Chapter 11

He relied completely on the Fertility Talent. Maybe if he won the Headmaster would pay more attention to him, but with just that it isn't enough to make him the leader, and from the large betting pool it isn't hard to see that he has lost the attribute!

''Haha with this Fertility Skill my Descendants will see a massive growth, and with their physical strength it shouldn't be hard to gain a good foothold and eventually form an Empire!''

In the Family Development World territories Mortal Kingdoms can be divided into Ordinary Kingdoms, Empires and finally Dynasties.

There are quite basic requirements for the first two options. Kingdoms are basic ownership of land and the declaration of a king.

Empires need a massive amount of territory to form, more than two dozen kingdoms.

But Dynasties are quite hard, they need to be controlled by the same family for over 5,000 years to be considered a Dynasty!

''Haha if I can manage to create a Dynasty I would definitely get an SS rating or higher!''

Zach dreamed, but knew it was quite difficult. Although making a Dynasty will provide you with a SS Rating it is only when you form it using Mortals.

If any Cultivators are involved in the forming of a Dynasty, you would be lucky to get a C Rating!

After all, Cultivators are on a completely different Biological Level than Mortals! It couldn't be easier to occupy an Empire when you're a Cultivator!

Like how in his last descent a Single Cultivator used his skills to create a force and wiped out the large Kingdom that Frederick worked hard to create!

Even the Tiger Legion were wiped out.

''Members of the Elite Class, please prepare.''

[Gambling for the Jude Elites Tournament has ended.]

[Betting has been completed. Total bets amount to 500,000 System Points, Total Participants- 30]

''Half a Million huh…''

Zach just glanced at it. Compared to his own bets and the man who bet the Fertility Skill, it isn't worth mentioning.

But after all it makes sense, the Elite Class knows how their strength compares to their surroundings, and there is Young Master Cameron in the game! How dare they bet a lot of attributes.

''The Screens are on!''

''Wow look at that?!''

''Is this what the real elites look like?''

Just then Zach heard some chanting from the crowd, drawing his attention to the screens.

And what he saw shocked him.

On each of the screens a different force was presented, however whether it was quantity or Quality it far did any student in the Ordinary Class!

Well maybe only Zach and Mikey could compare.

However as Zach looked through each force, even the weakest had over ten thousand descendants!

And those that had lower numbers seemed to have some strange mystery surrounding their descendants, definitely the result of Cultivation Skills.

''Incredible, how am I meant to complete?''

Zachs eyes slowly worked up the screens. The higher he got the more terrifying the forces became!

Large Legions looking like well trained machines, archers lined the edges as they stared at the front.

Even the weakest scholars and women where battle ready,

Hundreds of robed figures trained in the Cultivation Skills but lacking the Cultivation Talent.

After all it's a talent costing 1,000,000! How could something like that be so easily obtained? These Elites have taken out everything they can to prepare.

''No! If I want to stand a chance at winning I have to complete another Descent. It is unlikely this match will last less than an Hour.''

Zach tapped his chin, staring at the rewards in his Item Panel.

''System use my Four talent Draws!''

Zach frowned and then decided to do four pulls in a row without waiting for one after the other.

[Ding]

[Reward: Farming +1]

''Dam it!''

[Ding]

[Reward: Communication +1]

''Not bad…''

[Ding]

[Reward: Thievery +1]

''Dammit''

[Ding]

[Reward: Physical Strength +1]

''Come on, last chance!''

[Ding]

[Reward: Luck +1]

''Ah? Luck!? Ahaha not bad not bad at all!!''

Zach was instantly ecstatic. Luck is an incredible talent. With it you are far more likely to find chances and survive crises!

''System use my Talent Doubler on Luck!''

[Ding]

[Reward: Luck +1]

Zach felt a strange sensation passing through his body, an intangible affect running through his skin.

In an instant Zach had gained a profit of 100,000 System Points! Although it might theoretically be better to increase his Physical Strength, there is a limit to how far your strength can get you in the Mortal World.

Maybe someone has a Physical Strength Attribute of 40, but in the face of someone with a fragment of a Cultivation Skill they would still have to bow their heads.

''I will definitely be able to achieve great things this time!''

''But what should I do with my System Points?''

Just as Zach was deciding whether to spend his points, a voice awoke him.

''Look! It's Young Master Camerons descendants!''

Zach instantly stared at the largest screen, Cameron hadn't been careful about hiding his identity, his name directly placed on the screen itself.

However this didn't matter. Instead Zach was focused on the colossal force that filled the screen.

At least over Three Hundred Thousand Descendants, each marked with three different insignias.

Clearly Cameron had managed to gain a Kingdom in each of his lives!

The Soldiers were filled with violent energy as they marched forward, the ground shaking and crumbling under each of their steps.

Behind them, lines of Scholars organised battle formations and instructed the Soldiers marching.

Around their waists, knives were well equipped to prepare for their own eventual battles.

''Cavalry!?''

However Zach was even more stunned. Behind the group of archers, there was close to 10,000 horseback soldiers marching into battle.

Dozens of Generals led the way riding on armoured war horses.

Similar to weapons and armour, horses are also considered when your descendants are formed for duels and tournaments, Zach has even heard of Dragon cavalry!

''Impressive.''

Zach couldn't help but sigh that some people just had a better starting point than others.

After all, even if he has a Son of Luck the impact they can have in their lifetime is limited.

Take Michael for example, managing to make a small farming family into a merchant hegemon in the town is already incredibly impressive and unimaginable for most people.

Especially since the family has no prior background or talents!

But with the attributes that Cameron started with from his father, and the clear effect of cultivation techniques it was easy for Cameron to start from an Empire in his first life.

''No, in the future I will definitely be able to exceed them! Even if he has Cavalry, I'm not any worse.''

Zach glanced at it, and thought of his Tiger Legion. Although they were strong they were small in number.

After all, the technique is still quite difficult to practise.

But now with his increased intelligence it is likely even more will be able to practise it in the future!

''This time I need to develop greater financial stability. WIthout enough money I won't be able to spend the money to train a good Cavalry group!''

In order to beat some of the Elite Students Zach didn't want to hesitate. Cavalry are incredibly expensive to train and maintain, ordinary kingdoms can't bear the financial drain.

After all, horses that can support strong Mortals on the world are specially bred, they eat a lot and horsemen need constant training to maintain their quality.

''I need to do it quick!''

Zach stared at the first confrontation.

A team draped in black armour smashing against Iron Dressed soldiers. Every hit caused ripples to pass through the sky as they activated their various skills.

Even if they haven't used Spiritual Energy, most cultivation skills have great benefits to Mortals who just read them! Let alone those who practise it, even the fur is enough to make them far better than Mortals.

''They are all comparable to my Tiger Warriors! How strong must Camerons Elite Legions be?''

Zach wasn't so arrogant to think his 20 points in Physical Strengthening is enough to compare.

After all Physical Strengthening is still a very important trait, determining how quickly someone can get stronger and how strong they are in adulthood.

''Go! System start my descent.''

Zach stared at the battles raging on, and finally closed his eyes again. Descending onto the World of Family Development.

''Outside the Imperial City?''

''Haha I will definitely rise much quicker.''
