Volume 1, Chapter 45: Battling the Heavens, Capturing the Eyes of the World

The great battle in the starry sky caused immense turmoil, especially with the shifting of countless stars from their original paths. Billions of star gods appeared, their vast powers stirring the cosmos and warping the void, already alerting powerful beings from all directions of the heavens and earth.

Xu Ling made no mention of Wang Fu. She knew Wang Qian might have learned everything, but she had no desire to bring it up—such topics only brought sorrow. She had long resigned herself to fate.

“We’re traveling together!” Chen Er smiled as he saw Jiang Cang put down his chopsticks, then squeezed the beads in his hand sharply. With a faint, crisp snap, accompanied by a startled cry, the beads turned into a wisp of blue smoke and dissipated.

“Why don’t you… show us what you’ve got?” Qin Yu, too, was tired of wasting words trying to persuade. He thought letting Kuang Tianyou witness Fang Jue’s might would make him give up hope, simplifying matters.

Xiu was placed in a solitary tent within the military camp, with no one speaking to him. Although he had disregarded his own nausea to treat two soldiers, few had witnessed this, and even those who knew were soldiers following orders—they wouldn’t approach him on their own.

Shao Yu raised two fingers and instantly countered the teal sword light sent by Mo Wuwei with a faint blue sword light of his own.

The first to notice the situation were the aerial sentinels from the high-altitude investigation team. Led by the flag-shaped special armor piloted by Graham Aika, with Howard Mason and Dalierda piloting the combined flying-flag form behind.

Due to spatial constraints, the solar reactors of the Thunder Angel were arranged front and back on its chest and back. The newly installed particle emission device naturally occupied the gap between them, maintaining their combined configuration.

Diliyana was taken aback. Why would such a matter be told to Teacher Wang? Yet when she met Chu Xiu’s gaze, she obediently nodded.

Deng Lai stood up with the help of a bodyguard, his face full of disbelief and shock, seemingly unable to grasp the current situation, and turned to Zhang Haibo with a pitiful look.

The metallic humanoid construct, with a distinctive V-shaped antenna symbolizing status atop its head, its dual-eye main cameras, resembled previously seen machines, yet seemed to belong to a completely different category.

“Won’t talk? Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?” Her blade traced along Jiang Wan’s cheek, her voice laced with menace.

Muttering quietly, Uchiha Si silently noted this habit of his, ensuring he wouldn’t be caught off guard by it in the future.

Xu Chujian saw the shock and awkwardness on their faces, their heads bowed and eyes lowered in pitiful manner. Thinking back to how arrogantly they had spoken ill of her behind her back, she found the contrast somewhat comical.

This was a breakthrough Ye Feng achieved after training the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect’s mind control technique to the level of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart.

Looking at those figures, people felt a deep respect. The sects behind these individuals were the true rulers of the Eastern Profound Domain.

Being admitted early indicated a ranking around the top fifty in the Hundred-Wheel Examination. Those ranked lower might still feel tempted by such an offer.

Ye Feng took a dagger from his storage soul guide device and crouched, just about to end Xue Ying’s life when a hoarse reprimand came from ahead.

“Are you not afraid that she might also be targeted?” Qin Xiangzuo watched as the red light ahead slowly halted.

Saint Capital’s First Military University admitted 5,000 students at this level. Those admitted early and those who entered through the national exam were all assigned to the War Academy, numbering around 2,000. The rest comprised various auxiliary deities and combat deities.
