Chapter 134: The Martial Tournament (I)

Xue'er attempted to circulate her spiritual energy once more, but it was entirely futile; she was now no different from an ordinary person who had never practiced cultivation. Silently, she prayed, "Brother Dao Sansheng, you must do your best. You have to win this match."

The burly, bearded man, Wang Zhe, knocked again...

On the final day of the Mercenary Ranking Refresh Tournament, Tian Qing returned to Mercenary City with his group, just as he had anticipated. Dozens of watchful eyes were sweeping toward their direction. With a cold scoff and an unwavering expression, Tian Qing continued walking toward the Mercenary Association.

Whether it was marriage or remarriage, Xue Luo felt that after everything she and Feng Xinglang had been through, that piece of paper no longer signified anything.

Finally, the eyes of the Ox-Beast clouded over, unable to see the world outside. After a brief moment of inertia, its massive body, dozens of feet long, crashed heavily onto the ice.

Hong Heyu and Hong Zhanpeng had been grinning from ear to ear for the past two days, meeting countless agents every day who had come from all over the country to negotiate for distribution rights with the Heyu Group.

She did not realize that her willful actions would bring a devastating catastrophe upon the brother who loved her. She also did not know that Gu Song’s true purpose for coming to the airport was to seize her brother and bring him back for interrogation.

Without the aura of a True Dragon, the future cultivation speed of the two Lizard Dragons would revert to that of ordinary magical beasts. At this rate, even in a thousand years, they would never be able to break through from the Heaven Level to the Super Heaven Level.

Some of the weaker factions were already rubbing their hands in anticipation, waiting for the moment the Sky Pit opened so they could scramble to grab as many valuables as possible. As for the items of real value, they knew better: it was never their turn to touch them.

Chu Haoran somersaulted through the air and landed in front of the defensive line. The moment his feet touched the ground, the mechanical unit launched a fierce assault, and the fighter jets in the sky opened fire as well. Though they could not hit Chu Haoran, the air was filled with flying bullets; if he were to leap back up, he would surely be riddled with holes like a sieve.

As for Yang Yuefeng, he was only suited for interior defense and rebounding. The only two sharp weapons left for positional attacks were Luo Shijie and Chen Fan.

It was as if by crippling Lin Han’s dantian instead of killing him, he was bestowing an extraordinary grace and showing magnanimous mercy.

The former subordinates of the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise had been hiding in the foothills of Mount Yuntai. Since reuniting with Li Longshou and hearing the young monarch’s decree, they were all eager to move. A portion of them followed quietly; while only a hundred men from the Brave Cavalry Battalion were ostensibly tasked with protection, the secret force following Li Longshou’s party grew like a rolling snowball.

As someone who can neither strive toward the heights of the elite nor muster the shamelessness to sink to the depths of human depravity, caught in the middle—unnoticed, unasked for, intimate with no one, and devoid of love—was I truly destined to stop here?

Duanmu Qianming was a clever man; in an instant, he realized that although Luo Yu did not like him, she was also reluctant to kill him.

It was all that girl Xia Qinglian’s fault for speaking recklessly, claiming that if he beat the guy down, he would go on a date and have dinner with someone else, turning him into the public enemy of every male student at Ocean University.

In the bloody battle, thanks to the presence of a top-tier powerhouse like Zhou Bingran, the Zero Unit won this lightning war. The ice field exploded, and within the exposed special base, electric arcs flickered as various precision devices were caught in the destruction, billowing with black smoke.

Thinking that since Tao Zhuohua addressed him as "sir," it was evident that while she was polite, she had no intention of acknowledging him as her father. Su Shixian complied with her wishes and addressed her as "Your Highness."

Feeling that something was not quite right, Luo Yu quickly used the system to call out to Chu Mo, who was in another part of the Water Empire, to help her analyze the situation.
