"Then let's do it this way: if I lose, I'll give you one hundred million; if you lose, I want to return the kick you just gave me. And to prevent you from deceiving others and showing off again, I'll sever the tendons in your hands and feet. How about that?" Yu Hui proposed.

"This jade is the finest quality; how could there be so much of it?" Jiang Xuan glanced at Ye Bai, thinking to himself that he truly lacked discernment.

"Your brother is addicted to playing cards and loves eating; he behaves like that all year round. To be honest, a large part of why I'm in this state today is because your brother is irresponsible, you know." Ai Hua spoke as tears began to fall.

Sun Wukong imitated Xue Ling’s posture, crossing his arms and stepping on Tulage’s shoulders, leaning against Tulage’s neck, his eyes fixed intently on Heichrome, occasionally glancing at Xue Ling. Heichrome felt slightly moved and nodded gently.

Li Ren and Li Xin exchanged glances and kowtowed three times to their master in this life. Master Kuang chuckled and then soared into the sky. Only then did Li Ren and Li Xin realize their master was a celestial being. They prostrated themselves wholeheartedly, bowing sincerely in the direction their master had floated away.

"We are not just talking about the two of us; many others in this world have gone as well," Long Zu Hai said as he rose to scoop rice from the stove.

Faced with Pu Baiwan’s scolding, Zhang Hu responded with a smile, seeing that the time was nearly up. Zhang Hu then issued a second command to the catapult behind him, and this time an even louder "boom" sounded as larger stones flew toward the walls of the Pu estate.

The exam ended; it was already six in the afternoon, yet the sun stubbornly remained in the western sky.

Both of them had only used physical strength, not internal energy, so they did not create much noise.

"Why are you out here? It’s dangerous; go back immediately." Just as Lang Hongxiang was awakened by Min, a voice filled with concern and kindness sounded in his ear as he nervously looked up at the Wolf King and the Sky Tiger King above.

Lian Yunfei glanced faintly at the burly man and said nothing. This man was the Kou family’s strongest, the primordial spirit ancestor, General Kou, whose combat power ranked second only to Lian Yunfei in the Lianyu Mountain Range.

Moreover, the sounds grew louder and more numerous, as if something had been freed from its icy prison. Yun Tian and Murong Yun tensed completely, their faces drawn tight as they stared deep inside, understanding that something extraordinary was about to emerge.

Dongfang Xuan had not expected Luo Haoming to be so calm this time. He felt a violent surge of blood and energy in his chest, as if it were about to burst.

Wang Yong furrowed his brows more deeply. Yes, he was involved with An Ran, but what did that have to do with anyone else?

Unfortunately, Cai Chen could not explain because even he did not understand why he just knew. He was unclear when he had learned teleportation himself.

However, as time went on, Su Luo’s movements became increasingly difficult due to the hordes of zombies surrounding them on all sides. Though these zombies moved mechanically, their sheer numbers made their combined force terrifying.

"But..." Han Li opened his mouth to speak, but could not find any reason to persuade.

Midway, Lin Feng unleashed a soul attack with the Netherworld Flame, and the already struggling Liang Yuan instantly collapsed. As the magical protective shield shattered, Lin Feng’s vast Nine Heavens Purple Flame surged in. Liang Yuan, utterly defenseless, was consumed by the Nine Heavens Purple Flame.

Neither of the two were fools; heavy thoughts stirred within them. But upon hearing footsteps, likely Madam Zheng’s return, they tacitly fell silent and continued eating and drinking.

"Unless this gentle soul has not reached the Heavenly Extremity Realm!" the old thief Qinghe thought, suddenly enlightened. He pondered carefully and agreed since he was still young. No matter how much he experienced in half a year, he could not leap directly from an ordinary person to the Heavenly Extremity Realm.

The assassin’s realm was limited. After about two hours, he roughly mastered the True Martial Sword Technique, awakening from this strange realization.

Speaking thus, Zhang Hao swiftly opened the spatial portal to the fourth floor of the Tower to Heaven. Roars of strange beasts poured out wildly. Many ancient spirit beasts unknown even to bat demons and centipedes radiated formidable auras, causing both men to be momentarily stunned.

Although ordinary lizardmen were somewhat slower than Professor Lizard, this was only relative.

A Chou tested attacking Yi Yan over thirty times and found Yi Yan could easily block each strike. From the brilliance on Yi Yan’s shield, it was clear he always held back to defend, which made A Chou increasingly admire this seemingly careless yet meticulous man.

Yang Ning saw Zhang Hao listen to his words, only praising briefly before changing the subject. Feeling slightly disappointed, Yang Ning, newly joined to the Red Dust Sword Sect, knew better than to appear overly impatient. He patiently watched the map in Zhang Hao’s hands alongside the other cultivators.

Completely, turning the passive into the active, if Ling Yun intended to absorb deliberately, it would be even more domineering and fierce, absorbing as much as his dantian could hold.

As he spoke, his emotions deepened, his expression sincere. Finally, unable to hold back, he bowed his head, tears streaming as he sobbed, holding Situ Shi tightly.

At that moment, the sound of a smoke bomb came from the other side—apparently Ouyang Chun had finally contacted Fan Lei, or Fan Lei had thought of something himself. But the bomb flew over without exploding and failed to disperse the thick fog.

"Second Master, these matters are our duty, please rest assured!" Steward Hou accepted the ingot respectfully.

Galejin was already in a deep coma, so anesthesia was skipped and surgery could begin immediately. Of course, anesthesia was still used to prevent him from waking during the operation.

Moreover, Yu Huang’s words moved him deeply—establishing a force solely dedicated to the Holy Spirit and nurturing it was a great cause. He had no reason to refuse and must offer assistance.
