Chapter 60: Transformation at the Training Ground: A New Starting Point

This feeling was as though this dinner was the final opportunity to sit together with Cangyun, chat about everyday life, and share wine and food.

There were only eight hundred combat-ready personnel on the entire island. Although there were plenty of naval forces, once distributed among the ships, the number available per vessel was quite small, leaving only five ships capable of combat.

The Extreme Night Disc was forged hundreds of years ago by a ninth-rank Spirit Emperor-class array master, who had devoted his entire life to gathering four Black Nether Pearls in order to track down the Myriad Night King.

Advancing five or six miles, the sky had already grown dark. The official road ahead suddenly narrowed because low hills flanked both sides. Such terrain could only be considered a narrow path rather than a true canyon.

An Yu felt a vague sense of unease. He carefully scanned his surroundings, but perhaps due to the heavy fog, he could perceive nothing beyond a radius of five miles.

While the fierce battle between Guwang and Mohe was unfolding on all fronts, the domestic situation within Milai grew increasingly turbulent. Several states that declared their secession from the Milai Kingdom erupted into extremely brutal conflicts. Although the regular Milai army held a slight upper hand, the rebels relied on fortified cities for defense, making it difficult for the government forces to make headway.

Gradually, a very peculiar notion took root in the minds of many people among the ten major continental-level factions.

At that very moment, a vanguard cavalry troop of several dozen Mongols suddenly charged in, violently knocking over scores of refugees. Riding on horseback, they skillfully drew their bows, slaughtering a hundred refugees in the blink of an eye. Their own losses amounted to no more than one or two riders whose horses happened to stumble.

Standing on a five-meter-high ladder, as Seo-hyun climbed up, the image captured by the camera below lost all aesthetic appeal. The cameraman shouted "Cut," bringing the first part of the shooting to an end.

By the time Chu Tian reached the age of twenty and was eligible to marry, Su Yu would be forty-three. For a top-tier Human King, he would still be in his prime at that time, right at the peak of his combat strength. Furthermore, odds were that by then, Su Yu might already have attained the realm of an Earth Immortal.

Xu Xian had just inspected the place and discovered that the entire island was actually a massive array that gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was what endowed the island with such vitality.

Meanwhile, Taeyeon shrank her neck abruptly. Startled just as much, she had never expected that a casual remark on her part would be immediately followed by a literal "bang" on the scene.

"You've sacrificed so much, but what have you gained?" Xu Muqing asked, deeply curious about what kind of ability the other person had ultimately acquired.

"It's you? The one who set the trap was you?" Bai Suzhen's expression turned solemn. He was well aware of Yinglong's formidable power; even though the latter had now fallen to the Samsara Realm, if a real fight broke out, Bai Suzhen did not even have a ten percent certainty of defeating him.

Mo Wenjian instantly looked somewhat aggrieved and said, "Actually, I didn't want to do this either, but Jian Wuhen of the Mount Shu Sword Sect has already issued a challenge to me, declaring that he wants to duel with me in swordsmanship a month from now. Jian Wuhen is an outstanding disciple of the Mount Shu Sword Sect who, just like me, has stepped into the realm of microscopic swordsmanship. I cannot afford to lose this battle."

The young woman beside him was wearing a knitted sweater, belonging to that pure and cute type, and she looked at Gu Liming with a bright, cheerful smile.

Above the Heavenly Pass, immortals and deities sat cross-legged. As they meditated, their powerful magical powers merged into the void, continuously repairing the great array.

After successfully escaping abroad, Xu Muqing, having hit rock bottom, climbed step by step to the summit of the world.

Jian Ning also smiled, gentle and graceful: "Of course. Money can be earned, and a job can be found again. However, the opportunity to be mentored by Director Ke does not present itself all the time."

Such a distance would certainly not drag on for long. Just as Tang Yun could be said to be reaching his wits' end, two mercenary squads previously laid in ambush by Song Minghao among the two cosmic warships suddenly rushed out, adding insult to injury by forming a defensive line right in Tang Yun's path.

With a loud bang, the King Yue Spear collided with this pitch-black object. I felt a tremendous force transmit from the object, and I even fancied that my internal organs were about to shatter completely. That terrifying offensive power truly shocked me to the core.

"You—" Lei Xiao made a motion to kick Nangong Bai, only to be pulled back by Bailang standing beside him. Lei Xiao looked at Bailang with great surprise, as if Bailang's personality had converged significantly ever since he was rescued, losing the arrogance and domineering attitude he used to display.

Complaining was just complaining, but An Jinghao generally still carried out Jiang Chengxuan's instructions, even if he was always the one who ended up having bad luck.

"Where is Xia Zhenghe?" Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, Shen Haodong allowed Liu Lili and her son to get into the car.

"Rest assured! I, Qin Lan, am quite magnanimous! Just wait to receive our application tomorrow! Beep~ beep~ beep..." A busy signal immediately followed from the phone.

He had been the earliest to leave the banquet, presumably to arrange this matter. He did not know it was her birthday, so the character "Ning" must have been carved just moments ago.

Bai Xue nodded understandingly. "Then it's no fun!" In truth, what she cared about most was simply whether it was fun or not.

Watching Li Tian's terrified expression, Li Jian felt as though his heart was being pierced by knives, yet he was utterly powerless to help. He hadn't been at the scene last time, but what about now? Wasn't it still the exact same story?

Yet in the end, she could still push her into the abyss without batting an eye, watching with her own eyes as she was skinned and de-finned.

These words seemed to enrage the drunkard further, making him all the more unwilling to let Chen Heguo leave. Initially terrified, Chen Heguo calmed down, only to feel a rising wave of annoyance. Noticing that the drunkard was even starting to get handsy, she lost the last of her patience, shoved his hand away, and delivered a sharp slap across his face.

"Heh heh, there's no need to use talking to buy time. If you want to let that good-for-nothing down, go ahead and do it. Anyway, none of you will escape today." Wang Tao walked out clad in a cyan robe, which appeared to be a lower-grade spiritual treasure, shimmering with a hazy azure light and faintly emitting the sound of a beating pulse.

The silver-armored youth finally made up his mind. Stamping his foot on the ground, his figure instantly flashed forward, charging fiercely toward the meditating Chen Luo.

However, "Sister Azhi," who had expected a point of no return, immediately turned around and headed back. Seeing the expression on her face as if she had just seen a ghost, the three occupants inside the carriage were all startled.

"Heh, when did my son also become so sensible?" Lady Ji wiped her eyes, took the bowl, and said.

"Fu Shenxing!" She angrily hurled a pillow at him, but the pillow failed to even fly past the edge of the bed, only succeeding in provoking an even louder burst of laughter from him.
