29 Old Friends and Acquaintances

Zhang Mengxi’s eyes and words left Jiang Chengce in hesitation. Although he held some affection for her, it had not yet reached the point where he wished to spend his entire life with her.

"He is the first mortal associated with it; you should all know that." Zhang Liang nodded as well.

The energy it releases in a single second is equivalent to the total energy released by the sun over its entire ten-billion-year life cycle.

With a little over a quarter of an hour left until noon, Shen Yun worried that things might change. He deliberately feigned incompetence, once again driving his flying sword to circle around Ping’an Reef.

Now that he had obtained the honorary title of "Alchemy Master" with Ye Fan's help, he was already deeply satisfied.

Previously, Gu Chen and Jun Hui had been desperate to escape from the Prison Face. Now that they had Yan Yi, they were no longer in a hurry to leave; instead, they began to scheme over that map.

After Jiang Chengce took a shortcut and ran two blocks, Princess Jingzi was so exhausted that she crouched on the ground, gasping for air. She looked completely worn out, as if she could no longer take another step.

The Phoenix Group is one of the premier large-scale enterprises in the country, with countless subsidiaries and a vast range of industries, including real estate, golf courses, hotel services, aviation, and electronic technology. Its scope of operations is so extensive that it even extends overseas.

Yet, as that thought surfaced, another impulse welled up. He wanted to pull her into his arms, keep begging her, and tell her that he was willing to kill Chen Wei, as long as she would leave with him.

Therefore, Wang Shouye focused more on the underlying threads behind the destruction of the Wang family in his previous life. Compared to the visible and traceable Zhou family, the hidden hand behind the scenes was far more terrifying.

He opened his attribute panel impatiently. He needed gene points to ease the pain in his body; the energy from the gene points entering his system was now minimal and could no longer heal his injuries, but all his wounds now required gene points to assist in the recovery.

Most people chose to remain skeptical. After all, these batteries were a new invention that no one had used before. Furthermore, many felt that this was merely a marketing tactic by the biological battery company to exaggerate the product's capabilities.

This was likely a case of fire in the backyard. Since it involved an old classmate of Abdul-Ney, it was no wonder the man looked so guilty. If a corrupt official in such a critical city was not handled properly, it could lead to the very situation Abdul-Ney had described. His old classmate had certainly brought him shame.

Using almost every ounce of his strength, he drove his Dugu blade, unleashing what he believed to be his strongest surge of true energy, and slashed toward the increasingly bloated middle-aged Taoist.

"After this incident, Gao Yang has likely failed completely in his attempt to compete with you," Jiang Nan added.

He had intended to sleep with Tang Mengmeng, but the girl reeked of alcohol, and he was a bit of a clean freak.

"Oh, I don't care where we go to play. All I want is for you to accompany me. As long as you're with me, I'd be happy even if we were just walking the streets," Shangguan Qingxin said coquettishly.

However, saying nothing was not her nature. Thus, she left behind a remark that was easily misunderstood.

And so, despite how strange it seemed, such a scene became a fixture at the Moon God Academy—a group formed by the top-ranked, gifted students of the institution.

Liang Kang was terrified. At this moment, Luo Zixiu was like a completely different person compared to before; both the sharpness of his blade work and the density of his internal energy far surpassed his own. To keep fighting would only lead to death sooner or later.

Previously, when the energy blast had struck, Chu Tiansuo had resisted it head-on, clearly suffering heavy suppression; it was impossible for him to defend perfectly.

She clearly wanted to say something, but seemed afraid of something as well. Although Du Ziwen found it inexplicable, he chose to comfort her first.

"I didn't expect the alchemist from the Xia family to be able to create something like this; it seems they have some tricks up their sleeve," Wu Hang said with a smile.

Kai Sa knew that Shi Yuzhu had earned over 10 billion from the game *Zhengtu*, but Kai Sa could never match Shi Yuzhu's methods.

However, as a brilliant Profound-grade peak-level blacksmith apprenticed to Su Yong, it was quite normal for him to handle some of the preliminary material processing.

The soul techniques of the Fierce Demon Sect could force their disciples to instantly detonate their soul origins, making it impossible to stop.

This was also Gan Ning's line of reasoning: since abilities that had affected her in the original work were effective, then weapons should function the same way.

Jiang Changqing's ability to learn was good. She could already understand the gist of what Granny Shi said, and if she stayed longer, she would certainly understand everything. Unfortunately, her stay had been short.

Just as he was about to convict him, a noise from outside the door drew the attention of everyone in the room.

Even if it was overly sweet, it was still far better than the texture of low-quality rice that one might only find during a famine.

"You haven't seen Duo Yi and the others for a long time. Go and see her; she is carrying the imperial heir and life in the inner palace is difficult. Offer her some guidance on my behalf." Zhuge Sheng said this suddenly, leaving Shi Mi stunned. Had he discovered something?

Those who died in battle were said to have attained paradise, while those who were injured were viewed as having shown disrespect to the Buddha. Therefore, although there was no logic to their warfare, their morale was high and they were exceptionally fierce.

"...You didn't bring Brother Sheng and Duo Yi here last time just to dig for herbs, did you?" Ling'er was not very fond of digging for herbs.

"The two of you go back! Leave this to me!" With his hands behind his back, in the span of a single breath, Ling Jing's figure appeared in front of Sang Ren and said nonchalantly.

"Thank you, Young Master. In fact, the Master said the same thing while he was alive, but the ancestral teachings are hard to defy, so I cannot agree to your request."

Di Hong also believed that there was nothing in the entire chaos world that could compare to the Primordial Heaven-Opening Axe.

It was the bestial behavior of the barbarians and the harm they inflicted upon the citizens of the Great Qin under his rule that stirred his rage from the heart.

Huo Jingyu emerged from a neglected corner, one hand in his pocket, the other casually clutching a thin jacket. The high-quality suit trousers showed distinct creases, which rippled as he walked, making his figure appear even more slender.

The combat power of the Three-Legged Golden Toad was directly proportional to its master's wealth, and the fact that this toad’s combat power could rank in the top ten of the Gu world truly astonished him.

Such medium-to-large auctions were generally held in the reception halls of five-star hotels.

After enjoying the scenery for a while and finishing a pot of tea, the time had grown late, and Chen Tianfeng prepared to speak.
