Chapter 59 What is the Use of Reading?

Ignoring the clamor of the villagers behind her, Feng Ruqing walked straight toward the village, closely followed by Lu Zijin, whose eyes held a hint of worry.

Passing through a few muddy alleys, they arrived before a courtyard built of stone and wood. The courtyard gate was tightly shut, with a crooked wooden sign hanging upon it bearing the inscription "Zhou Residence."

"Knock, knock, knock—" Lu Zijin stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard gate.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a fierce and ruthless face opened the door. It was none other than Village Chief Zhou.

I felt as though I were a piece of ice melting in hot water! I completely abandoned any pretense of resistance.

As for why it wasn't the head, the reason was simple: a shot to the head would only be counted as hitting a critical area, resulting in mere double damage. The neck, however, was a different story—continuous blood loss often led to instant fatality.

Seeing that he was still not taking the bait, Yoona blinked repeatedly at her sisters. Taeyeon and the others swarmed forward, enveloping him tightly from all sides.

To tell them at this moment that I did not wish to go to Dasilima would be equivalent to pushing them into a state of utter despair. Yet, offering constant evasions was not a long-term solution either. We simply sat facing one another in the living room in silence. I believe they must have understood my thoughts very clearly by now, for sometimes silence itself is a language.

According to the records of the Tianyuan Divine Court, larger universes possess a richer foundation of origin, and consequently, the rewards bestowed are naturally greater.

Wei Shengjin chattered away in gibberish, arguing back and forth before finally managing to explain to them that this was merely a portrait.

As I spoke, I pulled a thick stack of renminbi out from my cross-body bag—a full ten thousand yuan—and flashed it right before the three old folks' eyes! Before setting out, each of the three of us had brought tens of thousands in cash to prepare for any unexpected needs.

To be honest, I was scared out of my wits at that moment, standing frozen in a daze at the podium, completely forgetting to begin my presentation.

Yet, remembering that he was a strength-type supernatural being, and that pounding the desk could easily smash it to pieces, he forcefully swallowed back that impulse.

After all, Huang Yunxiang was already measuring Ye Feng against the standards of a genius of the Tianyuan Divine Court.

Gus rapidly condensed a spherical ball of energy in the palm of his right hand. The sphere grew progressively larger, soon enveloping his entire hand. Throughout this process, it underwent repeated refinement and compression, resulting in what Huo Changsheng ultimately beheld: a terrifying orb of energy capable of annihilating everything in existence.

Never had he imagined that even after coming all this way, facing imminent death, this fellow would still remain so stubborn and keep uttering such aggressive words. How could this not infuriate Doge Jiro?

Not only him, but the other superheroes had also learned some Chinese to varying degrees—thanks to the prevalence of the Three Kingdoms martial arts, the Chinese language had effectively become the lingua franca of superheroes.

Honda Junsei was choked back twice, leading him to conclude that the fellow opposite him was nothing more than an unrefined brute, an ill-mannered peasant.

Opening the package, the first thing that met the eye was a blank nameplate. Upon seeing it, Xuanyue knew this was an anonymous nameplate used for transaction transfers. Accompanying the nameplate was a letter.

A peerless beauty clad in white appeared at the entrance of the graveyard. As she gazed at Ye Yu's eyes, a trace of lingering attachment flickered within them. It was none other than the lady in white, whom Ye Yu had rescued two tens of millions of years ago. In that battle, Ye Yu had single-handedly stormed the Heaven-Rending Dynasty of the Heaven-Rending Crown Prince, flying into a rage for a beauty and astounding the entire world.

Although Su Shan was able to control his speed, that control amounted to little more than executing a general movement. As for precisely controlling every single part of his body, he lacked the strength to do so at present; thus, his two claw-like hands heavily gouged into the stone pillar.

Taking into consideration the primeval terrain of the Hanzhong Basin, Kong Wang had deployed active magical volcanoes along the Qinling Mountains line, waiting only for Huo Changsheng's arrival to trigger their eruption.

A qualified master craftsman, faced with a project of such peerless magnitude, needed to weigh numerous factors and could never simply make rash promises.

"Oh my, nothing is settled yet, look at you all," Ye Xinyu feigned modesty with a hypocritical air, her high spirits prompting Mi Taotaoh to distribute the pastries she had brought to everyone.

Actually, even without being told, Ye Shu knew that Eur琳琳 must have given him her spare key, otherwise there was no way he could have gotten inside.

After being kicked by Ye Xinyu, Mi Taotao dared not speak her anger, her fingers toying with her mobile phone as a somewhat complex expression crossed her face.

The bio-dragon Duyang, hailing from the troposphere of the high skies, headed straight north following the direction indicated by Kewe, and arrived in the vicinity of Hou Longlin.

"The Dao has three thousand great paths. All things flourish, yet each returns to its root. I suppose you care far too much about external things, and consequently have lost sight of your true self," said Qianye.

He had remained silent the entire time. Such treatment must have dealt a heavy blow to him... Yet I had suppressed my feelings for far too long.

Liyou reached into his sleeve, and an object materialized in his hand. Holding it with utmost caution, Liyou kept his eyes fixed unwaveringly on the item in his palm.

Shortly after the orcs launched their offensive, urgent distress reports came from the defense line, but Gu Seng, who had kept Bone-Claw Eagle monitoring the frontline all along, was well aware that this was merely underhand trickery orchestrated by the Empire.

A surge of excited emotion welled up instantly in his eyes. I rarely saw him look like this; he must have been overjoyed.

Throughout the entire valley, the only ones who felt no shock or disbelief were Zeng Pangsan and his companions, for Ye Tianchen had already informed them of this beforehand.

As soon as Meichao Feng finished speaking, her graceful body leaped into the air. Transforming her hands into claws, two crystalline and rounded claws faintly manifested the illusory image of bone talons.

Dai Yulong, standing beside Wu Shisan, couldn't help swallowing hard upon the appearance of this Sector B boss. Fear gripped his heart because this boss possessed formidable strength.

After all, throughout the centuries of rivalry between the Holy Academy and the Imperial College, neither side had ever surrendered before a battle even began. If he were truly to do so, he would undoubtedly become the laughingstock of countless generations to come.

Never in his wildest dreams had he expected to encounter such a demonic entity in these barren wildernesses—a monster that had twice dissolved his supreme divine art, [Great Sun Universe Formula].
