Chapter Seventy-Seven: Two Consecutive Losses

Ye Lin swiftly lifted his card for a quick glance, then gazed expressionlessly at Ma Wu, smiling as he said, “What’s wrong, afraid to reveal your card?” In a duel between masters, not only skill but psychological tactics are crucial. Ye Lin knew this well; he wouldn’t let Ma Wu see any change in his expression. On the contrary, he kept provoking Ma Wu with words, trying to read the truth of his hand from Ma Wu’s face.

But Ma Wu neither revealed his card nor even looked at it...

Although Cheng Shansheng was delighted to have dreamed of “the Star,” the joy was tinged with disappointment. After all, it had taken so much effort to gain a lucid dream on his own, yet he had learned nothing from it.

After all that had happened today, Li Bai suddenly realized that with such valuable resources at his disposal, why should he work for others? His obsession with the protagonist of “Terminator” cooled considerably.

He was a man of confidence, certain that he could win a different impression from Ye Qian by relying on his own abilities.

“Wait until you make something of yourself, then talk to me. I’m off work now.” The receptionist clearly heard the flirtatious undertone in Cheng Shansheng’s words, tossed out this line, then turned and left.

Li Bai nodded and replied, “Understood.” The two then exchanged stories of recent events in their lives. Usually, Li Bai asked most of the questions and Ye Qian answered. Ye Qian assumed Li Bai had been busy with renovations at the bar, so she didn’t press for details.

“I can’t believe it’s actually Lin Zidang’s supermarket! Fate really keeps bringing him into our circle!” In a black sedan, a man with a somber expression spoke in a cold, clear voice.

“It’s also possible... she couldn’t handle the ordeal. If the research didn’t yield results, she might not have survived,” Cheng Yunjing murmured weakly from the side.

People from the Fengyang Base were some distance away and didn’t know which base was having an internal conflict. When they finally heard the words “Fengyang Base,” their hearts skipped a beat and they hurried over.

Yet Ye Jingzhi was strategic; since the bathroom door wouldn’t open and the servant had gone for the key, Ye Jingzhi heard unusual sounds from outside during this interval. Instead of letting the servant open the door, he found an excuse to send them away.

But the other party seemed to have no intention of attacking her, simply leaning against the wall, gazing up at the sky in silence.

Shock overwhelmed An Lan’s face—words could not capture her astonishment. No wonder both Wang Yue and Shangguan Mulian praised this individual’s excellence; it turned out to be Xue Bing from Yanjing.

“Yeah!” The group with Qin Yan immediately cheered upon hearing the name. As for GDP and the others, not to mention Harden and George, they were truly happy for their brother.

When the fighter jets failed to attack, the military turned to missiles. Yet soon after launch, just as they were about to hit the monster, the missile system crashed.

Many unscrupulous media outlets even claimed that Qin Yan was finished, that he was just clinging to his past glory and barely scraping by.

At the mention of food, Liu Sheng’s eyes lit up and he eagerly nodded his agreement. As a true foodie, eating was his greatest temptation.

The martial aura in the air surged and poured into Yun Feiyang’s body, merging into his dantian.

The sword energy Yun Feiyang gathered shattered all four lightning tribulations in succession, and, still carrying its momentum, blasted toward the thunderclouds above.

Huai Liang was deeply moved; disregarding the thousands of degrees’ heat, he stood transfixed before the furnace, watching the molten steel slowly flow through the trough while turning to ask Master Zhou.

The Ancient Immortal Emperor Po once participated in the Nine Emperors’ Martial Debate and had even crossed swords with the Heaven-Shaking Immortal Emperor. The result was, of course, defeat. After that, the two never met again, and news of the Heaven-Shaking Immortal Emperor within the domain became increasingly scarce.

After hearing Sun Cheng’s words, Liu Feng and Song Qian naturally said no more. The martial path ultimately hinges on opportunity and insight; with a chance for advancement, it would be unthinkable to waste it.

After their child was born, the couple even went through the ceremony of commissioning two jade pendants, declaring them tokens of their betrothal.
