Volume One, Chapter 61: Has the Lightning Ability Disappeared?
Page 1/3
Just then, Chen Sumei, Li Xinyi’s mother, heard the commotion from the courtyard and hobbled outside.
The instant this character appeared in the world, heaven and earth abruptly darkened. Howling winds swept through the sky, black clouds filled the heavens, and thunder crashed like the wrath of the gods. Even the heavens themselves seemed to change color.
In her subconscious, all these people combined perhaps still did not possess as much intimidating power as the title of a Hundred-house Captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
“Is it really that formidable? Could immortals truly exist in this world?” Chu Yue was somewhat bewildered. As his strength grew and he came into contact with more and more things, many of his former beliefs were overturned by his own experiences. His entire worldview had changed again and again, even collapsing at times.
Then, relying on the strategy of concentrating resources to raise the strongest commander, he had developed them all into elite forces equipped to the fullest, intending to use them against the Azure Sect brothers on his side.
“I... I’ll take it!” With the eyes of the entire class fixed upon him, especially Yu Manli watching him with concern, Li Ming could not bear to lose face. Gritting his teeth, he could only agree.
She had always been perceptive and quick-witted. After hearing what the father and son said, she had already faintly guessed Zhou Shu’an’s state of mind.
A pet beast carrying the bloodline of a dragon would have its value raised by several grades—even if it were only an earthworm.
Afterward, Ji Hanyu went to take the examinations for other subjects, while Ying Jiao went to another simulation room to sit for the mechanical-repair examination.
Now he was leisurely drinking Luo City beer and watching the people come and go along the nearby street. Four dishes—shredded pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, beer duck, and yellow-sand carp—still steamed on the table. There was also an extra cup placed opposite Chu Yue, clearly waiting for someone.
“I took your backpack off for you. That way, it won’t be too difficult for you to reach any medicine or other supplies you need. Don’t worry, nothing will happen. Just stay here and rest easy,” Lan Haichen said, patting the warrior on the shoulder.
Besides, he had more important plans for these million-plus soldiers. Naturally, he was unwilling to let too many of them die; that would only be his own loss.
“Then tell me—what is this? Don’t tell me it’s merely an ordinary cigarette.” Xiao Yang gave a cold laugh, seemingly mocking his own incompetence. Staring at the cigarette on the ground, he had seen plenty of such things. Smoking cigarettes like that was essentially no different from taking drugs.

The other man glanced around the room, confirming that Xu Duoduo had no chance of escaping. He picked up a large ring of keys from the broken table and left the room.
Xiao Luofan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Mo Zixi, who lay on the ground. Mo Zixi’s eyes were open, filled with unwillingness and a hint of disdain. He tried to stand, but a violent pain burst from the left side of his chest. In every other respect aside, when it came to fighting, he would never be a match for Xiao Luofan.
“With these people joining us, at least the basic framework of the orphanage has been established,” Ming Ye muttered, unable to hide his sense of accomplishment.
Chu Feng failed to notice the change in Xia Zijun’s expression and hurriedly introduced the features of this “inner armor.”
In Hu Niu’s mind, Qin Tiange must have endured the backlash of the blood contract in order to give her freedom, breaking the contract’s power.
The lecherous man finally approached and stopped in front of Yun. His eyes stared brazenly at her chest, where two buttons had been undone.
This was the origin of the battlefield—the most direct battlefield between humanity and the alien races. Step by step, they had retreated; step by step, they had abandoned their homeland, withdrawing into the four great main cities.
Looking at the three corpses on the ground, Jiang Chen showed not the slightest trace of pity. The Cold-Soul Flame wrapped around his palm. Starting with Wang You, he tore open their abdomens one after another. With the three essences already in his possession, he set the three blood-soaked corpses ablaze.
When Qing Dai ignored him, the young man’s eyes grew even brighter. The interest in his gaze toward her was completely undisguised.
Cry after cry, Feng Qi shrieked uncontrollably, until her world once more sank into boundless darkness.
The voices gradually faded into the distance. Qin Ninghe slowly descended onto a boulder and lightly brushed the sole of her foot across its surface, instantly polishing the stone until it was smooth and pristine.
Looking at Cai Yingyan nearby, whose cultivation was weak and whose clothes were thin, yet who acted as though nothing were amiss, he could not help feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Half a day passed, and the two warships faced each other across the void. The nine people at the head of the golden warship flew into the sky first. In response, the person seated upon the throne of the black warship also rose into the air with several companions.

The black-flamed figure waved with a smile. “Do not be nervous. I mean you no harm, and I am not a bad person.”
A moment later, Xiang Jian actually relaxed his body and withdrew his fist. Tilting his head, he simply stared at Liang Hanji from a distance of less than a foot, without saying a word.
“We’ll compete in martial techniques alone. How about it?” Pride adorned Hou Zuo’s face. This was not mere arrogance on Hou Zuo’s part. In Wuzhang Commandery, when it came solely to martial technique, he ranked among the very best of the young people at his level. He could even contend with those in the second stage without falling behind. Naturally, he would use his own strength to attack another’s weakness.
“Good!” Everyone’s spirits rose as well. After all, having come this far, every member of the Ultimate Dao Immortal Sect had a duty to fight for the others. Lu Ziyu had that duty, and so did everyone else.
The other person lay face down on the table with her eyes closed, her hair tied into a high ponytail that revealed a clean, delicate forehead. It was Monday, the day of the flag-raising ceremony, and she wore the school’s custom snow-white short-sleeved uniform. Because she found it too hot, she had undone two buttons at the collar, leaving her collarbones faintly visible.
Of course, the most embarrassing one was Ying Wuji. His name had been twisted into an even worse joke, to the point that people were practically calling him a eunuch.
Furthermore, Fu Hao’s learning was extraordinary, and Fang Hu deeply admired his scholarship. For that reason, he was extremely reluctant to part with Archivist Fu.
He had advanced from the perfected late-stage realm to the Innate Realm. Although he had only just entered the Innate Realm, it was still the Innate Realm—separated from the perfected late stage by a difference as vast as heaven and earth.
“The transmission coordinates are a U.S. military base in Western Europe. The Americans haven’t withdrawn?” Xie Mao asked.
A pair of cold eyes stared at his face. Luo Tian’s eyes remained fixed on him as his body trembled. In the end, his gaze gradually went vacant.
