Qian Renxue stood at the edge of the Ring Sea, the sea breeze whipping her golden hair.
"Lord Evil God, I'll try first."
Cheng Ran yawned in her sea of consciousness. "Sure, go ahead. I'll watch. Nothing else to do anyway."
Qian Renxue pushed off with her toes. Eight Wings unfurled behind her, and she shot toward the sea like a streak of platinum light.
For the first second, the sea was as smooth as a mirror.
In the second, the Ring Sea suddenly erupted.
Waves surged up in an instant, crashing heavily against a golden barrier that appeared out of nowhere.
The instant golden light collided with seawater, an enormous depression formed across the surface, yet not a single drop splashed beyond the Ring Sea's boundary.
Qian Renxue stopped in midair. Seawater closed in from every direction, engulfing her entirely.
There seemed to be some special energy in the water, continuously eating away at her Soul Power.
Something was wrong with this water.
At the same time, a dense humming rose from underwater.
Qian Renxue looked down and saw countless blue-violet points of light beneath the surface, rising rapidly. Every point was an Arrowfish's eye.

The Arrowfish condensed their Soul Power into arrowheads outside their bodies. When the entire school charged together, it was like someone firing an underwater Gatling gun at you.
In just a few breaths, the Arrowfish had surrounded her.
They numbered at least a hundred, coming from every direction. Blue-violet light wove a vast net underwater, sealing off every escape route.
Qian Renxue did not panic.
