Suddenly a groan came from the side, and Shen Qian remembered that he had a companion.
He was quite surprised, though. He himself had only survived thanks to a cheat code, yet Sun Zuo was still alive.
He had assumed that Sun Zuo would most likely choose to withdraw from the academy.
Turning my head, I saw Sun Zuo crawling out of a pile of coral, grinning. He looked quite miserable, with countless holes all over his body, even on his face, and was slowly and laboriously recovering.
However, Shen Qian keenly noticed that although he looked miserable, his soul power had not actually suffered any serious damage.
How did you do that?
How did you do that?
The two of them said in unison.
In the end, Sun Zuo shook his head and smiled, and spoke first, "I had some fortuitous encounters before, and cultivated a soul-based supernatural power. Although I haven't mastered it yet, I at least have some ability to protect myself, but I almost didn't make it through."
"Oh, the teacher gave me a secret treasure."
Shen Qian nodded and gave a simple explanation.
"...Okay, I almost forgot who your teacher is. You're awesome."
Sun Zuo could only manage a wry smile.
Although the Marquis of Jingcheng was only a marquis, in the eyes of many people he was in no way inferior to a duke. The people of Shanhai were not fools. After all, the Marquis of Jingcheng and the Duke of Yanshan had been enemies for so many years. If the Marquis of Jingcheng was really inferior to the Duke of Yanshan, why would the two be called mortal enemies?
Shen Qian suddenly sensed something was off. "Don't you think it's a little too bright around us?"
Sun Zuo was also taken aback when he heard this. As top-tier experts in the Mountain and Sea realm, they should have been very sensitive to changes in the environment, but perhaps their minds were still numb, and they only noticed the abnormality now.
The two turned their heads at the same time, and almost simultaneously gasped, becoming somewhat stunned.
"What a paradise on earth this is..."
Perhaps because of the ultimate dreamlike state, the two did not make any rash moves, but Sun Zuo couldn't help but mutter a word.
Sweeping through the storm, the two were no longer where they had been, and were now in an unfamiliar sea.
But that's not the point. The point is that this area of the sea is shimmering with colorful and dazzling light, and the intensity of the light is more than ten times stronger than before.
Moreover, many of the rays of light are no longer scattered dots, but rather clusters and patches, each forming a magnificent spectacle.
Just then, a dazzling light floated over from within their reach.
Shen Qian subconsciously reached out and grabbed the ball of light.
Upon being touched before sinking, the mysterious object immediately lost its radiance and transformed into a simple book.
The book was printed with two large characters: "Imperial Censor".
Before Chen Qian could react, Sun Zuo jumped up, "Hiss... Imperial Censor, this is a three-star literary rank!"
Shen Qian was also surprised to hear that it was a three-star literary rank, but he was also a little surprised by Sun Zuo's exaggerated reaction. So what if it was a three-star literary rank? It was still a low-level literary rank, just a little better than what he had encountered before.
"Shen Qian, haven't you realized what's happening yet?"
Sun Zuo was very excited, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Books..."
After Shen Qian finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You mean here..."
“Returning to simplicity, among the nine great seas of knowledge, only one place will present its knowledge in the form of real books!” Sun Zuo laughed heartily.
Shen Qian turned his head and looked around, still somewhat incredulous. "Is this the legendary 'Zhonghai'?"
“Absolutely genuine!” Sun Zuo laughed. “I never expected that this storm of knowledge would directly open the entrance to ‘Zhonghai,’ and we’ll definitely be among the first to enter. Shen Qian, we’ve made a killing this time!”
Shen Qian was quite surprised. The Zhonghai, which had disappeared for more than two hundred years, had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, judging from the knowledge gathered around, this place could indeed only be the Zhonghai, a rich sea area that had obviously accumulated for a long time but had never been visited.
What are you still standing there for?
The sunken ship has reappeared in the sea. Before it sank, it wouldn't be foolish enough to think that others wouldn't notice. At this point, it's naturally a matter of first come, first served.
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
Sun Zuo seemed to awaken from a dream, and followed closely behind, rushing off in another direction to frantically grab those dazzling lights.
At this moment, the two of them didn't have time to distinguish whether the texts were genuine or not; they simply grabbed all the knowledge radiance within their field of vision as quickly as possible.
Several minutes later, once they were sure that no bright light could be seen in their field of vision, the two stopped what they were doing and returned to their previous meeting point.
There was no one else around at the moment, so the two began to tally up their "literary rank" gains.
Once all the official documents had been tallied, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, their initial excitement gone.
Of the 123 Guanghua Regiments, only 39 truly reached the "Wenwei" level.
Of these thirty-nine literary positions, there are twenty-one one-star literary positions, nine two-star literary positions, seven three-star literary positions, and two four-star literary positions.
As for those with a rank of five stars or higher, there were none.
"Perhaps these 'literary ranks' came too easily, and I didn't feel that it was a great gain, even though a four-star literary rank was the minimum requirement I had expected."
Sun Zuo said with a complicated expression.
"I feel the same way."
Shen Qian nodded, "But no matter what, it's still a great harvest, at least we have a safety net... Let's divide it up first."
Sun Zuo nodded, dividing the "literary positions" he had received one by one, while casually remarking, "If only we could really find a 'mountain of books,' then all these literary positions would truly be valuable..."
