After a long day of fatigue, students trudged toward their dormitories, eager for a good sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When still twenty or thirty meters away, Macken prepared to accelerate, planning to slash Qin Song dead upon closing the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangze Palace noticed that even as fireballs scorched her, Ji Tian Xiao’s expression remained utterly unmoved, as if she had full confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A year had passed since the dueling incident; after completing Shangze Palace’s task, Mingpiao Qiuren had cut off all contact, deliberately distancing himself from Shangze Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Huanggu’s baffling behavior flashed back in Lin Hong’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When ignited, the flame turned black, emitting no light, only a peculiar stench spreading through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But currently, Leng Xiyao no longer needed to reinforce the hive’s security—since the mycelial tumor hadn’t been unlocked, the base’s mycelial expansion was painfully slow, and Zerglings were sufficient for defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To make the Star River a battlefield—what a grand ambition!” Qin Shi sighed deeply. He had once witnessed the intricate layout beneath Cold Cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All people are selfish, especially when facing enemies in life-or-death combat—they can trust only their own, and even those within the same large force will be met with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come out!” This was Song Wuduan’s first words as he crouched, covering Sima Qingyun’s twisted face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man resembled him so closely—could he be a relative? Their gazes did not linger long; Guo Lin quietly noted him, then turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wu Xu arrived in Song, a rebellion by the Hua clan broke out, so he fled with Tai Jian to Zheng. The people of Zheng treated them kindly. Tai Jian later went to Jin, where Duke Jing of Jin said: “Tai has won Zheng’s trust; Zheng believes in Tai. If Tai can be an inside agent while I attack from outside, Zheng will surely fall. After conquering Zheng, I shall grant Tai a fief.” Tai returned to Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think Chu Tao will sink into despair?” Chu Tao cast a sidelong glance, smiling like a sharp blade. Instantly, the third bowl of wine was drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huangpu River flowed through here, its width roughly five hundred meters. Zhao Gan and his companion had crossed less than two hundred meters—they were far from reaching the other shore. Lu Zhen’s calm, composed demeanor clearly signaled he was certain of trapping Zhao Gan and his companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Gan chatted quietly with a few children and learned most were orphans—his shock deepened. This place, then, was less a kindergarten than an orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Gu Yuehua sensed something off. She suddenly looked up at Shen Tao, cupped his face in both hands, eyes slightly red with emotion: “Tao Tao, you’re not…”—she cut herself off, realizing she’d nearly said “crazy,” and clamped her mouth shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chef wielded an extremely thin blade, sliding it into the gap between the clam’s shells. With practiced skill, like a butcher dissecting an ox, he moved the blade gently; moments later, the shells slowly opened, revealing the plump, succulent flesh within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Jiaqi and Fu Beiyao walked hand in hand into the orchard, seeing several people pulling weeds while others on the hillside loosened the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Sandao’s combat power far exceeded Ying Anyun’s expectations. Faced with Peng Sandao’s taunts, he could only spit out two words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Spiral Nine Shadows technique was a top-tier lightness art; when perfected, it allowed one to shift form and shadow, appearing nearly identical to teleportation—at least to those with insufficient cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was merely an adventurer; in the Goblin Kingdom, he could be crushed however they pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yaochi was famed far and wide, but no one knew what powers its lotus blossoms truly held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Bo Hongjin leapt up like a startled rabbit from her slumped position, instantly scanning her shoulders for any exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hundred million people—even if this lord possessed the power of all beings—he couldn’t possibly have achieved this in three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each level housed many alchemists; some spent centuries locked away, studying a single formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already in her forties or fifties; aging was inevitable. But since getting a membership at Fang Yuan Yuan’s salon, now when she went out, no one believed her when she said she had a grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eunuch of Xingqing Palace entered the outer chamber of Tonghui Hall with a lacquered tray, balanced with six towering stacks of memorials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, you are forbidden to have any contact with him. No matter his reason for missing the concert today—he’s been crossed out in my heart. Even if you oppose it, it won’t matter. I don’t accept him.” Jin Yonghan drew another puff of smoke, exhaling as he spoke sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two princely mansions stood far apart; before Lü Wang’s gate, carriages and horses surged like a river. Upon inquiry, Cheng Ze learned Lü Wang had not yet left his residence, and he began to ponder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Ling Fei’s guidance, the group arrived at Jinyang Restaurant, but the old man they’d met on their first visit was nowhere to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly wondered: if this mission failed and she and Li Ziyan had left to form their Golden Core, what would the Enforcement Hall do to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the trembling earth and sky, multiple factions watched the erupting volcano, its spiritual energy surging like a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clothed man’s expression changed in shock—he suddenly felt his wrist, gripped by Dahei, sinking into quicksand; the more he struggled, the greater the counterforce, filling him with terror and rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yin Shi entered this realm, he felt a thousand jin pressing down from above—he immediately realized flight was impossible here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu followed Gu Ciyin, head bowed, holding Chun Tao’s hand tightly, preventing her from looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it could still be reborn, reshape itself, proving this “outcast” was unique and powerful. Over a hundred years had passed since it was banished from its clan—its lizard kin’s progress was unknown; it must give everything it had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, state media frequently aired footage of China’s space program, centering heavily on Yu Ze; Chinese citizens—and indeed the entire world—stared in stunned silence as Yu Ze repeatedly lifted spacecraft into the sky, eventually setting a record by launching 147 satellites in a single mission.\u003C\u002Fp>",1089,"2026-06-19T19:16:08.589Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ce728148fbadb931925f61f8dc48cb61b5d084ab4b4eae152c3b164d7f41556f","cultivation-i-studied-abroad-in-the-modern-world-chapter-434","cultivation-i-studied-abroad-in-the-modern-world-chapter-432",487,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-i-studied-abroad-in-the-modern-world-cover.jpg"]
