Chapter 1807: Chapter 471: Painting Formation (Part 3)

"Brother Haotian has already done very well. When the battle starts, we’ll protect him at the center. Even if he’s the weakest, we can still guard him."

Another young man, emanating black energy all over, spoke.

Li Hao recognized him as a member of the Ghost Tribe, the same clan as those two Ghost Tribe sisters.

"That’s right."

Long Ying also nodded slightly. By now, they had acknowledged both Li Hao and Shi Miao. Although protecting Li Hao was somewhat risky for them, the rewards and commendations made it worthwhile.

Subsequently, Long Ying introduced six others to Li Hao. The fox-eared, beautiful woman was called Liuli, the Ghost Tribe member was Gui Xuanbing, and the young man in a black robe was Duan Yuan, from the Night Dragon Clan.

The remaining three were Wuyue, Yan Jing, and Zi Qianxue.

"Here at our Dragon Shield Seven Towers, it’s the same as the other towers—the higher the cultivation, the higher the floor you live on. Brother Haotian, you’re at the First Level of Immortal King Realm, so you should stay on the first floor."

Long Ying said to Li Hao.

Li Hao glanced at the lowest first floor and, indifferent, nodded, "No problem."

"Based on strength?"

Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on the black-robed young man, Duan Yuan, and said calmly, "In that case, I’ll try for the eighth floor."

"You want to challenge me?"

Duan Yuan sensed Shi Miao’s discontent towards him, possibly because he had been the first to oppose earlier. Without reservation, he said:

"Then let’s give it a try."

Both being at the Fourth Level of Immortal King Realm, Duan Yuan dared not underestimate the challenge.

"To challenge, you must go to the Duel Arena."

Long Ying said but didn’t stop them, wanting to see Shi Miao’s combat power. Compared to Li Hao, the student of the Immortal Emperor, he was more interested in Shi Miao. She was truly at the Fourth Level of Immortal King Realm, capable of joining the Mystic Armor Department and a trustworthy ally on the battlefield.

"No need for such trouble."

Shi Miao shook her head. Suddenly, her realm expanded, transforming into a fierce aura that swept towards Duan Yuan.

Duan Yuan’s expression changed as he felt the terrifying force within that realm. In shock, he instantly transformed into his black dragon form, roaring as he unleashed his realm.

But as soon as his realm was released, it was invaded by Shi Miao’s realm. With a pointed finger, a pale finger that seemed to have emerged from the annals of time slowly extended from her realm, massive enough to pierce through half of the Dragon Shield Seven Towers, pressing down on Duan Yuan.

Duan Yuan had just let out a dragon’s roar when the finger pressed on his head, slamming him against the Dragon Shield Seven Towers, spitting out blood.

Long Ying and the others were stunned by the scene.

Duan Yuan, second only to Long Ying among them, was completely suppressed by Shi Miao in an instant, already at a disadvantage!

Although Duan Yuan hadn’t yet unleashed his ultimate move, his realm was already invaded by the opponent. The gap was too evident.

"How could this be?"

"She... Could she also be a disciple of the Immortal Emperor? Surely, since they’re partners."

The others snapped back to reality, shocked in their hearts, while their eyes glowed with excitement. Such formidable combat power was a significant boost for their seventh floor, possibly compensating for Li Hao’s shortcomings.

Li Hao knew Shi Miao was venting for him, and promptly transmitted a message for her to be gentle.

Shi Miao retracted her power, the realm power ebbing away like a tide. She glanced at Duan Yuan, saying, "Challenging you was for your previous impudent words. It’s now water under the bridge. On the battlefield, we are comrades! If you have any grievances, express them now. But if I see any petty behavior on the battlefield, I won’t spare you!"

Hearing her words, the others exchanged glances, quietly relieved. Fortunately, although the young girl had a forceful nature, she was also reasonable. What they feared most was someone who suppressed everything inside and secretly caused trouble.

Duan Yuan’s body returned to his black-robed human form, with a somewhat pale complexion. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gave Shi Miao an angry look, but finally took a deep breath and said, "I lost, I concede, the eighth floor is yours."

"No need, I’ll stay on the second floor. I want to stay by his side."

Shi Miao replied indifferently.

Hearing this, Long Ying and the others were rendered speechless. So, the earlier challenge to Duan Yuan was purely to vent frustration.

Indeed, a woman’s sense of vengeance is strong.
