Chapter 57: The Right Ear Can Hear Again!

Shi Yi hurriedly changed the subject, not daring to bring up the matter of making Ji Shichu inherit the Shi family again.

"Shichu, when do you plan to mention your hearing? I promise you! Not a soul has told Yaoyao about this! Doesn't that mean you two are even now? We've all kept your hearing a secret from Yaoyao, and we've all kept Yaoyao's acceptance into University A a secret from you. It was all just to give each other a surprise, right, my boy!"

The damned experts couldn't fathom Ling Yun's true strength at all. Seeing that he had practically delivered himself to their doorstep while still talking big, they were arrogant and triumphant, completely failing to take Ling Yun seriously.

In truth, quite a few people currently qualified for the Standing Committee. All the deputy district mayors were eligible, and even some bureau chiefs had a chance. After all, entering the Standing Committee did not necessarily mean serving as the executive deputy district mayor; there was still another position open among the Standing Committee members—namely, the director of the Administrative Committee for the New Pillar Industry Zone.

Yet her temperament was exceedingly stubborn. Once she made up her mind, she rarely changed it. Unyielding to the core and never admitting defeat, she was very much like Gao Jue.

Even though he subjected himself to harder work and much more intense training, the results were still minimal. The growth of his strength was not even visible to the naked eye, while other execution department specialists of the same cohort were gradually catching up to him. This situation caused him a great deal of anguish.

Since he was already certain he could not break through to the next tier, he simply let the mental cultivation method run its course on its own and stopped fixating on it obsessively.

Hoboken was slightly surprised. He had never heard Su express any personal thoughts on how her awakened form was growing increasingly similar to that of the demon race. It turned out that deep down, Su actually felt quite uneasy about this matter.

Levy truly had no idea how to converse with such people, as he was thoroughly tired of meaningless pleasantries. Still, they were acquaintances, and turning around and walking away immediately would be impolite, so he had no choice but to offer a few perfunctory remarks.

"You've already given me a piggyback ride, do you really care about a pat on the back?" Cleia was full of disdain at Lin Feng's gesture of pausing after tapping her shoulder.

Upon entering the Tower of Eternity, Lin Feng reached the top floor, summoned the Primordial Golden Palace, nodded to Su Su, and flashed into the earth realm of the Primordial Golden Palace.

After the two close friends finished their meal together, they headed into the grand hall to attend the annual academy trial results award ceremony.

"Tomorrow, as long as the battle commences, all three thousand of my soldiers will charge out. Those mere five hundred men will definitely be wiped out by me in less than two hours," Zhou Pi said with a ferocious gaze, as if he could already hear the battle cries of conquering cities and the dying screams of the doomed.

At that very moment, the White Wolf King suddenly let out a fierce roar at the two of them, as if it had overheard their conversation. However, the moment its ferocious gaze met the Mysterious King's, it immediately looked away, seemingly not daring to meet his eyes.

Otherwise, millions of elements could never have been controlled by him with such meticulous detail. For mages and sorcerers, most of what they did was merely guidance, and what they truly utilized were merely a few catalysts.

Mallow looked at him suspiciously, but seeing him put away his flippant expression and gaze at her with utmost seriousness, she couldn't help feeling a prickle of unease in her heart. What on earth was this fellow getting at?

Yuan Fou was, after all, made of flesh and blood, not forged steel. Besides, the young master's body of Yuan Fou's was never particularly robust to begin with. Although he had been practicing martial arts under Ji Ling for several months, he had not yet undergone body-tempering, so the improvement in his physical constitution was limited. While practicing martial arts could indeed strengthen the body, it also required time, did it not?

In truth, Liu Qing was never an annoying person; it was simply that Shiyao's guarded heart did not allow her to trust anyone else.

Retracting the giant tail that had attacked Mu Yuyang, the giant ape's eyes were as red as blood, and the pitch-black night had no adverse effect on it whatsoever.

Arthur could easily harvest the energy of both sides and fuse them into the purest synthetic chaos. With his formidable mental strength, merely a dozen seconds later, he had already recovered magic power equivalent to that of an ordinary grand magus level.
