Crisis or Opportunity?

"What happened?" Gu Ding, clad in black robes, suddenly appeared not far from Scarlet.

This black-robed Gu Ding was Gu Ding's Will Projection.

Sea Emperor had notified Gu Ding the moment Scarlet began fighting Hat Man. It took some time for Gu Ding's Will Projection to arrive, and when he got there, he happened to see Scarlet kill Hat Man and claim the spoils.

Scarlet's base Combat Strength was currently at the Fifth Sequence True God level. His strongest Combat Strength
