Picked Up

Smoker watched his actions in silence. After all, it was Ian who killed Krieg—this was something he couldn’t deny. Therefore, not only should the bounty go to Ian, but Ian also had the right to dispose of Krieg’s possessions.

“You’re very strong, Seiji, and you’ll only continue to grow stronger. I want to do my best to keep up with you!” Mika said earnestly.

When she was asked to identify the awakened students in the school, she strongly objected, fiercely resisting the notion. In the end, she only complied under strict orders.

In the midst of their intimate union, as the two became one, a surge of divine power erupted from Zhao Linger’s body, flooding forth. Guided by both Zhao Linger and Lin Yang, this divine force cycled endlessly through their bodies, revolving without pause.

Truth and falsehood, right and wrong—without experiencing it yourself, it’s truly difficult for students sheltered within the relative innocence of the campus to grasp the myriad facets of the world.

Jiang Yidian was mischievous as well. He knew exactly what Woye Cao was trying to do, yet he deliberately didn’t stop her, just to see how far that wild girl could go.

And after all was said and done, the grudges between Dongfang Mo and the major forces of the Western Territories could at last be considered settled, if only barely.

“There will be no more troubles now,” Shaar said with a hearty laugh, and with a swish, disappeared from sight.

Teaching someone who, not long ago, was an ordinary person and is now a complete novice is already a difficult task. Teaching someone who possesses such an extraordinary psychic creature, however, can only be described as “challenging”—no other word came to Liuli’s mind.

Lin Yang took Yang Chan and Zhang Tianchang to travel through this world. While the spiritual energy still lingered, the realm remained prosperous. Should the energy vanish, it would become an age of decline, and by then, the scenery would be far less splendid.

Witnessing this, Lin Yi was thoroughly shocked, gazing in disbelief at the sudden eruption of a sea of flames below.

“Pei Yijin, do you have any right to question me on this matter? And you—when you were with Cheng Xinrou, did you ever consider how I felt?” Yun Duo wanted to scream hysterically.

When Boss Wu saw Lin Feng approaching, all trace of a smile vanished from his face. Anyone in his position would feel the same—after all, losing a solid eight billion and having to hand over four billion to someone else would upset anyone. If it were Lin Feng and the matter were irreversible, he wouldn’t be happy either.

“Auntie, it seems your skills haven’t dulled one bit!” A voice echoed from the darkness, laughing as the speaker stepped into the light.

The Bimurin was exceptionally tall, and the formation of the disciples of the Azure Mist Sword Sect was evidently formidable as well. Despite repeated collisions, they showed not the slightest sign of retreat.

“What’s this, raining again? Looks like I’ll have to patch the leaking roof tomorrow. Odd though—when I came back just now, the sky didn’t look like rain at all,” Iron Rod muttered to himself.

For a moment, He Jingyao wanted to call out to stop the person, but at that very instant, his phone suddenly vibrated. He looked down: Shi Qingran’s number was displayed on the screen.

“Ali, do you recognize this token?” Mu Xiqing asked, stretching her hand to offer it to Su Zhi Li, unable to make sense of it herself.

The battle flared up again. Lin Yi’s movements shifted constantly, and he managed to circle behind his opponent using a most peculiar method. Yet the other seemed prepared, and just as Lin Yi moved behind him, he struck back with a swift attack aimed directly at Lin Yi’s heart.

She couldn’t understand why her spatial hundred-step fist, which had always been invincible, suddenly seemed like mere child’s play in front of this man.

Tang Xuan handed all the demon fire talismans to Lin Ying. Then, opening the porcelain vial, a fragrant aroma filled the air, white smoke billowed, and spiritual energy swirled.

Now, the three from QG had to race against time, focusing all their firepower on Thresh.

She thought Xu Daniu had grown up to be a truly warm-hearted man and quite handsome at that—she wondered which lucky lady would end up with him.

Olaf, just reaching the lane, immediately hurled a reverse undertow, landing it right on Darius as he was last-hitting minions.

Meanwhile, Xie Yan, also from this year’s training camp, had already become a professional League of Legends player.

The other zombies, drawn by the loud crash of the shattered coffee pot, abandoned the corpses on the floor and shambled over, only to be blocked by the marble bar that reached chest height.

While Lu Xingluo was running herself ragged, Zhang Xiu had the children keep an eye on the old woman, while she herself led the Bai and Yang families and visited each household, worried that the turmoil over Ame might unsettle anyone.

Clad in a skirt of grass leaves, her skin was dark, and her hair was coiled together in thick, snake-like strands.

Just before the protective barrier shattered, Zhen Mulin had already applied two pre-made Fleetfoot Charms to both her pet and herself.

The Crane Guard soldiers, though tasked with protecting the palace, were mostly scions of wealthy families in Luoyang, pampered and rarely blooded in battle—so their fighting power was far inferior to the elite Left Tiger Dragon Army.

The assistant stepped forward to serve tea to Li Bai and Mr. Li, then quietly closed the meeting room door.

Once outsiders had left, Phantom tidied up the secret room and, as usual, activated the hidden surveillance, hoping to catch a few big fish from the Valley of the Gods. Preparations complete, she teleported to the sea’s surface. The weather was perfect; she piloted her craft through the atmosphere and soared into space.

Yan Zhen, aware of the value of the Weakness Talisman, accepted it at once and hid it in his robes.

With a sharp cry, he charged at the two, knowing he couldn’t get past without dealing with them first. Though furious, he also felt a tinge of bitter helplessness.

Master Xu You’s gaze was complicated. He urged her to rise again and again, but she refused to get up.

A third of the troll’s face was blown away, leaving a gaping bloody pit that exposed the pale bones beneath—a terrifying sight.

Wuying Yanhun was the first to react. He rushed forward to block the monstrous beast for Ye Haochuan.

“Kill me! Even if you do, you’ll get nothing!” Zhou Han shouted, shaking the ring engraved with talismanic patterns on his left ring finger.

Sure enough, Yin Jiu’s form gradually vanished from sight, only to reappear in midair. It was as if he’d disappeared for a moment, materializing again out of thin air.

The gatekeeper opened the letter, scrutinizing it carefully, occasionally glancing up at Fang Cheng. At last, he closed the letter.

The cataclysm on Burial Island sent waves of dread through the surrounding sea life, as if doomsday had come. Creatures fled at their utmost speed, diving deep into the ocean’s embrace.
