Chapter 144: The Ship

A month had passed since the scale first began to show signs of life.

Whenever Weide had time, he would go and take a look at the scale. Yet it merely lay in the center of the moss, occasionally flashing a few times when Weide arrived. Apart from that, it showed no unusual reaction.

Perhaps it was still in the process of gestation. Even humans needed nine months of pregnancy before giving birth, and dragons were certainly no exception.

To resurrect from nothing more than a scale was already beyond the scope of childbirth. It—

Lu Xuehan nodded to indicate that Xinyu could proceed. Xinyu did not stand on ceremony; she raised her hand and fired an ordinary shot, drawing a Frost Troll over.

Just as I was hesitating, Murong Shanshan logged on not far from me. She was still clad in beautiful silver armor, with a fiery red cloak streaming behind her. Her soft, graceful hair fell over her shoulders like cascading water, while the classically styled yet lavish Hanguang Sword swayed in the wind.

So just how vast a game of chess had he laid out, and how many people had he reduced to toys at his fingertips?

“No, the next sentence!” Lei Yi hurriedly interrupted Yilandi. He had been thinking while Yilandi was speaking and had not listened very carefully, but he was certain that Yilandi’s words had contained some crucial terms.

The letter described everything Nanlan Xue had done in the Shang Kingdom during that period, as well as the opinions and praise she had received from the people of Shang. Naturally, it also mentioned the rumor everyone was repeating: that she was the reincarnation of the Divine Emperor.

Seeing Lin Yi skirt around the issue, Mu Ying suddenly adopted a stern tone. Clearly, he still resented the fact that Lin Yi had devoured his soul power earlier.

As the dart wrapped in blue light was raised, Bok’s entire body suddenly burst into dazzling radiance. The dart seemed to melt within the blue light, transforming into a mass of pale blue brilliance. Around it, countless water elements trembled with restless energy, flashing fiercely like electric currents.

I wandered aimlessly, unable to keep myself from sighing again and again. I was trapped in enemy territory; not only was my mother-in-law still in their hands, but even whether I could protect the more than thirty thousand brothers fighting beside me remained unknown.

This is insane, absolutely insane! Which brother just threw in twenty VIP tickets at once? That is way too generous! Here comes another chapter!

It had all happened in the blink of an eye, yet that trace of enlightenment lingered in Kuangsheng’s heart and refused to fade.

The river winds and meanders around fragrant islets; beneath the moon, every flower-filled grove seems dusted with frost.
Frost-like moonlight drifts unseen through the air, while the white sands upon the riverbank disappear from sight.

He Jiangxiu clenched both fists and could still feel that, in the instant the Divine Dragon Pearl entered his elixir field, his strength had increased yet again.

You killed so many people in such a rage just now. It must be because you were angry after being imprisoned for so long, right?

At those words, the remaining sixteen people reacted in different ways. Some looked grim, some excited, and some immediately began forming teams.

With only one day left before the exchange tournament began, Qi Jin chose to relax and participate tomorrow in his finest condition, ready to beat the other branch schools into the ground.

After Leng Yi asked the question, Xue Ning did not answer immediately. Instead, she tapped her fingers rhythmically against the tabletop.

Li Da had originally shown Xue Ning some respect because Li Yinhong was present. But now that Li Yinhong had been captured by bandits and it was still unknown whether she would return safely, Li Da naturally looked down on Xue Ning even more.

Lin Meng took a closer look and discovered that the upper end of the Spirit-Nurturing Sword Case, where the swords were inserted, had seven openings. It seemed capable of holding seven swords in total. He could not help thinking of the seven attributes in the cultivation world—the five elements, along with wind and thunder. Could this have some special significance?

“What are you making such a fuss about? I’m busy right now!” Lin Fang said, without pausing her work for even a moment.

Wang Si ignored the other man’s movement and directly slammed the butt of the gun in his hand into the Japanese soldier’s head.

Looking outside the city again, the Qian army had already deployed siege towers and telescoping wheeled assault ladders. Large numbers of infantry were still advancing behind them. Once the Qian army pushed the siege towers and wheeled assault ladders to the foot of the walls, they would be able to send a massive force up onto the battlements. By then, there would truly be no hope of turning the tide.
