Extra Chapter 4: First Glimpse of Talent, Surpassing Peers

Wei Tianchong was startled inwardly. "What happened?"

Tang Jie’s voice was cold and terse: "Arson, burning the city."

A chill ran through Wei Tianchong’s entire body, as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.

Wei Tianchong was stunned again. "How could this be?"

Tang Jie repeated coldly, "Arson, burning the city."

Wei Tianchong felt as if plunged into an ice cave, his whole body shivering.

“Old Gu, although I am utterly ignorant of your metaphysical matters, this fellow actually killed someone right before my eyes. This is a clear provocation against me. I, Ling Fan, will never let this despicable murderer go!” Ling Fan clenched his fists and glared fiercely at Gu Rufeng, his voice resolute.

This imperial palace was no small matter; Ziyang had invested considerable effort, spending a total of a million days to forge a super-artifact-grade spatial talisman. Moreover, the palace was riddled with prohibitive formations—defensive and offensive in equal measure.

“Everyone, the purpose of life is to enjoy it. The more capital you have, the better life you can afford. Am I wrong?” Just as Li Ming finished speaking, six awakened warriors from the Peerless Troops suddenly appeared behind him.

Gu Fengchun frowned deeply. He truly could not comprehend why Chen Si and Qin Chuan saw potential in him. Shaking his head, he remained utterly confused. Where had Qin Chuan tested his potential? A sudden flash came to his mind—was it during that fight with Bai Yin? What kind of potential was that?

The three flying swords suddenly halted right before Wang Xinran’s chest. Ye Feng was taken aback, then gritted his teeth, spitting out a streak of vital blood onto the swords, attempting to activate them with his essence.

At this moment, the Blood Demon Lord was about to storm in with Ling Yitian to slay Lin Feng. Protected by an illusionary formation, killing Lin Feng would have been effortless. Yet before they could enter, the Blood Demon Lord sensed that Lin Feng had escaped.

Chang Xi suddenly understood. A trace of happiness slowly spread across her face, until a smile curved her lips. Quietly, she murmured to herself, "So he was afraid there was something strange in the box."

Ying Zheng saw the fiery bull charging into the North Qin army’s camp, exceeding his expectations. The frontline archers of North Qin were almost entirely shattered.

“What do we do?” Tang Maiqiu whispered. “We can’t hold out much longer.” He exhaled deeply. The oxygen in his gas mask was nearly depleted. Switching to filtered air felt unfamiliar to him.

Jiao Yuan was utterly baffled. Why was everyone saying he had a car accident, and why were they so serious?

Chen Jing greeted [Hope] very ‘cordially,’ though the greeting was a bit over the top in its friendliness.

Soldiers hurriedly tossed over two grappling ropes. One, two, each grabbed a rope, exerted strength—one spinning, the other flipping—then swiftly ascended toward the fortress.

However, today was far from leisurely. By the time Liang Hua was nearly ready, class was about to start. Being late on the first day would not do. Now that he was the leader, Liang Hua understood more than anyone the importance of punctuality and keeping one’s word. He dashed out of the room, calling out along the way, “Niu Bian, drive me to school.”

“Alright, Brother Liang,” came the reply.

Fan Xun clasped his fists respectfully, not wishing to trouble the abbess. “We will now escort Bi Shuyin away, but there remains one matter unclear. I wish to clarify it with you first.”

Under Xiao Lin’s astonished gaze, Colson stood up, bowed to him, then knelt on one knee.

Once all matters were settled, they recounted the entire sequence of events to Professor Detal and Colonel Saimeris. Saimeris still remained silent on the accursed incubation pool, but Professor Detal revealed a few details.

“That’s certainly no problem,” the elder breathed a sigh of relief. Killing a few reckless people was nothing difficult for him.
