It took Luo Zhen fifty days to finally get the recognition of nearly 100,000 monsters in the city.

Although it takes a little longer, the rewards are also very large.

Not to mention anything else, at least these monsters in the city completely gave up on Xiong Shanxiong He, and at the same time they followed Luo Zhen wholeheartedly and accepted his dispatch.

The same is true for many guards in the City Lord’s Mansion.

After accepting congratulations from all the forces in the city, Luo Zhen moved to the city lord's mansion.

He was greeted by a demon general at the peak of the Demon Pill Realm. This gerbil was not only the butler of the City Lord's Mansion, but also the assistant of Xiong Shan Xiong He, and the capable general of Xiong Shan brothers.

Unfortunately, after seeing something happening in Xiongshan Xionghe, the gerbil immediately turned around and welcomed Luo Zhen into the city lord's mansion.

Luo Zhen was not dissatisfied with this.

In the cultivation world, especially in the monster world, there are too many guys like gerbils who change their minds when they see the wind, and Luo Zhen has long been used to it.

Being knowledgeable causes psychological numbness is one reason, while distrust of gerbil is another reason.

How could Luo Zhen trust a monster like a gerbil who changes his master at will and replaces his master at will!

Luo Zhen has occupied a lot of territory along the way and accepted many monsters who surrendered to him, but Luo Zhen never took them in his heart.

Those monsters were not very loyal to Luo Zhen, and Luo Zhen just used them to drive them to do their own things.

In Luo Zhen's heart, he only trusted Abao in the Hei Shui Lake. In fact, only Abao was loyal to him and was determined.

After returning to the present, the Gerry Demon General respectfully welcomed Luo Zhen to the city lord's mansion, and then began to take the initiative to introduce the situation in the city to Luo Zhen.

Including the distribution of major forces in the city, the transaction situation of the underground black market, and the power wealth owned by the Xiongshan brothers, the Gerry Demon General said it carefully.

This statement took half an hour to say.

Half an hour later, the Gerry Demon General finally introduced everything to Luo Zhen, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, thank you for your hard work," Luo Zhen nodded slightly, "Go down, there is nothing to do with you here."

"Yes, I will take my leave now." The Gerry Demon General quickly stood up and then retreated respectfully.

When he retreated to the door, the gerbil suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Lord, I have another thing I forgot to tell you."

"What's up?"

"According to the rules of the Red Desert, once a city is replaced, it will be necessary to inform other cities," said the Gerry Demon General, "Our Red Rock City is also a big city. Do you think you want to notify other cities?"

"I want to notify them and tell them that the city lord is Luo Zhen," Luo Zhen waved his hand indifferently and said, "I will leave this matter to you."

"Thank you for your appreciation. The young man must do his best to get things done and spread your power throughout the Red Desert!" The gerbil first flattered him, and then hesitated.

"City Lord, the city ranking race is about to start, look..."

Luo Zhen said lightly, "You don't have to worry about the city ranking competition, I know this."

"The city lord is indeed far-sighted. It's because my subordinates are too talkative, so I'll step back now." The gerbil retreated respectfully.

After the gerbil exited, Luo Zhen was the only one left in the empty hall.

‘Dadadada...’ Luo Zhen slapped the table with his fingers and fell into thinking.

Gerry just introduced the city ranking competition to him in detail. Specifically, it is a competition specially set up by major cities in the Red Desert to compete for resources.

The ranking competition is held once a year, and each city will determine the resource allocation for the next year based on the ranking of the competition.

There are many types of resources allocated, such as the division of territory, the amount of taxes, commercial accommodation, etc., including many things.

The resource allocation of every matter is related to whether the city continues to flourish.

The ones participating in the competition are the lords of major cities.

In the previous ranking competition, the two brothers Xiongshan and Xionghe participated. Now the two black bears are dead, and Hongyan City is controlled by Luo Zhen, so the participation of the competition naturally falls on Luo Zhen's head.

And now, there are less than half a month left before the city ranking competition.

Luo Zhen has to upgrade as soon as possible.

"Come here," Luo Zhen shouted to the door, "Go and bring me all the high-end medicinal materials and elixirs accumulated by the City Lord's Mansion, especially the elixirs of fifth grade and above, which are mainly used in this city!"

"Yes!" The guard standing at the door replied, and then ran away with Luo Zhen's order.

After an hour,

Some medicinal materials and elixirs containing the strong aroma of medicine were delivered to Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen glanced at him and found that although the amount of these medicinal herbs and elixirs was not large, they were all rare things.

He is only less than 500,000 experience points away from upgrading. Although there are not many spiritual medicines and elixirs in front of him, they are completely enough for him to use.

After repelling, Luo Zhen closed the door of the hall and began to devour the spiritual medicine and elixirs.

"You swallowed a top-quality spiritual black bone flower and gained 250,000 experience points!"

"You swallowed a fifth-grade spiritual pill and a hundred-turn pill, and you gained 260,000 experience points!"

"You swallowed a sixth-grade spiritual pill to Yuan Pill and gained 310,000 experience points!"

"You swallowed one..."

Luo Zhen swallowed all the spiritual medicine and pills in front of him in one breath, and then he burped with satisfaction.

After a while, the system prompted the sound.

"Host, your experience value has reached the critical point. Have you upgraded?"

"yes!"

"The experience value has been deducted and is being upgraded..."

As soon as the system finished speaking, the vitality between heaven and earth suddenly fluctuated.

In the sky above the city lord's mansion, the originally clear sky became dark in an instant, and dark clouds gathered heavily, condensed with thunder and lightning.

"Click!"

A blue lightning as thick as a wrist fell from the sky and slammed into Luo Zhen’s place!

"Boom boom boom!"

The hall where Luo Zhen was located was directly shattered, and Luo Zhen himself was also flooded by the dazzling blue lightning.

"It's the thunder tribulation! It's the thunder tribulation that only those who are strong in the Demon King Realm have!" The guards of the City Lord's Mansion shouted immediately when they saw the lightning strike.

"Our City Lord Luo is in the hall, and the thunder tribulation is aimed at City Lord Luo!"

"Isn't this nonsense? The only city lord in the entire Hongyan City is the Demon King Realm. Who else can the thunder tribulation attack him?"

"Wait, the thunder tribulation will only occur when it breaks through the realm. This means that our city lord is trying to break through?"

"It must be so, otherwise the thunder tribulation would not be struck out of thin air. I hope the city lord can survive it smoothly!"

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion were talking around and also hiding far away, fearing that they would be affected by lightning.

Luo Zhen, who was flooded by the lightning, had all his strength to run the Qingyu Spirit Body.

After seven or eight breaths, the thunder tribulation dissipated, and a young man with green light shining all over the ruins of the hall was broken.

The young man has a slender figure and no injuries on his body. He even feels a little holy under the illumination of the green light.

There was also a layer of earthy yellow energy robe on the periphery of the green light, which was automatically opened by the Beast King Armor. As soon as he found that Luo Zhen was struck by lightning, the Beast King Armor automatically opened the Beast King Domineering Clothes.

However, Luo Zhen’s black robe was shattered by the thunder tribulation.

Luo Zhen touched the black gold ring and took out a set of black clothes from it. As soon as he put it on, the system sounded.

"The host successfully survived the thunder tribulation!"

"Congratulations to the host, you have been promoted to the middle stage of the Demon King Realm!"

Starting from the Demon King Realm, whether a cultivator is a monster or a human, he will have to overcome the thunder tribulation every time he breaks through the realm.

If you cross over, your strength will become stronger and stronger. If you can’t cross over, you will die and disappear!

After the system prompted that the upgrade was successful, a dazzling cloud of light suddenly burst out from Luo Zhen's appearance, with extremely rich light covering a range of 100 meters.

At the same time, Luo Zhen's demonic power was equally twice as powerful as before.

"The most exciting time every time is when you upgrade, the feeling of becoming stronger is really touching!"

Luo Zhen waved his fist hard, then opened his attribute board.
