Volume One, Chapter 30: Exchange Center: The Prologue to Cloud City Academy’s Reforms

Zhao Liuya nodded. She knew Guo Cai was right; whatever troubles might arise were matters for another day. For now, it was best to just sit back and watch Wang Tian perform, and worry about the consequences later.

The sound of wind doubled. To the left and right of Ding Huo, two identical Kaguras appeared. Though startled, Ding Huo reacted quickly. Lacking the time to unsheathe his force weapon, he unleashed the Nine Suns Thunder Transformation barehanded, throwing a punch toward the Kagura on the left.

"Help with what?" Aier asked warily, secretly suspecting that this request might be a trap.

Yi said with a hollow pleasantry, "I have already sent Lady Wang Lin to the Heavenly Realm to face judgment," offering the statement without provocation.

Lin Meimian lay on her familiar bed. She was well aware of all that had transpired in recent days. She had never imagined she would return to Ming Mountain in such a way, reclaiming her position as Sovereign. She was truly grateful to have met those who were kind to her; even if they had hurt each other or locked horns, it was all in the past now, wasn't it?

"Heh, such a temper. But Ding, what is it you want?" Xu Fu’s tone was no longer amiable.

The incident alarmed the upper echelons of leadership. Given their previous ties, the state dispatched this expedition team, hoping for some results.

"Brilliant, truly brilliant!" Jiang Yan suddenly began to clap, seemingly unable to stop praising Hua Qingyi.

Gladiators were forbidden from approaching the outer ring, and anyone who did so would be executed on the spot. It was only by secretly gathering information near the mad priest that Ami had gained a slight understanding of the entire architectural layout of the Bloody Arena.

Aier looked back curiously, only to see that person open the palace gates and usher in another Spirit Warrior.

"Cultivation in the Spirit Origin Realm primarily involves absorbing spiritual energy into the body and storing it as spirit essence. Following this path alone, one can only reach the peak of the Ninth Level of the Spirit Origin Realm—what the world knows as the pinnacle of the Spirit Origin—but this is not the true end of the realm."

Upon seeing this, everyone in the air was terrified. Without a second thought, they activated secret techniques to flee into the distance. While the average person did not recognize the identities of the three who had suddenly appeared, they did.

"Stop it. From tomorrow on, just focus on earning money; I have to go coax my mother." The reply came from the other side, accompanied by a mischievous emoji.

The figure in the black robe produced a seven-colored stone. "This object is called the Primordial Stone. It possesses the power to withstand tribulations and will help you identify the descendants within your respective factions who are truly capable of shouldering great responsibilities."

Nearby, several fire trucks and ambulances were racing toward the airport, along with a hearse—all in anticipation of the plane heading their way.

These words were an improvisation by Zhou Aili, made up on the spot. She feared that if these people knew the items were for Feng Hua, Feng Hua would be too embarrassed to accept their payment. These things were not cheap; how could she accept them for free?

Bai Ziqing felt it was impossible to communicate with Liu Zixin. The girl didn't consider herself an outsider at all. To hear her talk, it sounded as if Bai Ziqing were the outsider instead.

Could it be that he also knew she had just called his Mo Du ability too perverted? That would be truly miserable.

"This subordinate knows, I know." Upon seeing the Great Seal, Wang Han immediately lowered his head, feigning a look of trembling fear.

"One more of you is not too many, and one less is not too few. If you want to die, I don't mind using these ghost hands of mine to end your life personally!" The pockmarked man clenched his five fingers; as he squeezed, a series of crisp cracking sounds echoed from his knuckles.

Hearing the name "Qu Ran" in his ears,贺 Chenfeng’s eyes turned even redder. In his bloodshot pupils, the mere thought of all the suffering and hardship Qu Ran had endured because of him made him realize that even if he sacrificed his life to make amends, it would never be enough.

Li Ruoyi said nothing. Tears slid from the corners of her eyes, yet she was smiling, shaking her head slowly as she laughed.

How much longer could she live? Just as Yan Yazhen had thought, her future was uncertain.

After all, whether she saw him or not, the status quo could no longer be changed. She was destined to be with Luo Yifan, one way or another.

That devil—he really understood her. No, she had to leave early, or she would be caught red-handed.

Of course, just as others couldn't kill him, he couldn't take them down either. After all, his cultivation was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, but overall, having a powerful physical body was a good thing.

"Is there a tremor underground?" Gao Yuan calmed his mind to sense it. Indeed, faint vibrations were coming from beneath the earth; the crust seemed somewhat unstable.

His purpose in performing the Soul-Searching Technique was merely to discover where the high-ranking members of the Feng family lived and to identify who were Feng Kuang's confidants. He believed only those close to Feng Kuang would know the true state of the Feng family.

From the moment he left the back playground and returned here, his gaze remained fixed on that door.

Most importantly, to Wang Fangxiong, Gao Fei was more than just a subordinate; he was a source of endless gold and silver, something no one else could compare to.

Lin Chen thought for a moment before finally stepping in to stop Kong Shiqing. Regardless of everything, Kong Fang was the only friend he had in Que City; he couldn't just stand by and watch.

"The master is called Hu Daniu, and the village is Daniu Village. Wait, the village isn't named after the master, is it? Is the master that awesome?" Chen Yun was lost in thought, but in the next second, he learned the reason.

In reality, his gaze swept over Tingting, then toward the floor lamp in the distance, where a colorful spider sat. Next to it was the Acacia chair, and beside the chair was a nightstand topped with a small statue less than a foot tall.
