Volume 1, Chapter 31: Furthermore, Martial Prowess Shines Bright (Part 1)

If one were to rely solely on the blacksmith shop structures from the manuals to forge armor, no amount of obsidian would suffice to cover the consumption. Obsidian is, after all, a vital strategic resource; common metals are perfectly adequate for weapons and armor. Adam had long since delegated the forging of such equipment to the Gnomes.

The technique he unleashed at the end was the culmination of the power he had absorbed from himself time and time again. Naturally, this process also took a toll on Ren Cangye.

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible. The system must be malfunctioning—yes, that has to be it." Luo Tian was beginning to panic.

After speaking, Meng Yu glanced at Ju Hua, but only made brief eye contact, careful not to let his gaze linger where it shouldn't.

Adam, however, had his mind elsewhere. He would let Colby slowly lead the people in learning these knowledge systems; he was now impatient to begin constructing the defensive buildings he desired.

"People fear ghosts by three parts, and ghosts fear people by three parts. Ghosts aren't necessarily as terrifying as you say; the important thing is whether your own heart is strong enough. When you are no longer afraid or fearful in the face of a vengeful spirit, you will find ten thousand ways to defeat them. Who is born knowing how to catch a ghost?" Lin Yumai retorted.

Dong Jun watched with a sense of depression as Shang Qian's Mercedes-Benz vanished around the corner of the campus. Could her boyfriend be a university professor? Dong Jun rubbed his chin, speculating.

"Since that's the case, trouble yourself to go find that man surnamed Chen and ask him what he's done with Boss Bao and the others." The young man wore a haughty expression. Although his words feigned politeness, his tone was that of someone issuing a command, showing no shred of awareness that he was inconveniencing anyone.

Once the battle had broken out, the Japanese soldiers' counterattack was methodical, showing no signs of panic. Compared to the cowardly, hesitant behavior of the puppet troops, the contrast was stark.

He only truly realized something was wrong during the third match. Xing Shazhen's opponent was the strongest young man from a certain tribe, possessing the strength of the Seventh Level of Initial Perception.

"Xiyue, Grandfather is already disappointed in me. If I wake up and don't go to see him, wouldn't that just make him even more heartbroken?" As Wang Caijun spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Considering the schemes her eldest and second brothers had concocted against Xiang Tianci, it was an act of magnanimity that Xiang Tianci hadn't fought the Ling family to the bitter end.

Hua Fenglan had no appetite, so she took a couple of sips of water and returned it to him. "The government troops are searching everywhere these days. Brother Yun Di was severely wounded; logically speaking, he shouldn't have gone far. Perhaps he found a hidden place to hole up."

Bai Mu took the box and opened it, revealing an ebony fan resting inside. Her eyes lit up. She took the fan, gave it a gentle flick, and in an instant, a brilliant, five-colored radiance flooded the entire cafe.

"My 'missing' is the kind an elder feels for a younger generation, while your 'missing' is like the way Mommy misses Daddy!" Han Yuwei tried to explain it as simply as possible.

Tongtong put her right index finger in her mouth, thought for a moment, and said she remembered a big tree at the entrance of the village, and that she had a sister named Qinqin, but she remembered nothing else.

"I knew Brother Mad Dao must have had something to impart! Let's go, we're heading back now!" Upon hearing this, Fei He hurriedly signaled to the surrounding crowd and the disciples of the Huangba Mingxin Sect who were clearing the battlefield, and they flew toward the camp.

The giant rat immediately began to convulse, its four limbs kicking wildly in a struggle, its massive tail lashing out in every direction.

"What grand gift could make that operation anything other than a loss? You've squandered the core strength of our family!" Alhatu scolded angrily.

Hua Peining pouted. "Am I not telling the truth? Although the food here is good, it's so painful to be locked up in here every day."

It is hard to imagine just how terrifying this is. The former can kill without a trace; outsiders might never even know why a cultivator suddenly suffered a backlash from their own divine abilities or combat techniques and died on the spot—just as people didn't know how Wuming had been injured earlier.

Just as Yi was lost in thought, pondering the meaning of intent, the surroundings suddenly brightened again. What met his eyes was still the snow-capped mountain, still the same snowy valley. However, the difference was that this time, upon waking, the Taisui was no longer confused. It let out a heaven-shaking roar and then leaped once more onto that snowy peak.

No one knew who Yi was fighting. His movements were fluid and seamless; after a strike, he turned and countered with a backhand blow, then arched his back and lashed out with his feet. While his hands supported him on the ground, he didn't bother to rise, instead staying in a handstand and delivering over a dozen kicks before stopping.

Therefore, those who practiced Taoism and sought immortality in ancient times emphasized four contributing factors: Method, Companion, Location, and Wealth.

Lin Yichen heard that this was a factual matter, so he nodded, accepting Song Xun's explanation.

Zheng Shen immediately entered the ship's cabin to see what was happening below. As soon as he stepped inside, the rumbling of the cannons on the sea suddenly fell silent, and the sound of rhythmic thumping grew louder. Zheng Shen listened carefully; it was the sound of something striking the wooden planks.

The Yak Soul-User glanced at him. "During the day, the demonic energy is relatively weaker, which is the easiest time to set things up. Don't worry, when the grand formation is activated, there will be overcast clouds for thousands of miles around, and the sunlight won't shine through." Only then was Yi reassured.

Before the mouth arrived, the stench arrived first, accompanied by a large pool of thick saliva that was on the verge of dripping onto his face.

The burly man who had been driven away just moments ago sat firmly in place, his eyes watching Shan Wufeng ahead with focus.
