Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 416 The Arrival of a Prodigy
Lu Ming did not notice his wife's actions. He only saw the two empresses and a group of imperial concubines chatting and laughing around two women. One was Mo Ling, and the other was Yin Yue, the eldest daughter of the Tianyin Clan.

Both sides seemed very happy.

Moreover, the latter also prepared many gifts, all of which were unique to the Hongmeng Great World, and gave one to each of the women in Lu Ming's harem, including Mo Ling.

As for Lu Ming, he was drinking happily with the geniuses of various races at this time.

An ancient giant god-like prodigy walked over. Although he had tried his best to shrink his body, he was still three meters tall, and his whole body was covered with terrifying muscles.

His eyes reflected a wildness.

This ancient giant spirit race is also an ancient race in the Hongmeng World. The man in front of him is the clan's prodigy, the ninth son of the clan leader. Although he is strong and has reached the standard of a prodigy, he is not a direct descendant.

Therefore, they were severely suppressed within their own clan.

After being injured in the secret realm last time, he was even hunted down by his own brother. If it weren't for Da Yu, he would have been dead long ago.

Although his father knew about all this, he didn't care or ask any questions. Therefore, he was completely disappointed with the ancient giant spirit race and decided to stay in the Great Yu from now on. This time, he entered the palace to see Lu Ming.

Stand next to the other person at this time.

"thump!"

Then, surprisingly, he knelt down on the ground.

Seeing him like this, Lu Ming immediately stood up to help him up, saying, "We agreed to only drink today, everyone can do as they please, why are you doing this?"

He said with a smile, his tone conveying a sense of warmth and friendliness.

This moved the ancient giant god even more, for no one in the clan had ever treated him like this before.

“Your Majesty, I have broken with my clan and from now on I am willing to follow you and become one of your subordinates.” His voice was sincere.

In an instant, everyone in the arena turned to look, and the most eager gazes were from the geniuses of various races.

The prodigies who are here today are actually the ones who get bullied by their clans.

In short, none of them could be considered legitimate sons; they were all illegitimate sons of the family.

They are not valued and are severely suppressed.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen in love with this place so quickly after arriving in Dayu.

At that moment, Lu Ming's expression turned serious.

"Do you know that if you join the Great Yu, you must be loyal to me forever, loyal to the Great Yu, never betray me, and abide by the laws of the Great Yu? Can you do that?"

“I can do it. From now on, I will only obey His Majesty’s orders. Whoever you tell me to kill, I, Jue, will kill!” said the pride of the Far Giant Spirit Clan.

The fat on his face twitched at this moment.

Lu Ming looked at him with satisfaction in his eyes. He had already investigated the man, and he was pretty much as Lu Ming had described. His cultivation was at the mid-stage of Saint King, making him a powerful henchman.

If they absorb it, the strength of the Great Yu will definitely reach a new level.

After thinking about this, he said, "Alright, in that case, you will be my retainer from now on. If you want to become a general in the future, you can be appointed according to your military merits!"

As Lu Ming finished speaking.

"Buzz!"

Golden light descended from the sky, covering the great calamity in the arena.

Then, a giant spirit appeared behind him, its entire body gleaming gold.

At the same time, a large number of powerful figures and other prodigies knelt on the ground, pleading, "Your Majesty, please take us in!"

For a time, more than twenty outstanding talents knelt down in the arena.

They were all promising talents who were preparing to pledge allegiance to Lu Ming.

At this moment, they appeared extremely excited. Within their clan, they were destined to be overlooked, but in the Great Yu, they could rise to high positions based on their own merits.

So, everyone wants to give it a try.

Moreover, Dayu is currently the safest place.

Some of them are so talented that they even threaten the direct line of successors, so they are suppressed even more. In each clan, such people, even if they gain the recognition of their family, will not grow up and will mostly die on the road of struggle.

After all, the growth of a genius requires not only strong personal talent, but also the strong support of their maternal clan.

But they don't, so they often fail to grow up and die young.

Reaching the Saint King realm was already the limit of endurance for those family heirs.

If they don't plan their escape route soon, a brutal massacre may await them.

However, no one believed they could defeat the direct descendants of those families, who were supported by their maternal clans.

Looking at these people, Lu Ming was surprised to find that so many talented individuals were willing to pledge their allegiance to him.

However, he immediately said, "Very well, since you are willing to join my Great Yu, then I will accept you all. You will all be fifth-rank officials. If you make meritorious contributions on the battlefield and wish to become a general, you can become a general!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

All the prodigies immediately said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then, the power of fortune descended from the sky once more, showering upon everyone's bodies.

Seeing this, Lu Ming understood.

From this day forward, the Great Yu will no longer fear anyone else. If the Wang family launches another attack on the Great Yu, they will surely die on the battlefield.

However, the only thing to do now is to improve the strength of the Yu generals as quickly as possible.

Only in this way can we achieve a balance with those exceptional talents.

However, there's nothing to fear for the time being. If anyone rebels, they will be immediately suppressed by the Qi Yun and become an official of Da Yu. Although there are benefits, such as increasing one's strength under the influence of Da Yu's Qi Yun.

However, it is also subject to the supervision of fate.

Then, Lu Ming slowly returned to his seat.

The banquet didn't end until midnight.

As soon as he entered the palace, Li Xirou came to greet him.

Seeing the long-lost beauty, Lu Ming was about to step forward when the other party said, "I have selected two women for you. They have both agreed to enter the harem and become your imperial concubines. Tomorrow, I will prepare to present betrothal gifts and welcome them into the palace."

One is Mo Ling, whom you know. The other is the eldest daughter of the Tianyin Ancient Clan, named Yin Yue. She is also very beautiful, and most importantly, she is quite strong, a peak Saint King, and the legitimate daughter of the clan.

Such a woman might be of help to our Great Yu in the future. What do you think?

"Have you investigated this person named Yin Yue?" Lu Ming asked, frowning.

"Can we not investigate? Besides, everyone who can come to the Hall of Heroes today has undergone vetting, so you can rest assured," Li Xirou said softly.

Clearly, they were worried that Lu Ming wouldn't agree.

Upon hearing her say that, the other party could only nod and say, "Then that's settled, you can make the arrangements!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a smile appeared on Li Xirou's face.

He immediately replied, "Alright, I'll have preparations made right away, and they can enter the palace tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly went outside the palace.

She was as if she was afraid Lu Ming would change his mind.
