When Ao Ming heard Xu Hao's words, he was instantly speechless and said, "I considered you a friend, yet you want my turtle shell. You're absolutely shameless!"

Xu Hao laughed and said, "It's not the current you that I want. Your strength is too low now. Even if I have your turtle shell, I don't want it. Wait until your strength improves, and then give me a little piece of your turtle shell. I'll make a shield for Xiao Yao and the others. How's that?"

Ao Ming immediately retracted all his limbs into his turtle shell, trembling all over, and said, "You... just giving you a little isn't enough? You actually think of giving each of them one. Are you trying to make me walk around naked?"

Xu Hao laughed, "What are you thinking? How could I be that kind of person? Besides, you're so big. Just a little piece is enough. At worst, I'll feed you some highly nutritious stuff, and you'll grow it back."

"Hmph! Considering the contract I signed with you, I'll reluctantly agree. But don't get any ideas about other parts of me, especially my meat. It's impossible for you to want to eat my flesh!" Ao Ming said, trembling all over.

"Who likes eating turtle meat anyway? People drink turtle soup." Xu Hao laughed.

"You actually want to cook me and drink the soup? That won't do at all!" Ao Ming became even more frightened, not knowing if following Xu Hao was the right choice.

Xu Hao chuckled and stopped teasing Ao Ming, focusing on his cultivation instead.

Ao Ming was somewhat right. It was indeed an excellent time for cultivation, a chance Xu Hao had to seize.

With the pressure building up, Xu Hao felt his body becoming more resilient, as if the bonds between his cells were closer, and inside he felt the painful joy.

His body was continuously being damaged and reformed. Although it was just slightly, he was constantly being reborn, and each rebirth strengthened Xu Hao's body. Over time, his body was becoming more powerful.

Outside.

Lü Zaixian snorted coldly and said, "Send another one!"

Immediately, a middle stage Grandmaster level expert went over.

Now, the only ones from the Lü family not on the field were him and Lü Yuanbin.

After this middle stage Grandmaster Level Expert joined, the pressure Xu Hao felt instantly doubled. His face turned extremely red, as if he were suffering enormous pain.

Each tear and regeneration of his muscles came with tremendous pain, which, though seemingly mild, was real and intense. If Xu Hao were an ordinary person, he couldn't have withstood it.

But even though Xu Hao was extraordinary, he was still enduring immense pain, his body drenched in sweat.

Ao Ming said, "Even though I could help you resist the pressure, it wouldn't benefit your cultivation. So, you must rely on yourself. Only when you truly can't bear it will I intervene to save you. This pressure isn't an issue for me; I can break through this great array purely with physical strength."

Xu Hao nodded slightly. Ao Ming indeed had this strength.

But he knew it was best to rely on his ability to walk out, not external aid. Otherwise, it would be difficult to break through his physical limits in a short time.

Lü Zaixian shouted, "Xu Hao? Are you dead? If you're not dead, why no noise? Weren't you quite formidable? Say something!"

Zhao Yanhong was also watching the formation with a worried expression.

Xu Hao hadn't spoken for three minutes. She was afraid Xu Hao might suddenly perish.

At this moment, although she was mostly concerned about her future, she was genuinely worried about Xu Hao.

This was unimaginable for her before, and even now she didn't realize it.

Liu Tianxiong was even more worried. In his heart, his life was nothing compared to Xu Hao's. He could die, but Xu Hao absolutely couldn't!

Xu Hao's voice came weakly from inside, "Don't worry, I can't die before completely destroying your Lü family."

"Hmph, so arrogant! We've only sent five people over, and you're already this frail. If Yuanbin and I intervene, you'd be crushed to death by the great array's pressure!" Lü Zaixian laughed.

"If you're not afraid of the great array collapsing suddenly, feel free to take action, but do you dare? Your Lü family still needs this great array to protect your family of mice." Xu Hao said calmly.

"Hmph! Xu Hao, don't be arrogant. I'll tell you, you will definitely die! Yuanbin, get ready, put pressure gradually, and attack with full force when the time is right!"

Lü Yuanbin nodded, then placed his hands on one of the formation eyes of the formation.

He said in Xu Hao's direction, "Xu Hao, we know you're strong, know you have deep connections, and we even know where your Fengyi Sword comes from!"
