The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 206 - 207 Chain Explosions

After diving into the water, Lin Qian closely followed Zhang Nianxin, descending into the depths.

However, unlike the sacred city of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan, the venue for this clan meeting was not deep underwater, but just a few tens of feet below the surface.

Just entering the water, Lin Qian could already clearly see the massive Coral Island in the distance, bustling with various buildings and moving figures.

Since it was not meant for living, the buildings on Coral Island were not constructed from Sea Blue Crystal. Instead, they were made from azure gold paired with Sea Light Stones.

Azure gold was an extremely sturdy type of seabed metal. Platforms built with it, enhanced by arrays, were not easily damaged.

Sea Light Stones emitted a brightness far stronger than Sea Blue Crystals. Combined with the intense sunlight beaming down underwater, the entirety of Coral Island was even brighter than on land.

While swimming towards the large Coral Island, Lin Qian had already surveyed its layout.

Around the perimeter of Coral Island, there was a circular street lined with small mansions made of azure gold and Sea Light Stones, presumably for temporary residence.

And in the center of this circular arrangement, there was a vast platform, covering a vast area, almost the size of the small city of Bashan City in Coastal State.

On reflection, such a size for the platform seemed appropriate.

After all, the Eight-Armed Sea Clan members participating in the clan meeting, as well as their human allies, all had cultivation levels no less than the Sky Breaking Realm, with exceptional combat strength.

If the platform were too small, it would restrict their performance and prevent a proper contest.

Such a spacious platform allowed for unrestricted performance.

Upon arriving on Coral Island, dedicated clan members were there to guide them to their temporary residences.

"Eastern Division Clan Leader, I assume you’re quite familiar with the rules of the clan meeting. The only difference this year is that it allows the assistance of a human ally," someone said.

"Eastern Division Clan itself has five places. The clan meeting officially starts at noon, and match-ups will be drawn. Please submit your confirmed places to me," they continued.

After leading Lin Qian and others to their destination, this member of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan speaking to Zhang Nianxin.

Zhang Nianxin, as the leader of the Eastern Division Clan, was already very familiar with the procedure and took out a token, handing it over.

The member of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan took the token, infused it with Soul Power, and immediately, six names appeared.

Among these, five names were of the Eastern Division Clan members participating, and the other was Lin Qian.

After confirming there were no errors, the clan member of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan bid farewell to Zhang Nianxin and left the mansion.

With the other party gone, Lin Qian and the others casually chatted in the front courtyard, quietly waiting for the clan meeting to start.

"Is the clan meeting of your Eight-Armed Sea Clan conducted by one-on-one challenges on the platform?" Lin Qian asked Zhang Nianxin curiously while standing next to her.

During the journey, Lin Qian had been focused on his cultivation and had rarely spoken with Zhang Nianxin, even not fully understanding the details of this clan meeting.

Zhang Nianxin nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, the key of the clan meeting is in the one-on-one confrontations on the platform. However, there are other specific tasks as well, along with a special task."

"Oh? The major tasks and a special task?" Lin Qian expressed, continuing to inquire curiously.

"Yes, after the places are reported, pairs will be drawn at noon to begin the challenges. The one-on-one challenges have always been a highlight of the clan meetings, followed by the three major tasks."

"The three major tasks consist of Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Array competitions."

"The final special task involves team competitions between two members of the participating clans, including human allies, in a two-on-two format," she explained.

"After all, following the clan meeting, we face ancient human relics, where both the Sea Clan and Human Clan will enter together, definitely requiring mutual cooperation. Before that, it might be good to test this aspect," Zhang Nianxin explained further.

Having finished her explanation, Lin Qian nodded as if he understood.

Then suddenly, Zhang Nianxin exclaimed with excitement, "Your Majesty Lin, I have an unconventional request. I wonder..."

Seeing Zhang Nianxin hesitant to continue, Lin Qian smiled and said, "If there’s anything, Clan Leader Zhang, please speak directly. If I can be of help, I will surely lend a hand."

"Hahaha, Your Majesty Lin is indeed generous," Zhang Nianxin laughed and asked, "Could Your Majesty perhaps take a bit more effort and also represent our Eight-Armed Sea Clan in the major tasks of Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Array competitions?"

Upon hearing Zhang Nianxin’s words, Lin Qian’s smile froze: "Ah?"

However, Zhang Nianxin didn’t notice Lin Qian’s expression and continued to praise him.

"Your Majesty Lin, with your overwhelming talent and formidable strength, it is presumed that you can effortlessly handle Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Arrays," he praised.

"I am not flattering Your Majesty unduly, but your talent is truly frightening. With your assistance, perhaps our Eastern Division Clan could also emerge on top in these three tasks," Zhang Nianxin said.

These words attracted the attention of Zhang Qi and other members of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan, who all moved closer and nodded in agreement.

"Wait!" Amidst the compliments, Lin Qian felt overwhelmed and suddenly shouted, making everyone quiet down.

When everyone had stopped talking and looked his way, he said helplessly, "I... don’t know Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and I am utterly clueless about Arrays."

"Impossible?" Upon hearing Lin Qian’s response, everyone exclaimed in disbelief, unable to believe their ears.

"To be honest, I have disheartened many in this aspect because whenever I attempt Alchemy, the Pill Furnace explodes; when refining artifacts, the furnace explodes; when setting up an Array, it causes chain explosions..."

"Therefore, my companions have forbidden me from trying Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Arrays," he concluded.

After finishing, Lin Qian spread his hands with an innocent look on his face: "I’m afraid I really can’t assist in those three tasks. I fear I’d end up killing the other contestants right on the spot."

"..."

Zhang Nianxin and others were stunned as they stared at Lin Qian, who they had thought to be invincible. They hadn’t expected this...

After a moment, the group couldn’t help but laugh, each imagining the hilarious scenario of sequential explosions during Array setups.

"If that’s the case, let’s drop it then. It seems even Your Majesty Lin has his weak points, hahaha," Zhang Nianxin finally conceded, gesturing dismissively.

And as the laughter filled the air, noon drew closer, and the clan meeting of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan approached gradually.

Lin Qian was about to showcase his might just outside Coastal State!
