Chapter 580 - 349: The Demand for Talent._2
Li Ming’s gaze tracked all these changes. As he had done after merging with the previous divine beasts and their destinies, he first updated Qinglong on the situation here, then immediately sent word to the managers in charge here, informing them how to deal with the newly emerged divine beast.
Then, he transformed into a streak of light, his expression strange, as he headed toward the Tianmen Mountains in the west.
————Whale Dragon, another divine beast has been found!
White Tiger!
"White Tiger symbolizes slaughter. If we could secure the White Tiger divine beast to preside over the channel currently being opened between the eastern and western continents, the pressure on the vanguard forces that will spearhead future expansions would be greatly alleviated."
Li Ming’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Not only that, his own Five Elements Metal would also break through to the peak of the eighth evolution, and with the power of the divine beast fused and stabilized, he would be able to give birth to the most powerful divine abilities.
Thus, another transformation in strength would surely follow after subduing the White Tiger.
In addition, with the Five Elements divine beasts stationed for defense, the pressure on inland defenses would also be significantly relieved.
The ability users who have evolved five times cannot be used, but elites like the twenty-four youths could be transferred to the fortress development, where they could bring their greatest value to bear.
Thus, when a new batch of forty-eight youths begins their training a year from now, they could also replenish the manpower of the inland base-cities and receive ample training.
Just imagine, with the addition of twenty-four youths, how much safer the westward expansion could become.
"It’s estimated we need a thousand fortresses. Currently, we don’t have enough elite forces, and we must continue to cultivate more."
