In the fourth round, Liu Yefei’s opponent was a recluse of the martial world who had hidden himself in the mountains and devoted decades to the study of the sword. He possessed profound insights into the way of the sword, and Liu Yefei gained tremendously from their exchange. In the end, relying on the exquisite swordsmanship of the Nine Bends of the Celestial River, Liu Yefei managed to win by half a move.
Yet at that moment, what the Elder of the Ji Sect offered Mingxi was an already raised smile—one filled with utter treachery and eerie cunning.
Di Moyun had no intention of coming out, but she still put on an expression of panic and cried, “Help!” In truth, she was secretly exerting all her strength, trying to make the carriage tip toward the cliff.
When he finished speaking, he drew his sword with a sharp rasp. Seeing their squadron commander about to act personally, the Zumas nearby hurriedly unsheathed their swords and raised their spears, surging out from behind Doug.
After a series of transformative changes, the rainbow halo regained its strength and shone once more. Its mighty radiance dispelled part of the divine power of the heavenly thunder. Yin Junfeng finally felt a clarity and ease unlike anything he had ever experienced.
That said, this academy was not only fully boarding; it also charged no tuition at all. There was even a monthly subsidy of one hundred thousand. Under such generous conditions, it hardly seemed difficult to understand why the academy possessed such a luxurious dining hall.
The riverbank was pitch-black in the dead of night. Although the road along the embankment could be reached by walking up the sloping lawn, and there were streetlamps along the road, perhaps because of the difference in elevation, not a trace of light reached the riverbank. Only the moonlight provided illumination.
Iron Xiangxue thought it over and found the explanation reasonable, so she let the matter go. She smiled sweetly, her beautiful smile radiant as a flower.
At least things had quieted down. His mother’s family ignored him, while his wife’s family despised him; his life was even worse than theirs.
To be honest, Ye Qiuxuan cared quite a bit about this subject as well. However, the time and place were inappropriate for discussing it, so he had no choice but to interrupt them.
Taking advantage of the brief interval after the great upheaval, when all sorts of established rules had been shattered, Aso gathered a large labor force. While providing them with food, wages, and shelter according to the work they performed, he also put them to work rescuing the wounded, clearing the rubble, repairing houses, and restoring the city walls.
“You did that just now, didn’t you? Believe me, I’ll expose you!” Soft tactics having failed, Yaya went straight on the offensive.

Compared with the other members of the Yu family, Yu Qian, being an Immortal among Men, naturally possessed a far broader outlook. Once he realized that it had all been a misunderstanding, everything that had happened before could be explained and understood.
Ilyad did not hurry to take the scroll. First, he looked up at the penguin butler, then swept the others with the corner of his eye, realizing that something seemed to have happened without his knowledge.
The blue dragon obtained Obie’s scales and, through the crystal ball, reached a shocking conclusion: Nefarian had not been up to anything good. He had been cruelly using various dragon eggs to create Chromatic Dragons.
“Okay.” Jing Qi did not blame them for refusing to believe him. If he had not possessed spiritual awareness, he probably would not have believed it either. Nevertheless, to be safe, Jing Qi had already directed a thread of true wood spiritual energy into his arm. It traveled along a specific meridian, condensing into a wisp of Withered Wood Finger Force that gathered at his fingertip, ready to strike.
Seeing that her son was so exhausted that he had closed his eyes, the Princess Consort’s maternal heart softened. She told him to sleep, tucked the blanket around him, and then left to make trouble for Jiang Mingting.
Princess Huanji came for seven days in a row, enjoying herself without the slightest fatigue. She visited every pleasure boat and gambling den, and everyone who saw her addressed her as Master Li. Handsome and wealthy, she even attracted entertainers who wished to leave with her.
These few sheets of paper represented everything she now possessed: the contracts with the Tian family and the Tian Laibao household, the deed to this house, and the indenture contracts of several servants.
The sword cultivators nearby tacitly opened a path, allowing the group to charge forward.
Of course, this was still far inferior to the Golden-Backed Giant Ape. The Golden-Backed Giant Ape had now begun cultivating the exclusive technique of its lineage, so it was clear that its cultivation and combat strength would continue to rise in the future.
If the land stretching a thousand leagues beneath his feet had been a gathering place for the savage demon clans, he certainly would not have fought so desperately.
Before forming the Core, a cultivator would visualize in their mind an image most perfectly aligned with their nature and will. This was called the Elixir Chamber. Only after that could they form the Core.
On the second floor, Li Ke toyed with a luminous wine cup, gazing at the wine within it. He paid no attention whatsoever to Chai Zhewei’s words.

But this was enough. What Lu Li wanted was the foundational theory, because he intended to create something of his own—and that would be what suited him best.
The orthodox path of cultivation in this world was the cultivation of the Great Way to Heaven. Broadly speaking, it consisted of six stages: Dao Foundation, Dao Seed, Dao Embryo, Dao Form, Refinement of the Dao, and Union with the Dao. These corresponded respectively to the realms of Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Origin, Void Refinement, and Body Integration.
His thoughts came to a halt. Xie Yuchun concealed the killing intent in his eyes. Those behind the scenes had best pray that he would die.
After making contact with the capital, the goods were sent south one batch after another. Upon reaching a certain place, they were loaded onto boats and carried away.
At first, everyone had been rather worried. After all, Li Mingyang’s acting ability was plain for all to see—he truly had wasted such a handsome face.
Ruthlessly, he stomped down. “Caught off guard,” Lu Yu drew in a sharp breath, leaped up exaggeratedly, and hugged his foot, rubbing it frantically. Although Mu Rongyan knew that he was deliberately teasing her, she still burst out laughing. Her eyes curved, as if a hundred flowers had bloomed.
The force that linked the three great empires together was the Temple of Light. In the face of invasions by foreign races, the Temple of Light was also the leader of humanity, bearing the responsibility of uniting its strength and driving back the outsiders.
“I’m saving you. One glance is enough to make you care so much—when you go to war, are you planning to stop everyone from looking at you? What kind of war are you going to fight? Go back and play video games instead.” Wang Hao laughed.
As for Li Kezhou’s disheveled appearance, there was no need to mention it. His entire body was drenched in blood, great stretches of white bone exposed to the air, and nine of his ten meridians had been severed. Moreover, if there had been anyone capable of illuminating the soul, they would certainly have seen that his soul looked as though it had been brutally ravaged.
“Before Hongzhan appeared last time, a former shareholder came holding a register of shareholders, trying to seize the company’s shares. They resolved it with ease. Director Lai, that was your people cooperating with those from Hualian, wasn’t it?” the Director of the Bureau of Economic and Trade said coolly. He had naturally seen through Director Lai’s intentions as well.
