”Master Geng Jiu, I admit, my voice was a bit loud just now.”

A high-ranking member of the Yuwen family, a dignified Tier Seven Spirit Contract Master, slid to his knees in front of Han Zhan, speaking sincerely.

He had learned the saying ”a true man can bend and stretch” by heart.

The other high-ranking members quickly caught on and followed suit.

In an instant, people were kneeling all around Han Zhan.

To an outsider, it would seem like some elder was celebrating a grand birthday.

Among those present, only Chen Tao and the neutral Elder Bing were still standing.

That’s right, even Sun Yun was on his knees.

His reaction was a half beat slower than the Yuwen family, but he was the second to kneel.

Chen Tao’s face turned ashen.

What’s going on? In the blink of an eye, all his allies were kneeling?

Kneeling was one thing, but what was with the sliding kneel? There were over twenty heads bustling between him and Han Zhan.

Like a moat guarding Han Zhan.

How could they fight like this?

”Fight my ass!”

”Don’t your knees bend too easily?” Chen Tao asked, holding an umbrella in the rain, still putting up a brave front.

”Nonsense, if your knees don’t bend, don’t kneel,” someone from the kneeling Anti-Xia Alliance snarked back.

”This may not be his Talent Ability; it might just be some trick...”

”A trick? Fine, then show us a trick like that, and we’ll kneel to you too!”

Chen Tao’s words were cut off again.

No one present was a fool; they had a keen sense of judgment.

Earlier, Chen Tao was riding high, and they were happy to kick him while he was down.

But now, well.

What does it mean to have someone who can help ordinary people in the Anti-Xia Alliance awaken, almost on par with an Awakening Stone?

Even the old sows in the pig sties in the northern suburbs of Fulong City’s outskirts knew!

That’s definitely the hottest figure in the Anti-Xia Alliance, someone who could rival Gongyang Jin in reputation!

The students from the filial ranking, and the families behind them, had a complete mindset shift, feeling immensely grateful.

Fortunately, they had all shown respect to Han Zhan, and no matter how modestly, their relationship remained harmonious.

”Geng Jiu, is this your Talent Ability?”

Elder Bing, who hadn’t spoken until now, finally spoke up.

”This is one of my Contracted Spirit Abilities, able to synthesize Awakening Stones, simulate the awakening process, and help ordinary people undergo Spirit Contract Awakening.”

Even if they had already guessed it.

Hearing Han Zhan confirm it himself, everyone present was left with sheer shock.

What kind of heaven-defying ability was this?

Replacing Awakening Stones? It’s something unthinkable.

Elder Bing’s eyes lit up.

If it could truly replace the Awakening Stone, allowing every ordinary person in the Anti-Xia Alliance to awaken...

Thanks to the unique time dilation advantage within the City of Extreme Evil, every awakened person in the Anti-Xia Alliance could climb to great heights over long years, as long as they didn’t die.

The only bottleneck was the Awakening Stone!

Once this issue is resolved, the number of awakened ones and powerhouses in the Anti-Xia Alliance will see an explosive growth!

Not to mention, if even one or two more talents like Gongyang Jin emerge among these awakened ones.

What will the Anti-Xia Alliance be like then?

Even Elder Bing couldn’t imagine.

Only when a quantitative change occurs can it lead to a qualitative change.

”Can you awaken a few more people?” Elder Bing cautiously requested, trying to suppress his excitement.

He was also worried that his distrustful attitude might anger Han Zhan, but he had to make sure for the sake of the entire Anti-Xia Alliance.

”I can.”

For others, perhaps not, but for Elder Bing, he could.

Han Zhan readily agreed, raising his hand once more and replicating his previous actions.

In an instant, the entire sky was lit up with white light.

The other students on the filial ranking, and the ordinary people with Strength Pills and Upright Pills in their pockets, all began to unleash their Spiritual Power!

”Really, is this real?!”

”I’ve awakened? Hahaha! I’ve awakened!”

”Tell me, I’m not dreaming, I’ve truly awakened!”

Feeling the changes within themselves, some laughed towards the sky, some wept with joy, and some slid to their knees in the rain, rejoicing wildly.

This time, Han Zhan awakened thirty people all at once.

He stopped, the light and shadows of the Nuwa Stone gradually fading.

”I’m out of Spiritual Power, need a break.”

Seeing this scene, hearing Han Zhan’s words, Elder Bing decisively bent his knees.

He was kneeling to Han Zhan for his previous words of doubt and distrust.

The dignity of an individual cannot be compared to the future of a force.

Just as Elder Bing was about to kneel, a pair of strong hands held him up.

”Elder Bing, there’s no need for you to kneel.”

Han Zhan stopped him a step ahead.

In terms of emotion, Elder Bing (Li Tugui) was his teacher’s brother, deserving Han Zhan’s respectful address as martial uncle.

In terms of logic, all are Great Xia people, contributing to Great Xia. Why kneel?

Compared to what Elder Bing had done for Great Xia, Han Zhan’s efforts were but a trifle!

As Han Zhan helped Elder Bing stand.

The faint white aura in Han Zhan’s palm made contact with Elder Bing.

Elder Bing’s eyes suddenly shone brightly.

He looked up abruptly at Han Zhan.

The latter said nothing, just gave a barely perceptible nod.

Elder Bing’s face now wore a comforting smile unique to an elder.

The child had grown up.

Great Xia had successors.

The obsessions and beliefs belonging to us old folks now had torchbearers to carry them forward!

This is good.

It’s worth uncorking cherished wine and drinking it heartily!

This feeling is excellent.

Even better than knowing Han Zhan had a Contracted Spirit Ability that could replace the Awakening Stone, a thousand times better!

The matter between Han Zhan and Elder Bing remains their secret.

Others only saw Elder Bing attempt to kneel and Han Zhan stop him.

This scene heightened the impression of Han Zhan among those in the Anti-Xia Alliance who had benefited from Elder Bing and were on good terms with him.

Chen Tao, standing with his black umbrella, was now utterly black-faced.

He lost again.

It was as if Han Zhan was born to counter him, every move thwarting his plans.

Luckily, at least Gongyang Jin treated them equally, her sisterly identity likely meant she was emotionally closer to him!

Chen Tao could only console himself with this thought.

With Han Zhan subtly solidifying his position as the new Number One of the Anti-Xia Alliance.

He opened his mouth, trying to leave behind some harsh words.

At that moment, another figure broke through the rain and appeared at the road’s end.

Her arrival brought the atmosphere of the Awakening Day to a peak.

Gongyang Jin raised her hand.

The Sword Qi of the Xuanyuan Sword soared into the sky, dispersing the gathered clouds above.

The rain stopped abruptly in the next second.

The sky returned to clarity.

The rain stopped.

”I intend to appoint Han Zhan as the Vice Alliance Leader of the Anti-Xia Alliance, with authority second only to me.”

”Who agrees, who objects?”

An even more explosive piece of news came from Gongyang Jin’s mouth, yet it seemed somehow fitting.

Elder Bing silently stood out, the first to say:

”I agree.”
