Apart from Shi Changhai, who is known as the "Stone King," the general combat strength of the others is between 60,000 and 110,000. They are not very strong but not weak either, and they are the backbone of the vast number of martial artists in the Mountain and Sea World.
After the documents were scattered all over the ground, Shenqian fell silent.
The lights in the lounge gradually went out after the sensor stopped working, plunging the entire hall back into darkness.
He remained motionless before sinking, but his thoughts were somewhat scattered.
Encountering Li Muyi again reminded him that he hadn't logged into the Hundred Kings Hall for quite some time.
Shen Qian couldn't pinpoint the source of his apprehension. Perhaps it was the lingering effects of the incident at No. 56, or perhaps it was a premonition that told him the Hundred Kings Palace wasn't as simple as it seemed after his mental strength broke through the second barrier.
So recently, I subconsciously ignored the existence of the golden ball before sinking.
But simply running away doesn't seem like a solution. The system's energy is running low, and the most convenient method right now is still to directly exchange for Source Stones within the Hall of Hundred Kings...
Last time the Heavenly Realm collapsed, Shen Qian forgot to search for the Source Stones while tracking Jiang Chengye, which was quite a mistake.
During the brief conversation, Shen Qian probed the situation and found that neither Li Muyi nor Qu Bai showed any unusual behavior. This indicated that there had been no changes within the Hundred Kings Palace due to the incident at No. 56.
Perhaps I should take the initiative to reveal Incident 56, in order to test the Star Council's reaction...
If there really is someone in league with Number 56 among the kings and nobles of the Star Council, it might expose some abnormalities.
Shen Qian thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible. In any case, he had already joined the Hundred Kings Palace and signed a contract. He couldn't escape anyway, so he might as well take control of the situation.
As Chen Qian was pondering the details, the door to room 37 opened with a "beep," and a mix of laughter and footsteps drifted in.
Click!
The motion-sensor lights came back on, illuminating the entire hall and revealing the figures who had entered through the door.
"One, two, three, four... nine, it's quite neat, which saves trouble."
As he silently counted the number of people who walked in, he couldn't help but nod and mutter to himself.
Upon entering the room, the group of martial artists who were chatting and laughing were taken aback when they saw Shen Qian, seemingly not expecting someone to be sitting still in the darkness.
After a brief silence, the burly middle-aged man at the front chuckled, looked away, and chatted with another woman in black beside him as he walked past Shen Qian and headed straight for the second floor.
The others reacted similarly, glancing at Chen Qian before looking away and following the burly middle-aged man upstairs.
Shen Qian nodded slightly. The glance Shi Changhai had given him just now made him quite certain that the other party had recognized him.
This would rule out the possibility that the other party switched to the "Silver Snake" team due to a misunderstanding.
"Smack!"
He snapped his fingers before sinking.
Just as Shi Changhai was about to step onto the first step, he suddenly stumbled, because the entire staircase, made of alloy and integrated with the room, had abruptly disappeared.
Having reached the second level of mental power and further mastered the "words become law" ability, he could already alter some basic rules through simple actions, such as temporarily concealing the staircase.
Shi Changhai easily regained his balance, but the anger of being mocked made his face turn cold, and he suddenly turned to look at Shen Qian sitting in the chair.
The others also stopped in their tracks, turning their gazes toward them with either surprise or amusement.
Are you using these childish tricks to vent your anger?
Shi Changhai stared at Shen Qian and sneered, "I don't know what the Martial Arts Department was thinking, or if you went through some back channels to make a greenhorn like me the captain of the patrol team and assign me to your command, but you should have expected the current situation."
"You don't really think we'll willingly follow your orders, do you?"
The others just smiled lightly, maintaining their superior attitude, their gazes towards Chen Qian revealing a certain pity and disdain.
"You took my armor."
Shen Qian did not respond, but his gaze shifted downwards, and he saw the half-body armor that was vaguely visible under the combat uniforms of several of them, which was the same style as the armor that Bai Fei and the others had received.
You mean this?
The woman in black standing next to Shi Changhai, the martial artist named Zhu Wenxian, lifted half of her clothes, touched the metal armor at her waist, and then curled the corners of her mouth.
"I'd heard before that you were like this in the Deer and Tree Camp, using a lot of martial arts resources to win people's hearts. I never thought it was true!"
Zhu Wenxian chuckled and said, "My silly cousin actually thinks that you deserve to be the commander of ten thousand... Tsk tsk, anyway, I have to thank you for your generosity."
Xiong Sheng and the others nearby also burst into laughter.
Why bother talking to him?
Shi Changhai sneered and shook his head, still not taking Shen Qian to heart, and moved his feet to leap directly to the second floor.
But he failed once again.
A dignified martial artist from the Ninth Heaven of the Mountain and Sea Realm slipped and nearly fell to the ground.
What kind of bizarre method is this?
Shi Changhai's face darkened completely after being humiliated once again. A violent aura emanated from him. Just when everyone thought he was about to make a move, Shi Changhai suddenly relaxed and sneered.
"Little brat, do you think I don't know what you're up to?"
Shi Changhai scoffed, "You think you can provoke me like this, make me strike first, and then you'll have a reason to complain to the king?"
