Chapter 35
How much of what is truly precious have I sacrificed for fame? Is it worth it? Sister Na wept, reflecting on her life.
Being knocked out in less than 30 seconds is, for any fighter, an immense humiliation.
Yoru pulled her hand over and pushed her index finger back down. "Mitsuhiko is just too thin, which makes him look tall; otherwise, he's not necessarily taller than me. And Genta doesn't count either." As he spoke, he pressed her thumb down as well.
Zhu Youjian was extremely anxious at this moment, subconsciously using soft words, his tone almost bordering on begging Li Daiwen.
With another thunderous roar, the skeleton giant’s other arm punched through the surface. Its thick, bony frame swept across the ground, kicking up a massive cloud of dust, before the arm slammed into the earth, bracing its heavy torso as it pulled itself up through the soil.
That night, in her dreams, Hatsune returned to that field of flowers and saw the helpless smile on Kagura’s face just before she dissipated.
He chose a different path: to build a powerful team, absorb and promote applicable alien technology, and change the world with a gentle approach. This time, he had the other departments coordinate with the long-mysterious R&D project team precisely with that intention in mind.
Tina handed the banner to Chloe, then walked over to Yi Yi, who was standing at the edge. "Yi Yi," she called out.
Zhu Gui nodded, arranged for everyone to be seated, and beckoned for a server to bring a table full of steaming meat buns.
Yoru imagined what it would be like if he went to find Uncle Mouri and told him he wanted to buy a large quantity of cakes.
"What!" the Great Vehicle King and the Moon Guard King cried out in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
"It’s nothing," Gu Ruomei replied coolly. "We’re done talking, let’s go." With that, she turned and walked in the opposite direction from Gu Xinan and the others, not forgetting to look back as she walked to ensure the two of them had left safely.
"What? You mean you want to set up markets throughout Li County?" Li Sheng asked with a strange expression.
Shen Liancheng’s heart remained in his throat until he saw Chen Xiang and confirmed with his own eyes that he was unharmed; only then did he slowly calm down.
He had caused his fair share of trouble, but this was the first time someone from Linshui Village had come knocking on his door. He knew he had violated a taboo of the village.
"I’m about the same! My mana is nearly depleted as well!" The Venerable Qitian at his side looked equally grim, forced to bite his lip to keep going.
"What did you say? You want me to attack the Demon Clan’s lair? Isn't that just a suicide mission?" Tang Long exclaimed exaggeratedly upon hearing this.
The battle began to turn against the Ming army. Although they had many cavalrymen, once the two sides engaged in close-quarters combat, the sharp scimitars of their opponents sheared through the shafts of the Ming soldiers’ spears, causing heavy casualties.
"That goes without saying; this is the capital, after all! The capital cannot be compared to other places. Even though it’s deep into the night, it’s still very lively—you could say it’s currently prime time," Tie Xiangxue said, looking out the window with a smile.
Li Lingyi finally understood. At first, he thought this world lacked a "World Consciousness" and that he could act as he pleased. But now it seemed the World Consciousness did exist, and it had warned him through such a subtle sensation not to mess with Sansa.
Yue Yun had only met Niu Gao yesterday and knew he was a ferocious general whose martial arts and ability to lead troops were not inferior to his own. However, hearing that Wang Shen regarded this man so highly and intended to let him lead an army independently, he felt deeply dissatisfied.
Tianming nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I like it very much." With this new name, he would not forget Yue’er.
By the generation of the Avengers, Thor still held affection for Loki, hoping he would turn back from his wayward path. But Loki was solely obsessed with ruling Earth; he no longer had any feelings for Thor and even used Thor's affection to launch a sneak attack.
Therefore, many criminals who fled into the Closed Nations remained at large. Only by incorporating the entire Star Glory World into a unified World Government for centralized regulation could lasting peace be achieved.
The souls of the Sages are entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, and thus they are immortal. However, Ancestor Hongjun merged his own body with the Dao, becoming one with the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao can be Hongjun, but Hongjun is not the Heavenly Dao. It is evident that the realm of Ancestor Hongjun is far above that of the various Sages; he is truly worthy of being a Chaos Demon God.
At this moment, the city gate was locked in a stalemate. The first Lannister soldiers who rushed in were all doused with boiling pitch, either dead or wounded, blocking the entrance so that the soldiers behind could not get in.
What people refer to as low-grade talent is, for most, merely these pseudo-spirit seeds. This is why low-grade talent is looked down upon; they are destined to have no future.
The amount of information obtained from such a vast distance was naturally immense. Fortunately, Li Lingyi’s mind was relatively sharp; otherwise, he might have gone mad from hearing so much information.
Gui Bao heard the thick-lipped cultivator’s cold remarks, but although he felt no anger, he was deeply helpless. He returned the bow to the young cultivator as a matter of etiquette.
"Sir, it seems Zhou Yuanzhi is about to meet his downfall. Should we take over the industries under his control?" Du Xiaochuan asked after a moment of thought.
Before Yan Shuangfei and Li Er could speak, the others had already drawn their weapons and charged toward the magical beasts and the three weakened figures ahead.
"You scoundrel, truly arrogant. Now, let me show you what a real body-tempering technique is," Chen Feng said dismissively, his figure shooting forward like an arrow to attack the leaping pig-shaped puppet.
