Early the next morning, Fengyan led his Millelith soldiers out of the hotel, planning to mooch a breakfast at the Knights of Favonius' training grounds—and join in their drills while he was at it.
Alright, to be fair, he was mostly just borrowing the training grounds.
Strictly speaking, there wasn’t much difference between the basic training routines of the Knights and the Millelith. But if the Millelith just decided to practice somewhere on their own, misunderstandings could ...

"Apologies, got a bit lost in thought there and nearly forgot to eat."
Gracefully, Gu Sanqiu set the fruit back on the plate, only to then tip the entire platter up, letting every piece of fruit fall directly into his mouth.
Even the red-haired young man polishing glasses nearby paused at this. Clearly, Gu Sanqiu’s unique approach had caught him off guard.
After all, no matter how small a fruit platter might be, it certainly seemed larger than any one person’s mouth. Yet...

Gu Sanqiu had no choice but to obediently follow the caravan and check into the Goth Grand Hotel.
This wasn’t some tour where he had free rein; if he wandered off on his own, there was a decent chance he’d have a few Knights trailing him by nightfall.
Fortunately, that arrangement would only last a short while.
As dusk settled over Mondstadt, even the city’s winds seemed to soften, a silent invitation to wrap up the day’s labors.
In other words, it was drinking...

“Victory.”
The monstrous mutant spiders were gone, and Carter and the others finally exhaled with relief.
The mutants held in their cages, realizing they’d been saved, cheered as well.
“We’re rescued!”
“Thank God!”
“No, thank Spider-Man!”
“Wait, thank God for sending Spider-Man!”
“Wait—he met God?”
The SHIELD agents began to release the captives, while Xia Luo watched the notification hovering in his field ...

At the sight of Xia Luo’s calm demeanor, Bucky’s heart sank momentarily.
Could this guy actually know the password to disable the self-destruct?
But in the next second, he sneered, dismissing the thought.
“You’re a sly one,” Bucky scoffed. “The only ‘third choice’ here is your permanent death with no way to come back.”
With a wave of his hand, he sent waves of modified soldiers charging toward Xia Luo and the others.

At the sight of Xia Luo appearing, Aleksei’s expression was like he’d seen a ghost. His eyes widened in shock, mouth agape.
In the next instant, though, he glanced over at Tony, hastily covering his mouth.
“You… you can’t be him. You’re a different Spider-Man. That guy doesn’t have webs like that.”
Hearing this, Xia Luo straightened up, his inverted triangular eyes flickering faintly with a blue glow.
“So, you’re just going to forget the bond we sha...

Steve Rogers’s face darkened, while Thanos silently picked up his battle blade, his gaze cold.
“Wait, don’t get the wrong idea!” Tony quickly raised his hands with an awkward smile.
“What can I say, you caught me. But seriously, I was just trying it out, okay? No need for those looks—I won’t try it again, promise.”
Under their menacing stares, Tony forced a grin and activated a spell array, returning the magical energy he’d borrowed from the Ancient One.

To train a powerful Pokémon, you first have to become a powerful Trainer. This involves not only the art of command and cultivation methods but also requires excellent physical fitness. This is exactly why the Armed Forces require newcomers to undergo physical training. In the wild, a strong physique can significantly increase a Trainer’s survival chances during unexpected encounters.
As the saying goes, cultivate the spirit, toughen the body—an ideal mantra for any Traine...

Strength training had always been part of Lu Cheng’s regimen, courtesy of Liu Shengnan’s training plan. The only difference now was replacing sandbags with a competitive vest. It was heavy, sure, but after half a month of training, Lu Cheng could just about manage it.
This half-month routine had built up his endurance visibly, if not his physique. For trainers, stamina was crucial, as both high-intensity training and strategizing in battles took serious physical tolls. Liu Shengnan...

Three Pokémon—Grovyle, Vulpix, and Ditto.
Ditto sat between them, eyes flicking back and forth between its two teammates. Curious, Vulpix reached out a paw, trying to touch Ditto’s gelatinous body, but just as her paw brushed the surface, Ditto retracted its goo, leaving Vulpix to paw at empty air.
“Ditto, stop messing around!” Lu Cheng called out as he walked over with their food bowls. Vulpix huffed and turned her head away, feigning disinterest.

Their courteous tone left Lu Cheng feeling rather pleased with himself.

In Camelot’s throne room, Artoria gathered all the nobles and announced her first decree as King Arthur.

“As for expectations? Just a child’s game from before. Now, your Lily has grown up…”

The welcoming banquet that evening was also held at Dawn Winery. Gu Sanqiu wondered if Diluc would be inclined to kill Kaeya when he returned, but it seemed like Kaeya had gotten approval beforehand.

Horned Loki was stunned. Before he could react, Xia Luo’s webbing, wielding tons of force, yanked him up and repeatedly slammed him into the ground.

With debris flying everywhere, Xia Luo finally tossed the defeated Loki into a crater.

As the entity overseeing Ritou’s trade and tax collection, the Kanjo Commission held full authority over all duties imposed on goods. They could set the tax rates as high as they pleased.
