Chapter 703: The Absolute Master

The recent defeats suffered by the Huaxia Empire had left its people feeling dejected and filled with unease.

They knew that losing a few small battles might not seem like much, but if they continued to lose, the entire Huaxia Empire—and by extension, the entire Soul Martial Continent—would be destroyed.

Thus, Lin Qian’s return brought immense relief to the people, especially the Huaxians in the Southern Region, who felt their hearts settle.

Having witnessed Lin Qian’s legendary feats, they knew just how powerful the Huaxia Empire was with Lin Qian at the helm.

Moreover, Lin Qian had mentioned that the Huaxia Empire would soon receive reinforcements from the mysterious relic space of the ancient Huaxia Empire.

Everyone eagerly awaited their arrival.

Gradually, the Huaxians in various battlefields began to notice the appearance of unfamiliar faces in the cities.

The armor worn by these new faces was the same as the standard Huaxia Empire gear they were already familiar with—the same armor worn by the Imperial Army and the Beast Army.

The dwarves had also learned from the Fireworks Department and attempted to create similar armor for themselves, although the quality had initially been inferior. However, their craftsmanship improved over time, and their armor quality had reached commendable levels, though still different from that of the Imperial Army.

They had come to appreciate the benefits of powerful soul armor.

However, those who joined the Huaxia Empire later realized that the soul armor they wore paled in comparison.

The Huaxians from the Southern Region—whether human or other races—wore gear obtained from dungeons, which was the real deal. Their armor was only worn by Huaxia's top generals, and the envy it evoked was palpable.

Especially impressive were the full sets of soul armor, which offered special enhancement effects when worn together, something many aspired to achieve.

Many had already made plans, promising themselves that if they survived the war, they would definitely try out the Huaxia Empire's dungeon system to experience it firsthand.

The arrival of these unfamiliar Imperial soldiers was clearly the reinforcements they had been waiting for.

But unlike the previous Imperial Army, these reinforcements had armor that was no longer just simple gray or black. Each piece of armor was adorned with intricate colored patterns.

Some of the soldiers had gold patterns, while others had fiery red markings, each hue different from the next, creating an intriguing sight.

And the aura emanating from these vast numbers of Imperial soldiers was overwhelmingly that of the Transcendence Realm!

Those stationed in the cities watched the incoming reinforcements with speechless excitement.

All across the Soul Martial Continent, there was an outburst of emotion. The Western Continent's newly joined races, overcome with joy, shouted in excitement, unable to contain their feelings as they beheld the Imperial Army.

Had the number of Transcendence Realm soldiers been in the thousands or tens of thousands, they might have been able to restrain their excitement.

But the Transcendence Realm Imperial soldiers had arrived in numbers as vast as 100,000 to 200,000.

As the Imperial Army and Beast Army spread out and merged with the stationed Huaxians, they immediately launched an attack, charging toward the undead army without hesitation.

In Xinghai Province, Tong Zixuan stood solemnly on the deck of his flying warship, staring at the large island ahead—Star Island, once the largest island in the chaos of the Xinghai Sea, now completely occupied by the undead army.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Tong Zixuan swallowed nervously, turning to look at the newly arrived reinforcements—the Imperial Army’s Strongfeather and Lightfeather units.

Compared to the Strongfeather and Lightfeather units he had seen before, Tong Zixuan noticed that the most significant difference in these soldiers was the fiery red patterns etched into their soul armor, and their pupils glowed red as well.

Though they were still some distance from Star Island, Tong Zixuan saw the Strongfeather and Lightfeather units step forward, drawing their massive bows.

In the next moment, their bows began to glow with the pale yellow soul force of the Huaxia attribute, a sight Tong Zixuan had grown familiar with.

He knew that the Imperial Army and Beast Army both cultivated Huaxia attribute soul force, which allowed them to coordinate perfectly in battle.

But what happened next left him utterly stunned. The bows of the Strongfeather and Lightfeather soldiers suddenly ignited with flames—clearly, their Huaxia attribute soul force had merged with fire attribute soul force.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Enormous fiery arrows from the Strongfeather unit and a rain of fire arrows from the Lightfeather unit shot toward Star Island from above.

Boom!

As the fiery arrows from the Strongfeather soldiers struck the island, massive explosions erupted, filling the air with deafening roars as they detonated one after another.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Meanwhile, the Lightfeather soldiers’ fire arrows created a barrage of small explosions, turning Star Island into a sea of flames. The only sound to be heard was the continuous sound of explosions.

Not a single member of the undead army, which occupied the largest territory in Xinghai Province, was able to escape the inferno. The immense fire arrows from the Strongfeather unit rained down continuously on the island, each arrow exploding with tremendous force.

The Lightfeather soldiers’ arrows ensured that no part of Star Island was left unscathed. Even if the undead hid in the gaps between the explosions, there was no escape from their deadly onslaught.

Tong Zixuan swallowed hard, turning back to look at the 100,000 Strongfeather and Lightfeather soldiers behind him—100,000 Transcendence Realm soldiers.

And he knew that these 100,000 soldiers had carefully controlled their power to avoid sinking Star Island with their attacks.

What Tong Zixuan didn’t realize was that the Earth Spirit, Fire Xuan Yan, had already reinforced the ground beneath the island, greatly increasing its durability with her Earth Spirit powers.

The Strongfeather and Lightfeather soldiers weren’t holding back out of fear of sinking the island. They were worried that the collateral damage from the battle would accidentally kill Tong Zixuan, the emperor’s only disciple.

In the Huaxia Palace, Lin Qian had activated the National War Mode, while Ye Xin stood behind him, watching in awe.

The countless images and data on the war screen dazzled her, and she was amazed at how Lin Qian was able to sift through the overwhelming information and identify the key points to control the battlefield.

Even more astonishing was the fact that after Lin Qian made his decisions, Ye Xin realized that simply relocating two of the most intense battle areas had led to the instant destruction of 10,000 undead.

For Ye Xin, this was her first time witnessing Lin Qian's true gift—his extraordinary talent for battlefield control.

In his previous life, Lin Qian was an ordinary person, but in gaming, he had successfully led Huaxia Empire to victory against the combined forces of the entire Fantasy Empire. Now, as a powerful Soul Martial practitioner, his natural gift for battlefield command had been amplified to an unparalleled level.

He was the absolute master of control.
