One thing is certain.
As long as the Classic of Mountains and Seas is famous, then it starts with the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Wu Yi himself is rumored to have already stepped into the realm of the Mountain and Sea, and with the addition of a Mountain and Sea monster known for its sneak attacks and assassinations, his combat power is more than doubled.
"It was just good luck. This 'Red-Eyed' was just a cub, and it only ranked around the hundredth on the list of strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Otherwise, how could I have had the ability to subdue it?"
Wu Yi spoke modestly, but a hint of smugness unconsciously crept onto his lips.
"Wu Yi, it's rumored that you entered a B-level 'gate' alone to have this encounter. Is that true?" someone suddenly asked. "Could you share some information about that 'gate'?"
"Hehe, what B-level 'gate'? It's all just rumors."
Since it concerned his own secrets, Wu Yi could only laugh it off.
Seeing that the crowd was still quite persistent, Wu Yi, feeling helpless, turned his gaze and suddenly saw a tall figure standing quietly on the edge of the rooftop. He immediately spoke up: "Everyone, can't you just focus your anger on me?"
While everyone was stunned, he pointed at the figure and said, "That was just a rumor, but Lin Sanmo has been confirmed to have entered the A-level 'gate' not long ago. Shouldn't you be investigating him instead?"
A silence fell over the high platform, and many people turned their gaze to the figure standing silently on the edge of the rooftop. Many hesitated to speak, and the atmosphere was quite eerie.
Wu Yi was surprised that no one spoke up for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Even though the news that the elites of Beiwu had collectively entered an A-level "gate" for training before "Stepping into the Nine Heavens" has been confirmed online, no one has mentioned this topic today, as if they are all avoiding something.
The answer is obvious: it's simply because of that figure who never participated in any of the discussions.
Has the shadow of being suppressed by Lin Sanmo with a single sword strike years ago not completely dissipated by now?
Even he himself would unconsciously feel wary of Lin Sanmo, let alone others.
"Lin Sanmo, what are you looking at?"
However, there are always those who are not afraid of Lin Sanmo. A young man carrying a long sword asked.
Strangely, the young man's longsword was broken in half.
The crowd's voices grew even softer, as if at this moment, only the young man carrying the sword was qualified to speak with Lin Sanmo.
Lin Sanmo, who had been standing with his back to everyone and carrying his sword, suddenly turned slightly to the side. Wu Yi was secretly surprised, thinking that the aloof Lin Sanmo had changed his personality, when he heard the other party utter four words in a low voice.
“Shen Qian has arrived.”
Before sinking?
The people on the platform were taken aback at first, then a strong wind rose, and in an instant, more than ten people were on the edge of the platform, their eyes turning to the gate of the manor.
Wu Yi was one of them.
If there's one name that's become incredibly famous lately, then Shen Qian is undoubtedly the only answer.
It ranked first on the college trending topics list, first on short video searches, first on blog topics, and first on the teen idol list...
While it's undeniable that the moment was most memorable because it coincided with the end of the Nine Heavens Cup, the opponent's reputation had indeed reached its zenith among the younger generation.
Such a magnificent scene was something even Lin Sanmo had never witnessed back then.
Although this was largely due to Lin Sanmo's deliberate low profile, Wu Yi was well aware of how much exaggeration was in the news about Lin Sanmo, but this did not prevent him from developing a great curiosity about this boy named Chen Qian.
The holographic video of that final battle has spread across the entire internet.
Wu Yi has watched it no less than ten times.
Regarding that stab...
Unfortunately, the brilliance of the time was too great, and the specific situation was not clear, but one thing was generally agreed upon.
Before sinking, he possessed at least the strength of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Eighteen years old.
Three realms of mountains and seas.
He came from humble beginnings.
Three words combined to form a myth.
"No wonder Lin Sanmo has been standing by the platform the whole time; it seems his curiosity about this boy is no less than mine..."
While Wu Yi was lost in thought, three people entered the manor amidst the bowing welcome of the waiters.
"Qu Bai and Feng Manlin are here too. It seems that the young man next to him must be Shen Qian. Wow, he's really young."
"This little brother is actually a bit more handsome in person than in the videos, hehe..."
"Do you really think he possesses the Three Heavens of Mountains and Seas?"
Amidst the scrutinizing gazes, someone suddenly asked a question.
"Song Jinyao, what do you mean by asking this? Don't you believe me?" another voice chimed in with an ambiguous tone.
"I just think that, since most of us weren't there at the time, even according to the descriptions of those of you who were there, Shen Qian only made one stab, and his vision was also obscured. Who knows what the real situation was?"
The young man named Song Jinyao shrugged and said, "I've met Wang Shuo too. He has good talent, but his temperament is a bit lacking. He's a bit impetuous, and people like that are most likely to expose their fatal flaws."
"Bai Fei, I saw online that some students from Suzhou University of Science and Technology said that you fought him?"
A pretty young girl asked the young man carrying a sword.
"Is that so?" Song Jinyao's eyes lit up instantly. "Bai Fei, is what she said true?"
“I did fight him. I struck him once, and… I lost by half a move.”
The young man with a weathered face, carrying a sword, nodded and said calmly.
As soon as these words were spoken, most people's eyes fell on Bai Fei, revealing inquisitive expressions.
