Volume One, Chapter 25: Technological Innovation, Campus Upgrades

Han Ningxin dispersed the Heavenly Wall of Divine Light, a faint, inscrutable smile playing on her lips. As expected, the captains of the super-teams were not to be trifled with; not only were they powerful, but their wits were equally sharp. Her senior brother’s devious plan to wipe out the entire team had only half-succeeded—a true pity.

Lin Qingxuan finally succeeded in building his foundation, and his heart overflowed with joy. Suddenly, he caught a strange odor, and looking down, he realized his body was covered in filth. He quickly scrambled out of the cave and dove into a pool, scrubbing himself clean from head to toe.

Gazing at the glittering, adorable gold coins, Ye Hua even toyed with the idea of honing his archaeology skills to become a professional tomb raider. Of course, he ultimately abandoned this impractical notion; the time and energy required to reach Master level in archaeology were simply too much to bear.

Aphrodite, lying wounded and unable to rise, was equally bewildered. Could it be that the Cloth itself feared threats, possessing the wisdom to understand that those who yield to circumstances are the truly wise?

Suddenly, a wisp of black vapor emerged from the sarira, instantly burrowing into his palm. Liaoneng felt as though he were gripping a red-hot iron and could not help but let out a piercing shriek.

"It’s still so exhausting. Even a pig chews its food, but that one—he’d practically want a tube down his throat so fruit juice and broth could flow straight into his stomach," Han Ningxin said, gesturing toward the unconscious Lazyball.

Di Chongxiao stood within the gaps of the spiritual light inside the pit, secretly using his Spiritual Light Oddity to probe the surrounding pressure, his heart trembling in shock. Before he could recover, his senses, guided by the Oddity, detected three new, world-shaking auras emerging from beneath the earth and closing in.

After the victory, Ye Hua’s stinginess flared up again. He felt that using items was out of the question—these things cost money to produce, and if he kept using them like this, he’d go broke. To ensure he wouldn't waste items in a moment of panic, he temporarily "sealed" all his consumable goods, deciding not to use them in the arena again.

Life is rarely perfect, and the ten pairs of assassins who had narrowly escaped the spiritual tribulation were all wounded. They were in dire need of a delicious meal to fill their stomachs, and there was no prey in the world more perfect for a hunt than their "deadly enemies."

The patterned steel swords forged by the dwarves were like soft mud compared to the extraterrestrial dagger. Xingyang easily carved metal threads into the blades and sliced off large sections. The crowd watched in stunned silence as he shaved through steel as if it were wood, eventually whittling a long sword down into a short one.

He had taught Zhu Yunxuan before, even if it was in that "free-range" style of education. He had a profound understanding of the boy’s truly touching level of intelligence.

"A-Cheng, the paper on your desk is too fragrant. Use unscented ones next time; look, even the dog hasn't been eager to come near you lately," Ye Qingzhou remarked, sniffing the lingering scent on his fingertips as a reminder.

"Mr. Gu, I’ve brought you noodle soup, yogurt, and stomach medicine." As Ye Qingzhou handed over the items, he remembered his plan to return the favor for the meal he’d been treated to, so he asked casually, "What would you like to eat for lunch tomorrow?" He wanted to book a restaurant in advance.

"Doggy, don't make a fuss." Ye Qingzhou gently poked the white cat's fluffy head with one finger and nudged it aside.

She believed that Lord Jiang would not harm the children at this moment; after all, he was currently cherishing Jiang Wantong and her son as if they were the treasures in his own palms.

Moving on to the second trap, Wen Ning remembered that this was where she had found her Phoenix Sparrow Grass before. She walked along, carefully scrutinizing the vegetation, hoping to discover another stalk.

Hearing Sandezi put it that way, Zhu Yunxuan placed the porcelain pillow next to the jade cabbage. But just as he began to pack them, Sandezi spoke up again.

Looking at the state of it, it seemed his cheapskate master hadn't taken it back to feed the other junior brothers and sisters, leaving it to be enjoyed by other wild beasts instead.

Both men had their own thoughts, but without exception, their vigilance eased slightly. Yet, at that very moment, Yu Shu, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly lunged upward.

"Double the bet," Chu Xian said, tossing out another hundred thousand in chips, turning to look on with a smile. Xiao Xiao and the others followed his gaze.

The [Abyss of Dead Souls] governs death—even the undead can die once more. The [Valley of Eternal Life] governs life—beyond resurrection, it also grants immortality. These two techniques have no set order; whichever is comprehended first becomes the third move of the Seven Kills of the Underworld.

Later, he had somehow ended up in the City of Magic, never even catching a glimpse of the City of Demonic Beasts.

Yan Jin jumped back to the floor in a flash. This time, instead of using the app, he called Shuimu directly on his cell phone.

After seeing them quiet down, the Electric Eel King began to explain what had just happened to Xiao Nai. Only then did Xiao Nai understand that two powerful figures were indeed frozen within that iceberg: one was the Dark Kite, left half-dead by Xiao Nai’s electromagnetic cannon, and the other was Blackbeard, the deputy leader of the Black Wind Pirate Group whom Xiao Nai had met earlier that day.

The shares of the three were thirty percent for David, forty-five percent for Enze, and twenty-five percent for Chu Xian.

When he had flown halfway into the high altitude, the timer on Ultraman Tiga's chest seemed to turn colorless for a moment. However, in that very second, Ultraman Tiga chose to vanish.

"So that's how it is. The universe is vast, but there is no one better at warfare than the people of Earth... That's why they abduct those with strong combat power, brainwash them, and force them to serve as soldiers. Ah, one mystery solved!" Zongfang said, enlightened.
