Chapter 34

The only drawback is that using the scope on the Type 85 sniper rifle becomes difficult after using night-vision goggles.

Threads of primordial fire essence surged like a rising tide, converging into the body of the fire-being. In an instant, the flames overwhelmed the golden light, illuminating the entire cavern.

Early the next morning, Li Tianfeng was awakened by a voice outside his tent. "Brother Tianfeng, are you awake? It’s time for us to head out." It was Xu Zhiyong’s voice.

"Don't even think about escaping!" Wan Zhansheng shouted, blocking Luo Yu’s path. Though it was a risk, he was determined not to let the youth escape again today. Firstly, he never let an opponent go; secondly, he feared that if this boy were to grow immensely powerful in the future, he would become a threat to the entire Blazing Sun Empire.

Even for mages, flying across is incredibly difficult. The highest peaks in the central mountain range have thin, frigid air, forcing mages to fly at extreme altitudes to cross them. Without sufficient cultivation and strength, one could easily collapse mid-journey due to oxygen deprivation.

"Thank you for your hard work," Xu Miao said sincerely. Xu Ya had mentioned in her letters how difficult this girl’s life had been, and seeing her now, she felt a pang of heartache.

Gao Chuan looked at Li Hui’s slightly disappointed expression and understood that those who had left the team would likely never have another chance to join the national squad. This was not just Li Hui’s stance, but presumably that of the entire coaching staff.

"Haha... Hahaha..." The boss laughed heartily upon hearing this. Xu Liang watched the grandfather and grandson, a smile playing on his lips. His estimation of Xu Miao rose significantly.

Once inside the hospital, she took the initiative to cling to Song Weili’s arm, entering the ward with a sweet, radiant smile.

Some believe that the process by which Itō Sukeyuki led the Imperial Japanese Navy to defeat the Beiyang Fleet during the Battle of the Yalu River in the First Sino-Japanese War was inspired by the French Navy.

A resonant, spirited voice announced his arrival as the Panda waddled in, his round belly leading the way.

The secret realm might exist on a different plane within the same world as the myths; it would be quite ironic to enter the Classic of Mountains and Seas only to find oneself unable to access the Underworld.

Ji Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Let’s wait until tomorrow; it’s too early to draw conclusions." In his heart, however, he knew that their motives were likely not pure. As the old saying goes, "Those who offer gifts without reason are either villains or thieves." If there were suspicious circumstances surrounding his father-in-law's death, these people currying favor were the primary suspects.

Hearing this, he knew the Federation was determined to intervene in this matter to seize control of the Game Administration in Los Angeles.

Citing her virtue, wisdom, and beauty, Wei Chi unexpectedly added Ji Yunwan to the list.

Fu Xinghan, of course, did not know where the rest of the documents were now, but the ones in his hands had been given to him by Ling Yunpeng. He knew Ling Yunpeng must know the location of the others, so he tried to stall for time, hoping to force Ling Yunpeng to answer the question for him.

At the Cuiyun Palace in the Netherworld, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva calculated that Sun Wukong had rebelled against the Heavenly Court and summoned two of his one-horned ghost kings to give them instructions.

The young Emperor had been molded by the late Empress into someone entirely different from herself—a man of clear, upright character who distinguished love from hate. His attitude toward his biological mother was ambiguous; he maintained a politeness that was so distant it bordered on estrangement.

A "click" sounded in Ren Lingmiaomiao’s mind, like a lock snapping shut, as the cause and effect began to weave together.

Cold bayonets pierced flesh, and broad blades severed heads! Both sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the first large-scale melee involving cold weapons during the Battle of Luodian.

Li Hengsheng spoke coldly; the first part of his sentence was for Jiang Lingxue, but the second was directed with a glare at Qin Tianchen.

"Why are you still making phone calls? Go there yourself!" Li Zhaozheng sternly rebuked Lin Jianzheng.

Fei Dun sighed. He knew Hua Biqing’s temperament well, so he stopped in his tracks, no longer trying to persuade her.

But now, because Wei Yi was cultivating here, two distinct and mysterious powers—the essence of water and the essence of fire—began to surge forth.

Suspicion is like a venomous snake; one bite can easily take a life. Even if one is resuscitated, they dare not come close again. Yuzhen could agree to keep the child, but she could not convince herself to let her heart lean toward him once more.

"Huangfu Lei, you fool, you self-righteous idiot! Why did you have to act so tough?" Dongfang Wensi cried out, her voice turning hoarse.

Wei Yi stood in mid-air, facing the overwhelming and terrifying pressure, like a lone boat caught in a storm at sea.

The Ninth Master was currently drunk, and there was no guarantee he wouldn't say something foolish. Fang Luo dared not ask the other young masters for help, fearing the Ninth Master might let something slip about the past between the Eighth Master and the Ninth Mistress, which would be disastrous if overheard.

It was unclear if Wang Chaojun had sensed something, but he later promoted Qi Ya, placing her in charge of his subsidiary, Taida Real Estate. It appeared to be a promotion, but in reality, she was now cut off from the core of the Xinglong Group.

She never imagined that at such a time, Fu Qian would still protect her. Everyone thought she had harmed Yuzhen, and since Fu Qian cared so much for Yuzhen, he should have hated her, too. So why? Why did he save her?

He Yuting sighed, her expression listless. "It’s pretty much as the flesh-and-blood body described. I want to eat crab." If she wasn't the "first to eat crab," then she really had succeeded, hadn't she? At the very least, among all the players, she was the first to enter the dungeon.
