Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Confirmation
Editor: Larbre Studio
Lin Qian was taken aback by everything around him as Lei Qian stood speechless.
âWho is actually losing their composure here?â
âSenior Brother Liu, what should we do now?â
âPerhaps we should concede for now, as their numbers overwhelm us.â
Behind Liu Ming, the disciples of the Inner Sect gathered around, offering their advice.
The heavy-armored spearmen surrounded the entire platform number thirty-six, and the two squads of heavy-armored soldiers behind Lin Qian truly gave them an immense sense of pressure.
âThereâs no need to panic, Iâve seen such trivial tricks many times before,â said Lei Kuo from a distance, suddenly speaking loudly.
As soon as he spoke, Lei Kuo attracted everyoneâs attention, including Lin Qian, who crossed his arms and watched him mockingly.
He indeed wanted to see what Lei Kuo had to say.
âThe reason they wear such heavy armor is precisely because these soldiersâ true identity is actually that of the Outer Sect disciples.â
âThe heavy armor is merely a soul device that simulates the aura of the Ninth Level of the Nirvana Realm!â
Lei Kuoâs words made everyone present suddenly realize, whispering and murmuring to each other.
âLetâs think about it: our Wanxiang Sect has a total of no more than six thousand Inner Sect disciples at the Nirvana Realm, with only three hundred at the Ninth Level.â
âWhy would the likes of Lin Qian, what virtue or ability does he have, to have three thousand Ninth Level Nirvana Realm warriors call him Your Majesty? How could these three thousand suddenly appear at the Wanxiang Sect!â
Lei Kuoâs words made Lei Qian doubtful as he looked toward Lin Qian.
After all, gathering three thousand Ninth Level Nirvana Realm Soul Martial Artists, even for the strongest Shengtian Sect in Coastal State, would require assembling all the Soul Martial Artists from all the cities under its jurisdiction to reach such numbers.
âI have to say, Lin Qianâs strategy wasnât bad. If Lei Kuo hadnât figured it out, Liu Ming and the others would have probably conceded.â
âItâs true; earlier, the disciples behind Liu Ming already showed signs of fear, contemplating retreat.â
âThough this Lin Qian is truly interesting, actually having those Outer Sect disciples call him Your Majesty.â
âHe probably fancied being called the Young Emperor, genuinely wanting to be an emperor, hahaha.â
The discussions among the disciples crowded around made Bai Ren and others shake their heads secretly.
Outer Sect disciples in disguise?
The heavy armor was merely a soul device simulating the aura?
Impossible!
It was back in Bashan City where precisely such heavily armored soldiers descended like divine troops, slaughtering the Great Spear Sect disciples and rescuing everyone.
Especially that general clad in black dragon silver armor, whose strength was terrifying.
Though Bai Ren and the others didnât know why these soldiersâ strength now reached the Ninth Level of the Nirvana Realm,
They were sure these soldiers were definitely not some Outer Sect disciples in disguise.
âWhatâs the matter, Lin Qian, nothing to say?â At this moment, Lei Kuo pointed provocatively at Lin Qian on the platform and sneered, âIâd like to see how long you can keep this up.â
âAlright, thinking my soldiers are fake? No worries, youâll find out once the written test begins at noon,â Lin Qian said indifferently.
âStill pretending, Lin Qian, I advise you to surrender early, give the spot obediently to Senior Brother Liu, and return to accompany your master, whose days are numbered.â
âWhat if the competition starts, you get beaten up badly, and you return to find out your master has already died, unable to see him one last time, wouldnât it be doubly tragic, hahaha!â
Lei Kuoâs words made Lin Qianâs face turn icy again.
His master Wei Wushuang had just returned to Coastal State, coinciding with the Wanxiang Sectâs deadly battle against the Shengtian Sect.
At that time, the Wanxiang Sectâs situation was dire.
Had it not been for Wei Wushuangâs strong return, overturning the tide, the Wanxiang Sect would have been long gone, and Lei Kuo would have had no say by now?
Now, with Wei Wushuangâs condition dire, poison into his bones, seeing him flaunt with no restraint to mock with words.
Fortunately, after Lin Qian left the Wanxiang Sect, the Huaxia Empire completed its repairs, saving Wei Wushuang.
Despite this, Lin Qian could not tolerate anyone joking about this!
Gradually, it was approaching noon; more and more disciples gathered around platform thirty-six.
Then a middle-aged man draped in a black cloak, with a white âWanâ character written on the back, walked up to platform thirty-six.
The middle-aged man was only at the Ninth Level of Nirvana Realm, an administrative elder.
Any Wanxiang Sect disciple with limited aptitude unable to break through from the Nirvana Realm to the Sky Breaking Realm had two choices.
One was to stay in the sect and help with its affairs, known as an administrative elder.
The other was to leave the Wanxiang Sect and fill positions in the cities or hometowns under its jurisdiction.
Obviously, this administrative elder was the former.
He had come to witness the competition between Liu Ming and Lin Qian over the Middle Agesâ remains spot.
After witnessing victory or defeat, he would report to Qin Wushuang personally responsible for the Middle Agesâ remains.
When he arrived at the platform, he also showed confusion seeing so many well-equipped soldiers.
After the administrative elder arrived, Lei Kuo laughed loudly again, âThe competition is about to begin, Lin Qian, this is your last chance to regret.â
âBoss!â At this moment, Lei Qian turned to look at Lin Qian.
Evidently, he believed Lei Kuoâs words somewhat.
After all, three thousand Nirvana Realm Soul Martial Artists, how could Lin Qian gather so many people?
Yet Lin Qian remained silent, only coldly staring at Lei Kuo across, letting time pass, waiting for the competition to start.
Gradually, the spectators felt something was amiss.
If indeed, as Lei Kuo said, the heavily armored soldiers on the platform were Outer Sect disciples pretending with soul devices that emitted aura,
Lin Qian should now be very anxious with the competition imminent.
Yet Lin Qian on the platform looked calm, without a drop of sweat.
âCould these soldiers Lin Qian brought really be real?â Liu Ming looked at the sky and suddenly voiced his concern.
Lei Kuo snorted disdainfully beside him, saying, âIs it possible? Three thousand Ninth Level Nirvana Realm Soul Martial Artists, where would Lin Qian get them even if heâs capable?â
âHeâs just pretending to calm down so that weâd give up first out of frustration. If you donât believe it, wait until the administrative elder asks for our final confirmation of the competition, see if he agrees?â
Seeing Lei Kuo say this, Liu Ming found it quite reasonable.
Then, the administrative elder at the platform center first looked toward Liu Ming and Lei Kuo: âLiu Ming, have you prepared, confirming participation in this competition?â
âConfirmed!â Liu Ming replied loudly, glancing across.
Lei Kuo smirked, staring at Lin Qian across, saying to Liu Ming, âJust watch, that kid will definitely back down at this time, three thousand Ninth Level Nirvana Realm warriors? Whoâs he kidding!â
âLin Qian, have you prepared, confirming participation in this competition?â
Amidst everyoneâs sight, Lin Qian coldly laughed, staring at Lei Kuo who looked provocatively at him, âConfirmed!â
