Lin Huang slept for less than four hours and woke up around seven in the morning. He was refreshed after the battle with the remnant of the will.
To an immortal-level, two to three hours of sleep a day was enough. In reality, it was not a big deal not to sleep for a few days, but one would be slightly exhausted.
It was fine if one encountered an ordinary enemy, but if one encountered a powerhouse who was on the same level as one, the slight difference in one's condition might cause one to lose. If one were to be on the battlefield, a proper rest would be necessary because the worst outcome would be death.
Lin Huang was used to getting enough sleep every day so that he could be energetic throughout the day to focus on what he wanted to do. He thought it would be more efficient than not resting at all.
In reality, most transcendents did the same thing. They would sleep for a while at night unless there was a special situation.
Lin Huang bumped into Tan Lang just when he was done washing up and leaving the house.
"Let's have breakfast together. I'll tell you about what we discussed in the meeting yesterday." Tan Lang invited him while smiling.
The inn did not provide breakfast in the morning. However, there was a noodle house that was open in the morning not far away from the inn. The food was delicious.
The duo headed straight to the noodle house without making any other choices after they went downstairs.
Since it was still early, most of the tables and chairs in the noodle house were empty. Only four tables were occupied.
Lin Huang and Tan Lang picked a table by the window and sat down. Lin Huang ordered a bowl of beef noodles while Tan Lang ordered a bowl of mixed beef noodles with two side dishes.
Before the noodles were served, Tan Lang began talking to Lin Huang about the meeting last night softly.
"Compared to the number of monsters in the monster horde, there's a limited number of immortal-level powerhouses on our side. Therefore, the conclusion of our discussion yesterday was to guard the direction of the two city gates. We'll leave some people who are good at long-range attacks in the city to guard the four walls to prevent monsters from crossing the walls.
"The next enemies will be on high-level immortal-level. Although your ability is enough to fight them, it'll be troublesome if you're caught in the monster horde. Moreover, you're a psychic who's good at long-range attacks. It's better for you to stay in the city and guard the walls. If we're outside the city, we can summon beasts. " Ravenous Wolf was still afraid that something would happen to Lin Huang. After all, monster trainers weren't good at close combat, and Lin Huang was a Psychic, so he was more suitable for defending a city. "Oh, right, I forgot to ask. How many familiars can you summon?"
Hearing this question, Lin Huang was stunned for a moment. His mind quickly flashed through the number of normal monster trainers he could summon, and then he answered, "At most five."
Usually, before reaching holy fire-level, most of the Imperial Censors' spiritual strength was limited and they could only control one imperial monster. Those who were talented enough to control two Monster Trainers were already considered genius monster trainers. To be able to control three of them, one had to be a monstrous existence.
On holy fire-level, especially gold flame-level, most of the Imperial Censors could control two to three imperial monsters at the same time due to the strength of their souls. Only a select few could control four or even more.
Upon reaching immortal-level, most of the Imperial Censors could control more than four imperial monsters. It was not rare for them to control five imperial monsters, but it was rare for them to control more than six imperial monsters.
Lin Huang said that he could only control five imperial monsters at most, so he was considered an above average Imperial Censor.
Apart from considering his Imperial Censor's qualification, Lin Huang also considered the fact that he could only show off to the public at the moment. He only had five summoning monsters that had relatively weaker combat abilities.
They were the Herculean King, Bing Wang, Thunder, the Malachian Fiend, and Bloody Robe.
In reality, Lin Huang was reluctant to let the Malachian Fiend out. In terms of defense, the Malachian Fiend ranked second only to Tyrant among all of his imperial monsters. Even imperial-level black gold-rank monsters could not break through its defense.
Fortunately, the monster horde was only on high-level immortal-level. It was normal that it could not break through the triple mutated immortal-level rank-9 monsters that had a stronger defense. The Herculean King could do that as well, so the rest should not be able to see through the Malachian Fiend's abnormality.
"Why don't you keep one of them with you? We'll split the remaining four into two at the city gates."
Noticing that Lin Huang was frowning when he answered the question, Tan Lang thought he was reluctant to talk about his Imperial Censor's qualification. Therefore, he changed the topic to his imperial monsters' abilities as soon as he made the arrangement.
"How are your other imperial monsters' abilities compared to the Herculean King's?"
"They're about the same." Lin Huang smiled upon hearing that.
At the moment, he had 22 immortal-level rank-9 summoning monsters under him.
The first echelon in terms of overall ability was Lancelot, Killer, and the Evil Dominator who were pseudo-mythical-level monsters, Bloody who had an army, and two knights that could integrate with the Dark Crescent Snakes. Grimace who had a puppet relic and Kelly and the Warlord who had an army could be considered as part of the echelon.
The second echelon was Bai, Charcoal, Tyrant, and the rest. Bai, Charcoal, and Tyrant were originally part of the first echelon. However, since they were stuck at triple mutated, their abilities had yet to elevate significantly. However, Lin Huang knew very well that as soon as Bai and the rest completed their elevation, their abilities would not be any weaker than Lancelot who was on the same level. The Eclipse Boa, Bloody Robe, the Imp, the Malachian Fiend, and the Witch who was far away in Division 7 were also part of the echelon.
The third echelon was the Herculean King, Bing Wang, and Thunder. Excluding the effect of Knight Integration, the two Dark Crescent Snakes belonged to the echelon as well. They were even slightly weaker than the Herculean King and the rest.
Tan Lang was stunned to hear Lin Huang say that the rest of the imperial monsters were similar to the Herculean King. He recalled the day when the Herculean King said that its ability ranked the lowest among all of Lin Huang's imperial monsters.
'Could what the Herculean King said the other day be true?!' Tan Lang thought to himself and lifted his head to look at Lin Huang. He did not look like he was joking.
Lin Huang could roughly guess what he was thinking by looking at his eyes. He explained immediately, "The imperial monsters under me are of different types. Some of them are good at close-range combat while some are good at long-range combat. Some of them are fast and some of them are strong. In reality, they're developing in different directions, so I can't compare them with the Herculean King. The ones that I'm talking about are similar to the Herculean King, but they're on the same level in all aspects. Not all of them have amazing close-range combat abilities like the Herculean King. "
"I see." Tan Lang was finally relieved after listening to Lin Huang's explanation.
He was secretly thinking about his chances of winning if Lin Huang had five summoning beasts that were on the same level as the Herculean King.
What he did not know was that he had no chance of winning at all if he were to encounter the Herculean King, Bing Wang, Thunder, Malachian Fiend, and Bloody Robe. Bing Wang had a deceleration-type control skill. As soon as Bloody Robe used his Punishment Chain, the probability of him dying would be 100%. There was no chance of him surviving at all. The other three would not even need to fight.
Naturally, Lin Huang would not let Tan Lang know about that. He was going to remind Bloody Robe and the rest not to reveal their true abilities before the battle.
After breakfast, Tan Lang explained the contents of the meeting. Both of them then returned to the inn.
At 8 am, the ten people from the Heaven Alliance officially gathered.
"Li Jia and Lin Xie will stay in the city. The two of you will guard the west and north walls respectively. There are some people from the government residence guarding there. The rest of you will follow me out of the city. Four of you will go to the east gate while the other four will go to the south gate. "
Tan Lang turned his head to look at Lin Huang after making the arrangements. "Lin Xie, you can summon your imperial monsters now."
Lin Huang nodded and appeared at the entrance of the inn in one step. He crushed five Monster Cards as he touched his pet spatial ring.
The Herculean King, Bing Wang, Malachian Fiend, Thunder, and Bloody Robe appeared almost at the same time.
The people from the Heaven Alliance held their breaths when they sensed the powerful aura of the five summoning beasts, including Tan Lang.
Everyone was familiar with Bing Wang as they had seen Lin Huang summoning beasts on the Stairway Tree earlier. However, this was the first time the other three beasts had shown up in front of them.
"Five triple mutated immortal-level rank-9 imperial monsters!" Shen Tao could not help but exclaim.
The rest of them had the same thought, but they did not say it out loud.
"What a handsome condor!"
Tan Lang could not help but exclaim. He was completely attracted by Thunder and could not move his eyes away.
Thunder lowered his head and glanced at Tan Lang. Then, he moved his gaze to the side without a care in the world, and his face was cold and aloof.
The Herculean King glanced at Tan Lang and scoffed in dissatisfaction.
Tan Lang snapped back to his senses and glanced at the Herculean King in embarrassment.
"Alright, Thunder will stay. The other four will go with you," Lin Huang said and secretly told Bloody Robe and the Malachian Fiend not to reveal their trump cards.
Tan Lang then left with the Herculean King and Bloody Robe unwillingly. Shen Tao then led the other four away with Bing Wang and the Malachian Fiend.
