Chapter 44 (2/2)

Were the two of them idiots? Could a No 7 and No 9 in ranking be idiots?

According to their daily reports by the Inner Sect disciples, they were crystal clear of Lin Qian abilities.

While they were confident in their own skills, Liu Ming was much more meticulous inside despite his brawny appearance.

He had the plan to ensure a perfect chance of beating Lin Qian and grabbing the candidature for the Ancient Ruins. Hence he had abused the privileges of a challenger, changing the fight to a team fight.

For Liu Ming knew within the Universal Phenomenon Sect, Lin Qian did not have a stable background, he hadn’t even made it into the Inner Sect.

After the shift to be a team fight, Lin Qian could only rely on Lei Qian and those remaining tens of members in the Rushing Thunder Guild.

On the other hand, Liu Ming, together with Lei Kuo, could bring along more than 600 men.

Regardless of how outrageously talented Lin Qian was, there’s not a chance he could stand against such numbers, right?

Yet, reality played a prank on him. Out of thin air, three thousand heavy armour troopers morphed. With the sharp glimmers on their armour, they pierced through his plan like tofu.

“Zhao Long, lead the middle-class spearman and surround the Arena. When noontime arrives, destroy the dantian of whoever dares to step out of the Arena.” Immediately following, Lin Qian ordered Zhao Long in a loud voice, ensuring that Liu Ming and Lei Kuo caught each word clearly.

“Zhao Long received the order clearly, Your Majesty!” Zhao Long recovered from his one foot kneeling, running about the 36th Arena.

As he circled the Stage, middle-tier spearman tightly followed behind. With every distance, the last men remained, standing at attention by the platform.

As they guarded the edge, their stone-cold eyes fixated onto Liu Ming and Lei Kuo, not budging even the slightest.

“All of you go down now.” At that point, Lin Qian turned and instructed the Rushing Thunder Guild members again.

This time, there were no buts, all of them nodded in a daze, leaving the stage one by one.

Having removed all the innocent members, Lin Qian walked towards Liu Ming and Lei Kuo. As their distance widened, Lei Qian finally reacted, pulling himself together and rushing after Lin Qian.

As Lin Qian moved, the remaining two contingents closed up together, patching up the empty space left by the spearmen unit. Coming together, they marched towards the 36th Arena.

When Lin Qian was just a few metres away from his challengers, he halted. At that moment, the Swordsmen and Bladesmen Contingent did the same uniformly.

Taking a deep breath, Lei Qian slowly turned and faced the army behind him, bursting into a sudden peal of laughter.

“HAHA! Liu Ming, Lei Kuo, why are you dead silent? Weren’t you all confident and disdainful just now?” Now, Lei Qian laughed, wildly arrogant and fearless.

“BAM!”

With a swift slap, Lin Qian smacked Lei Qian mercilessly on the back of his head, lecturing angrily, “What are you doing? Stop this vile, conceited attitude at once!”

Immediately, the arrogant grin on Lei Qian vanished. He knew that he had messed up.

The sudden support from the mysterious army had given him way too much confidence. Now, he finally understood the true meaning of strength in numbers.

“HAHA!” Just as Lei Qian was deep himself reflection, Lin Qian began laughing fanatically, shouting at Liu Ming and Lei Kuo, “Dumb idiots, weren’t you all pompous and condescending, barking like a dog? Come on, bark for me again. Did you go mute suddenly?”

“Good scolding Your Majesty!” After Lin Qian mocked his opponent, Zhao Long immediately fisted his chest, exclaiming in support for his kind.

Similarly, all three thousand troops simultaneously roared.

“Right!”

“Wonderful my lord!”

“Genius!”

“A round of applause!”

(Claps!)
