Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

"My lord!" Aurelius abruptly stood up from his seat when he saw Fredrinn entering the spirit root testing area.

Fredrinn waved his hand. "Sit down. I came here to test my friend here." He pointed at Thurman who was behind him.

Aurelius turned his head at the person behind Fredrinn. The guy was tall and muscular. His cultivation was also above the standard of those who came to take part in the tests. Since he was someone recommended by Fredrinn, he believed that this person should have some talent.

Thinking about this, Aurelius nodded. "What's your name?"

Fredrinn nodded at Thurman.

"My name is Thurman Wadlow, sir!"

"Thurman, is it? Come here and place your hand on the testing orb." Aurelius remembered his name. They might become colleagues soon so there was no need to make things hard for him.

"Yes, sir!" Thurman nervously reached out to the orb. He hadn't tested his spirit root yet since his family didn't have a spirit root testing device. Furthermore, it was also quite expensive to have himself tested so he had no idea what kind of spirit root he possessed.

The applicants who came to be tested curiously watched the orb. They wondered what kind of spirit root he had for him to be personally brought in by Fredrinn.

Under everyone's surprised gazes, the orb emitted an orange glow.

"High-grade spirit root!"

"He has a high-grade spirit root!"

The applicants exclaimed at the result. In Red Sun City, there were only less than a hundred people who had high-grade spirit roots. They were talented individuals who had a high chance of advancing to the Core Formation realm. They even had some chance to reach the Nascent Soul realm!

Thurman was also excited. He didn't that he had a high-grade spirit root. All this time, he thought that it was only intermediate-grade at best.

"Good! I wasn't wrong about you." Fredrinn grinned as he patted Thurman's shoulder.

"Thank you, my lord! I was just lucky!"

Fredrinn chuckled at his words. "Luck is part of your strength. Anyway, you should consider moving into the estate. Once you become one of us, you will have to stay here most of the time."

"Uhm, can I bring my mother with me?" He asked hesitantly.

"Of course! You can bring your family with you. You should go back home for now and tell them the good news. If you need anything, just find Aurelius. He will arrange everything for you."

"Thank you so much, my lord!" Thurman was happy that his family was allowed to move in with him. They had some issues with their living environment so moving into the Firecrown Supreme Household's estate was like a godsent opportunity.

Fredrinn gave him a few more words of encouragement before he left to observe the other testing areas.

They planned to take in more than 9000 martial practitioners to fill their army. Even though they were in a hurry to establish their army, Fredrinn suggested to his father to only take in those with potential and perseverance.

Once the household gathered 10000 soldiers, Fredrinn would select the best of them to join his guards unit and form his elite force!

Another month went by in the blink of an eye. The Firecrown Household had finally gathered a total of ten thousand soldiers!

Fredrinn received a notification as soon as the last spot was taken. He immediately used the Level Up Card and the Ice Affinity Upgrade Card on himself.

He had finally stepped into the peak of the Core Formation realm! Just one more step and he would be a true Nascent Soul martial practitioner!

After taking a look at his profile, Fredrinn grabbed the Legendary Pet Selection Card.

After activating the card, a selection of magical beasts was displayed on the screen.

Millennium Turtle Sovereign [Legendary]

(Cultivation: Void Tempering 5th Phase)

Electro Wyvern [Legendary]

(Cultivation: Void Tempering 4th Phase)

Black-scaled Nightmare Dragon [Legendary]

(Cultivation: Void Tempering 6th Phase)

Two-headed Lava Golem [Legendary]

(Cultivation: Void Tempering 5th Phase)

Howling Hell Wolf [Legendary]

(Cultivation: Void Tempering 4th Phase)

Twelve-winged Forest Fairy [Legendary]

(Cultivation: Void Tempering 4th Phase)

Seeing the six choices, Fredrinn was stumped. Each magical beast had their advantages. For instance, the Twelve-winged Forest Fairy was a very mystical magical beast. It was believed to be extinct, but what's most interesting about this creature was its innate ability to nurture elixirs. It also had strong healing and buffing powers.

The only downside about this magical beast was its relatively weak combat power. Twelve-winged Forest Fairies were also gentle in nature so they didn't like to be involved in wars and disputes.

Another interesting magical beast was the Millennium Turtle Sovereign. Just like its name, it was a magical beast that could live for thousands of years! This creature had strong vitality and it also possessed a high affinity with water, making it an invincible creature in the ocean or environments with bodies of water.

Fredrinn carefully read the description of the magical beasts. He didn't dare choose lightly since these creatures were capable of trampling the kingdom!

Fredrinn rubbed his chin. 'The most powerful is the dragon, but taking care of it would exhaust our family's resources.' He wanted to choose a magical beast that could fight since there would soon be a war against the Blue Sky Kingdom. The top of his choice was the dragon, but it was bound to attract unwanted attention once it was exposed to the world.

As much as he wanted to choose it, he didn't have the strength to protect the beast if an unexpected situation came up.

"What a pity!" Fredrinn lamented his own weakness. If only he was strong enough, he wouldn't even hesitate to choose the dragon. However, he knew that it was not the best choice given his current situation. In the end, he could only reluctantly select the…
