Volume One, Chapter 69: Competing in Feng Shui Assessment

Upon hearing that her peers were about to compete, Su Tong immediately straightened up. If not for her rebirth, she would never have known there were mystic arts practitioners in this world, much less what their actual level was. The master Cai she encountered last time was clearly an amateur, so she could not judge based on him.

When I woke, dawn had already broken. I stared in astonishment at the sun rising slowly in the distance. Its color was truly bizarre—amidst the crimson, there was even a trace of green. Oh my god, this certainly wasn’t Earth; perhaps it wasn’t even the Milky Way, for after all, there’s only one sun in the entire galaxy.

These words drew the attention of the others in the office, and one after another, meaningful gazes landed on Blackwood City.

Acting is an interesting affair; it’s fine to dabble occasionally, but as a main profession, it’s hardly worthwhile—the pay is simply too low.

“What? Why would you think that?” Ben Seder looked at Lang’er in surprise. Even with his understanding of Lang’er, Ben Seder found such a bold conjecture almost unbelievable.

It was already noon by the time I got home, yet my son still hadn’t returned. Shuiyue asked why I hadn’t come home last night, so I had no choice but to recount everything that had happened.

Hearing Linda say this, Tang Wanwan could only suppress her urge to speak, choosing not to interrupt Linda, to see whether Linda could coax the truth out of Zhang Qin.

Meanwhile, Li Shaomu’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter, his ink-dark eyes fixing coldly on Tang Fenfen, his expression growing ever more somber.

Yu Qingsheng had to look closely before he recognized Mario, who had entered the new world alongside Raphael the day before.

At last, I understood. Time and again, I’d heard that the Pope could not leave the Holy See, and I never understood why. Now I realized the reason, though I doubted that was all there was to it. If a secret is known to everyone, it is no secret at all—there must be more hidden beneath the surface.

With Banluo slain by Felirs, the Tahe family was left without a single capable general, their power crumbling, the nation’s military and political affairs plunged into turmoil.

Finally, after circulating my inner energy three full cycles, I touched that barrier. Gathering my resolve, I surged forward, crashing headlong into it.

At that moment, the entire island was awash in a murderous crimson mist, thick as congealed blood. Even Li Min’s clairvoyant gaze could not penetrate ten meters into the blood haze.

Having listened, Xiao Shan inwardly marveled at the ruthlessness of the plan. It was clearly designed to prevent their escape—a complete city lockdown, a slow and methodical approach. Xiao Shan’s eyes gleamed with shrewd light, and then, his expression grew solemn as he looked to Xie Tiandao.

After Lin Yu took his seat, he let his gaze sweep over each student in the classroom. With just one look, he was taken aback.

However, destroying this chaotic stone forest could not rely solely on the monks of White Horse Temple borrowing the power of the White Horse Celestial Dragon Demon Subduing Array or manifesting the Vajra to smash the stones. After all, no one yet knew the variations of the stone array. While the Vajra could split mountains and shatter rocks, it would still drain Buddhist power.

The Nanyang Overseer glanced at everyone, instructing them to implement a full lockdown on Shanghai before executing Lin Huai’s division, including a material blockade, to prevent anyone from sowing chaos or attempting a rescue. The final meeting ended with a single word from Kagezawa Zhenzhao, and everyone departed, each harboring their own schemes.

There was another moment of silence. Good heavens! A hundred thousand a year in 2005—what did that mean? Not just white-collar, but gold-collar! And not just one or two—there were many.

Meng Fei immediately focused his attention; anything Irene said with such gravity was bound to be important.

Even General MacArthur, in command of hundreds of thousands of troops, was still a tier below Xu Chongzhi and Heinrich.
