Volume 1, Chapter 30: I Want to Hear You Call Me, Brother

Zhao Lei's voice pulled me back to reality. He wanted to keep me company, but he was soon called away by someone else.

In the long-standing opposition between the two sides, neither had dared to extend their reach into the sports world; it was a red line. But since the Soviet side believed North America had crossed that line, they reasoned that if you can dish it out, I can certainly take it.

If those four million could be handed out as bonuses to Zhu Ganglie and his cohorts, those eerie creatures would likely be driven mad with joy.

However, Yu Qing did not want to burn bridges completely, so before she left, she left her assistant behind for Shen Nuo.

Moreover, she disliked owing favors, even to the master, senior brothers, and senior sisters who cherished her most.

He finished speaking and walked toward the kitchen, not giving Shen Nuo a chance to see his face. When he emerged, his expression had returned to normal, making it impossible to tell whether he had just been crying or not.

"I see," Urahara Kisuke frowned slightly, then suddenly asked another question.

In the Huazhen Institute, Tai Jia encountered the imprisoned Five Heavenly Demons. These five were disciples of Fu Lidian, the Saint Shaman of the Linbai Barbarian Lands in Great Yue. Each of the Five Heavenly Demons possessed unique lethal techniques. When Fu Lidian ruled the Barbarian Lands, they were the sharp blades in his hand, having slain countless enemies.

In fact, the Soul Society did possess a ritual—or perhaps a special spiritual art—for the unification of person and blade.

Nan Wan took a deep breath, struggling to appear calm, pretending the embarrassing scene that had just occurred never happened.

Now, he had over two thousand yuan left in his hands. After gifting three thousand to Liu Hai, this was the entirety of his worldly wealth.

"Most contestants can generally simulate the shape of an image using flames, but the difficulty of this round lies in injecting spirit and momentum into the simulated humanoid figure, making it feel more lifelike, as if one were seeing a real person," Hua Yan said slowly, leaning back in his chair and watching everything in the arena.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a thousand elite cavalrymen reined in their horses less than three miles from Fanyang City. Han Zhong rode out from the formation and looked up at Fanyang County in the distance.

As the old man finished speaking, a circular platform slowly rose from the stage. On the platform, inside a crystal glass container, a fiery red stone pillar stood silently. Upon it, a drop of liquid as crimson as blood flowed slowly, as if it possessed a spirit of its own.

The reason he didn't spell it out for Ji Yining—who was on the verge of being killed by her own curiosity—and instead kept her in suspense, was merely to preserve the mystery. After dark, he could use it to bargain with her, aiming to win her over with ease.

Unfortunately, it was too late; we had all fallen into the trap. Our bodies grew weaker, and our vision blurred. In the end, the only images appearing before us were a few slender, black shadows.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan released his soul power from between his brows. Sure enough, he sensed something in this space that made his soul surge with excitement. Xiao Yue and Zhou Gutian probed as well, both revealing expressions of delight.

In a daze, Lei Mingxuan recalled the investigation she had conducted years ago to understand the emotions in her heart. One of the findings made her realize that her feelings could not be easily spoken aloud.

Just then, Ji Yining stepped closer, and through the gap in the door pushed open by the maid, she finally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Her soft, boneless body pressed against Lin Yu, the two mounds of softness on her chest covering his face.

Han Xiao couldn't help but pick it up and sniff; feeling the faint, lingering scent of Ling Ruoshui's body upon it, his heart couldn't help but race.

Suddenly, Yu Hua Tian's expression changed once again. He spread his golden wings and retreated like a flash of golden lightning.

With the final sentence, Ye Wushuang stepped forward, his body lunging ahead as he reached out to grab Di Xuan.

A golden sword beam over ten meters long illuminated the sky, carrying terrifying, violent power as it crushed toward the sorcerers like a force leveling everything in its path.

Killing any creature would yield a Holy Mark or a fragment of one. This rule was correct, but within it, there was a prerequisite.

With a plan in place, the team began to move out. The advance reconnaissance team was the first to arrive near the target and transmitted the situation back on schedule.

Not only him, but his fellow brothers Ye Lei and Guan Hui also raised their middle fingers in unison as a gift.

During his growth, he had been constantly monitored by the Phantom Sky Corporation. A portion of his memories, including those originating from Luo Tianhuan, had been secretly sealed deep within Ye Huan's memory.

Having finished speaking, the elderly doctor coughed violently again, her face turning crimson as if she were about to suffocate.

He was right to think so, because after all, it was Qin Yi who had imprisoned them, leading the Ming family to face such a great catastrophe.

However, Qin Zhuo watched with immense heartache. He moved his lips, wanting to say something, but found he could utter nothing.

Si Yan, is that name for you to call? A wave of disgust rose in Liu Siyan's heart; this person was truly shameless.

The four guards withdrew their hands. Di Yunfeng had been beaten to within an inch of his life; if they had continued, he might have stopped breathing and died right there.

After marrying and having children, Zhang Liqin suddenly had an epiphany. She went to Naishan County and Yunyang City separately, leaving behind evidence while sleeping with several influential men. Now, Zhang Liqin's status was no longer what it once was.

Yuzhu was not a woman who would let herself be bullied. Lu Hong had not taken a main wife, nor had he brought them into the house according to the rites for concubines. To put it bluntly, they were all equally lowly; why should Zhilan dare to ride roughshod over her? She was pregnant and had been with Lu Hong first, yet she had to endure Zhilan's temper.

The chill of the floorboards was transmitted to him, while the weight of the burly men pressing on his back held the same cold temperature.

A full-metal exoskeleton encased the pilot; each pilot was an evolved "New Human" and a member of the upper echelons of the Unbeliever Sect.

Di Yunfeng glanced at the green-faced demon hovering in the air. He didn't know its rank, but it clearly wasn't his match. He didn't spare it another look and flew directly toward the mountaintop.

General Midel spoke, leaving Yang Zhe feeling puzzled and unable to understand what he was talking about.

"This is for you. It's what you deserve." Lan Ya kept her hand outstretched, not taking back the check.

Da Meng suddenly turned back and growled at those people, full of threat. The few who had wanted to pet it were instantly frightened pale, backing away with cold sweat breaking out.
