Volume 1, Chapter 27: The Portal Labyrinth: A Brave Expedition into the Spirit Energy Laboratory

"I am not a fool, brother; I have kept more money for myself than you have," Li Li interrupted, cutting off her younger brother's emotional plea.

But before that thought could fully take flight, Lu Xiao had already returned, carrying a medical kit.

The Battle of Zhuolu—that clash remains a classic, a testament to the victory of the few over the many in the history of the primordial world and the human race.

So-called "Bone Beasts" originate from the Calamity of the Bone Mask. Some Calamity-afflicted beings whose souls have stabilized can, through the divine grace of the Bone Mask Supreme, offer their own souls and bones as sacrifices to fuse with a "Fetal-stage Nightmare Beast"—thereby gaining the ability to command it.

He then closed his eyes, refusing to look at Yun You’s pretentious, old-mannered demeanor, fearing that if he watched any longer, he would truly slap him into the dirt.

If an outsider were watching without context, they would surely assume Ling Yun was the prince and Ling Hongyu the subordinate.

Mu Qingtong sucked on a bright red, crystalline fruit, her pretty right cheek bulging. As her pearly teeth gently bit down, the wonderful sweet and sour flavor seeped onto her tender tongue, the nectar sliding down into her belly. As if savoring a delicacy of the world, she leaned lazily against Xia Fan’s chest, her beautiful eyes half-closed in pure contentment.

However, not everyone who heard these words rushed toward the pit; there were still a few who were not fools.

After the security guards finished their three lion-like roars, they retreated in unison to both sides, clearing a path for Zhao Daxun and the line of "male models" holding oversized tablets.

"Damn it, this is so boring! Why do you have to cause so much trouble for me!" Liu Da roared, throwing a few more slaps. Only when he saw that Yan Li had no strength left to resist did he finally let go.

"The command tallies for the Qiang and Yue tribes are not in my hands. I have already entrusted them to the person I trust most. So, even if you imprison or kill us, it is useless. The three hundred thousand troops of the Qiang and Yue tribes will never obey you, no matter what." A-Xiang smiled silently.

"What are your plans now?" In the tavern, Di Zhonghai and the others, their faces flushed with wine, asked with a laugh.

For some reason, as Chu Han looked at Shui Xuanyue at that moment, he suddenly felt she was so similar to Shen Qingxuan.

Xiao Mingzhu played until the moon hung high in the sky before returning home with reluctance. Jia Haojie watched her carriage enter the General's Mansion before he departed.

Chu Han nodded. Although he had never met this Ao Zhan, he could determine one thing from the descriptions provided by Fu Qingxue and Fu Qianshan: this Ao Zhan was indeed a formidable character.

Nurse Shang felt quite troubled. Investigating the recent servants in the manor might uncover the spies planted by the Emperor, but what then? Remove them? Or coerce and bribe them into their own camp? Neither seemed feasible.

Once finished devouring, the two systems each occupied their own side, patting their stomachs—which hadn't changed in the slightest—feeling thoroughly satisfied.

Bai Yang then invoked the power of the Golden Crow’s Purifying Flame, purging all the blood-evil from Yao Mei’er’s sea of consciousness. He channeled his supreme Yang spiritual energy into her delicate body, transforming it into the Dao Flame of the Supreme Yang to incinerate and purify the blood-evil force, causing her previously chaotic aura to gradually stabilize, even restoring her spirit to a normal state.

Father also said that the betrothal gifts he prepared the other day had already stirred up quite a bit of gossip, with many saying he had overstepped ancient customs. She didn't understand the regulations for a Prince's betrothal gifts, but she knew someone was using this matter to target him in the shadows.

"Why are you all staring at me? Hurry up and listen to Liu Yifei sing!" Ye Fan said, looking at the crowd with frustration.

Beigong Ling immediately led the elders out of the side hall, finding that the spiritual energy was gradually becoming denser. The Beigong clansmen entered a state of readiness at once, with the entire world on high alert.

At this moment, Whale Leopard was also looking at the equipment in his hands. The appearance of several elite Huaxia forces was within his expectations, and he did not fear them. However, when he saw the arm patches worn by the squad at the southern exit of the factory, his mouth twitched involuntarily several times.

"It really is as I thought!" Xia Yang sighed to himself, his intuition telling him this was the organization Maeda belonged to.

At this moment, Yang Liefeng was still pinned to the ground. It was too late to dodge, and too late to summon his battle-suit spirit box to cover his body. He could only fully channel his spiritual energy and the power of his Chaos bloodline, taking the Great Ape’s attack head-on.

Good heavens! A giant falling in mid-air? Could it be a legendary alien? There were not only time and location details but even photos of the giant. In an instant, the giant in the night sky spread across social media. In just one night, it reached tens of thousands of views, and the comments were an absolute hodgepodge.

The great blade slashed through the air, the powerful force of the impact causing the ground to explode violently, sending soil and stones flying.

After entering the cockpit, Yang Liefeng moved the top-grade spirit stones to manipulate the Huangquan Flying Ship's steering formation, beginning the journey toward Thousand Material Island.

"What the hell do you know! Who gave you the right to speak here?" Wei Ping glared at the short-haired man who had spoken. He had no intention of letting Lin Feng go; he planned to humiliate him thoroughly first, and then he would decide whether to beat him or not.

Moreover, not only had he obtained the cultivation techniques and martial skills, but after mastering them, he would be able to leave in peace.

"Should we set up a special secret room for President Zheng and invite a few security guards to come talk?" Si Zhe sneered sarcastically.

Of course, this had a lot to do with Pu Shougen, the manager of Quanzhou Port. Half the credit for the port’s prosperity belonged to him. Although he was born and raised on this fertile Huaxia soil and served as an official of the Great Song Dynasty, he always considered himself to have the bloodline of the outer barbarians.

Superior Water God, Superior Dragon God: Can freely manipulate the two elements of water and wind, shaping the intangible elements according to their own will. Can be used for both offense and defense, exerting immense pressure on lower-ranked beings and greatly enhancing the body's physical strength.

"I’ll remember that!" Jian Ping nodded, only half-understanding. However, she didn't think Chen Zhen’s playing the pig to eat the tiger was particularly bad. She only felt that Chen Zhen was a good person.

In this way, the anger over inexplicably losing her first kiss yesterday and the grievance of being groundlessly accused by Song Min’er seemed to finally be settled.

Wang Zha ignored them entirely, continuing to eat the meat roasted to crispy perfection by Ye Liangchen and his group. Watching Ye Liangchen’s blade hovering right beside his head, unable to strike any further, the smile on his face grew even broader.

The Yuan army had always been extremely strict in their control of weapons, not only toward the common people—forbidding them from owning weapons, even requiring several households to share a single kitchen knife—but even the runners working for them were only equipped with a whistle-stick; they wouldn't even be provided with a blade.
