A few ‘strong’ tree demon brothers gathered in a circle around the Rock Dragon Lizard’s eggshell brought by Aunt Jing Lan.Inside the eggshell lay various demon beast lumps of meat, processed long ago, along with a variety of ‘seasonings’ contributed by the tree demon brothers.Draken stood beneath the eggshell, his hands raised high. His iron palms, extremely white, seemed to have solidified flames. A layer of hot white halo condensed on his palms, adhering to the bottom of the eggshell, functioning as a makeshift stove.Now, Draken’s Iron Palm had surpassed its regular scope, qualifying as a higher-level martial technique. Nonetheless, for simplicity, Draken still referred to it as Iron Palm.Onizuka was speechless. This was the first time he'd seen someone using Iron Palm to cook hotpot!Moreover, it seemed a bit absurd for a high school student to master Iron Palm to perfection during a martial examination!However, considering Draken's feats during this martial examination, Onizu
“Here, class monitor, eat quickly. They’re all delicacies. I saved them, especially for you.”“Draken…” York hesitated.He still had a rogue appendix in his stomach. Could he eat?Onizuka seemed to sense York’s hesitation. He cleared his throat and said, “York, go ahead and eat. I’ve examined your body. There won’t be any issues. As for your appendix… You can have it removed at the hospital when we return.”“Alright then,” York conceded, his apprehension easing.As he savored the delicious meal, York couldn’t shake off the lingering sense of disbelief. He had narrowly escaped death, and now, with his injuries miraculously healed, he couldn’t help but feel grateful for the unexpected turn of events.Draken, ever the thoughtful friend, had ensured that York didn’t miss out on the feast despite his unconscious state. His act of kindness warmed York's heart, reinforcing their bond of friendship forged through trials and challenges.Despite the bizarre circumstances and the lingering myste
"Why haven't you left yet?" Aunt Jing Lan inquired, her gaze falling on Onizuka, who remained rooted to the spot, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.Onizuka, too, felt a twinge of discomfort. "Yeah, why haven't I left yet..." he mused aloud.Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Ancient Star Continent had lost its teleportation device upon arrival at the Myriad Beast Mountain Secret Realm. Unlike the examinees who entered via the martial examination's mystic realm teleportation device, those from the Ancient Star Continent had their teleportation marks imprinted on the secret plane teleportation devices they brought with them.With the loss of their equipment, only their imprints returned to Great Xia. Unable to be teleported back directly, they were left to rely on the gate for transportation."Cough, actually, I have something to discuss with the Sacred Mountain Tree," Onizuka interjected, changing the subject. "Sacred Mountain Tree, I wish to negotiate a deal with you. I hope you'll
Yun Cheng First Middle School.Flag-raising Square.Only the majority of the teaching staff, the teachers and students of Grade 12 Class 4, and some parents of the students were left.The students of Grade 12 Class 4 stood in front of the flag-raising platform with the teachers. In front of them were two coffins.That was their classmate’s coffin.Seven days ago, they entered the examination hall from here.Now, the students who were still alive were waiting for their classmates ‘bodies to return.The two students who had yet to return had their ‘Return Imprint’ that matched the ‘Teleportation Imprint’ on them. The school placed them in two coffins respectively to ensure that after the two students ‘returned, the young corpses that had been ravaged would no longer be exposed to the wilderness.In front of each coffin, a simple spiritual altar was built. On it were black and white photos of the two students and tributes.Although there weren’t many people in the flag-raising square, th
Tears streamed down Li Bindao's cheeks as she trembled with relief. "I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're back. Good children! Wuwuwuwu..."[Heartfelt Approval from an Elder] progress +1, current (3/10).[Congratulations to the host for triggering the secondary function: He had shocked everyone at his own funeral!][Achievement-Unleashing Imagination, leveled up!] - Increase Substitution's efficacy by 10%"Draken, Draken, how did you survive?""Class President, Class President, what happened in the Myriad Beast Mountain in the past few days? Did you encounter any patrolling martial artists?""That's wonderful. Not a single one of our classmates is missing. Everyone has returned!""Jiruo, why did you bring a cat back?"Following a brief moment of shock, the students eagerly surrounded Draken and York, bombarding them with questions.Draken, observing the teary-eyed students, patiently addressed their inquiries one by one.Uriel, sensing the overwhelming enthusiasm of Draken's classmat
Draken felt a twinge of regret as the realization dawned that they couldn't have a proper meal. The school's memorial service had been incomplete, and these arrangements weren't made in advance. Upon reflection, it seemed appropriate; after all, a funeral should be a private affair.After handing over the watch, Li Bindao offered to drive Draken home. York's parents had attended a memorial service at the school, but it hadn't been successful. Hence, York didn't accompany Draken.Draken settled into the front passenger seat, feeling his eyelids grow heavy. Returning to Great Xia, his tense heart finally relaxed. Regardless of the ease of the martial exam, seven days without proper sleep had taken its toll.Meanwhile, Uriel nestled in Draken's arms, peering curiously at the passing scenery through the window, pondering, "Is this the human world?""Student Jiruo, could you please inform the teacher..." Li Bin began to speak, but his sentence trailed off as he noticed Draken dozing off, h
No wonder the white cat was incensed. During her critical juncture of near-fatal injury, she had no choice but to transform and relinquish her form to her sister, who shared the same physique but harbored different intentions.Thus, she entered a deep sleep, slowly convalescing. However, each time she descended into slumber, she'd sense her sister in jeopardy, compelling her to remain vigilant. What if she failed to rouse from her slumber?Were it not for the fact that the white cat would perish if she reverted to her true form, she would have perished at her sister's hands.Nevertheless, the laborious task of refining her sister's talent was taxing for the severely injured white cat, who found herself in a precarious mental state."Sister?" Rosie wasn't entirely certain she had a sister, but she instinctively trusted that the white cat wouldn't deceive her. "I've been spending time with Master recently.""What sort of game could pose a mortal threat... Hold on!" The white cat's voice
Three-star Kui, Three-star Red-tailed Python, Four-star Moon-Swallowing Toad…“Sister, you, you, where did you eat these things?!”The white cat was shocked.Uriel did not hide anything and said, "Master made it for me. I originally wanted to keep it to slowly digest and advance, but you couldn’t sleep well because of me. You even secretly helped me change my talent to solve the problem. I feel sorry for you. If you want it, you can take it.”“Anyway, before we left, Aunt Jinglan and Grandpa Shenmu gave us a lot of good things. They are all stored in the Wan Xiang Mirror. Master said that he would use these things to make delicacies in the future…”Rosie gradually became familiar with the rules of this world. She projected some of her memories into the white world to let the white cat see her life after having a master.The white cat could not help but swallow his saliva as he felt the fragrance and wonderful taste transmitted from those memories.What kind of cat demon could resist s
