Just as the golden hammer was about to touch Chen Qian, Chen Qian stumbled again and fell down by sheer coincidence, just avoiding the golden hammer.

Just as people were marveling at how incredibly lucky Shen Qian was, when he fell to the ground, a face with furrowed brows was revealed behind him.

Ji Wen!

All the human warriors were shocked. They were so focused on avoiding the danger that no one expected Ji Wen to be standing right behind Shen Qian.

Ji Wen was frail and sickly from childhood, but his wisdom was unparalleled. He barely entered the Divine Realm by relying on countless resources. Zha Li, on the other hand, possessed terrifying strength at the mid-level of the Divine Realm. This hammer clearly contained all of Zha Li's strength. If it hit, even if Ji Wen did not die, he would probably be seriously injured on the spot.

But it was too late for anyone else to help, and as for Chen Qian, who had fallen to the ground, there was clearly no hope of saving him.

"Crown Prince!"

Several young humans from the Xuanyuan clan looked annoyed and shouted in panic.

At this critical moment, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Seeing Ji Wen's expression change several times, he finally showed a helpless look and then gently raised one hand.

When it touched Ji Wen's palm, the huge golden hammer that was spinning at high speed crashing towards him seemed to hit an iron wall, instantly freezing in mid-air, or like a stone thrown into the sea, leaving no ripples.

The entire room fell silent; everyone was stunned.

It was clearly a furious attack from Zha Li, yet it was blocked so easily?

This is still not the end.

Perhaps feeling there was no need to pretend anymore, Ji Wen's actions didn't stop there. With a gloomy expression, he grabbed the purple-gold hammer that had been suspended in mid-air.

The enormous purple-gold hammer looked completely out of place in Ji Wen's hands, but he swung it with ease, and at a speed even faster than in Zha Li's hands.

"go!"

Immediately, Ji Wen spun around on the spot, and with a furious shout, the purple-gold hammer flew towards Zha Li, who was still somewhat stunned, at more than twice the speed before.

Zhali may not have reacted yet, or he may simply not want to believe it. He subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to regain control of his weapon.

But he failed.

The whirlwind swirling around the weapon alone shattered his hand, and the golden hammer that followed pierced his armor and slammed heavily into his chest.

Kacha!

"puff!"

With a sickening cracking sound, Zhali flew backward, his chest caved in three feet, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

While still in mid-air, the severely injured Zha Li completely lost consciousness and then crashed onto the sand like a broken straw.

The earth trembled violently again, and the ground protective array that should have been indestructible in the arena was briefly revealed by the impact, its light swaying, showing the strength of the remaining force.

quiet!

The entire arena was completely silent.

Not to mention the geniuses from all races who were completely dumbfounded, even the human warriors were speechless.

"No...wasn't it said that Ji Wen was weak since childhood and not good at martial arts?"

"A casual strike left a Divine Realm expert critically injured and on the verge of death. What kind of terrifying power is this?"

Gasps of astonishment rose and fell among the human warriors.

If Ji Wen can severely injure a mid-stage Divine Realm expert with a single blow, doesn't that mean he possesses at least the strength of a late-stage Divine Realm expert?

This completely overturned everyone's understanding.

At the same time, after a brief silence, applause suddenly rang out from somewhere on the steps.

"Tsk tsk, Ji Wen, I never expected you to be so cunning. It seems that my Wu Clan still knows too little about your human race."

Another cheerful voice followed.

"It takes twenty years to disguise yourself. It seems that Crown Prince Ji has a grand plan. If we ignore you when we enter the battlefield of ten thousand races, who knows what might happen."

"I initially thought Zhali was wasting our time, but now it seems he did the right thing!"

Another voice followed.

The series of mocking voices, seemingly laced with some deeper meaning, made Ji Wen's expression grow increasingly grim, showing no joy whatsoever after delivering a devastating blow to Zha Li.

Shen Qian dusted himself off and stood up, carefully identifying the locations of the sounds.

Sure enough, the people who spoke were the same few extremely subtle yet extremely powerful auras that Shen Qian had sensed when he first entered the arena.

Their identities are obvious; they must be among the top tier of people on this battlefield of myriad races.

Although Shen Qian did not know what Ji Wen's purpose was in hiding his strength for twenty years, at this moment, from the moment he entered these people's field of vision, this plan was already half-defeated.

With this thought in mind, no matter how much Ji Wen tried to control himself, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Qian with a sullen face.

He couldn't be sure if Shen Qian's actions were a coincidence, but strangely, when Shen Qian lunged at him, Ji Wen, who could have easily dodged, inexplicably felt a suppressive force at that moment.

The force that came from nowhere caught Ji Wen off guard. His body froze, and by the time he finally broke free, it was too late.

Perhaps he didn't need to confront the purple-gold hammer head-on; he could have chosen to dodge it at the last moment, given his speed.

But... there's no fundamental difference between revealing speed and revealing power. The key point is that his strength was ultimately exposed.

Shen Qian naturally sensed Ji Wen's gloomy gaze, but he didn't care. If Ji Wen asked him, Shen Qian would say without hesitation, "Yes, he did it on purpose."
