Chapter 95

But after being bullied by Chen Ping for so many years, he could not allow himself to flee shamefully in front of Chen Ping.

Even if he won first place in another district, it could not replace this sense of humiliation.

Yet tonight, Wang Ke himself was also emotionally stirred.

He felt that years of restraint were finally about to bring victory.

After tonight, he, Wang Ke, would turn a new page in his life.

"Advance!"

Wang Ke waved his hand dramatically.

This place was only twenty li from the low hill; he could no longer wait.

The army immediately marched forward, the sound of footsteps and hooves once again echoing across heaven and earth.

On the low hill, Chen Ping closed his eyes slightly to rest.

One hundred and forty Black Tortoise Guards automatically adjusted their positions according to the enemy's approach.

Ensuring they stood directly at the forefront of the enemy's core formation.

The shield guards behind began reorienting, driving massive shields deep into the ground.

Archers began their final warm-up exercises.

Mages and sorcerers and other magic users started adjusting their skill combinations.

At this moment, Huang Qi also arrived on horseback at the low hill.

He was still his usual lazy self, slumped on the saddle as if he might fall off at any moment.

Without any tools, he directly cast an Eagle Eye spell.

"Whoa, look at that formation."

"Chen Ping, are you even capable? If not, I'll go back first and carry the Spirit Grain Hall away to escape!"

Huang Qi shouted toward Chen Ping.

His words drew discontent from others, but the fellow paid no mind.

Chen Ping opened his eyes and glanced over in his direction.

"Stop talking nonsense. As a member of Tianqu, if you retreat without fighting, I'll kill you first."

His calm words made Huang Qi instantly stiffen.

The boy pouted and led his few Spirit Souls to the very front.

"Seriously, you can't even take a joke—how can you be an alliance leader with this attitude?"

Huang Qi pulled out a golden staff glowing with radiant light; the magical energy surging from it indicated an extremely high grade.

After drawing the staff, Huang Qi became the brightest thing on the low hill.

Literally.

"Did none of you eat?!?!?"

"How dare you make this great man wait so long?!?!?"

"Come here and die already!!!"

Huang Qi's voice, amplified by magic, carried far and wide like thunder rolling across the sky!

86: 【Bonus Chapter 1】 Tianqu Alliance's Stance! Only War and Annihilation!

Oh my!

Among the allied army advancing with fierce momentum, several lords immediately had their blood pressure spike.

Previously, seeing Huang Qi ranting on public chat was just text—no matter how brutal, it was still just words.

Now hearing his voice in person was triple the shock!

They couldn't believe such an unbearable sound existed in this world!

And this guy was a magic expert—his voice-amplifying spell even echoed back!

High notes sweet, mid tones precise, low tones deep.

Even his own allies couldn't help but stare.

Chen Ping could only laugh and sigh inwardly, wondering how this person had been raised to be like this.

Huang Qi was not very old—probably only thirteen or fourteen.

If he were in the outside world, he'd likely be an uncontrollable brat.

Only because he was on their side did Chen Ping manage to restrain himself; otherwise, he'd have already struck him down.

Looking at the enemy army, their speed visibly surged, even abandoning formation.

All the effort Wang Ke had spent building this situation was shattered in an instant by Huang Qi's few careless words.

In contrast, the silent Black Tortoise Guards and shield guards on the low hill stood like towering mountains, radiating overwhelming pressure.

As the distance between both sides narrowed, the allied army's momentum gradually faded.

The closer they drew to the low hill, the heavier the oppression they felt.

There were only a few hundred people—no more than a thousand soldiers stationed on the low hill.

Yet for some reason, they simply couldn't muster any courage.

If there were an morale bar, it would be clear the allied army's morale was plummeting.

While Tianqu Alliance's remained eternally stable.

Wang Ke noticed this too; gritting his teeth, he finally had to step forward.

"Hold firm! Hold firm!"

"Everyone! Hold your ground!"

Wang Ke shouted loudly as he galloped his horse.

After he emerged, the allied army finally found their anchor and slowly calmed down.

"Lord Wang Ke, please avenge us!"

"Lord Wang Ke, we beg you!"

Many shouted loudly, and Wang Ke responded with perfect cooperation.

He had several powerful lords from the allied army step forward with him, leading them at the forefront of the main force.

They advanced toward the low hill, with tens of thousands of soldiers behind them.

Everyone felt their blood boiling.

The feeling of having an endless army at your back while standing alone ahead filled each man with intoxicating awe.

Yet at this very moment, as if in response to their advance,

The Black Tortoise Guards on the low hill parted, and a silver glow slowly emerged from behind.

Riding a silver-white White Qilin, Chen Ping's expression was calm, letting the silver-white White Qilin carry him leisurely forward to the very front.

Under the night sky, he instantly replaced the flashy Huang Qi as the center of attention.

Every lord who saw the silver-white White Qilin could not help but show expressions of envy and awe.

The silver-white White Qilin's posture was simply too proud, too sacred.

This made Chen Ping, seated upon it, seem even more lofty and distant!

None of the lords present—not even Wang Ke—owned a bizarre mount.

In the early development stage, no one was so wasteful as to spend resources on a mount.

Everyone wanted to pour every bit of power into territory development.

This made Chen Ping's uniqueness even more striking.

This was the number one on the leaderboard.

This was the powerhouse who led by a thousand points from the very start, and reached six thousand points before halfway through the evaluation!

This was the lord twice specially announced by the major district!

He was the leader of Tianqu!

The strongest in the East District—and indeed, the entire Trial World!

Chen Ping's calm gaze swept directly over them all.

Though separated by a great distance, everyone felt as if his gaze had touched them personally.

Every lord lowered their head under his gaze, unable to meet his eyes.

Even Wang Ke involuntarily bowed his head.

When he realized what he had done, his face flushed crimson, veins bulging in his eyes as if ready to burst.
