Chapter 906: Chapter 907: No Time for That
Not long after, Ye Xin also arrived at the Trial Land of the Enchanting Soul Forest. Of course, there weren’t many who knew its true name.
Upon entering, Ye Xin naturally fell into the illusion realm.
However, Ye Xin was different from ordinary Soul Martial Artists. Although she was not the ruler of the Huaxia Empire, as the empress holding the reins of the world, she naturally had the protection of the national fortune.
Therefore, upon entering the illusion realm, she did not remain lost within it, unaware like ordinary people.
Before entering the illusion realm, Zhuge Ming had already described Lin Qian’s experiences in passing through the illusion realm to her. After all, in that illusion realm, she couldn’t connect with the Heavenly Art Department like Lin Qian, and her circumstances were not as favorable.
In the first step of the illusion realm, the time span was a hundred years. Ye Xin ultimately completed it in seven breaths, exceeding the conditions and receiving an extremely generous reward.
Eventually, Ye Xin stopped at the sixth step, only able to leave the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest, and was brought to the courtyard in the sky by Wei Qingqing to rest, sitting cross-legged beside Lin Qian to cultivate.
The reason her progress wasn’t as far as Lin Qian’s was entirely because the latter, having lived two lifetimes, had a much stronger soul foundation than ordinary people, leading to such a situation.
After Ye Xin appeared, Lin Qian temporarily paused his cultivation. Seeing her condition, he already knew what had happened and took out a potion for her to consume.
Subsequently, Lin Qian once again immersed himself in cultivation, unable to extricate himself.
The feeling of the soul’s enhancement was too comfortable, the profoundness indescribable. Throughout the process, he constantly felt as if his eyes were strangely itchy, as if nurturing something, about to be born.
While they were cultivating, events outside were escalating more and more intensely. Over on Princess Qin’s side, she even began sending people to launch a battle at the Saint Institute against the Huaxia Alliance.
However, the battle results were completely different from what Princess Qin had imagined.
After accepting the challenge, the Huaxia Alliance invariably put forth conditions allowing those capable to participate. When fighting, Zhuge Ming, appearing with a puppet body, would emerge on the battlefield.
As the Prime Minister of the Huaxia Empire and the most formidable strategist, his presence became the backbone for the Huaxia Alliance students in the Saint Institute battle.
He initiated by sealing the heavens and the earth, restricting the enemy’s movement space, casually arranging arrays to enhance the Huaxia Alliance students’ strength and weaken the enemy’s power, with methods as mysterious as a ghost.
Moreover, one important reason for their hundred victories was that the enemy’s intelligence had long been known in advance.
Therefore, Zhuge Ming would adjust the line-up of the Huaxia Alliance based on the enemy’s different levels, to handle various situations.
On the Soul Martial Star, the students of the Huaxia Alliance, having undergone trials in dungeons, became adept in the techniques of mutual cooperation and combat.
During the battles, the enemies seemed to be toyed with, unable to inflict any substantial damage, even if the entire team was eliminated.
Some even tried to imitate the Huaxia Alliance students’ combat style, but always ended up doing it poorly, losing their original fighting advantage instead.
After all, without the training dungeons, there was no way to learn properly.
The Huaxia Alliance students mastered this method of cooperation not only through trial dungeons but also under the special illusion realm of the Huaxia Empire.
Near each dungeon, there would be a specific Retrospective Hall, a place where one could observe battle recordings, repeatedly reflect on the process, find their shortcomings, and improve.
Furthermore, they cultivated alongside Lin Qian and Zhuge Ming, which naturally made their progress incredibly quick.
Simply observing a few battles and then attempting to imitate was not enough to learn this combat style.
In the beginning, when learning this combat style, everyone only felt there was immense knowledge within it.
One had to calculate a companion’s soul energy recovery rate, physical stamina, or attack strength. It had to be matched with the enemy’s situation, and predictions had to be made.
Almost every team needed such a commander, positioned at the rear.
The study of combat tactics needed to be specifically acquired.
The result of the Saint Institute battle drove Princess Qin mad with fury, but she had no means to remedy the situation, continuously losing and being utterly embarrassed.
Moreover, when she took action personally, the Huaxia Alliance students simply and directly refused to accept her challenge.
Challenges also had a time limit, and those who came due to Princess Qin’s presence almost completed all their challenges, achieving no victories.
At this moment, Lin Qian finally emerged from seclusion.
At this moment, the soul strength in his mind had become unimaginable compared to before, with a faint purple brilliance flowing in his eyes, seemingly nurturing something.
Yet to manifest in this world, a great deal more effort was required.
After finishing his cultivation, Lin Qian naturally left the small pavilion and appeared at the entrance of the Enchanting Soul Forest, preparing to enter within.
“The effect of this Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest is truly remarkable. Just ten steps can enhance soul strength to this extent. Once all the illusion realms are completed, how formidable will the soul strength become?” Thinking of this, Lin Qian couldn’t help but get excited.
Lin Qian had decided that during this period, he would not consider cultivation matters, setting them aside for now, prioritizing the enhancement of his soul strength.
This was an opportunity not to be missed lightly.
“Lin Qian, you’ve finally come out. You’re no longer a turtle hiding in its shell?” Suddenly, a woman appeared abruptly in front of Lin Qian, radiant and heroic, but with a face full of arrogance, looking down on everyone before her as ants.
The woman appearing in front of him made Lin Qian frown. This person was none other than Princess Qin of the Hundred Battle Border Country.
“What do you want?”
Princess Qin sneered, staring at Lin Qian: “What, didn’t you hear the bet this princess made? Do you have the courage to accept it?”
“Bet?” Lin Qian frowned. He had been in seclusion and almost ignored affairs outside. Only after inquiring Zhuge Ming did he come to realize the situation.
Understanding the cause, Lin Qian’s face was full of impatience, waving his hand as if shooing away a fly: “Go back to where you came from. I don’t have time to waste with you.”
With those words, Lin Qian flashed past her, appeared far behind her, lifted his leg, and stepped into the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest.
Enhancing soul strength was the most critical task in his eyes.
A bet?
Ridiculous, who has time for that.
