total of nine? Hiss—!"
