Qin Hao stared at Shen Qian, feeling both relief and a slight unease.

Fortunately, he never expected that he would be so lucky, running into Shen Qian right after entering the sea of ​​knowledge.

A month ago, although Qin Hao also harbored deep hatred for Shen Qian, he knew that the probability of successfully taking revenge on Shen Qian was lower than winning the lottery.

Who was Shen Qian?

Before the Nine Heavens Battle, he was merely a national martial arts champion on paper, a top figure among the younger generation. But after the Nine Heavens Battle... Qin Hao, who had been closely following Shen Qian's trajectory, had already overturned his previous thoughts.

Shen Qian is simply not on the same level as them. The term "younger generation" might be a compliment when applied to others, but it is extremely inappropriate when applied to Shen Qian.

Who else would consider him a member of the younger generation?

Even his master, the Marquis of the West, once remarked that given time, this boy would surely become a great threat.

He had heard some of these things from his teacher... It is said that Shen Qian had already achieved the feat of single-handedly annihilating the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm.

If the person who said this wasn't Zheng Xibo, Qin Hao would definitely slap him across the face... Are you talking nonsense?

Although there are kings and nobles above the mountains and seas, there are only a few kings and nobles. The peak of the mountains and seas is the place where people truly stand at the top of society in every sense.

The city in the center of the earth is said to have eight million mountains and seas, but it is estimated that there are fewer than ten thousand people who have truly reached the "peak" level.

Even the Nine Heavens of Mountains and Seas cannot be considered the "peak"; before that group of people, they can only bow their heads.

Not to mention ordinary mountains and seas... In the eyes of the real big shots, most of these eight million mountains and seas are just for show, including Qin Hao himself.

It sounds tragic, but this is the cruel way of martial arts. What ordinary people see as lofty mountains and seas are merely the foundation of martial arts in the eyes of kings and nobles.

He even knew that if it weren't for Shen Qian, he might not have been able to become a disciple of the Marquis of Zhengxi.

How could a noble king accept a cripple as a disciple... But if this disciple has a certain chance of avenging him, then that's another story.

Wen Zhe, the nephew of the Marquis of Zhengxi, died on the battlefield of Jiutian, at the hands of Shen Qian. The Marquis of Zhengxi was furious and could not do anything to Shen Qian in a short time, so he took in a lot of nominal disciples, most of whom had a grudge against Shen Qian.

Qin Hao lost an arm, but his talent for cultivating the Bone-Piercing Technique was unparalleled. He even discovered another "path," which is why the Marquis of Zhengxi took a different view of him and accepted him as his personal disciple.

Even so, Qin Hao knew that he was still far behind Shen Qian, and that revenge was a distant dream.

But no one expected that this opportunity would come so quickly and so abruptly.

Just over half a year later, the situation changed dramatically. A king or nobleman offered an astronomical reward in the city in the center of the earth, just before the opening of the "Sea of ​​Learning".

What's even more absurd is that Shen Qian actually came to "the sea of ​​learning".

He was so arrogant, as if he didn't care about the exorbitant reward at all.

Things became simple after that. After discovering that he had only been in the sea of ​​knowledge for five minutes when he bumped into the sinking point, Qin Hao began the most efficient and simplest connection of his life.

He completely forgot about "literary rank" and exploration, and in just ten minutes, he managed to attract hundreds of martial artists from the surrounding area.

One person may hesitate, but as more and more mountains and seas gather, everyone becomes more confident.

That's 20 billion! Even if it's split among 100 people, each person would still have 200 million... Many of the martial artists present couldn't raise 200 million even if they sold themselves.

Well, if all else fails, we'll sell our favors to the powerful and wealthy; at least another several hundred billion will be in our accounts.

The abacus clanged loudly, a sound that could be heard even beyond the sea of ​​knowledge, yet everyone believed it wasn't just a fantasy.

This is the "Sea of ​​Learning"!

Even the most brilliant genius will see their abilities significantly diminished here, and everyone knows that among the many taboos of the "Sea of ​​Learning," there is one like this...

Do not get surrounded.

The power of the soul recovers extremely slowly, and once damaged, it becomes incredibly troublesome; no one can withstand a siege.

At their level, when Shen Qian appeared in their sights unsuspectingly, the outcome was already decided. With Shan Hai's keen eyesight and tacit understanding, they would not leave any flaws. No matter where Shen Qian tried to break through, he would face a hundred people surrounding and killing him.

But for some reason, Qin Hao still felt a little uneasy.

Perhaps it was because he was too calm before sinking.

He had clearly shown a willingness to fight to the death, but Shen Qian's expression remained unchanged.

Instead, he saw some strange emotions in Shen Qian's eyes.

Regardless of how many thoughts flashed through Qin Hao's mind at this moment, Chen Qian finally said somewhat absentmindedly, "Your name is Qin Hao, right... I remember now, you were the leader of the nine people back then. I didn't expect that after so long, your cultivation has regressed instead of progressed, but you are much stronger than before. You have reached the fifth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm now, right? Congratulations!"

Qin Hao wasn't surprised that Shen Qian was projecting his cultivation from within the Sea of ​​Learning; he simply assumed Shen Qian was stalling for time and couldn't help but sneer, "Thanks to you, I should thank you... Shen Qian, do you have any last words?"

Sensing the other party's impatience, Shen Qian sighed and glanced once more at the faces that conveyed different emotions.

“I’ll give you a chance. If you back down now, I’ll let bygones be bygones…including you, Qin Hao.”

After he finished speaking, everyone wore strange expressions.

They wondered if they had misheard... Should we give them a chance?

Although the group didn't all chime in with sarcastic remarks, they didn't hide their expressions.
