**Chapter 1151: Perfect, I'll Use You to Test My Sword**

Outside the military's combat arena, more and more people gathered. The news that a fourth-tier True God was challenging a second-tier God King star beast spread at an astonishing speed.

The speed of light couldn't match the speed of this news, spreading exponentially.

Especially when it was known that the challenger was the top potential candidate in the Vermilion Bird Star Region, the news became even more explosive.

The scene became somewhat chaotic, but fortunately, the cultivators reacted quickly and soon maintained order spontaneously.

A large number of cultivators mingled together, starting to discuss fervently.

"I heard he was accused of faking military merits and had to challenge the star beast to prove his innocence."

"That's about right. I think the military has gone overboard in dealing with those who fake military merits, seeing shadows in every corner."

"Really, forcing someone to their death without evidence is a bit much."

"Actually, the military's actions aren't wrong. Faking military merits could endanger other cultivators. We shouldn't forget the past incidents."

"But this time, the military showed sincerity. If he can prove his innocence, they'll grant him an honorary title."

"The military doesn't lose anything. If he faked his merits, he dies in vain. If he didn't, and he's that strong, giving him an honorary title is like recruiting a top talent."

The discussions continued to reach Meng Gang's ears.

Some cultivators were quite critical of the military's approach.

Indeed, over the years, the military had made many efforts to stop the faking of military merits.

Some actions were indeed excessive, even offending some prominent families, causing numerous conflicts.

But overall, the issue of faking military merits was curbed, and the general trend was positive.

From the discussions, it was clear that most people still believed in the military's actions, thinking they were justified.

For those who faked military merits, severe punishment was necessary.

But the previous methods were too harsh, often crippling or disabling the offenders.

Perhaps in the future, a more lenient approach could be considered, changing the punishment methods.

Meng Gang decided to suggest to his superiors after this incident to consider changing their approach.

At this moment, a commotion arose in the crowd.

"Qian Huang is here!"

"He broke through to God King!"

"Impressive, he's only 200 years old. A 200-year-old God King, how terrifying."

"The Qian family has a successor. If Qian Huang continues like this, he might reach God Sovereign before 500."

Meng Gang looked up and saw Qian Huang flying over.

Qian Huang didn't hide his information, and the aura of a first-tier God King was dazzling.

Meng Gang could tell that Qian Huang had just broken through to God King, as his aura hadn't fully settled, and the laws around him were still surging like waves.

Qian Huang was the eldest son of the Qian family on the second star of the Vermilion Bird Star Region, a leading figure of the younger generation.

The Qian family was a God Sovereign family, with many God Sovereigns in the family.

In the Vermilion Bird Star Region, their influence was immense.

But the Qian family had a good reputation, with family members known for their righteousness and never bullying others.

The Qian family had high prestige in the Vermilion Bird Star Region, almost comparable to the domain master Zhu Tian.

Some even said that if Zhu Tian could successfully advance, the Qian family might be the next domain master.

Qian Huang, as the eldest son and a top talent, was likely to be the future successor of the Qian family.

Moreover, Qian Huang himself was a great talent, reaching Super God at just over 70, surpassing ordinary people.

Then, at 120, he reached True God.

Now, at less than 200, he became a God King.

Qian Huang had also spent many years on the battlefield, helping many people, earning him great popularity.

Many people made way for Qian Huang, allowing him to reach the front.

Qian Huang looked through the combat arena and saw Lin Moyu inside, whispering, "It's really him."

Someone nearby curiously asked, "Senior Brother Qian, do you know him?"

Qian Huang nodded, "He has done me a favor."

Wow!

Many people were stunned. Qian Huang, a God King, said Lin Moyu had done him a favor.

Even if it was a past favor, it was when Qian Huang was at the peak of True God.

A fourth-tier True God helping a peak True God?

This alone indicated Lin Moyu's strength from another perspective.

Qian Huang quickly understood the situation, glanced at Meng Gang, and said softly, "This is a bit much."

His words resonated with many, as indeed, some felt the military was overdoing it.

With evidence, everything would be fine.

But acting on mere suspicion was too much.

Qian Huang looked at Lin Moyu, who was calm in the combat arena.

Qian Huang recalled his brief encounter with Lin Moyu, realizing he hadn't fully grasped Lin Moyu's strength.

Lin Moyu's strength was far from what it appeared on the surface.

At that time, Lin Moyu could block Yu Qingrou's attack, not because of his looks, but because Yu Qingrou held back.

Later, he saw the potential list, with Lin Moyu's name at the top.

"Senior Brother Qian, do you think Lin Moyu will win?" someone asked.

Qian Huang pondered for a moment, "Junior Brother Lin's strength is unfathomable."

The four words "unfathomable" expressed Qian Huang's thoughts.

It showed he believed in Lin Moyu, thinking he wouldn't lose.

But a fourth-tier True God against a second-tier God King star beast was still hard to believe.

At this moment, a thunderous roar echoed through the starry sky.

The surrounding scene changed instantly, and the formation in the combat arena activated, expanding rapidly.

The scene transformed, making everyone feel like they were in the starry sky.

The combat arena disappeared, or rather, it simulated a real starry sky.

The starry sky was vast, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.

Lin Moyu stood in it, facing a massive star beast slowly emerging.

It was a star beast resembling a lion, over ten thousand meters in size, with a chain hanging from its body, clinking as it moved.

The chain was like a cage, binding it.

But at the same time, the chain was its weapon, capable of shattering stars.

In front of it, Lin Moyu was like an ant.

Even a single hair on its body was larger than Lin Moyu.

"A Prison Lion!"

Someone exclaimed, recognizing the star beast.

Qian Huang's tone was somber, "A second-tier God King Prison Lion can unleash third-tier God King power in a short time." At this moment, he wasn't so sure about Lin Moyu's chances.

The opponent was too strong.

Everyone held their breath, knowing the battle could start at any moment.

It might be a brutal fight. If Lin Moyu had the ability, he might last long. But victory...

Most people didn't think Lin Moyu could win.

After entering the combat arena, Lin Moyu lost contact with the outside world.

He couldn't even see the outside situation.

After waiting for a few minutes in the arena, the scene changed, transforming into the starry sky.

Then the Prison Lion appeared opposite him.

Amidst the roar, an invisible stench seemed to assault him, with the God King realm's pressure and cruelty enveloping him. Lin Moyu's eyes showed no fear, only excitement.

"Perfect, I'll use you to test my sword..."
