Chapter 44: First Arrival in Qingqiu

Zhao Jianguo was so astonished by their speed that he blurted out, "Is this Marrow Cleansing Liquid really that effective? They moved so fast that if they hadn't still needed to open the door, we wouldn't even have caught a glimpse of their shadows."

Professor Sun was speechless. Is there any possibility, he thought, that they simply couldn't stand the smell of their own bodies, which made them go a bit faster? After all, they weren't wearing gas masks.

Looking at their abundant harvest, several researchers smiled broadly and said, "This time, each of us should be able to get a decent share!"

Hearing Xie Tian's words, Han Fei raised an arched eyebrow, his eyes flashing with a bright light as he looked righteously at Xie Tian.

I had previously heard Zhang Jie talk about his family situation, and Zhang Jie was quite promising when it came to his studies, unlike Yuan Dong, who had always been a poor student.

Now, with the Nightmare World creatures running rampant on Kaz Star, Wang Bing urgently needed these subordinates to help him gather intelligence so he could formulate his next strategy.

Fortunately, Ximen had some martial arts training, so he still performed exceptionally well in tonight's tasks. Even after a fierce round of indulgence, he remained energetic and without the slightest hint of fatigue. Bottle, however, was already exhausted; after barely managing to endure Master Gu's favor once, she fell fast asleep in a heavy stupor.

"Oh, haha, I'm also looking forward to their performance. Honestly, I've always been curious about what kind of master you actually have to be able to train a cold-blooded man like you, someone who can completely ignore my charms!" It was clear that Noni had suffered losses at Silim's hands and still harbored a grudge.

"Sigh, Lu Yiping, how on earth should I treat you?" Xie Yi let out a soft sigh, then decided to stop thinking about it, as the more he thought, the more confused he became.

"Yes!" Zhai Ping, whose code name was Longevity, acknowledged the order and stepped forward. Commander Wu opposite him looked to be about thirty years old and was not a Shadow Operative; even if he knew a few martial arts moves, he was definitely no match for himself—such was Zhai Ping's conviction.

Sun Xue stood in a classroom within the teaching building opposite the stage, looking down from above to observe everything on the SC University campus. Inside the classroom, countless monitoring instruments were set up, displaying the scenes transmitted from all directions of the school.

"Director, indeed, Xiaoshan is beyond reproach. With this trial, our Bureau of Military Statistics can thoroughly outshine the Central Bureau right in front of the Generalissimo. However, Xiaoshan aside, this Xiaoyuan..." Wang Pu'chen trailed off, hesitating. Seeing Wang Pu'chen stop short, Dai Li, whose face had been glowing with joy, darkened his expression and said.

After hearing Shen Zui's words, A Gui understood his intention. Shen Zui was unwilling to let Xiaoshan, Xie Tian, and the others deal with him, so he had come personally. A Gui knew that since Shen Zui had come in person, he probably wouldn't let him leave safely. With complicated emotions, Shen Zui looked at A Gui and said.

That very day, Ji Yunfei stuffed Tong Yaozu into the student squad to continue his military training, announcing to the outside world that this was the first private soldier he had recruited.

After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch. No matter how powerful an ancient technique might be, it was impossible for someone to achieve enlightenment in a day, ascend to immortality in two, and become invincible across the world in three. Yet, after repeated checks, Ziying found nothing amiss, which momentarily plunged her into the dilemma of whether to learn it or not.

However, after trying a few times, he was horrified to discover that his strength was unable to break through those silken threads. Moreover, the more he struggled, the tighter the silk wrapped around him, almost piercing into his flesh.

To prevent any hidden mechanisms inside, Huang Xuanling first swept his spiritual consciousness across the interior of the tomb chamber and, finding no abnormalities, boldly walked inside.

"Wife, you wouldn't resent me for lacking things and needing you to resolve many issues, would you?" Lin Yifeng paused, taking Zhang Ziqi's hands in his own, and gazed directly into her eyes as he asked.

"We belong to the Champion Marquess and have come to suppress the rebellious traitors Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun. Elders, you have nothing to fear; the General's subordinates never harass the common people." The captain, who was clearing the street, looked up and said with a smile upon hearing this.
