“Marshal Bian has already selected some reserve soldiers and is conducting their most basic training near the Heavenly Capital. At this rate, I’m afraid they won’t be able to reinforce the various legions within a month. However, Marshal Bian guarantees that by the beginning of July at the latest, these reserve troops can be incorporated into the army,” Xuanji said.

Li Yun hurried forward and snatched Starcatcher from Ye Wumei’s hands. He held Starcatcher against his chest with one arm and pressed his other palm to the center of her brow, examining her carefully for a long while before slowly withdrawing his hand.

Although Tang Fei had lived with the Qin family for only a little over ten days, the simple, honest family had already come to regard him as one of their own. When they learned that Tang Fei had probably met with misfortune, the entire Qin family sank into grief.

Just as Venerable Water Mirror realized that something was wrong, countless blue flames suddenly erupted within a thousand yards in every direction. The tremendous heat set the void crackling as countless fine waves of heat rolled outward, instantly melting the heavy snow filling the entire area.

“Hehe, will we have to start calling you Lord Ma from now on?” Shen Chongming joked. The fellow never thought before he spoke, acting as though he were the superior.

Li Fengli quickly changed the subject. Zhu Zhu had the feeling that Grandma still had more to say, but seeing that something was off in both her mother’s and grandmother’s expressions, she did not dare press further.

Picking up the phone, Luo Jinshi wanted to share everything with Ji Shangnan. But before she could, there came a knock at the door. Through the glass, Luo Jinshi saw that the person outside was Qin Mo—the man who appeared at the company from time to time.

Wu Shuangzhi and the others hurriedly nodded, but in Luo Xiang and the others’ eyes, their smiles looked extraordinarily lewd.

The moment Tang Fei stepped inside, he felt a dense spiritual energy rushing toward him. It seemed he did not even need to absorb it; the energy drilled straight into his nostrils. The sensation was indescribably pleasant.

“Master, please don’t concern yourself with it. Keiko has been overcome with grief during this time. Her father was murdered by Wang Yu, and you avenged her father’s death. She is willing to become your slave and servant, waiting upon you at your side,” Huang Zhong said.

Zheng Nanqi and the others truly did need to return and discuss the matter. Without any further ceremony, they left together with Chen Yunxi and the others.

Liu Qingxi had kissed me directly on the lips that time, so naturally she had come into the closest contact with me, which was why the sensation had been so clear. But what was the matter with this Shilan?

Back then, Shen Jian had happened to hear Luo Xihao singing. Curious about what sort of person could use a voice reminiscent of a hundred ghosts wailing to sing such a cloying love song, he followed the sound and accidentally uncovered the other man’s secret.

Even with Yun Ming cooperating fully, the collateral branch of the Yan clan remained extremely cautious. No form of address seemed appropriate, so they could only settle on a compromise.

That afternoon, the group set out grandly from Mushu and began making the rounds to “inspect” the completed laboratories of the entire system.

Then she suddenly noticed a tremor in the branch beside the glazed mouse. With a whoosh, corpses of wolves began dropping one after another beneath the tree with a succession of heavy thuds.

He had seen the terms “vital energy” and “spirit” online more than once yesterday.

“It’s all because you get to do whatever you want.” Wan Dai wore the same exhausted expression, with barely enough strength left even to breathe.

That did not even include the Forbidden Sea Demons. If the Forbidden Sea Demons entered the ocean and adapted to that environment, Fang Ping would face even greater trouble.

Some people were destined not to live long, people like Second Chen. Of course, if such a person managed to survive, they would often achieve extraordinary things; even dying would become difficult for them.

I gathered my thoughts, rubbed my nose, and walked over to the other side of the arena with a bitter smile. Holding on to the steps at its edge, I slowly climbed up. There was nothing graceful about it at all; I was utterly pathetic. By the time I reached the top, even Ye Kuan’s originally calm smile had finally twisted into an exaggerated grin.

Second Chen had clearly already died. He could not possibly have a life tomorrow or the day after. So where had he stolen several thousand years of life?

“It’s absolutely delicious! I never imagined this vegetable porridge of yours could taste so good, Brother Mi. Thank you!” I was truly grateful; this bowl of vegetable porridge had far exceeded my expectations.

“That depends on what kind of alloy it is. If the manufacturing conditions are too demanding, we may not be able to reproduce it. Even if we know the process, we might still be unable to make it. After all, there is still an inherent gap between us and the developed countries when it comes to material production and processing.” He assumed that Yang Fan had obtained some sort of formula through an underground channel.

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of white brilliance appeared, and a cold, gleaming blade suddenly thrust toward him. Feng Feiyu’s pupils contracted, and he immediately retreated, but he was still a step too slow. A bloody cut was left across his face.

I was soaked from head to toe, but after setting down the basin, I ran outside once more. The others were all still busy outdoors; I could hardly remain inside the tree house simply to hide from the rain. As I went out, I noticed that my room was already piled high with firewood and the things they had brought. It seemed they had moved everything in ahead of time.

Of course, that hundred billion was not the main point. The real significance lay in Future Technology’s plan: to build the world’s largest wind-tunnel testing facility.

The battle between Deep Sea and the Netherworld Dragon was still raging. The juvenile Netherworld Dragon was no match for Deep Sea, but if it had been an adult, defeating Deep Sea and beating the crap out of him would have been effortless.

He raised his Pojun Spear. As his true essence began to circulate, its mysteries unfolded. The natural energies of the Four Symbols converged upon the spearhead, drawing a brilliant streak of light before thrusting out with explosive force.

With precisely this thought in mind, Al immediately unleashed his full strength. His objective was simple: buy Gao Zhen time to escape and draw the opposing fire elemental’s attention entirely onto himself, causing it to overlook Gao Zhen.
