"How is that possible?"
"How could a makeshift formation of rabble block a combined strike from my Spirit Force-coordinated Netherdemon Army?!"
"Is Lu Wang's command ability really that much stronger than mine?"
"He's only level eleven! Are Lord Tier Command-type Evolvers really that powerful?!"
Li Chun stared at Bai Xiaowen amid the crowd. His expression shifted, shock churning inside him.
He did not know that Bai Xiaowen had used a Hero 5A-Tier Insight Orb, together with his extraordinary talent, to break through in the first volume of Taigong's Art of War and reach level twelve.
At level eleven, Bai Xiaowen would not have had the Array Deployment skill.
Of course, a level-twelve Command-type Evolver holding his own against level-thirteen Li Chun and his well-trained elite troops showed just how powerful Taigong's Art of War was. Even among Lord Tier class manuals, it stood at the top.
Bai Xiaowen's contribution to the Grand Unification war had been immense! But an Awakener promoted to Evolver could receive a class manual with a priority rating of seven at most, so Bai Xiaowen had received a Lord Tier manual. Otherwise, his achievement in ending the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, proclaiming himself emperor, and founding a nation would have been worthy of King Tier.
Though frightened, Li Chun had no choice but to press on. Li Yan was still atop Ironblood Cliff.
Li Yan himself was nothing special, but his parentage was crucial—he was the Black Heaven Cult leader's only son!
Neither Li Yan's cunning nor his strength qualified him to be the Black Heaven Cult's holy son. Only his luck in being born to the right father had won him that special position.
If Li Chun abandoned Li Yan, the cult leader would be furious.
"Netherdemon Army, three steps forward!" Li Chun shouted
