Volume 1, Chapter 61: The Grand Finale (Part 1)

What he found strange, however, was that the people around him seemed completely unresponsive to that dragon's roar. Could it be that he was just hearing things?

Dazedly watching Huang Zhong, who was usually devoid of smiles, break into a grin for the very first time right in front of him, Wang Yao's heart stirred, and he instantly felt there was still hope.

Liu Hui said, "I've heard that it's usually very difficult for ordinary soldiers to be promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. Auston must have put in a lot of effort, right?"

"This old man cannot leave such an opponent to Ying'er and Li'er," Liu Shou said, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.

The three of them rounded a corner to return via another street. Passing by a flower and potted plant shop, the captain paused in his steps and gazed into the interior for a moment.

The captain asked hastily, "How many of them are there? What is their plan? Why did they hijack this plane?"

Yet, at this point, no amount of accusation or condemnation could fully vent the rage burning within Wang Yao's chest.

Shifting his gaze to Henry of the Ford Motor Company, he remained unconcerned, not even looking at Han Xuan's eyes, and instead stared intently at a few paintings on the wall to admire them.

"Then shall I go keep an eye on things for you?" The old gentleman failed to notice the trap and intention Lu Can had led him into today.

For places that were ownerless or even those with owners who were absent, she could take possession of them without the slightest psychological burden.

In an instant, all the common elemental abilities of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were maxed out, while rare abilities such as lightning, ice, and psychic powers were all present as well.

Coupled with certain objective reasons—such as the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides—the medicinal efficacy of traditional Chinese herbs had weakened, with some herbs even losing their medicinal properties entirely. In the past, ginseng required several years or even over a decade before it could be used.

As fifty M2 60mm mortars established a second artillery position, the devils' artillery positions were gradually and completely blasted into ruins.

As he spoke, he gnashed his teeth so hard they clicked, his current mood also locked in a state of extreme suppression.

Wen Shu had originally thought today would pass by quietly and unnoticed, with probably only her family and that girl Lin Jiayi remembering it.

As he spoke, he wondered internally if Tsunade wanted to send him to work for the Anbu. After all, the Third Hokage had asked him before if he wanted to work in the Anbu, so Tsunade having such an idea wouldn't be entirely surprising.

Although this era was hard, both of them were city kids and truly had never experienced the task of digging up sweet potatoes.

The moment Hawul drew his gun, he was powerfully hypnotized by Xiao Xingyun. Although he watched himself raise the weapon, the urge to pull the trigger vanished completely.

The cabin where she was located was on the lowest deck. The deck above was further away from the water line and accommodated the boatmen, with many rooms featuring transom windows. Two of the rooms had larger windows through which one could crawl outside.

At that moment, she couldn't help but think—how wonderful it would be if she and Xiao Diyuan were to be happily married one day.

Wei Anning tried her best to press her back against the glass window, avoiding physical contact with him. Yet he refused to let her go, pressing closer and closer until their bodies were seamlessly sealed against one another.

He no longer knew how to express the emotions churning within his heart. Reaching out, he pulled her fiercely into his embrace, holding her quietly as he kissed her hair and breathed in her scent, then cupped her face and kissed her deeply upon the lips—a kiss infused with a lifetime's worth of tenderness.

"I will find you a new place to be sealed. The conditions here are simply too wonderful, shielded from wind and rain, allowing the souls of your ancestors to actually have the energy to continuously batter the seal. It's practically a vacation for you."

The newcomer was none other than her former superior—that most unreliable, most widely resented old bastard.

Listening to her uncle scold her aunt, she thought: if it weren't for her own sacrifice, where would they have gotten all this money? So what if she spent a little of it... Shocked, she rushed out to question them, but with guilty expressions, they naturally refused to answer.

He still preferred her soft, smooth cascade of black hair, even though this hairstyle made her look more mature and alluring.

"What are you talking nonsense about! You're the one who came looking for Qiao Wu of your own accord; it has nothing to do with me!" Qiao An immediately retorted.

Just as she wanted to pack her things and leave, the moment her feet touched the ground, her ankle hurt so badly she almost fell.

"Let's go, let's take a look at the dried vegetable processing workshop and the canning workshop." Wang Zhiguo nodded to a few workers, then turned and left, leading Liang Zhiyong, Song Li, Liu Shoucai, Wang Dong, and the others away.

The entire dormitory building could hear it. Many people poked their heads out, and upon seeing that it was Liu Mengyue, they whistled in succession.

Han Yuan immediately echoed in agreement. This was a style well-suited for them; disciples of major sects were invariably vetted through rigorous selection and trials of life and death, and applying this set of rules to Qingyun City today would still prove just as effective.

The Five Elements Absolute Lands were different; they were formed naturally, whereas the power of thunder could be summoned through the Heavenly Thunder Body-Refining Technique. Five Elements Absolute Lands were not common in this world, and even within the records of the Xiao family's ancient texts, the related information was extremely scarce.

Upon hearing this, Shui Ningyan was stunned for a moment, and then a pair of eyes flicked between ice and fire. She never expected that Huangfu Chen would go even further with his words.

When he grew angry like this, it filled her with helplessness and fear—a fear that far exceeded the occasional pressure brought by Qiao Yuan, and far surpassed the pressure brought by the domineering new drill instructor.

A hint of deep contemplation surfaced in Xiao Yi's eyes, and a trace of an inexplicable smile curled the corners of his lips as he spoke in a rather firm and soft tone.

The next moment, he caught sight of a figure in black robes flashing past. Lin轩 let out a cold snort; anyone daring to target him clearly had a death wish.

Xiao Yi put away the flame of the soul and kept it close to his chest. This was the most crucial item. Although he knew it had been given to him by someone else, he owed that mysterious man a massive favor. It was a debt of gratitude as vast as the sea; should they ever meet again in the future, he would definitely thank him in person and repay the kindness manifold.
