"His combat strength at that time should have been around the first level of the Mountain and Sea Realm," Bai Fei continued.
"Then he..."
"He gave it his all."
As if knowing what the person who was about to speak wanted to say, Bai Fei spoke first in an extremely certain tone.
When did this happen?
Two months ago.
"ha!"
Song Jinyao's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a key point. "Two months... You all heard that, right? Are you going to tell me that Shen Qian can increase his strength by one level every month on average? Wouldn't he become a king next year?"
Many people narrowed their eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Normally, this is indeed impossible.
The path of martial arts always progresses more slowly, especially at the Mountain and Sea realm. Breaking through one realm in ten years is considered rapid progress.
"The increase in combat power and the breakthrough in realm are two completely different things. It may not be possible to break through the realm in two months, but that does not mean that there is no possibility of rapid progress in combat power."
After remaining silent for a while, Cao Yi suddenly sneered, "You are all geniuses in the eyes of others, but let me ask you, how many of you truly match your combat strength with your cultivation level?"
Everyone fell silent again.
What Cao Qian said is indeed true.
"Cao Yi, why don't you go and test his strength? Your brother Cao Qian was just defeated by the Jiangzhong Military Force. Don't you feel any anger at all?"
Song Jinyao's eyes darted around, and he urged.
"Leaving aside the fact that it's a feud between my brother and him, I don't need to test anything," Cao Qian said coldly. "Haven't you noticed that someone has already disappeared?"
Everyone was taken aback at first, but when their gazes shifted, some of them quickly realized what was going on.
"It seems that Consort Ning has gone downstairs."
"Is that the youngest daughter of the Duke of Tianning?"
"Hey, it seems the rumors that Jiang Huan once targeted the Martial Arts Department are true. No wonder Consort Ning has been so sullen all day; it seems she's been waiting for this moment."
"Tsk tsk, with that guy's temper, he won't care about Luo Shenbo at all. This is going to be interesting."
While everyone else watched with amusement, Wu Yi, who hadn't participated in the conversation for a long time, frowned.
He had been observing everyone's reactions ever since he appeared before the sinking.
Lin Sanmo's eyes clearly gained a strong and clear focus the moment he saw Shen Qian.
He knew the other person too well.
The last time I saw Lin Sanmo with that look in his eyes was a year ago, when Lin Sanmo was about to challenge that powerful expert from the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The news reports from the outside world only stated "Lin Sanmo fought Shan Hai to a draw," but very few people knew what level of cultivation Shan Hai was who Lin Sanmo challenged!
In short, Wu Yi had already made up his mind.
This sinking was by no means simple.
...
From the moment he stepped through the manor gate to the moment he encountered Qu Xiangyun who came to greet him, he had no idea that he had been scrutinized and judged by so many eyes in the short distance of about a hundred meters.
He was certainly aware of the gazes directed at him, but with so many guests in the manor, he couldn't possibly go and investigate them all.
"Shenqian, you've arrived!"
Qu Xiangyun wore a well-fitting halter dress, and her smile before seeing Chen was much more natural.
"I was delayed by some unexpected event on the way. I wouldn't have been late otherwise. I'm sorry."
Because signing autographs for elementary school students took some time, Shen Qian quickly apologized.
...Of course, it was mainly meant for Luo Shenbo, who was somewhere but was sure to hear it.
"It's alright, let me take you to see your aunt first. She specifically told me that she wants to talk to you when you arrive..." Qu Xiangyun said with a smile.
Shen Qian was about to agree when he suddenly frowned.
Not only him, but Qu Xiangyun and Qu Bai, who were standing to the side, also seemed to sense something and turned their heads to look in surprise.
A woman was standing before the pool leading into the main hall of the manor.
She was in her early twenties, wearing a flashy short skirt that barely covered her upper thighs, fishnet stockings that encased her straight and long legs, and bright red high heels. Combined with her bright red lips and curly long hair, she created a strong visual impact.
"You're the one who sank in front?"
She stared at Shen Qian, her arrogant face revealing undisguised disgust.
Shen Qian frowned.
"She is Consort Ning."
Qu Bai said from the side.
Suddenly, I realized what was happening.
No wonder this woman treated him so badly.
Consort Ning was the youngest daughter of the Duke of Tianning. Although the entanglements between the Duke of Tianning and Shen Qian were only mentioned indirectly, they had a significant impact.
Before coming, I had prepared myself mentally, but I was afraid that the contact with the other party would not be very pleasant.
He just didn't expect the other party to be so direct, completely disregarding Shen Qian in front of everyone.
"What a pity..."
He shook his head.
"What's a pity?" Qu Bai replied tactfully.
"The name is nice, quite elegant, but the person... If I had known this would happen, Lord Tianning wouldn't have wasted his energy looking it up in the dictionary." Shen Qian sighed, glancing up and down at Consort Ning, his regret evident in his words.
A chorus of exclamations arose from all around, accompanied by numerous "Holy crap!"
Shen Qian's words were exceptionally venomous.
It's not just saying that Consort Ning herself is "lacking in charm," but also subtly mocking the Duke of Tianning for being uncultured, as a nobleman has to consult a dictionary to name himself.
Mocking Consort Ning is nothing, but directly slandering princes and nobles is something that ordinary people would not do.
After a moment of stunned silence, Consort Ning's face turned ashen, and she said in a cold voice, "What did you say!"
