The Peerless Emperor

The territory of the Overlord Hall is located in an extremely excellent position, with abundant spiritual energy.

This alone can fetch a high price.

Betting territory in the Saint Institute War is rare. Initially, the Overlord Hall felt certain of victory, hence the bold gamble.

In the Saint Institute War, if the challenger's conditions are rejected, they can revise the stakes set by the challenged party.

Lin Qian did not alter a single aspect of the Overlord Hall's challenge conditions, making Overlord Hall believe their provocation was successful, or perhaps the other party was too arrogant, thinking victory was assured.

No one could have foreseen today's situation.

After plundering the wealth of the Overlord Hall's territory, Lin Qian and his group disregarded it completely because the spiritual energy level in the Trial Land was far superior to that of the Overlord Hall's territory, rendering it unappealing to them.

Ultimately, Lin Qian sold the Overlord Hall's territory to another student faction, Tongtian Hall, for a price of ten million Saint Institute marks.

The strength of Tongtian Hall was comparable to Overlord Hall, evenly matched, or even a notch superior, having entered the Saint Institute earlier than Overlord Hall.

Coincidentally, Tongtian Hall's territory was adjacent to that of Overlord Hall.

Originally, Tongtian Hall intended to purchase Overlord Hall's territory from Lin Qian.

This time, Lin Qian himself proposed selling Overlord Hall's territory, making Tongtian Hall jubilant, immediately offering ten million marks to acquire it.

In fact, this price was considerably higher.

According to Tongtian Hall, this price was a way of making friends, hoping for more cooperation with Lin Qian's Huaxia Alliance in the Saint Institute.

Moreover, acquiring Overlord Hall's territory was highly beneficial for Tongtian Hall.

After expanding their territory, they would attract more students.

Once the dealings were completed, Lin Qian distributed the marks to the Huaxia Alliance students, yet he kept eight million marks for himself.

No one opposed this action.

Not a single person had objections, even if he were to take all ten million, as it was Lin Qian who had won them.

With so many marks in hand, Lin Qian exchanged them for numerous resources, targeting primarily materials needed for the puppet body plan, the more, the better.

The truth is, these resources, while not extremely precious, are very rare indeed.

Lin Qian had already asked his mentor to search for these materials, but Wei Wushuang was also secretly searching, with not high efficiency.

If Wei Wushuang hadn't recklessly made a heart demon vow, being unable to directly take materials from the Saint Institute, Lin Qian wouldn't need to use marks for exchange; Wei could have just handed them to him.

To compete for the Holy Command, Wei Wushuang couldn't directly assist Lin Qian, unless a reason was found.

For example, in the Saint Land when Ke An and others were clearly trying to make things difficult for them and harm their interests, Lin Qian could use this as an excuse for Wei Wushuang to intervene.

Apart from this, Wei Wushuang had no way to assist Lin Qian.

Returning to the Trial Land, everyone resumed their cultivation anew.

Cultivation is like rowing against the current; advancing is essential.

The Cultivation Technique bestowed by Lin Qian was profound and extensive, requiring careful insight and practice for personal validation.

To prove their strength, Huaxia Alliance students gradually began to initiate Saint Institute Wars against other students.

Mostly involving fighting in groups, though the challenged party would modify rules, prohibiting the use of followers.

Evidently, the clashes between Huaxia Alliance and Overlord Hall left a shadow in their hearts.

However, they gradually realized these challenges were not from Lin Qian but from other Huaxia Alliance students.

The stakes were naturally not very high; merely some marks or resources.

Originally, these veteran students considered the new Huaxia Alliance students unworthy of attention.

In their view, the truly formidable ones were Lin Qian, his followers, and the high-ranking members of Huaxia Alliance: people who once participated in the entry trials for the Overlord Alliance.

In fact, the results were astonishing.

Huaxia Alliance students initiated a total of one thousand six hundred and seventy-four Saint Institute Wars to verify the results of their cultivation and new soul skills.

The record was one thousand six hundred and seventy victories, four draws, and not a single loss!

This result shocked the entire Saint Institute's outer court, even startling many mentors and deacons of Sea Spiral Holy Institute.

Because among these records, Lin Qian never intervened, nor did any of the powerful high-ranking Huaxia Alliance students, but purely other students from Huaxia Alliance.

In the impression of veteran students, these ordinary students should have limited strength.

But after fighting, they found each was not to be underestimated, with bloodline talents erupted differing greatly from their original racial traits, as if facing an unfamiliar race.

Especially students from the Fierce Hunting Clan surprisingly did not have previous shortcomings.

They also discovered that other Saint Rune Clan students within Huaxia Alliance all exhibited one rune fusion, with terrifying combat capacities.

After their victories, Huaxia Alliance students universally submitted half of their spoils to Lin Qian.

This was the result of their autonomous discussions, for their current achievements, invincible success, and unrivaled conquest, were all attributed to Lin Qian.

This was something unimaginable in the past.

Even when other outer court students learned they were part of Huaxia Alliance, they envied greatly, with many wanting to join the alliance.

However, Lin Qian maintained a stance of rejecting all new members.

Huaxia Alliance students were those who joined with him during the entry trial, undergoing fixed assessments together, cultivating within the Saint Land.

Only then were they qualified to receive Lin Qian's nurturing; not just any random individuals were worthy of his attention.

In fact, Lin Qian's nurturing received the greatest returns; merely their spoils from initiating Saint Institute Wars far exceeded what he invested in their development.

After all, Cultivation Techniques and Potions were but simple tasks.

During this period, Overlord Hall also initiated a Saint Institute War, capturing one territory, before settling into silence. Even after a year had passed, they made no moves or initiated Saint Institute Wars against Huaxia Alliance.

Many speculated that Overlord Hall was shocked by Huaxia Alliance's prowess.

Time quietly passed, marking a full thirty years since Lin Qian entered the Saint Institute.

While Lin Qian was silently cultivating, two representatives personally came to meet him in the Saint Institute.

One was the Clan Leader of the Fierce Hunting Clan, the other was the Clan Leader of the Wood Realm Clan.

The arrival of two major Clan Leaders from the Sea Spiral Star Domain carried obvious intentions.
