Blue sky and white clouds.
A few sea birds perched on the ship's rope as the Mermaid gently bobbed with the waves.
As the captain of the Mermaid and a commander of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom's First Navy, Mei Lin was handling official duties.
She was inspecting an intelligence report in her hand, a thoughtful expression on her face.
This report was about the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.
"Yesterday, Long Fu accepted a Silver Level challenge, opting for a private duel, and directly killed the Silver Level challenger."
"An interesting response..."
There are many ways to duel.
Some duels are open for observation, while others are very private.
"Challengers to Long Fu want to make a name for themselves, but by choosing a private challenge, even if they win, their fame is diminished."
"Long Fu directly killed the challenger, wanting to display vicious ferocity to deter others."
"Of course, he is also protecting his own intelligence, not showing more tactics to the outside."
