As the sour and astringent liquor slid down his throat into his stomach, Sheng Mo immediately felt a physical change. His somewhat aching muscles recovered instantly, brimming with a powerful sensation.

Yet...

He couldn't help but feel that this sense of strength was illusory; perhaps a little while later, his condition would turn even worse than before.

Though it was already too late, Sheng Mo still mustered his dwindling confidence and asked, bracing himself:

Why didn't you let Huo Zhiyao drink it?

Huo Zhiyao as well—

Subsequently, he spent two days exposed to the elements in the wilderness, eating no food and drinking only water, making himself look travel-worn and weary, before heading up Qingfeng Mountain with five thousand taels of silver.

Afterward, Bruce treated Charlie as a suspect, subjecting him to isolated interrogation while simultaneously ordering a search of all aircraft within Hollywood.

Bai Gang clearly saw the corpse of a skeleton soldier beside him suddenly turn into a phantom. Although it returned to a solid state in the blink of an eye, there was no doubt that the adhesive force between the two dimensional fragments was already weakening.

Facing the interception of a defending player charging straight at him, Gao Chuan executed a reverse elastico, spinning the ball in a wide circle. Taking his left foot as the pivot, the ball traced a circumferential path closely hugging his right foot.

Although Ye Lan could not understand it either, this time she chose to invest ten billion in trusting Li Wei, because in her view, this was a man who could not be measured by conventional logic.

This was the solemn guarantee promised to them by Emperor Makahito at the dawn of his ascension, and the very reason why so many of them had spent their lives styling themselves as pirates, plundering passing merchant vessels and incurring the wrath of both gods and men, yet still plunged into this enterprise without a moment of hesitation.

At that moment, Dad came back, and Mom had also finished packing the changes of clothes, bringing along Liuhong's jade bracelet as well. At nine o'clock, Liu Qing used straps to bind his denim duffel bag of clothes onto the luggage rack of the motorcycle, and with me and Mom hitching a ride, we set off from Yangjia Village, arriving at the new dormitory for me and Liu Qing in the county town by nine-thirty.

"I couldn't ask for more." At this moment, the competitive spirit in Li Tianfeng's heart was also thoroughly ignited. Without wasting any more words with the crowd, he, along with Wen Tiange and You Hongming, headed up toward the Heavenly Ascension Ladder.

Bai Liu had an idea, but no concrete plan. Constrained by her desire to keep others in the dark, she couldn't even go directly to Zhou Xiangnan's house to find him.

Fortunately, Song Du was generally fine, aside from having been frozen for too long, coupled with an empty stomach and motion sickness, which left her body very weak.
