Chapter 306: Until You All Meet the Standard

"Second, Ruoxi, your reaction time was swift enough, but your arc energy consumption was far too heavy—mind your economy.

Third, Qiuyue, though you are steady, your offensive cadence is slightly sluggish; you must heighten your efficiency!"

"Captain, what about me?" Bai Lin asked, adjusting his spectacles.

"You fared well enough!" Li Changan nodded.

"But you could be faster!"

"Fair enough, let us keep improving!" Sun Yang sighed.

"Captain, how much longer must this training last?"

"I am not buying." This time, Shen Donghai had exhausted the last vestiges of his patience, possessing no desire to further entertain Lyu Jue. "If you wish to buy it, buy it yourself." With that, he departed.

Even the proprietor of the Nine Flavors Restaurant did not manage to escape unscathed; it was said that Zhang Fan was inspecting the ingredients for the following day when he discovered the sudden conflagration, whereupon he hurriedly rallied his staff to flee, yet he himself missed the optimal moment of escape and perished within the sea of fire.

"In truth, I merely asked in passing, so do not take it to heart; go on and attend to your own affairs." Xu Mei spoke in haste, as though she had discerned Ji Xuan's thoughts.

Everyone stared upward blankly through the courtyard atrium, their eyes betraying both terror and a look of sheer disbelief.

"Come, try my culinary handiwork." With these words, she slid the carved steak toward Xing Lie's side.

The Mobile Construction Vehicle, or MCV, boasted a gross weight exceeding three thousand tons, a colossal vehicle of such magnitude as the Earth had never before witnessed.

The Lord's decision to command Zhuge Liang to lead troops and quell the rebellion was not entirely free from the subtle instigations of the three of them behind the scenes.

"Who might that be?" Aside from Mo Li, with whom she was well acquainted, she truly could not fathom who else Tang Moyun might have fallen for.

"Mm… very well, we shall proceed in that manner!" Pady agreed, raising his finger toward Sir Bipu as if wanting to say something, but the words faltered on the tip of his tongue and went unspoken.

The freezing gale outside the command post raged on, its rhythmic, whistling sighs echoing in everyone's ears alongside Minnie Vatu's words, causing the hearth fires in the grand hall to flicker to and fro, casting shadows upon Pady's astonished countenance.

The resources of the Earth were scarce, and it was not as though every faction or individual possessed the means, like the great clans, to amass spiritual herbs for the refining of elixirs, making it only natural for these people to look on with envious eyes.

Reflecting on his previous visit to Tong'an Hall, where he had carried himself with such a suave and sanctimonious air, today's stark contrast brought an immense sense of gratification.

Wu LiLi naturally categorized Wang Jing, who had always carried himself with a touch of foolishness, into the latter camp; he was dense, so she would have to make her intentions even more obvious.

For this Gongyang Er was a rare hybrid of demon beast and human lineage, whose soul-form possessed a peculiar aspect, and moreover, Gongyang Er held the ninth rank among the examinees, wielding formidable strength.

The high-tier Nascent Soul cultivator was the first to speak, leaving Lin Feng even more astonished upon hearing the query; that this person should even know his name—who on earth could he be?

Somchai carried about him the inherent aura of a contemporary hegemon, instilling a sense of overwhelming, mountain-crushing pressure in others.

The entirety of the vast canyon was utterly leveled in that single instant, and the powerful King of Sea Swords was reduced to a mere pulp of flesh.

A semi-immortal artifact contained a formidable power within, which only a master of the Pantheon Realm could barely unleash; thus, even if one were to bestow the semi-immortal weapon upon the Food Lord, it could only manifest a might slightly superior to that of a Source Weapon.

"Alright, let us log in~" Having finished breakfast, Yu Chen spoke; he had not been online for an entire day, and with no inkling of what had transpired within the game, Yu Chen had grown accustomed to the feeling that missing a single day was akin to being estranged from the gaming world.

However, the blending with the soul's aura yielded effects that extended beyond this single facet; what astonished Feng Le even more was that, with just a slight concentration of his spiritual energy, he could faintly control external objects from a distance, a discovery that filled him with great delight.

It so happened that Huang Qian reached out to him, and the moment Liu Yunfei caught sight of her expression in the video transmission, he knew the matter had reached its conclusion.

"I have no need for money, though I do require a batch of medicinal ingredients." Chen Qiang suddenly conceived an excellent notion; enlisting Ye Youdao's aid to gather herbs for his elixir refinement would certainly yield twice the result with half the effort, for as a member of the upper class, the man surely possessed the means to acquire rare and precious botanicals.
