Superheroes were always leaping about above the cities, so Wang Xu enjoyed doing the same. It took him only a dozen or so minutes to reach his destination.

If that had been all, there absolutely should not have been so many people getting beaten up. At the very least, Phil, who had been watching the spectacle from behind the whole time, had no reason to be punched as well. Yet after Wang Hu started it, someone shouted in response, and everyone cheerfully began swinging their fists, soon dissolving into a chaotic brawl.

Accompanied all the way by the teacher in charge’s thunderous curses and Ren Tuying’s laughter, they finally arrived at the classroom for new students.

His soul trembled instinctively, as though it had encountered its natural enemy. Before him, everyone had to lower their heads and submit.

Judging by the ice’s appearance, perhaps it had been buried beneath a glacier, then submerged in water and gradually frozen solid.

He ran a hand over the shaft of the spear, and all the information about this brand-new Cape-Horizon Spear immediately entered his mind.

The temperature on Blue-Cold Island was not especially low. It was no different from winter elsewhere in the polar regions. After arriving at the inn, Ren Tuying took a hot bath and changed into the white clothes he usually liked to wear. Looking at his even more handsome reflection in the mirror, he could not help raising the corners of his mouth. He nearly fell in love with himself before finally leaving the guest room.

I also told the stonemason to inspect every construction site back and forth, paying attention to the progress and everyone’s safety. He agreed and went off as well.

A stun baton without electricity was worse than a fire poker. The two zombies did not pause for even an instant before pouncing on Old Yang and knocking him heavily to the ground. One of them sank its teeth into his neck.

Gu Nan’s letter was much simpler. First, he said that he had confirmed Qi Mingzhi’s identity: he was indeed the son of Lord Qi, the Governor of Yangzhou.

A trail of footprints passed in front of Zhao Rong’s door and finally stopped at Zhao Gui’s. Then they vanished without a trace.

Wu Nian still had the bruise Leng Feng had left around his left eye. The two exchanged a smile, understanding one another without words.

Qi Huan frowned and read the letter several times. When he confirmed that the handwriting was identical to that on the two letters Grand Tutor Liu had shown him, he froze.

After all, Rong City was not Xi Zhan’s territory. Even a powerful outsider could not overcome a local serpent, and it was inevitable that he would be trapped after rushing there recklessly.

Han Lin did not hesitate. He leaped directly onto the rooftops and pursued Chen Nianjun and the others.

Baili Chen used to come here frequently to soak in the hot springs, and he had picked up an understanding of such things by being exposed to them. Besides, members of the imperial family needed to understand them as well.

As soon as I sat down, I saw a passerby outside buying cotton candy. I asked Xi Zhan to wait there while I left the restaurant.

“Are you looking for Jiang He?” Xu Chang appeared at the doorway at some point, still holding a cup of coffee, apparently trying to ease her drowsiness.

Ever since returning from the Boundless Abyss and discovering that his Body-Tempering Separation Fire Art had reached the peak of Yellow Rank, Stage One, and was on the verge of a breakthrough, Wu Luoyang had diligently practiced every night without slacking off. Today, he had spent the entire morning indoors mastering the Perception Technique, yet even after most of the day had passed, he still could not break through the bottleneck.

Ye Pianran returned to her mother’s side. After watching her mother fall asleep, she sat beside her and cultivated throughout the night.

After returning to the sect, Yang Xian went to Spirit-Verdure Peak and informed Shen Liyun and Shen Lianyi. He then proceeded to the Hall of Internal Affairs to apply for closed-door cultivation in preparation for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The insects at the front were all cannon fodder, and not particularly intelligent at that. Thus, even when they were sent flying by the impact, they did not attract the attention of the other insectoids.

Although his narration was halting and disjointed, every sentence came from the heart. When he reached the most painful parts, he choked up several times, and tears glimmered at the corners of his eyes.

When the giant turtle exhaled its final breath, something bright began spreading out from its mouth.

The employment situation was poor these days. Finding a new job would take an unknown amount of time, and even if he managed to find one, it would be difficult to secure good benefits.

“That’s fine. I’ll discuss it with Father first. You should browse the Planar Marketplace again and see whether there are any safety measures available. If we can avoid using the zombie virus, it would be best for us to prohibit the use of that sort of thing.”

Wei Xiao was worried as well. If there was a safe method, he too would need to use it.

After graduating from high school, Cheng Jingshen went to the countryside to work as an educated youth. It was said that he had married a village girl there, while Xu Yuan remained single to this day, still unable to forget Cheng Jingshen.

Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty later once again strictly banned private research and manufacture. Anyone caught doing so would be beheaded.

Second, the ordinary Water Clan Iron Cavalry gave off an aura that was fierce, unyielding, and capable of crushing everything before it. This army, although small in number, possessed a grand and weighty presence, as immovable as a mountain.

That was right—he had taken only one glance! For some reason, Uncle Chen and Mo Song’s father both felt this way.

From the eighth to the thirteenth centuries, the two regimes established successively on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau—Nanzhao and Dali—were also regarded as Tai peoples’ regimes.

Of course, even if he knew, he would not rush down to save anyone. After all, he was currently like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river, barely able to protect himself.

Bai Xuan felt not the slightest surprise that this sword could command all the swords beneath heaven. Instead, he thought that it was only natural.

After hearing Xiang Ying’s words, Zhao Xian turned his head and glanced at the fifty-thousand-strong army that had already begun moving slowly. Then he shook his head with resolute determination.

“It is an internal matter!” Long Xing was not arrogant. He clasped his fists and returned the salute, after which the Director of Internal Affairs turned and left.

Liu De knew that although Bai Qi had previously carried out a massacre by burying people alive, from then on the hearts of the people in Northern Province began to turn toward Liu.

Those working in the Inquisition were priests who supported the White Wolf’s policies. Many of them were young goblins who had not yet been corrupted by the desire for power.

Coral like this was rare to begin with, and this particular strand possessed an exceptionally beautiful and pure color, making it rarer still. Everyone seated there stared wide-eyed at its splendid luster.

As soon as Madam Wang made her position clear, everyone turned their attention to Wang Zhentai. Wang Zhentai arranged everything accordingly, and everyone nodded with confidence before splitting up to make preparations. Wang Zhentai accompanied the eldest young master, Li Deren, back to the full-month banquet and calmly continued arranging toasts for the guests as though nothing had happened.

She spent her days washing her face with tears and could barely eat. Whenever no one else was in the room, she would secretly take out the portrait hidden beneath her pillow and look at it.
