I Am Overlord

Xiang Shaoyun did not give an immediate response. Instead, he sank into thought. Han Pojun quickly added, "I know this is an excessive request, but I hope you can give them a chance. Both of them have the Yin Frost Physique, and they are excellent ice cultivators. Furthermore, I can promise that whoever you select will also be your lover."

Numerous young geniuses dreamed of entering the Dragon Phoenix Academy, even with the identity of a follower. After all, a genius capable of being a special-recruit disciple would definitely become a core disciple directly after joining. The followers of a core disciple would enjoy the benefits of regular disciples and would be able to utilize the resources of the academy.

One should never look down on the benefits a regular disciple could get. Anyone graduating from the Dragon Phoenix Academy wouldn't have a cultivation weaker than the Soul Foundation Realm. If one was talented enough, one could even go beyond that realm.

As for one with both talent and luck, there was a chance to even advance to the position of core disciple as well, and there was also a chance that one could be accepted as a personal disciple of an elder. Such a person would have a bright future.

That was why the young geniuses of the tier-6 and tier-7 organizations were willing to lower themselves and become a follower in order to enter one of the four academies. After all, proving themselves during the entrance test would be difficult with the sheer number of participants that would be there.

As for Han Pojun's offer, it wasn't even worth anything for a vast majority of people. After all, the Han Clan was merely a peak tier-5 organization. Although the Han Clan sisters were exceptionally beautiful with decent talents, there was no shortage of people like them in tier-6 and tier-7 organizations.

Han Pojun was nervous, and he hoped that Xiang Shaoyun would agree out of respect for Du Xuanhao. They might have to give up a woman of their clan, but if this woman could become a Sovereign in the future, the Han Clan would be able to grow to a brand new level. They could also form a connection with a genius who possessed a bright future like Xiang Shaoyun through her. Thus, they could only benefit from this arrangement.

Xiang Shaoyun finally replied, "In truth, they are still quite lacking."

A bitter look appeared on Han Pojun's face as he said, "You are right, Young Master Xiang. But I would still wish to beg for one spot. Our Han Clan will forever remember this favor."

He spoke softly, having zero confidence that Xiang Shaoyun would select his nieces.

Inwardly, he sighed, It's a pity that their Yin Frost Physiques are flawed. Otherwise, Young Master Xiang would definitely not reject them.

But what Xiang Shaoyun then said gave him hope.

"Calm down, Big Brother Han. If possible, they can come with me. But I can't guarantee they will be able to enter. Only if those other two are able to get through the test will they be able to join with me. Otherwise, I can only apologize in advance," said Xiang Shaoyun honestly.

" 'Those other two'?" Han Pojun blanked out.

"My friends. Both of them are qualified to take part in the test, and there is a high chance both of them will make it through the test. But of course, I can't be 100 percent sure," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"In other words, if your friends can get through the test themselves, Qianwei and Xuewei will be able to enter the academy with you?" Han Pojun said with disbelief.

"Exactly. But when a day comes where I need your help, I hope you won't reject me. As for the sisters, there is no need for them to become my lovers. I only need their loyalty," Xiang Shaoyun named his conditions. He added, "Of course, if I eventually fail to bring them in with me, forget everything I've said here."

"Haha, sure, sure, not a problem at all!" Han Pojun agreed immediately.

How could he disagree with such conditions? Just a single spot was enough for him to offer even the entire Han Clan, not to mention two spots. That gave him a feeling Du Xuanhao's friendship was really worth a lot.

Meanwhile, Du Xuanhao was thinking inwardly, Why is the young master doing this? It's such a waste!

He had once mentioned Han Pojun's request to Xiang Shaoyun, but he had also reminded Xiang Shaoyun to not do it out of respect for him. It would be much better to select those with better talents as followers.

He had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would ultimately agree to Han Pojun's request and even offer both spots. That was too big of a waste! But at the same time, he was moved that Xiang Shaoyun was willing to do so for his sake. Little did they know, Xiang Shaoyun had his own reasons for doing so.

Firstly, he did not want to recruit outsiders he couldn't trust as followers, even those with excellent talents. He also couldn't believe in the loyalty of those people. Secondly, the Han Clan sisters could still be molded. If he could improve their talents, he was confident they wouldn't be any weaker than any talented genius. Thirdly, he had also taken in consideration the friendship between Du Xuanhao and Han Pojun.

Those were the reasons why Xiang Shaoyun had selected the sisters. He was confident he would be able to earn their loyalty. After some idle chatter, Han Pojun impatiently left to look for his two nieces. At present, the two sisters were chatting in their room. Both of them were frowning, as if they were filled with worries.

"Big sister, Shaoyun is going to enter the Dragon Phoenix Academy soon. Does that mean we won't have much of a chance to see him again in the future?" asked Han Xuewei.

Han Qianwei sighed, "I guess so. He is a hidden dragon. A day will come when he soars above the skies. We are only commoners. How can we soar alongside him?"

Evidently, the two were feeling sad over their parting with Xiang Shaoyun. He had already occupied both their hearts. At this time, Han Pojun's voice rang out from outside the room. "Qianwei, Xuewei, come out."

The sisters left the room. Han Qianwei asked, "Uncle, is there anything? Why do you look so happy?"

"Haha, something great has happened! Something excellent has happened!" Han Pojun roared with laughter. He went straight to the point, "Young Master Xiang has agreed to bring you two along to the Dragon Phoenix Academy."

"What? Are you sure?" the two asked at the same time.

"Of course. It took me great effort to beg for this opportunity. You must not let it go to waste!" Han Pojun said seriously. The sisters were overjoyed, their eyes sparkling.

"But don't be too happy first. Young Master Xiang mentioned that the two of you will only have the chance if both his friends manage to get through the test. Otherwise, the spots will be taken," said Han Pojun.
