The Peerless Emperor

His emotions gradually subsided, and the Fierce Battle frenzy on his body returned to its original normal state. His eyes, however, were filled with surprise and delight, "Your Majesty, this state is truly incredible!"

At this moment, Kuang Zhan was utterly excited, trembling all over, unable to suppress his joy.

"After entering that state previously, I could clearly feel that it was very similar to the past Fierce Hunting state, almost identical."

"But there is a world of difference, under the past Fierce Hunting state, my Soul Energy and physical strength indeed surged extraordinarily, but the consumption rate was also terrifying," Kuang Zhan's face beamed with happiness as he continued speaking to Lin Qian, "Now it's different. Even if I enter this so-called Fierce Battle state, the consumption won't be too great."

After entering the Fierce Battle state, Kuang Zhan's Soul Energy and physical strength consumption would still surge dramatically. However, the subsequent consumption was nothing like that of the Fierce Hunting state, it was as different as heaven from earth.

The degree of consumption was no longer so frightening; instead, it was at a more reasonable level.

At this moment, Lin Qian was utterly lost in thought. He now needed to carefully consider what position the Fierce Battle Clan would hold if they truly joined the Empire in the future.

If an army were to be formed independently, their strength would be far from sufficient, lacking a true powerhouse to preside over it.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, and besides, the others might not necessarily agree to join the Empire, even if their bloodline issues could be resolved," Lin Qian thought as he came out of his reverie.

"Your Majesty, what shall we do next, sweep through directly?" Kuang Zhan, seeing Lin Qian emerge from his thoughts, curiously inquired, eager to know the next course of action.

Kuang Zhan's sudden question didn't fluster Lin Qian. Instead, he nodded earnestly and methodically stated, "Precisely. Our strength now far exceeds that of the other Trialists. We must seize this opportunity and take immediate action."

Decisively, after securing this courtyard, Lin Qian was once again ready to embark, with Lv Bu gathering the Red Rabbit Army and following close behind his Majesty, heading into the distant dense forests.

Kuang Zhan also had a way to contact his followers and used this method to notify his other followers to converge on his current location.

As time went by, the already sizable group became even larger.

Along the way, Lin Qian and his companions encountered many other Trialists, and each meeting left the others shocked.

They couldn't fathom how, in such a short time, Lin Qian and his entourage had managed to gather all their followers.

Facing almost overwhelming strength, they were defeated without a doubt and their marks were taken.

The marks obtained from subsequent Trialist encounters were distributed to the group in turn, ensuring that everyone's marks would increase.

In just a short three days, Lin Qian had already collected 1,054 marks, while Ye Xin and Ye Nanxin both had 1,049 marks, and Kuang Zhan had 1,048 marks.

By this time, many of Kuang Zhan's original followers had gathered around him. After arriving, they too learned of the events from their Young Clan Leader and looked at Lin Qian with wonder and intrigue.

The issue that had troubled the Fierce Hunting Clan for countless years had been solved by this member of the Human Clan.

And their own Young Clan Leader had also managed to defeat the Trialists of the Hard Clan by completing his bloodline, an achievement both surprising and exciting.

In the grand palace above the central location of the Trial Land, many were helpless regarding the current state of events in the Trial Land.

"Because of his unique abilities, the trials of the entire Trial Land have plunged into chaos. Such a number of marks in such a short time is unprecedented," the elder shook his head privately as he looked at the content on the screen, "Once this Lin Qian enters the Saint Institute, he's likely to stir a storm."

"The dynamics within the Saint Institute have been stable for a long time, and it's time for a change," a middle-aged man said silently as he watched the screen. After a long pause, he spoke, "If possible, I can become a senior mentor soon. Then, I may follow Lin Qian and become his mentor."

"Oh, it seems you value this Lin Qian highly. For many years, countless students who sought to win over you, a mentor of great potential, have returned empty-handed. It looks like this time you've found a worthy leader," the elder replied with a light laugh upon hearing the middle-aged man's words.

The middle-aged man remained silent, looking at Lin Qian on the screen, "Sea Spiral Holy Institute, apart from the Dean and the Elder Council, who are detached and control the rules and guardianship of the Institute, the Institute itself exists to serve students like them and to help them grow. As a mentor of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, it is my destiny to become a follower of the students. I was unwilling in the past, simply because I had not recognized anyone worthy. Now that I have found such a person, why not seize the opportunity?"

The elder affirmed the middle-aged man's words and looked at Lin Qian on the screen wistfully, "Speaking of which, I too have the idea of becoming a mentor follower for this young man."

Meanwhile, inside the Trial Land, Lin Qian, who was engaged in casual conversation, was stunned to hear Kuang Zhan say, "Mentors in the Sea Spiral Holy Institute are followers of the students?"

Kuang Zhan's words left Lin Qian dumbfounded, as the Institute described did not match his expectations at all.

In Lin Qian's imagination, upon entering the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, they would be guided by various powerful mentors who typically led groups of students.

However, according to Kuang Zhan, the hierarchy within the Sea Spiral Holy Institute ranked from the Dean and the Elder Council to the students and then the mentors, followed by various service and menial staff.

"The Dean is a detached existence, reigning supreme and mostly hidden in the background, seldom appearing. The Elder Council decides on various major events and only appears for these. However, in ordinary times, the ones who speak in the Sea Spiral Holy Institute are actually the students."

"In a sense, the Sea Spiral Holy Institute is a place where students dominate, and the mentors are there to serve the students."

"But that's not to say that mentors have no status. Many mentors possess their own formidable power and are respected by students who hope to win them over, to have them follow and become part of their own forces."

"The Sea Spiral Holy Institute is a place where students vie for dominance by winning over various mentors, battling and contending with other students."
