“A Storm Lord?” Song Jian was taken aback, hearing this term for the first time. A mutated unicorn was just a mount he had; could it also become a lord?

“Could it be that a mere mount can become a lord, just like me?” Song Jian couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course,” Guyar nodded and said, “In this world, any creature, even any elemental being, is qualified to become a lord. It’s just that the more powerful the creature, the higher the likelihood they’ll become a lord. In fact, there are many non-human species that are powerful lords in this world, some of whom have lived for over a thousand years with formidable power, comparable to the gods of legend.”

“And the Storm Lord is one of them,” Guyar continued, “Normal air elementals have a certain chance to evolve into greater air elementals upon reaching their maximum level. After that, greater air elementals have a one in ten thousand chance to evolve into lightning elementals, beings that control the power of thunder and lightning. Lightning elementals that continue to enhance themselves, given extraordinary opportunities, have a slight chance to become a Storm Lord. It is said that in the distant Kingdom of Clouds, a Storm Lord exists…”

“It can be said that any creature with the attribute of lightning has the potential to become a Storm Lord, and so does your mount,” Guyar said.

Song Jian nodded, though he didn’t really care. After all, he had come to this world only to participate in an assessment and advance to the second tier of combat power. He would soon leave, and only if he were to stay in this world would he be interested in cultivating his mount into a Storm Lord. The very thought of it felt thrilling.

Along the way, Guyar and Song Jian chatted continuously, enjoying a harmonious relationship. Through these conversations, Song Jian learned many secrets about the world, knowledge that the City Lord Mansion would not have recorded, known only to an experienced old mage like Guyar.

“City Lord, up ahead is the Mire Swamp, a paradise for earth elementals,” an excited expression appeared in Guyar’s eyes.

Although Guyar was also a hero, the army he led had a chaotic array of troop types: there were over a dozen mage apprentices, seven or eight iron golems constructed of steel, and several gargoyles made entirely of rock.

Song Jian suddenly remembered the information from the City Lord Mansion; these troop types seemed to belong to a faction called the Tower, so it appeared that Guyar was a hero from the Tower faction.

Boom, boom, boom~

While Song Jian was recalling the City Lord Mansion’s information, a thunderous noise suddenly came from ahead. Looking up, he saw a huge stone elemental, over three meters tall, slowly walking out of the Mire Swamp.

Stone elementals, normally heavy-bodied and unable to traverse swamps, now seemed weightless. With every step, they floated across the swamp’s surface, but the friction between the rocks of their gigantic bodies produced a thunderous noise.

“I don’t know if it’s good luck or bad luck that we’ve encountered a stone elemental just upon arriving at the Mire Swamp. This is a level forty elemental warrior, not someone we can contend with,” Guyar sighed while looking at the distant, enormous stone elemental, his face showing a hint of distress.

Although Guyar had planned to claim the earth elemental temple within the Mire Swamp and would have to confront these stone elementals sooner or later, his original plan was to capture some lower-level earth elementals first and then steamroll his way through, forming a large earth elemental army before starting to look for stone elementals to battle.

“A level forty stone elemental?” Song Jian’s eyes narrowed as he gazed at the stone elemental.

This stone elemental, being a fifth-tier troop type, could completely crush and destroy Guyar’s army single-handedly if a fight ensued.

“I wonder who would be stronger or weaker between it and my pet, Gulu?” Suddenly, Song Jian thought of Gulu, his stone elemental pet that had been sleeping in the Pet Space.

With a thought, Song Jian directly released Gulu.

Just awakened from its slumber, Gulu appeared slightly dazed, but very soon, it was attracted to the environment rich in earth elements surrounding it and couldn’t help but make a joyful “gulu gulu” sound.

The appearance of Gulu, a level 50 lord-level BOSS, immediately caused chaos among Guyar and his troops, with several Mage apprentices even turning around to flee. It seemed the morale of the army led by Guyar was not very high.

After a brief surprise and panic, the experienced Guyar managed to quell the disorder in the ranks. Gazing at Gulu, his eyes sparkled with a different kind of brilliance, and his look towards Song Jian also conveyed a hint of admiration.

“Respected lord, I never expected you to own such a powerful King of Stone Element Elves, truly enviable. Your formidable strength will surely be renowned throughout the entire human kingdom!” Guyar said respectfully.

Song Jian, intrigued, pointed to the stone elemental in the distance, “Do you think Gulu can defeat that stone elemental?”

“My lord, your King of Stone Element Elves is at least a sixth-tier troop, while the ordinary stone element elves are only fifth-tier. Even a group of such elementals would not stand a chance against it,” Guyar said with an envious look.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll leave Gulu under your command for now,” Song Jian said with a smile.

Guyar was one of his heroes and whether it was he or the troops he led, Song Jian had full control. He did not need Guyar’s consent to reassign his entire army or even to order Guyar, now a mere commander without an army, to launch a suicidal charge against a group of powerful monsters.

However, generally, no lord would do such a thing because it would be utterly insane. Should such a deed become known, it’s doubtful any hero would wish to join his ranks.

Integrating Gulu into Guyar’s army would better utilize Gulu’s abilities. Besides, Song Jian could always retrieve Gulu from Guyar’s army and return it to the Pet Space at any time.

“Really, Lord?” Guyar’s eyes showed disbelief as he stared at Gulu, his look turning into one of fascination, and he even made an unconscious swallowing motion.

The way Guyar looked at Gulu was akin to a lecher eyeing a beautiful woman, which gave Song Jian the chills.

“You’ll command the upcoming battle,” Song Jian said after integrating Gulu into Guyar’s troops.

“Yes, my Lord!” Tuya’s morale soared as he led the troops, charging toward the stone elemental in the distance.
