Chapter 319: How Did You Get It?

"This time, they may not be dealt with as easily as before!"

Li Changan waved his hand, gesturing for the team to halt, and spoke in a low whisper.

"We circumvent them, to test the perimeter of their defense.

Ruoxi, keep the drone monitoring; Sun Yang, bring your high-explosive warheads, prepare to create chaos the moment combat begins; Qiuyue, carry out the raid with me shortly!"

"Understood!" Everyone moved into action swiftly.

The squad quietly slinked around to the other side, using

In this vast world, among the myriad of living souls, though their visages and statures differ, they share a singular commonality: within the apertures of their minds, they are naturally endowed with seven spiritual gates—the Ancestral, the Shifting, the Metal, the Wood, the Water, the Fire, and the Earth. These seven spiritual gates are sealed within the mind close to the brow, and should anyone manage to clear even one or two, it would bring immense fortune.

"Quibbling! You used all the funds to repay the loan, so how is the company supposed to continue operating?" With that, Luo Shixun flung the ledger right before him.

These words were nothing less than pouring oil onto a fire, and Xi Jingpeng swung a fist toward Luo Yichen. Luo Yichen ducked his head, reaching out to seize Xi Jingpeng. He yanked Xi Jingpeng's arm from behind and pinned his shoulder. No matter how desperately Xi Jingpeng struggled, he could not budge an inch.

Qin Ting was waiting in the meeting room for He Liuyang to return, but what arrived first was a phone call from Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong asked her a few strange questions, and after Qin Ting answered them one by one, Zhang Yong swiftly hung up.

Shang Qi's body was trembling violently. Such a reaction brought Luo Yichen a mixture of sorrow and joy. He wished to draw closer to Shang Qi again, but she instantly fled from him. That night, he consciously moved out of the bedroom. Luo Yichen understood that the moment Shang Qi's mind recovered would be the moment his dream must end.

The Blazing Fire Shield was, after all, a distinguished presence among mid-grade defensive spells; though the black iron battle-axe had diminished it considerably, it still held out without shattering.

Madame He gently stroked He Yao's head, the worry in her eyes difficult to conceal whenever the girl looked away.

The manager handed over the keys, unable to resist stealing a few more glances at Shang Qi, his gaze tinged with astonishment. Having worked at the Luo Corporation for over a decade, he had heard rumors in the early days: Luo Yichen was intimately involved with a high-ranking executive of the company and had even divorced for it. Noticing the manager's peculiar gaze, Shang Qi felt her face flush slightly.

"Certain!" The so-called strategy of "treating a dead horse as a living one" was precisely this, for Ye Mo truly had no other recourse left at this moment.

Su Jinshe was in a daze, knowing that Yan Jue truly dared to do such a thing; she was already so wretched in front of Zixuan, and she did not wish to appear even more unsightly in his heart after her death.

An invisible, aberrant force arose, directly suppressing Shentu and Yulei, capturing them before Li Heng and tossing them into the gathered sacred entities or anomalies, making them cut a rather pitiful figure.

After darkness fell, the north wind howled outside once more, and the temperature plummeted sharply; the paths of the academy were again devoid of human presence, leaving only the clawing shadows of tree branches beneath the moonlight.

"Pfft..." Qin Mingqian failed to contain himself and burst into laughter on the spot, "Hahaha... look at the three of us, so engrossed in talking that we didn't even notice Ah Zhao's bowl." Yet it was this very smile that instantly shattered the hostility and murderous intent hanging over Qin Mingqian.

He had never believed that he betrayed the Academy of a Hundred Sages, nor did he consider himself to be on the side of the Young Master. To him, he was merely doing what he always did, making one transaction after another.

He was lost in thought, pondering that if the Seven-Tribulation World was equivalent to the Milky Way, shattering star systems with a mere gesture, then the Eight-Tribulation World should reasonably be capable of shaking the very foundations of the boundless universe.

"This fellow is dressed entirely in black, so he must prefer dark and gloomy places; living in the black market suits him perfectly, and besides, he probably doesn't want too many people knowing about him," analyzed Bai Xiaosheng.

Having nearly lost his life in the Frost Forest, and unable to learn black magic due to his lineage, he was brought to the Sebion continent by Boru, becoming a slave in the underground of the Blackthorn Coliseum.

"Humph, smooth-tongued. I do not care, you are not allowed to pluck flowers at random for no reason henceforth," Daiyu pouted, refusing to let the matter drop.
