Volume One, Chapter 27: Master Dao, I Have Made It

The scene shifted.

After about an hour of practice, Lin Hu finally received a notification that his underwater breathing skill had leveled up.

[Ding~]

[Your innate skill, Underwater Breathing (Novice), has reached one hundred percent proficiency and upgraded to: Underwater Breathing (Beginner)]

“At last, it’s leveled up!”

Splash—

“I know, your Ouyang family is among the wealthy clans of the East Sea. Your assets rank in the top hundred of the region. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you off so easily. All right, you can leave now. Just enjoy your food and drinks, but don’t go around starting fights,” Brother Hao warned.

Actually, Zhao Yiyi had another idea, but it involved using Bai Jingshen and damaging his reputation. She had been wrestling with whether or not to go through with it.

But in that bloodthirsty forest, the righteous sword intent Ning Shu had accumulated over two months was completely depleted. He needed more time to gather and refine it again, so from now on, he would return here daily as he had before to meditate and comprehend.

The assassins lurking in the darkness were so frightened by what they saw that none dared step out. Each of them cursed the intelligence officer of their organization in their hearts.

Wu Yingbo took out a teleportation array disk and released a beam of blue light. The blue teleportation array appeared, and everyone entered it. In no time, they returned directly to Jingbo City in the Southern Province.

Li Haichen’s home had been robbed, and both Li Haichen and his agent were still missing. The news report was only a couple of lines long, accompanied by a blurry photo that barely revealed the building. Yet it dropped a bombshell in Ye Ruochuan’s heart.

Chu Guan was too lazy to explain any further to Nick Fury. Instead, he activated his mental projection, forcibly showing Nick Fury parts of Iron Man 1—Tony Stark being forced to build missiles in a cave, then crafting the Iron Man suit and escaping death.

It was his first time transmigrating into a movie scenario rather than an anime one. The characters’ appearances and mannerisms were exactly as portrayed in the film.

Fan Rui, however, didn’t care. Such a minor punishment meant nothing to her; she started chatting with Gao Qingfeng again.

“Don’t think you can act recklessly in front of me just because of this!” the elder erupted, unleashing his own strength to counter Wu Jin.

Su Ziyou’s face flushed instantly at her words, even more so than Su Zizhan, who had just savored the burning sensation.

Regardless of the drug’s effects, just by looking at the pill itself, it was clear that Mo Yan had barely managed to succeed in refining it. No matter how it compared, it fell far short of his first attempt. He’d asked for a month, but now half a year had passed, and his alchemy skills seemed only to have declined.

With a single empty character, his life and death realm was entered. Lin Yi believed the words of the Lord of the Central Heavens—success or failure, it mattered not.

These charlatans! Just thinking about how they all spoke with the same unified response made Sarah furious.

Watching from a distance, the Grass Fairy and the Wine Maniac were utterly stunned by the scene before them. Their entire understanding was overturned. Only then did they fully realize how much they had relied on Ziyun’s abilities and realm. Thinking their own advancement was now assured, they felt at ease.

Yet, seeing the lingering pink poison mist in the cave, it was clear it wasn’t an illusion. They really had inhaled it, though no one knew what kind of toxin it was.

Looking in the direction where the sea tribe disappeared, Du Bai smiled faintly. By letting the Kui Ancestor go, he had already altered that memory.

“Wait! Old Jade Emperor, make yourself clear! I have no objection to you appointing my master as Prime Minister of the Underworld. But those Qin brothers must leave the Underworld at once! I don’t care what dealings you have with those two, but from today onward, I don’t ever want to see them again!” Liu Shouguang shouted angrily.
