Chapter 45: A Bug-Tier Amplification

"A ten percent increase per layer?"

Jiang Beibei possessed extraordinary spiritual power and was exceptionally sensitive to the condition of her own body.

She made a quick mental calculation: the strength boost Bai Ningxue had just granted her easily reached that terrifying figure of fifty percent!

"Yes, though it would be even better if it could land on a six!"

Possessing such a powerful supportive soul skill, Bai Ningxue still felt somewhat dissatisfied, pursing her lips with a hint of spoiled pride.

"Ningxue, cast it on Shuangshuang..."

He was in no particular rush, however. There were still over a hundred Xuanling Pills remaining within his storage tiger-tooth pouch. At his current refining rate of one pill per day, he would finish refining them in roughly three months. By that time, he should be able to advance to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

At that time, He Zaixu could certainly be considered a youth of great fortune and pride. Although he had been driven out to the provinces due to factional marginalization in the capital, he was still, nonetheless, a proper official of the seventh rank.

This was the Heaven-Sustaining Slash, one of the three great sword techniques of the Yin family, which Yin Junfeng had comprehended a month before entering the Origin Dan realm.

Xiao Yan possessed the Undying Body, repeatedly experiencing death and resurrection. Through this process, he accumulated a vast amount of life and death Qi, which, when unleashed, became his most formidable weapon.

He countered the raging kinetic energy with sword Qi, using poison to combat poison and brute force against brute force, slicing apart the all-encompassing energy until the surrounding area suddenly cleared up considerably.

Yin Junfeng already felt a deep sense of strangeness regarding the shadow within the ice wall. Lost in thought, he reserved a sliver of vigilance, keeping his gaze fixed on the ice wall.

The Nebula Alliance was already a top-tier influential faction, outshining many nations, and its rise to a transcendent power was just a matter of time.

Such estimations were inherently inaccurate, as many treasures simply could not be measured by monetary value.

This type of inheritance was commonly practiced by the Western Holy See. In Western lore, the souls of the dead would ascend into the heavens.

Ma Wu was quite clever and adept at drawing inferences. If a long saber were used in battle, a strike might miss its target, but upon retracting the blade, one could still leave a gash across the opponent's body.

Lu Chen was the offspring of the Lu family's second household. His biological mother had died young, and his father did not live within the Lu family estate, but rather in a remote mountain village in the north.

Fairy Songhan, who had previously been injured by Fang Wang's punch with disheveled hair, bit her lip and drew a red silk ribbon out from her left sleeve with her right hand.

If this matter were to end right here, then so be it. If not, once word got out, regardless of whether the person in that inner room was Lu 修 or someone else, her reckless behavior inside the Hall of Benevolence constituted a grave crime.

Seeming to sense something, Jiang Zhihang, who had been exchanging polite pleasantries with others, suddenly turned his head to look in this direction.

"The Immortal Court has existed for an untold number of epochs, and you are far from the only one who holds a grudge against them. As for my identity, I cannot reveal it just yet, as it would invite a greater karmic burden—one that would be detrimental to both you and me," Zhou Xue said calmly.

The two of them continued eating and drinking leisurely until nightfall, enjoying a slow-paced, unhurried, and deeply relaxing atmosphere.

"Honored guests, the mistress is going to rest now. When she has time to look at your paintings, I will call for you to come over," he said.

Aside from those destroyed by the giant crocodiles, the ships remained intact. The grain soaked in seawater was inedible, but the Krupp field guns were still operational. Out of the twenty thousand soldiers who had set sail, two thousand had sacrificed their lives along the way.

She administered acupuncture to the Black Hawk. She would not give up on him; as long as he clung to a single breath of life, she would not let him die. Yet, her bitter enmity with Zhao Wanwan was something she would undoubtedly pursue to the end.

The Sam Nation was in a state of tense military readiness, and panic likely gripped everyone's hearts. After a brief moment of thought, Ding Xiaoyi made his decision. He first recalled Yang Dali, Lin Hu, and Liu Zhongming of the Seven Wolves, leaving behind Tieshan, Chen Cai, and Zheng Bao to continue holding down the fort for elite commercial development in the Sam Nation.
