Volume 1, Chapter 22: Starlight Reform: A Valiant Battle Against the Shadow Wolves

Over the past three years, Murong Chen had little time for cultivation; after all, managing a country was no small feat. Nevertheless, he maintained his daily morning exercises, though he shifted his focus to basic sword swings and technique routines, setting aside other physical training.

Standing 1.9 meters tall with a net worth of hundreds of billions, his looks were in no way inferior to professional male models. Yet, despite being such a wealthy and handsome man, Hao Xin had never once looked at him with infatuation.

On the vast lawn, the eerie awkwardness had vanished. The audience’s emotions were unrestrained, and for a time, they chattered away in a chaotic mix. One exciting event followed another, eventually leading to the first-ever interruption of the Life Ranking. Even though they were puzzled, they let their imaginations run wild with speculation.

Perhaps moved by Xi Zhicai’s emotional words, the crowd fell silent, abandoning their idle chatter. Although they had never met the General of the North that Xi Zhicai spoke of, that did not stop them from feeling a sense of gratitude toward him.

Next came the time for rounding up prisoners. Liu Feng did not need to command this personally; his task was to meet with the commander-in-chief of the Wanxiang Kingdom.

"So he really is a dragon?" Cheng Nuo didn't know why, but that was the first question that popped into her head.

However, the Juro Fruit was a low-tier spirit fruit, and since it wasn't native to the area around Miracle City, it was normal not to recognize it.

For now, the top three spots seemed locked in; it remained to be seen if any surprises would emerge on the final day.

Its health points had increased to a staggering one million, and combined with that outrageous defense, it was akin to attacking a mobile fortress.

"Old man... I was busy until midnight, let me get some rest first!" Jiang Qi moved lazily, curled back up, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Mrs. Parsons’ gaze shifted uneasily from Winston to the children and back again. The living room was well-lit, and he was pleased to notice that there was indeed dust in the wrinkles of her face.

"Alright then, if you must go, I’m coming with you!" Shangguan Lingyuan was worried about Long Zhanyan; he found himself increasingly unable to be apart from her.

Ye Wei said that rather than listening to hearsay about others' affairs, it was better to focus on the reality of one's own life.

The school was full of children of high-ranking officials—notorious for being spoiled, yet no one dared to expel them.

This exchange of complex yet simple glances made An Ruo seem to understand something more clearly. Why? An Ruo forcibly looked away. Yes, I should be happy, but another thought emerged, swiftly occupying her mind.

Liu Xie nodded silently. Compared to Pang Tong, his perception was more direct: his connection to the fortune of the Great Han was steadily weakening.

Yuan Shao sneered inwardly, contemplating how he might rebuff the imperial court if this were truly the case.

He opened the screen, looked at the password input field, and tapped his fingers rapidly across it; the password was cracked in an instant.

But after encountering the man, the poisonous buds of hatred grew like weeds, shattering all his reason.

Gu Yun let out a muffled groan, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly accelerated the circulation of the Star Art, attempting to guide the power of the stars. But the power was so immense that it exceeded his control, and the Star Art could only slightly delay the force.

Gu Yun had seen such crystals in ancient texts; they were a high-grade fire-attribute forging material. If a bit of Fire Spirit Stone were added during the forging of a weapon, it would significantly boost its fire-attribute properties.

Her own husband was vomiting blood, yet she didn't even look his way. Si Lang, being ignorant, joined his mother in the chaos, and when Er Lang stepped forward to dissuade them, he was slapped several times.

Xu Miao understood what Dongmei meant. Ouyang Minrui had managed the household for many years; it was impossible that he hadn't left a backup plan. This bag sold well precisely because of her own innovations. Now that Ouyang Minrui’s whereabouts were unknown, if the Ouyang family wanted to continue this business, they would have to see if the current head of the house could even find her.

The desire they had previously harbored to see the Beiyang Fleet make a fool of itself had gradually vanished, sinking into the abyss.

The tomb-guarding dragon corpse’s claws pierced his body, but due to the damage to his nervous system, even as Xian Yue watched his flesh being torn apart, he felt little pain.

Being able to subdue Jiang Potian with one hand meant that Li Wei’s strength could rival his grandfather’s? Indeed, one doesn't act arrogant without reason; Li Wei had the capital to back his arrogance. No wonder his grandfather had recognized him at a glance and made an exception to bring him into the Ye Family Martial Arts School.

Li Junhao held the great Yanyan Kingdom in utter disdain, for among the younger generation, there was not a single powerhouse worth mentioning.

"Is that so? Then get lost and go save the civilians!" Fang Lang flashed forward, suddenly closing in on Green Bull, grabbing him, and tossing him into the distance.

That day, the Earl of Jingyang, Qin Yuanfeng, paid another visit. This was his second visit since the one in May. Xu Miao welcomed him personally; it was only right for a cousin to visit his cousin’s home.

Yang Ling didn't bother Zhao Shiling, simply letting her watch. At this moment, her mind must surely be filled with some beautiful memories.

"Master became like this because those people injected chips into her body. Without those chips, Master wouldn't have such a short life, nor would she have turned into something neither human nor ghost, neither person nor machine."
