Gaining Xia Qingyi was a pleasant surprise. Although he didn't know what changes she could bring to the entire territory, it at least gave Ye Chen some positive thoughts.
After lunch, the recruitment continued. By the end of the afternoon, Ye Chen and his team had only recruited two people, one of whom was Xia Qingyi, whom they had recruited that morning.
Unfortunately, signing only a lifetime agreement is unacceptable to many newly awakened individuals. Fresh out of school, they prefer to see the wider world rather than be confined to a territory with an uncertain future.
Besides Xia Qingyi, the other person was a handsome and quiet boy who looked very scholarly. His strength was not very strong, only at the mid-stage of the first rank. The reason Ye Chen was watching him was also because of his talent.
The power of his vocal techniques and spells can be enhanced by his captivating music. Therefore, after entering the Awakener University in Chang'an, he has been majoring in vocal music, hoping to hone his talent through music and gain sufficient combat strength.
Fortunately, the results were quite remarkable. Although not as outstanding as other awakened individuals, their combat strength in the school was considered above average. However, they needed the assistance of teammates, and their direct combat strength was still somewhat inferior when relying on themselves alone.
However, what Ye Chen valued in him was not his combat ability, but his talent for enchanting sounds, which could enhance the power of vocal techniques. This was not just about offensive capabilities, but more importantly, the infectiousness of his voice.
In fact, Ye Chen had already sensed it during the interview: the other person's voice was very magnetic and made people very willing to listen.
Using such abilities solely for combat would be a waste, so Ye Chen recruited him back, intending to have him work in education and development, and properly establish the schools for the otherworldly races he had recruited.
For this reason, Ye Chen even specially ordered a batch of educational and financial books, intending to have the two of them study them carefully after returning to the territory.
As for a one-year probationary period, are you kidding? We're about to enter the Caverns of Time, let's talk about it in thirty years.
"You two are the same. After you've settled in at school and home, come find me at the Emperor's Mansion Hotel. You know where it is, right? But you won't be staying for too long, try to do it within a week!" After packing his things, Ye Chen felt that today's recruitment was almost over, and then said to the two of them.
"Okay! We'll take care of it as soon as possible and then come to the hotel to find you!" The two nodded and followed Ye Chen and the others toward the outside of the conference room. Just then, they saw that the door to the conference room opposite had also opened, and a group of people were walking out of it one after another.
"You can go back and pack your things. We'll be leaving in a week. If you don't come back in time, it will be considered as giving up!" The leader said arrogantly to the people around him.
They also saw Ye Chen and the others walking out of the conference room. When they saw Jian Mengyi, the other lord who hadn't spoken immediately lit up and pushed his way towards them.
"Mengyi! Are you recruiting here too? Why didn't you tell us? I've hired quite a few people. Do you want to see if there are any you can use?" Ignoring Ye Chen and the others beside him, he asked Jian Mengyi with a look of surprise.
"Who are you? Can't you see there are people around?" Ye Chen frowned slightly. The fat man had already shouted, "Openly flirting with my buddy's girlfriend? Are you looking for death?"
Upon hearing the fat man's words, the newcomer frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure and disgust flashing across his face.
"Mengyi? Is this your newly recruited Awakener? Her manners are terrible. She dares to yell at the lord. You should just tell her to quit!" Before he could finish speaking, a hand with distinct knuckles grabbed his neck and pulled him in front of Ye Chen.
"You dare call her Mengyi? She's taken, understand?" Ye Chen said, his voice cold and deliberate, as he spoke close to the other's terrified face.
"Who are you? Do you know his identity? Why don't you put him down right now?" Before the other party could reply, another lord in the distance shouted and walked over, ordering Ye Chen to put the person down. Many newly recruited awakened individuals followed behind him, making a great show of force.
"What kind of status could they have? They're just a bunch of new lords, what are you afraid of?" the fat man shouted sternly. He might be afraid of other people, but he had never been afraid of any of the new lords.
"How dare you! We are from the Celestial God Group. Who are you? How dare you make a move on Blue Star?" The other party was not intimidated by the fat man at all, and instead roared angrily.
"Make a move? Do you believe I'll crush him right here?" Ye Chen said coldly. At this moment, Jian Mengyi, who was standing next to him, also came to her senses and walked to Ye Chen's side, taking his arm.
"The Du brothers, Du Yulong and Du Yuhu, are both Heavenly Pride Lords. Their initial clans were both top-tier Holy Tigers of Light. After coming out of the Trial Space, they joined the Heavenly God Group. Their elders and my father's family have some connections, but that's all!" Jian Mengyi whispered to Ye Chen, saying that she had some connections, but she was also telling Ye Chen that it was just a little and that he didn't need to worry about it affecting her.
"Tian Shen Group? Ha! A bunch of trash, get lost!" Hearing Jian Mengyi's words, Ye Chen sneered and threw the person he was holding with one hand directly at the other party.
"You!" *Bang!*
Before he could finish speaking, the person in his hand was already smashed over like a human cannonball. The terrifying force caused many awakened individuals to scatter, while Du Yulong was directly hit by his own brother and crashed into the wall behind him.
"Boom!" The entire wall collapsed under the impact of this force, revealing the astonished expressions of passersby outside.
Du Yuhu, who had been held captive, immediately lost consciousness, while Du Yulong, covered in blood and with a dazed look in his eyes, raised his right hand and pointed at Ye Chen.
"You! You! You're not! A newcomer!" Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed and fell into a coma.
"Hmph!" Ye Chen snorted coldly, glanced indifferently at the teachers from the Admissions and Employment Office who had just arrived, and then turned and left with Jian Mengyi and the others.
From the moment he became a formal lord, he had already become a third-tier lord, and his own strength had also reached the third tier along with the territory.
Now that we've returned to Earth, although we can't use many supernatural methods, our sheer physical strength is enough to crush these new lords who are only at the first level.
However, due to the rules of Blue Star and the protection of lords, he could not actually kill the other party. But no one could say anything about teaching them a lesson like this, since they were asking for death by harassing someone else's girlfriend.
