Volume 1, Chapter 25: I Am the Best Friend You Have in the World

Jiutian paced back and forth in his bedroom. Compared to the years of research conducted by the Orchid Garden, two weeks was but a fleeting moment. Was it even possible to achieve in two weeks what others had taken years to accomplish?

In the blink of an eye, the situation shifted; from a position of advantage, Tingshu’s Beautifly began to fall behind.

It was precisely because his skills were inferior that during the chaotic melee last night, he had only been able to gesture from the perimeter, unable to get anywhere near the Ghost-Faced Fox, and thus remained unscathed.

However, a single strike from the Bloodless Sword could not shatter the Celestial Guardian protection of the White Bamboo Guest. It required constant accumulation. Of course, even if the shield did not break, the White Bamboo Guest still suffered heavy impacts when struck, inevitably causing his body to stagger uncontrollably or even be knocked over.

The Continental Youth Tournament was only three months away, and people across the continent were making their preparations.

Jixi and Yali had been beaten until they were a bloody mess, clinging to their final breaths. Chantelin gradually ceased his offensive, and Lin Yanyu let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing the scattered, makeshift defensive lines left behind by the Syrian government forces, the commander became even more convinced that his opponents were pushovers. Before setting out, his superiors had mentioned that Syrian government forces were stationed in this direction and had ordered him to bring more elite troops for the mission.

In truth, one million immortal crystals were certainly enough to establish the Immortal Spirit Sect in the Cloud Heaven Realm; in fact, it would not even require that much—a hundred would suffice.

For Zhou An at this moment, the most immediate and viable path to growth was to break through the Celestial Guardian stage through the external cultivation of martial arts.

Thus, the three seemingly unrelated battles were paving the way for the master plan from the very beginning, complementing one another perfectly. If any piece were missing, the entire plan would collapse.

Seeing Xia Yan so severely injured, Yi Beihan had no mind to ponder Chu Weiwei’s intentions. He sat on the edge of the bed with a furrowed brow, reaching out to caress Xia Yan’s cheek. Watching her suffer, the pain in his heart was no less than the agony in her arm.

I was swept up into Ji Hetong’s arms. Despite my agitation, my body remained rigid even as he carried me.

"Oh no, it’s the Twin Heroes of the Lin family—retreat!" Upon spotting the two elders, the man in black was struck with immediate terror. Without a moment’s hesitation, he abandoned his attempt on my life and fled through the window.

As I approached the ancient well, a wave of dizziness washed over me. My body went limp, and I fell to my knees uncontrollably. The black symbols on the ritual banners seemed to sprout wings, fluttering and circling before my eyes.

"Damn it!" Seeing the slightly blackened egg, Yi Beihan couldn't help but curse. He grabbed another egg and tried again.

Of course, Xia Xin didn't mind at all taking the blame for all the sins Xia Ye had committed in a "moment of impulse."

She had once cared deeply, feeling wronged. As a manager, she believed that proper handling and a clear distinction between rewards and punishments were necessary. She had done all of that, yet she was spoken of in such a way, while Ah Ye, who acted exactly the same, was praised to the heavens.

There were still many mysteries left unsolved. For instance, how did Wu Peng know how to use the "Three Ghosts Grinding" method to lure out the Rootless Flower? Who had taught him these techniques?

Yi Beihan strode in, completely ignoring Chu Weiwei. He walked straight to the familiar figure on the hospital bed. Seeing the cast on her arm, his sword-like brows instantly furrowed in distress.

Xia Xin had great confidence in himself. If anything, he suspected that Xia Wushuang had long since lost his virginity.

It wasn't until he reached this valley that Zhang Chen realized his previous assumptions were wrong. It wasn't that the Fire Phoenix egg was difficult to hatch; it was that Zhang Chen had been using the wrong methods entirely.

With exams just finished, the students at Hogwarts breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of how they had performed. It was a time for relaxation, and everyone began packing their belongings, preparing to head home.

Kan Zhidong stared fixedly at the sculpture of the bull mounting the bear downstairs. He knew that if the bull truly overturned the bear, Southern Securities might still have a chance, but given the current situation, it was clearly beyond saving.

For example, the connections between provincial capitals are also part of national security strategy. Because the railways are built underground, their security is higher than that of ordinary railways.

"He doesn't even realize that we intend to connect this passage to the Divine Realm," the young Luca said.

She knew that Chen Qiaoshan and Li Xiaolin did not get along, though she was not entirely sure why. As classmates, she didn't want the tension between them to escalate, so she tried to mediate.

"However, as a grandmother, seeing the child covered in red spots and swelling, you should have gone to the hospital long ago. The pain this child endured before falling into shock is something you could never imagine or have ever experienced," Song Ping'an said, staring sharply at the child's grandmother.

Although they were not particularly close, meeting at this moment lifted both their spirits.

Yanjing is a massive city, now home to nearly fifteen million permanent residents. To accidentally encounter the only person one is related to among so many people was only slightly more probable than winning the grand prize in the lottery. This truly surprised Chen Qiaoshan.

Zhen Fei was also desperate. He had been beaten by Liu Yuan not long ago, and now he was being targeted again. Had he not been unable to defeat his opponent, he would have certainly struck back long ago.

"What's happening? What's going on? Could the rebel army have attacked?" many asked in panic.

Back when Xiao Yue was at the Third Heaven of Enlightenment, he possessed only nine hundred jin of strength. Although he did not have the Chaos Immortal Body at that time, but rather a mere Immortal Body, the Immortal Body was a legendary physique that slightly surpassed the War Dragon Divine Physique.
