Volume 1, Chapter 38: A Formidable Ability

Although the Clairvoyant Eye was immensely powerful, it could also cause trouble. For instance, if he wanted to use it to appraise an object, he had to be able to switch off his penetrating vision; otherwise, his gaze would pass straight through the item he needed to examine.

What was most troublesome was that the penetrating vision was beyond his control. Every time he activated the Clairvoyant Eye, he was confronted with a vast expanse of pale, naked flesh.

If it belonged to a beautiful woman, naturally it was pleasing to behold. The problem was that most people were ordinary.

As for men’s bodies in particular, he had no interest in looking at them whatsoever.

“This upgrade to the Clairvoyant Eye was truly worth it!”

Zhang Wenxuan turned his gaze toward the teacup on the table nearby, and immediately a string of information...

The moment I entered the room, I saw basket after basket of cabbages neatly bundled across the floor. He had probably gone to the market to sell vegetables early in the morning, then returned home to catch up on sleep.

But his overbearing manner, formidable strength, and the Bao Xiangyu and Wen Chenyi he had drawn to her side repeatedly made her abandon the idea.

Even the present dynasty had committed a monstrous crime when it rebelled all those years ago. Yet now it sat securely upon its lofty throne, worshipped by the people beneath heaven.

I stepped around the corpse and continued downward. On the glass window hung half of a human body from the waist down. It must have belonged to someone who had tried to escape by jumping through the window, but had been a moment too slow: his lower half remained inside the room, while his upper half had already been cast outside.

He was genuinely frightened now. He had seen plenty of films, and naturally knew many stories about the dead returning to life. Seeing how casually these people treated human life, he was certain this was no longer the world he had known. If he were eaten by wolves right at the beginning, that would be terribly dull.

A pair of icy hands shook my arm, and only then did I come back to myself. Nian Bai’s face appeared before me.

The Mercenary Alliance was a power that gathered all the world’s mercenaries together, allowing every mercenary not only to have a group of their own...

In particular, her cheap mother was even trying to meddle in her marriage. Xu Zhizhi was very eager to teach her a lesson.

Grandfather rarely taught me how to conduct myself; Grandmother was the one who usually looked after me. Watching him scratch his head, rub his temples, and sit beside the fire with a sigh, I began to feel that something serious might truly have happened.

“Anyone who has practiced any kind of cultivation technique, though still possessing a human body, has already undergone a transformation under the influence of spiritual power accumulated through years of cultivation.

Only then did Zhao Fuxin notice that although he had been lost in thought, his eyes had remained fixed on Wanyan Beiya’s chest. Wanyan Beiya, however, neither blushed nor acted shy. Instead, she looked proud and delighted.

After being subjected to such a barrage of verbal provocation, an ordinary person would certainly stop coming forward to humiliate himself.

“Brother Long, Brother Le met with an accident last night,” Xing Peng said bitterly. He held the Changle whom Ye Tianyu had specially arranged to come here in considerable respect.

She made money from these pills. It did not matter much while she remained unknown, but once she became famous, many people might begin watching her closely.

The more Meng Changjin looked, the worse her expression became. All of these things had been bought little by little with the money earned from selling the pigs the client had raised and the eggs laid by the chickens she had fed.

South of Anyu City lay a stretch of the Linchuan Mountains. The spirit beasts there were at exactly the right level for them. Having arrived on the Jiuyuan Continent, they could not possibly spend all their time training in the Abyss of Tempering.

“Cheeky! You only know how to joke.” Lin Wushuang nearly laughed aloud again. Being with him seemed always to bring her a kind of unusual happiness.

Standing before the window, she took out a paper crane and gently tossed it into the air. In an instant, the paper crane seemed to come alive, spreading its wings and flying away.

The Butcher went to the front and called two more men out to join them. Including the two who had entered at the beginning, there were ten in all, four of whom were stationed in first class to guard Ye Tianyu.

The Martian must have become stubborn over some bizarre piece of Martian logic again, Gu Lian guessed. Yet that very stubbornness was exactly what she needed to exploit now. Still, seeing Chenxing’s guileless expression made her feel strangely uneasy.

Feeling unbearably sticky and uncomfortable, she glanced at the man sleeping soundly in the room, gathered her clothes around herself, and went to the hot spring.

Zhao Jing lived in Zhao Yu’s Auspicious Cloud Garden. If the maids had mentioned it, then there was an eighty- or ninety-percent chance that Zhao Yu had deliberately spread the false information. As for his purpose, that still required careful investigation.

I said nothing. He did not seem to expect any reply from me either. After saying that, he did not speak another word.

Whether I listened or not made little difference. After seeing so many doctors, I had heard them repeat the same few words over and over. The doctor prescribed me some medicines to replenish my vital energy, and after I handed them to the maid, he left.

However, after enduring these two battles, the ten thousand troops Liu Tianhao had brought from Luoyang had suffered more than two thousand casualties. Nearly four thousand more were lightly wounded, while the seriously wounded were few. Even so, the losses pained Liu Tianhao as if his heart were being twisted by a knife.

In the center of the lake in the rear garden stood a pavilion connected to the shore by a long jade bridge. Banquet tables had been arranged along the wider bank. As everyone exchanged pleasantries, they took their seats in two rows on either side, leaving the host’s place vacant.

At the time, Zhang Feiliang’s curse arts were the most terrifying of all. Offending him was even worse than offending their gang leader.

When he caught her, she had only landed on her backside. But now, two of his ribs had probably been broken beneath her weight. Clutching his aching chest, he turned deathly pale.

Chu Si listened to the rustling behind the screen and chuckled softly. She had long known Green Sandalwood’s temperament; naturally, she could not resist dragging Spring Branch along to take a look.

Xue Sheng lowered her head and viciously bit his arm. Helian Yao, as expected, cried out in pain, released her, and sprang to his feet.

He had even taken Changye with him, chatting and laughing with her, without the slightest sign of jealousy or anger. At that moment, she became completely disillusioned with him.

Just as they charged forward, the enemy’s Poppy had already begun charging up his ultimate ability. He then hurled it toward Ye Di and the others.

Its destruction represented the enormous gap between human military technology and that of the Rolandians. At present, even if the naval strength all the nations could muster were to surpass the United States Pacific Fleet, the margin would be limited. After witnessing what had happened to the American navy, every other country would have to think carefully before sending out a fleet and consider whether it could afford the losses.

Fei Heng was genuinely waiting in his office, watching the sea trials of the Sea God while awaiting Banbu’s news.

It now appeared highly likely that metallic life-forms existed within the pyramid. When they rammed it with the Immortal Temple, they had awakened the metallic beings inside.

“He is an old acquaintance of mine. We came to the capital this time and heard that he was staying with your gang, so we came especially to see him.” Tang Xiao spoke with utmost sincerity.

“Why ban it? Let them have it. They need to understand that even the same hero can produce entirely different results in the hands of different teams. They are not the Glory team; even if they choose the Praying Mantis, it will be useless.” Ye Di spoke with domineering confidence.

With a wave of his hand, he scattered the viscous evil filling the air. The drops of condensed filth instantly transformed into streaks of golden radiance. Calm and unruffled, he watched as the fragrance of earth replaced the stench of decay and blood.

At that moment, the Prince had already made up his mind: if he could help the bottom lane wear down some of their health, then every bit counted. After this gank, he would be returning home to replenish his supplies and purchase equipment anyway. Even if the two of them reduced him to critical health, it would not matter much.

Originally, perhaps the Netherpass Blood Bracelet and the Netherpass Pagoda, by virtue of their special properties, could have helped their master resolve the problem within his body.

Yijing’s sudden change of expression left Tongji bewildered and uneasy. He forced himself to remain calm, yet grew increasingly suspicious of the hidden meaning behind her words.

Everyone gathered around me, their eyes glistening with tears and their bodies trembling. For a long while, no one could speak. Then they embraced me and sobbed for what seemed like an eternity, until at last tears of excitement flowed down their faces.
