Chapter 60: Learning
A dull, heavy thud resounded, much like a massive hammer striking violently against a wall. A crisp cracking sound followed as a fine fissure split the wall where the tennis ball had hit, then rapidly branched out in all directions from the point of impact.
It wasn't until breakfast time that I truly realized something was amiss.
With a sudden, powerful surge, the fish leaped forward, finally clearing the torrential rapids to reach the tranquil riverbed. Utterly exhausted, it mustered the last of its strength for a final flick of its tail, scattering tiny golden specks into the water to sow the continuation of life.
Mo Tong murmured thoughtfully and led Xu Tang into a nearby shopping mall. Struck suddenly by the chill of the air conditioning, everyone else instantly wore the revitalized expression of people coming back to life.
According to etiquette, the groom should wait in the front hall for the bride's father to place her into his hands. However, flouting convention, Lu Jue walked directly into the Huaihuai Water Pavilion, shared a parting banquet with Zhou Ruoshui, and knelt together with her to bid farewell to their parents before departure.
After saying so much without a single mention connecting to Zhou Ruoshui, Liu Fuling couldn't help but wonder if the two of them had ever truly met. If they really had, how could he only recognize Zhou Ruoning five years later?
This assembly member was an expatriate envoy sent by the council, here to inform Hu Yue that the national parliament had passed a vote deciding to grant him the status of a legislator.
Qian Wan curled her lips, recalling the annoying Luoshen flower fairy from the upper realm, and tossed the teapot aside with a trace of disgust just as someone knocked on the door.
Up ahead, a large army descended from the foot of the mountain toward the highlands, though from the heights, they appeared only as vague, indistinct silhouettes.
Liu Ming did not raise his head to look at Liu Yu. This girl was growing increasingly clever; not only was her imagination boundless, but she was also exceptionally sensitive, having completely guessed his intentions. He only hoped she would not discover his soul's reincarnation too early.
"Destroyed by the purple lightning? I knew it, you could never withstand this supreme destructive power! Hahaha..." Liying retreated into the distance, laughing madly.
"Us? Of course he hates us, otherwise why would he lie to us?" Sha Duutian glared with intense fury, wishing he could tear Mojo Yang apart.
A chilling voice echoed, completely shattering the last shred of hope deep within Su Mengyao's heart.
The atmosphere froze instantly. The men in black had originally arrived with arrogant aggression, planning to crush the Gezhan tribe in a single blow using their numerical advantage. Never had they imagined that a few strange individuals would suddenly appear. Even more terrifying was the fact that these oddly dressed people had struck down their comrades without anyone even seeing how they made their move.
Today marked the graduation ceremony for the Naval Academy's very first class of one hundred and eighty elite officers.
Li Jing'er lost consciousness entirely. This time, she was truly exhausted—so tired that she could no longer hold on.
"How is Mengyao's condition?" Before Gu Ling'er could react, a hand grabbed her arm, and a piercing pain swept through her.
On one hand, he accepted the official title conferred by Zhu Youjian; on the other, under the banner of rescuing the sovereign, he mobilized troops from all directions. By late June, Sha Dingzhou launched a frantic rebellion, and Mu Tianbo hastily ordered various local chieftains to dispatch troops to suppress it.
"Probably so." Whether Lord Mie mie had reached adulthood she could not be certain, but the Blood-Pact Rabbit was merely a lord-tier juvenile.
Lu Ping offered a slight smile. In this era, empty formalities were rampant; as long as the appearance was maintained, actual substance was entirely unnecessary.
Chen Yang pondered slowly in his heart, while those objects detached themselves from above and rushed fiercely toward him, as if seeking to verify his guess.
Gao Shuzhen's expression appeared as though shrouded by a heavy, lowering cloud, and a few stray locks of hair clung to her cheeks, lending her a somewhat disheveled air.
She had Bi Yu come to the academy simply out of fear that Bi Yu would run around and get into trouble during the day. Once Bi Yu coordinated with the academy, none of her subjects would count toward her grades—all her exam scores would remain blank, nor would she join the symphonies—thus causing the academy not a single penny of loss.
Realizing this, Deng Congfei felt he was getting closer and closer to that secret, just a hair's breadth away from the truth.
"We should go somewhere more remote. By the way, aren't you worried that the pills you're refining might get snatched? How can you be so unconcerned?" Tianwu asked curiously.
At this thought, the punk gritted his teeth against the pain and scrambled back to his feet, intending to launch an even more ferocious attack on Chen Yang.
Thirdly, he hoped to use this method to make all nations realize his strength. If even nuclear missiles could do nothing to him, who would dare to continue sanctioning and striking China?
He had been utterly tormented by these exams. Every time he sent out high-achieving students, they returned having placed dead last, and the teaching quality of Caesar Academy had already become the laughingstock of all the other academies.
"Zaobao, you sit right here while Mom goes to get you some food. What would you like to eat?" Jiang Qiao settled Jiang Chiezao in place, preparing to fetch their meals.
Yet upon returning home, Zimei locked her bedroom door, refusing entry to anyone, leaving Ling Yue outside feeling quite perplexed.
For some reason, upon hearing those few words, a sweet sensation welled up in her heart.
Growing old together hand in hand, depending on each other through thick and thin, until the very threshold of death, still whispering deep expressions of concern for one's lifelong partner.
As a director, what he valued most was naturally the company's profitability—the more money it made, the greater his dividends would be.
Qiqi merged directly with the angel's soul, pure white wings unfurling behind her as divine radiance continuously orbited her body.
"The Shu army has finally retreated..." The Wu generals, who had held the line for a full day, let out a heavy breath upon seeing the enemy withdraw, and asked the commander, "How many more days must we hold out?" The Wu soldiers were utterly exhausted by today's assaults.
Having finished speaking, the Supreme Elder seemed utterly fatigued, waving a hand as if unwilling to utter another word.
"Hmph! You run amok the moment I'm not around. Do you even know what you've done?" Dongtian said angrily.
Judging by the baseline of the brow-heavy player and his cousin, simply making the playoffs should pose no major issues. Next season certainly looks promising.
Glancing sideways at Wen Bao, Wen Bao instantly dropped to his knees like an obedient child, waiting for the proprietress to speak.
Dongtian turned around and nearly died of fright. A beaming, sunlit Laura had materialized right before him.
