I Am Overlord

Chapter 1701: Mouth Slapping

"Tsk, tsk, the people with the silver-scaled elephants seem to be members of Southern Wasteland\'s Tai Clan. Only they can train such powerful demonic elephants. I heard that a fist genius had appeared in their clan. Around 500 years ago, he had surpassed all his peers in the Southern Wasteland."

"Is Tai Qianquan, the one who had obtained a guardians token, here? He\'s an exceedingly outstanding young God."

"Yes, it\'s Tai Qianquan. The eight riders are probably his followers. It is said that he\'s very protective of his own. All who dare to show him disrespect will not be spared. I wonder who that person is, for him to show no fear toward Tai Qianquan."

"He looks familiar. I don\'t think he\'s someone unknown. I guess a good show is about to unfold."

...

Sounds of discussion broke out among the people near the guild. None of the people who could reach here would be weaker than the Saint Realm. All of them were people with strong backgrounds. Thus, they did not move away at the first sign of conflict. Rather, they all remained to enjoy the show.

The Gods mounted atop the eight elephants all soared into the sky. They were all dressed in animal skins, their attire greatly different than that of a regular person. With one look, it was clear they were barbaric individuals.

These people were from the Southern Wasteland\'s Tai Province. The blood of Tai Barbarians coursed in their veins, and they called themselves the Tai Clan, forming an ancient organization comparable to the Yu Clan.

"Audacious! You dare startle our mounts? Kneel down and await your death!" demanded a Tai Clan member, proudly hovering high in the air.

The eight Tai Clan members were decently strong, with the leader even more impressive. He was at fourth-stage Rebirth Realm. The others were between first- and third-stage Rebirth Realm. Each of them was glaring at Huang Baiwu fiercely, as though they would attack at the sign of any refusal.

Instead of replying, Huang Baiwu respectfully stood beside Xiang Shaoyun and asked, "Overlord, what do you think?"

"Slap their mouths," said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.

He had just arrived at the Guardians Guild, yet he had been provoked repeatedly. He decided to no longer put up with it. Otherwise, everyone would think that they could push his buttons without consequence. At his command, Huang Baiwu shot forth like a gust of wind. He moved so fast that the eight Tai Clan members were slapped before they could react.

Pa! Pa!

Their faces were swollen before they even knew what was happening.

"With the little strength you have, you dare act arrogantly here? Piss off!" berated Huang Baiwu as he released his aura of a sixth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator. The eight were unable to maintain their flight, and they all dropped onto the ground. They were completely helpless before him.

Their expressions changed rapidly as they finally realized that they had provoked someone beyond their league. However, they wouldn\'t submit so easily. They were resolute and stubborn and were never afraid of trouble. In any case, they still had a backer behind them. Thus, the leader said, "Do you know that we\'re members of the Tai Clan? For daring to insult us, you will suffer a miserable fate!"

"This place does not belong to the Tai Clan," said Huang Baiwu coldly as he sent a heavy kick at the speaker\'s face, sending that person flying and coughing blood.

The other Tai Clan members drew their weapons and attacked, but they all suffered the same fate as their companion.

"Alright, Baiwu. Let\'s leave," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Yes, overlord," Huang Baiwu answered.

That one exchange told everyone nearby who they were.

"So it\'s him? No wonder they\'re acting so unyieldingly. Those Tai Clan people are truly unlucky to encounter a monster like him."

"Is that the overlord, Xiang Shaoyun, the sole disciple of Deputy Ge Yi?"

"Yes, it\'s him. When he arrived yesterday, even the city guards were on their knees. This is a domineering individual."

"The man who attacked is probably Huang Baiwu of the Dusk Dynasty. I did not expect that he would become Xiang Shaoyun\'s follower. He will be quite a helper."

"Look, they are heading toward the Inspection Hall. Looks like he\'s going to start his bid to become the young guild master. This is getting exciting."

...

At one of the guild side halls was the guild\'s ad hoc inspection department. The place was managed by God Realm cultivators who were also in charge of verifying the identity of the young Gods who came with guardians tokens. Three tests were involved in the process.

Firstly, the Bone Measuring Test to make sure that the token holder was below 1,000 years old.

Secondly, the Heart Asking Test to verify the character of the token holder. Someone who did not care about the dominion would naturally be unqualified to be the young guild master.

Thirdly, the Martial Test. Those below the God Realm would not be able to keep the young guild master position even after obtaining it.

The three tests were enough to disqualify many people, and they also served as a reflection of the guild\'s principles. Ahead of Xiang Shaoyun, several youngsters shrouded in divine auras were awaiting their turns to be inspected. All of them were heroic and handsome. Each of them was a giant among men. And without fail, all of them were Gods.

Hostility flickered in their eyes when they saw Xiang Shaoyun, and their faces turned more solemn than before. Evidently, Xiang Shaoyun was giving them a rather heavy pressure.

Xiang Shaoyun ignored them. Instead, he had Huang Baiwu deliver his token to the God on duty in the hall.

The God hurriedly and fawningly walked over upon seeing the token. "Young Master Xiang, you\'re here! Come, you only need to register yourself here."

And thus, Xiang Shaoyun skipped the line. The others looked confused, and one of them said, "Lord, is this in accordance with the rules?"

"He has a deputy\'s token. What do you think?" replied the God.

That person instantly stopped speaking.

However, someone else was still unhappy. "I thought the Guardians Guild has always been fair? Is he better than us just because he has a deputy\'s token? In that case, how can we continue to have faith in the Guardians Guild?"

Everyone present was proud and arrogant, so a few more people voiced their agreement. They were all unhappy that someone was skipping the line.

"Hehe, you\'re actually right. Every deputy is a lord guardian. If not even a lord guardian can have some special benefits, how can they hope to control the guild? How can they hope to control their subordinates? Stop making trouble without any reason, or you can just leave," said the God with a sneer.

Those youngsters all stopped talking because they did not want to lose the chance to compete. However, they also remembered the face of this God. If they could really become the young guild master, this God would be their first victim.

Xiang Shaoyun did not mind their complaints. However, it would be too insulting if he couldn\'t even get the prerogative to skip the line after using his master\'s name.

"Old Zhou, it is fine to give someone with a lord guardian\'s token some privileges, but the three tests can\'t be skipped. Otherwise, the guild will lose the public\'s trust," an indifferent voice rang out.
