Zhali's gaze followed Ji Wen's and shifted to Shen Qian.
Although the human race has a large population, there are only a few famous geniuses. Zhali glanced at the unfamiliar face in front of him and asked in confusion, "Who is he?"
“His name is Shen Qian. He comes from Mangshan and is one of the top geniuses of our human race. Your younger brother Zahe was seriously injured by him in one move.”
Ji Wen smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, not only did Zha Li's gaze shift rapidly, but also surprised whispers arose on the surrounding steps. Many powerful figures who had previously overlooked Shen Qian turned their scrutinizing gazes back to him.
Just a few seconds later, Zhali scoffed again, "Him?"
Not to mention Zha Li, even those powerful figures who had re-examined the situation before Shen Qian were somewhat disdainful.
Compared to most races, humans are not considered strong, and Shen Qian appears particularly thin and weak, hardly resembling the "top genius" Ji Wen described.
"Just look at him," Ji Wen said confidently. "Qingshui Town is right next to Mangshan Mountain. Besides, if you don't believe me, why don't you try it and see?"
When Ji Wen shifted the focus to Shen Qian, Shen Qian frowned.
Shen Qian wasn't too surprised that Ji Wen knew about what had happened in Qingshui Town, and even knew his name.
After all, they are the five major clans, and they must all have their own intelligence channels. What disgusted him was that Ji Wen had not consulted his opinion at all before pushing him out.
After a quick glance, Shen Qian's brows relaxed again. As countless eyes focused on him, he suddenly looked at Zha Li, then grinned, "That's right, the one who crippled your brother in one move was me."
The Giant Spirit Clan and the Human Clan are neighbors, and both sides are extremely familiar with each other's languages and customs. Zhali instantly understood the insult in Shen Qian's words, and his previously skeptical expression turned into one of rage.
"You're asking for it!"
Zhali roared, and the thunderous sound made the nearby fence vibrate. Zhali's body also swelled to eight meters tall, casting a shadow on the sand.
Although he was enormous, he was incredibly fast. As he charged forward, the other human warriors all retreated, and Gao Zhe also temporarily stepped aside at Shen Qian's signal.
The crowd on the surrounding high platforms was also surprised that the Giant Spirit Clan and the Human Clan had clashed before the main competition even started, and they immediately started making a ruckus.
Especially after hearing that the seemingly frail human was the culprit who caused Zah of the Giant Spirit Clan to be absent from this battle of ten thousand races, many people showed interest.
Although humans are born weak, they possess incredibly amazing talents, which often lead them to perform astonishing feats.
While Zahe wasn't considered top-tier within the Giant Spirit Clan, he was still ranked ninth among geniuses and had a small reputation among the myriad races. However, this human youth named Shen Qian was a complete stranger, and his strength was unknown.
However, as Zha Li rushed past, Chen Qian, who remained in place, exuded an aura of profound stillness and imposing grandeur, drawing the attention of many.
Just as everyone was watching closely, and it seemed that Zha Li was about to collide with Shen Qian, to everyone's surprise, Shen Qian suddenly turned around and ran away, almost falling to the ground in his disheveled state.
The group of human warriors were also taken aback. Jiang Ming was not too surprised. In his eyes, although Shen Qian had entered the Divine Realm, he was far inferior to Zha Li, who was obviously in the middle stage of the Divine Realm. After all, Shen Qian's main profession should be alchemist.
At Shen Qian's age, to have achieved such high accomplishments in alchemy and simultaneously enter the Divine Realm was already an astonishing feat, so naturally he could not possibly be a match for Zha Li.
This only proves that Zah was a complete waste, which may have led Shen Qian to have a misjudgment of his own strength.
Gao Zhe was the only one who found it strange. He knew in his heart that the strength in front of him was more than that, but he didn't know why Shen Qian was pretending to be weak.
Boos erupted throughout the arena, with many making no attempt to hide their mockery. What was expected to be a fierce battle turned into a complete and utter rout.
Seeing Shen Qian in such a sorry state, Zhali was stunned for a moment before bursting into wild laughter and chasing after Shen Qian with a mocking expression.
What gradually angered Zhali was that this thin human youth seemed vulnerable, but for some reason, his movements were incredibly slippery, and Zhali's attacks missed their mark several times in a row.
He looked disheveled amidst the flying dust, but in reality, he was not seriously injured.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zha Li was unable to take down Chen Qian for a long time. Finally, he became angry and reached out to grab a purple-gold hammer with a diameter of five meters from the void, and smashed it down towards Chen Qian.
Boom!
The purple-gold hammer, made of an unknown material, caused the earth to tremble with a casual swing, instantly boosting Zha Li's strength.
Shen Qian's situation became even more difficult. As if in a panic, he suddenly changed direction and rushed into the ranks of the human warriors watching from the sidelines.
With his momentum at its peak, Zhali paid no heed to these things and charged forward like a mad bull.
The human warriors who had been watching the battle with grim expressions were all taken aback, and their formation instantly fell into chaos.
Zhali saw that Shen had already slipped behind the crowd. Suddenly, he grinned maliciously, and the purple-gold hammer in his hand shone brightly. Then, he swung his arm and hurled the purple-gold hammer away.
boom!
The golden hammer, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed down towards Chen Qian's location with an aura that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart.
This was a battle between Zha Li and Chen Qian, and no one else wanted to get involved. So when Chen Qian first charged over, everyone frowned and dodged. When Zha Li actually threw the purple-gold hammer, everyone's expression changed, and they quickly moved away at an even faster speed.
