Volume 1, Chapter 30: The So-Called Commoners

The competition is not until the day after tomorrow, so anticipation for the finals is high. Many people have placed bets, making them even more invested in who will emerge as the champion.

However, the point calculation systems for these two realms are completely different. To prevent disciples from maliciously farming points, each ranking is distributed based on a yearly cycle; even for those in the top ten, the points awarded each year are capped at just over ten thousand.

"You are courting death." The next moment, Zhang Xiang and Xiao Yi shot out from the dragon-bone airship, their faces filled with fury.

"This... can't she and I simply pursue our goals without interfering with each other? And even if we don't interfere, it doesn't mean we have to completely ignore one another or refuse to offer help, right?" Liu Yinghuan asked with a deep frown.

"Good heavens! I have actually lived for a time with the noble General Sekrian, who is favored by Poseidon. It is truly hard to believe!" Cetunus exclaimed again in excitement.

With that, Cai Shishi and Lin Jiuzhou stepped out of the ranks and sat down cross-legged, facing each other. As veteran disciples, they were already well-versed in the Soul-Raising Realm and instantly delved into it.

The Purple Flame Treasure Palace is the most eye-catching and alluring place within the Purple Flame Cave Heaven.

Laughter echoed throughout the grand hall, yet this sound was chilling enough to make one’s heart tremble and nearly suffocate.

At the same time, everyone in the valley turned their gazes toward the source of the sound. When they saw the corpse clutched in Baili Dengfeng’s hand, they were instantly struck with horror.

It was like comparing a true divine dragon to a fake; the difference between the two was vast, spanning countless miles.

The moment Empress Dowager Ci'an spoke, Li Hongzhang understood. He realized that she was warning him: he must keep this person here at all costs, or else there would be no need for further discussion.

Skye said that although she was terrified, she listened to Wang Kai and did not stubbornly insist on going with him.

Yi Ye’s body plummeted rapidly toward the ground. The cracks in the Tai'e sword in my hand grew wider until it shattered into fragments and dissipated into the air. I took a deep breath and touched the blade of the sword. "My friend, you have been with me for too long; it is time for you to rest."

"Xia Nan, I just ran into your brother outside the door," she said softly. That was why she had been in such a hurry to find him.

"Hmph!" Li Jinrui barely suppressed her anger, huffing several times before picking up her cup to take a few more sips of tea.

Most worrying was the fact that Su Yingmei had heard Shen Feng mention this matter before; they intended to start in China and then open up the Asian market.

Mindie said that her training with her master was very disciplined, with the margin of error in their timing never exceeding a minute.

Li Danruo’s fluttering heart finally settled. She let out a secret sigh of relief, wanting to say something but swallowing the words, merely nodding with a smile.

I looked at him without speaking further, my heart a complex tangle of love and hate, affection and enmity.

The disadvantage is the lack of a foundation in the automotive industry, which could very well become the main excuse for some to sabotage the establishment of the Samsung joint-venture car factory.

The result was as expected; Xu Mengmeng replied: "I am the opposite of you. My brother never cares about me. He scolds me, hits me, and never reflects on himself. I truly feel desperate."

Li Feng thought to himself that he could manage this. As for the songs, he just had to sing according to the meaning. Sure enough, Li Feng’s self-introduction worked: he first spoke of how difficult it had been to come for the bride, claiming his feet were blistered, then talked about how deep the affection between him and Jiajia was, accusing them of being too cruel to block him. Finally, he promised that after marrying Jiajia, he would be filial to his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

Earthlings are weak—extremely weak. Guman managed to thrive here in just a few months. It is said that the black magic practiced here only exists in Thailand, so he claimed to be Thai.

I winked at her, and Liu Ziling winked back. We blinked at each other for a long time, yet nothing was communicated.

Her wine-red bangs hung over her eyes, and her unbound long hair fell behind her. She tilted her head intentionally, revealing a pair of clear, watery eyes. Her soft, pink lips were slightly pursed, and her delicate, oval-shaped face was framed by long, thick eyelashes that fluttered like a Barbie doll’s.

"The leading official from the Health Department hasn't arrived yet, so everyone is waiting for him," Yu Tangchang said with an awkward smile.

As Lu Feifei walked, she saw a white car ahead. Upon seeing it, she felt as if she had found a savior and hurried forward, terrified that the car would leave if she were too slow.

Seeing this, Wan Qing retreated outside the range of the tribulation clouds. A Fire Spirit Fruit melted in his hand, turning into spiritual liquid that he injected directly into the giant egg. He had added fuel to the fire of the heavenly tribulation.

Paul Greengrass first gave a brief introduction of his editing approach, followed by the staff playing samples. Everyone discussed the footage segment by segment: how to select different materials, whether certain shots needed to be kept, and how to transition between different plot points, among other things.

Shen Lijun had no idea how to react and could only let Fang Tianjiu lead the way. Yet, this feeling was so wonderful that she was deeply intoxicated, wishing it would never end.

Relying on the fact that the Qi state had lost its ruler and a new monarch had just succeeded to the throne, King Hui of Qin sought passage through Han and Wei, appointing Ying Hua as general to lead an expedition against Qi. In the battle of Sangqiu between Qi and Qin, Qin suffered a crushing defeat. For several years thereafter, Qin dared not challenge Qi.

"My identity hasn't even been made public yet, and it has already caused so much trouble. If it were revealed that I am the great cousin of the future emperor, wouldn't it bring even more trouble?" Li Zhang couldn't help but mutter to himself with a headache.
