Week Twenty-Four: Striving for Success

The ghostly hand expanded, continuing its reach toward Tang Jie. Watching the spectral hand close in, Tang Jie suddenly extended two arms from behind his back, grabbed a Ghost King, and hurled it forward. Taken by surprise, the Ghost King was caught by the ghostly hand instead.

Reflecting on it now, Siyan had not spoken to him directly last night, which was entirely out of character for her.

"I will state this clearly: if Qin Cheng ever appears before us again, it would take a miracle," Elder Jian declared resolutely.

Elder Ge was struck by astonishment, wondering if the Alliance Leader truly possessed the gift of prophecy, or if there was some unspeakable secret hidden within this.

Once the refining process was complete, Qin Cheng waved his hand, and all ten immortal pills of the five varieties floated in mid-air.

Hao Yan had not visited Guo Zhengnan for a long time, nor had he provided any medicinal pills, so upon emerging from seclusion, he headed to the training grounds and sent a voice transmission to Guo Zhengnan.

Under the cover of night, Gu Liangxi was as agile as a cat, deftly avoiding the bodyguards and heading straight for the southeast gate. Looking up at the relatively low wall, she gritted her teeth, climbed up, and leaped onto the top.

They had agreed to come together to see Eighth Master, fearing that he might turn them away individually.

Upon entering the clubhouse, I deliberately kept my distance from Tang Xia, with one of us leading and the other bringing up the rear. The building was undoubtedly infested with evil, though I could not yet tell what kind of spirits we were dealing with.

Because Gu Bei was usually very busy, he would always choose to go to bed as early as possible whenever he could.

Han Dongfei was utterly speechless at this; he had to command everything himself, yet the depletion of resources was so immense that even a major power like the Han family struggled to sustain it.

"Oh, really? Is Xin'er off to warm the bed for your master, Xiao Han?" The fox stared at me with a smiling gaze, gently blowing on his tea before taking a sip.

"Of course, it puts a great deal of pressure on me, because I am so reluctant to part with you, Sister Mei. If you were to suddenly vanish from my world, I truly wouldn't know what to do," Pan Yuhong said to Mei Xuelian, feeling deeply dejected.

"Master," Yin Hun seemed to have reached a decision, suddenly appearing before Qing Hong, his massive, handsome face filling Qing Hong's entire field of vision.

Regardless of what Shenxing Wuji was pondering at this moment, it was certain that this man named Tesla possessed the Violet Thunder Primal Blood. Perhaps this would be the only person he would ever encounter in his life who held such power, and therefore, he would not let this opportunity slip away under any circumstances.

Seeing that sword strike, Pan Long took to its heels. It no longer continued its previous rampage, as there was scarcely an intact building left in the space; the creature's destructive power was formidable indeed.

As for Nangong Jingyue and Beiming Wuxie, she did not yet know enough about these two figures to draw any conclusions.

"That woman in the Changxin Palace is truly useless. What does it matter if she carries the dragon's heir? She still cannot outmaneuver that wench from the Yufu Palace!" Sitting within the Fengyi Palace, Empress Xia could not help but curse.

Bai Mozi led the army away first, followed by the carriages of Tang Tang and Bai Shaozi, with Yue Zanghua and a thousand Imperial Dragon Guards bringing up the rear.

With a distant look in his eyes, Hussein sighed softly and pulled Lorisa up to sit on the railing of the customs pavilion. This place was only occupied during the graduation matches, and the railing was now covered in dust. However, Hussein did not care in the slightest and simply sat down.

The sky had turned dark, and Ran Sui lit the lamp. Neither of us spoke. The room was deathly quiet, and under the amber lamplight, the space felt as hazy as a dream, with Ran Sui's tall, graceful shadow cast upon the floor.
