"Projection of Kings and Nobles..."
"A top-tier formation?"
Many people couldn't understand what the host was saying, or rather, although the host was repeating the words of a powerful being from the mountains and seas, she didn't actually know what she was saying.
However, there is one thing that everyone understands.
That is, Cao Qian's father, a prince, provided him with some kind of help at a critical moment, not only preventing his death but also greatly increasing his chances of successfully taking that step.
The threshold that an ordinary martial artist might make perfect preparations for and never be able to cross in their entire life was easily breached by Cao Qian at this moment.
After the consciousness projection of Minnan Bo and the array light on the arena dissipated, Cao Qian's originally weak aura stabilized. Moreover, the Daoist charm that had dissipated returned to him and was constantly increasing.
It seemed as if a radiant glow rose from the sky and then vanished in a flash.
The illusion of a sky full of clouds gradually dissipated, and the weather system inside the main stadium returned to normal.
At a certain moment, Cao Qian, who had been keeping his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them. In that instant, it was as if lightning flashed in his eyes, causing Zhao Keyi opposite him to close his eyes again.
"The path of thunder and fire is one of the most offensive paths in the Earthly Path, ranking among the top ten. It truly deserves the title of 'Gate of Creation,' easily turning the tide and allowing him to find a broad and prosperous path."
Inside the military lounge in Jiangzhong, Uncle Kunhu seemed to sense something and sighed.
He nodded slightly.
Wind, thunder, water, and fire all belong to the Five Elements, which are the most common major paths in the Dao of Earth. However, there are also distinctions of superiority and inferiority among them. Clearly, the "Great Dao of Thunder and Fire" that Cao Qian found is among the best.
The cost has already been clearly stated by Uncle Kunhu.
What Uncle Minnan has given is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
"Father……"
Upon waking up again, Cao Qian seemed to know what had just happened. He blankly pulled out a broken jade pendant from his chest, and his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
This jade pendant was a gift from his uncle in Fujian when he was a child, and for countless years afterward, Cao Qian never felt any affection from his father again.
Cao Qian, who had always thought his father didn't like him, finally understood the other's good intentions at this moment.
If it weren't for this jade pendant, his fate would have been certain defeat.
Only those who have truly set foot in that highest place will understand how difficult the process of "seeking the Way" is.
"Congratulations!"
A congratulatory greeting from the other side brought Cao Qian back to his senses, reminding him that there was still a battle to be fought.
"Thanks."
Cao Qian accepted it readily and then asked, "Do we need to continue?"
A calm yet confident aura emanated from Cao Qian once again.
With the help of the Minnan Uncle, today's actions have helped him cross the two stages of "seeking the way" and "exploring the path". In other words, he is now a genuine half-step master of the Mountain and Sea!
He only needs to refine his physical body and enhance his spirit. When everything is ready, he can directly "attain enlightenment" and enter the realm of mountains and seas in one fell swoop!
The brief arrival of Dao Hai had already imbued him with the essence of Dao. Moreover, his body and spirit had undergone a brief baptism under the pull of Dao Hai.
Having broken free from his cocoon and been reborn, he is now far stronger than before!
Even ordinary peak martial artists are no match for him.
Cao Qian has this confidence.
The sudden reversal of the situation on the field was reported to all viewers, both online and offline, by the host.
"Half-step into the Mountain and Sea realm, holy crap, that's practically invincible..."
"Yeah, that's way too exaggerated. Even seniors aren't that strong. What's the point of fighting like this!"
"Just give the 'Nine Heavens Cup' to Shenwu."
"Having a prince as a father is awesome..."
Some were amazed, some were envious, and there was also a lot of sourness.
Regardless, although the "Nine Heavens Cup" eliminates the potential unfairness caused by high-level psionic weapons, breakthroughs during the competition are clearly not within the constraints of the event.
As for matters like the assistance of kings and nobles, it's even more impossible to discuss openly. You can't just publicly accuse the Minnan Duke of interfering with the competition, can you?
In short, at this point, almost everyone thought that there was no need to fight anymore.
The peak of a high-level martial artist can be called peerless, half-step into the Mountain and Sea realm... This is a realm that should not appear among freshmen at all.
This has exceeded the normal cognitive range of most viewers.
On the stage, after Cao Qian finished asking his question, Zhao Keyi remained silent for a moment.
"Actually, do you know?"
Zhao Ke suddenly laughed, "You weren't the only one who felt the same way during the college entrance exam."
Cao Qian was taken aback, somewhat confused, probably wondering why Zhao Keyi would say such a thing.
"When autumn comes, all the flowers will wither..."
Zhao Keyi murmured, "But in my eyes, that dazzling flower has never actually left my sight!"
Cao Qian frowned but didn't reply; he had just keenly sensed something was amiss.
Because Zhao Keyi's reaction was all too ordinary.
Even though he watched as he stepped into the half-step Mountain and Sea realm, Zhao Keyi was neither shocked nor horrified; he only showed a little surprise and admiration.
"My plans are different from yours."
Something subtle was rising within Zhao Keyi, and for some reason, Cao Qian felt a strange sense of familiarity about it.
But he had never felt this kind of aura before.
