Outrageous! Your cute plant spirits are more powerful than dragon spirits?

Ten years later.

Outside the sealed-off area enclosed by the spiritual energy barrier.

The soldiers on guard were talking in hushed tones.

Their eyes would occasionally drift towards the center, shrouded in layers of restrictions, where Qin Wen was located.

"Hey, tell me, this guy's been in there for ten years, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

A young soldier looked at the veteran beside him with a puzzled expression, his eyes filled with curiosity and worry.

He has only been guarding this place for a few short years.

But this long wait felt like it would never end.

Each shift consisted of looking at the unchanging, sealed-off area.

Their minds were filled with speculation about what was going on inside.

The veteran took a deep breath, his gaze lingering on the distance, and slowly said, "Who knows?"

"The higher-ups have given a strict order: we must guard this place well and there must be no mistakes."

"This is too strange. I've been in the army for so many years and I've never encountered anything like this before."

His face bore the marks of time.

Having experienced countless battles, he originally thought that nothing in the world could make him feel so powerless.

But Qin Wen's matter has left him deeply perplexed.

"I heard that when he was first discovered, he seemed to be possessed by something."

"He was completely dazed, staring blankly at the statue."

"The military tried all sorts of methods, but they couldn't wake him up. It was as if his soul had been taken away, leaving only his body."

Another soldier came over and whispered, his face full of mystery.

"Yes, and don't you find it strange? Ever since he fell into this state, the world around him seems to have become a little strange."

"For the past ten years, we have been stationed here."

"But I can sense some inexplicable fluctuations from time to time, and I'm always worried that something bad will happen."

The veteran frowned and said with concern.

He clearly remembered the faint fluctuations emanating from the locked-down area.

Each time, it made his heart beat faster involuntarily.

It was as if an invisible hand was quietly plucking the strings of fate.

But they knew nothing about the music that was about to be played.

The young soldier nodded slightly, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes: "I hope he wakes up soon; this waiting is just too agonizing."

"It feels like a sword is hanging over my head, and I don't know when it will fall."

They all knew that they were protecting more than just a person who had fallen into a coma.

It is also an unknown danger, a danger that has been waiting for a long decade.

The seeds of unease have already been sown in their hearts, and as time goes by, they continue to take root and sprout.

The soldiers were engrossed in discussing Qin Wen's condition.

The low murmurs of conversation echoed outside the quiet, cordoned-off area.

Sudden.

A powerful and mysterious force erupted from the center of the sealed-off area.

The power, like a surging tide, swept outwards in an instant.

The whole world seemed to be shaken violently by an invisible giant hand.

The earth trembled slightly, and the light on the spiritual energy barrier flickered violently before shattering in an instant.

The surrounding air became restless, howling and forming gusts of wind that made the soldiers' clothes flutter loudly.

However, this turmoil lasted only a moment before the world quickly returned to calm.

It was as if that breathtaking scene was just an illusion.

But the soldiers knew this was no illusion.

The look of terror still lingered on their faces, and their bodies trembled slightly from the tension.

"What exactly is going on?"

The soldiers were so shocked that they stood up one after another, gripping their weapons tightly, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

They turned around abruptly almost simultaneously.

All eyes turned to the direction where Qin Wen was behind the spiritual energy barrier.

A dazzling halo appeared around Qin Wen's body.

The halo was initially very soft, like the morning sun shining through a thin mist.

But soon, it became intense, like the blazing sun shining brightly.

"He...he seems to be waking up!"

A soldier shouted, his voice trembling with a mixture of fear and barely suppressed excitement.

"Was that power... it that just now released from him?"

A young soldier stared wide-eyed.

She stared in terror at Qin Wen inside the spiritual energy barrier, her voice trembling with nervousness.

He felt as if his heart was about to burst out of his chest.

The oppressive feeling brought by that sudden, powerful force made his legs feel weak.

“If it gets out of control, there will be big trouble!” another soldier chimed in.

His forehead was covered in cold sweat, which slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground at his feet.

He gripped the weapon tightly in his hand.

The knuckles turned white from the force, as if trying to gain a sense of security from the familiar touch.

But his slightly trembling hands betrayed his inner fear.

They all knew that this force was more powerful than they could have imagined.

If it were to spread uncontrollably, not to mention the soldiers who were guarding it.

The entire region, and even more distant areas, will likely suffer annihilation.

The veteran's face was as somber as the clouds before a storm.

His eyes were sharp as he stared intently at Qin Wen, wary of any changes in that power.

He quickly made arrangements: "We'll stay here and watch. Xiao Li, you go and report everything that's happening here."

The veteran's voice was deep and powerful, standing out clearly in the tense atmosphere.

When Xiao Li heard the veteran's words, he was first taken aback, and then he immediately realized what was going on.

He swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down: "Yes!"

Then he turned and ran wildly toward the camp.

After a while.

Qin Wen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing like two bright suns.

He stood up, stretched his stiff body, and glanced around.

Only then did he notice the soldiers guarding outside the spiritual energy barrier, their faces filled with fear and vigilance.

“You have nothing to be afraid of.”

"who are you!"

"Stand there and don't move."

The voices of both sides rang out almost simultaneously.

Qin Wen's voice was calm and gentle.

The soldiers' voices trembled with tension, their words carrying an instinctive wariness.

Their words collided in the air, creating a subtle standoff.

Qin Wen remained calm, as if he had anticipated the soldiers' tense reaction.

When the soldiers heard Qin Wen's voice, they couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

Their eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion, and they didn't know how to respond for a moment.

The person in front of me clearly exudes a gentle aura.

But that terrifying power that just erupted from him.

Yet it haunted them like a nightmare, making them dare not slack off in the slightest.

after awhile.

The veteran took a deep breath and mustered his courage to step forward.

He tried to keep his voice steady and said, "Senior, please forgive me, that power was too terrifying."

The veteran's eyes were fixed on Qin Wen, filled with both awe and respect.

There was also a hint of worry that was hard to hide.

Fine beads of sweat were faintly visible on his forehead.

"We need to wait for our superiors to arrive."

The veteran continued, his words firm, but his slightly trembling lips betrayed his inner unease.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I had some insights and didn't stop my power in time."

Qin Wen nodded to him, a hint of apology in his eyes.

He knew his actions had greatly frightened the soldiers, and he understood their caution at that moment.

In his eyes, the soldiers' loyalty to their posts and their courage in the face of unknown dangers deserve his respect.
