Chapter 117: Competitive Spirit

Like Tang Lüwu, in a simple makeshift shed, a young boy sat under the flickering light of an oil lamp, carefully writing character by character.

Inside the shed stood a large bed, its base made of wooden planks. In the middle lay a layer of dry grass, chosen to repel mosquitoes, and atop that was a soft mattress.

Several men were sound asleep on the bed, lying side by side, each covered by his own quilt.

One of them was awakened by the urge to urinate. He slowly sat up, only to be startled by the earnest figure engrossed in writing nearby.

The progress was truly remarkable. Just yesterday, Chu Nan could barely last two or three moves under Leng Zixuan’s hand, but now he could hold out for over ten minutes without defeat.

Upon entering the space this time, only a quick wash was done, so Yi Yi didn’t step into the water pit. She was determined not to bathe again.

Now, Chu Nan headed to the First Martial Hall. Training was only part of the reason; more importantly, he wanted to show off. After all, there were very few who could challenge him, though that didn’t stop many fools from provoking him.

Zuo Liangna seemed taken aback by Sasuke’s performance. She involuntarily moved closer to the large pillar in front of her. Feeling her movement, the pillar relaxed slightly, no longer so tense, and said nothing.

After emptying the contents inside, Naraku tossed the bottle aside, tilting his head as he offered a brief explanation to Shiji, as if to ease his mind.

The strongest warriors on Earth were equally astonished. Only then did they realize that the aliens of the Gus Alliance were not just advanced in technology but also possessed strength comparable to their own.

“Husband, come here,” Yang Yang called out, still waiting for Yi Yi to return in the same shop where she had just picked out some items.

However, Chu Yu’s hands roaming over him made Chu Nan somewhat embarrassed, even though she hadn’t actually touched anything intimate.

The convoy stretched on endlessly, with the distance between its two ends exceeding forty zhang. Yet, the two shouts of “Robbery!” seemed to come from the same voice, identical in volume and tone despite the distance.

“Qianye, you’re from outside. Could you tell me about the outside world? What I know is only inherited memories, mostly about the general situation thousands of years ago,” Cheng Xiao said.

For this reason, Black Scorpion watched the chaotic figure before him, whose cultivation had just broken through, now dazed and losing the will to fight.

I walked over and took the quilt from my sister-in-law’s hands, spreading it neatly on the ground. Thus, my little nest was complete.

“No, I’m sorry. I just instinctively tried to dodge. I didn’t mean to look down on you,” said Xiao Sixteen, stepping closer as he saw Cui Luo’s saddened expression. Remembering the humiliation she had endured, he gently pressed his forehead against hers and kissed her red lips. If this could bring her redemption, he would not shy away.

If the hope in front of her were to vanish, she would fall into deep despair. But then, she could pair up with Leng Haoxuan—one with mental illness, the other depressed. What a perfect match they would make.

In the past, not only would he blame others for merely hurting someone, but even if he killed someone, he would only say they were unlucky or an eyesore to him.

Finally, after plundering dozens of people, Xiao Xiao’s body trembled. Black flames surged forth, and his internal spiritual energy suddenly soared. Crossing the late stage of the Seventh Realm of Spirit Fusion, he leaped directly into the late stage of the Eighth Realm.

At last, it began to snow. She had always yearned to see the drifting snow of the northern lands, for that was the most magnificent sight of his homeland. She wished to see what kind of soil and water had nurtured that man—handsome as the bright moon, cold as the winter mountain.

At that moment, I realized I could take out the red wooden strip. Holding it in my hand, it felt heavy. Without much thought, I put it in my pocket.

When the dark beast saw the lightning flash, its pupils constricted violently. Just as it was about to teleport away, it suddenly found the space around it completely sealed off. The unexpected turn left it momentarily stunned.
