It transformed into an enormous golden spear and a black halberd.

With a hissing sound!

The sky seemed to be torn apart.

Their attacks were perfectly aligned, seemingly landing squarely on each other.

But the pockmarked old man vanished in an instant, as if he had never appeared at all, despite the constant searching by the sensory system.

"There's a problem..."

Yuwen Tuo and Ye Tianfan instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Just as I was about to do something, I noticed that the color of the manta ray under my feet was a bit off.

Then I saw...

The pockmarked old man reappeared.

He raised his hand and gently tapped their foreheads, and the two of them collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless to resist.

"Level nine?!"

"This old man is a level nine?!"

Yuwen Tuo and his companion wanted to shout a warning to everyone.

But the other party only touched me, and it seems that some kind of venom was injected, causing my body to be completely out of control.

The pockmarked old man glanced around and gave a faint smile: "Aren't you all very curious about who I am? Well then I'll tell you... My name is Eric, and I'm an old sea creature who likes to sleep in."

"Your Dawn Society is developing very well. You just passed the test of your strength, and I am very satisfied."

"..."

But before the words had even finished,

A crow landed in front of him without him noticing.

Standing above was a burly man, Zhang Hao exuding an aura far exceeding level eight: "Since you tested the strength of my subordinates, it would be impolite not to return the favor. I'll test your strength in return."

In an instant,

An indescribable pressure descended.

Eric's expression immediately changed, and he said in a tactful tone, "Ahem, sir, please don't be angry. They were just slightly injured. I didn't kill them. I'm here to make a deal with you."

Zhang Hao's tone left no room for argument, his eyes icy: "Who gave you the right to bully my people? As for the deal... let me beat you up first."

"As a basic return gift, I won't kill you, I'll just beat you half to death."

P.S.: Time to rest.

I'll get back to everyone tomorrow, love you all!
