Dou Xingguang's eyes, which were originally filled with shame and anger, gradually became unfocused. He kicked his arms and legs, wanting to do something, but then let them hang down limply.
Later, he became completely lost in thought, and his eyes turned ashen.
Only then did Shen Qian straighten his cheek, his deep eyes piercing straight to the heart.
"How many of you are there?" Shen Qian asked.
"Hehehehe..." Dou Xingguang chuckled foolishly, as if he had thought of something.
Snap!
He slapped her again before sinking.
"explain."
"We...hey, almost everyone on the Seventh Heaven Ranking and the Eighth Heaven Ranking is here, hahaha, we're not afraid of Shen Qian, or even Lin Sanmo, ahahaha..."
"Because of the blessing of passing the imperial examination?"
Having anticipated this, Shen Qian paused briefly before asking the question.
"Shen Qian alone has seized the opportunity bestowed upon a thousand people, so what makes him dare to participate in the battle for the Nine Heavens?"
Dou Xingguang's face suddenly turned ferocious. "Since he doesn't know his own limitations, then we'll make him face reality!"
"And that Qu Bai... Ha, Jiangzhong Military Academy is a declining martial arts school, how come it has two people occupying the Nine Heavens Ranking!"
The mood before sinking became even more gloomy.
He certainly knew that he had won the honor of passing the imperial examination and was the one everyone had lost.
But he was fearless.
Especially after achieving a clear understanding of his own mind, Chen Qian had a vague idea of the "path" he wanted to take.
He viewed the battle of the Nine Heavens as a grand trial.
However, he never imagined that his actions would implicate his classmates and comrades.
So what is your plan?
Chen Qian asked in a low voice.
"Unite all forces to annihilate the entire Jiangzhong Army in the battle for the Nine Heavens, then surround and kill Qu Bai and Shen Qian, seize the golden light, grasp the opportunity, establish a reputation, and ascend to the Nine Heavens!"
Dou Xingguang said without hesitation, his voice firm and powerful.
Shen Qian released Dou Xingguang and fell into a long silence.
boom!
At that moment, thunder rumbled in the sky, and golden light shone down from afar. At the same time, a magnificent voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"The Three Heavenly Gates have been opened!"
The sound seemed to startle Ye Shicong and Xiao Ye from their daze. They exchanged a glance, and in the end, Ye Shicong stepped forward.
"Sinking forward..."
He turned back and looked at the two of them without saying a word.
"It's not that we're intentionally hiding it from you, it's just that the situation was already incredibly dire by the time we found out. Do you know that Da Kan was eliminated before even reaching the first level of the Heavenly Gate..."
“There are martial artists targeting Jiang Zhongjun everywhere. Even if they can’t beat them, they will tell everyone they meet.”
"It's impossible to move an inch, it's truly impossible to move an inch..."
Even Ye Shicong, who had maintained a resolute expression despite being surrounded and nearly killed by several people, now looked dejected and forlorn.
"In the First Heaven World alone, as far as I know, more than fifty people from Jiangzhong Military have been eliminated."
"This is a vast network that was woven before the battle for the Nine Heavens even began, behind which are not only half-step Mountain and Sea Realm experts, but also countless Mountain and Sea Realm warriors..."
"So what?" Shen Qian interrupted Ye Shicong, who was still explaining.
"Sinking, don't you understand? You are our only hope!"
Ye Shicong suddenly became excited, "Even Senior Qu Bai approves of this..."
"Qu Bai?" Shen Qian's expression regained some liveliness. "You saw him?"
“I saw you.” Xiao Ye nodded and continued, “In fact, he was the one who noticed it first. He… he told us not to say anything even if we saw you, because he had his own plans.”
"Although Senior Qu Bai didn't say it, how could we not understand what he was thinking?"
Ye Shicong said with a wry smile, "At this point, for the hundreds of people involved in the Jiangzhong military, this battle for the Nine Heavens has lost its meaning. Even if they don't gain any benefits, it's enough for them to protect themselves. But you are different, and Senior Qu Bai is different..."
"With your abilities, you still have a chance to reach higher places and compete for greater benefits!"
"Only in this way can our Jiangzhong military force not be considered utterly defeated, and even have a sliver of hope of overtaking them..."
"The reputation of Jiangzhong Military Force can only be carried by you."
Listening to Ye Shicong's advice, Shen Qian looked at the dim yellow sky that had begun to twinkle with stars, but his mind wandered.
Of course he understood what Yip Sai-chung was saying.
Or rather, even Qu Bai was worried that he might act impulsively or suffer a mental breakdown as a result.
In a sense, under such dire circumstances, the other members of Jiangzhong Military Forces became a "burden" to him and Qu Bai, even though the cause was clearly his own.
The most sensible course of action is to temporarily abandon them, preserve oneself, and wait for an opportunity to act.
“Shen Qian, listen to our advice. We really don’t care. Don’t overthink it. The Three Heavens Gate has opened now. If your Nine Heavens Token isn’t enough, we’ll give you ours. You need to ascend as quickly as possible.”
"Only in this way can you avoid being surrounded and killed as much as possible."
Xiao Ye nodded in agreement.
"Old Ye is right. I heard from Senior Qu Bai, who seems to know some inside information, that it is possible for people to have a rapid increase in strength in a short period of time in this Nine Heavens World. You should try to gain as many benefits as possible, and then take revenge for us when the time is right!"
Shen Qian finally came to his senses. He glanced at the expectant looks in their eyes and said noncommittally, "I understand."
"Sinking forward..."
Perhaps because Shen Qian's reaction was too calm, both of them were a little worried.
