Lu Qian’s mind was a blur. All he could remember was the sea of fire behind him and the vast ocean ahead. To retreat was to burn; to advance was to drown. Weighing his options, he had leaped from the great ship, only to find himself swarmed by the Brave Champion Army before he could even hit the water. They had grabbed him like an octopus, dragging him down into the depths.
Though Lu Qian was a strong swimmer capable of holding his breath, that didn't mean he could survive without oxygen. Eventually, he swallowed a bellyful of water, and just as he reached his limit, his head spun, and he blacked out.
He wasn't sure if he was alive or dead, but he could hear voices echoing in his ears.
