Chapter 1963 Your body is under my command, my fate rests on your sword! Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty!
As the "patriarchs" standing at the top of the world, which one of them didn't control massive resources and have a huge force under their command?
Even if you're reluctant to use the resources in your own territory, can't you just "borrow" some from other races?
It's not like we don't have the ability.
Therefore, the frequency of the Holy Grail War depends entirely on the organizers' wishes and how much resources they are willing to invest in "recharging" the Holy Grail.
Clearly, those ancestors were very interested in the "Holy Grail War," which prompted them to spend heavily to shorten the cooldown time of the Holy Grail and start a new round of the "game" as soon as possible.
The richest man in the lighthouse: "Being able to transform resources that are useless to oneself into the energy to drive the Holy Grail, thereby fulfilling a wish of considerable value."
The richest man in the city said: "Even without considering the fun and competitiveness of the Holy Grail War itself, from the perspective of investment return alone, this is a very worthwhile deal."
The richest man in the lighthouse said: "However, for those top powerhouses in your world who are called 'Ancestors,' the energy resources required to fulfill their desires that can significantly benefit them would probably reach an astronomical figure."
The richest man in the country said: "However, even so, it is still a very valuable investment to nurture promising young people or to acquire things that are useful to them."
Tony completely understood why those "patriarchs" in Su Yunqing's world would frequently initiate the "Holy Grail War"; anyone else would have done the same.
There are many useless resources, but very few useful ones.
If one can exchange useless resources for useful ones, even if the value of both parties is equal, no one will refuse.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the equivalent value meant they made a huge profit.
An ordinary group admin: "That's right, that's exactly the point!"
An ordinary group owner said: "Except for me, who has a 'cheat code', take Liu Hongxuan as an example. The 'Xiang Yu Armor' he got from his last wish directly increased his strength, and he can basically do whatever he wants among the younger generation."
An ordinary group owner said: "Those guys like Qin Hongtian, who used to be far stronger than him, are no match for Liu Hongxuan when he's wearing armor. He beats them like it's nothing."
An ordinary group owner said, "It could even allow him to fight across borders!"
An ordinary group owner said: "With his original cultivation level, he could fight against opponents of a higher level after putting on the armor. Although he couldn't last long, it was still quite outrageous."
An ordinary group admin: "The most crucial thing is that the armor is 'upgradable'!"
An ordinary group owner said: "Although the growth limit is tied to his cultivation level, and the growth process requires consuming a large amount of specific metals and rare mineral resources, the 'growth potential' attribute determines its infinite value."
Su Yunqing couldn't help but get excited when she talked about the "Xiang Yu armor".
After all, she was truly humiliated by Liu Hongxuan, who was using the "Xiang Yu Armor".
Even though she was significantly stronger than Liu Hongxuan at the time, she still couldn't defeat him despite the "Xiang Yu Armor" buff.
She hadn't expected to lose the Holy Grail War.
She's a veteran Master!
Although her strength increased greatly afterward, far surpassing Liu Hongxuan, she still hasn't forgotten the dark history of being humiliated by Liu Hongxuan back then.
If she's like this, then others are even more so.
There's simply no one among the younger generation who can fight Liu Hongxuan. Qin Hongtian and his group used to be evenly matched with Liu Hongxuan, even going to a 60-40 split, but now they're instantly killed with a single strike.
Their invincible aura has been cultivated.
This time, it wasn't just her; everyone else was also thinking of avenging their previous defeats, winning the "Holy Grail War," and then wishing for an even stronger weapon.
Turning Daigo into soup: "So when will this Holy Grail War begin?"
He boiled Daigo into soup: "Can we do a live stream?"
Daigo asked curiously.
He was quite curious about the Holy Grail War that Su Yunqing and his team were organizing.
Actually, he was quite curious last time. He wanted to know the strength of the heroic spirit that Xiang Yu had transformed into in the Holy Grail created by Bai Xuan, which was why Su Yunqing had been marveling at it until now.
Even other heroic spirits were no match for Xiang Yu in a one-on-one duel.
However, Su Yunqing remained unwilling to upload the memory copy.
So if he could watch it live this time, he would really like to.
An ordinary group admin: "Hmph, now!"
An ordinary group admin: "Why do you think I'm saying this in the chat group right now? It's because the Holy Grail War is about to start again!"
An ordinary group admin: "I've secured both the 'hosting rights' and the 'participation rights' for this event!"
Su Yunqing said in the chat group with her hands on her hips.
And then the next second.
[Ding, the group owner has started the live stream.]
A live stream window popped up in the chat group interface, and all the group members clicked on it.
In the scene, Su Yunqing is in a spacious indoor space.
The ground was paved with a special material that shimmered with a metallic luster, and was engraved with a huge and complex circular magic circle. The lines of the magic circle flowed with a faint magical glow.
The walls are inlaid with crystals that provide a stable source of magic power, and the air is filled with spiritual energy.
She stood in the center of the magic circle, wearing a ceremonial dark robe with a hood, and waved to the live broadcast camera with an excited smile on her face.
"Are you all inside?"
"Get ready to witness me summon the strongest Heroic Spirit in history!"
"Xiang Yu? I admit he was somewhat capable, but now it's a new Holy Grail War, and I will summon a Heroic Spirit even stronger than him."
"First Emperor, I've chosen you!"
As Su Yunqing spoke, she slowly raised her right hand, and the vast spiritual power within her body began to surge and converge towards her palm.
At first, it was just a faint point of light, but it quickly intensified, illuminating the entire summoning room with a radiance like the sun. Even through the live stream, the group members could feel the powerful energy.
She raised her head and recited aloud:
[Announcement!]
Its base is made of silver and iron, and its foundation is made of stone and the great covenant of the covenant.
The surging winds are blocked by four walls, closing the doors on all sides.
Release yourself from the crown and wander at the crossroads leading to the kingdom!
[Be full! Be full! Be full! Be full! Be full!]
The cycle repeats itself, then five times; however, the moment of fullness is the moment of abandonment!
As the incantation progressed, the light of the magic circle grew brighter and brighter, with countless points of light rising from the lines of the magic circle and slowly rotating around Su Yunqing.
[Announcement!]
Your body is under my command, my fate rests on your sword!
[If you wish to obey the Holy Grail's call, and follow this will and reason, then answer it!]
I hereby swear an oath!
I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in this world, and I am the one who spreads all evil in this world!
【You are the guardian of Libra, bound by the three great incantations for seven days, originating from the Wheel of Restraint.】
"boom!!!"
The blazing white light suddenly contracted inward, as if swallowed by an invisible black hole.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable sense of majesty and weight, as if carrying the immense aura of the mountains and rivers, erupted from the center of the contracting light like a tsunami!
The light faded, revealing the figure at the center of the summoning circle.
The newcomer wore a crown with tassels hanging down to the sky, and a black robe with a crimson skirt. The twelve imperial symbols were faintly visible on the robe, and a yellow and red sash was worn at the waist.
The solemn and majestic imperial robes with twelve imperial symbols signify that the emperor has reached the highest status among humankind.
The tassel beads swayed slightly, and the gaze behind them seemed peaceful and gentle at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was as unfathomable as the deep sea, carrying a calm confidence that understood the ways of the world and weighed fate.
He didn't exude a fierce aura, but his presence, which seemed to say "all land under heaven belongs to the king," enveloped the entire space like an invisible field of order.
Behind him, the faint phantom of the land and its people flowed, surrounded by dragon energy, exuding a profound aura of establishing the dynasty and nurturing the people.
Su Yunqing was somewhat stunned; it really was an emperor.
Could it be that she was actually summoned by Qin Shi Huang?
But it doesn't seem quite right.
The emperor in his crown robes slightly raised his head, looked at Su Yunqing, and said with a light laugh:
"Having been summoned, though this body is a projection of the Throne of Heroes, having donned this crown, this robe, and this name, I should do my utmost for the 'order' of this world."
"I am Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty."
"For now, I will appear in the world as 'Saber'."
"Young lady, since you have summoned me here, let me see how much of the heroes of this world are worth in this game of chess."
Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was born here!
Meanwhile, in the Qin family of the capital.
Qin Hongtian stood solemnly in the center of the summoning array. Just like the live stream on Su Yunqing's side, he was surrounded by many elders, peers, and even younger members of the Qin family watching.
Although this wasn't the first time the Holy Grail War had been held, apart from the very first one, the ancestors hadn't let them see the process on the other occasions; they only knew who was summoned.
Therefore, Qin Hongtian's summoning ceremony, which was granted the qualification to be summoned once again, naturally attracted the attention of the entire Qin family.
The viewing stands around the training ground were already packed with people.
Their eyes were filled with curiosity, envy, and even a hint of barely perceptible competition.
The entire space was completely silent, except for the sound of the array operating.
Qin Hongtian stood at the center of the formation, seemingly oblivious to the gazes around him; his figure was as upright as a pine tree, his face resolute, and a hint of composure between his brows.
In the last Holy Grail War, he summoned Qin Qiong, whose name as a door god resounded throughout the ages, and whose mace technique was said to be unparalleled in the world.
After seeing Qin Shubao's experience, he thought he was invincible. He never expected that the Xiang Yu summoned by Liu Hongxuan would have such exaggerated stats.
Even Qin Qiong was defeated in a fair one-on-one duel.
The history before the revival of spiritual energy was so fascinating that even someone like Qin Qiong, with his extraordinary experiences, was not "invincible" in the grand scheme of history.
It's truly unimaginable.
However, he also reflected on himself, realizing that he had indeed been too reckless last time, blinded by the pride of the Heroic Spirits and the excitement of the scene, and failed to play the strategic role that a Master should play.
"This time, under no circumstances should we repeat the same mistake."
Qin Hongtian silently recited the mantra, then raised his hands, palms down, and poured his abundant spiritual power into the shimmering array beneath his feet.
"Awaken me, heroic spirits!"
The intense will in his heart transformed into invisible ripples, resonating with the system of the Holy Grail.
The magic circle suddenly brightened, and countless silver-blue runes, like awakened stars, emerged from the ground and the air, spinning rapidly around him, forming a three-dimensional and magnificent energy vortex.
A low gasp of surprise rippled through the viewing platform, and many young people widened their eyes, wanting to see more clearly.
The array's light grew brighter and brighter, finally transforming into a pillar of light several meters in diameter with a loud "boom".
Within the pillar of light, strange phenomena appeared one after another.
First came the rapid, rain-like sound of horses' hooves approaching from afar, as if ten thousand riders were galloping; then came the long, desolate sound of horns, carrying the scent of desert winds and sand.
The crisp sound of metal clashing, the clanging of armor rubbing together, the hum of bowstrings vibrating.
The sounds of various battlefields intertwined and converged, ultimately coalescing into an invincible, sharp will that seemed capable of piercing through all obstacles!
This will is so clear, so domineering, carrying the unique arrogance and fearlessness of youth, yet containing the iron will and ruthlessness of a survivor of countless battles.
Like a drawn sword, a spear aimed at the enemy chief's throat, with a clear objective and unwavering determination!
The beam of light lasted for about ten breaths before it began to contract inward, and the chilling battlefield sounds gradually subsided.
Finally, all the radiance faded and converged at the center of the formation.
A figure became clearly visible.
He stood there, his posture as upright as a javelin, as if he were born to pierce something.
His face was extremely young, looking no more than twenty, or even more immature, but his eyes instantly erased all illusions about his age.
His eyes were bright as cold stars, his gaze sharp as a hawk's, and his every glance was full of spirit, brimming with an almost arrogant confidence and youthful vigor.
But if you look closely into the depths of his eyes, you can find that beneath that sharpness lies a calm killing intent forged in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a composure that commands thousands of troops and holds the power of life and death.
He was dressed in a dark black military uniform, the material of which was unknown. It appeared light and close-fitting, yet it subtly exuded a metallic luster and a tough texture.
On the left side of his waist hung an ancient Han sword. The scabbard was plain, yet it exuded a sense of solemnity.
On the right, however, hangs a strangely shaped curved short sword, its arc ferocious, carrying a distinct exotic style and a bloody aura, as if it were a trophy snatched from a powerful opponent, showcasing its battle achievements and ferocity.
But what is most striking is what he is holding in his hand.
It was a long, jet-black pole, its texture resembling wrought iron, yet possessing a warm, jade-like quality.
At the top of the long pole, instead of a sharp blade, was attached a banner that fluttered in the wind!
On the flag, light and shadow constantly shift and change: sometimes revealing the desolate scene of lone smoke rising from the desert and the setting sun over the long river; sometimes outlining the magnificent outline of towering snow-capped mountains and boundless seas.
In the shadows, countless illusory figures of iron cavalry charged and fought, their chilling aura overwhelming.
At the end of the flagpole is an unusually sharp, three-sided armor-piercing cone, gleaming coldly.
The young general's gaze swept over Qin Hongtian and the surrounding environment, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, but more so, an eager excitement.
"I have answered the call. My class is Lancer."
"I am Huo Qubing. I have come here to witness the grand event of heroes vying for supremacy! But I wonder, among the heroes of today, is there anyone who can withstand my might?"
The champion, Huo Qubing! Arrives as a Lancer!
