Everyone fears others seizing the initiative first

However, Lin Jue's words were quite comforting. Yang Xiu's depressed mood seemed to lift a great deal.

"I agree..." Zhao Weihan was once again the first to raise his hand. He had long believed that Liu Feiyang could not be restrained in such a place. Having survived this ordeal, who could possibly stop him now?

No matter how many pedestrians filled the broad street, it never felt crowded. The ground was like a mirror, and the streets were clean and tidy. Zhao Shiyu suddenly smiled at a pedestrian on the street, then shook his head and continued strolling aimlessly.

"If you throw, I'll throw too!" Xiao Yong quickly produced two lightning talismans and hurled them at the three figures. In this situation, he could only use the lightning talismans to delay their attacks. Although his talismans were not as powerful as those from the Dragon Ming Continent, he believed his adaptability surpassed theirs.

Xiao Yong had felt a sense of familiarity with the cauldron, which was why he brought it up, but he had not expected it to actually be that very cauldron.

Only then did Yin realize that she had not been paying close attention at all, her mind entirely consumed by the pursuit of condensing starlight into a single star.

Hong Canhui and Wang Zizhu, accompanied by all the members, waited at the entrance. When they saw Liu Feiyang's car—though incomparable to his former Mercedes-Benz—it still gave them a glimpse of hope. How broad the road ahead might be, who could say for sure?

I only felt the sand flying and stones rolling before my eyes as the world spun around me. When I finally stood steady, I found myself once again in that same desolate wilderness. And who was running toward me from not far away, pursued by a large gray rabbit, if not Ah Xia?

"Don't look at me. There's nothing I can do." Finding my gaze of helpless reliance upon her, Linda unexpectedly shrugged, spread her hands, and struck a helpless pose.

"Lin Hu, what are you standing there daydreaming for? Give me a hand. My legs have gone all soft. Let's go rest in the shade; this blazing sun is roasting my skin to a crisp," Lin Jue called out to the dumbfounded Lin Hu.

She did not know where this dull ache stemmed from, and her hand instinctively pressed against her chest, as if only by doing so could she ease the pain within.

Fellio was so anxious because he had overheard the spectators watching the match openly complaining.

Yu Xiulian, who was merely at the fifth tier of Blood Refining, was an expert the likes of whom he had never seen before. If a few more were to appear, the nature of the situation would change entirely.

This also indirectly indicated that she had no way of leaving this place right now, and must absorb enough aromatic incense every night, as her spiritual power originated from its fragrance.

Su Peisheng vomited a large mouthful of fresh blood, the sword in his hand dropping to the ground. He looked at Qin Yuan, murmured an apology, and collapsed.

Kizuka Momo changed her shoes, glanced down at his footwear, habitually frowned, and said with a hint of disgust.

The last time he completed a task, he had obtained the pendulum dribble. Wondering what kind of star player skill this precision shooting would yield?

It was not that he feared Gao Jixing's might, but rather that he refused to become a pawn played in someone else's hands.

The beating of the heart within her chest grew increasingly rapid, the thump-thump rhythm seeming loud enough to spill out from her eardrums.

The damp and sticky environment she had anticipated did not materialize. The cave was very dry, with no strange odors. The lighting was also decent; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be glowing gemstones embedded in the cave walls.

Ye Xuan continued to gaze at Ye Jinmu with that same expression, as if he would keep looking at her until she confessed the truth, drowning her heart in guilt.

Ran Min fell silent for a moment before finally nodding and saying, "Very well, I admit it, the Marquis of Champions is indeed formidable." For someone as proud and arrogant as Ran Min, such an admission was quite remarkable.

Sun Miaomiao had imagined that Ye Cheng might stand up for her, but she had never dreamed he would go directly to confront He Qingshan.

"Yilian?" She pondered for a moment. Another soul seemed to reside within her sea of consciousness. Closing her eyes to sense it, she found that soul absorbing her stored spiritual power to restore its own magic.

Yet the young lord had easily forgiven her, summoned a physician to tend to her injuries, and even personally applied the soothing ointment for her.

"Wow! The quality of this bronze mirror of yours is quite impressive! It didn't shatter even after a hit like that!" Third Master Yuan exclaimed in sincere admiration. It reflected things as clearly as glass, yet was tougher than glass—truly a treasure.

Ahead, Ketsuruma's swinging arm gradually came into sharp focus, becoming the sole focal point in Ganquan's vision.

"There's not a single word from his side; it seems he has no intention of pursuing the matter," his manager said, looking quite surprised at the revelation.

Liao Xi was nearly ready now. Leading an army of one hundred thousand, he marched toward Kuaiji Commandery. Liao Xi's military campaign destined the geopolitical landscape of Yangzhou to undergo a drastic transformation.

I kept feeling as though I had heard that roar somewhere before, and upon reflection, I was startled. Wasn't that the exact roar I had heard in that residence of the True Dragon in Jiuzi Town?

Sword spirits were permitted to forge contracts without their master's consent. If the new master refused, the spirit would cling stubbornly until consent was granted. In any case, once the contract was bound, there was no turning back; they were required to remain by their new master's side for at least ten years before the bond could be dissolved.

Due to the bond of spiritual resonance, a bonded Sentinel and Guide rarely required intervention from the Tower. They understood, supported, and respected one another, with the vast majority outperforming and remaining far more stable than they had been before bonding.
