Chapter 907: Chapter 908: Understood
Lin Qian’s complete disregard for her attitude thoroughly enraged Princess Qin.
For as long as she could remember, she had lived in luxury and was also well-known in the outer court. As the princess of the Hundred Battle Border Country, she had managed to enter the Saint Institute and established the Qin Palace Hall, ranking within the top hundred of the outer court, formidable and extraordinary.
Yet, a mere new student dared to ignore her in such a manner.
The fixed assessment tasks were merely fixed assessment tasks; being able to complete them only made one appear somewhat talented in the eyes of others. The fixed assessment tasks could not entirely represent one’s strength.
As for the Overlord Hall, despite being young and ranked within the top hundred, one of the peak forces of the outer court, it only ranked slightly at the bottom of this peak.
The potential was strong, but in terms of direct strength within the top hundred, it was not particularly terrifying.
Therefore, in Princess Qin’s eyes, Lin Qian was of no significance.
In the scenario she envisioned, upon seeing her, the other party should have been fearful and apologized. Not to be compared to Yan Ruqian, her useless brother.
“Stop there, you’re courting death?” Princess Qin said sharply, reprimanding Lin Qian, commanding him to halt.
But to her command, Lin Qian simply turned a deaf ear, ignoring it entirely, and continued walking into the mystical forest of Reincarnation Purplewood.
“Damn it!” Princess Qin gritted her silver teeth, her soul energy surging, poised to make a move, “You vile lower-class person, this princess will inform the private troops to locate your Huaxia Empire and exterminate them thoroughly.
At those words, Lin Qian suddenly halted his steps, and turning abruptly, he stared at her coldly: “Princess Qin, your actions equate to the Hundred Battle Border Country declaring war on the Huaxia Empire. Are you certain you can bear this responsibility?”
“Hahaha, how amusing. Do you believe your Huaxia Empire can compare to our Hundred Battle Border Country?” At this point, Princess Qin’s face was full of mockery, her gaze treating Lin Qian as a pathetic insect, “Someone who doesn’t even dare to accept a bet, yet so brazenly talks about declaring war.”
“Compared to our Hundred Battle Border Country, what you’re doing is not declaring war, but waiting to die.”
After a long silence, Lin Qian slowly spoke, looking at Princess Qin: “In that case, the Huaxia Empire and the Hundred Battle Border Country are now adversaries. You may notify your side to prepare for war.”
“By the way, my patience is also limited. Since you are so reckless, I will accept your bet. Within ten years, I will break your record, and by then, you shall end your life.”
Having said that, Lin Qian turned away and continued into the mystical forest of Reincarnation Purplewood, ready for the upcoming training to hone himself.
Lin Qian’s disappearance from everyone’s sight shocked many.
They were not stunned by his acceptance of the bet but by Lin Qian’s proactive declaration that the Huaxia Empire would become adversaries with the Hundred Battle Border Country, seemingly ready to initiate a war.
Numerous onlookers couldn’t comprehend where Lin Qian found the courage to dare declare war against the Hundred Battle Border Country.
In mid-air, Princess Qin’s chest violently rose and fell; she hadn’t expected Lin Qian to be so arrogant. Fortunately, he accepted the bet, but shortly thereafter, she realized there was no heart demon oath binding the wager.
“Hmph, no matter. With so many witnesses, it’s impossible to renege when the time comes.”
At this moment, Lin Qian had already entered the mystical forest of Reincarnation Purplewood and began the training in the Illusion Realm.
Upon taking his first step, he once again entered the Illusion Realm, unaffected by his previous ten successful steps—this Illusion Realm did not cease to manifest.
Exiting the mystical forest required starting training anew.
The difference was that, after successfully completing the Illusion Realm for the first time, the rewards were much more generous.
Now, retracing those ten steps, the rewards would be far less, not as abundant.
Lin Qian was not concerned about this; his goal was to surpass ten steps, to venture further and gain more rewards to enhance his soul.
As for the wager with Princess Qin, it was merely an incidental matter.
At present, outside the mystical forest of Reincarnation Purplewood, many were discussing the recent events.
“Speaking of, this Lin Qian was too impulsive to accept the wager.”
“Daring to publicly declare an adversarial stance against the Hundred Battle Border Country; what won’t he dare to do?”
“But, thinking about it, why did he hide beforehand?”
“Perhaps not hiding, but preparing to do something.”
Amidst the discussions, a student from the outer court listened silently, and inadvertently glanced at the stele, his eyes widened, suddenly screaming: “Holy!”
Involuntarily, this Soul Martial Artist roared, using soul energy, instantly alerting many around him, who turned to look.
“What are you yelling for? Trying to scare people for fun?”
“It’s not that.” The one who screamed frantically waved his hands, pointing to the stele, “Look at the position of the ten thousandth on the stele.”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the stele.
The rankings on the stele were determined by steps and time spent, arranging them accordingly, with only the top ten thousand names appearing on the stele.
On the stele, at the nine thousand nine hundred ninety-ninth position, the achievement was clearly the twelfth step, taking two hundred and seven days!
But behind it, at the ten thousandth position, the name Lin Qian was distinctly displayed—alongside it, the note of ten steps.
As for the time, two hundred and three breaths!
Indeed, not two hundred and three days, but two hundred and three breaths, compared to the top two hundred and seven days, it was unbelievably shocking.
“How is this possible? Has the stele encountered an error?”
“Two hundred breaths for ten steps; even the first dean personally could not achieve this!”
“Monster, is this circumstance truly possible?”
“Look, his ranking is rising, quickly!”
Lin Qian, twelve steps, two hundred twenty breaths.
Lin Qian, thirteen steps, two hundred twenty-six breaths.
Lin Qian, fourteen steps, two hundred thirty-two breaths.
Every moment, Lin Qian’s rank was soaring, the annotations beside his name left everyone speechless in astonishment.
At this moment, they suddenly turned their attention to the entrance of the mystical forest of Reincarnation Purplewood, witnessing Lin Qian rush out, impatient, with a peculiar expression, flying away into the air.
“I understand now!” Suddenly, the person first noticing the stele shouted loudly.
