“But you shouldn’t be fighting. Someone else’s boyfriend—how could that ever be more important than your own future…” In that moment, I nagged like an old mother, convinced that fighting was simply inexcusable.

Qin Yu spoke with unwavering resolve, his gaze fixed beyond the railing. He had no desire to see Xia Yiyi’s pitiful, pleading face. If he didn’t look, no matter how she begged, he wouldn’t go to their e-sports club. With the rivalry against Gale advancing to this stage, it was impossible for him to go back now.

Back then, it was the eldest brother who recognized his worth, giving him thorough protection and dignity—and most importantly, the familial affection he had longed for.

“Oh, really?” At that moment, Shangguan Feng took off his jacket, clearly preparing for a showdown.

When we returned to the villa that evening, it was already close to midnight. Upon seeing the warm lights, all the exhaustion and irritation in my heart melted away, leaving only a sense of deep familial warmth.

Before anyone could roar in anger, Jess, on the verge of collapse, spoke first. He could almost feel the bullet grazing his scalp—never in his life had he been so close to death.

“You may not care about fame or fortune, but some people care about those things a great deal. If this technology gets publicity, it will be good for you too.”

“He Xu said it’s fine, let’s get back to the main topic. He’d explain everything to them later once we’re home. He told Liu Ling that she probably wouldn’t understand the upcoming conversation anyway, so she might as well go cook, and make plenty of good food—use up all the valuable ingredients at the Wu Royal Family’s place, no need to be polite. Treat this place as your own home; after all, we’re family in every sense.”

Too much time had been spent appraising the Xuanhuang Jade. At that very moment, Monk Guanhai arrived, just in time to block Qin Mu’s path.

Upon hearing Hu Qingsong’s words, Master Zhen Xiaolan cried even harder, her performance so convincing it would put any actor to shame.

Of course, with his years of battle-hardened experience, how could he not have thought of all she mentioned?

An Ran looked at Wen Yi and shook his head. Clearly, if things progressed this way, it would be out of his control as well.

Yet, in truth, this sudden conflict could, from a certain perspective, be seen as the year-end ranking battle. The top hundred core disciples were essentially the top hundred in the entire Myriad Sword Sect.

Watching his friend fall, Bai Li Tusu turned grief into strength. With a single blow, he knocked the maid aside and charged forward.

Qin Yu was not surprised by this. In the ethereal heavens, Myriad Sword Sect had no influence and could never keep Ye Qiu restrained.

Keisha, queen of the angelic race and embodiment of light, forcibly swallowed a dragon’s head whole.

Number One oversaw overall surveillance, Number Two handled biological research, Number Three was for training, Number Four focused on high-tech research, Number Five on pharmaceuticals, Number Six housed Dong Hao, Number Seven stored various materials, while Number Eight was for spatial research. For now, these were all the uses he could think of; new purposes would be added as needed in the future.

The weather grew ever hotter. By June, southerners were already frying eggs on the pavement. For those who hated the heat, it was nothing short of torture.

He saw Su Nianshuang cradling a mangled, bloody mass in her hands. Blood dripped steadily, and she was smiling—a grisly, executioner’s grin.

He knew very well that with this mid-grade immortal sword, he was at least three times stronger than when wielding a low-grade one. Evil Spiritzi was now far beyond his ability to handle. Moreover, this was the Nine Nether Sect’s territory; they outmatched Cloud Sword Gate both in numbers and elite power. If it came to a fight, they would surely suffer a crushing defeat.

Yet, under the persistence of Gu Siqin and Xuanyuan Jingyang, Gu Xuan Manor had, in a short time, truly become a famed organization renowned throughout the land.

“Director Shanzhu, you’re already the director of the cattle ranch at the foot of the mountain—why can’t you drive a good car? Don’t we have two cars at the ranch?” At this moment, Wang Sandao cheerfully questioned Shanzhu.

A barren wasteland. A severed, blood-soaked head. A battered, broken body. This was the corpse of Sikong Yidi. All around it, the air reeked with the stench of blood.

“Of course, first and foremost, you wished to save me, so you’re my benefactor. But you lacked the ability, whereas that Bodhisattva statue of yours contains tremendous mysterious power. It was precisely that power that shielded me from the wrath of divine thunder—I took refuge beneath its awe.”

“My lord, this man must be a peerless powerhouse. Even your own aura falls slightly short of his.” The fox maiden fixed her eyes on the black statue, her gaze shifting between Qingcang and the sculpture, as if weighing her husband against the mysterious figure.

Wang Sandao wore pajamas, leaving the front open and revealing two prominent, alluring contours on her chest—not especially large, but firm and captivating.

Shirley shrugged indifferently. Many Africans looked alike, many Asians looked alike, and so did many Europeans—nothing unusual about it.

Over twenty people revealed their magical treasures at once. Following the strategy discussed in the main hall, they spread out in a defensive formation.

“Earthlings”—these three syllables were no secret in Central State. It was rumored that every chosen one hailed from Earth, and whoever triumphed would not only be recorded in the annals of Central State, but would also return to Earth, gaining the power to traverse worlds.

“It’s understandable that you two were unaware of Master’s presence,” said Master Zongyuan. “After all, it’s been sixty years since he retired as abbot.”

As for those looking to settle accounts with me, I was happy to oblige. Some things had to be confronted—since they were at my door, I intended to leave a lasting impression.

With the upcoming world championship, as long as I didn’t slack off and took first place, my fame in society would grow exponentially.

Seeing the situation, I realized this beast already saw the beggar boy and me as its prey. Escape would inevitably mean a fierce struggle, so I steeled myself for the fight.

I could no longer see where his body was; I wanted to dodge, but had no idea where to move.

They weren’t worried about Qin Hao’s safety. After all, his godlike image was already deeply ingrained in everyone’s mind.

After getting drunk, he vaguely remembered someone trying to stop the match, but he forced himself up and continued the competition.

Passing the entrance, the guards immediately recognized that white-haired young man, just as they had when he arrived earlier with Xu Biao. They bowed at once, allowing him to enter the Mercenary Guild.

And so everything slowly unfolded again. No one knew how long things would develop in this way, but it seemed the time had finally come.
