Volume One, Chapter 36: The Villainous Siblings in a Power-Fantasy Novel, Part 16
By the time he had held on this long, Long Aotian had exhausted all his strength and fainted.
Everyone sat inside Yang Chong’s room, silently watching as the flavor of the game shifted due to his choices, leaving them all somewhat speechless.
The outsider picked up another fried shrimp. As the shrimp entered his mouth, the sweet fragrance, the crisp texture, and the exquisite taste made it utterly irresistible.
Yang Chong believed his acting was flawless—not perfect, perhaps, but certainly without any sign of stage fright at this moment. After all, since he harbored no ill intent toward these people, his mind was free from the kind of focus required for espionage, making it impossible for him to slip up.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Ajiu instantly regretted them deeply. The beautiful figure before him, almost otherworldly in her allure, did not recognize him at all. When she left the Thatched Cottage back then, his eye condition had yet to heal.
A thought flickered through many minds, and the topic was not pursued further. However, Luo Li knew that Yang Chong and the others had already grasped the terrifying nature of this system. Without revealing the system’s mechanics to Yang Chong and his group, Luo Li steered the conversation back to the battle scoring system.
Immersed in endless pain, he suddenly heard a tinkling laughter nearby. The voice was crisp and enchanting, filled with joy and sweetness, irresistibly drawing anyone to seek out its owner. Zhao Lu was equally captivated, stepping closer toward the sound.
“Regardless, Lama Longcheng is also a Rinpoche. As a guest from afar, we sincerely hope you will stay and help us build our Great Buddha Kingdom!” Sangdong Rinpoche declared spiritedly.

The others also shifted their attitudes and immediately echoed Reeves, congratulating Vittorio on becoming Deputy Military Commissioner. Vittorio smiled kindly, assuring them this appointment would not dampen his resolve. He hoped all colleagues would trust and support his work.
“Minister Chen! What are you doing?!” Monk Zeng, puzzled by the sudden events, feared Chen Qi was about to attack Hong Quan and rushed forward to stop him.
“Is there no one to defend the Han people?!” Zhong Yanfeng’s deep patriotism flared. How dare these Khitan dogs commit crimes in the capital of the Great Song! Their arrogance was intolerable.
Witnessing this scene, the two exchanged a glance before Gong Bing pressed the accelerator fiercely. The car surged forward at once.
At that moment, the spear had just struck the ground, yet he showed no reaction. A curved ice wall rose beside him, shielding his back and head.
Damn it. I haven't even confronted you yet, but in my past life, I already disliked you intensely. Shamelessly plagiarizing is one thing, but doing it so blatantly is another.
Advancing might not withstand this ultimate illusion. Retreating would be disastrous, releasing a tiger back into the wild. If Uchiha Madara and his brother Uchiha Izuna were to recover, their combined ocular powers would render them invincible.
The ninth-rank mercenary, dazed, watched Lin Daodao and his group depart. Only after putting a great distance between them did Lin Daodao’s lips curl into a smile.
“It’s not clear yet. I wish to visit the Zhong residence to investigate and, at the same time, see what has happened with the Heavenly Mechanism Star,” Taoist Gongsun replied.
