Shen Qian didn't know how the system did it, but when he came to his senses, the three white pebbles that looked like lotus seeds had already turned into streams of light, nimbly avoiding all the large hands reaching out to them, and rushed towards him.
"You bastard!"
The four figures who had already surpassed Shen Qian were startled by this sudden turn of events. They quickly turned around, but it was too late. They could only watch helplessly as the pebbles disappeared into Shen Qian's hand.
The numerous mountains and seas rushing in from behind were a step too slow and had to stop as well.
In an instant, numerous sharp gazes, seemingly tangible, all focused on Shen Qian.
If an ordinary martial artist were standing in this spot, they would probably faint on the spot just from being stared at by so many martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realms.
"Shen Qian, is that you?"
At this moment, a voice mixed with shock, anger, and surprise came from ahead, causing Shen Qian, who had just calmly put away the white lotus seeds, to look up in astonishment.
The voice wasn't exactly familiar, but he recognized the person immediately upon seeing their face.
"Seasonal Tour!"
Shen Qian's gaze fixed on one of the four figures, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The person being stared at by Shen Qian was a young man in black, who looked to be around thirty years old. His face was originally handsome, but a scar running through his eye and nose added a lot of ferocity to him.
With the vastness of mountains and seas, what kind of scars cannot be healed?
The young man in black deliberately left this scar, clearly to commemorate something.
The fourth disciple of Duke Yanshang, Ji You!
At the end of the Nine Heavens Cup, when Shen Qian was about to kill Wang Shuo, it was Ji You who appeared and stopped Shen Qian.
Although Ji You failed in the end, the two became enemies because of it.
Now, facing this young man who made no attempt to conceal the murderous intent in his eyes, Shen Qian had a completely new feeling.
That day, everyone was watching. Shen Qian humiliated Ji You with a single move. Even though he knew there was a gap in their cultivation levels, he didn't really think Ji You was that strong.
Moreover, the fact that the third senior brother Shi Dingyan immediately intimidated Ji You with his first move also gave Shen Qian the illusion that he was "nothing special".
But at this moment, when Chen Qian also stepped into the realm of mountains and seas, and when he stood at the same height as his opponent, his eyes were filled with solemnity.

The simple phrase "seven heavens and seas" is not enough to describe the young man in black before us.
Because he had slaughtered more than one expert at the seventh level of the Mountain and Sea Realm before he sank in, Ji You gave him a faint sense of danger.
Unconsciously, a faint golden light flashed in Shen Qian's eyes, and he had already used the Eye of Truth.
Ji You's realm was not much higher than his, but in an instant, the Yuan power flowing in Ji You's body and the faint phantom of the Great Dao appeared in Shen Qian's field of vision.
An incredibly intuitive feedback was projected into Shen Qian's mind.
This was the first time Shen Qian had used the Eye of Truth to measure a martial artist's true combat strength, and he found it to be surprisingly effective.
150,000 to 200,000!
This is the numerical range that the Eye of Truth feeds back into Shen Qian's mind.
This means that, excluding any hidden trump cards, Ji You's combat power definitely exceeds 150,000!
It is almost twice as high as the data measured when the system possessed and sank.
Normally, the combat power of a seventh-level cultivator in the Mountain and Sea Realm is around 70,000. 200,000 is already three times that, which is at least the level of a second or third level cultivator in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Although the huge difference in combat power does not necessarily indicate the outcome of a real fight between the two, it is enough to demonstrate Ji You's formidable strength.
It should be noted that the initial combat strength of the king's avatar who entered the Dao through the art of alchemy before the sinking was only 120,000.
With a direct comparison, Shen Qian vaguely felt that something was not quite right. No matter how strong this season's game was, it could never be on par with a king or noble.
Clearly, the problem lies with his own status as a king or nobleman.
However, Shen Qian is currently unsure which part of the process went wrong, causing the King's clone to be so "weak".
While Shen Qian was observing Ji You, whose mind was racing, Ji You was also observing Shen Qian in his own way.
"You've improved really quickly."
Ji You said this with a hint of sarcasm, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, because he realized that he was not confident of killing the enemy with a single blow.
This is the most accurate intuition gleaned from countless life-or-death battles.
Just two months ago, Mingming, the genius who looked down on everyone in the Nine Heavens Cup, was nothing more than a lackey in his eyes.
Such a rapid pace of progress was unprecedented in Ji You's life, and a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.
As the two inexplicably entered into a standoff, the surrounding martial artists also heard the name "Chen Qian," and many of them showed surprised expressions.
During the Nine Heavens War, only a small portion of the people from the mountains and seas were present. Most of them had only vaguely heard of this young man who had stirred up the Nine Heavens War and almost triggered a war between kings and nobles.
"That treasure is not something you can covet. Hand it over, and then you can leave."
Seeing that Shen Qian didn't respond, Ji You's expression turned cold, and he said indifferently.
A barrage of intense gazes fell upon Shen Qian. Although probably more than 90% of the martial artists present did not know what the white lotus seed was, it was enough that it came from the bronze gate that was said to be the place where the Nine Kings proved their Dao.
What if there's a secret hidden within that allows one to rise to the top and become a martial king in one step?
"What kind of rare treasure is this? How come I don't know anything about it?" Shen Qian asked in confusion.
