The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 224 - 225: Admitting Defeat

In the building, Lin Qian and Ye Xin nestled together, sitting quietly in the courtyard, looking up above.

The courtyard where Lin Qian lived had been remodeled, not containing any water features, but everywhere else around and above the courtyard was still a vast sea.

Above them, one could even see schools of fish swimming by, and sunlight piercing through the water, creating a hazy, beautiful scenery.

Lin Qian softly shared with Ye Xin everything he had seen and heard these days.

At the same time, Ye Xin also slowly explained to Lin Qian the current situation of Coastal State.

After Lin Qian left, Coastal State remained orderly without any accidents.

Now, the whole Coastal State along with Origin State, being unified under the Huaxia Empire and with clear decrees forbidding acts of violence and random killings,

had brought about an age so peaceful that many people sincerely submitted to the Huaxia Empire.

Living under such power, there was no longer the need to be constantly fearful.

After all, in the past, it was possible that just by glancing at a powerful Soul Martial Artist, one could be killed out of the latter’s irritation.

Now, with the Imperial Army stationed in Coastal State and Origin State and the decrees being in force, no one dared to cause trouble.

However, Ye Xin initially worried that such a climate would make people too weak. If other states’ powers invaded in the future, what then?

And besides, not everything could depend on the Imperial Army. If the new citizens of the Huaxia Empire needed to take action but lacked sufficient strength, then what would they do?

In response to the questions raised by Ye Xin, Lin Qian pondered for a moment and then smiled, "That’s easy to handle. The Cultivation of the masses definitely won’t weaken. After their Realm increases, so does their lifespan—who could resist such temptation?"

"As for the combat strength, it’s very simple. As long as everyone maintains their practice, there will be no problem. In this regard, I will design something well, so you don’t need to worry, Xinxin," Lin Qian said as he gently patted Ye Xin’s shoulder, offering comfort.

Ye Xin nodded silently, smiling and saying, "Then I’ll wait for Little Qian’s good solution."

"Now, Xinxin’s task is to focus on Cultivation so that when the Ancient Human Clan heritage site opens, you can gain something," Lin Qian began, looking at Ye Xin. "At that time, I’ll have Zhuge Ming prepare suitable potions for you and modify the Cultivation Technique a bit."

Ye Xin gently nodded, taking whatever Lin Qian said as her guide.

Afterward, Lin Qian slowly transferred Soul Power into Ye Xin’s body, observing her internal condition. After obtaining the data, he would pass it on to Zhuge Ming of the Huaxia Empire for him to further improve the Cultivation Technique.

And also, according to Ye Xin’s condition, to prepare the corresponding potions.

Ye Xin was now also in the Sky Breaking Realm, only the process of accumulating Soul Power was quickening her rise through the realms.

Moreover, she didn’t have the conditions Lin Qian had and was unable to store Soul Power, making it impossible to use battle-induced breakthroughs.

The following day, the clan competition resumed, marking the start of the second round.

Above the spectating platform of the Eastern Division Clan, Zhang Zide and the others stared with wide eyes at the beautiful young woman by Lin Qian’s side, unable to speak for a long while.

"This must be Sister-in-Law?" The quickest to react was Li Yunfeng, who asked Lin Qian.

Lin Qian smiled and nodded, taking Ye Xin by his side and introducing her, "This is my fiancée Ye Xin, and the quota I sought from the two elders was for her."

"Hahaha, with Sister-in-Law’s looks and temperament, it’s no surprise that Brother Lin, you said Du Ziyue was deluding herself, indeed so," Zhang Zide immediately followed with a hearty laugh.

"Your Highness!" Zhang Qi, who had already met Ye Xin, also called out to her with a smile.

And beside Zhang Qi, Zhang Wenxuan curiously sized up Ye Xin.

Soon after, Zhang Wenxuan pulled Ye Xin aside for an eager chat, and bursts of crystal-clear laughter like silver bells rang out from time to time—after all, being women, of course they found common ground to talk about.

The competition resumed. On the Eastern Division Clan’s spectator platform, an intense debate once again broke out.

"Sister, how about we have a spirited debate?" Zhang Zide said with a smile to Ye Xin, his face exuding confidence.

"Hey, aren’t you being a bit too bullying?" Zhang Wenxuan, seeing this, shouted in dissatisfaction and pulled Ye Xin toward her, "Sister Ye, don’t bother with him."

In the end, Ye Xin simply chuckled and shook her head, signaling it was no bother, and accepted Zhang Zide’s challenge.

Seeing this, Zhang Qi looked at Zhang Zide with a face full of sympathy, shaking his head repeatedly.

After a long moment, Zhang Zide’s eight hands were stacked over his face as he crouched on the ground, body trembling.

Li Yunfeng retracted his astonished gaze from Ye Xin and crouched beside Zhang Zide, giving his body a shake, "Hey, you’re not crying from being abused, are you?"

"Heh heh..." Zhang Zide let go of his hands, and with reddened eyes, he stared at Li Yunfeng, "Do I look like I would cry? You’ve got to be joking."

At this moment, Zhang Wenxuan quickly came to Ye Xin’s side, grabbing her hand in amazement, "Sister Ye, you are so incredibly strong!"

"Of course, that’s only to be expected. Emperor Lin and Empress Ye are a couple, completely exceptional. Back then, I too lost to Empress Ye’s hands," Zhang Zide said and then sighed deeply.

Compared to Lin Qian’s dominating strength, Ye Xin was not completely without the power to fight back.

However, Ye Xin’s combat experience far surpassed that of Zhang Qi and, before long, she began to gain the upper hand, ultimately leading to his complete defeat.

It should be noted that Ye Xin had also spent a long time learning from Zhang Juncheng. Speaking solely of combat experience, she was only slightly less skilled than Lin Qian.

Zhang Zide’s realm was indeed much stronger than Ye Xin’s.

Yet to challenge her to a debate on combat experience was nothing short of asking for punishment.

So just now, Zhang Zide lost twenty-seven times in quick succession and felt extremely frustrated. His opponent was not only a woman but also his junior sister, which was utterly embarrassing.

Shortly thereafter, this round of competition also came to an end, and the red glow on the matchup board began to flicker again.

Unlike the first round, the second round featured two glowing red lights simultaneously, randomly selecting two people to go up for the match.

And when the red light finally stopped, Li Yunfeng’s expression changed sharply, and he abruptly turned to look at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian was currently looking at the pairing board, where the flickering red lights had already revealed two portraits.

One of them was himself. The other was also from the Human Clan and had an extremely strange name, consisting of just one character: Kill!

Lin Qian had noticed this Kill before in the competition, who had defeated opponents with a single move in the previous round.

Because this Kill had such strength, his realm was that of the Life and Death Realm, Power Realm!

"Brother Lin, you must be careful. There’s something strange about this Kill," said Li Yunfeng suddenly as Lin Qian prepared to enter the ring, seriously reminding him.

"Hm?" Hearing Li Yunfeng’s advice, Lin Qian looked at him with a puzzled expression, somewhat confused.

"This Kill, he likes to torture his opponents and torment them to death alive," Li Yunfeng said seriously, "If things look bad, give up immediately."
