Chapter 24: Unpredictable Moods

As expected, no one backed down. The dark elf commander was confident that his attack was far superior to his opponent’s; even if neither side dodged, the enemy would inevitably suffer the greater injury.

Afterward, Wu Fan found a planet teeming with spiritual energy in the Douzhuan Galaxy and descended. He and Luo Shi had reached an agreement to postpone their expedition for twenty years.

Looking down, Bai Yu discovered that Xue’er and the others were not in any real danger; they had simply been immobilized, as if by a pressure-point strike.

Cultivation techniques and divine abilities of the blazing sun attribute are often devastatingly powerful, but as the saying goes, that which is too rigid is easily broken.

The Tiandou Sect had two hundred and sixty-five dwellings and a total of three hundred and twenty-three disciples. Given that they had chosen to join such a sect, there were few decent people among them, so Lin Ye did not spare a single one.

Wu Fan had never discovered, nor had he ever utilized, the hidden lethal mysteries contained within the dragon patterns on his sword hilt.

Lin Ye smiled as he spoke, pointing toward the pond. "The pond sits in the fire position, much like a pot full of water with a fire burning steadily beneath it. Naturally, it is very difficult for fish to survive in water that is being boiled by fire."

This was the unspoken understanding and trust that had formed between the two over more than a decade of being nearly inseparable.

Yang Tian let out a low growl, his hands forming seals as he pressed them fiercely against his chest. As his vitality burned, a golden light erupted from his crown, shooting straight into the high heavens and drawing together dark clouds, weaving lightning, and rolling thunder.

Dong Wanqing was struck by a sudden alarm and nearly trembled, but she quickly forced herself to remain calm.

With no other choice, Huihui had to settle for second best, joining Lily’s team to preach while incidentally escaping Youyou’s pestering.

The sunlight dimmed once more, and night reclaimed the Twilight Forest. The "Immortal Flying from Beyond the Heavens" team welcomed their second night in the forest—which would also be their last, as the qualifiers would conclude the following evening, leaving them no further chance to appreciate the nights of the Twilight Forest.

"It’s fine. These twin hammers are just ornaments here anyway. Since he can lift them, let him have them," Chi Yuan’er said generously.

"Are you saying that this 'Sea Serpent' will soon transform into a jiao, and then, after experiencing the series of events you mentioned, it can transform into a dragon?" Su Yi naturally understood what Shi meant.

It was not that he couldn't catch up to him, but that he hadn't yet pushed himself to his limit. He possessed the secret of an extra jump compared to others, he had the Spacetime Hub, he had trusted companions by his side, and he had months upon months of time to cultivate—yet he was still inferior to Modu.

"Grandmaster, I will not give up!" Tong Youyu naturally knew that his chances were far greater than Song Yulong’s. After all, as long as that wind dragon named Fenghua was still there, he would have an opportunity to act.

Until a cultivator reaches the secrets of the Void Refinement Stage, the origin energy within source crystals is indeed invisible; Ye Feng was no exception to this rule.

In a massive power like the Taibai Divine Sword Sect, which had existed for tens of thousands of years, the relationships were complex and intricately woven, and every such connection had its source.

Years of trade had long since lulled the Japanese soldiers into a state of minimal vigilance. By the time they realized what was happening, the crates piled beside the bunker had been detonated, and the violent explosion shattered the very last line of defense they had.

But it didn't end there. Countless massive meteorites suddenly appeared from mid-air, slamming into the demon ranks at immense velocity and continuing to crush everything in their path through sheer momentum.

Lin Siyu knew that her dear friend was dealing with Lin Zhi, and upon hearing that Lin Zhi wanted to meet, she already had a plan in mind: Lin Zhi must be at her wit's end and was coming to beg for mercy.

In the field of quantum computing, each research laboratory followed a different path, leading to a wide variety of viewpoints.

Jin Ruixuan was overjoyed. So, the reason Mimi hadn't answered his calls today was that she was jealous about what had happened at the hospital.

"Sigh, I’m an old man; I won't interfere in the affairs of the young. If you need my help, I can act as a bridge for you both. As for the outcome, it depends on whether the two of you are fated," Old Man Zhao said.

Tang Jun only hated that he was the younger brother rather than the elder, and hated his own incompetence for failing to protect his sister.

After Ding Changgui left, the three of them sat in the private room, smoking in gloomy silence. They realized that the current situation was completely out of their control; the three of them had been led by the nose by this man named Meng.

The implication was that Mo Xi and Ye Shiyi had been intentionally paired together by their mothers since childhood. He still didn't believe that Mo Xi’s demeanor showed any romantic interest in Ye Shiyi; in his view, it was more likely the discomfort caused by the sudden separation of a long-standing habit.

"Fine." The man, a man of few words, looked unhappy, but to maintain a peaceful atmosphere, he acknowledged it. He looked at the bowl in front of him and smiled with disdain; it was just washing a bowl, not exactly a difficult task.

The evolved ones who were unaware of the situation also gathered around, casting their eyes toward the readings on the instrument.

"Alright then, I will trouble you." After some thought, she felt that what Meng Tao said made sense and did not insist. Her grandmother's condition could change at any moment, and she truly could not leave.

The light in his eyes slowly coalesced, and a heavy aura spread outward. He sat upright, his internal energy perfectly rounded and unified, his mind guarding his spirit. Suddenly, a flash of brilliance sparked in his eyes, and a red arc spread from the carving knife’s handle to its blade, emitting a crisp, low hum as if it had come to life.

"No need, you have won." The Sovereign of the Tyrant Blade stood up directly and walked to a position ten paces away. A brighter smile appeared on the face of the Sovereign of the Evil Moon, who led his wife to sit in the seat of the Tyrant Blade Peak. It was evident he was truly moved, his body even trembling slightly.

Ouyang Ming nodded gently. Since Venerable Yu Qi had not deliberately avoided Venerable Ling Feng, there was no need for him to play the villain.

So, it turned out that a man without relatives, friends, or a spouse to rely on could still live so freely.

Besides, if he had chosen the Asterisk Academy back then, it would have been uncertain whether he would have met this beautiful woman and walked this path with her.

It was a stroke of fortune that they still had each other's company. If left alone in this place without anyone to talk to, they would never have been able to endure it.

"Tell the kitchen to make less in the future; I will only eat this much from now on," Ye Jinhui instructed.
