“I think Pang Hao is quite good. He entered through his athletic ability and runs track and field. He’ll certainly bring honor to the country in the future. His prospects are incredibly bright.”

Su Ningxia curled her lips. “How do you know that?”

“I’ve already joined the student council. I can see everyone’s academic records clearly.” Gu Yaoyao gave two little snorts.

“What are we waiting for?” Alice sat there playing cards with Camille and finally could not resist asking.

This immense flood of information poured frantically into his consciousness, transforming into towering waves that surged and battered his mind.

With every step, another illusion shattered. Yunxiao had no idea how deeply he had descended into the darkness. In any case, the long river that flowed slowly from an unknown source had long since vanished from sight. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but eternal darkness, save for the layer of violet light surrounding Yunxiao. Not the slightest glimmer remained.

Several days later, Russia announced that it would designate the Fantasy Realm as a military observation zone and agreed to join the scientific research institutions concerning the Fantasy Realm led by the United States.

The Cold Serpent Fruit melted in his mouth. It had no pit at all, and its fragrance filled his lips and teeth, as though a clear spring were flowing straight into his heart. It was indescribably refreshing.

“Well, Director Huang, what are you planning with such a grand operation?” Chief Inspector Chen watched the intersection ahead, which was surrounded by police officers, with a mocking smile.

Many people cried out in stunned disbelief. The members of the Spirit Cloud Sect, the others, and even Leng Tianyuan all wore expressions of utter incredulity.

“Then I’ll keep this one as a backup and try on another!” Lin Meiru was brimming with enthusiasm. Even the saleswoman introducing the clothes to her showed a hint of impatience, whereas Xiaotong retained her gentle expression as always, her patience seemingly endless.

But now, this short sword could only carry Yaomei’s body through one spatial leap after another, because that had been Yaomei’s final thought before falling unconscious—and thus the sword’s final command.

I did not dare linger any longer. After chatting idly with Tang Jiu for a few more moments, I rose to take my leave. To my surprise, Tang Jiu personally escorted me outside, clearly reluctant to part. I reminded him once again that he must not tell anyone he had seen me here, lest more gossip arise. Tang Jiu readily agreed and escorted me a long way before finally returning.

Zhu Weichao hated himself to the core, yet he was also extremely arrogant. Even after realizing that the imperial family was laying a trap, he would still adjust his strategy and confront them within the Imperial City, staging a clash before all the noble clans and sects in the nation.

The others were indignant, but they were also puzzled. Was this merely an attempt to humiliate someone? Or was there something more complicated hidden beneath the surface?

“The Hunting Tournament has only just begun, and most people are on guard.” Jiang Yi rubbed his chin. He had thought he could lure a few people over, but every one of them was more cautious than the last.

It was precisely because I had ascended into the sky that I realized this was not reality, but a dream. And just after I became aware of that, I slowly opened my eyes.

Later, she noticed that the ring looked rather old and felt that it must have a story behind it. Although she had never asked Wen Chengyu, she instinctively knew it was precious. Besides, Aunt Rui had given the two of them a matching pair of rings, so she naturally put this one away. She had never expected that the man would turn it into such a distinctive necklace.

She had advanced to the fifth rank of Great Spirit Master in a single month, but had not yet consolidated her strength, so she could not break through again in the short term.

As he spoke, his gaze did not rest on Zhuang Xun’s eyes. Instead, it slowly examined Zhuang Xun from head to toe.

“What is a member of the Jing River Dragon Clan doing here?” the man said as he stared at Zhuang Xun from a distance. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau could enter this place without restraint, since it was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Preceptor. The Jing River Dragon Clan, however, was different. Although it was a force loyal to the emperor, it had no authority to interfere in the affairs of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

Xingyue could be certain that the Death God Thirteen standing before her was not the one from the mechanical prison just now. Yes, she had never seen this Death God Thirteen before.

A human tide surged through the streets. Given the scale of Hannover City, it ought to have had at least a million inhabitants. In later generations, it would have counted as a third-tier city. In such a backward place, a city of a million people was a true metropolis. Its prosperity, in particular, was no less impressive than anything shown in the movies.

Gui Bao immediately smiled, though his expression was sarcastic. Privately, he thought that it was no wonder this man with his enormous mouth and thick lips spoke so arrogantly. The moment he opened his mouth, he trampled independent cultivators beneath his feet. So he was from the Independent Cultivators’ Alliance—that explained why he acted so superior toward them. It was truly infuriating.

Unless—unless it had been what he wanted from the very beginning, and he had paid a tremendous price for it. Only those who had truly sacrificed for something would truly care about it and truly value it.

Fire Banyan, Zhen Yuanzi, Fuxi, and the others had all been mighty practitioners in the Violet Cloud Palace in ancient times. That was why they were regarded as belonging to the orthodox lineage of the Daoist tradition.

Of course, that was merely the ideal situation. In reality, since they were all pioneers, as long as the difference in strength was not too great, killing someone in a short period remained impossible. After all, those assigned to the same world could not be too far apart in ability.

The truth was that he had simply been unbearably bored at home. So when this fellow called Leng Ying, he immediately agreed. He secretly packed his suitcase and ran away.

By the time the two of them finished eating and went upstairs, they discovered that the Underworld King had smashed every object he could reach into pieces. Many had even been crushed into powder, leaving not so much as a “corpse.”

As they spoke, they had already reached the kitchen. Ming Chen gave the kitchen a quick survey. Aside from a refrigerator and some cooking utensils, there was nothing else of note.

The remaining people felt a chill run through their entire bodies. The burly man’s entire arm was a mangled mass of flesh and blood, with bits of meat visible inside. What puzzled them was that they could not see any bones in the arm. Could it be that his arm had no bones? They wondered silently.

But he knew that he needed to maintain control. He did not feel disgusted; he only felt his anger burning fiercely.

As the wineglasses collided, Fang Yu suddenly sensed a powerful force coming from the other end of the glass. His heart stirred. So this man was a martial artist after all.

He stared at Belial with his deep blue eyes, which gradually closed. Belial, who was himself the supreme commander of the Luwinia people, promptly fainted as well.

“An elemental creature.” A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Chu Yun.

“Haha, I knew Professor Shen was a reasonable man. This matter does indeed deserve careful consideration. I’ll await your good news.” After the burly man laughed several times, he suddenly vanished into thin air, as though he had never been there at all.
