Chapter 754: Problem Solved
🕑 Added 2024-12-18 15:16:42 +0000 UTCThe flaw in their race had existed for countless ages. Many of their ancestors had tried various methods to solve the inherent weaknesses of their bloodline, hoping to perfect their innate talents.
But the result was always disappointing. Despite the continuous improvement in the strength of their race through these studies, the core issue had never been resolved.
And now Lin Qian casually claimed he could fix the problem with their race?
"Then again, it's only a possibility. Why am I getting so worked up?" Kuang Zhankuang thought to himself with a self-mocking smile.
If solving their racial flaw were that easy, wouldn't their ancestors' countless efforts have yielded better results by now? It seemed impossible that Lin Qian could solve their problem after a single meeting. It sounded like a fantasy.
Maybe it was just idle talk?
A method to win people's loyalty?
Kuang Zhankuang reasoned that Lin Qian probably didn’t need to use such words to win him over. After all, Kuang Zhankuang had already sworn a heart demon oath; there was no need for any tricks to ensure his loyalty.
However, Kuang Zhankuang had no idea just how terrifying Zhuge Ming, one of Lin Qian's followers, truly was. There was indeed a real possibility that the flaw in his race could be resolved.
While Zhuge Ming continued his research and the followers gathered, Kuang Zhankuang understood that they were already in an advantageous position.
He looked at Lin Qian and asked, “How should I address you?”
Lin Qian paused to think for a moment before replying, “Just address me as 'Your Majesty.' In some sense, from now on, you will be a subject of the Huaxia Empire, so this title should suit you.”
"Subject?" Kuang Zhankuang chuckled and shook his head, then said, "Your Majesty, now that all of our people are assembled, we are currently the strongest force in this trial. This is the best time to strike."
“If possible, the best course of action would be to attack the remaining nine members of the Dominator Alliance and eliminate them. If you don’t want to make eternal enemies, just force them to swear a heart demon oath not to compete for the top ten rankings."
“If we don’t act now, once they’ve gathered their followers, it won’t be as easy to deal with them.”
As he spoke, Kuang Zhankuang grew excited. In all the history of trials, he had never heard of anyone being able to gather their followers on the first day, let alone within an hour of the trial starting.
“Unprecedented. Truly impressive!” Kuang Zhankuang couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for Lin Qian.
He didn’t realize that this admiration was the subtle influence of Lin Qian’s emperor’s aura, gradually altering his thoughts and loyalty.
The charisma of a king was undeniably powerful.
“I understand. As for the Dominator Alliance, you must know them better than anyone. Tell me what you know,” Lin Qian said, nodding in agreement with Kuang Zhankuang’s suggestion. “Know your enemy, and you’ll always win.”
Kuang Zhankuang nodded and, after organizing his thoughts, began to explain the situation within the Dominator Alliance.
“In the Dominator Alliance, according to the rankings from the last trial at the Haixuan Sacred Academy, my clan, the Kuang Lie Clan, ranks tenth. As for the ninth-ranked group, that would be the Mu Jie Clan.”
“Their race has a unique strength. They exist in a state similar to that of trees, and their innate talent is the ability to control trees, including their own bodies.”
“They also have a deep understanding of formations, often using trees to create barriers in battle, making them extremely difficult to deal with.”
“Our race, with its inherent flaws, is no match for them. Once they form a wooden barrier, we are drained of energy and have no chance of fighting back.”
Kuang Zhankuang smiled wryly as he explained this to Lin Qian. "If Your Majesty could fix the Kuang Lie Clan's flaw, our entire race might swear loyalty to you."
"Why is that?" Lin Qian asked, surprised. What did he mean by the entire Kuang Lie Clan swearing loyalty if their racial flaw was resolved?
Kuang Zhankuang continued, "Although we are a powerful race, this flaw is deadly. It shortens our lifespan compared to other races."
A trace of sorrow appeared in Kuang Zhankuang’s eyes as he continued, "My mother died because of this flaw."
Kuang Zhankuang then explained in more detail, allowing Lin Qian to fully understand the issue.
In the Kuang Lie Clan, the intense blood boiling that occurred during battle had been passed down through generations. But even emotions such as joy or excitement could trigger this condition.
Once the blood boiling occurred, it often spiraled out of control, leading to death by blood burst.
Kuang Zhankuang’s mother had died in this very way, her blood boiling uncontrollably out of pride for her son’s talent, causing her to explode from within.
Even in normal life, Kuang Lie Clan members had to suppress their emotions. If their blood boiled too intensely, it could lead to self-immolation during battle due to the unbearable heat generated within their bodies.
For this reason, members of the Kuang Lie Clan appeared lethargic and emotionless to outsiders. They constantly took special pills to suppress their emotions.
This was why outsiders often viewed them as a race devoid of emotion, focused solely on combat.
Kuang Zhankuang had been fighting so intensely earlier that the medicine suppressing his emotions had worn off. The recovery potion Lin Qian had given him neutralized the effect of the emotion-suppressing pills.
"This is the greatest tragedy of our race. Who wouldn’t want to live with feelings, to have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness?" Kuang Zhankuang looked down at his hands, sadness in his voice. “We also want to feel. We don’t want to live in constant fear of dying from our own blood.”
Hearing this, Lin Qian suddenly smiled, surprising Kuang Zhankuang.
"Looks like the Huaxia Empire is about to gain another powerful clan," Lin Qian said as he glanced at Ye Xin beside him.
Ye Xin, understanding what Lin Qian meant, asked, “Has Teacher already solved the problem?”
“Of course. For him, it’s just a piece of cake,” Lin Qian responded with confidence.
