To pull such tricks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Jiu continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard to say. Perhaps they intend to exploit the title of 'Strongest Player' for something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging by this move, they're clearly using the engagement banquet to force his appearance. Tsk, I didn't expect their relationship to run this deep. Personally, I don't think he should have come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now that he's actually shown up, they might regret it. Can they even handle this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Jiu's tone carried undisguised schadenfreude.

Otherwise, you're no different from the cannon fodder earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like thunder striking earth, Hell's Roar—an Epic-grade weapon—displayed firepower utterly disproportionate to its classification, the explosive force staggering all witnesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this time, there was no instant annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden shields spun violently in midair, sent soaring by the blast's shockwave before slowly descending intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield-protected man revealed Western-influenced yet distinctly East Asian features, his face darkening as he observed his dimmed defensive barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inwardly, he was terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his speech remained condescending as he glared at Lu Ce:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I said—do you truly believe yourself the highest mountain in this world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, your perspective remains... limited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the recreational beach, data-enthusiasts watching the events frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To withstand that attack...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet I have no recollection of this expert?
