Chapter 84: The Grand Tournament of Abilities

The lab had returned to its usual bustle, the murmured conversations of several people reaching Nightingale’s ears. Nightingale grew thoughtful—her daughter...

“In fact, there’s probably some truth to this matter. Someone once went to clean Ice’s office and saw an old photograph on her desk. But the photo was turned face down. You all know no one dares touch Ice’s things. Maybe that photo is of her daughter!”

“You want to squeeze him dry?” Xu Xianjing and San Tan stared at Hu Die in shock. They couldn’t have imagined that the gentle, lovely Hu Die would say such a thing.

Xiao Qiang shouted at everyone, then opened his mouth and spat out a pitch-black sphere, condensed from the power of death, as dark as a black hole. The three celestial souls atop the Earth Grudge issued sword energy, a rain of blades, and supersonic waves. But this time, instead of arrogantly attacking Pinkfen, every strike was focused on Sage Lex.

Besides, what could possibly be in the bloody shadow’s claw that would attract a dragon aspect freshly awakened from slumber?

At such a speed, even Akuma’s body, tempered by countless trials, could not withstand it. Blood seeped from every pore, and the massive crimson character for “Heaven” that later appeared in the space was formed from this blood.

Chen Yang could only feel both amused and helpless, unsure how to respond. He had no choice but to continue smiling wryly in silence.

Having slain the most infamous monster in Japan, Wang Chen, filled with elation, concealed the Spatial Treasure Mirror and Time Gear, then surveyed his surroundings, searching for anything left behind by the Yamata-no-Orochi. He found the ground blasted into a crater large enough to hold a mountain, the rocks within crystallized, glowing with an eerie light, filling him with silent awe.

This was why, even under the protection of the Qingzhou Cauldron, he dared not take out King Yu’s bones to fuse with his soul and reconstruct his body.

Wangcai didn’t spare Monica a glance. Though Monica was quite beautiful, in Wangcai’s eyes she was simply another species.

Yet the Pistons’ players did not give up; several of them dashed toward the basket. Even with the game all but decided, they gave everything they had.

“Huff...” Andre Iguodala heard only a rush of wind by his ear. Paul Pierce’s body darted like lightning to his left, forcing Iguodala to step back quickly and spread his arms wide in an attempt to block him.

Ma Qingfeng’s expression grew grave—the burly man before him gave off a dangerous aura.

The sun blazed like a burning fireball, casting waves of heat across the land. Temperatures soared in the Doomsday Desert; it seemed eggs buried in the sand would cook through.

“Hold on, girl. There are many ancient texts in Green Grass Manor—surely, surely we’ll find a way to save you.” His tone sounded more like self-consolation.

Turning the focus to Haotian, Guro was no longer calm and composed. His face was contorted with shock and fury, yet he could not move an inch.

By then, no one would be able to save them. But for now, the other side seemed brimming with confidence.

Their master had sent them here to train. If, on the day they left the valley, their cultivation had not improved, would they be punished?

The Sixth Military District had its own airfield—a vast, flat expanse built on the back slope of a mountain behind the base.

“One-handed seals?!” Ohnoki’s astonishment was only natural. Since ancient times, no ninja outside the Mizunotsuki clan had mastered one-handed seals.

Biyangqi let out Mukuro Rokudo’s signature laugh. When she looked up again, her right eye had turned crimson, etched with the character for “six,” just like Mukuro.

She hadn’t yet decided how to take revenge on Su Xue, but couldn’t believe Su Xue had lost patience so soon. Very well, she would help Su Xue loosen up her muscles and bones.
