Volume 1, Chapter 62: The Survivor Base

The entire warship was painted black on top and red on the bottom with earth-derived lacquer. The people gathered on the makeshift dock looked in utter shock at the colossal, unprecedented monster from the sea.

Wang Feng took a deep drag from his cigarette and smiled calmly. "With your medical skills, becoming a chief surgeon in a major city hospital would be a breeze. Staying here is somewhat of a waste of your talent." The old doctor smiled, patted Wang Feng on the shoulder, and offered no explanation.

Chen Xinghai’s aunt and uncle watched the two men who had just been brandishing blades and steel pipes suddenly groveling and crying for mercy. Initially, they were struck dumb with disbelief, but soon they found it entirely natural—after all, since their nephew could master god-like medical arts, he ought to possess god-like abilities.

"As long as you have enough spirit jades, money is absolute no issue on my end," Ye Bai chimed in.

Whether it was due to good luck or something else, Luo Ange kept winning continuously afterward, while Zhou Yang suffered the most crushing defeat and eventually resorted to making eyes at me to beg for mercy.

I never expected the old master to be aware of all this. After all, this was a private matter between my wife and me. Was he now asking because he intended to intervene?

Wang Feng could no longer stand the sight. He rushed forward and kicked a man five to six meters away. The man lay on the ground, twitching and on the verge of death. Before Wang Feng, these ordinary mortals seemed as fragile as paper.

Within the span of two breaths, the mountain-like colossal whirlwind hurled them straight above the giant black crocodile. Seeing that cavernous mouth growing closer and closer, while a soul-shattering, terrifying pressure seeped through the cracks of the furnace lid, all four of them coughed up mouthfuls of fresh blood.

"Hahahaha! So that is how it is. To merge as one with the universe, roaming freely between heaven and earth—where is there that I cannot go?" Han Xiao laughed aloud.

Especially with the quest requirements, which seemingly demanded a visit to some [Rabbit God Temple] to slay the [Rabbit God's Eye] and rightfully reclaim the [original glory of the holy elves].

"No way, it’s actually crying!" Xiangling looked down and saw two large, glistening tears rolling down the husky's eyes, leaving her dumbfounded.

Moreover, after such an incident, he had gained a thorough understanding of Zhu Youning's ability and talent.

Damn it, anyway, having achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, Colin finally perked up a bit. What the hell, he had been dogged by pure bad luck these past few days; judging by today's ease of breakthrough, his luck should finally be turning around, right? Colin laughed like a lunatic, acting completely unhinged.

Qin Zhaoning had kept her red bridal veil on all this time, wishing for the man she loved to lift it. Therefore, despite all that had transpired, she had not wavered, yearning for a perfect wedding.

Thrush and Lark had been by Zhu Youning's side for many years, remaining utterly loyal and especially tight-lipped. Some secrets were never carelessly spoken of even when returning home to Zhu Huating and Madam Bai. Zhu Youning planned to arrange good marriages for them when they grew older, and even after marriage, she would have them return to her side as managing stewardesses.

Damn it! Another dismemberment killing. This Ertai lacked any originality whatsoever. Yi Dadi muttered inwardly while clearing away the bowls and chopsticks from just after the meal.

"Why are you so shameless? It sounds nice, but don't I know how much these things are worth? Do you think I'd let you take advantage of me? Besides, replacing items in the bureau requires filing a report; you can't just swap them out whenever you want, understand?" Qian Xing rinsed the tea leaves with boiling water at around 90 degrees Celsius before finally pouring the water to brew the tea.

In this way, although subsequent struggles for the faith of the divine planes would involve clashing with other lineages of main gods, the former meant fighting one lineage against ten, while the latter meant fighting three lineages against eight. The advantages and disadvantages were self-evident.

Chu Yun felt as though his worldview was on the verge of collapse. His understanding of Wu Yun'er was still far from sufficient, or rather, he had selectively forgotten the time he was sent flying by her collision.

Zhang Wei had already sensed malicious intent from the people of Flourishing Tang, and upon Anderson's remarks, Flourishing Tang undoubtedly stirred greedy thoughts again. If they could monopolize Atlantis, all kinds of resources would follow... and then the struggle to ascend to the next level... The spiritual alertness Zhang Wei had honed through countless slaughters began to sound alarm bells.

Nolan had never been to Haji Village and felt somewhat restrained. Yu Zhe, on the other hand, was carefree and boisterous, acting as if the place was his home turf. Han An tugged at his mother's hem and politely greeted everyone. Zexi wasn't shy at all; within a short while, she had warmed up to the newcomers, affectionately calling out to each of them one by one.

The handsome man smiled, very charmingly, staring at Qi Dan. Qi Dan felt a bit shy and slightly averted her gaze to avoid meeting his eyes. Previously, she didn't know he was an Ifrian and could act without restraint, but now she couldn't.

The existence duration of armor came in two forms: one based on the number of blocked hits or total blocked health, such as an ice wall which would shatter once its health threshold was exceeded; the other based on a time limit, which would not disappear until the designated duration expired.

The Ministry of Palace Works dispatched a pushcart to help Wang Wei deliver the items to the Du estate. After the gatekeeper announced his arrival, Du Gou came out to greet him.

Feeling the boundless energy within the heavenly tribulation, the four of them did not dare to step forward and instead followed behind the Turtle Immortal, circling around to Emerson's side.

While Xiong Sandaolong was sent flying backward, Xiao Chen sprang forward, his figure blurring into an afterimage as he charged toward Xiong Sandaolong. He raised his foot in a swift, fierce side kick, leaving Xiong Sandaolong utterly powerless to resist as he took the blow square-on.

"Sister Shadow Moon, please wait a moment! Shizuka will be ready right away!" She hurriedly packed a large pile of clothes and desperately pressed down on the lid of the trunk.

In the subsequent two rounds of elimination matches, Ash used the exact same lineup and secured complete victories each time. After all, not every trainer possessed a wretched Machop.

"N—nothing. It's still my fault for taking Yuyan away without telling you, but you'll understand in the future!" Wu Qingcheng finally returned to normal, her gaze toward Wang Xuan once again carrying her usual cold detachment.

"Let me dish you a bowl of rice." Qiu Di followed behind, picking up the rice paddle and a bowl, but was halfway interrupted by a wave of Han Yichen's hand in refusal.

At that moment, Pimotai walked over, not wearing a military uniform, but dressed quite casually.

This was far from enough to satisfy Chang'an City, but most factions would probably build forging rooms within their own faction territories.

This was the island nation of Yamato, the only Asian country that had not compromised with China. Every city on the ground had already been baptized by artillery fire into ruins. As for underworld organizations like the Yamaguchi-gumi, what could they possibly accomplish amidst such a war between nations?

"Sorry, my English isn't very good. If you don't know, go find Feng Yichen." Han Yichen's voice remained flat and colorless. After replying to Bailu, he picked up his stool and sat right beside Tang Kexin.

However, cultivating the soul—how could it be such a simple matter? The conventional path dictated that one only began formally cultivating the soul upon reaching the half-step Mysterious Martial Realm, and naturally, there was good reason for that.
