Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1113 - 201:

Li Zhiyuan understood from early on that the teachers here had partial rights to adjust certain rules, such as easily being able to open the jade barrier, while Li Zhiyuan himself had no way to do so.

This couldn't be learned, as it was a privilege obtained by the three of them lurking here for years, climbing step by step to higher niches.

Although the tower gate had been pushed open by Yu Miaomiao to the extent passable by people, the door was not yet fully opened, meaning it was not yet time to enter the tower.

Irrelevant individuals forcing entry would immediately face repulsion from the high tower.

However, when Xu Zhenrong was about to complete initiating the rules and step into the tower, Yu Miaomiao turned back.

"Meow~"

Xu Zhenrong sensed a terrifying killing intent from behind and immediately dodged to the side.

"Clatter!"

Xu Zhenrong's back was scratched by the cat's claw causing her to spin continuously in the air, falling to the ground in a rather embarrassing manner. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

She was very surprised, and for a moment, couldn't understand why Yu Miaomiao became so strong.

Yu Miaomiao had no intention of explaining to her, but instead, after a successful strike, charged at Xu Zhenrong again.

Zhen Sha'an saw this and quickly approached to attempt entering the tower gate.

But this time, he was cautious and kept observing behind him.

Indeed, Yu Miaomiao, who originally chased Xu Zhenrong, turned back in the same manner to attack his back again.

Zhen Sha'an dodged in time and was not injured.

Yu Miaomiao stood back at the tower gate, licking her hand while grooming the dense fur on her wrist.

In mythical stories, there is always a terrifying beast guarding treasures.

Now, she was a living tower-guarding demon beast.

The two wanted to leave this layer to move up to the higher tower gate, but Yu Miaomiao was faster than them and blocked their way again when she saw them trying to do so.

Xu Zhenrong and Zhen Sha'an didn't continue to force through and instead stood close together in tacit understanding.

Zhen Sha'an: "The body she occupies now was powerful in life and extraordinary in death. Such remains are very difficult to handle once a change occurs."

Xu Zhenrong: "The heart of that yellow ape was its 'inner core'; she ate that heart, in effect swallowing its 'inner core'."

Zhen Sha'an: "Yu Cangsheng's soul was likely stored in that heart as well and was eaten by her."

In a brief and rapid exchange, the two quickly analyzed the reason for Yu Miaomiao's sudden rise in power.

The yellow ape's heart was a significant physical boost, and Yu Cangsheng's soul was a major spiritual boost. Normally, consuming them in such a brutal manner would mean preparing for body collapse and loss of consciousness.

But the quality of Yu Miaomiao's body was so high that there was no issue of failing to absorb the supplements; as for the effects of losing consciousness, it had occurred, showing signs of ancestral regression in her actions, but since she didn't have much brains to begin with, even if it lowered again it was not too noticeable.

Zhen Sha'an started setting up the Array seriously, Xu Zhenrong moved her hands, condensing the mask figure again, this time larger and more solid.

The two began launching an offense at Yu Miaomiao, who was blocking the tower door, in their own ways.

Yu Miaomiao did not evade, repeatedly breaking the Array and tearing apart the mask puppets.

She wasn't aiming for killing now, just blocking their way, making them anxious as they couldn't enter though they can see it, like a hunter toying with its prey, indulging in her own amusement.

Below, Li Zhiyuan was also having his fun.

He had learned the Nuo Puppetry Technique, but if he could gain more teaching application from Xu Zhenrong, he would save a significant amount of time, energy, and error costs.

Zhen Sha'an's application of the Array was often full of clever tricks and innovative ideas, greatly benefiting Li Zhiyuan, supplementing his lessons on the Stone Gate of Array.

The death of Yu Cangsheng was a minimal loss; the Yu Family's techniques were too focused on bloodline and companion demon beasts. Without Yu family lineage or demon beasts around him, learning it wasn't worth it.

Can't take the effort to learn and then go back to train home Xiao Hei?

Xu Zhenrong spread her hands, emitting ribbon-like light to capture the overly agile Yu Miaomiao, who unceremoniously slapped it down with her claw, scattering the ribbons into crystals, which immediately reassembled to continue capturing.

"Meow~"

The fur on Yu Miaomiao's body stood up, the ribbons scattered again, but this time the scattered crystals were absorbed directly by the fur, unable to reassemble.

Xu Zhenrong's body trembled, her injury worsening as a result.

Li Zhiyuan's gaze tightened, as the move Xu Yijin seemed to have also used, only Xu Yijin had blood porcelain, which could transform it into ceramic gloss.

Moreover, Xu Yijin was also proficient in Puppetry Technique, both having the surname Xu, Li Zhiyuan suspected they were likely related.

As for Zhen Sha'an's array usage, while innovative, the core of the Array was very orthodox, pursuing the ancient charm and emphasizing the mutual sensing of heaven and man.

In the final moments of the broken jade struggle, a large group tried to jointly break through the Array he set, one group caught his attention with their remarkable array skills, displaying an antiquity style, and even congratulated him before leaving at the deadline.

Thus, Yu Cangsheng, Xu Zhenrong, Zhen Sha'an, the three hidden in the secret realm, all had chances to wait for their successors to come in.
