“Why? Am I really not as good as Lena? Tell me, what is wrong with me? I can change, all right?” Du Qiangwei asked Lin Feng, her face pale. Tears shimmered stubbornly in the corners of her eyes.

Yet Tian was utterly unafraid in the face of such a concentrated barrage of attacks. The six-pointed-star Sharingan in his left eye spun wildly.

After returning to her bedroom, Liang Ziyan collapsed directly onto the large bed. She did not even know where Nangong Yan was being held now, so how was she supposed to rescue him?

Although Du Qiangwei appeared calm on the surface, deep within her heart, turbulent waves had long since risen and surged. In particular, the sight of Lin Feng drifting gracefully down from the second floor after using the Sky-Dance Technique had made him seem almost divine, stirring even the heart of someone as cold as her.

This month consisted only of basic training, primarily intended to strengthen their physical fitness, reaction speed, strength, and other overall abilities. They had not yet begun the actual simulation courses.

By now, the Feng family’s stock of Spirit-Repelling Stones was nearly depleted. Moreover, the three stones before them were all high-grade Spirit-Repelling Stones capable of warding off Void-Realm soul-slayers. They were far from ordinary, and it pained him to hand them over so readily.

Only then did Qian Feng realize that he had dug a pit and buried himself in it. No wonder Wang Zichen had been grinning so lasciviously.

“Dr. Yamashita, hello. I’m Bai Ye from Pallet Town!” Bai Ye introduced himself first.

“She did it deliberately. Even Tia You was kept in the dark. This time, I’ll help you. Tia You’s technology is nothing remarkable to the Empire, but it is excellent for you. Still, she is a dangerous person. You may use her, but you must take precautions,” Valena said solemnly.

Liang Ziyan took a closer look. Good heavens! The cold, quiet figure sitting not far away was none other than Nangong Yan, the man she had thought of day and night.

“Ah Yu, make something with meat tomorrow. Yu’er is still growing,” Tang Anqing said as she sat at the bedside holding Baozi, while Tang Baiyu gazed down at Puyu with a faintly lowered head and a “loving” expression.

It seemed that he had no choice but to go to Shangyong. Meng Da and Liu Feng still had more than ten thousand troops stationed there. Ten thousand men might not be enough to cause a great upheaval, but if deployed properly, they could still play a considerable role. At the very least, A Dou was confident that he could rescue Guan Yu and the others.

Shi Zai glanced at the items on Lingxing’s side and smiled. “Lingxing’s team wins this round! The Lingxing team has selected three items!” Upon hearing this, Lingxing and Ni Kun immediately began cheering.

Through this gank in the bottom lane, the deadlock was broken and a slight advantage was gained. Their teammates naturally showered them with praise.

When Nie Xuan entered the cave, Old Black stepped aside to let him pass, then gripped his sword with both hands and firmly blocked the entrance.

“This is the story that was torn from Hai Qinyan’s journal. ‘It’ was the one that told me.” I did not know how long had passed before I finally murmured those words. Within my spiritual consciousness, “it” gradually detached itself from me. The monstrous eye grew increasingly indistinct, and every image faded away one after another. The entire succession of visions had lasted no more than an instant.

The brief silence was broken by Taeyeon’s words. Lingxing and Lee Jung-hyun both turned toward her. Taeyeon was genuinely startled by their sudden attention.

In an instant, Lu Fengqi’s eyes turned icy, his gaze cold and ruthless. He was just about to rise when a glance from An Bochen stopped him.

Fortunately, the people of Korea were reasonably well-mannered. They merely stood to one side talking and taking photographs, without madly rushing forward.

Yu Dayong also woke up at that moment and said softly, “Everyone’s fine! My hand was cut by glass while I was helping with the rescue. I’m blessed with tremendous luck and a very fortunate life.”

The prolonged creak of the door hinges rang out as the inner attendant pushed open the door to the meditation hall where Lin Lingsu was secluded in cultivation. Inside, Lin Lingsu sat cross-legged in a pale-blue Daoist robe, his eyes tightly closed and his hands forming a strange seal as he meditated in a state of centered stillness.

Everyone from the four armies of the Divine General’s Residence had gathered outside War God Pass, staring blankly at the people emerging from it.

After the incident some time ago, Ruifeng Corporation had remained listless and dispirited. Nearly half its departments had gone on extended leave, while some had even resigned collectively. The entire company was shrouded in panic, and everyone felt that the towering structure of Ruifeng had become dangerously unstable.

“What?” Tang Tong had already made ample psychological preparations, yet the news still startled her. She nearly dropped the kettle in her hand.

Although he possessed the human-exclusive ability to stop time, his extreme acceleration still placed an enormous strain on his body.

She remembered how, several days earlier, she had decided to change her strategy and adopt a conciliatory approach toward him. She would also let him know how utterly disheartened she was. She refused to believe that Nangong Fuchen would still want a walking corpse.

He looked as though he was indulging himself recklessly simply because he had someone powerful backing him. But she liked this spoiled, willful side of him.

“What are you rushing for? Your matter is hardly important. We came here today to discuss the cosmic secret realm that will appear after Spire Star is shut down,” the Second Senior Brother said with a frown.

As a corporate drone... keeping up a diligent update schedule may be a little difficult for me, but I have still been writing quite seriously.

Daiyu then recounted how she had come to know Gonggong, how the two demons had rescued her from the Heavenly Court despite violating the laws of Heaven, and how they were later captured and taken back by the Heavenly Court.

But just before he condensed the Martial Extremity Seal, a major disaster occurred. During one of his outings, he suddenly went berserk, fell from his horse, and suffered severed meridians throughout his body and damage to his internal organs. He remained unconscious for many years.

The deadly poison produced by cultivating the Myriad-Poison Sunflower Manual was an extremely sinister and vicious toxin, far more potent than ordinary poisonous flowers and herbs.

At its center stood a wooden figure. It wore a dragon robe, held its hands behind its back, and looked exceedingly dignified.

Although the scroll had been opened by Nanako and was visible to everyone, none of them could see Nanako herself. If she went with them, the scroll would certainly be taken away as well.
