Chapter 747: Chapter 748: Who Passed?

Excited roars resonated from the robust man’s mouth, the domineering intent bursting forth, startling the soul beasts in the surrounding forest.

The weaker ones trembled, daring not to move from their spots.

The slightly stronger ones scattered in fear, fleeing the scene.

Wind Owl stood in place, watching his master charging forward, his face revealing a helpless expression, “Master is always like this, once he locks onto his prey, he gets overly excited. It can’t be helped, it’s the instinct of the Fierce Hunting Clan.”

Whoosh!

In that moment, Wind Owl’s expression suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly dodged to the side.

However, while he dodged the sharp blade, he was fiercely struck by the shaft of the Sky Piercer halberd.

With a loud slam, his entire body was blasted sideways, crashing through more than ten spirit trees before he could steady himself.

“Pugh!”

Wind Owl clutched his abdomen, a mouthful of emerald-green blood violently spurted out, sprinkling onto the ground. The blood, swirling with a breeze, stirred up the fragments of wood and torn leaves on the ground, a marvel of nature.

“This world is truly filled with wonders, possessing such a magical clan whose blood can even summon the wind.”

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Wind Owl breathed heavily, glaring at the domineering man dressed in dark red heavy armor, “Who are you?”

“I am Lv Bu, the Legion Commander of the Red Rabbit Army from the Huaxia Empire, having learned my name is your honor. Understand, foreigner!” Holding the Sky Piercer halberd, Lv Bu looked arrogantly at Wind Owl.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

At the same time, under Wind Owl’s terrified gaze, large groups of cavalry riding chestnut-red warhorses suddenly charged out of the dense forest around him, like red whirlwinds rushing in different directions.

This scene plunged Wind Owl into despair.

“Why… have you already finished gathering?” he exclaimed incredulously, “It’s only been an hour, how could you possibly have gathered already?”

Wind Owl’s cries of disbelief made Lv Bu speak dismissively and proudly, “His Majesty’s prowess is unmatched under heaven and earth, something you could never comprehend.”

“Just accept your death!” Saying this, Lv Bu lifted his Sky Piercer halberd and charged forward.

His movement erupted like a volcano, carrying an unmatched domineering force, swinging the halberd through the air.

Wind Owl was terror-stricken by the overwhelming aura exuding from his opponent, realizing the opponent’s strength was far beyond his own capability.

“Run!” In an instant, Wind Owl reacted, turning around to flee at full speed, his innate talent maximized. The winds of heaven and earth swirled around his body, propelling him forward rapidly.

He aimed not only to escape but also to urgently inform his master of the situation.

The cavalry that had previously charged forward, he could see, were actually surrounding his master.

“We’ve been duped!” Wind Owl realized they had fallen into Lin Qian’s trap.

Lin Qian had probably noticed them long ago, deliberately luring them here while secretly hiding his followers. Once they took the bait, he closed in and surrounded them!

“What a cunning ploy, this Human Clan indeed poses an unstable element,” Wind Owl thought as he originally surged forward, then suddenly stumbled, propelled forward by a massive force.

Hiss!

Following that, the wind owl was directly nailed onto a robust Spirit Wood.

And on his body, a red arrow had penetrated his torso, with chains formed by the condensed Soul Energy on the arrow, which locked onto his back as it went through his torso, preventing the arrow, due to its immense force, from flying out.

Instead, it took his body and nailed it to this Spirit Wood.

At the same time, from a distance, Lv Bu also put down his red hard bow with a mocking look on his face, “Did you think that just because you can run fast, you could escape? Although my archery skills are not the top in the Empire, they’re more than enough to deal with someone of your insignificant level.”

When Lv Bu put away the hard bow and approached the wind owl to interrogate him for intelligence,

he suddenly noticed a burst of light from an Array glowing on the other’s body.

Hum!

A humming sound arose, and to Lv Bu’s surprise, the wind owl before him was enveloped by the force of the Array and disappeared from the spot.

“Hmm?” Observing the bloodstains left on the tree trunk, Lv Bu’s face was filled with skepticism, not understanding what exactly had happened.

After thinking carefully, Lv Bu realized, “He didn’t die but was moved from this place. Could it be that this person is also a Trialist?”

“I didn’t expect it, but resolving one Trialist so quickly counts as a merit for His Majesty.” Lv Bu was very satisfied with the outcome.

This time, Lin Qian had chosen him to take action, leading the Red Rabbit Army to assist in this trial, making Lv Bu feel deeply honored and determined to make good use of this opportunity.

At this moment, within the palace observing the trial, many from the Sea Spiral Holy Institute were astonished by Lv Bu’s display of strength.

“This follower’s talent seems extraordinary, and he appears very young too. Let’s find out his age,” the elder and the middle-aged man, closely monitoring the performances of Lin Qian and his followers, were continuously amazed watching Lv Bu.

Such a long distance to hit a moving target from the Wind Three Swift Clan with an arrow speaks volumes.

“His aura is unstable, hard to probe, but his age seems to be exactly the same as Lin Qian’s—fifty years old!” After investigating, the middle-aged man was astonished and began to probe the other members of the Red Rabbit Army.

The final result was very unexpected for him: “The other followers are all the same age too, how can this be so coincidental?”

“The same age, could it be that this follower named Lv Bu, along with those in the Red Rabbit Army, were all born in the same year as their Emperor Lin Qian?”

The elder also found the results surprising and speculated, “It might be possible; it could be Lin Qian’s personal interest to find followers specifically born in the same year as himself…”

“Wait!” At this moment, the elder suddenly came to his senses.

Typically, the followers of Trialists are less talented than the Trialists themselves, and it took many years for them to reach their current Realm.

But Lin Qian’s followers were the same age as him, yet their Realms were two to three levels higher. Could it mean that the talent of his followers was on par with the top-tier Trialists?

Thinking this, the elder’s hands couldn’t help but tremble: “What kind of power has this Huaxia Empire emerged from?”

“According to the records, it claims to be an ancient Empire with a legacy of five hundred billion years…”

“What utter bullshit!”
