At this moment, Huang Yi sat astride Little Dragon's back, gazing down at the corpse of the Level 175 Warrior Guardian below, feeling somewhat reflective.
This Guardian's strength was on par with that of the Sand Thief King. Now, Huang Yi had personally slain such a formidable individual, which made him doubt the reality of the situation.
"Little Dragon, I'm grateful you lived up to my expectations and advanced to the Growth Phase, otherwise I would have had to resort to my backup plan," Huang Yi murmured, stroking Little Dragon's head with a touch of sentiment.
Little Dragon needed a fierce battle to break through, and Huang Yi had previously thought of putting him through such a grueling fight to reach the Growth Phase. The recent Warrior Guardian provided a perfect opportunity, so Huang Yi kept his backup plan in reserve, opting instead to stand firm with Little Dragon.
