Volume 1, Chapter 44: Bizarre Training Methods and Universal Skepticism

However, deep down he had a vague sense that Tong Lele probably could not think of any better solution and was forced to choose this approach.

Xiong Xiong tapped the keyboard to switch the computer display, and portraits of five figures appeared on the screen. They were key members of the Hydra Alliance, the formidable rivals of the Sin Alliance where Xiong Xiong belonged.

The World Will must treat all life within its world with absolute equality; Wang Ziran naturally understood this principle and had even taught it to Ionia, the World Will of another realm.

At this very moment, Liu Yunwei found himself riding a tiger and unable to dismount easily. Compelled by circumstances, he ordered some grain to be spared for emergency relief, but for thousands of starving refugees, this small amount of grain was merely a drop in the bucket and of no real help.

Yet no delivery servant entered. Instead, a steamed-bun-like chubby face popped out from the crack of the door, wearing a cheeky and obnoxious expression.

Following over a year of frantic alchemy practice, Chengtian's cultivation had not stagnated either. Possessing the Soul-Absorbing True Scripture, even without deliberate cultivation, his realm would improve imperceptibly. Although the rate of progress was extremely slow, after more than a year, Chengtian was now merely a step away from the ninth-layer peak of the Qi Gathering stage.

His fingers dug deeply into her shoulders, carrying a trace of pain. Yet her expression remained entirely unchanged as she merely gazed at him with full-blown sarcasm. She had her persistence, and he had his. Each of them stubbornly guarded their own beliefs without ever trying to accommodate the other.

After learning about her situation, that scoundrel immediately had someone approach her, offering to pay for her mother's medical treatment at the cost, naturally, of her body.

He basically guessed what Jian Mingyin meant, but since she was deliberately teasing him like this, he was left with no way to clear his name.

Lu Chen had once mentioned in the Lin Manor that the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth is divided into five types: Violet Gold, Azure Wood, Mystic Water, Crimson Fire, and Amber Earth, which correspond to the five spiritual veins of humans. The frosty spiritual Qi of the Fifth Night clearly did not belong to these five elemental types. Could there be other spiritual Qi besides these five? Li Shan was somewhat puzzled, but there was no one he could ask.

Yet after finishing the tour, probably unable to think of any praise, Qing Qiu simply offered the polite evaluation that "the layout is quite nice."

"Because at night, all sorts of shady characters come out, along with drunkards looking for trouble," Zhou Ning said calmly.

The sudden fall of Qian Boran caught everyone completely off guard. Qian Shuhang's expression changed drastically in an instant, and for a moment, even his offensive momentum slowed by thirty percent.

Jiang Luo took a seat opposite Li Zhenzhen first, while Song Yuan was led into another office.

After all, this was a treasure left behind by Guangchengzi. Even if the Guangchengzi of this realm was not the legendary Daluo Jinxian, as long as it was connected to the name Guangchengzi, one could easily discern the extraordinary power of the *Longevity Secrets*.

Bai Jing really left after saying goodbye. She had foolishly waited for him under the streetlight for five minutes before realizing that this guy was actually serious.

He even intended to wander around this world for a bit, to witness various grandmasters so that his own mind might reach the realm of a grandmaster and create numerous Daoist spells and divine abilities.

The crowd chattered back and forth, all expressing intense dissatisfaction with Gu Qingcheng, while Gu Qingxue even dragged Chu Yang and Xue Haiying into the matter.

Regardless of whether it was the suspension bridge effect or not, at least during their last encounter, Jiang Luo could tell that Xu Qing did not dislike him.

This palace, which looked terrifyingly spacious from the outside, actually did not have much interior space to speak of, at least as far as living quarters were concerned.

Of course, for the sake of family reunion, Yue Qingcheng and the others transferred to the Bright Academy and its affiliated intermediate and junior academies.

Long Qi touched it with his hand, only to be bounced back, his body slamming flat onto the floor of the first level. Fortunately, he had been working out these past few days; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to endure it. "What the... hell!" Long Qi cursed out loud.

In truth, an alchemist who could condense and fuse with pill intent would never be mediocre, and possessing divine fire was not all that strange.

Furthermore, Yuan Jinshu was somewhat resentful toward the Emperor. On such a pleasant southern tour, not only did he bring along so many princes, but he also refused to travel in disguise. With them in the open and the enemies in the dark, defense was virtually impossible.

Ysi's expression was also grim. They were currently suffering from an attack resembling a tsunami summoned by the wooden forest, which was on par with Ma Shishan's illusions. However, water engenders wood, and Zijin's tsunami was even more formidable than Ma Shishan's illusion.

When Guo Chengyi slowly regained consciousness, he happened to see a ray of sunlight streaming through the gap in the door, illuminating the room he was in. He rubbed his still-aching head, steadied his mind, and began to inspect his surroundings.

"This grandson understands!" Although Tang Hongxian replied with a submissive demeanor on the surface after hearing Tang Qianqiu's words, his inner arrogance had not diminished in the slightest.

"Truly bizarre; a few rotten stones can actually be this powerful." Wulihan rubbed his face and said resentfully.

The majestic will within the distorted space seemed to sense something leaving Night Monarch and focused instantly on Chensheng. In a split second, a terrifying pressure descended, as if the entire world were bearing down upon him.

"Done, and even got paid extra? Who helped me? Could Sister Li have found out about this and helped me out?" she wondered.

To heighten the suspicion against her stepmother, Huang Wanglan slipped knockout drops into Master Huang's tea that evening. This would create the illusion that the stepmother had slipped out late at night and deliberately rendered him unconscious out of fear of being discovered by Master Huang.
