Su Yun’s limping gait had been completely exposed to He Mian, who watched every step with clear eyes, though Su Yun thought he’d hidden it well and even managed to force a smile.

Su Yun felt a wave of embarrassment—he’d been found out.

“I can—” He winced, “I can’t.” The answer changed the moment he tried to take a step.

The pain was sharp, unmistakable.

“Don’t move,” He Mian said, rolling up Su Yun’s...

[System Prompt]: Good. You now possess the potential to become an ability warrior. If you wish to unlock your superpowers, please erase either your [Martial Artist] or [Archer] class.

Although the Sea King Seal was powerful, Blue Moon’s own reserves were severely depleted, far from enough to threaten formidable foes like the Sea Demons.

Lin Chen possessed an eidetic memory; every name on the Dragon Ranking was etched in his mind. As a member of the first group charged with attacking the main island, all his teammates were elite warriors from that list.

The forest remained tranquil, a gentle breeze on the face, dewdrops dripping from the leaves to nourish the earth.

“Yes, all the immortal beasts have been slain. Also, there’s a spring flowing at the far west; the water is excellent and should suffice for our daily needs,” said Fu Xuefeng, reporting his findings.

The three entered awkwardly, scratching their heads. Pei Soo-ji suddenly sensed someone’s gaze. Puzzled, she looked back and met Jung Soo-jung’s clear, penetrating eyes.

In his palm, there flickered a faint, visible ghostly flame. It danced in the thin air, casting a deep violet aura, its eerie flashes devouring the life force within Feng Hen with every pulse.

“Awooo!” Consumed by the baleful energy, the gray wolf experienced agony beyond measure. Its once-proud fur began to shed, and the majestic beast was reduced to a pitiful state, collapsing to the ground to writhe and howl.

“Five and a half billion!” came a deep voice from VIP Room Twelve. The Azure Emperor was stunned—what was going on?

The ancient tomb was dark and solemn, an acrid scent of decay lingering in the air. Long Jiaoyang had already activated the Transforming Spirit Formula, his gaze like twin beams of violet light piercing the tomb’s depths.

In the kitchen, Adele pricked up her ears—though in truth, she could hear perfectly well without trying.
