At the center of Expedition Immortal City, a pillar of red light flared into the sky, within which a black dragon swam up and down.
The appearance of this pillar of light signified the start of a new war season, and it was a Chaos Battle of the highest tier. Naturally, the war rewards were fitting for the scale of the conflict. Because of this, Expedition Immortal City was packed with people, and cultivators who heard the news swarmed continuously toward the Expedition Hall to redeem dharma bodies and treasured armaments. The crowd was so immense that a line stretching several hundred paces formed outside the hall's doors. For those best at dealing with—
"I will always believe in you!" Zhao Ying repeated. The gloom on her face vanished without a trace, and her smile blossomed like a flower.
When one gambled enough times, there was no need for any cheating tricks; mathematics alone could strip away every single penny from a gambler's hands.
Yet the punishment from earlier that day was still fresh in his mind. He truly did not want to suffer another penalty just because he ran out of time to complete the quest, and it was only because Guan Xiaolei seemed like a decent person that he had dared to bend the rules.
Tatum went into full Westbrook-style charge mode, not complaining in the slightest about the referee's whistles. He led the team on a twelve-point scoring run, including an isolation play against George for an and-one, completely shattering the Lakers. Su Yang then called a timeout solely to sub him off so he could soak in the arena's ovation.
On this day, Zhang Shiping felt the speed at which he breathed in and refined spiritual energy drop abruptly, knowing that the lamp oil had run dry.
After night fell, in this mortal city called Shuo City, apart from a few bustling spots that remained brightly lit, all other areas had extinguished their lights early just to save a bit of oil money.
The key issue was that alongside the arrival of a hard salary cap, the luxury tax rate would also increase. Compared to the previous tiered model where one paid a fixed amount for exceeding a certain threshold, the future would employ an exponentially escalating penalty system—unless one was willing to lose money just to make a splash.
"Seven! Eight! Nine!" Just then, a dramatic turn of events unfolded. With clearly only the final second remaining, Taishi Ci seemed to slip, landing squarely atop the nine-foot-tall plum blossom stakes.
"Years ago, when you dueled Nameless, you had only comprehended the Twenty-First Sword, which was merely grasping the foundation. Over these years, you have comprehended the Twenty-Second Sword, which is like putting forth green leaves and bringing forth blossoms."
Having grown utterly sick of wandering around the job fair, Hu Yi felt his spirits instantly lift upon hearing that there was movement regarding work, and he immediately hailed a cab to hurry home.
"Grandma, can Rongcan come watch the stall with us?" After returning home that day, Bai Shu gave his grandmother a phone call.
Xu Yaoning looked at Lin Shisheng across from her with a faint, knowing smile. Lin Shisheng smiled gently back at her, and just as he was about to speak, their eyes flickered simultaneously, turning in unison toward a chair sitting below.
Noon had arrived, and all the heroes and champions had assembled, missing only the people from the Myriad Flowers Pavilion; everyone began to grow restless.
Li Chengqian cast a casual glance and paid no further attention, whereas Li Ke looked somewhat nervously at his father, then at his elder brother beside him, his expression rather tense.
After that, Feng Yi nodded and said, "That's good. Get plenty of rest tonight; we will handle this matter tomorrow." Having said that, he returned to his room.
He fell silent for a moment, raised his hands, stripped off the clothes he had just put on in two or three swift motions, and bore down toward the bed without a word.
Once I walked outside, I spotted Yan Zhigao at a glance. The guy was decent enough after all and hadn't left without me.
He asked Captain Lin for his phone, snapped a photo of the apricot-colored fox that Su Hang had kept in the crystal box, and handed it back to Captain Lin.
The horse's hooves reared high, and Lin Jiaruo finally failed to keep her seat, tumbling down from behind. Just then, figures leaped into the air behind her—one caught Lin Jiaruo, while another pulled the roadside vendor out of harm's way.
"Let's go. We'll buy some tasty treats, and then we'll go find Mom!" Bai Hui scooped up Bai Shu, set him into the shopping cart, and wheeled him toward the snack and dried goods section.
After their peak combatants won a complete victory, the ten joined forces and tore straight through, sweeping across the Desolate race's army and main camp. The fearsome battle arrays and encampment restrictions that had been so deadly on the battlefield proved utterly fragile before the eighth-rank patriarchs.
Many players had not participated in the Selection of the King of Valiancy; they kept farming monsters to accumulate experience and level up. Even among the squads taking part in the Selection, many still farmed open-world mobs every day.
He found a mountain trail and headed in the direction of Country Y. As he walked, he practiced a few common phrases in Country Y's language, but after walking for a dozen minutes, a faint rustle suddenly came from the jungle to his side.
Colonel Guan said nothing aloud, but cursed inwardly: *Believe you? Like hell I would! That broken wooden sword is clearly a toy bought buy-one-get-one-free for ten yuan at the foot of Changbai Mountain. I sent people to investigate that ages ago.*
Sun Ruoyu knew that Zhishan was spying on him from the shadows, but he had no time to play a waiting game with this fellow; he couldn't outlast him.
Yet Pipi was truly enraged. Behind every clownish fool lay a past too painful to look back upon. The siege by these survivors reminded it of the past ordeal of being besieged by numerous contenders in the arena, reminding it of its life in that dark, sunless colosseum; it was truly furious.
This was Xiao Yi's first time here. As far as he knew, Deep Sea Home had a very famous drink called Ice Flame, an alcoholic beverage with a very distinct taste. It was said that drinking it instantly magnified all bodily sensations, giving one the wondrous feeling of one's spirit expanding outward boundlessly.
Snow Wolf shut them down with a single sentence, and no one asked Snow Wolf why he hadn't thought of such a method anymore.
Sun Ruoyu's ears suddenly twitched. Shifting his gaze, he saw Thanos charging toward him with massive strides, wielding a double-bladed sword with menacing momentum—evidently having spotted the gauntlet in Sun Ruoyu's hand.
She also wanted to resurrect her companions with her own hands, but using a resurrection card only yielded experience; she couldn't achieve what Ye Ren did at all.
Perhaps he couldn't kill this chongchi beast in short order, but she also knew that Ye Xingchen would slay it sooner or later, though in the process of killing this creature, he might be gravely wounded.
Earlier, Jia Xu had spoken up ahead of Liu Ye, which Changtian naturally noticed. Thus, having decided to spare Zhang Ning and Zhou Cang, he took the opportunity to make amends to Liu Ye so as to avoid discord among his advisors.
When that green liquid dropped into the boiling water, a flash of green light abruptly appeared, rapidly assimilating the boiling water until its color gradually turned green. However, because of the small amount of green liquid, the color inside the bathtub remained rather pale.
By ordinary logic, even if a martial artist of the three Spirit Refinement realms broke through the heavens, without having undergone the Creation Lightning Tribulation, they couldn't possibly be mentioned in the same breath as a Nirvana master. Even with all sorts of exceptional traits or being a monstrous genius seen once in ten thousand years, at the very absolute best, holding one's own for a move or two against a peak Destiny Realm master would already be extraordinary.
