Volume 1, Chapter 29: The Ordeal of Love!

Fang Yan immediately drew the attention of two defenders. Seeing Duan Chong’s movement, he grasped the intent instantly, received the pass, and threaded a through ball ahead of him.

Unfortunately, teachers with such generosity were rare in school; finding one was as difficult as winning the lottery. It was precisely for this reason that Li Yuntian’s words left everyone feeling so exhilarated.

Stepping out of the Heart’s Illusion, Hui Hui’s gaze grew more resolute. She pressed her hand against the hilt of her blade and slowly crouched. Simultaneously, Sakura Thirty-Eight adopted her stance, signaling that this battle would allow for no turning back.

A colossal figure appeared before Liu Ning, and when he saw who it was, he froze in astonishment.

Tuoba Tao was warming himself by the fire when Lu Yinyin pushed the door open and stepped inside, the cold wind she brought in making him shiver repeatedly.

Chi Jiujiu kept her head bowed. She did not want Xi Si to see her reddened eyes. She wanted to say something to her, but the words would not come.

However, only three minutes later, he felt his entire body begin to heat up; it seemed as if the energy within him was about to erupt.

This text message was the gathering signal from his teammates in the disposal squad, who had parked their car outside the school to wait for Le Ge.

Although Sun Xu had expressed his intention to help, Chen Yiwu valued only Sun Xu’s status, not his capability. After all, he was barely twenty; what kind of talent could he possibly possess?

The setting sun lazily cast its final light upon the earth. Looking out, the land of Nanzhong was filled with people returning with their hunt; everything felt so peaceful and serene.

Li Yiqing was at his wit's end. He finally understood why Sun Hao had suppressed the matter regarding Xia Meng—he intended to strike back! That shameless wretch was utterly despicable, banking on the fact that he wouldn’t dare stir up trouble.

Bei Hai naturally saw "who" had returned; it would be hard to miss a creature as large as the sea lion, Piqiu. Of course, this wasn't the first time the fellow had climbed onto the deck, but Bei Hai had to pretend to be very happy as he walked over.

"Wang Yong, I have a lot of things to attend to at the company these next few days. Could you help me look after Xin'er?" Seeing that Wang Yong was about to leave, Qiu Lan suddenly felt a sense of panic and blurted out.

There were no other guests on the third floor besides Luo Kaixian’s party, so everyone acted quite freely.

Moreover, these preparations were not the entirety of the confidence that allowed Luo to dare charge directly into the city. More importantly, it was his assessment of the battlefield: would the Song Emperor, Zhao Heng, and his ministers dare to fight a war on their own doorstep?

The underground passage was over ten meters high and eight or nine meters wide. A cylindrical object almost entirely blocked the tunnel, its surface densely covered with half-meter-long spikes.

The Great Wisdom Heart Buddha Mother flicked her hand, and a stone basin flew out. She aimed the opening at Gongsun Xuanba, and as the basin emitted a glow and descended, it drew him inside.

Just as Chu Chen was gazing excitedly at the Yin Emperor Relic before him, eager to pounce upon it, a soft blue orb of light appeared in front of him.

"I’ve recently co-owned a horse. When I’m in Los Angeles, I make sure to go to the track and place a few bets if I have the time. I win more than I lose..." Carson said to Bei Hai.

The next stage of the Sword Heart Lucid state is "Sword Soul Refinement." A practitioner who reaches this level has comprehended their own unique "Sword Soul," which can be integrated into the flesh, granting parts of their body the characteristics of a longsword.

Qi Hao could not figure it out, but just then, he heard footsteps approaching from behind, clearly aimed at him.

Wan Min and Pan Xiaowen were both knocked to the ground. Mu Ziyun had seen Wan Min’s methods many times and knew her well. The moment Wan Min entered her four-star White Stealth state, he used compressed flames to trigger a chain reaction of explosions, literally blasting her out of her stellar form.

Black Colt did not care for a mutually destructive outcome. Using the fire of the "Soul Guide," he separated their souls and forcibly pushed Mu Ziyun away.

Li Ziwen had reached his limit, and it was only by risking his life that he managed to return to the sect. He did not know that none of the sect leaders were present, effectively letting the wolf into the house.

Jin Sha forced himself to calm down. Since this wasn't about the tomb of the Sea Phoenix, and the Fire Dragon wasn't in his possession, he had no reason to worry, and his tone hardened.

Although Chai Fei relied on his solid foundation and was at the peak of the Yaoguang realm, he dared not let his guard down against a master of the Kaiyang level. He tilted his short blade to parry the killer’s long sword, while simultaneously slamming a pre-charged lightning orb into the Kaiyang-level assassin.

When Qi Hao finished speaking, he saw that the section of the ship's outer shell closest to him had actually begun to melt.

"Then why did we on the twenty-eighth day hear the hymn of the Great Lord of Cucuan?" Ling Dang still couldn't understand.

Chaos’s mouth twitched as he forced a smile; even though he had a thousand things he wanted to say, he couldn't utter a word.

Everyone had the illusion that the "tribulation cloud" was descending lower and lower, until it seemed as if it might finally fall. The electrical arcs flickering within were like the tongue of a silver snake, as if at any moment they would break free from the shackles of the clouds.

Most strangely, Li Qing’s name was nowhere to be found on the wealth or Forbes lists. Was this an oversight, or something else? Where on earth did this Li Qing pop up from?

Otherwise, the Hundred Ghost Gate would have long ago dispatched experts to occupy this valley. If that were the case, the cultivators and Tang Yan’s group currently searching for treasure would likely have met with disaster.

Though the Blood Puppet was puzzled, he did not intend to press the matter. After all, they were the meat on the chopping block and he was the fish; it was better to answer the questions obediently. He did not want to experience that soul-piercing pain again.

Looking at Baili Zhe, who was groveling before him like a dog begging for his life, Tang Yan felt a wave of disgust. Baili Zhe was accustomed to such servility. Tang Yan would never trust a man like that.

Thinking this, the old man exerted all his strength to catch the object. A flash of red light vanished, and it landed steadily in his hand, not at all as he had imagined.

Guo Linhai, Elder Guo, was undoubtedly the pillar of the Guo family. He had two sons; the eldest branch consisted of his son Guo Zhiyuan and his grandson Guo Yu.

"Mr. Shang..." The butler was about to step forward to say something, but Shang Lingsi suddenly whipped his head around to look at Yu Xinxing.

In the deep recesses of space-time within Peace City, the Honorable Moon sat cross-legged in his secret training ground. Enjoying the influx of destiny’s power, which had elevated his strength by another notch, he could not help but sigh with satisfaction.
