Chaoyang District, Vestas Company.
Only then did Wang Linhai and the disciple of Hao Yangzong react, hastily unleashing their combat techniques to sever the fifth strike of Huang Feng’s Blood Wave Nine Slashes.
Meanwhile, White Steel grabbed a nearby tree, using it to pivot a full 180 degrees, facing squarely the gargoyles lunging from behind.
About fifteen minutes later, everyone finished breakfast, wiped their mouths, and tidied their appearance.
Unlike the first time when the conscripts were gathered casually, this large-scale transformation process was much more formal, considering factors such as morale, courage, and the necessity to preserve the young and strong population for reproduction. This time, the focus was primarily on warriors over the age of twenty-five who already had offspring.
Mu Ren slammed his palm down on the conference table with a deafening crack. The four present all paled and hurriedly agreed with trembling voices.
However, Irishea truly needed a good wash now. On the way to Stormwind City, she had endured much wind and rain; her clothes were filthy and disheveled. If not for a quick wash at the inn before entering the city, she would have been quite a sight.

Recent incidents in Miaojiang and the Southwest had shown them that Xiao Fei acted decisively and struck hard—a man capable of great deeds. With both temperament and strength, he was more than worthy to be the alliance leader.
“Do you know? These old brown bears were rescued by me years ago during winter from the jaws of a starving wolf. They had cubs and returned here fearing danger while hibernating outside! Yet you pretend to be the hungry wolf yourself!” Su Wu said sternly.
The leader of the Seven Star Sword Sect even said that Xiao Fei, a mere teenager, was unworthy of an invitation from a sect master like himself. Yet this very sect master was so frightened by Shen Le Qianshang that he hid away in a private club.
