Chapter 24: Skill Upgrading

The Cloud Card, stirred by some impulse, wanted to fly toward Su Heng, but was held back in the embrace of the Rain Card.

Shen Zhou stood there blankly, then suddenly thought of something, his smile widening until it reached the back of his head.

It was so sudden—if she hadn't been able to detect any poison with her nose and palate, she would have suspected the soup was tainted.

Therefore, even after rebirth, Jiang Chen would inevitably return to the peak of his past life; it was merely a matter of time.

Whenever I encounter difficulties, I wish you were by my side. The time we spent together has become the happiest period of my life.

He lay on the bed, his eyes fixed on Qiao An'an as she sat before the vanity combing her hair, a cynical smile playing on his lips.

Perhaps, in the years I spent busy with work, I neglected to care for Yuxi, which caused his longing for his mommy to intensify, thereby affecting his mental state.

Wiping the dense beads of cold sweat from his forehead, Sun Dongxin scanned the partners present and spoke.

After gathering his thoughts, Agent Hill began the task of reporting the mission details.

Once the extraordinary meeting of the Ancient Clan Order Management Committee concluded, the other clan heads successively disconnected from the main hall system of the Court. Several clan heads, belonging to different constellations of the Star Lords, also exchanged greetings with Ying Ming and Li Zhong before departing.

Previously, when he saw Lin Yang practicing the Soul Technique on the Martial Soul Continent, opening the Ren, Chong, and Du meridians in just a few days, and successfully awakening his martial soul upon the convergence of the three, he had felt immense envy and wished he could do the same. He had not expected that he would truly be able to now.

"Geomantic Secret Runes?" Mo Chen frowned and pondered to himself. The term gave him a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but the impression was not very deep.

Hearing Zhen Tao’s question, Jia Sidao’s face turned bitter. Jia Sidao and Tang Tie had been training day and night, but the results were mediocre; refining essence into qi was not that easy.

The Flying Sword entered the sea and launched its attack first, maneuvering with ghostly speed through a barrage of magical treasures and divine abilities, never once getting trapped by the onslaught.

Upon hearing this voice, Su Ping froze, feeling a bit surprised; why did these words sound so grating?

Dozens of streams of light pierced directly through the incoming Shadow Ravens, and even wounded the ones following close behind.

But this time it was slightly different. Leng Wushuang noticed the opponent's arm tremble. Although it was just once and fleeting, it did not escape his eyes. He thought to himself, so he cannot devour at will; absorbing excessively powerful primordial energy during the process also causes damage to the body’s meridians.

At this moment, from the due north, a rider galloped forward. Judging by his direction, it seemed he was also headed for Fengling Ferry—no, he was one of Scipio’s men.

Even Ye Tian himself felt very puzzled, as all these events had concluded in nearly a single day. Looking at his luck value, which remained at 6, he could not believe that such a meager amount could be so heaven-defying.

The color of the soil was actually red, as if they had plunged a shovel into a human body, with bright red blood flowing out.

Everything should have been very covert, but unfortunately, Olvia learned everything by studying that manuscript.

Liang Ziyan vaguely remembered that there were seven colors of Mandara flowers, and each color held a different meaning; could there really be a connection?

"Is this the power of the Wu Clan? Such a powerful physique." Diana looked at her hands in astonishment. She had thought she was going to die, but she did not give up and used all her strength to block with her hands. She succeeded, and even triggered the third-tier genetic lock, which had already been loose.

"How could I renege on a debt? Am I that kind of person?" Olvia was infuriated; she did not know why Qin Luo would humiliate her so much in front of so many people.

"Just reporting to you!" Ji Xiangfan didn't care about her irritable tone at all. He smiled, opened the door, waved at her, and closed the door behind him.

On the naval warship where Qin Luo was stationed, all the sailors believed that "Major Sato" had stepped forward to save the entire ship and the lives of everyone on board, only to be struck directly by a tentacle.

Tang Yihan listened as the sound faded for a long time, then tentatively walked over and saw four empty syringes lying in the box.

Wang Qitian then remembered he had a pack of Chunghwa cigarettes in his pocket, a gift from a friend. He took out the pack, withdrew a cigarette, then pulled a lighter from his pocket, handed the cigarette to the man, and lit it for him.

But at this very moment, the realm formed by that immense primordial energy was telling them a truth.

Humanity once thought it had broken free from the constraints of nature, yet this iron law of nature still tightened its grip around humanity’s throat, even pushing mankind to the brink of extinction.

"Fine, let’s go and take a look." Forcing Xia Chulong to get up, the two walked out of the hospital room in the dark.

"Hmph, I'm afraid that’s not necessarily the case." Just then, Yu Ji’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears once more.

This shout, combined with Wu Liu’s scream and the death of his companions, finally snapped the other assassins back to their senses. They raised their long blades and charged toward Li Wujie, howling.

Though I said it that way, I knew very well in my heart that my relationship with Li Shuiao was no longer merely a nominal one. For some time, the two of us had been deeply intimate. I said that only to avoid dragging him down further. The blood feud for my father from Ye Jihuan and the humiliation from Li Xun—I could handle all of it myself.

Lou Qingsi, however, was frightened by Su Changle’s scream and hurriedly nodded to leave with Su Changyu.

The welcoming banquet was a delight for both host and guest. Although Li Wujie held Gao Xianzhi in contempt, he greatly valued Gao Xianzhi’s capable subordinates, such as Cheng Qianli and Feng Changqing, and thus took every opportunity to build a good relationship with them.

"Enough, enough. I don't want your Heaven and Earth Chess Manual. If you insist on giving it, let that old ghost deliver it to me himself!" the Chess Ghost said impatiently.
