The Peerless Emperor

At that moment, Kuang Zhan clutched his stomach and knelt on the ground, his forehead dripping with sweat the size of soybeans due to the tormenting pain.

Kuang Zhan wanted to stand up from the ground, but he couldn't manage it because the pain was too intense.

The power of thunder roamed within his body, continuously stimulating his flesh, and the destructive strength of this thunderous power was enormously unbearable.

Moreover, Kuang Zhan couldn't understand when exactly Lin Qian had appeared in front of him; he hadn't even managed to see the other's movements before he had fallen.

"Too fast!" Kuang Zhan thought; he couldn't understand why the other's strength had suddenly increased so much.

When they had exchanged blows previously, the opponent's strength wasn't this formidable, but now, his speed was incomparable.

The burst of irresistible force emerged in an instant compared to earlier; it was like comparing two different people.

After a long while, Kuang Zhan recovered from the previous terrifying pain, struggled to climb up from the ground, and looked at Lin Qian, his body soaked with sweat.

"How did you do that?" Kuang Zhan asked after taking a deep breath.

Lin Qian looked at Kuang Zhan, naturally saying, "It's quite simple, because I am stronger than you, much stronger."

"When I fought with you earlier, I didn't use my full strength. If I had resolved you all at once, how could I use your strength to assess the combat power of my Red Rabbit Army under my command?"

Kuang Zhan's pupils constricted as his gaze towards Lin Qian drastically changed.

The opponent had actually used him to test the strength of his subordinates; what did that imply?

After the testing, Lin Qian was already clear about the fighting capability level of the Red Rabbit Army in Trial Land. Kuang Zhan understood this point as well.

A hundred Red Rabbit soldiers could join forces, capable of blasting him away or even achieving a draw.

Such fighting capability, no one's followers within the Overlord Alliance could manage to do that.

What's more, by Lin Qian's side, there was a follower whose strength compared to anyone in the Overlord Alliance was even more formidable than his own.

Thinking of this, Kuang Zhan couldn't help but bitterly smile and mock himself, "Prey? Who is the prey and who is the hunter, it's really uncertain."

Looking at Kuang Zhan in front of him, Lin Qian spoke appreciatively, "According to my understanding, the strength of your Fierce Hunting Clan within the Overlord Alliance has always been at the bottom, hasn't it? Either ninth or tenth?"

The Overlord Alliance itself was no secret; after they had dealt with other threatening opponents and ensured no one would interfere, they began internal competitions, deciding the rankings.

The Fierce Hunting Clan's past rankings within the Overlord Alliance weren't high, at best ninth place, and usually tenth place.

"Don't you feel stifled that, all this time, the best your Fierce Hunting Clan has achieved was merely ninth place?" Lin Qian said, observing Kuang Zhan in front of him and his face showing a look of pity, "In fact, your clan's strength isn't weak. I heard, however, that your clan's talent has a big drawback: excessive energy consumption and too slow speed."

"Just by exploiting this speed to exhaust your stamina, you often lose without a fight."

"Compared to other forces, you do move quickly, but within the Overlord Alliance, the Fierce Hunting Clan is indeed the slowest. Am I right?"

Lin Qian's words made the Fierce Hunting Clan's expression darken.

Indeed, internal competition within the Overlord Alliance had always resulted in them finishing in tenth place, because the nature of their race involved excessive consumption of physical energy and slow speeds.

The only exception was when his father, a Shared Vein User, had secured ninth place, because his father's speed was much faster than the ordinary clan members, but it still wasn't enough.

When the Fierce Hunting Clan entered a combat state, their strength would indeed surge massively, but their blood flow would accelerate drastically, their bodies would boil, and their temperature would go on rising, emitting high heat.

Thus, the speed of energy consumption in their bodies was too fast, and they often ended up collapsing on the ground, only able to use Soul Energy for defense, rendering them immobile targets.

Moreover, the Fierce Hunting Clan was inherently adept at close combat, not at using Soul Energy for long-range attacks.

Kuang Zhan looked at Lin Qian and slowly said, "Indeed, this is a flaw of our clan, I'm very aware of it, there's no need for you to remind me specially!"

Thinking of this, Kuang Zhan genuinely felt frustrated. Sometimes he couldn't understand why his clan's speed was so slow.

He respected Lv Bu wholeheartedly because Lv Bu didn't rely on speed to beat him; instead, he had stood still, letting him attack and was injured by his own force. This made Kuang Zhan acknowledge him from the heart.

The previous defeat by Lin Qian was also because Lin Qian had won using speed, so he did not accept it.

"Looks like you are still quite unconvinced," noticing Kuang Zhan's demeanor, Lin Qian knew what the other was thinking, "Clearly, you think I also won relying on speed. So how about we compare our strengths?"

Saying this, Lin Qian already had a Crystal Bottle in his hand, which he tossed to Kuang Zhan, "Take this, and your energy depletion will be fully restored, then we can have a good comparison."

Kuang Zhan took the Crystal Bottle from Lin Qian's hand, glanced at it, and scoffed, "This thing of yours, who knows what it is. Do you think I would just drink it because you say so?"

"Hmph, if you're scared, just say it."

"Me? Scared?" Provoked by Lin Qian's words, Kuang Zhan could not hold back and directly pulled the stopper and poured the Potion into his mouth, fiercely gulping it down.

In an instant, Kuang Zhan incredibly found that his severely depleted physical strength was recovering at a terrifying speed, and in no more than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he had returned to his peak condition.

And he had not even entered a Cultivation state to assimilate the Potion's power.

At this moment, Kuang Zhan's gaze towards Lin Qian changed. Such a miraculous thing, and the other had just let him consume it?

"In that case, let's compare our strength. If you are truly remarkable, I wouldn't mind following you. We, the Fierce Hunting Clan, respect the strong," Kuang Zhan flexed his arms and spoke to Lin Qian.

Hearing Kuang Zhan's words, a smile appeared on Lin Qian's face: "Well then, let's begin."

Meanwhile, seeing how things had developed to this extent, a look of sympathy appeared on Ye Xin's face, "Comparing strength with my husband? Isn't that asking for trouble?"
