Chapter 96: The Examination Level

You really are quick-witted and sharp-tongued. Ye Changfeng smiled faintly, showing not the slightest displeasure.

Kuman Zhu understood this capability from knowing the formula: it was the most precious and central gene set of the super-soldier, the Tyrant Lizard gene.

Lei Sheng said with a half-smile, “Since you want to hear it, I’ll tell you. First, I wiped out the Ding clan’s gang and the bandit stronghold on Bandit Mountain, then framed the Ran clan and the Guang clan, provoking the Ding clan to make trouble.

It did feel satisfying. The grudge is real now. In truth, Chen Xi’s family had some backing, but if he had to ask his family to step in and bully a classmate in a fight, he couldn’t afford that kind of shame. Besides, he had been the one to bring it on himself, so afterward Ye Zheng paid a bit of medical compensation and that was the end of it.

You have to know, even ordinary disciples like Ye Jin, who do all sorts of odd jobs for the family’s medicinal herb garden, only earn fifty contribution points a month. Wanting to exchange for a yellow-ranked martial art? They do not even have the slightest chance.

He stabbed himself right in the heart this time... That really did hit where it hurt. The dragon race played dirty in a way that was almost indecent, and that shameless move left Guanghuan Electronics rather dazed.

“Let’s change the number of dice next. If we keep using three dice, I’m afraid we’ll go on drawing forever.” Xu Sanshi had lost more than ten million gold, yet it did not seem to bother him in the least, as though the money did not belong to him.

Just now, when Kun Xuaner was recounting the battle to him, she had deliberately left out the presence of the Empyrean Water-Control Tower, that imperial weapon. Any decent person understood that an innocent man could still suffer for possessing a treasure.

“Has there ever been an outsider, a man, living in this village? A rather tall one?” Mu Qiu stepped forward to ask.

In the end, humans are only living beings. The first law of life is survival, and before survival, all that talk of gentlemanly conduct is nonsense.

Land on the sea became a scarce resource. Across all races, whether from the deep sea or the outer seas, every sea beast began to scramble for territory above the water. It was precisely because land at sea was so scarce that so many sea beasts attacked the sea cities.

After saying this, Ye Haoran walked straight into the inn. When Fan Jingyu heard Ye Haoran’s voice transmission, she was startled for an instant. Then she looked at his retreating figure, gritted her teeth, and followed him inside.

Then Feng Shisanlang began to recall some of the happier moments since arriving in this world of demon warfare. In particular, the scenes of him secretly kissing Beitang Piaoxue and Gong Lingyuan flashed through his mind again and again. Yet in the end, the killing intent in his heart still stubbornly lingered there.

The thunder of punishment seemed as though it had been summoned from a far-distant stretch of time and space; it was by no means something this continent should possess.

Yet Wang Lang could not even be bothered to lift his head, and simply went on quietly dismantling and reassembling his firearms. That only made Han Yang, who had struck at empty cotton, change expression once more.

Beside him, Zhen Jiuling’s face flickered with disbelief, but she too released her flying-sword spirit without hesitation and slashed toward the fireballs.

The two spiritual envoys exchanged a glance. Though their faces were full of fury, even more than that there was fear and unease. They shot a fierce glare at the black-collared, white-robed man ahead of them, offered no greeting to the others, and drove their staffs through the water barrier, heading off on their own toward the southwest.

Feng Huaxueye stood there without speaking, silently channeling the energies of metal, water, and fire into the Six-Spirit Samsara Eyes, hoping to see through the origin of An Yue Miao Qing. Of course, if he could also see the body beneath her energy garment, that would be even better.

A fantasy formation had been laid here, and the Spring Ghost was imprisoned within it. Using his Yin Eyes, Lin Fei could see lonely souls drifting in every direction, cold and eerie, ghastly and terrifying.

“Chief Instructor!”
“Captain!”
Seeing this, Gouyan and the others were likewise enraged, and hurriedly ran toward Wang Lang.

I traveled south all the way and, by some twist of fate, ended up at Forgetful River Sea, where evil monsters were raging. He too had pursued me all the way there.

Especially at this moment, the instant the other side made a move, Ye Fan clearly sensed the disturbance of spiritual power in the surrounding heavens and earth. And when that palm finally appeared, a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart.

“Dead?” I swallowed hard, clearly seeing that Han Ren’s health bar had already emptied.

“You stay here first. I’ll be back in a moment.” Mo Ye turned around and softly whispered into Qin Lan’s ear. Qin Lan seemed not to hear him, not even lifting her brows. Mo Ye sighed inwardly with some desolation, drew her in affectionately, kissed her cheek, and then strode into the woods without looking back.

This man, whose name was Jumang, though outwardly quite respectful to Emperor Jun, always revealed a certain coldness in his demeanor. In truth, the very fact that he addressed Emperor Jun as the Heavenly Emperor rather than, like Ying Zhao, as the Emperor Lord, was enough to show how subtle their relationship was.

Since things have been said this far, if he were to insist that she stay, wouldn’t it only be awkward?

Jiangnan Xiaoshi, this archer girl, was very ordinary. Her mechanics were not especially high, but relying on the top-tier skills and equipment I had forged for her, I believed that even if she could not become a first-rate archer, she could still count as a second-rate expert.

Whether the Duchess had truly not eaten or was merely pretending not to have eaten, in any case, those words put Dong E Miaoyi at ease.

The way of an official is this: when a serious problem arises, the first thing to do is report it immediately. Perhaps even after reporting it, punishment may still come, but the consequences of failing to report it are certainly beyond what you can bear. Zhou Tai was no fool either; that very day he sent a man in urgent relay to Youzhou, asking Adviser Tian to dispatch reinforcements at once.

Jiang Zixi kissed his wife’s face, his hands locked around her waist, and entered her little by little from behind.

“Go, go, move aside. We’re in the middle of a match—listen to the coach!” Liu Xu shooed Bi Yao away. The coach, holding a tactics board, looked at me with some surprise and, after holding it in for three seconds, finally managed to say a single sentence.

But I did not know how to play. After swinging a few times, I still failed to hit the sweet spot, and the ball flew only a short distance. It seemed I had no talent for this. Just as I was about to give up, Bi Yao and Yan Mobai came walking over hand in hand. When I saw Bi Yao, perhaps because I felt guilty, my gaze could not help drifting away a little.

“Master, there is the scent of a living person over there.” Lan Luwei sniffed the air and pointed in a direction.
