"Everyone underestimated his strength! Who could have imagined that he would advance through six levels of the realm in less than a year? How did he accomplish that?"
The crowd was immediately silenced.
But only for a moment before someone retorted: "Everyone says his maid is incredibly strong, an exceptional genius! Now it seems, his performance surpasses even hers!"
"Indeed! Compared to him, we are just ordinary people, worlds apart."

After taking care of the two shrimp beasts, Jiang Yuan approached the Black Turtle.
At that moment, she had fully retracted into her shell, remaining motionless.
"Come out!" Jiang Yuan said.
"I was wrong! Please spare my life!" A female voice plead from within the turtle shell, pitifully.
Then, she retracted herself even further into her shell.
After witnessing Jiang Yuan easily slay her two companions, the Black Turtle had a stark realization.
If she were to emerge, it would mean her demise.
