Kander had not deceived Chen Xuan; the Ring of the Dragon Emperor could indeed significantly enhance the wearer's strength in a short period of time. However, it was not as exaggerated as Bru had claimed—it could not forcibly boost anyone, regardless of their level, by an entire major realm. While it could elevate a level-five superhuman to level six, Chen Xuan’s baseline strength was already far superior to that. Furthermore, the difficulty of advancing from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core was exponentially greater than that of a level-five superhuman reaching level six. Therefore, the Ring of the Dragon Emperor might not necessarily be able to lift Chen Xuan, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, to the Golden Core, or it might only sustain such an increase for a fleeting moment.
Of course, Kander did not care much about the specifics. His intent was simply to lure the Seven-Nation Task Force and Chen Xuan to the Saint Mountain Peninsula. The rest was left to waiting for Bru to report the outcome of this death match.
After giving his instructions to Bru, Kander walked across the sea and vanished into the horizon. Bru, witnessing this, was not surprised; he knew that a submarine was waiting for Kander in the depths nearby. It would transport him to a desolate stretch of coastline in North America, where "God," the number one on the Dark List, lived in seclusion, hidden away in a place where ordinary people could not tread.
