Volume 1, Chapter 64: Toying with the Female Spy, Bones and Sulfuric Acid

Huang Han was genuinely happy for Teacher Qiu and enjoyed having a drink with the beaming An Junxiang, yet every time, their opposing views would turn their conversations into fierce, edge-of-the-sword arguments.

"Dr. Li, why aren't you saying anything? Is there perhaps something unspeakable you are hiding?" someone couldn't help but ask.

After a silence as if he were silently memorizing something, Kou Bin's voice came over again. Zheng Jianguo blinked and paused for a moment, realizing instantly that this question must have been instructed by Kou Qingkai for Kou Bin to ask.

Of course, the most important reason was that just last year, America officially upgraded its bilateral relationship level with the Republic to P-tier. Aside from weapons of mass destruction and core technologies related to semiconductor manufacturing, all conventional weapons technologies and the like were no longer restricted.

His hand brushed against the upper edge of the anti-theft door, and in a spot completely beyond the reach of a normal person's line of sight, he felt the key he had left there when he last departed.

In past eras, although transcendent beings were exceptionally powerful, they could not completely lord over ordinary people after all, nor could they ignore the will of the masses. Therefore, a system capable of accommodating ordinary people had still been established.

Furthermore, Jackson bore an extremely unique mark, one that would evolve into mainstream correctness in the years to come. If this superstar, who was currently burying himself in work for his new album, were to be dragged into this now, it might very well provoke the resentment of Jackson's fans.

"Ha, interesting! Well done! Go down and collect your reward later," a hearty laugh escaped Gu Jinsheng's lips, accompanied by an expression of supreme arrogance as if everything was completely under his control.

Driven by his example, quite a few Taiwanese businessmen with connections to Boss Kong bypassed Hong Kong to conduct on-site inspections in Sanshui County, successfully finalizing several projects with over a dozen more currently under negotiation.

Peng Ningle had a brief discussion with several musicians, then picked up the microphone and walked to the center of the stage. As for the format of the accompaniment, she had already discussed it earlier with a certain assistant director and these musicians, so naturally, there was no need to elaborate further at this moment.

Before heading out to sea, the vessel had undergone a thorough inspection to check for any contraband. However, the Zhou family's connections had already been smoothed out, so the inspection was merely a formality. Passing through with utmost ease, my mind settled down just a bit after clearing that first hurdle.

Seeing that Long Aotian was about to leave, and sensing through his sixth sense that this mage had no desire to meddle in this idle business, John suddenly raised his voice.

With a resounding crack, the sound of a palm striking the tabletop instantly reverberated around the entire grand hall, and then expanded outward infinitely.

With a slight smile, the Lord of Heavens Above maintained a detached expression. Waving his right hand amidst a brilliant burst of starlight, he constructed a flat map of the Sea of Death at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Two of them had been discovered at the time. One was crushed to provide solar flame energy to supplement the pet egg of the Solar Nine-Tailed Divine Bird, but the insufficient fire-elemental energy of the sun prevented the pet egg from hatching and reviving. Yet now, here was an identical Heavenly Sun Stone of the South China Sea, and there were bound to be even more Heavenly Sun Stones of the South China Sea beneath.

After consecutively using two abilities, Xiya slightly steadied his breathing. Launching two high-tier abilities back-to-back made it impossible for him to remain entirely unaffected. Meanwhile, the numerous demon hunters outside the arena had long fallen silent, concentrating intently on watching the match.

Bai Qi's mind was as steadfast as a monolith. Such matters were things he would never speak of, nor was he willing to bring them up. The only reason he had been able to mention it just now was because he had been utterly shaken by the various techniques displayed by the young man before him.

"Perhaps only at the moment of attaining sainthood will the soul blade drawn from within the body be able to withstand the infusion of the Overlord's might," the Elder of Time sighed and said.

And the happiest people in the entire world were undoubtedly all the people of Huaxia, because Huaxia had a total of eighty-one Hero Halls distributed across every provincial capital, with Beijing alone boasting as many as six.

"Truly possessing the bearing of a leader. Excellent! Then next, the one I am sending out is Chino. And you? Whom do you plan to send into the arena?" Morgan said casually.

Recovering my wits, I found myself leaning against Huo Yi's chest, my face pressed tightly and closely against him—so close that I could feel the muscular arc of his chest rising and falling with his breath, pillowed against his somewhat feverish skin.

"Supreme Qing'an, you may choose to have him challenge you, or you may choose to have all five brothers step out together for him to challenge alone, or for him to challenge all five of you," Tianyunzi smiled faintly, though these words nearly caused the challenger to stumble and fall out of mid-air.

I didn't say anything at the time, but in my heart, I didn't believe it. If their relationship were truly good, she shouldn't have stood by with folded arms from the very beginning. Even though she had been trying to persuade the Second Ghost Lord that day, she took no substantive measures whatsoever.

"You... thank you!" For the very first time, the Black Pagoda said thank you to an enemy. He didn't speak these words for himself, but for his brother Zhantian! He had clearly witnessed the entire process of that sword strike; even with Zhantian's formidable physical strength, he had been injured to such a severe extent. If he himself had tried to block it, probably not only would he be dead by now, but his physical body would have completely perished.

Yang Wulang, Yang Zongyue, Yang Zongwei, and the others following behind found this incomprehensible and very strange, yet they followed along anyway.

Flanking the Black and White Sovereigns on one side were the Transcendent of Concealed Heavens, the Transcendent of Blade Supremacy, and the Sovereign of the Dark Clan. Although the Dark Clan's Sovereign had suffered heavy injuries, after treatment with precious elixirs, he was barely able to contribute a meager effort under the protection of the two Sovereigns. On the other side were the Transcendent of Sword Supremacy and the Transcendent of Broken Heavens, while the final side was occupied by the various Beast Kings.
