Although Bai Xiaowen and Meng Chuan's duel had ended, its impact ran deep, and the aftershocks of the event were far from settling.
Although Meng Chuan had been defeated, his standing within the Star Alliance had risen rather than fallen.
The Lords were all discerning people. Naturally, they could see that Meng Chuan's loss to Bai Xiaowen was not due to a lack of combat prowess. His ability to tame those unruly, chaotic, evil Demonkin had already greatly increased Heavenly Prefecture Territory's strength.
Many believed that Meng Chuan still deserved a place among the third-tier territories. The destructive power of a Demonkin army was basically unrivaled among all races, with only the Dragon Clan able to compare. But building a dragon legion was even more difficult, utterly unrealistic.
As for Bai Xiaowen, he had naturally refreshed everyone's understanding as well. With five great Lords as summoned creatures—Rageclaw had not revealed himself—a Command-type Lord like him was practically invincible in a one-on-one duel.
It should be noted that Lords who advanced from a Summoner Class could directly summon their subordinates during a duel and strike the opponent's military camp projection, gaining the initiative. However, this was also part of a Summoner Class Lord's strength and did not count as a violation.
Normally, the opposing Lord could rely on their own strength to block a Summoner Class Lord's summoned creatures and protect their own military camp projection.
But Bai Xiaowen had five Lord Tier summons, far more powerful than those of ordinary Summoner Class Lords, making that initiative advantage all the more impossible to counter.
Even a Top-tier Evolver Lord might be able to protect themselves against the combined assault of several Lords, but they would still struggle to keep their military camp projection from being attacked.
