Ah yes, a cast-iron pot—that is absolutely essential. Without it, forget about dumplings, even a simple broth would be impossible to enjoy.

Helise gazed at her frail, uncertain body and looked up to the sky, addressing Mr. Akira Toriyama.

“Heh…” The “Karan man” exhaled sharply once again. In his empty hand, armor creaked and shifted, gradually forming a long spear with double-edged blades. The entire weapon was deep blue, and at the junction between the blades and the shaft, a bright core pulsed rhythmically like a beating heart.

Under Luo Chen’s command, the commanders responded solemnly in unison. From Luo Chen’s piercing gaze, everyone could roughly anticipate the situation.

Most importantly, they had obtained the intelligence: this time, Xiang Island would no longer have Liu Qingshan.

Zhou Chujun, chilled to the bone, returned swiftly amid reports from his brothers. He deduced that the force charging toward him was none other than the elite personal guard of the Later Jin Jiannu— the Yellow Banner troops.

“Lv Hanqiang is truly remarkable; he has considered everything. What worries could this grain merchant possibly have now?” Li Zhiqiu couldn’t help but marvel once again at Lv Hanqiang’s calculative prowess.

Before long, the camera panned to reveal Eveleigh’s flagship, a cruiser painted in shining silver, breaking through the spatial barrier and appearing directly ahead of the fleet.

Tie Zheng did not pause; he dared not slacken even for a moment. The array’s presence would provide them much greater security. Should the city fall, not only ordinary people and low-level cultivators would be slaughtered, but even those at the Breakthrough Realm would become rootless, endlessly hunted by beings from other worlds.

“Even Master can’t handle it; she probably can’t either, right?” the Bull Demon King said doubtfully.

The bearded director was helpless; after all, he was just a director. She was not only the male lead but also his boss.

Steadying his stance, Feng Fan’s mind raced. The words of the five late Nascent Soul peak-level cultivators were no empty threat. This region was indeed sealed by special restrictions; otherwise, those five would not have granted them a single hour.

This was only the beginning. Wansheng Corporation had poured vast funds into research and development. Coupled with cash tied up in various investments, extracting funds quickly was extremely difficult. The enemy had anticipated this step, so someone acted in advance to block the bank from lending to Wansheng.

After speaking, he grabbed a piece and began devouring it ravenously. Old Ya was no less polite, picking up a piece and biting into it as well.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Secretary of State, through mature diplomatic channels, maintained continuous communication with Yao Yi. Yao Yi did not respond until after all the weapons were purchased, finally agreeing to meet the Secretary of State in Geneva, Switzerland.

Qing Yun opened his eyes, leapt down from the high platform, and slowly said, “Don’t panic, turn the rudder to starboard.” Suo Tian immediately obeyed Qing Yun’s command and began steering.

Han Yu looked at Escobar floating on the water’s surface with a faint smile, a strange glint flickering in his eyes.

Soon after, Gongsun Sheng and Gongsun Du arrived at the side chamber, smiling as they sat opposite Xie Xin.

The three hidden professions that had now appeared were all part of Summer Star Sky. Moreover, Tang Cheng’s power was extraordinary. It was foreseeable that even if the Xuan Dynasty family did not join Summer Star Sky, the latter’s growth was only a matter of time.

This time, no illusions appeared before Song Ming. However, after taking a single step forward, he felt an unbearable weight upon his shoulders, as if burdened with a weight of ten thousand pounds, suffocating him.

This phase of the competition had long been controversial. Many believed that since it was a contest among the younger generation, it should be a test of strength. What did survival even matter?

Seeing the jade ring handed before him, Xiao Yan accepted it without hesitation. Had this been yesterday, he surely would not have taken it so easily. But since he was already willing to join the Xiao clan, this monthly stipend naturally belonged to him, so there was no reason to hesitate.

Yet, something was clearly amiss—though no one could say exactly what. One thing was certain: the worst was already unfolding.

Back then, he had always believed that the Spirit Domain was the highest realm. Entering it was like reaching the pinnacle of martial arts, even its ultimate end.

Within the Northern Government troops, after the integration of the Wei family army, two factions vaguely emerged: one led by He Qian, loyal to Xie Xuan’s direct line, and the other by Liu Laozhi, an outsider faction.

With the guidance of a divine miracle, the news that Nameless was entrusted by the gods spread instantly throughout the entire tribe, his prestige and trust multiplying wave after wave.

Last time, only Chu Yan’s divine consciousness touched that threshold; this time, seizing the opportunity, he was determined to break through once and for all.

Just as I expected, I grabbed the tree root and climbed deeper into the woods. Once inside, running became much easier. Turning left and right, I quickly left the man-eating crocodile far behind.

While the many spectators remained immersed in the beautiful singing, the four mentors and five judges had already discerned the instruments behind the exquisite music.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lang remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on the battlefield not far away, where the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King fought.

Just as Yu Tian was about to retract his arm, suddenly a hand grasped his arm and placed it against the person’s own chest. Yu Tian felt a wave of heat and slickness, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.

With a ripping sound, I tore off the sleeve of his Taoist robe. In a few swift motions, the robe was shredded into several strips.

In just a brief moment, Qiu Yuan’s heart struggled intensely, as if he had entered a timeless world where ages passed in an instant.
