Volume One, Chapter Sixty: The Banquet

Shen Chaowu possessed a stunning figure, exquisite beauty, and an exceptional aura. Even if one ignored her silhouette and face, anyone with eyes could discern her extraordinary status. At the very least, she was wealthy.

At that moment, Ning Yusheng recognized the bag Shen Chaowu was holding and exclaimed in shock, “MEA! Is that bag from MEA?”

MEA was an Italian luxury handbag brand, famed for its ten white butterflies adorning the bag, but what made it truly priceless were the sapphires embedded in the crocodile leather. Only three such bags existed in the world, and MEA’s current price soared to forty million. This was no trifling matter—it was real, solid gold and silver. Even with Ning Yusheng’s affluent family...

The Huaxia Martial Arts Academy was known as the dream factory for martial artists because it housed a hundred thousand martial arts manuals, techniques, and skills—all available.

Yang Tian, still dazed, was roused by the sudden commotion in the classroom. He blinked open his bleary eyes and glanced at the newcomer, who seemed familiar—likely the student council leader, the most powerful official among them.

After all, Lin Yating had vanished from the screen for over a month, prompting many to speculate whether she had offended some powerful figure or encountered trouble. Otherwise, why would she disappear so abruptly?

As for Yin Songzhe, Su Ming felt no guilt at all. That fellow had initiated so many times—it was about time to make him uncomfortable.

Having said this, the old man strode briskly into his house, cane in hand—he was heading home.

From another perspective, with the divine tree revived, collecting chakra and natural energy could be seen as a release of pressure.

Had they known earlier, they would never have joined forces against the Yunji Immortal Stone Shop, for Hengtong Commercial Firm was not an entity to be trifled with.

Liang Yin lowered her dagger-wielding hand, breathing heavily. Fragrant sweat mixed with wolf’s blood on her cheeks, dripping onto the ground. After half an hour of slaughter, she was drained.

The mighty Kusanagi sword had just been used but had little effect. It seemed she would have to exert herself more, or else things would turn dire.

If the heavy crossbow could be cracked and mass-produced, it would become a formidable weapon against the Hidden Realm.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Hao channeled all his power into the withered bamboo sword. Instantly, the sword in his hand glowed with brilliant blue light. Without hesitation, he raised his sword and charged at the giant blade.

Thus, they paid little attention to Lin Chen’s presence. Even though Lin Chen had reached the ninth realm of divine abilities, they still believed he was merely average for this assessment.

With a thunderous voice, a colossal palm covered the void, spanning the multiverse and grabbed all the infinite main gods in one sweep.

“Tch.” Herakles curled his lips, then raised his hands and gathered a flicker of flame, ready to strike back.

The Soulbreaker looked down on everyone, believing none of these girls could compare to his blade hidden in the ring.

Mars’s gravity was only thirty-eight percent that of Earth’s. Standing on the Martian surface, Xue Yue felt as if a layer of shackles had been removed, leaving her lighter and more relaxed.

Chelsea captain Cahill, apart from that bizarre own goal in stoppage time during the first half, outperformed his counterpart Stones in all other moments.

“Godslayer Mode—Sever.” After Feng Xiaoxuan, Chu Miaomiao finally approached, her titanium shield replaced by a colossal sword. A dense killing aura radiated from her. The fusion of the god of war’s will and slaughter consciousness in Godslayer Mode would rapidly boost Chu Miaomiao’s combat prowess.

“Wait! Sir, wait for me! And, sir, which way are we going?” Firefly hurried up from behind.

Yet, it was impossible to reject her outright. Chen Xiang’s words alone warranted closer ties, for through her, he could learn things he had always longed to understand.

“Ancestor,” the figure in the black robe croaked as if his throat were parched, trembling all over, then quickly turned and fled away.

With Li Weidong’s power, it was incredibly difficult to channel true energy through the brain’s vital point. If an ordinary person attempted it, they would almost certainly end up a vegetable.

Gu Yuxi cooled the hot tea a little before placing it on the table before Gong Xici, the gentle clink of the cup echoing faintly.

Taiyi did not appear. Upon sensing the aura from those two deadly weapons, he uttered a note of surprise.

Then, Zheng Yiren stepped forward, took a pill, and popped it into her mouth. Immediately, she tasted a sweet flavor and a delicate aroma.

Indeed, they were not philanthropists. As long as the people here did not die at their hands, they had plenty of ways to distance themselves and claim they were merely passing by.

Is it really wise to entrust such an important matter to someone who hasn’t received proper education, Yuxi sister?

Part of it was seeing Yu Fei stoop to save Da Huang, but more than that, the animals were grateful that Yu Fei had rescued them from humans. Sometimes, animals seemed to understand gratitude better than people.

With that, Li Sen ignored the guards and stepped forward, leading Ming Dao directly into the headquarters of the Star Gathering Trade Alliance.

Of course, players couldn’t PK on this map, so there was no worry about friendly fire; but for these fox spirits, life would be tough.

The centaur took the lead, entering the tall grass near the middle lane. He didn’t immediately cross the grass but waited for the crocodile at the front to enter, then doubled back himself.

Regardless of the technique, for Li Sen, owning the ‘Diamond Demon-Subduing Technique’ alongside his own ‘Diamond Body Protection Technique’ would make future physical cultivation much easier.

In the chaos, the seamless map expanded automatically as players proceeded, making it impossible to feel they were in a virtual game world.

When Qi Tianxiang and Lü Shanzun entered Liu Zhenguo’s office together, Liu Zhenguo was sternly instructing the office director, his demeanor and tone full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if something had failed to meet expectations.

The entire army was ordered to rest at the lush riverside bank ahead. The autumn heat was intense; infantry washed their hands and faces, while cavalry tended to their horses before resting.

“Their NPC legions have retreated, leaving only players to fight us to the end. They must be trying to buy time.” Life Is Like a Play explained with a smile.

Long Xingzhan’s expression grew complicated—these memories seemed to unsettle him. It had been a long time since anyone had asked him to recount his past.

If she knew that the two before her—one was the mastermind behind the murder of the Zhao family’s young master, the other the direct cause of her brother’s death—would she still be so calm in conversation?

As soon as Fu Sinian entered, his devilish features bore a slightly frivolous smile, yet it was impossible to dislike him.
