Chapter 40: Leveling Up

The agent beside Patrick grabbed the mentally unstable man and asked in surprise.

On the stage, the two combatants ignored the chatter from the crowd, both being perfectly clear about the grievances between them. As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, they clashed like sworn enemies. Sword shadows and staff strikes whistled as they intertwined, producing an incessant clanging sound.

There were also the Great Peng and the Peacock, those peerless powerhouses who once dominated the world, who had vanished from the Three Realms and never appeared again. The God-Slaying Spear, a weapon of heaven and earth, also disappeared along with its third master, the Great Peng, and had not been seen since.

The boy’s expression suddenly turned agitated; he raised his hand that wasn't being stepped on, trying to snatch back the jade.

We left the Heavenly Tower and returned to the City of Slaughter with the White Emperor. First, we met up with Cang Du and the others to tell them about the Asura Heavenly Tower. Their reaction was muted; they all knew of Asura’s existence, but the terror of the Asura Heavenly Tower was simply beyond imagination.

"Let me think, where should I start eating you?" Su Yusheng mused, looking thoughtful.

"…What exactly are you all looking at?" Blake turned his head to look at Ray and the others, who had been staring at him for dozens of minutes, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

This place was completely different from the previous two! It was a massive cavern; the floor was densely packed with all kinds of swords! In the center of the cavern stood a huge furnace, from which billowing hot steam was rising!

Moreover, the power boost that Ray and the others felt was merely the lingering effect of the War Fragments. If just the remnants could have such an impact, how much would they improve if they truly merged with the fragments?

"Bang! Bang! Bang..." Thousands of ice-blue energy needles exploded the moment they touched the white energy wall. The shattered ice-blue energy mixed with the blasted white energy, scattering across the sky and earth, shimmering with a brilliance that was unexpectedly beautiful.

However, those factions were very far away. His father was only a master at the Great Completion stage of the Immortal Returning realm, which was considered a second-rate force in this family's territory.

As we spoke, the bell rang for the end of class. The entire campus immediately erupted into chaos as students from every classroom swarmed out. By the time most people had left, Li Wei and I returned to the classroom, intending to rest and wait for Da Zhuang.

Looking at the coldness on this man’s face, then recalling the rampant tone of Wang Lei’s voice over the phone earlier, as well as Li Wei’s tragic screams, my heart tightened.

After all, no matter who it was, upon hearing Lu Yu say that his father had established a massive power thousands of years ago, the first reaction would be that Lu Yu's father was incredibly powerful, and the second would be to wonder just how old Lu Yu really was.

Director Yan was furious, and it seemed Mayor Wu was as well. When the two of them got angry, the entire city of Qianzhou would tremble. Deng Yisong did not dare to delay and immediately drove toward the branch office.

There was nothing special about the way the figure in white walked, yet she possessed a grace that made her seem like a spirit of the wind, a beauty that no words in the world could describe.

"Brother! Then I shall proceed according to the plan to the moon to guard the husk of the Ten-Tails; I leave the affairs of the earth to you." For the sake of the hard-won results, Otsutsuki Hamura took the responsibility upon himself. "The Moon" was the name the brothers had given to the celestial body they had fashioned with their own hands.

They sat on the living room sofa, the events of the past few days flashing through their minds one by one; everything felt incredibly unreal.

Compared to when he first met them, when he could only control one-tenth of the lightning, his mastery over energy had transformed by more than two realms.

His brain analyzed the data again and again, and Ling Zhoutian did not stop for a moment, receiving the sensations transmitted by the sub-biological nucleus with every swallow of energy.

There were many benefits to expanding the land; not only that, they could also acquire supplies from villages, and even rare survivors.

Just then, a cloud drifted across the sky, its shadow casting directly onto the top of the tower, enveloping the small area in a faint gloom. Ye Hua’s heart stirred, knowing this was his chance! He activated "Shadow Walk" and charged through the darkness toward the Ice Monkey.

Thus, while Helian Chengyu looked inconspicuous as he ran across the palace rooftops, in reality, he was extremely conspicuous. As for the guards, each of them wore a strange and excited smile.

"Boss, you can really rest assured. We have at least 120 laser weapons on hand, and we can build plenty more inside the spaceship," the Black man said again.

Throughout the entire experiment, Ling Zhoutian did not show his face, simply keeping them locked inside the airtight rejuvenation chambers.

It seems it really is a time of talent scarcity. Government officials have all gone to Qinghai. Authority is truly being devolved now. No matter how the bases below are in turmoil, they can remain so calm.

"Main God? What is a Main God?" Yan San was stunned, scanning the opposite side with a puzzled expression.

Antark nodded. He was not a servant known for his wisdom, and he obeyed his master’s orders absolutely, without pondering the deeper meaning of Tang Ze’s words.

Wei Feng’s tone was unquestionable; he could see that if Lida continued to wear these soaked clothes, she would surely fall ill.

"Are you suggesting I leave her with the enemy who killed her father and wiped out her clan, living a life worse than death every day?" Lian asked with a sneer.

In fact, through his previous investigations, he already knew that Ghost Hand was one of the confidants of Ling Fei, the second young master of the Ling family. If Ling Fei found out he possessed such extraordinary abilities, he would likely face endless trouble in the future.

"Snap!" Fortunately, he was experienced and did not press his eye against the observation lens; otherwise, the sheer impact of the periscope being hit might have instantly squeezed his eyeball out.

Nan Chengyao didn't say much more, nimbly jumping onto the horse’s back, pulling me into his arms, and galloping away.
