The Peerless Emperor

"Even though this member of the Human Clan is using the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan's quota to participate, it seems they have a deep connection. Even if they've allied with the strength of the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan, breaking through their alliance is extremely difficult," the middle-aged man said as he looked at the dense array of images before him, his gaze fixed on those alliances occupying the top ranks, "And they are by no means easy to deal with."

"Before this man named Lin Qian appeared, one of the forces had been maintaining the best record and should not be underestimated."

"Moreover, when they achieved that strong record, they didn't have the eerily clever means of this young man known as Lin Qian."

Since these were people participating in the Sea Spiral Holy Institute's trials, their names and backgrounds were naturally known to the personnel overseeing the trials, who only needed to check to be informed about Lin Qian and the rest.

Having heard the middle-aged man's words, the elder chuckled lightly, "It seems you have quite the high opinion of the Overlord Alliance."

"That's correct, although in the future, this man Lin Qian has enormous potential and is the most likely hope. But among the various forces in the Overlord Alliance, the foundations are deep after all. The possibility of defeating them in these trials is slim to none," the middle-aged man spoke with an extremely calm tone, analyzing, "After all, Lin Qian seems to be fighting a lone battle, and most of the forces allied with the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan are not very powerful."

"Rather than calling it an alliance, it's more appropriate to say that these forces are relying on the power of the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan, and the help they can offer is limited."

"And this Ye Xin and Ye Nanxin, their followers are clearly provided by this man called Lin Qian. According to intelligence, he has his own force, named the Huaxia Empire, and he himself claims to be the Emperor."

"That is to say, Lin Qian's strength consists of his own Huaxia Empire and the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan. While the Overlord Alliance is an alliance of the heirs to the top ten forces of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute."

"To break through their defenses is exceedingly difficult."

The middle-aged man's analysis was organized and logical, causing others present to nod in agreement, deeming it very reasonable.

Indeed, Lin Qian's heritage was insufficient.

The Overlord Alliance was the dictator of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute's trials.

At least within these trials, there was no way to compare.

"But in this old man's view, who knows? Perhaps they will win?" On the other hand, the elder suddenly chuckled, looking at the content on the screen, "Miracles always happen."

"Let's wait and see," the middle-aged man said while looking at the screen, slowly speaking, "If a miracle indeed happens, that would be more than we could ask for."

In the Trial Land, after the assembly was complete, Lv Bu knelt on one knee before Lin Qian, "Your Majesty, what are your commands now?"

After surveying the surroundings, Lin Qian pondered for a moment, "First, to pass the trial, we must still be alive here in the Trial Land three years later, not eliminated."

"At the same time, we also need enough seals, with a ranking within the top hundred thousand."

"Even if we are still alive in this Trial Land after three years, but possess a number of seals beyond the hundred thousand rank, we will still be eliminated."

"The existence of this rule prevents us from hunkering down in one place and quietly waiting out the three years. To safely enter the Saint Institute, we must fight with others and snatch their seals."

Lin Qian said this and paused before adding, "The goal is clear, battle!"

"Qianer, you have such an ability to pull us to your side directly. Others likely don't have this capability, so their teams certainly haven't finished assembling."

"In a sense, our strength in the Trial Land should now be the strongest," Ye Nanxin spoke from the side, looking around with a somewhat excited tone.

Ye Xin also nodded in agreement with his own father's words, "No matter how strong the others are, at least for now, our strength is definitely the greatest."

Lin Qian agreed and casually glanced in one direction, "Indeed, right now, we can sweep through the entire Trial Land. We must achieve the greatest victory during this time and cannot afford to waste it."

"A good start is half the success."

After understanding the current situation, Lin Qian turned around, looked at Lv Bu, and waved his hand to command, "Hide our traces, stealthily follow behind me, and when I give the order, then come out and fight, understand?"

Lv Bu nodded respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

With the order given, Lv Bu stood up, curious to ask Lin Qian, "Your Majesty, with our overwhelming strength, we could charge straight in without fear of opposition, why bother hiding our traces?"

"Indeed, but if others see that we have already assembled everyone, wouldn't they turn and run from afar? Not to mention the waste of time, there's no guarantee we'd be able to catch up with them."

"The battles to come must not be impulsive; when we strike, it must be like lightning, annihilating the enemy in one blow. Once word gets out, if we're guarded against, it will be to our disadvantage."

As Lin Qian explained, Lv Bu immediately realized his oversight, "This subordinate was negligent."

Lin Qian understood as well; for individuals like Lv Bu, their memories from previous lives were from events that had taken place in games.

In the games of the past lives, most wars started directly upon encounter; running away was nearly impossible, as there was no concept of flight during combat modes.

Thus, Lv Bu's train of thought contained such a lapse.

With the action begun, Lin Qian, together with Ye Xin and Ye Nanxin, moved ahead in low flight, traveling forward.

Behind them, Lv Bu, waving the temporarily forged, illusionary Fangtian Halberd in his hand, whipped up a crimson windstorm, completely enveloping the Red Rabbit Army and himself within it, his form gradually fading away, nearly disappearing completely in the end.

However, there remained a faint trace of red.

And the ground they trod upon bore marks, the branches and leaves they touched would sway, but with their utmost caution, their disturbances were very slight and hard to detect.

On the route forward, the underbrush below suddenly stirred, and a rigid-armored black python, tongue flashing red, burst out, charging towards Lin Qian and his party.

The three of them reacted instantly; Ye Nanxin was the first to act, his body igniting into flames, as a red inferno burned fiercely, forming a Fire Tiger that roared towards the black python, engulfing it with a gaping jaw.

In an instant, the savory scent of roasted meat filled the air, as the First Level Qi Refining Realm fierce Soul Beast perished on the spot.

"Father-in-law's strength has improved once again," Lin Qian said with a smile at the scene, "Impressive!"

Ye Nanxin contained his Soul Energy with an awkward expression, "Qianer, don't mock your father-in-law; what was that supposed to prove?"

At this, Lin Qian glanced subtly in a direction, where a leaf on a Spirit Wood trembled ever so slightly, hardly noticeable, yet keenly sensed by him.
