Volume 1, Chapter 32: Seeking Materials
Typically, challenges begin with the lower-ranked participants, so Fang Shaoyuan and his three companions were the first to take the stage.
"Hmph, while your sword energy may be sharp, it is merely a blend of lightning arts and sword qi. You didn't even break through Disciple Xiao's defenses, so how could you possibly have caused him such pain?" Yi Taizhen glared, looking ready to brawl at the slightest provocation.
At that moment, Wuqing made her move. With a mere thought, all the incoming crossbow bolts were seized by an invisible force, hanging suspended in mid-air.
He had not expected that completing missions for the Five Thunders Academy could also earn merit points. He secretly resolved to take on more missions during this period, at the very least to familiarize himself with which tasks yielded what rewards, especially those involving merit points.
He particularly suspected that Chen Ji did not truly want to punish Chen Meifen and Zheng Yuya severely; otherwise, he would not have addressed him as "eldest uncle" just now, a clear sign that he intended to let them off the hook.
The yacht was a decommissioned vessel that the Daya Bay Group had purchased for a pittance. Within just five days at the Daya Bay shipyard, it had been restored to a condition nearly indistinguishable from a factory-new model. If put up for sale now, it would easily fetch thirty or forty million, yet the original acquisition cost had been a mere three hundred thousand.
This guy hadn't prepared at all; he simply felt that defeating the Six Horns was too easy and lacked spectacle, so he decided to stir up a sensation. By using his words to provoke the opponent, he hoped to incite the full strength of a team composed primarily of power-based and high-durability fighters.
Shen Liancheng knew that the matter could not be reversed, and thus, from the very beginning, she had never expected the Emperor to rescind his decree. What she hoped for was something else entirely.
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out. Atobe raised his left hand, and his middle finger and thumb, which had been pressed together, snapped apart with such force that the sound drowned out the cheers of hundreds. In an instant, the arena fell into a deathly silence, leaving only the echo lingering in the air.
Fifteen hundred mid-grade spirit stones—never since he had embarked on the path of cultivation had he laid eyes on such a vast quantity of mid-grade spirit stones.
Lu Feiyang couldn't explain the specifics, so he simply expanded the scope to the entire country to hoodwink Yinbai.
The third illusory bag was no better than the others, containing little more than some spirit stones and medicinal pills. Just as Wei Yan was about to give up, a jade slip emitting a faint green glow caught his eye.
"Alright, Victorite, let's go. There is still one more fellow waiting for us to deal with." The God of Radiance, Denate, had already fallen, and the remaining God of Light, Collins—a mere lower-tier primary god—would naturally pose no great trouble.
Furthermore, although Wei Yan’s powerful spiritual sense detected several Core Formation stage cultivators behind him, he had no idea where they were headed or if they were traveling the same path.
"What a clever Agumon, actually knowing to attack the Kuwagamon's wings," Koushiro remarked.
After stepping out of the tent, Wei Yan felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of emptiness, as if he had lost something vital.
"Bring us a few of your restaurant's signature dishes, and a pot of wine," Wang Biao said casually, finding a seat by the window.
Of course, he hadn't told the truth, but that was irrelevant, and Scar-face didn't care anyway. He cast a cold, mocking glance at the Sixth Young Master. Would someone like him really come to a place like this? The people at this table were indeed wealthy or influential, but to someone mixing in the underworld, what did that matter?
Calculating that the time was right, Wei Yan’s eyes flashed. He emerged from deep underground, disguised himself as an old man with a white beard, and headed toward the city where the Jade Human Sect’s headquarters were located.
After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. was established by the World Security Council specifically to deal with various strange and extraordinary events.
The snake head wore a yellow crown and was dressed in a bright red, hollow-patterned gown.
Realizing that this was the reason Lee Hyun-hyuk was feeling so stifled, Kim Min-jeong urged him on.
On the hospital bed, Helen watched their interaction and revealed a beautiful, gentle smile.
Loki fell silent; perhaps only Frigga could make this defiant trickster god quiet down in an instant.
The Mushroom House had reached its sixth season, and the original plan was for the seventh season to be the finale, as the potential of this variety show had been almost entirely exhausted.
This was the first time Xiao Chen had encountered such a situation, and he found it difficult to get used to the sight of a vast horde of magical beasts suddenly bowing in submission to him.
The red envelope looked familiar, but Long Ling didn't think much of it—after all, a similarity in red envelopes wasn't particularly unusual. She thanked the giver, closed the door, and opened the envelope, only to stare at a hot spring voucher that was all too familiar.
Only now did Lee Hyun-hyuk realize how far they had walked without noticing. Because Kim Qiu-tian was on his back, he hadn't been soaked by the rain; it was she who had borne the brunt of the downpour.
"But that is no longer the case. Odin refuses to let you wield this weapon," Duwar interrupted Thor.
"I have seen him. Your eldest brother's strength is arguably the greatest among the younger generation of the Demon Soul Sea, isn't it?" Ye Xingchen remarked.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng lowered his bow. Since his brothers from the river were seeking their own retribution, there was no need for him to intervene personally.
Chu Xiangxiang stepped out from the Five Dragon Pillars to find that Hua Jifang, who had been inside, had already turned to ashes, her life extinguished.
