Central Court.
Inside a small Stone Hall.
Cheng Han and Deputy Commander Lan Jiayao met the General Commander of the Eastern Li War Zone, Sword Wanli.
This Intermediate Mystic Supervisor had a square face, with a faint air of gloom between his brows.
It was plain to see.
Recently, the General Commander had borne the safety of tens of millions throughout the war zone on his shoulders, enduring considerable pressure.
Sword Wanli said slowly, "When I first learned that the Warhawks had been created single-handedly by an initial-stage Mystic Adept, I did not think highly of it."
Cheng Han remained calm and waited for what came next.

The latter surprise undoubtedly referred to Cheng Han personally arranging everything and helping the war zone eliminate a Mystic Master-level giant Sea Spider.
This was also the most powerful Sea Monster the Eastern Li War Zone had killed since its establishment.
