Volume One, Chapter 57: Du Fu—Fame Beyond Mere Words

He glanced at Baiguo without leaving a trace, noticing her eyes flicker with unease and guardedness. Realizing that pressing further would yield nothing, he decided not to interrogate her. Extracting information would be simple enough, but he had promised Bai Fuling not to harm anyone close to her... Besides, many things could be uncovered with a casual inquiry.

The energy beams mercilessly struck the surface of the Radiant Angel ship, instantly causing a strange luminescence to ripple across its exterior, forming a blue protective shield. The electromagnetic energy waves could not penetrate this barrier; they shattered on impact, scattering like dazzling blossoms blooming all over the hull.

“So, learning to pilot a mech here should be quite easy, then?” He Ruozhi’s eyes lit up. He had entered the network precisely to master mech piloting.

Yet, thinking of Kratos, who was also a Spartan warrior, He Ruozhi could imagine the sheer ferocity of those brutal fighters.

By now, three of the five warriors were wounded. If they forced their way forward, there was only one inevitable outcome: being devoured by the growing hordes of increasingly powerful beasts.

Li Dong peered carefully through his spyglass at the sea bandit formation charging toward him, still about eight hundred meters away. Next to him, Wang Shouren, for some reason, was simultaneously counting on his fingers while holding a spyglass.

“As for me, I was only dragged here by a friend, just as company,” Lin Sheng chuckled. “Besides, this place isn’t as bleak as outsiders think; at least, that’s not what I’ve encountered.” He poured himself a drink and downed it in one gulp. The wine here was far sweeter than what they’d tasted earlier at the inn.

Joan shot He Ruozhi a scolding glare, then suddenly twisted his shoulder hard, making him jump up in pain.

“Whoosh!” The man on the left loosed the first arrow. It seemed ordinary, but the arrow’s speed was much slower than a typical one.

After two days of rest, Lia Sophie had regained her strength. She followed Lan Xin out of the room into the living area. The principal ignored Lan Xin, focusing intently on Lia Sophie instead.

“Sophia, do you believe in any deity?” At the dinner table, Wang Feng suddenly asked this strange question out of the blue.

After Achilles assumed control of the kingdom, he began constructing a larger, more functional new dock based on the old, decrepit pier.

They hastily arranged the ritual altar amidst some disorder, carefully setting out the Seven Star Diagram drawn by Professor Wang along with incense and candles. The two began preparations to exorcise the singing ghost haunting the room.

The First Division had departed on the morning of the twentieth, heading toward the Hun River. The Fourth Garrison Division, with three guard companies, began digging more trenches and establishing additional defenses along all the roads from Tonghua to the Hun River.

P.S.: Requesting votes. I had many name ideas, but in the end, the original one, while not very imposing, felt genuine, embodying a true martial spirit.

Thessaly never developed long-distance seafaring technology. The kingdom lacked large ocean vessels, making overseas colonization and trade impossible. All wealth and food had to be sourced from domestic land.

Three hundred jet-black pillars radiated immense majesty, spanning four continents and enveloping a vast expanse of land. Then, each pillar burst forth with dazzling light, instantly traversing to the Eastern Victory Continent. The three hundred beams of radiance merged into the pillar of the Great Path beside Mozi.

Lu Yu did not stop Su Tao’s action; instead, he stepped forward and delivered a kick to the person on the ground.

Today, Jin Hai actually spoke such words—how could that ancestor remain unmoved?

Because of the dark forces, wherever the Dragon God went, calamities followed. People despised it, hated it, and labeled it a demon beast. Out of that hatred, countless fabricated accusations arose, such as cannibalism and world destruction.

Yan Wang’s throat went dry; he instantly spat a spray of blood, his body flying back again, leaving a huge crater in the already devastated ground and walls.

At the commentary booth, the three commentators continued their banter, passing the time as the new player prepared to enter. Their conversation drifted into Tian Xiu’s ears—she hadn’t put on her headset yet, and the glass booth couldn’t fully soundproof. A faint smile tugged at her lips.

The golden blueprint was a schematic-type item. Using it to craft equipment would directly produce a PvP-grade golden item. It was a valuable asset, though it held little appeal for Chu Yan and Qian Yi.

His investigation target was clear—he strode directly into the principal’s office and asked whether the police had come to investigate Fu Ying’er between Friday after school and Saturday noon.

On the third night after Chief of Staff Qian was promoted to Colonel and Security Commander, he visited Zhang Tianyi’s home, where Zhang Tianyi received him in the living room.

When a person faces death’s brink, an ethereal sensation arises. The mind seems to detach from the brain, forming an independent consciousness. In that moment, the mind experiences various mysterious visions, feeling unprecedented comfort and freedom.

After breaking through the earth, enduring a reversal of true energy, and encountering Jin Bingyun by chance, who aided him with three needles, he completed the fusion of his vital energy with that of the demonic seed. The demonic energy permeated his meridians, transitioning from apparent death to true death, completing an alternative “demonic tribulation” and “cultivation of the demon.”

All these strategies were crafted by him. If there was anything anyone in this era truly cared about, it was none other than reputation.

In the national server’s live broadcast room, a flood of “666” comments overwhelmed the screen, forcing viewers to activate the bullet screen filter to clearly watch the tense ongoing match.

Thanks to the baby’s powerful kicking movements, three months ago, she had already acquired the 1.5 million years of cultivation passed down by Chiyan.

Looking at the countless scars, one could imagine how many deadly tribulations he had endured.
