Volume 1, Chapter 65: Shen Nian'an and Xu Xinnian Both Drugged

The research institute had a lunch break, but everyone usually skipped it, burying their heads straight into the laboratory after eating.

However, after Shen Nian'an arrived, Elder Wen's rule changed.

Shen Nian'an, who had experienced death by overwork, droned in their ears like a broken record player.

Elder Wen wanted to rebel to the end, but feeling guilty, his resistance never lasted more than three seconds before he would obediently cuddle the small pillow Shen Nian'an brought him and rest on the desk.

Today, however, Shen Nian'an was quite surprised.

System prompt: Your battle against the Demon Spirit Doll Emily in the team raid: Toy Factory has failed.

Manager Wang, based in Nanguang, had observed all sorts of people, ranging from gang bosses down to out-of-town vagrants, and had long since developed a piercingly astute eye.

Of course, Li Jing's style was not hard to understand. After all, a towering tree catches the wind; he was the God of War who had annihilated the Eastern Turkic Khaganate. If he didn't keep a low profile in his actions, wasn't he deliberately asking for death right in front of the Emperor?

Naturally, although the dozen or so figures ranked behind him possessed terrifyingly formidable strength, in his view, the greatest threat to winning the championship in this "Contest of the Hundred Schools and Sects" should still be those few fellows ranked ahead of him.

Qin Tian knew very well that that mysterious power likely originated from the four divine swords, and this was the final bestowal from the existence that called itself a "God."

Qin Yi had already walked out from the forest. Having not seen him for a long time, the aura of death about him had grown even heavier. Gloomy and cold like a corpse frozen for years, he was devoid of any emotion.

Lin Xingchen, belonging to the international Longhu Mercenary Corps, still remembered that he was in the middle of executing an arduous mission.

"What do you mean? 'Big Man' isn't a brand name; it's specially designed for men with exceptionally large packages. The extra room in the front of the underwear gives your little brother a place to rest," Tian Tian said with a shy blush.

With a flurry of frantic strikes, Nankai Rui completely drained his energy, becoming utterly exhausted. In a tilt, he rolled right off the head of the Golden-Scaled Kui-Dragon from sheer fatigue.

Next, he had to resolve an even more headache-inducing problem: whether or not to submit to Qin Yi's new order, whether to fight or surrender. This concerned the life or death of the Archaic Sect.

This was Qin Wan's backup plan. Last night, they led a team of soldiers to first smash through a section of the ice downstream, and then pre-dug an ice hole at the location where Nie Yucheng planned to intercept the captives, simply covering the hole's mouth with a thin layer of ice so that from afar, it would look no different to the careless observer.

The hair on Steve's body instantly stood on end. Reason told him that across such a long distance and in the dark, the target couldn't possibly see him.

"You want me to go back with you? No way in hell, I refuse to submit," the violent panda said with a great deal of backbone.

The first matter was to unlock the secret of the Heaven-Turning Seal, and the second was to track down the whereabouts of Luo Zhongxing, the Daoist of Ten Perfections.

After a long half-day, the group recovered and turned one by one to look at Wu Tian, their expressions still lingering with shock.

"If this tree demon were at its peak, I'm afraid the only thing I could do would be to flee in panic," Feng Hao broke out in a cold sweat.

After the seven people controlled the holy artifact and brought the avatar of the barbarian god to this place, they immediately sat cross-legged, exerting all their strength to control the holy artifact in their hands to maintain the Big Dipper Extinction Array. This was to prevent the barbarian god's avatar from rampaging inside and shattering the formation, which would bring a catastrophic disaster upon them.

"This corpse cannot be wasted," Yan Kai first thought of Primordial Zero Ancestor, but after pondering it, it was completely unfeasible. Setting aside rejection reactions, even if the transplantation succeeded, running into old acquaintances of the Three Elders might implicate Primordial Zero Ancestor's soul; after all, such matters could not be kept hidden.

William Hankers looked at his own body—strength, William Hankers felt an unprecedented surge of power. His confidence in saving his younger sister soared instantly.

Following that, endless worldly vital energy coalesced, and immediately behind Ye Tianhao, a massive phantom condensed—it was precisely his Heavenly Law Manifestation, the phantom of the Divine Sovereign.
