"Lin Sanmo..."
Shen Qian's gaze lingered on the first name.
He was unfamiliar with the name, since he hadn't met anyone else at Beiwu except for his freshman year.
But the annotation behind the name caught his attention.
"A year ago, we fought against Shan Hai and ended in a draw..."
He murmured before sinking in.
Just then, he overheard some senior students from Jiangzhong Military Academy discussing something behind him.
"Lin Sanmo hasn't graduated yet? He hasn't made a move in a long time, I almost forgot his name."
"Hey, I'll never forget it. Back then, more than fifty high-level martial artists surrounded him and were all defeated by him in a crushing manner. I was one of them. That experience is still etched in my memory to this day..."
"Hmm, they can fight to a draw with Shan Hai, so taking down dozens of high-level martial artists is just a piece of cake, right?"
"...That was three years ago."
"What!"
Not to mention the people around them were shocked, even Chen Qian himself was startled.
Lin Sanmo is a senior this year; his three-year program is equivalent to his freshman year.
In other words, even when the opponent was still a newcomer, he was able to crush more than fifty high-level martial artists.
Before sinking in, I wasn't sure if there was any exaggeration in this number, but in any case, it was enough to demonstrate the other party's extraordinary talent.
Chen Qian thought for a moment, then opened his bracelet and entered the three characters "Lin Sanmo".
The search results yielded far less information than he had imagined, but even those few snippets of posts contained enough information to keep one digesting for a long time.
"For three consecutive years, Huawu has failed in its exchange program with the other two schools, and Lin Sanmo has become a shadow over Huawu..."
"If he doesn't fall, he will surely become a king or nobleman"—this is the personal evaluation from the principal of Beiwu.
"A sword's light chills nineteen provinces; Lin Sanmo's self-created martial arts technique has been selected for the highest hall of young martial artists, the China Martial Arts Hall!"
"..."
One by one, these incidents, mostly news from one or two years ago or even earlier, seem to indicate that Lin Sanmo has almost disappeared from the public eye since the Battle of Shanhaiguan a year ago.
After flipping through the list for a while, Chen Qian turned his attention to the other names on the list.
Bai Fei from Suzhou University of Science and Technology was undoubtedly the most familiar name on the list before the sinking.
Even though the two had only fought once.
According to Qu Bai, he should have died inside a certain "door" two years ago.
But for some unknown reason, the other party was resurrected.
Before sinking, I knew that there was actually another person who had a similar experience.
Fourth Senior Brother, Wu Jun.
This was also something Lao Liu revealed to Shen Qian during their conversation.
"Wu Jun is a man who emerged from the Sea of the Dead."
Shen Qian didn't understand the meaning of such a simple sentence, but he remembered that Liu Changqing's expression was extremely complicated at the time.
Although Liu Changqing did not say it explicitly, based on Shen Qian's understanding of martial arts and the books he later consulted, the four words "resurrection from the dead" alone carried immense weight.
"Life and death" is the highest principle and the most difficult law of life to defy.
Whoever breaks this taboo rule, for whatever reason, will pay an absolute price, but what will come with it is also the most dangerous yet greatest opportunity in the world.
Shen Qian couldn't be sure how much of Bai Fei's strength he possessed when he unleashed that strike.
But he knew that was definitely not all of the other person.
Before setting off, Yu Shouyi reminded Shen Qian not to think that he could do whatever he wanted just because he was in the mountains and seas.
As soon as Chen Qian thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at Qu Bai, who was also browsing the list a dozen meters away.
To be honest, Qu Bai is still a character he hasn't figured out yet.
The other party has almost certainly already entered the realm of mountains and seas.
He was just too well hidden and never showed it to the outside world. It is estimated that before his rise to power, he was the biggest trump card of Jiangzhong Military Force in the Nine Heavens War.
Qu Bai noticed Shen Qian's gaze, turned around, and simply walked over to stand side by side with Shen Qian.
"Be careful of that Sabi."
Qu Bai's words immediately startled Shen Qian.
"How so?"
Shen Qian's gaze had just swept over the name, but because the annotation was somewhat vague, only stating "Grandmaster Hunter," Shen Qian didn't pay much attention to it.
Hunters are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, with the next level being the grandmaster, corresponding to the grandmaster of alchemy, which is also divided into one to nine stars.
Given Sha Bi's age, he is at most a Grandmaster below the five-star level.
However... in terms of prestige, a Grandmaster Hunter is far inferior to a Grandmaster Alchemist.
After all, the number of hunters is huge, and their level of expertise is the lowest, directly linked to their strength. If Shen Qian wanted to, he could become a Grandmaster Hunter at any time; he was confident in that ability.
That's why he didn't pay much attention to Shapi just now.
"Don't you think being a 'Grandmaster Hunter' is anything special?"
Qu Bai seemed to see through Shen Qian's thoughts and said with a half-smile.
"Hmm." Shen Qian didn't bother to hide it.
“You need to understand one concept first: he comes from overseas.” Qu Bai smiled. “And overseas hunters and hunters in ordinary restricted areas are completely different concepts.”
"What's the meaning?"
"To put it simply, obtaining the corresponding Hunter Badge overseas is a level more difficult than obtaining it in restricted areas on land. In other words, a Hunter Master overseas, by our standards, would be equivalent to..."
"The God of Hunts?!"
Only then did a serious look appear in Shen Qian's eyes.
The nine major occupational systems have different levels, but they are largely similar.
Above the Grandmaster Hunter is the title of God Hunter, which is divided into levels similar to those of Forbidden Zone Quest Scrolls, ranging from dawn to night.
