Chapter 156: As Long As You Don't Die, Anything Goes

"Clang!"

With the resounding strike of the bronze gong, the number one contestants from both teams stepped onto the arena with trembling legs. Their mortality rate was the highest.

The number one of the red team leaped first, landing steadily on the tempered glass pane and exhaling a long sigh of relief.

The number one of the blue team was not nearly as fortunate. With a sharp crash, the sugar-glass shattered beneath his weight, plunging him down from a height of over a dozen meters to slam heavily into the ground, where he lay motionless.

...

"The Far East Theater is our blind spot. The fall of Norma this time is the price we pay for our negligence," an elderly voice suddenly echoed from within one of the glowing metal pillars.

"I hope what you are saying is true." Looking at QB, who had visibly relaxed, Lin Ai shook her head once more. He was far too prone to trusting others so easily. Yet, lacking further evidence to press the matter, continuing to dwell on it would only lower her own standing. She could only nod and offer him a warning gaze.

"Hello..." Baal looked Lin Ai and the others up and down. A nameless chill crept over Lin Ai, giving her the eerie sensation of being completely seen through.

Moreover, that person had explicitly told Xu Wuyou at the very end that this was the reward for persevering until now. Had he failed to hold out to this point, such a reward would have been entirely out of the question.

In this class of senior year, section seven, his only friends were likely just three people... his desk mate Gu Yuanliang, the martial arts student Sun Hui, and the person sitting behind him, Feng Weiqi.

She was currently walking through Xuan Yi's plotline. With this brief side quest drawing to a close, it was only natural for her to return to the main track.

This aura was all too familiar to Ye Tian. It was the fierce and baleful intent unleashed spontaneously by the Defying Heaven technique to protect its master when activated, interwoven with a trace of the purifying radiance belonging to generations of eminent Buddhist monks.

Regarding Ling Hao's words, Chen Xiangfu seemed genuinely perplexed. In her view, cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Realm were all exceptionally powerful in their own right, and their strengths appeared roughly matched. If scores were to be distinguished solely based on cultivation levels, wouldn't that be even more unfair?

Image after image—each resplendent, breathtaking, and luxurious enough to rival celestial palaces, and even featuring independent giant swimming pools—some dozen pictures in total, were displayed across the screen.

Ling Hao was momentarily taken aback at these words. In truth, Lu Jiuchu, Xue Xiuyun, and the others were also engaged in combat not far away. The reason he chose this particular battlefield was precisely to single out these two individuals whose strength was slightly inferior to the top prodigies, hoping to temporarily ease the pressure and give the impression that he was conserving his strength.

When Hailan woke up, it was already noon. Hearing voices outside, she rubbed her eyes, completely oblivious to what had transpired, only to hear the door close and then Uncle Lian step inside.

"Alright, alright," Zhize waved his hand impatiently and said, "Since she hasn't met him, Xiaoxiao, you shouldn't press the matter further. Look, you've even frightened Noble Consort Xiahou to tears." I cast a cold glance at this disappointing Xiahou Qiuying and had no choice but to give up.

"A dragon?" Aloysius was clearly shocked by Haixiu's shout as well, and even he found it difficult to maintain his composure.

Mansions close to such bustling areas did not occupy prime locations; generally, only wealthy merchants and prosperous families would purchase properties in these districts, whereas the estates of high-ranking officials and nobles were all situated in tranquil sanctuaries.

Watching over a hundred terrorists charge into the mountain col, the Captain Mercenary Group and the Rising Sun Killer Syndicate members holding telescopes stared intently.

Zhang Deshuai executed his sequence of movements as smoothly as flowing water; seemingly slow, yet he accomplished it in a single breath within the span of two breaths.

The crucial point was that after leaving the Dan Shen Sect, Lin Haos route headed straight west, whereas the "Great Demon King Lin Hao" traveled consistently east, moving in the exact opposite direction of Lin Hao's personal path.

"There is nothing to hide. If we try to cover things up, their investigations will only become more unscrupulous. Only by letting them know what kind of danger they are facing will they learn to behave!" Chen Ze said with a light smile.

As Song Yunfeng's car drove into the villa area, he happened to run into Yu Yun, who was walking there. Song Yunfeng immediately told the driver to stop, got out of the car to send the driver back first, and went off to pursue Yu Yun.
