Volume One, Chapter 28: I Bet Xu Que Is Doomed to Fail This Time

Jiang Xu felt an overwhelming sense of security; the destructive power of this arrow was such that an ordinary person would be rendered combat-ineffective the moment they were struck.

As his mother used to say, when you are most relaxed, thinking of nothing, and truly enjoying the present, that is when you are at your absolute best.

With the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would likely take less than an hour to find five stalks of Clear Wind Grass.

The Emperor bestowed upon Shen Wan a set of magnificent head ornaments, a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets, a casket of Oriental pearls, four bolts of cloud brocade, and four bolts of Shu brocade.

Now that the show he came to see was over and his mind was clear, it was only natural to begin preparing for the real business at hand.

Not until the man stormed out, slamming the door, did Jiang Yin remain seated on the bed, ruminating over those words as if she had not fully understood them.

"Damn it!" Lucian's face turned pale; he realized this was the "parting gift" the wizard Heli had left for him.

After slaying Cao Chengxin, Jiang Xu had accidentally achieved a massive breakthrough. This improvement left him incredibly excited and eager to test his new limits.

The weather today was sweltering, with temperatures reaching 38 degrees. Even after drinking iced water, Chong Yu still felt stifled and uncomfortable.

Li Yang set the guidelines: the Tier 2 spirit rice would be used for gifting and exchanging with official bodies, while the production of Tier 1 spirit rice was too low and would be reserved exclusively for his own cultivation.

After ascending the city walls, the soldiers saw that the city remained empty, with no sign of the Great Dian Kingdom’s garrison on the streets.

Amidst the brick and stone ruins, Li Jinglong lay with blood spilling from his nose and mouth, his arm broken, and the magical array collapsed along with the shattered earth.

"You are raising the price on the spot, and the problem is, you're doing it on my Sun family's land," Sun Wu said, feigning anger. He hoped Ma Chao would make concessions out of respect for the Sun family. If he agreed to the same ratio as Ye Zifeng, it would save millions; no one would turn away from that kind of money.

Moreover, since Xu Yang hadn't reported news of the sacred relic for several days, Huo Aiyi naturally categorized him as one of those Han Chinese who were only good at lying and incapable of getting things done.

Just this once, even though Ren Woxing poured a full pot of wine over his head, he still could not be awakened.

Zhu Youxiao chatted politely with the shopkeeper about the pros and cons of the candles before buying out the entire store's inventory, claiming he wanted to go home and test their quality.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan did not hesitate to activate the Essence Gathering Talisman in his hand. Suddenly, an indescribable, profound, and ethereal aura surged into his body through every pore.

After a moment of shock, the captain of the guards was still unwilling to accept reality. Gazing at the Prime Minister of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom tied to the wooden pillar, he clung to the delusion that as long as he held the Prime Minister, Qin Meiniang would not dare to launch a rash attack, even if she arrived at the city.

She had never imagined that one day she would be able to use her knowledge and the methods she had mastered to teach others, sharing her passion for music with children who loved it just as much as she did.

After breakfast, Li Jinglong didn't return home but instead turned into an alley with Hongjun, arriving at the door of a house. They knocked and entered; it was the Chen household, which Hongjun had already visited twice.

Time ticked away, and finally, a loud boom erupted in the arena, followed by the complete cessation of the tremors that had shaken the ground.

"You're here!" Luo Chen walked toward "her" with hurried steps, his peach-blossom eyes shimmering with faint, splintered light.

After cleaning up and changing clothes, the group gathered for breakfast. Everything seemed warm and harmonious, yet Qiye knew that after today, he would have to go to Sona's world.

"The rumors in the entertainment industry are true—Lin Feng is a guarantee of ratings!" the station director said with a chuckle.

"A sword not inferior to the Captain-Commander's Zanpakuto! How is that possible? The Captain-Commander's blade is known as the strongest fire-type Zanpakuto. How could Byakuya possess a sword that doesn't lose to his!?" Sojiro stared at Toshiro in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Xia Dongqing was soft-hearted by nature, and since he believed Tang San wouldn't harm him, he placed the candy into his mouth.

"So, goodnight, Iris." Qiye smiled softly and tapped Irisviel’s brow with his finger, using a touch of chakra to lull her to sleep. The exhausted Irisviel drifted off once more.

The Pangu Sky-Splitting Axe was one of the primary culprits in destroying the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao; this divine artifact was inherently capable of shattering it. Although the axe was gone, its fragments, when combined, still possessed similar power. Any force the Heavenly Dao’s consciousness tried to infiltrate would be annihilated.

Walking out the gate, Tendou Kisara could no longer hold it in. The world of these children was on the verge of destruction, yet she didn't want them to know. This truth weighed on her like a heavy stone—what was wrong with this world? Why was it always filled with crises?

Qiye repeated Kaguya’s words, which carried a majestic authority beneath their childlike tone. His chakra began to surge, concentrating at the peak of intensity in his palm, and with a sudden opening of his eyes, he struck the courtyard with a single blow.

Lu Qinghan did not move, his eyes filled with sorrow as if he were trying to see through the carriage curtain. How were his injuries? How was his body? She told herself she would look for just one moment—just one glance was all she needed.

Using any magic requires one to act according to their capacity. While it is theoretically possible for multiple people to assist in casting a single spell, that remains merely theoretical; the slightest mistake could endanger everyone. But there was no time left to consider such things.

However, the two of them stopped as soon as they reached the main gate, as several familiar figures were walking toward them.

The three of them were quite happy. Although there were only two rooms, the coachman could not let the White Golden Crow sleep with his master, nor could he let his master sleep with the bird. Even though he had to sleep in the living room, he was in high spirits.

Internships are actually quite important. During interviews, HR will ask about your internship experience during school; it is precisely because of this concrete experience that the chances of being hired increase significantly.

What I mean is, after brother Zhuo Wei completed his "suicide mission," the entire entertainment industry was thrown into complete chaos.

After a brief moment of silence, the students of Gryffindor House erupted into thunderous cheers, as if they were going to blow the enchanted ceiling apart. Even the stars above their heads seemed to tremble from the vibration.

Everyone wanted to take his head to exchange for merit, fame, money, and the favor of those in power.

But if one wanted to take it to court, that was another matter; it could take three to five days, or it could take eight to ten years.

To return to the tournament at the Imperial Forest arena: as it concluded, the people of the Tianzhang Kingdom cheered for Qu Wuzhou, but only the Nanli people could not bring themselves to rejoice. It wasn't because of the defeat, but because of the departure. For Miyamoto Jianxiong had said: the day the tournament ended was the day he would leave.
