Volume 1, Chapter 25: The Reversal

"Lin Yu..." Liu Wanyun looked at Lin Yu in shock, her emotions in complete turmoil. He actually helped me? "How dare you strike me?" Chu Tianchen struggled to stand up, his eyes blazing with fury. Yesterday, this brute had forced his head down and smashed it against the table. Today, he dared to slap him in public? This was beyond endurance! However, before he could erupt, Lin Yu struck again. With another heavy slap, he caught Chu Tianchen on the other cheek: "You lack all sense of right and wrong, spewing filth from your mouth—you deserved that! You should understand that Liu Wanyun only faced danger from Li Zhenzhe because she was on official business! Yet you accuse her of dragging the group down? What exactly did she do wrong? Protecting her..."

Yan Zhi held his sniper rifle, observing every movement on the battlefield. He was in no rush to fire at the German soldiers, instead constantly shifting his scope to search for commanders or snipers. He felt that General Hongzhi’s gaze had not met his own, which meant he had yet to be discovered. He silently admired the general, who had determined that the situation was unfavorable for them in just a few moments. Although he was the last to move, his immense speed allowed him to arrive first, reaching the front of the Wood King. "I seek the Heavenly Elixir of the Star Realm to attain divinity!" Lu Yang swung his sword, cleaving the clouds as he soared to the top of the firmament, letting out a laugh of heroic pride. But the moment he arrived, Lu Yang was immediately stunned. Guided by the divine artifact, the 'Pangu Array Map,' he should have been able to traverse space without the slightest error. Yet, this was a world of ice and snow—where was the Wood Charm Domain, with its eternal spring and lush vegetation?

Ye Xinghan had no choice but to follow. He suppressed his inexplicable discomfort, silently telling himself that she was his—she could only be his. "Hahaha, Liu Yun, let’s see how lucky you are this time, and how you survive the pursuit of the Chu Kingdom's geniuses!" Zhang Jing said with a sinister laugh. Upon seeing who had arrived, Liu Yun’s eyes widened in shock. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then tears began to stream down his face. Furthermore, I must thank my editor, Sheng Xia; he pulled me back from the brink of giving up on this story. He is truly a wonderful person. Saying this, Liu Yun opened the Star Cloud Martial Canon once more, flipping to the page recording the "Sword of Sorrow." Now, all six of us are Spirit Beasts. I, in particular, have reached the peak of the Spirit Beast realm; my strength has increased exponentially compared to a month ago—it is like the difference between clouds and mud. Zhu Xiaoxiao looked regretful. If one of these bouquets were hers, she would have jumped for joy. At the moment of enlightenment, I awoke from that state of mind. Opening my eyes to see the wood carving in my hand, a look of relief washed over my face. She felt she should think it over carefully, but hadn't she been thinking about it incessantly all these days?

Meeting an acquaintance, Xu Meiling felt an impatient urge to approach, but then she realized her son’s concerns were valid. She was currently hiding in the shadows and couldn't afford to be so conspicuous. Before she could even gasp, her lips were sealed. The man’s powerful presence washed over her, and she had no time to even utter a word of refusal. The final sentence was muffled by the falling curtain; Yu Jingqi even wondered if she had misheard. Hearing Gangzi's words, I didn't know what to say. Perhaps things really were as he described! Otherwise, how could Alai have suddenly appeared before us? "If you want something specific, just have Qing Moyan find someone to draw it for you." The Emperor didn't seem to care much; it was just a Princess's manor, intended merely for show. After they married, they would only stay there symbolically for a few days. After Tang Tang hung up the phone, Gu Yufei looked at the dead line, her brow furrowed tightly. It seemed... she really needed to speed things up. Ji Yan had wanted to endure the discomfort in certain indescribable places, but in the end, he could no longer bear it.

The crowd, thoroughly confused by Mu Yunzhi’s nonsense, retreated to their respective rooms in frustration. Only the four team leaders remained, mouths agape, not knowing what to say. "I came to see him!" Qian Ye started with a smile, and Mu Yunzhi naturally didn't respond coldly, though her mood was poor, so her tone was far from warm. While cultivating, Qin Feng channeled the Heavenly Devotion Sutra, placing his faith in the Heavenly Dao to better comprehend its mysteries.

The Pacers’ defensive troops were mostly deployed on the perimeter, and Mo Xi secured a comfortable position for a one-on-one. He backed down Davis, then executed a turnaround fadeaway; the ball went straight in. Tie Hu and Tie Bao had exploited his love for collecting ancient and famous swords, catering to his preferences to seek his protection. "Heh, that’s more like it. I love seeing that expression on you; you look absolutely adorable!" Seeing the proud Aerme display such a look of humiliation, Bai Yu couldn't help but tease her while secretly enjoying the sight. Upon hearing this, Ye Jinyi raised an eyebrow and paced for a while. He turned to scan the Seven Freaks of the Green Dragon and chuckled. With her departure, the pressure on the Evil Soul Emperor and Chen Yifu intensified; facing the invincible Qin Feng, they could not reverse the situation. Van Gundy opened the thick Knicks playbook. Every player had a copy, but even someone like Mo Xi only flipped through it once. The playbook served more as a reminder for Van Gundy than as something for the players to study. However, as long as human nature persists, these things will be like weeds that can never be fully eradicated. Isn't this Yan Mengmeng right before us, clearly breaking the law?

Under Su Mu’s unblinking stare, the creature supported its massive body with four cold-glinting claws and walked up to him. Like Su Mu, it stared back with curiosity, looking him up and down. The human-like light in its eyes flickered as if it were pondering something. The Clear Water Asura clan had not sent their leader, but rather a slightly weaker warrior. "That’s even better. I was worried you’d be too afraid to sleep, so you can just talk to me in your dreams." Su Ruoyao took off her outer robe and lay down beside her. Ghost Mask Ancient Jade really wanted to give his disciples a beating; they were truly being spoiled rotten. His sharp gaze shifted to Luo Wusheng, but seeing her frail frame, he decided to let it be. After all, she had suffered enough because of him; letting her have some fun was no harm. After everyone searched carefully and found nothing, they moved on to the next location. "Is that all you have?" Ye Ge swung his heavy spear like a dragon. Infused with spiritual energy tempered by Vermilion Fire, he thrust the spear, and crimson energy erupted from the tip, forming a concave wall of wind. Simultaneously, streams of cyan spiritual energy shot out from the wind wall like arrows, attacking Luo Duruo. Su Mu said no more; he took Xi Rong’s hand and leaped into the air, flying toward Starfall Valley. "Such destructive power!" Luo Shengze, who was battling a skeleton, felt a surge of concern for his descendant upon witnessing the scene. In other words, no one present—except for the incredibly powerful Great Elder and a few others—could see their true faces, as they were all shielded by that thick layer of Law energy.
