Volume One, Chapter 57: Becoming an Apprentice
There was no response in the room for a long time.
Hearing this, everyone felt a twinge of regret, pitying Muli for being ungrateful and failing to cherish such a wonderful opportunity.
Muli’s expression was currently one of extreme agony. The people beside him saw his look and could not help but feel puzzled—what was wrong with him?
Jiang Xinwei took the microphone. She saw Jiang Shan giving her a thumbs-up, and she also caught that deep, brilliant gaze. The stage lights were so dim, yet his eyes were so bright and enchanting, instantly filling her heart with an overwhelming sweetness.
Su Lie found it hard to believe that yesterday's torrential rain had truly soaked into the earth beneath his feet, but the thought seemed too wild to dwell upon deeply. Could a mere mortal fathom the will of the heavens? Since it was beyond guessing, why trouble oneself with needless anxiety?
As the white light within the mysterious array grew increasingly intense, the auras of Muli and the other two turned ethereal, and the next moment, they completely vanished from before everyone's eyes. Meanwhile, the three disciples of the Heart Flame Sect walked toward the array.
However, doing just this would not maximize the effects of the Essence of Gathering Splendor. One had to seize the time to cultivate on the second day so that the body could absorb it to the greatest extent.
"We will go look for the God of Thunder, but we are also going to the Source of the Blood Pool—as for you and that person cultivating at the Source of the Blood Pool!" Chen Cheng gave Wei Chong a meaningful look.
Looking at the hung-up call, Qin Sangruo let out a soft sigh. He really hadn't changed at all; he still had that stinking temper just like two years ago.
Tian Xi and Xiao Wuqi exchanged glances, simultaneously revealing expressions of disdain that seemed to say, "What is there to be proud of in that?"
The team members nodded in unison. The gaps in strength between ability users of the same rank were actually quite vast. Both being upper-tier tier-fours, every team member present was confident they could take on several ordinary upper-tier tier-four users single-handedly.
"Ahem... washing my face." He cleared his throat to mask the crying tone in his voice. To prevent Wan Jin from noticing his reddened eye sockets, he had no intention of turning around.
A trace of joyous smile appeared on his face. He pulled the blanket off the bed and spread it on the floor, placed Azi gently upon it, and picked up his toolbox to continue patrolling the fence.
Those bullshit experts claimed that price hikes were meant to control smoking and benefit people's health—bullshit, they had completely shamelessly lost all face. He didn't even need to buy cigarettes; the ones he received as tribute alone were more than he could ever finish smoking.
Even toward regional overlords like the Marquis of Chu or the Earl of Chuyun, they showed not the slightest bit of awe and acted with total uninhibited abandon. Yet the moment the State of Xi was mentioned, expressions of reverence appeared on every merchant's face. When mentioning the sovereign, Yao Yun, they even used honorifics, calling him the "King of Xi" rather than merely the "Earl of Xi."
Xu Ping'an nodded, not disputing this point. Including Professor Wood, there were only eleven researchers in the institute, all of whom were engaged in research related to carbon-based batteries—a fact Xu Ping'an had already witnessed with his own eyes.
Just at that moment, Dai Anlan's adjutant hurried over in a rush, panting heavily, and came to Dai Anlan's side to speak with anxious urgency.
Furthermore, Yuan Qingqiu had already stepped forward to take Fang Qiong's hand, her tone softening considerably. Her gaze remained sharp, but of course, outward courtesy was not to be neglected.
Orochimaru observed with meticulous detail. Earth Grudge Fear mask monsters had emerged from both of his shoulders to help him clear away the summoning creatures.
The long-bearded elder laughed wildly, suddenly soaring high into the air, gripping his long saber with both hands, and slashing fiercely down toward Xiao Nan.
"I'm just giving you a heads-up, so watch yourself." Zou Xueyao was a source of trouble; the times Chen Erdeng had been targeted recently were all thanks to her.
