Volume 1 Chapter 23 Teaching the Madman a Lesson

Zhao Yue had no time to talk to him; he walked over and began manipulating the flickering instruments, having taken courses on handling emergency situations at sea. The severe weather outside made the task doubly difficult, but he decided to give it his all and race against time.

Seeing the intense expression on his face, those around him dared not disturb him.

Su Jinxia watched Zhao Yue’s operations from the sidelines. The truth was, the construction of ships in this era was far too simple, and the operating systems were not nearly as complex. It seemed the current state of affairs was merely due to mechanical aging. She felt she could repair it herself, but under these circumstances, if she stepped in, she would have to explain how she knew how to fix a ship. After all, a girl from the city...

When its forelimbs retracted once more, a mature Emperor Fruit, surrounded by swirling lines of chaotic laws, hovered in its palm. A rich, potent fragrance of an Emperor-level medicinal herb permeated the air.

In truth, no matter the circumstances, being forgotten is inherently a painful experience.

One must realize, what is the difference between bowing one's head to admit a mistake and explicitly stating that one has a character flaw? Especially in China, it is always better to make a clean break from the very beginning than to wait until the end only to face a humiliating breakup.

"Officer Kihara..." Seeing a familiar face, Mouri Ran finally felt at ease, though her voice carried a hint of sobbing; she had clearly been terrified.

Conan sat opposite Kihara Yasue—this was not his first time here, though he had visited rarely—watching the man, who did not look particularly old, lounging lazily on the sofa.

"Do you have other business for coming here this time?" Yu Heizi took a comfortable sip of Longjing tea, his eyes squinting in contentment.

This heavy blow seemed to tear a hole in the illusion, and only then did Lei Yan and Ouyang Shaogong notice him.

"Is that the organ tuner?" Sonoko, who knew a great deal about the performance, asked quickly.

At this moment, he was lying on a patch of open ground halfway up the mountain, hands clasped behind his head, gazing leisurely at the blue sky.

Gu Yue screamed in his heart, as if shouting at himself, or perhaps at the spirit of his demonic tribulation.

After learning of the situation, Zhongba, the guardian of Lhasa, journeyed alone to the Ancient Sacred Mountain to seek help from the Ancient Ape Heavenly King, hoping he would emerge to assist in completely annihilating these invaders.

It was past 1:00 AM, and the streets had grown quiet, with no pedestrians passing by for a long time. In the silent night, on Feilong Bridge not far from XXXX University, two figures appeared suddenly like ghosts.

Many scoffed at this; in their view, a piece of grass carp was not worth fifty yuan, or even five yuan. Even those who remained likely did so only for the sake of the so-called compensation—like the middle-aged nouveau riche.

The Hegemon had an incredibly high spirit and an innate, indomitable pride, making him impossible to associate with ordinary people. Thus, his life was lonely and desolate.

Tu Shu was becoming increasingly certain, gradually understanding Tang Yiquan's techniques: the cluster of blue flames on his forehead was likely something similar to the "Haoran" energy of his own Heaven’s Eye; both were used to reinforce the body and enhance physical capabilities.

Chi Lian shook her head, her gaze filled with stubbornness: "There are some things I will never regret." Just like meeting you.

Upon hearing this, Solonado frowned slightly. He rubbed his chin, eyes narrowed, scanning the parasol and the lush green grass covered in flowers.

As he drew closer, he could sense many hidden auras. Just as Sun Siming had said, there were many sentries hidden here; perhaps he had been discovered the moment he arrived in the western suburbs.

Although the Grass Snake Spirit Beast had discovered the exact location of the poison mist, its identity had been exposed. It fought with all its might to escape Poison King Mountain, managing to relay all the intelligence it had gathered to Master Huaizhi and General Laitian.

Yi Le was completely unaware of all this; at that moment, he was already fast asleep in the guest room of Aki Tomoya's house.

"Ten days? Then we had better hurry!" Kunpeng Zi said after hearing Li Yuyun's words.

Although the cost of producing a single "All-Knowing Lamp" for Digo the Madman reached as high as 270,000 holy crystals, there was not a single servant in his courtyard. Only many golems worked tirelessly in the studio, swinging hammers and chisels without a moment's rest.

"What! You have already discovered the tracks of the Turks?" Murong Changyu exclaimed in shock.

The greatest difference between a curse master and a mage is that the former possesses stronger control; they are not on the same path as a mage who focuses purely on output. A curse master leans more toward a combination of control and output.

"Young Master, why waste words with them? Just kill them! I don't fear whoever is pulling the strings behind the scenes. If one comes, I kill one; if a pair comes, I kill a pair!" Qin Shubao steadied his horizontal blade, waiting only for Yang Hao's command to charge.

The other side was still using traditional methods to manufacture weapons, which looked truly ridiculous. Did they not realize that truly powerful weapons should be a fusion of biology and technology? That was the true trend.

A voice in the depths of Yang Hao's heart told him that something was amiss, but the auspicious hour could not be delayed. With no time to think, he could only nod in agreement with Yang Zhao's words.

"What? I only remember the competition ended, he ambushed me, and Lu Lu blocked it for me. Afterward, Grandpa Chopper treated Lu Lu. How could there be this story of me punching him?" Lu Qi asked with some confusion, struggling to recall the scene as he pointed at Lin Cheng Zhan.

"How much do you know about the Sect Leader's body double?" Cao Yue turned the topic back to this matter.

However, Nie Dan did not plan to stay in a hotel for the next two days. Having rarely returned, he intended to stay at Cao Jianguo's place for a couple of days.
