While Chen Xi and the others were busy strategizing on how to deal with the upcoming challenges, outside Fenggao City, the brawl between Xu Chu and Dian Wei had reached a fever pitch.
Xu Chu's entire body was enveloped in a dark, black aura of inner energy. Every muscle was taut as he exchanged blows with Dian Wei. When Dian Wei punched him, Xu Chu would retaliate with a kick. If Dian Wei kicked him, Xu Chu would respond with a headbutt.
Similarly, Dian Wei wasn’t having ...

"Let me explain. I've been dealing with these tedious matters lately." Liu Ye sighed as he pulled out a comparison report on the cost of medicinal herbs, emergency medical care, and the expenses for compensating the families of fallen soldiers. The report also compared soldier survival rates and combat effectiveness.
"Pass it around and take a look," Liu Ye said as he handed his data, which he'd been compiling since April, over to Jia Xu. "I must admit, Zichuan has great foresigh...

Everyone silently turned to look at Fazheng.
Following their gaze, Liu Yan stared at Fazheng. "Oh, Fazheng, it was you who came up with this crazy idea? With Fengxiao not around, you’re already causing trouble. Who's this kid anyway? Why is there another child in our government office? He's even younger than Fazheng!" Liu Yan asked curiously, noticing Zhuge Liang's youthful face.
"Stop calling him a child. Age doesn't determine one's abilities. Despite his youth, he’s e...

Chen Xi, Jia Xu, and the others were discussing how to handle the situation in Xu Province. Although "no war in winter" was generally an unwritten rule during this era, considering Cao Cao's personality, everyone, including Jia Xu, could only sigh and admit that there was a 90% chance of a battle breaking out if something happened.
"Zichuan, is there a problem with your deployment plan?" Lu Su asked, staring at Chen Xi's troop deployment map with some confusion. "This setup almos...

"Ah!" Chen Qun, who had been shoved aside, immediately saw the silver needles embedded in Xi Zhicai's head and broke down. "Seize this assassin!" Chen Qun was beyond furious. If Xi Zhicai were killed in his presence, there would be no way to explain this to Cao Cao.
"Stand aside! If you delay for even the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, not even the gods can save him," retorted the elderly man who had tossed Chen Qun aside. Despite Chen Qun being a strong young man in his twe...

"He can't avoid this strike!"
"Can that young man withstand Mingque Tianjiao's attack?"
Witnessing the terrifying spear strike, the onlookers were both terrified and mesmerized. This was a Dao Heart Realm attack, unavoidable unless one possessed top-tier body techniques capable of eluding Dao traces momentarily.
But the young man was so young. Did he have enough time to master such techniques?
Boom!
The destructive spear light swiftly replaced the air in f...

At the peak of the sacred mountain, inside the Ji family's discussion hall.
Apart from Ji Yunge's familiar brothers who were accompanying him on his final journey, other elders and branch leaders of the Ji family had gathered here. They had wanted to visit Ji Yunge, out of respect for him as the family's war god, but Ji Daoxin had stopped them. He understood that Ji Yunge, able to return to the family on the brink of death, was driven by his attachment to certain family matters. ...

"Ji Leping?"
Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Ji Boduan paused slightly. He's using his mother's surname? Traditionally, the father's surname is used, and it's rare to see someone using the mother's surname. Moreover, he knew that Li Hao's mother, Ji Qingqing, had married an outsider from beyond the Desolate Heaven, so it was impossible for them to share the Ji surname.
He glanced at Li Hao, his initial warmth slightly fading.
However, recalling the rumors and the high pr...

The figure rushed forward, looking disheveled but full of excitement, tears streaming down his old face as he reached Ji Yunge: "Third Brother, you've finally returned!"
Seeing this old man crying so emotionally, some of the people who had come from the periphery were also surprised. Apart from Ji Yunge's funeral decades ago, they had never seen this decisive war god of the Ji family shed tears.

Ji Yunge's spectral form trembled slightly. The reunion with h...

A demon suggested in a deep voice, "If the Dragon City River of Demise erupts into a great battle, our plan to attack the Dayu Divine Dynasty will be delayed again. Now with the Merit Treasury appearing, those Rivers of Demise are under the control of the Dayu Divine Dynasty. We've always paid little attention to those Rivers of Demise, so we definitely can't compete with them for it."

"But these exchanges are quite expensive. Ten thousand merit points can exchange for the chance of reversal, yet the Wang family has accumulated not even ten thousand so far!"
"Destroying ten Nether City-level Rivers of Demise would accumulate ten thousand merit points."
"And if it's Yin Sha-level Rivers of Demise, it would take a hundred!"
Emperor Yu's eyes flickered. Although the exchanges were expensive, there was no doubt that the appearance of the Merit Treasury ...

Li Hao's expression changed slightly. Hearing the other party's relaxed yet firm tone, it was clear that further denial was unnecessary.
Meanwhile, on Li Hao's wrist, a blood-colored vine ring had a blood tendril sticking up like a silly hair, seemingly eavesdropping on Li Hao and Ji Yunge's conversation.
Ji family?
The Crimson Blood Vine King was quite shocked. After spending thousands of years in the Crimson Wood Corpse Ridge, it had seen several ancient saints come...

"Stop pretending to be a deity. If you were truly from a divine clan, would you be stealing from our family, taking our young master's treasure robe and weapon?"
The two elders of the Qin Family were suspicious but not intimidated by Li Hao, shouting angrily while still probing.

Li Hao replied with a deliberately arrogant stance.

The short man screamed in agony, staring at Li Hao in shock. Even if the opponent was on guard, how could he easily block such a close-range attack? Yet, it was blocked with ease. What kind of monstrous strength was this?

The short man was astonished. He couldn't discern Li Hao's aura, but judging by his age, he shouldn't be more than at the Three Immortal Stage at best.

Sun Lake was named after its round shape, resembling the sun, with dense yellow water plants that, under the bright sun, reflected a golden hue.
At the lake's edge, Reilly and Kelina stood together, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery. The spring breeze stirred gentle ripples across the lake's surface, where fish occasionally blew bubbles, captivating Kelina's attention.

Reilly shrugged and smiled, "As you wish, Kelina."

When Rhett returned to the fifth-floor hall, the room was dimly lit by faint candlelight. He poured himself a glass of red wine, took a small sip, and glanced at the three new crates still sitting in the dark corner.
Earlier that afternoon, he had checked them—one crate held roughly four hundred gold coins. The other crate, filled with crystals and gems, Rhett estimated to be worth nearly a thousand gold coins. All in all, it was a valuable haul, and Falcon Town was far from ...

As he recalled the upcoming outdoor barbecue, Tyles' eyes sparkled with excitement. He jumped out of bed and stood by the window, overlooking the manor grounds. In front of the castle, three long tables, dozens of chairs, benches, barbecue grills, stands, seasonings, and all sorts of ingredients were already set up, nearly ready for the evening festivities.
Servants, male and female, chatted happily below, while knights and squires engaged in arm-wrestling matches on the tables...

"Earth-grade top-tier?" Lin Xiao thought to himself. The system rated Peach Blossom Void Technique as A-grade, and Liao Pantu said it was Earth-grade top-tier. So, does that mean A-grade corresponds to Earth-grade top-tier in this world?

The reason for starting them off with the "Peach Blossom Void Technique" was mainly because it had a simplified version, making it easier for those who were illiterate to get started quickly. Once they had a solid foundation and improved their literacy, they could then choose a more advanced technique.
