171: Overwhelming strength
Relying on his absolute strength, Shen Xi single-handedly changed the situation outside the Sound Transmission Valley.
Originally, there were five small groups on the first level, but now these five small groups had all retreated to the second level, yielding their positions to Shen Xi.
As for the second level, they could only grudgingly retreat to the third level, and the third level completely lost the Opportunity to obtain sound transmission flowers.
This was the meaning of absolute strength!
Only with sufficiently powerful strength could one determine their own position and the positions of others.
No one expressed any dissatisfaction with this point.
Or rather, even if they were dissatisfied, no one dared to truly show it.
Shen Xi's power had deeply impressed everyone, and no one wanted to court disaster or discomfort.
“Rumble!”
Just as the changes in the situation were completed, a rumbling sound suddenly came from within the Sound Transmission Valley.
Upon seeing this, Shen Xi immediately raised his twelve-tenths of attention.
He knew that the Sound Transmission Valley's hourly tremor had appeared.
Sure enough, in the next second, three sound transmission flowers flew out from the Sound Transmission Valley.
Everyone present, upon seeing this, had their eyes glint with light, staring fixedly at the three sound transmission flowers.
Although Shen Xi now occupied the first level, he was only one person; facing three sound transmission flowers, could he block one, or two, but could he really block all three?
Shen Xi did not have three heads and six arms, so the difficulty of achieving this was simply too great.
Because of this, even the young talents on the second and third levels showed a hint of anticipation, hoping that Shen Xi would miss a sound transmission flower, giving them an Opportunity to pick up a stray.
“The speed is very fast, and the power is not low; the difficulty of intercepting them is considerable.”
Shen Xi naturally noticed this.
The speed at which the sound transmission flowers flew out was very fast, and their force was comparable to the full-strength strike of an Initial Stage of the Acquired Realm expert.
No wonder even when the five small groups occupied the first level before, there were still strays that allowed those on the second and third levels to pick up.
Even a Martial Artist with Heaven-Grade combat power, when fully intercepting, could at most only focus on blocking one sound transmission flower; in a situation where he could not Clone himself, the people behind naturally had a slight chance.
This was even when five small groups simultaneously moved to intercept, only able to block about eighty percent of the sound transmission flowers, let alone Shen Xi being alone.
Because of this, everyone willingly gave up their positions; in their opinion, no matter how strong Shen Xi was, it was impossible for him to intercept all the sound transmission flowers, so they still had a chance.
But was the result truly like this?
The answer quickly surfaced!
At the very first moment the sound transmission flowers appeared, Shen Xi moved.
He moved like a ghost, weaving through the first level's area, effortlessly intercepting the first sound transmission flower.
Not only that, but he did not stop, stepping forward to approach the position of the second sound transmission flower.
He reached out and grabbed it.
The sound transmission flower, comparable to the full-strength strike of an Initial Stage of the Acquired Realm expert, was so effortlessly caught in Shen Xi's hand.
The second one was taken into his possession.
And this was not the end; Shen Xi's efficiency was simply too fast.
After collecting two sound transmission flowers consecutively, the third sound transmission flower finally reached the area of the first level.
According to the rules, Shen Xi still had the priority right to obtain this sound transmission flower.
Shen Xi moved again.
With the same smooth execution, the third sound transmission flower had not yet left the first level's range and was also taken by him.
All three sound transmission flowers were collected!
“How could this be?!”
“He’s too terrifying, isn’t he?”
“I guessed he was strong, but isn’t this ridiculously strong?!”
“When five small groups acted simultaneously, the chance of obtaining sound transmission flowers was only eighty percent; he, as a single person, can obtain one hundred percent of the sound transmission flowers?!”
“Should I... should I leave?”
“Staying here seems pointless; with him here, we can't get a single sound transmission flower.”
Everyone couldn't help but start discussing.
They felt despair from the bottom of their hearts.
Shen Xi was simply too strong.
With him here, they simply couldn't obtain sound transmission flowers.
If that was the case, wouldn't staying here be completely meaningless?
They couldn't defeat him, didn't dare to snatch from him, and could only watch Shen Xi obtain the sound transmission flowers; it would be better to go elsewhere to seek Opportunity.
This was almost the common thought of everyone present.
Shen Xi chose to ignore this.
With his current combat power, intercepting sound transmission flowers was as easy as turning over his hand.
For others, the sound transmission flowers' speed was fast and their power strong, so whether they could even react was a problem, let alone having to frequently strike to dissipate the power carried by the sound transmission flowers to intercept them.
But for Shen Xi, was the speed very fast? It seemed like it was just a minor thing.
As for the power...
He didn't even put a full-strength strike of the Initial Stage of the Acquired Realm level in his eyes.
Things others couldn't do were as simple as eating and drinking water in front of Shen Xi.
Over the next few hours.
All the sound transmission flowers that flew out of the Sound Transmission Valley fell into Shen Xi's hands.
Soon, he had collected over a dozen sound transmission flowers.
After a rough estimation, the quantity was already sufficient, so Shen Xi did not linger further, turning to leave the first level's position.
“He, is he giving up the position?”
“It seems so.”
“As expected of a true expert; his purpose isn't to exchange sound transmission flowers for resources, but simply to use them for communication.”
“We are still here eagerly collecting sound transmission flowers, just to exchange for some needed resources, but his aspirations are not here; once his goal is achieved, he leaves.”
“I was just about to give up and leave, but I didn't expect my perspective was too small; what I thought was very important, in his eyes, wasn't even worth mentioning.”
Everyone showed incredible looks.
One sound transmission flower was worth at least one Innate-Grade weapon.
If they could guard here for a month, even without seeking any Opportunity, the harvest would be enough to exchange for a Heaven-Grade Low Grade weapon, right?
If it were them, they would definitely not choose to leave easily.
But unexpectedly, Shen Xi was so uninhibited, taking what he needed and not lingering, which made them feel the gap in their thinking with Shen Xi was simply not on the same level.
“Thank you!”
Shen Xi came before the Kind-faced Young Man and expressed his gratitude.
The other party had answered his questions and shown concern for him; Shen Xi had seen all of this.
As he spoke, he subtly, in a way imperceptible to others, delivered three sound transmission flowers into the Kind-faced Young Man's hand.
Upon seeing this, the Kind-faced Young Man was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth.
He hadn't expected that merely helping a little would result in such a great reward!
