Hearing this, Ye Luochen nodded.
"As long as he came, it's a good thing."
Xuanzi's arrival undoubtedly made Wang Yan's escape much more difficult.
After all, he was a level ninety-eight Super Douluo. Forget the entirety of Star Luo City—at the very least, everything within several kilometers was absolutely within his perception.

The other academies with Titled Douluo overseeing them were more or less the same.
