34 Isn't this just beginner level? (2nd update)

Yun Ran spread her hands innocently. "I just walked in, that’s all."

"Impossible. There are so many people outside; how could no one stop you? Besides, I set up a formation..."

The old Taoist suddenly realized something and fell silent, then surveyed Yun Ran from head to toe with a look of utter astonishment.

He spoke with some uncertainty, "You wouldn't happen to be the reinforcements the bureau mentioned, would you?"

Yun Ran nodded with a beaming smile. "Yup, if everything goes according to plan."

Chang Jinsheng looked back to see Hu Ya leading over twenty team members, veering toward the mountain and charging in their direction.

Lu Mingshan finally stopped. He collapsed to the ground, weak and limp, as the black brick in his hand tumbled to the floor with a thud. The scepter also fell silently, its faint blue glow gradually fading away.

"Nonsense, take that kind of warning to the theater commander!" Li Erhu shook off Liu Li’s hand, showing no appreciation for her advice.

Yet, if they were left here, in such freezing weather, even if they didn't die immediately, they would eventually freeze to death.

Yu Yanglin looked up at the sky and discovered that, apart from the glass-like starry expanse, there was no sign of a moon or sun in the third layer.

After packing up their belongings, Dong Lianzhu dragged the drooling Zhao Zilong, and the two of them briskly descended the wooden bridge.

"What?" Even with many memories from his previous life, Qin Xiao was startled by what the Emperor of Hope had said. The Divine Realm was vast and boundless, with practically no frontiers. In his past life, even at the peak of his power as a Divine General, he had never once reached the edge of the Divine Realm. One could only imagine the sheer, limitless scale of the realm's expanse.

The city was filled with a large number of refugees, all fleeing from the territories ahead that had been occupied by the Yan people. They were all sallow and gaunt, looking like withered husks. Of course, there were also well-dressed people walking the streets, and the teahouses and restaurants were bustling with patrons.

A cold sneer curled the lips of Elder Tian-Shu. Running straight ahead would lead them to the Abyss of Weak Water; the only way across was the suspension bridge above the Imperial City. That bridge was still a great distance from Han Bing, and if Han Bing tried to run diagonally, it would be easy to catch up. Once his path of retreat was cut off, Han Bing would have no hope of escape.

With a dragon’s roar, golden holy light enveloped her figure. The Shadow Assassin sword technique struck into the golden light again and again, only to be shattered each time. As the sword energy dissolved, Han Bing’s figure appeared in a different spot. Far from stopping, he launched an even more powerful assault.

"Ouch, honey, what are you thinking? How could I? Oh, it’s not me! I meant for you to surrender yourself to your dear Brother Liangyan!" Peter said with a straight face, while inwardly thinking, *Liu Lingshan, you’re sharp—that is exactly what I meant. Just because I say I’m gay, does it mean I really am?*

"What’s going on?" Old Lu couldn’t help but exclaim! By now, the two Lus had deactivated their fusion metamorphosis, as the process consumed elemental energy, and the fusion state even more so. Thus, they usually deactivated it when not in combat. He couldn’t help but stretch his arms wide.

"Don't be afraid, Lin Peng. I’m right here beside you; I’ll look out for you." Xiao Menglou closed his eyes, let out a soft sigh, and spoke in a deep voice.

"If that’s the case, today is the day you die!" the burly man said coldly. With that, everyone drew their weapons in unison and charged toward Shi Yan and his companion.

The recruit induction ceremony was declared over at that moment. Before Xiao Menglou could even walk back to his unit, he was completely surrounded by reporters from every direction.

Considering a certain possibility, Wang Tao dodged a sweep from the tiger and called out in Shi Yan’s direction, "Since you’re already here, why not come down and help?" As he spoke, he flashed aside to avoid a pounce from the beast.

On the other side, the heavy-armored Minotaur, wielding a pair of solid ice axes, found himself unable to bypass the obstruction of the Baxia’s head. His eyes turned blood-red as he triggered his berserk ability.
