With the same smile on his face, Shun Long looked at Liu Mei who was the first one to approach him as she hugged him gently, before he turned his attention towards Xie Xingyi who was staring at him with a blush on her face, as well as Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian who were standing a few meters away from each other as he then asked

''How did everyone's missions go?''

''Brother Shun, no one of us faced any problems. Everyone finished their missions within the first 2 weeks before we visited the Dao Tower in the Holy city.''

Bai Longtian was the first one to answer, as he took out a deep-red colored token from his spatial ring and showed it to Shun Long.

Jiang Chen nodded his head in agreement after hearing Bai Longtian's words, as he and Liu Mei, as well as Xie Xingyi, all took out their own tokens from their spatial rings.

Jiang Chen didn't even glance at the red-colored token in Bai Longtian's hand, but the moment his eyes landed on Liu Mei's and Xie Xingyi's purple tokens, he suddenly froze on the spot.

His own token was indeed a purple token, but he had just entered the purple-rank in the Dao Tower, while it was obvious that both Xingyi's and Liu Mei's tokens were a much deeper purple color than his.

Bai Longtian smiled warmly the moment that he looked at Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi's tokens, before he congratulated them without holding back

''Sister Mei, sister Xingyi, congratulations. It looks like brother Jiang and I are no match for you in terms of our Dao comprehension right now.''

Bai Longtian wasn't being humble when he said this, while even Jiang Chen ended up nodding his head in agreement with a serious look on his face.

It was obvious that although Bai Longtian's token was a deep red color that was only a few steps away from entering the purple rank, while Jiang Chen's token had already entered the purple rank instead, Xie Xingyi's and Liu Mei's tokens were already a much deeper shade of purple compared to theirs.

This was even more so for Liu Mei's token that made even Shun Long's eyes widen in response, as her 'Dao Tower' token was almost identical to his own.

This meant that Liu Mei's comprehension of her Dao of Death had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage already.

As for Xie Xingyi's token, although its purple color wasn't as deep as Liu Mei's Shun Long guessed that she was just a step away from her Dao of Shadows reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Of course, this was only in terms of their Dao comprehension.

It was unknown just yet which one of the 4 of them would be stronger if they fought with each other, since everyone had their own strengths.

Liu Mei's Dao of Death was extremely terrifying, but the same could be said about Xie Xingyi and her Dao of Shadows, as well as her 'Vanishing Shadows unique physique'!

However, although Bai Longtian's and Jiang Chen's dao comprehension seemed to be slightly inferior to the 2 girls at this moment, this didn't necessarily mean that the 2 of them were weaker than Xie Xingyi and Liu Mei, since they both had comprehended more than 1 Dao instead, and Jiang Chen's 'Eternal Darkness physique' as well as Bai Longtian's 'Golden Buddha unique physique' weren't inferior to Xie Xingyi's physique.

If anything, in terms of pure combat ability, their physique was even stronger than Xingyi's, since her Vanishing Shadows unique physique was more suited towards concealment, speed, survivability as well as surprise attacks, while Bai Longtian's and Jiang Chen's physiques were used to fight their opponents head-on....

Of course, it would be dumb for a natural assassin like Xingyi to fight her opponents head-on. 

Killing your opponents with one swift strike was always the best choice for her, making her unique physique the best natural augmentation for her abilities!

Xie Xingyi and Liu Mei both smiled warmly at Bai Longtian and Jiang Chen who didn't conceal their fighting intent in their eyes.

Originally, the 2 of them were only looking at each other as their own rivals, while in their minds Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi were Shun Long's women.

Even if Shun Long had yet to 'seal the deal' with Xingyi, based on the interest that Xingyi had shown so far and the fact that she was good friends with Liu Mei and that Shun Long didn't seem to dislike her, in their eyes, it was only a matter of time before she became his woman.

However, after seeing themselves being left behind in their challenge in the Dao Tower, they both stared at the 2 girls with serious looks filled with fighting intent.

This was even more so after Jiang Chen, Bai Longtian, and even Xie Xingyi all remembered Liu Mei's words before they had split up to complete their faction missions!

'I will see you guys in 1 month. Hehe, let's take a look at the Dao Tower that Long-ge mentioned and see which of us can climb the highest.'

Even Shun Long felt some excitement when he felt the competitive spirit in the air around him, before he smiled and said a moment later

''Let's go to the Beast Tamer hall and rent a flying magic beast to get us to the 'Blue star continent' in the Northern region then.''

Liu Mei and the rest all turned their eyes towards Shun Long with both eager and excited, but also serious looks in their eyes.

This would be the first faction mission that they would be completing together, but it was still a C-rank faction mission nonetheless.

Although every one of them had completed a D-rank mission successfully by themselves, C-rank faction missions were an entirely different matter altogether!

The difficulty between each mission rank was more than a single level, making D-rank and C-rank missions simply incomparable to each other.

This was even more so for a mission at the top of the C-rank, where there was even an early stage Dao King that was possibly involved in this.
