Volume 1, Chapter 45: A Grand Swordsmaster

The next day.

As the morning light first broke, a ray of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, scattering mottled spots of light upon the ground.

Yao Xi sat cross-legged in the center of the tent, absorbing the spirit ring of the golden giant bird.

"It will likely take some time for Miss Yao to absorb the spirit ring. Leave three people here to guard her, and the rest follow me out to hunt spirit beasts!"

After giving his instructions, Elder Mu left behind three members of the Mu family and led the others away.

...

Three days later.
Inside the tent.

A crisp sound of ice cracking rang out, startling the three Mu family disciples guarding Yao Xi.

Yao Xi had successfully absorbed her third spirit ring, officially becoming a Grand Swordsman.

"She's awake... It looks like she's awake." An astonished voice reached Yao Xi's ears.

Currently, the most important matter was the reorganization of the Zenda Council; Stephen simply did not have the energy to resettle so many people.

The human race was extremely complex, having produced the most despicable, cruel, and evil villains, yet also the most noble, great, and kind heroes.

Although Su Han knew he would not say anything pleasant, she never expected him to utter such foolish words, leaving her somewhat amused and exasperated.

When the wheel of light finally stopped, there were only a sparse few words remaining upon it, and one of them was Wang Yue.

When Gao Ming saw this WeChat message, he didn't understand it at all at first. Once he comprehended it, he was deeply startled, and then his heart ached fiercely.

"Hehe, wouldn't a guy like Fang Yichen sell for a very high price?" Anna turned and asked instead.

Once the plane crashed, they would have no further chance of catching up. Ye Zeming knew that only one last method remained.

Despite most of the rogue cultivators on Mount Wuyi being at the Profound Immortal realm, numbering around five or six hundred, against Yu Shifei, they probably wouldn't even be enough between her teeth.

Fractures began to spread, with bright black radiance covering the surface of the cocoon shell, leaking a dark yet dazzling glow from the crevices.

A check for ten thousand spirit stones, along with promised policy favors, and finally a victory promise that sounded unmistakably like a hint at a rigged operation.

Ye Sheng had long since experienced his ability to talk off the cuff, but he also knew that Ning Weichen was "paving the way" for him.

Gu Xu gave Jia Fanzhen a blank stare. Yesterday she still had some favorable impression of her, but today why did she feel so annoying.

Fifty Eight Banner soldiers began to raise their rifles and take aim, ready to fire the moment they entered range.

Just as he stepped through the door, Jiang Xingjian saw Song Wan looking relieved of a burden. Before he could savor her anticipation of his arrival, Lin Jiayue rushed over.

The force within his body could no longer be suppressed; once unleashed, its power would be sufficient to level this northern territory.

She had previously been organizing the questions Gu Xu couldn't solve along with some difficult points, originally intending to use them for Gu Xu's review and summary.

Everyone's task was simply to eat, drink, and deliberately talk about catching swamp eels and loaches. Such things could be made up on the spot; since they originally came from the countryside, they could just describe some past rural settings and fabricate a plot about catching eels and loaches.

Luo Yan brought Zhao Qian to the hotel where Luo Cheng and the others were staying. After more than thirteen years apart, they finally met again.

Lu Jing's eyes gleamed with brilliance as he grew happy. All his morning anger vanished, and he nodded with a smile, "That's great. Without the threat of [Death], these two cages today will definitely be opened by him and Lei Wei."

Fiercely embroiled in a brawl, the substitute players on the sidelines also rushed onto the court; some joined the fray, while others remained level-headed and hurried to pull the people apart.

Mingyue said that a very, very long time ago, back when she was still an ordinary person, she was simply born blind.

I was very puzzled why, after taking my pulse and inquiring about my experiences, A Shu became so "excited."

Ming Zhuozhao, however, caught the underlying meaning. To use this incident to suppress the foreign patrons, the matter had to be blown wide open. Relying on Tang Lou alone was not enough; his subordinates were also important chips, and one must never soften their heart and let them go.

Seeing Kaihaote in a daze, Xue Gao assumed he had been frightened. Having witnessed his master's might, Xue Gao understood Kaihaote, as his master truly possessed terrifying power.

Neither Mark nor Velas uttered a sound despite the excruciating pain beyond ordinary endurance. They silently watched as Suha, with a pale face, inched the blade into his own chest, biting his lower lip fiercely without a groan.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chong also took a step back. Only then did he clearly see the scene on the front door. The originally brown gate had somehow developed vast patches of black, as if splattered with ink, reflecting a mysterious dark light under the moonlight.

Although the scenery before them was pleasant—with sea breezes, gently rolling waves, swaying trees, and blossoming flowers—the members of the strike team felt an exceptionally heavy weight in their hearts.

However, it was clear he had no intention of growing a large tree out of the soil. Thus, sensing movement within the earth, Zheng Tianhao acted once more to dig out the stone bridge he had just buried.

"Don't be sad. Actually, you did very well." Looking up, he saw Yan Mo sitting in the last row, smiling at him.

Having successfully ambushed, the tiger-patterned chieftain was immensely proud and prepared to press forward, smashing the remaining torso in half at the waist.

This human quantum laboratory had once been the most important laboratory of the Capricorn people. Inside it, Belai I had cloned many celebrity nobles upon Belach's orders. The commander even discovered that clones of Kairuoka and his son, Felconni, Beizun, and others had already been manufactured in the cloning factory.

Just as the two discovered Ning Daoqi, the solitary flatboat beneath him also arrived before the painted boat.

Lin Luoyu's heart was still pounding; that moment ago had truly been a hair's breadth away. Majoring in physics, he naturally understood the kinetic energy generated when a person traveling over one hundred kilometers per hour slammed into an overpass—it was definitely enough to shatter bones or even cause instant death.

Na Bulun and the Netherworld's flying ships slowly rose from the sea of flowers like ascending black islands. They would return to their own territory, establish an information network with us, and together construct the entire Western District.

Since Luo Tianwang had promised Shu Lüpei, he still intended to spend some time preparing properly. A day later, it was time for the courtyard's program selection.

Harry's brows knitted instantly. He should have noticed it long ago; it was just that he didn't want to make me feel awkward.

Reaching the upper level of the prison entrance, he hurried down the ladder without stopping, panting as he knocked open the prison gate and rushed toward the basement. Passing through the heavily sealed and encrypted valves, Belai I finally arrived at the place where Felconni was imprisoned.

As for plotting against them? Ye Gao glanced at Meiqin's board-flat chest and let out a helpless sigh.

With a flash of brilliance from both hands, the Swift Wind Divine Claws appeared in his palms. Flapping his wings, he charged straight toward that high-grade spirit artifact.
