Traveling through the first year of Panlong and Magnolia

Andrew has thought about this many times.

The most difficult thing for him was to gain Beirut’s appreciation. Like in the original book, Linley, as the protagonist, had signed an equal contract with another God-Eating Rat since childhood. Even for Beibei’s sake, Beirut had to take care of Linley.

However, Andrew was not so lucky, and it was still nearly ten thousand years before Beibei was born. Therefore, Andrew considered this path.

Others may not know about the transformation of the soul, but Beirut must be aware of it.

In order to fight against the Lord of Light, Beirut has always hoped to strengthen the power of the Magnolia family. Selecting geniuses from the Magnolia plane to become the Lord God is one of his methods. However, ordinary geniuses, even if they achieve great perfection, are only lower-level Lord Gods in the end. Their strength is weaker than that of middle-level Lord Gods, and the gap between them and Augusta, the Lord of Light, is still difficult to calculate. Therefore, he pays more attention to special geniuses, such as soul mutations.

In the original book, he saw Olivia's soul mutation and spoke highly of him, saying that his potential was even higher than Lin Lei's. And because of Bei Bei, Beirut was naturally close to Lin Lei. So, when he said this, he undoubtedly expressed his appreciation for Olivia's soul mutation.

It can be seen that Beirut admires soul mutants, not to mention that Andrew has a talent for fire. And Beirut has a main godhead of fire.

“Maybe, when he sees my talent, he will consider me as a candidate for the Fire Godhead…” Andrew couldn’t help but think.

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Andrew began to practice in solitude. For him, after seeing the laws of heaven and earth, the bottleneck of the Holy Land no longer existed. In fact, as long as he reached the level of strength, he could even touch the edge of the God level. This was the result of his sudden enlightenment.

In the Earl's mansion, his cultivation reached a bottleneck, but the world outside was in turmoil.

As the strongest empire on the continent, the Yulan Empire's influence spread across the entire continent. Under the emperor's order, the news that Andrew had challenged Baird spread across the continent in just half a month!

In a beer hall in a small town in the Territory of Chaos, several soldiers were drinking and talking loudly.

"Have you heard that the Earl of the Magnolia Empire, Andrew Lance, actually challenged Lord Baird, a Saint Realm warrior who has been famous for thousands of years!"

"Rooney, who doesn't know this news now? Do I need you to tell me?" a soldier with a hairy face said disdainfully.

Rooney took a sip of wine and said, "Everyone knows the news. But do you know who this Earl is?"

"Do you know?" Everyone was attracted to him.

Rooney's face flushed and he was very excited.

"Of course. Let me tell you, this Earl of Lance is a legend. The emperor of the Yulan Empire said that his talent can be called the best in the continent for tens of thousands of years!"

"What? He's talented, so what? I heard that this earl is less than 20 years old. Even if he is talented, can he be stronger than Lord Baird?" A small man said unconvinced.

Rooney sneered, "You are not very talented, but you are jealous of Earl Lance! Let me tell you, Earl Lance is not only talented, but also very powerful. At the age of seventeen, he is already a ninth-level warrior and a ninth-level great magician!"

"Wow……"

Everyone in the beer cans exclaimed in amazement. They had never seen or even heard of a seventeen-year-old level nine expert.

"Not only that!" Rooney's voice rose several degrees, "According to the news from the Magnolia Empire, a month ago, Earl Lance had already fought with Lord Baird, and the two were evenly matched!"

At this moment, the beer hall was completely detonated! A seventeen-year-old ninth-level expert fighting a Saint Domain expert to a draw was beyond everyone's imagination!

"So I think," Rooney concluded, "the Count of Reims will definitely win in a year!"

At this time, not only the Territory of Chaos, but also everyone from the Far East Prairie to the dozen or so principalities across the Magic Beast Mountains to the east were talking about this duel.

Since the earth-shattering war more than a decade ago, the continent has been peaceful for a long time. In the past ten years, there has never been a duel with such a great influence. In the world of cultivation, everyone wants to become a strong person, and they all admire the strong. For many people with insufficient talent, being able to see the legendary battle of the Holy Land is their lifelong wish...

The news also reached Andrew's hometown of Maple Grove and the Cree tribe.

Many people in Maple Forest Town still remember the Lance family. Howard was the strongest level 6 warrior in the town. When they heard the news, they didn't know that this Earl Lance was the same person as Andrew. Later, as Andrew's information was constantly dug out, the people in Maple Forest Town knew about it.

"It turns out that we have a big shot here!"

The townspeople expressed their feelings and felt a little more proud when compared to other towns.

Apart from these unfamiliar people, the people who were most concerned about this duel were probably the people of the Cree tribe.

The first reaction of the elder when he heard the news was surprise. He was not like the others, who had already determined that Count Lance was the Andrew he knew without any information. At first, Baru did not believe it, but the news he received later left him speechless.

"Great Elder, do you think Andrew can really win?" Baru asked worriedly. He didn't spend much time with Andrew, but the two of them had a tacit understanding. Later, Andrew's strength grew rapidly and left him behind, which made Baru a little uncomfortable. However, he was a generous person and did not get jealous because of this.

The Great Elder's eyes were cloudy, but they were full of wisdom.

"Although I don't know the result of the competition, Andrew is steady and mature. He won't do anything he is not sure of. This time, it was the Magnolia Empire that spread the news again. It can be seen that Andrew took the initiative in this matter. He should be sure of it."

Baru's frown relaxed: "Yes, Andrew is not an impulsive person..."

The great elder looked at Baru and was very pleased. Baru had grown a lot over the years. He was no longer the impulsive barbarian boy and looked much more mature. Most importantly, his temperament, cautious, steady, thoughtful and enterprising, was enough for him to become an excellent tribal leader.

"Baru, Andrew is a friend of our Cree tribe. If the tribe encounters a disaster, we can seek help from him. However, the development of our Cree tribe still depends on you. Your strength has surpassed mine, and it is time to gain some experience. You should also go and watch Andrew's duel this time."

Baru nodded, his expression did not change, but his eyes were very sharp.

"Andrew, are you able to fight against the Holy Domain? I am still not as good as you. However, I will not stop. In the future, I will definitely become the first Holy Domain warrior in the history of the Kree tribe and carry forward the tribe!"

No matter what happened outside, Andrew still comprehended the laws in an orderly manner every day, and his strength was also increasing rapidly. Especially the thunder and fire fighting spirit, now he has comprehended the "momentum", and one step forward is the holy realm.

Howard and Janice were shocked when they first heard the news. They didn't expect that their son would dare to challenge the Saint Domain strongman and spread the news. For this reason, Andrew explained for several days before calming them down.

However, the two were still worried. In order to avoid disturbing Andrew's practice, no one in the family would take the initiative to go to the backyard during this period.

In such an atmosphere, a year passed quickly.

It was a clear, cloudless day.

In the northeast of the Magnolia Empire, near the Dark Forest, in the city of Cobis, countless people gathered, including many powerful people who possessed high-level magical beasts.

At noon, the flowing crowd suddenly split into a wide road. On the other side of the road, a line of troops wearing golden armor and marching in an orderly manner slowly approached. In the center of the team was a gorgeous carriage.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor!"

On both sides of the road, wherever the carriage arrived, pedestrians bowed and some even knelt down. The Yulan Empire was now overwhelming the entire continent, and even the Saint Domain masters did not dare to offend easily. Its emperor was naturally respected by everyone.

In the car was the emperor of the Magnolia Empire.

"Adonis, tell me, why did Andrew choose the city of Corbis as the location for the final battle? Can he have any advantage here?" the emperor asked the swordsman next to him.

Adonis shook his head: "According to my understanding, Earl Lance has never been here. Perhaps he just wants to make the duel more fair."

The emperor disagreed: "You underestimate Andrew. If he wants a fair duel, he can have it over the Magnolia River. This place is very close to the Dark Forest, and the dark elements are much denser than other places. Moreover, he chose the time at night, which is all in Baird's favor."

Adonis was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, are you saying that Count Lance doesn't take Baird seriously at all?"
