The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 204 Lu Chen returns, three major candidates!
After the two people from Ziyun Sect left,

The atmosphere in the hall instantly grew tense. Numerous experts exchanged glances, their eyes filled with both fighting spirit and a hint of worry.

The Demon Emperor stepped forward and said, "Lord Mandala, the combined strength of the three overlords is formidable. This battle is a matter of life and death for the Tianluo Alliance. We must prepare early!"

Emperor Xia said in a deep voice, "That's right! Since the three overlords dared to propose this war, they must have something to rely on. We must not take it lightly!"

"The three gambling fights may seem like a test of strength, but in reality they are a test of foundation. Anyone who participates must be a leader in their realm to have a chance of winning."

"Although our Tianluo Alliance has many strong people, most of them have incomplete heritages, and it is difficult for us to match those overlord-level forces with deep foundations. They have a long heritage and a complete system, so I'm afraid they will be difficult to defeat."

The ancestor of all insects stroked his beard and sighed.

Mandala swept his gaze over the crowd and said firmly, "Don't worry, everyone. Although the three overlords are strong, our Tianluo Alliance is not weak either. During this period, the Tianhe River has been opened, and many promising talents have emerged."

"Let's discuss the next players to fight."

Upon hearing this, the hall instantly became quiet.

Everyone frowned, thinking carefully about the candidates who could appear under their own forces.

"My Yu'er recently broke through to the lower level of the Supreme Earth, and upgraded his Great Heavenly King Dharmakaya to the Heavenly Son Dharmakaya. He also cultivated a great magical power, the Heavenly Son Dragon Fist. Perhaps he can be a candidate for the first battle."

At this time, Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and spoke first.

"My young disciple has also broken through to the Lower Earth Supreme, and has followed the Alliance Leader to the Endless Fire Region. He has also mastered the techniques of a battle formation master and is now a three million pattern battle formation master. Combined with his insect control skills, he is also quite strong."

The ancestor of all insects stroked his beard, smiled calmly, and spoke in the same way.

"Three million battle array masters?"

"Hiss, isn't that comparable to the supreme peak powerhouses of the lower realms?"

"Senior Wan Chong is so lucky!"

Inside the hall, everyone was surprised when they heard the words of the Ten Thousand Insects Ancestor, and began to discuss among themselves in low voices.

Three million battle array masters are extremely rare in the entire Northern Territory. They are comparable to the supreme peak powerhouses in the lower realms. Even if they are willing to sacrifice blood and fight, they can exert even stronger combat power.

Mandala nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes. She said, "Senior Wan Chong's disciple is indeed extraordinary. Her battle formation skills are enough to determine the outcome of the first match. She can be selected as the first contestant in this gambling fight."

Hearing this, the Myriad Insects Ancestor stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Master Mandala, you are too kind. This is all thanks to the Alliance Leader's good training. I don't understand the methods of a battle formation master."

"Qingyin is blessed to receive guidance from the Lord Alliance Leader."

"Senior Wan Chong, you're too kind. It's all Qingyin's hard work. I just gave her some pointers and passed on a legacy. The key is that Qingyin's own understanding is amazing, far surpassing those blockheads."

At this moment, a young voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

Everyone was shocked to see the space in the hall fluctuate, and a slender young figure slowly emerged among the astonished gazes.

"Alliance leader!"

Everyone's expressions changed, and they all stood up and saluted towards the young figure.

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

Lu Chen smiled calmly, and without making any movement, everyone felt a gentle force pushing them back, a gentle yet irresistible force. Inside the hall, everyone felt the gentle yet irresistible force, their hearts trembling, and they looked at Lu Chen with even greater awe.

"The leader has become even stronger..."

Everyone said secretly in their hearts.

Lu Chen walked slowly to the center of the hall, his eyes sweeping over the crowd before finally landing on the Myriad Insects Ancestor. He smiled faintly and said, "Senior Myriad Insects, Qing Yin's talent is truly astonishing. Her ability to become a Three Million Pattern Battle Array Master is inseparable from your years of careful training. As for my guidance, it's merely the icing on the cake."

The Ten Thousand Insects Patriarch quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Alliance Master, you are too modest. If it weren't for the battle formation master inheritance you bestowed upon me, Qing Yin wouldn't have achieved what he has today. I merely provided some resources; the true credit lies with your discerning eye for talent."

Lu Chen smiled and said no more. He turned to look at Mandala and said, "Junior Sister, I just came back and I don't know much about everything. Aren't we preparing for a war with the Purple Cloud Sect? What are you discussing?"

Mandala's face turned serious, and he immediately explained in detail the three overlords' alliance and the gambling battle with the Tianluo Alliance.

"Has the bettor been chosen yet?"

After hearing this, Lu Chen nodded and asked.

"The first match has been decided. We've decided to send Senior Wan Chong's disciple, Su Qingyin."

"There's still no clue about the second and third games."

"Our Tianluo Alliance is still too shallow. We can only find a few outstanding people at the upper level of the Supreme Earth and the Great Perfection of the Supreme Earth."

Mandala frowned slightly and spoke slowly.

"Alliance leader, if you have reached the Great Perfection of the Earth Supreme Realm, I can join the battle. Recently, my natal spirit insect has advanced to the Great Perfection of the Earth Supreme Realm. With my cooperation, we can fight two against one and perhaps win this battle for the Tianluo Alliance."

At this time, the ancestor of all insects bowed and said respectfully.

Hearing this, everyone turned around to look, with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Both of them are Earth Supremes. Look at the master and disciple. One disciple is a three million pattern battle formation master, and the other is a natal spirit insect that has advanced to the Great Perfection of Earth Supreme. This kind of background is simply beyond the reach of others.

Upon hearing this, Mandala's eyes flashed with joy, and he nodded, "It would be great if Senior Wan Chong could join the battle. With your strength, and the cooperation of your natal spirit insect, you do have a great chance of winning."

The Myriad Insects Ancestor stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "It is an honor for me to contribute to the Tianluo Alliance. However, I can only fight in one match. I need to find other candidates for the remaining matches."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the people in the hall, and he said lightly: "Since the candidates for the third round have been decided, then the candidates for the second round will be decided by me."

"Although our Tianluo Alliance is not as strong as the three overlords, we still have some good talents, so we may be able to fight."

After saying that, Lu Chen waved his sleeves, and a space crack instantly appeared, and then healed in the blink of an eye.

Before everyone could react, they saw a tall young figure appear in the hall.

The young figure looked a little bewildered when he first appeared. But when he saw Lu Chen in the center of the hall, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on his face. He scratched his head and said, "Brother Lu, what's going on? I remember I was just in the Heavenly Palace studying the guardian spirit formation of the First Hall. How did I end up here in the blink of an eye?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly, his tone gentle but with a hint of teasing: "Xiao Mu, you kid, you bury yourself in studying the spirit array all day long, have you cultivated the immortal golden body?"

Hearing this, Muchen nodded and said, "Of course. It's been quite some time since I broke through to the Lower Earth Supreme. Brother Lu, is there anything you need from me?"
