But by observing their martial arts practices, Yang Yi discovered that while Abbot Xuanci was indeed the strongest, he was only on par with himself, and the others were noticeably inferior.
Stopping beside Chen Bazhen, the car door opened automatically, and a dazzling blue boarding step descended. The high-tech spectacle left Chen Ziling staring in utter astonishment.
As soon as these words were spoken, the dozens of people present wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost, looking at each other in dismay. Even the red-faced big man who had made the suggestion stood with his mouth wide open, his face full of disbelief.

As for the special quest's Golden King Monster, the Flaming Black Eagle King, the moment it respawned, it was swarmed and attacked by dense packs of players.

"Hmm." Yue Ye let out a satisfied smile after drawing May Snow from its scabbard.
Just as the old cop was lamenting that he "used to be able to pee three zhang against the wind, but now a tailwind wets a whole shoe," he discovered that a large patch of his soccer shorts was also soaked, which would be far too embarrassing if anyone saw it. Just then, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ran over to shout for Zhuoyang and the others to wait, leaving the old cop with no choice but to hide behind and wait for them to leave.

Gao Shiman was stunned into silence. Rather than saying she hated this third aunt, it was more accurate to say she detested her.
