Chapter 2079: Spiritual Energy Imprint

As the words fell, the entire hall suddenly stirred up a spiritual energy storm.

The already oppressive atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point, chilling!

It seemed to sense Ka Lian's displeasure, and the more than ten fifth‑stage guards on either side pressed in unison toward Qing Kai.

For a moment, facing twelve fifth‑stage opponents, two of whom were fellow Star Destroyers of the same rank, Qing Kai's body suddenly sank, and he nearly knelt!

It was obvious that, facing the Red Armor Descendant, Qing Kai was far from being the friend he claimed!

His status was far below that of Ka Lian, who possessed only a War Star!

"Princess Ka Lian, please calm your anger!"

Qing Kai's expression shifted slightly; not caring for his disheveled appearance, he hurriedly spoke to explain.

He quickly pointed at Lin An and, before everyone, displayed the scene of Lin An battling the first squad of Creators.

"Your Highness! Though these War Slaves are low‑rank, the leader of this monkey… Awakened One is a Body System! His true combat power can match an ordinary War Star, and under certain conditions it can even surpass a War Star!"

Half boast, half concealment—after speaking, Qing Kai shouted at Lin An, signaling him to display his "strength".

"Lin An! Release your greatest power! Let Your Highness see your strength!"

"If you can earn Princess Ka Lian's favor, you might yet be able to join the Alliance!"

As the words fell, Lin An's expression behind his mask instantly turned strange.

Qing Kai's act was convincing; after his explanation, Ka Lian clearly became interested in him.

"Body System?"

"If it's a Fourth Stage Peak Body System, then it's barely useful."

She raised a hand to stop the guards behind her from pressing further, and Ka Lian slowly floated down from the platform, hovering above Lin An's head.

Seeing a flash of scorching flame ignite instantly, a layer of armor like flowing magma appeared around the girl in an instant.

"Come on, monkey."

"Attack me with your strongest power, so I can see whether you have the qualifications to become my servant."

Her tone was arrogantly extreme, yet such words from her mouth seemed utterly natural.

That was pride from the core, the arrogance of being the highest nobility of the Creator Alliance.

Hearing the girl grant him an opportunity as a favor, Lin An slowly lifted his gaze to her and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

He realized that Ka Lian's father likely held an extremely high position in the Creator Alliance, to the point that even Qing Kai, a Star Destroyer, could only bow and scrape. If he were an ordinary civilization survivor, he would surely be overjoyed and seize this chance.

But…

(Qualifications? Servant?)

Suppressing the faint killing intent in his heart, Lin An also couldn't be bothered with the girl's arrogance, intending only to finish this act.

Upon entering Starlight, he didn't mind refining that so‑called Princess into a rule imprint, and incidentally stripping her armor to give to Mo Ling as a toy.

He noticed that, after Mo Ling entered, she seemed very interested in this Red Armor Descendant.

"Your Highness, then be careful."

Unwilling to waste words, Lin An spoke softly, not waiting for Ka Lian's slight surprise.

The next second, Lin An instantly coiled and unleashed power, his whole body like a drawn war bow; his right fist suddenly shrouded in violent spiritual energy, and he threw a punch!

"Boom!!!"

Spiritual energy explosion!

So fast it was like an instant cast, giving Ka Lian no time to react at all!

Using about ten percent of his power, this punch shot forth like lightning; hearing a violent spiritual energy blast, in an instant a red‑blue explosion blossomed like a fusion reaction!

In less than 0.001 second, Ka Lian only felt a flash of light before her eyes, and an unimaginable force struck her like a warship impact, slamming her violently away!

"Crack crack!"

Amid the dense sound of shattering barriers, panicked roars rose one after another.

"Your Highness!? Protect Your Highness!!!"

"Bang!!!"

As if striking a bursting sun, even though Lin An used only one‑tenth of his normal strength, this punch still nearly blasted Ka Lian to pieces!

Violent gusts raged like a level‑10 storm in the hall; for a moment the scene descended into chaos—one side rushed to catch Ka Lian with the fastest fifth‑stage guards, while the other side stared in shock, Qing Kai's face paling.

"Lin An!? Are you crazy!!!"

In the mental transmission, after Qing Kai came to his senses, everyone was nearly scared numb!

To be honest, he didn't even know how strong Lin An truly was, but that punch made him feel Lin An was trying to seize the chance to kill!

Damn it! This monkey's full‑force combat power far exceeds the intelligence he gathered!

Lin An slowly lowered his fist, watching the angry fifth‑stage attackers lunging to take him down, and couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise.

He wasn't worried these people could threaten him. Especially since that punch wasn't even intended to kill.

What surprised him was that his strength seemed to have increased considerably, so the erupted power slightly exceeded his expectation.

"Not dead."

Lin An casually replied to Qing Kai, letting the guards charge at him.

As expected, the instant the few fifth‑stage chargers prepared to strike, a doubtful clear shout suddenly rang out:

"Come back!"

"Bang!!!"

At the shattered hall's wreckage, a cluster of red light erupted once more.

Like a phoenix reborn, in the scorching light, Ka Lian flew out of the dust, her eyes locked on Lin An, and she raised a hand to halt the many fifth‑stage fighters about to attack.

"Fourth Stage Peak Body? Peak spiritual energy? And rules nearing the peak?"

"Excellent!"

As the words fell, Ka Lian arrogantly raised her head, shoved aside the Fifth Stage guard who wanted to protect herself, and flew straight toward Lin An.

Her gaze was fiery; compared to the offense of Lin An's sneak attack, she cared more about the strength Lin An displayed!

Very strong!

Although in her heart, she was only blown away due to a momentary carelessness.

But the power Lin An just unleashed could absolutely rival a War Star!

Although as a descendant of the Red Armor she holds a lofty status, she also needs to prove herself and vie for resources! Being able to bring such a War Slave into Stellar Glory, she has a decent chance to break into the top 100!

"Your Highness! Be careful!"

"No problem!"

She flew straight to Lin An's front; unlike her previous contempt, this time Ka Lian actually regarded Lin An properly.

Ignoring the nervousness of the others Lin An brought, Ka Lian smiled and directly extended her arm toward Lin An.

"Is it Lin An?"

"You have gained my approval."

"Kiss the back of my hand, and I will bestow upon you supreme glory, making you one of my slaves."

The back of her hand was snow-white, as if shrouded in a faint glow.

In the envious eyes of the crowd, a blue flower-like pattern resembling a mental power seal instantly emerged from Ka Lian's body.
