Chapter 864: Chapter 865: Mutual Understanding

At the critical moment, Lin Qian successfully broke through, fending off the opponent’s attack and summoned the peak battle power of the Huaxia Empire.

The Huaxia Alliance apprentices, seeing Lin Qian summon his followers, felt a slight relief in their hearts. The opponent’s realm successfully broke through at a critical moment, preventing Lin Qian from being blasted away with a single strike.

However, they found that among this group of people, they only recognized three.

One was Lv Bu, whom they had seen many times, standing on Lin Qian’s left with a Fangtian Huaji in hand.

As for Lin Qian’s right side, there stood a general with black dragon armor, none other than the crazed bodyguard general Zhao Long from Green Star of old.

And then there was Zhuge Ming, with a feather fan and a silk kerchief, a demeanor as calm as if he knew all under the heavens.

As for the other five people, they didn’t recognize any of them, including a woman among them.

“So this is the world outside, quite interesting.”

“It’s been a long time since I got to stretch my muscles and fight for His Majesty. It’s exhilarating.”

In front of Lin Qian, these eight individuals started chatting among themselves, showing no tension from being in a battle at the Saint Institute.

Aside from Lin Qian, only Ye Xin, who was observing the battle in the room using an Identity Jade, knew the identities of these people.

The five in front of Lin Qian were the legion commanders.

That valiant female general with a longsword was the First Legion’s commander Hua Ling.

Standing beside her, the robust figure who knocked the Divine Stone Clan flying was Xu Meng, the commander of the Second Legion.

The skinny man moving like a night messenger was Ji Qing, the commander of the Third Legion.

The one with a battle blade that cleaved through the enemy’s assault with impressive force was Guan Yi, the commander of the Fourth Legion.

The one who pierced through with an arrow was Li Rong, the commander of the Fifth Legion.

Including Zhao Long, the commanders of the Six Great Armies of the Huaxia Empire, who once dominated the fantasy empire games, were now gathered. This was their first collective action in this world.

They represented the peak of the Six Major Soldier Types in the fantasy empire of old.

“I didn’t expect the Prime Minister to be so formidable.” Many in the Huaxia Alliance marveled at Zhuge Ming’s form.

They originally thought that the opposition’s battle strength might not be very strong, just skilled in arrays.

But earlier, when a Wood Realm Clan expert of the Overlord Hall attempted a Wood Realm Sealing, Zhuge Ming dispelled it with ease.

Meanwhile, the crowd outside the Saint Institute’s battlefield curiously looked towards Lin Qian, focusing on the eight followers beside him.

Because Lin Qian’s realm had broken through to the World Realm, his followers should theoretically be able to exert the peak battle power of Ninth Level Grotto Heaven.

With Heavenly Trace within Lin Qian, invisible power seeped out, influencing the puppet forms of those around him, quickly enhancing their strength and stabilizing it at the Ninth Level of World Realm.

As for Zhao Long, as a growing general, when Lin Qian’s realm broke through to the World Realm, Zhao Long’s strength rapidly surged to catch up.

No one originally had much faith in Lin Qian, believing he would definitely lose this battle.

Yet the current scene made them hesitant, realizing the situation might not be so simple.

Aside from Lin Qian’s peculiar state, just the aura exuded by his followers was extraordinary.

The earlier attack from the Overlord Hall was also fended off by these followers.

Even though the Overlord Hall thought Lin Qian couldn’t withstand it, launched a casual strike, an ordinary person couldn’t have easily blocked it.

In their minds, even if the followers successfully blocked the attack, they would be left reeling, their faces pale, struggling immensely.

However, in their eyes, the eight followers not only blocked the Overlord Hall’s assault but did so effortlessly and remained lighthearted and chatty, as if shrugging off the attack with ease.

“It seems Lin Qian’s followers are no ordinary individuals.”

“Perhaps this is why he accepted the Overlord Hall’s Saint Institute battle without altering the rules?”

“Hmph, even so, they are just followers. Can their battle strength be truly formidable, surpassing our Saint Institute apprentices? If there’s a realm gap, they might not be novices, but the nine from the Overlord Hall, all at Ninth Level Peak of Grotto Heaven, make it unlikely that these followers have the strength to win.”

“Life is full of surprises, not everything can be predicted.”

The apprentices in the Outer Institute continued to argue, sharing their diverse opinions.

But some still didn’t believe Lin Qian and his followers could win.

Meanwhile, on the Overlord Hall’s side, Sheng Li and others looked gloomily in Lin Qian’s direction.

Earlier, their attack wasn’t very fierce because Lin Qian was cultivating and breaking through, leading to their assault being blocked easily.

This made Lin Qian and his people stand out, leaving Sheng Li and his group feeling embarrassed.

“It seems your Huaxia Alliance has some tricks.” Sheng Li said to Lin Qian, “I hear that you are the alliance hierarch of the Huaxia Alliance?”

Lin Qian remained silent, his expression icy as he looked down upon Sheng Li and the others.

At the same time, Zhuge Ming waved his feather fan: “Rhetorical question, who else but His Majesty could be the Huaxia Alliance hierarch?”

“Prime Minister, His Majesty hasn’t spoken, your presumptuousness is inappropriate, isn’t it?” Zhao Long chimed in, displeased with Zhuge Ming.

Zhuge Ming showed no anger, gently waving his feather fan: “Commander Zhao, how can this person deserve His Majesty’s words, to make His Majesty speak up?”

“He’s not worth it for His Majesty to speak, it’s up to us, His subjects, to handle this, to avoid losing decorum.”

Seeing this, Zhao Long quickly bowed and apologized: “Prime Minister, your insight. This general was wrong.”

These two, singing in harmony, made the Huaxia Alliance members smile, many bursting into laughter.

Such humiliation was excessive.

But was it really excessive? From beginning to end, the Overlord Hall inexplicably targeted Lin Qian and others, merely perceiving them as a threat to their status.

Within the Saint Institute, competition is encouraged, and Saint Institute battles are held to contest and compete.

However, most senior apprentices rarely launch specific Saint Institute battles against new apprentices, nor do they seize their cultivation grounds, undermining their foundations.

The Overlord Hall was excessive; Lin Qian naturally wouldn’t hold back.

Lin Qian planned not only to defeat them but also to thoroughly make them doubt their existence.

Since they repeatedly harassed him, they’d have to bear the consequences.

“Lin Qian, don’t push things too far!” Sheng Li shouted, his face dark.

Lin Qian sneered, glancing at Zhuge Ming.

This time, Zhuge Ming interpreted the signal: “His Majesty means you’re not even worth insulting.”
