Tang Shaoyang stood in front of the three meters tall beastmen in front of him. Not just did their aura grow stronger, but their stature got bigger.
"Can you stop releasing the heat?" He asked the Flaming Lion. Kairu's mane was glowing in red, releasing a flaming heat to the surroundings. The lobby was supposed to be cool, but it was hot now because of Kairu. Making it worse, Wen's feathers released the breeze as well, spreading the heat to the lobby.
"It must be hard for him to control the heat, Master. He is excited to meet you." Wen smiled as he informed Tang Shaoyang. The biggest change was that their faces changed into the human's face. Wen had bright green eyes with green brows, but his face was a bit hairy. As for Kairu, he had a sharp brow with fierce red eyes and his red hair mixed together with the thick red mane.
'You are releasing breeze too. Does that mean you are excited to meet me?' Tang Shaoyang did not expose Wen outright as he smiled at them. "You two have grown stronger while I am away, but I heard you did not listen to Zhang Mengyao's command?"
Kairu flinched slightly when he heard that while Wen maintained his smile. "We figured out that moving on our own is better for our growth than moving together with others. However, we also have been helping out the survivors from the other regions. We are helping the base in our way."
"Good job," Tang Shaoyang tapped Kairu's shoulder and Wen's shoulder. "I have heard a lot about your contributions as well. However, missing without communication is not the right thing to do. You have to report your movement with Zhang Mengyao at least to coordinate with the main force. Alright, since you guys are curious about a lot of things, do you want to visit another world with me? We have to pick the last fighter for the tournament."
Kairu nodded his head repeatedly at the words while Wen nodded his head once. Under many people's gazes, Tang Shaoyang led the two beastmen outside the building.
"Bo- Lord Tang Shaoyang!" Hearing the shout, Tang Shaoyang's body shuddered. He was uncomfortable to be called lord in front of many people. He looked toward the voice; Qin Shoushan and Zhao Zhong walked toward him side by side. 'As I thought, I am still not used to how they address me, especially here, on Earth.'
Qin Shoushan bowed his head toward Tang Shaoyang. "Welcome back, Lord Tang Shaoyang."
Tang Shaoyang nodded and scanned the two from top to bottom. He had heard from Zhang Mengyao that the two had reached Epic Rank too. "Good work, you two." As someone who was not good with words, that was the only thing that could come out of his mouth. 'It will be better if they can treat me casually like before, but I think that's not the right thing to do.'
The Tang Empire was growing rapidly, and he must get used to how the people addressed him since he took this path. "You can wait inside. I will pick up our last fighter for the Fighting Tournament."
After saying that to the two, he flew toward the Dimensional Gate direction. At the same time, Wen carried Kairu to fly, following him. Soon they arrived at the Dimensional Gate and entered Lukan once more.
The dwarves swarmed toward him when he arrived in the underground settlement. But they immediately backed away at the sight of Kairu and Wen. Then he found out that the dwarves wanted to know what Earth looked like, and they wanted to know when they would be moving up.
"First of all, they are your allies. His name is Kairu, and this one is Wen. Second, we are still surveying the territory and will send my representative when the time comes. So, you don't need to worry about it, Engin." Tang Shaoyang calmed down the dwarves.
"I apologize, Your Majesty." Chief Engin bowed. "We are just anxious about moving up to a foreign environment. However, can we choose by ourselves where we will move to, Your Majesty?"
"Yes, we will provide the territory, and you will choose the location by yourself. That's the plan, but please wait for our arrangement at the moment. We need preparation because the people of my world never saw dwarf, elven, and beastmen are uncommon in my world. Be easy, and my people will come within a few days, or maybe tomorrow." Tang Shaoyang explained to the dwarves.
After calming down the dwarf, he walked out of the underground settlement with Kairu and Wen. "Have you seen dwarves in Arkania? Or is this your first time seeing them?"
"We haven't heard them, let alone seen them." Wen was the first to answer him as Kairu followed with a nod. As they came out of the underground settlement, they arrived in the throne hall where Marshal Alton, Vice Marshal Ashley, Legion Commander Moonsong, Vice-Legion Commander Virion, and dozens of generals were waiting for him.
These people were about to stand and give him a formal greeting, but Tang Shaoyang raised his hand to stop them. "Let's skip the formality, we don't have that much time." He opened the screen, and it was an hour and twenty minutes before the System would open the portal gate to the arena of the Fighting Tournament.
Tang Shaoyang went to the throne and sat, scanning his subordinates while Wen and Kairu stood next to him. The two beastmen were surprised to find a lot stronger individuals than them. At least six individuals were stronger than them in this throne hall based on the aura.
Tang Shaoyang was direct with his words and told them why he gathered them here. It was to choose the last spot for the fighting tournament, and he did not forget to mention the prize of a hundred levels from the tournament. However, he only had one spot for that, and he could tell the change of atmosphere when he mentioned the last part.
A hundred levels were massive for them who had reached level 2000 and above. Of course, Tang Shaoyang did not want his subordinates to fight for that last spot. "I have three names in my head, Alton, Moonsong, and Revalor."
Alton and Moonsong were most likely chosen because the three were someone with the highest level. However, they did not expect to hear the last name. Revalor was a slave, while Alton and Moonsong had a high ranking in the military. As Revalor's son, Virion was surprised to hear his father was nominated to be a candidate for the fighting tournament.
"We are going to discuss the last spot, and we only have twenty minutes for that. So, I need your neutral and honest opinion regarding the last candidate." Tang Shaoyang revealed his intention of gathering them was for this. He could just choose one of them, but he felt it was better to talk it out with them directly, especially the involved person.
Alton and Moonsong stood across from each other, exchanging glances. They seemed to be communicating even though no words came out of their mouths.. They nodded as Alton stepped up.
Tang Shaoyang stood in front of the three meters tall beastmen in front of him. Not just did their aura grow stronger, but their stature got bigger.
