Volume 1, Chapter 29: Oh, I Thank You So Much!

Professor Quirrell is dead. His body was discovered in the restricted corridor on the third floor, yet no one knows what he was doing there.

Hearing Lu Qingming’s words, Lu Qingxin paused. The attack he had intended to launch halted, and he turned to scan his surroundings. His gaze eventually settled on Lu Bingqin, though he soon shook his head.

Li Shaoyang had not fully figured this out either, but one thing was clear: no matter how the tasks were divided, everyone had to fulfill their own duties. It was far too inefficient for everyone to be busy with the same thing.

The Gray-Robed Envoy of the Heavenly Dao also sensed the shift in the heavens. He stared into the distant sky, only to see a dark shadow falling from above. In the blink of an eye, the shadow vanished, reappearing directly above his head.

The Young Sovereign knew her own weaknesses, which was why she sent Fang Zhong to retrieve the Bodhi tree. Even so, there was no guarantee she would remain unscathed. Zhang Daoling had come under the name of Zhang Shun; whether it was truly to help or simply to resolve his own inner conflict and bring closure to a past-life entanglement, it was hard to say.

"Who?" Mary asked curiously. Seeing the smile on Li Shaoyang’s face, she couldn't help but feel a flicker of anticipation.

Even in my stupidity, I could tell the person was ill-intentioned. I stepped back, but the moment I did, he lunged forward, grabbed my arm, and clamped his hand around my throat. His black fingernails dug into my flesh, and though I felt a sharp, stinging pain, I could not shake his grip.

Two years ago, I was ranked quite low among the district’s deputy heads, so I was under his management and had to follow his arrangements.

It is said that tournament organizers avoid placing top contenders in the same group, yet this time they did the exact opposite, putting three star competitors in the very first group.

Lan Jue looked at Xu Mo with some surprise. It seemed Xu Mo really was an outsider, unfamiliar even with the currency.

"It’s too late, isn’t it? After all, I’ve been bitten by zombies so many times." Peyton sat slumped in his seat like a dried-up fish that had lost all its dreams.

Because of the distance, Si Xue did not clearly see that the two men were the same ones from whom she and Huang Mei had tried to get contact information.

As he was about to land, he lifted his right hand slightly, and a miniature whirlwind rose from beneath his feet, holding him steadily in the air.

Looking at Luo Ming, Yan Shiyun felt she had no choice; when she had her own troubles, she had dragged him into it, and now it was only right to return the favor.

Katy and Gussman discussed the battle. Gussman claimed that his own elimination didn't matter, but Xu Mo and Ling were ranked first and second in their Temple of Olympians. If they were defeated by lower-ranked members from other temples in the upcoming fights, the reputation of their Chloe Temple of Olympians would be ruined by their hands.

He desperately wanted to see the true face of the fallen princess, but he could not win in a fight, and his "money power" was useless.

"Zhang Sanniang, there is something you must help me with." Tang Yan struck a pose, sat down leisurely, and began waving his fan.

But what he did not expect was that the All-Things Demon, blinded by his own arrogance, had failed to cherish this greatest of opportunities.

He Chuan remained silent. He could not afford such compensation. As for the five hundred thousand he had received as an advance, he had already spent it. Forget about returning it—even earning that much money again would be difficult for him.

She was not one to be overly sentimental. For the sake of completing the mission successfully, she had everyone accept the Water of Life; after all, the road ahead was not safe, and they might encounter further dangers.

Once the Canghai Divine Realm absorbed the pill essence, it was forcibly converted into Luo Qianqiu’s core divine energy. His wounds began to close rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the thirty percent of his combat power that had been lost began to recover by nearly ten percent, visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, the holy artifact on Dongfang Xue’s person seemed to sense the situation she faced. A dense chill of ice slowly seeped out. Dongfang Xue was slightly surprised, but then, seeming to understand, she channeled the icy energy into her shield of ice.

This familiar sensation caused Zhou Yingying’s heart to tremble again, and the sense of relief she had just felt instantly tightened into tension.

The group was shocked upon hearing this, all of them filled with admiration for Du Wu. Lin Chong turned his face toward Zhu Wu, who gave a slight nod.

The soldiers wore bitter smiles. They had only decided to report the news because they saw that Dongfang Xiao’s manner of speech was extraordinary, only to be met with a scolding. They could only curse their bad luck and nod along.

Before I could react, Bouchard walked in, planted his greatsword on the ground, and held the hilt with both hands, looking majestic and insufferably arrogant.

Although I rushed forward as well, this cavalry lance was truly unwieldy, and I had no choice but to keep dodging the enemy’s pursuit.

Today is Valentine’s Day, a holiday that torments the single. Young Master Qi is also a bachelor, and the thought alone brings tears! Single brothers and sisters, make your move quickly! May all lovers in the world be united, growing old together and never parting. May love endure until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, as steadfast as the sun and the heart.

I couldn't clearly see what the shadow was, but the moment the person turned, Yu Xin felt a jolt of alarm. She immediately withdrew her soft sword and stared intently at Shan Junhao, who stood before her.

The sound of weapons clashing rang out incessantly, and the invisible aura of their combat tore the surrounding trees to shreds.
