Since Chen Qian had already destroyed his eight-star "literary position," those who still harbor hostility towards him now are undoubtedly targeting him personally.
Two hundred billion in martial arts resources, a century-long right to reside in a subterranean city, and a promise from a king...
With fewer than 20,000 people, the number was actually far below the psychological expectations before the sinking.
"Listen to me, everyone! Shen Qian is definitely at his last gasp right now!"
A martial artist at the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm stepped forward and shouted, "Don't rush in all at once! It's best to split into several waves and attack in turn, just in case he has any other desperate trump cards up his sleeve!"
"Xia Yanjun, Weng Tianye... don't hold back either. As for who takes Shen Qian's life in the end, that's up to each of you!"
The martial artist finally called out names from among the peak-level martial artists of the Mountain and Sea Realm present. Each of them was a renowned figure in the city of the Earth's Core, and there were nearly a hundred of them gathered here.
Shen Qian couldn't help but marvel at the accuracy of Wu Wei's intelligence; almost all the faces matched the list Wu Wei had given him.
When he faced the attack of ten thousand men, he appeared as calm as a mountain, but in reality, he was always on guard. He knew that these mere hundred men were the real threat, while the other rabble, no matter how many there were, could not pose a fatal danger to him.
However, these individuals who have reached the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm are clearly not reckless. While everyone was charging in, they were mostly observing and waiting, and they still retain their full combat strength.
Moreover, Shen Qian knew that the threat didn't just come from these people...
Any normal peak-level martial artist from the Mountain and Sea realm, or even someone whose combat power once reached Xu Nian's level, would most likely have perished here today.
If it weren't for the arduous training I undertook at the Vientiane Pagoda over the past six months, I wouldn't have been confident of surviving the "Sea of Learning" before sinking.
But now... none of that matters anymore.
They only saw that Shenqian was teetering on the brink of collapse, his soul power seemingly about to be exhausted at any moment. They had no idea that in the newly generated filing cabinet, there was a wealth of "knowledge" that Shenqian had forgotten.
The spiritual power of the Seven Forbidden Ones is already vast beyond the comprehension of ordinary mountains and seas.
This level is probably only for kings and nobles at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level who specialize in cultivating spiritual power.
In a sense, as long as the filing cabinet is not completely used up, the light symbolizing the soul on Shen Qian's body will not be extinguished.
But who knew that what appeared to be a filing cabinet was actually a bottomless ocean...
While Cui Jing, a peak-level martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm, was methodically overseeing the plan to encircle and kill Shen Qian, Shen Qian merely curled the corner of his mouth and then closed his eyes.
"Tantai, help me guard the outer perimeter."
Tantai Qin, whose longsword was already drawn, was frowning slightly when she suddenly heard Shen Qian's voice transmission. Before she could understand what was going on, Shen Qian's eyes had already opened again.
Tantai Qin's body trembled slightly, and she was momentarily lost in thought.
She saw it again... those eyes that had once deeply moved her.
Profound, vast, like the starry sky, like the sea, boundless and captivating.
It was through those eyes that Tantai Qin saw her past and her destined future.
Somehow, the human emotions she thought she could never find again surged forth uncontrollably.
Even now, Tantai Qin still doesn't quite understand family and friendship. To be honest, she doesn't even have any feelings for her master, Duke Yanshan.
Only in Shen Qian's body could she feel the stirrings deep within her soul. By now, she could no longer tell where it began or whether this feeling was pure.
That doesn't matter anymore... Even if it's fate, she accepts it.
The next moment, Tantai Qin understood what Shen Qian meant by those words.
Before sinking, a light several times brighter than before the attack suddenly erupted from his body. While everyone was bewildered, he crashed into the crowd like a shooting star.
Cui Jing, who was still strategizing, changed his expression drastically, just like the deceased Yan Kuan, and felt the danger of death in an instant.
"Make your move! Make your move quickly!"
He didn't know why his soul power, which had been completely depleted before sinking, could recover to its peak in an instant, even surpassing its previous level. All he knew was that he was going to die. Even with several peak-level martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm supporting him, he felt no sense of security whatsoever.
With almost the sharpest voice of his life, Cui Jing shouted it out.
boom!
The four peak-level martial artists from the nearby mountains and seas reacted quickly, immediately joining forces to block Shen Qian's path. Cui Jing, who was facing Shen Qian's blade, did not hesitate at all and retreated rapidly backward.
"roll!"
Before sinking, he uttered a cold word from his throat. As his blade slashed down, it sent the four peak Mountain and Sea Realm warriors who had joined forces flying backward, their faces filled with horror.
Even after observing for so long and knowing that Shen Qian's strength was unbelievably high, it was only in this direct confrontation that one could truly feel the despair-inducing gap in strength.
You should know that you can only exert half of your combat power in the "Sea of Learning". How much more powerful would you be in the real world?
Of course, they misunderstood. With the system by his side, Shen Qian could exert more than half of his combat power in the sea of knowledge. With the difference between the two, the gap was naturally ridiculously large.
Whoosh!
In the instant before sinking, he passed through the gap where the four people were blasted away, catching up with Cui Jing at a speed that ordinary people could not even see.
"Hahaha, Shenqian, kill me...kill me and you'll die too!"
Cui Jing's fighting spirit was ignited, and he laughed fiercely.
Although he was targeted by Shen Qian and could hardly escape, Shen Qian deliberately crashed into the deepest part of the crowd.
