Volume 1, Chapter 21: Death by Poison

"Glug, glug..." Yang Bian and Fa Ke's squids pierced through the thick, resistant layers of water, reaching the very bottom of the lake.

This martial technique demands a high level of physical conditioning from students. Most students focus primarily on spiritual cultivation with physical training as a secondary pursuit, and some neglect physical development entirely, making it impossible for them to master the technique.

Standing before the table, Old Madam Tang scrutinized the batch of frozen syrup. She selected a piece and tasted it carefully. The way the old woman savored it made Fang Ming unable to suppress his nervousness.

This left him in a daze, followed by an inexplicable ache in his heart. Chi Huan thought that this large trunk must be linked to Mo Tian's past. Furthermore, the former owner of the trunk must have been very important to Mo Tian.

Qin Yang sighed. He knew that such a spiritual object would inevitably possess its own aura. It might not have formed its own sentience, but the pressure of a dragon is not something an ordinary person can withstand.

Like Li Xiujie, he was a scion of a prominent family with a powerful clan backing him. By securing fifth place, he had brought honor to his family during the opening ceremony.

Moreover, the crimson energy within his body seemed to be cheering and leaping, as if it were on the verge of bursting forth from his skin.

Lu Chen understood the meaning in her eyes, for Shen Mo Huang had arrived at the Lu estate the moment Wei Hao appeared; naturally, she had heard everything that was said thereafter.

Chun Hua and Qiu Yue had initially intended to praise Ni Duoshi, but upon hearing what Xiu Moluo had to say, they swallowed their words and listened quietly to the rest.

Jin Jiaojiao's identity had been exposed, but the Shadow Pavilion was cold-blooded and ruthless; it was highly unlikely they would send anyone to reinforce her.

Indeed, if all other species were to unite against humanity, mankind would have been extinct long ago. But that is impossible; humanity is itself a part of Earth's biological collective, struggling for the right to survive just like every other species.

The monster's aura was right behind this thatched hut. If he could just pass through, he could capture it and reveal its true face.

I left the police station with Huzi. Naturally, I ran into the old officer while passing through the main gate.

Sun Xun could hear the dissatisfaction in Yang Xueming's tone, but he had no time to argue. If this matter escalated, he had to report it to the school leadership immediately.

"The vast sea is no longer water, and the clouds on Wushan are no longer clouds." Having weathered great storms, Meng Fan naturally no longer felt any deep sentiment toward the romantic games of his youth.

Across the world, every cultivator—whether they belonged to a sect or were independent wanderers—felt a shared sense of righteous indignation.

Damn, what kind of judgment is that? Who buys fifty apartments at once to live in? Han Dong didn't care about the location. Ten years from now, even in the fifth or sixth ring road of Tongzhou, prices would climb to seventy or eighty thousand, or even a hundred thousand per square meter. This was at least the second ring of the capital; prices skyrocketing effortlessly would be the least of it.

"Bodies! It's the scent of corpses and gunpowder!" After continuing the pursuit for a distance, Wild Dog suddenly spoke.

"I don't doubt his character." Hu Jinping did not answer directly, but for Han Dong, that was enough.

Just as the crowd looked around in confusion, the sound of wind being torn apart suddenly echoed through the vast sky, and a figure shot down from the storm.

Those nearby who heard Long Yun speak turned their heads in astonishment, staring at him as if he were a monster. Not a paratrooper? Wasn't there only the 104th Paratrooper Regiment nearby? How could it not be them?

"Alright then, sorry for the trouble." Andrei had no choice but to accept and see for himself; if it wasn't suitable, he could just walk away.

Exclamations of wonder came from behind, but they had nothing to do with Yuan Zhankong. Everyone was staring at the mysterious young man named "Lu Zheng," treating him, the peerless genius, as if he were as transparent as air.

Three dark shadows tracked the route He Zheng had taken when leaving the underground boxing ring, and inevitably, they discovered the handsome man's corpse.

Even if he yearned in his heart to seize the position of Crown Prince, how could he contend with such a second brother?

The two, having lost their senses, were immersed in desire, reacting only with primal instincts and paying no heed to this strange spiritual power.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew a thing or two about chess. The two were playing Chinese chess, which, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, followed the same logic as deploying troops for battle.

Fafnir, like a hammer thrower, grabbed the tail of the aircraft and began to spin the entire "Wildcat" in the air, using himself as the axis.

Nikolai mustered the last shred of his remaining consciousness and pulled the trigger toward his own leg. The bullet pierced through the muscle tissue of his thigh and embedded itself in the ground.

I should finish this quickly, go home, wash up, and sleep. The teleportation cooldown will be over today; after I handle a few things, I can head to the underworld.

Even while manipulating these authorities, Qi Yuan vaguely discovered that some of them had already been controlled by Jun, and with a very high degree of dominance.

As Zhang Su spoke, he glanced toward the direction of Village No. 2, confirmed his bearings, and continued riding forward.

"Exactly, dead is dead. It's just a land-dwelling female," Banner immediately chimed in, speaking with disdain.

Although he had used Viper Honey to lure Viper Poison over initially, that was to ensure a fair fight. Both sides should just fight; if they had the skill, they shouldn't run or flee.
