Chapter 103: You Are Not Suited to Each Other

Fulin sighed softly at her words. So many years had passed, and she had changed far too much; there was no way for them to return to what they once were.

“I am helping you of my own free will.”

Gu Shenshen was not the sort to be coy, yet with Fulin alone she seemed to become uncharacteristically restrained, and she did not wish to owe him any favor. If she had not been forced into it, why would she ever have gone to him for help?

...

The black cat in the distance was still walking when the light in its eyes faded. With its blood and energy depleted and its muscles and bones pushed to the limit, it was now utterly exhausted. Even if it were to burst with latent power in ordinary times, it could never have performed as it had before.

The future of a Star Lord lay in the boundless sea of stars. When a cultivator advanced to that realm, both body and source power evolved toward adapting to the cosmic heavens.

Thinking of this, Claire lunged forward without hesitation, braced one hand on the ground, and executed a textbook roll behind cover. As expected, the bamboo behind him was already in ruin; a whole line of upright stalks had been torn to shreds, and the pitiful sight sent a chill through anyone who saw it.

The brief communication ended there. After waiting about ten minutes, all the teammates had arrived. Yaezakura had been dragged out of bed, still bristling with obvious morning temper as she glared viciously at Yu Yi. If Yu Yi could not offer a proper explanation, this would not end so easily.

Before long, the team leader, Zhao Liang, had his green helmet replaced with a black one, while Tian Liang crouched in a corner clutching his own helmet and sobbing.

In truth, that was exactly how it was. By the middle of the run, Xu Bao had already surged far ahead. The gap was enormous; no one could catch up. Even the second and third place players had the feeling that they were gazing up at the stars.

After getting off the plane and arriving in Fuyuki, where the Holy Grail War was to take place, Illya finally asked the question she had been holding in for a long time—though not really that long, only since leaving the Einzbern estate, packing up her things, and flying to Fuyuki.

Now, hearing Orange say that the spiritual energy was dense, and with "Xuan Kong Mountain" carrying a name that sounded distinctly Daoist, Wu Ren suddenly had a bold idea.

“I know it! I know it!” many soldiers cried eagerly. Among the men of the Rampart Battalion were people from Hebei, and many were surrendering troops who had once been from Yecheng. To be able now to plunder the great houses they had long been unable even to approach, they could hardly contain their delight.

“I’m confused too. How did I get so carried away talking? I’ll go make dinner. You and your father can have a couple of drinks tonight!” Mother said as she wiped her hands and headed for the kitchen, smiling all the way. Her child had made something of himself; all those miserable days were behind them. It truly was time to live with ease and contentment.

“Why? Is it too hard on you?” Qianshui asked. Why else would she stop? Was there some problem with her body?

It had a pair of translucent horns like deer antlers on its head, and two large eyes that shimmered with a wet, lively brightness. There was still a childish innocence on its face; plainly, it was nothing more than a child not yet grown.

“She likes me a lot, lots and lots. She always gives me candy, unlike my sister,” said Su Doudou, nodding hard.

If he had such a pill to assist him, it would not take long before he could cultivate to the ninth level of Awakening Blood and fully rouse his purple-golden blood. He had never imagined that when Huangfu Jie bestowed the medicine, he would actually place such a pill into his hands.

Could it be that even Earth was unknown to them? Was Earth perhaps so special that even the Heavenly Platform did not know of it?

Yan Shu grinned, half his body leaning against Yan Chi, while Yan Chi’s every pore seemed to radiate displeasure and disdain toward him.

Then Ye Qing walked over and saw these words written beneath the statue’s foot: Bow a thousand times, and I shall command you.

Begin. Ye Qing spoke.

At once he activated Wind and Thunder Step and appeared before Zhang Wuji in an instant. Raising his foot, he unleashed Wind and Thunder Kick. This time, Ye Qing used all his strength.
