Chapter 753: Solving the Bloodline Problem
🕑 Added 2024-12-18 15:16:35 +0000 UTCLin Qian’s greatest strength had always been his physical prowess, with overwhelming power. Back when he was at the Wanxiang Sect, his physical strength had already been terrifying.
Over the years, whenever Lin Qian fought opponents, they couldn’t withstand his attacks—not only because of his formidable soul power and powerful martial soul—but mainly because his physical body was far too strong, his strength too immense, making it impossible for them to bear.
"Ha!" Kuang Zhankuang roared, his entire skin turning red as he emitted intense heat. He stared at Lin Qian, prepared for battle.
His tall stature and solid muscles exuded immense pressure. In comparison, Lin Qian appeared frail, like a weakling who couldn’t withstand a gust of wind.
Crackling sounds!
Golden-red lightning soul energy surged through Lin Qian's body, circulating from head to toe.
He activated his enhancement talent, boosting his physical strength to fifty times its normal level!
"I advise you to be careful. If we really compare strength head-on, you might end up hurt," Kuang Zhankuang kindly reminded Lin Qian, hoping his opponent would exercise caution.
In response, Lin Qian smiled faintly. "You should be the one worrying about yourself."
"Looks like I’ll have to show you with actions," Kuang Zhankuang said, taking a deep breath as he stretched his muscles, staring at Lin Qian. "From here on, no dodging. Only direct combat."
"Don’t worry. Since I’ve agreed to compare strength, I won’t dodge," Lin Qian confirmed.
Hearing Lin Qian’s agreement, Kuang Zhankuang relaxed a bit, but a look of pity appeared on his face. He thought Lin Qian was foolish to accept such a challenge—directly facing him in a contest of strength seemed absurd.
But Kuang Zhankuang had no idea just how monstrous his opponent truly was.
Whoosh!
The wind from Kuang Zhankuang’s punch howled as he threw his full force into the strike aimed straight at Lin Qian, the gust pushing Lin Qian’s hair back.
In Kuang Zhankuang’s mind, even if Lin Qian somehow managed to withstand this blow, it would surely be with great difficulty. After all, this was his full-strength strike in peak condition, completely different from his earlier probing attacks.
Smack!
A crisp sound echoed as Kuang Zhankuang’s fist collided directly with Lin Qian’s open palm. The force of the impact sent ripples through the ground, scattering dirt into the air.
To Kuang Zhankuang’s shock, the counterforce from Lin Qian’s grip sent pain shooting up his arm, causing him to frown deeply.
Yet Lin Qian stood there, unmoved.
Startled, Kuang Zhankuang quickly tried to pull his fist back, but Lin Qian had already grabbed his wrist.
In that instant, a crack echoed as bones fractured in Kuang Zhankuang’s wrist, the pain excruciating. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t free himself from Lin Qian’s iron grip.
"Seems like your strength isn’t enough," Lin Qian remarked with a mocking tone. Suddenly, Kuang Zhankuang felt his feet leave the ground.
Lin Qian was swinging him around.
Despite his large, muscular frame, Lin Qian—who looked small in comparison—seemed to have the strength of an ancient beast. Kuang Zhankuang couldn’t resist him at all.
Whoosh!
Kuang Zhankuang felt his body spinning through the air uncontrollably, crashing hard into the ground.
Climbing to his feet painfully, Kuang Zhankuang’s right arm hung limply by his side, the bones completely shattered during the violent swing.
Looking up at Lin Qian, who was walking toward him at a slow pace, Kuang Zhankuang no longer saw a frail human. Instead, he saw a humanoid dragon, approaching with a menacing aura.
He couldn’t believe it—he had been thrown like a ragdoll, and Lin Qian’s strength was monstrously excessive.
"I surrender!" Kuang Zhankuang shouted at Lin Qian, afraid his other arm would be broken, or worse, that Lin Qian would hurl him through the air again.
He wasn’t a masochist, and he realized that Lin Qian was an opponent he couldn’t handle. He had no intention of serving himself up for more punishment.
Looking at Lin Qian, Kuang Zhankuang’s expression became complicated. He could no longer comprehend the young man standing before him.
Initially, he had thought Lin Qian was a worthy opponent.
Then Lin Qian displayed his method of gathering his subordinates with terrifying speed.
Not only were his followers extraordinarily powerful, but Lin Qian’s own strength was on an entirely different level.
"A bet is a bet. I, Kuang Zhankuang, swear on my heart demon that I will follow you. Should I ever rebel, may I die a miserable death." Without hesitation, Kuang Zhankuang made his vow, fulfilling his end of their agreement.
Kuang Zhankuang’s decisiveness surprised Lin Qian. He didn’t expect his new follower to swear loyalty so quickly.
"There's no need to rush..." Lin Qian said, caught off guard by Kuang Zhankuang’s quick pledge. He wasn’t sure how to react.
Kuang Zhankuang’s expression was serious. "My father always told me that once you make a decision, you have to own it. Since I made a bet with you, I’ll accept the consequences. If I can’t keep my word, how can I aim for greater heights in the future?"
His righteous words earned Lin Qian’s further respect. With this kind of character and his natural talents, Kuang Zhankuang was indeed a valuable asset.
"I am the Emperor of the Huaxia Empire. Now that you’ve sworn loyalty to me, you are part of Huaxia," Lin Qian declared. "I never treat my own people unfairly. Here, take these." He handed Kuang Zhankuang several tokens. "Channel your soul energy to the fullest, then take this recovery potion to heal your injuries. After that, give me a drop of your blood essence and regular blood."
Lin Qian’s words left Kuang Zhankuang puzzled, but now that he was a follower, he assumed there was a reason for these instructions and followed them obediently.
Once Kuang Zhankuang had completed the process, Lin Qian received the blood samples and sent them to the Tian Gong Department on Xuánhuàn Star. "Prime Minister, see if there’s a way to fix the Kuang Lie Clan's bloodline issues."
"Understood, Your Majesty. I’ll begin the research immediately," Zhuge Ming replied promptly.
Meanwhile, Kuang Zhankuang had formally introduced himself to Ye Xin and Ye Nanxin, finally understanding why they were participating in the trial under the banner of the Sky Phoenix Clan.
"Your Majesty, what’s the purpose of all this?" Kuang Zhankuang couldn’t hold back his curiosity any longer and asked.
"We’re seeing if we can solve the Kuang Lie Clan's weaknesses," Lin Qian replied nonchalantly, leaving Kuang Zhankuang stunned.
