Rat-tat-tat.

“We agreed that we’d leave without taking credit, hiding our achievements from the world!”

Wang Xu hugged his weapon and crouched behind the stone wall. Feeling the faint tremors running through it and hearing the sharp rush of projectiles overhead, he could not help sighing.

Rat-tat-tat.

“Stop showing off your literary flair, Chao Feng. Did the signal go out?”

Wan Xiaoling crouched down, ignoring the blood flowing from her shoulder as she swiftly replaced the magazine in her weapon. Her gaze shifted toward Cong Xuefei.

“The emergency distress signal has been sent. Hang on a little longer.”

Crimson Hound, Yellow Ape, Azure Pheasant—by now, nearly every high-ranking officer in the navy had come from under his tutelage. Vlad’s father was no exception.

There was no way to stop them. His tears simply would not stop, pouring down like a burst dam.

The instructor clearly understood what had happened. He put an arm around the beaten soldier, and the two of them walked toward the edge of the training ground.

Lu Ping froze. That voice belonged to Lu Xing’er. Could it be that he was all right? He hurried outside and, sure enough, saw Lu Xing’er standing there, wrapped up from head to toe.

Without a doubt, every plan involving spirit contracts for boys had failed. Even the test subjects who had survived by sheer luck were nothing more than disposable, single-use tools.

The group chatted and joked as they walked, and before they knew it, they had ventured more than ten miles into the mountains. Although they had encountered no fierce beasts along the way, they had still made quite a haul. With noon approaching, everyone was beginning to feel hungry.

The clone decisively dispatched the Guardian Bone Demon, while also informing Hu Ximei of the Fox Odd Sect to go and provide support.

“Otherwise, she was perfectly fine this morning. Why did she become so vicious toward her after seeing the Buddha’s Son?”

Holding a demon fruit, Mister Paso began his work. He seemed terribly impatient, casually placing the fruit into a bizarre-looking machine before him.

His cold eyes turned toward Loki. Sensing the powerful fluctuations of magic, Loki appeared somewhat intimidated.

Sun Yumin did not care what had earned them such a fortune. Instead, Foolish Bear and the others could no longer hold back and began shouting curses at Wu Linsheng.

It had to be said that the Empress’s recovery was astonishing. In that brief span of time, she had already regained some of her strength. She calmly climbed down from the interrogation table and stood barefoot on the floor.

“You know that wasn’t what I meant. You’re changing the subject!” Mu Nianxue glared angrily.

Other people had marriages arranged by their parents and matchmakers. Fine, even if you no longer had parents, you still needed a matchmaker, didn’t you? Who ever proposed to someone on their own behalf?

Xiao Chu was just about to speak when he suddenly remembered something. A moment ago, he had been worrying about Zhang Xin’s lack of performance experience. Wasn’t there already a ready-made teacher standing right in front of him?

The two pale-faced old men ignored Lord Jin’s questioning and continued with their respective actions.

Amid the churning smoke, a scream suddenly rang out, only to stop abruptly afterward, as though someone had clamped a hand around the victim’s throat.

Then Qian Yurou and Wu Xianyun each clung tightly to one of Chu Jiangqiu’s arms, one on either side, leaning half their bodies against him.

Although no one yet knew whether his words were true or what they meant, their emotions were no longer as agitated as before.

“Heh heh. Have you ever considered what will happen once the Daoist school flourishes?” Yang Gaige saw that Zhang Xianyong was perfectly normal and realized that the thing in question was also fine. Relieved, he did not ask about it directly, but instead turned to another matter.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone affected during the refinement of an elixir, causing the power of heaven and earth to diminish.

As for Tang Yi, there was even less to say. His astonishing achievement of obtaining forty-three fifth-level demon-beast crystals made him extraordinarily dazzling in this year’s academy entrance examination—so dazzling that others could hardly believe it.

Seeing that both contestants were One-Star Saint Spirits and that each had already won a match, the gamblers in the betting house found themselves at a loss. No one knew how to place their bets.

Now that the representative of the Divine Wind Grand Duchy had spoken as well, what had happened was self-evident.
