Volume 1, Chapter 34: Is It Really That Direct?

Although Chen Cheng’s work as a stunt double had concluded, his natural aptitude for action and his screen presence earned him high praise from both Director Li and the action director, Director Xie.

After speaking, she did not look at him again, leading Yun Zhao and the midwife toward the quiet wing room, leaving Pei Ruyan standing alone where he was.

Previously, in Chapter 77, a table was provided mentioning that the Hidden Leaf Village could carry out 50,000 missions a year.

Taking the camera, Chen Cheng followed the usage instructions he had studied in the equipment guide and successfully adjusted the parameters with ease.

Within the same Great Dao Domain, the power of heaven and earth he could command was hundreds of times greater than when he was an Earth Immortal of the Returning Void stage.

The Empress chuckled; Lin’er was quite precocious, and it had been many years since she had seen such a childish side to him.

"Who I am is of no concern to you. I have come to the Mechanical City only to retrieve a few items; it would be best if you did not stand in my way," Yan Lu said calmly.

After the Marquis’s estate received the imperial decree, Jiang Yunshu went to congratulate her eldest sister on her happy occasion, clearly seeing the sparkle in her eyes.

"That will be all, back to work," Steward Wang dismissed the crowd, then hurried toward the entrance with surprising speed for a man of his age.

"It seems the students have their own opinions on this matter—some oppose it, others agree. So, shall we put it to the test? Truth must always be verified through practice," Amon said with a light smile.

Radiation is lethal primarily because of its mutagenic effects on human cells. The rapid proliferation of mutated cells—cancerous cells—deprives normal cells of nutrients while failing to perform the necessary functions of bodily organs; this is the fundamental reason why humans fear radiation.

When Zhao Junyu and his group arrived, a Golden Core cultivator guarding the perimeter of Yanshan was the first to spot them.

With a light kick of her jade-like foot, the severed tree flew toward the swamp like a puppet on broken strings. With a loud "thud," mud splashed everywhere. Qing Hong flicked her cloud-like sleeve, blocking the spray, though her long dress was ruined.

He only knew that this perfume was extremely hard to buy, and owning it was a way to display his capabilities; it was merely a tool for him to show off, and he had no idea how to actually use it.

The training curriculum was filled with violence, suppression, and killing techniques, but knowing how to kill and actually taking a life are two completely different things. Whether legal or illegal, to the victim, the result is the same: death. But for the killer, it is a psychological barrier that must be overcome.

Around his body, mysterious energies coalesced into a colossal phantom of a demon ox, which surged out as if being poured into him.

"Yin-Yang Dao Crown, a low-grade spiritual treasure; it allows the wearer to maintain a clear and tranquil mind," Fourth Senior Brother Tie Tong read aloud.

Almost brushing against the sweeping gale, he formed his hands into claws and lunged back at the Poison Emperor’s shoulder.

In that brief moment, several images flashed through his mind, one of which featured someone shouting the name "Qin Yuhua."

"Senior Brother," Tang Tang looked at Yue Zanhua, truly wishing she could pledge herself to him if only he would take her away, though she reconsidered, thinking that such a commitment shouldn't be made so lightly.

But in truth, she was mistaken; it is precisely because one cares that they become angry at the other's actions. The angrier one becomes, the more significant that person is in their heart.

Unfortunately, the barrier set up by two wizard apprentices was essentially a wall of air to a third-level wizard.

Especially now, with the imposition of the military training tax, the hearts of the people were truly lost! The imperial court was not only collecting taxes from the current generation of commoners but also from their sons and grandsons. The burden of taxation was so heavy, with no regard for the people's livelihood! How could the people not rebel under such conditions?

Seeing Chen Shao appear, the fans went wild, especially the boys, who were left in a daze by Nana’s beauty, as if witnessing such a face made death a worthy price.

As it turned out, Shen Shixing had never expected Zhong Nan to be of much help regarding the succession, but having seen him favored by Zhu Yijun, he had mentioned it in passing.

However, this had no impact on his life; he rarely used this false identity, and a debut was out of the question.

Generally speaking, once you destroy a zombie’s brain, it stops causing trouble.

Shuoto served in Dorgon’s army and was deeply impressed by him. Now, seeing that Dorgon had his best interests at heart and was even sending him to assist his brother, he was overjoyed. Naturally, he would lead his own troops, along with the reinforcements provided by Dorgon, to join Yoto.

This was likely the most righteous thing he had ever said in his life, though one must wonder if it came from the heart.

Christina’s eyes held a hint of mischief; she knew it was cruel to say so, but she did not like Earl Leavis disparaging Meng, and this was her retaliation.

Xiao Ruchun did the math; news of a change in emperors would certainly be disseminated immediately. Liu Huangchang had sent him out on the very day of the coup, and now, a day later, the news had finally reached Tongzhou.

Teng Yuanzi steered the tricycle onto the road toward the city and stopped in front of a hotel that looked decent enough.

Just as many angels were falling into despair, a palm, white as jade, appeared in the sky. The palm created ripples as it waved against the energy tide, which was filled with endless destructive intent.

The three of them were not the type to dawdle; without hesitation, they immediately began to operate at peak efficiency.
