A monstrous sword aura swept in from all directions, its constantly swirling vortex ruthlessly drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before violently penetrating the Seven Absolute Sword.The blinding light, carrying a hint of heat, forced Lin Ley and Lin Fen to retreat continuously. Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and by the time the two reacted, the Seven Absolute Sword had already returned to calm.Lin Fen was about to move, but Lin Ley stopped him, gently shook his head, and didn't say much. He just tightened his grip on Lin Fen's hands. Seeing Lin Ley's reaction, Lin Fen gave up his idea of going to find out what was going on.Above the shimmering, misty spring water, a sword shimmering with seven-colored light hovered continuously, surrounded by white mist, giving the entire sword a somewhat sacred aura. Lin Fen's heart tightened involuntarily; the sword intent emanating from the blade made even Lin Fen, the sword's master, feel a sense of awe.As the s

Lin Fen, pale-faced, sat cross-legged to the side, recovering his depleted mental energy. At this moment, Lin Ley gradually came back to his senses, a bitter smile appearing on his lips. He then sat there dejectedly, letting the dripping blood-red droplets soak his body. An endless sense of emptiness and loss welled up in his heart. Scenes from the previous battle still echoed in his mind. He seemed lost in thought, quietly gazing into the boundless darkness.Sitting cross-legged to one side, Lin Fen didn't notice the complex emotions and struggle in Lin Ley's gaze—an expression completely unheard of on the usually cold Lin Ley. Lin Ley took a deep breath, and the stern teachings of his father flashed before his eyes once more."Lin Ley, you must always believe that you are the strongest. No matter who you meet, you will not be defeated. You are a genius that our assassin family has only seen once in a thousand years. If you ever fail, then you need to acknowledge that person as your l

When Lin Fen opened his eyes, they were filled with a stark white. He was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief and his heart filled with horror. A chill inexplicably rose from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.Lin Ley's white eyes slowly fixed on the trembling tentacles, a cold smile appearing on his lips. He sneered, "Now you know fear? But it's too late!" Without waiting for a moment to prepare, he transformed into a blur, appearing beside the tentacles in the blink of an eye. His sharp claws ripped apart the tentacles that were still there, completely powerless to resist. The tentacles were like paper, unable to withstand a single blow from Lin Ley.Lin Ley ripped at the ground with his sharp claws, warm blood flying everywhere, scattering fragments all around. Some wriggling, still-living fragments could be vaguely seen, a truly horrifying sight. Lin Ley walked slowly, one foot seemingly pressing on his heart, his claws never ceasing, his pale eyes fille

The darkness engulfed the two, their mental powers no longer allowing them to see their surroundings. A chilling, sinister aura, carrying a stench of blood, assaulted their senses. Lin Fen suppressed the nausea rising in his stomach, his gaze fixed intently on his surroundings. Darkness—utter darkness. Lin Fen stretched out his hands, unable to see them at all. The chilling aura emanating from deep within sent shivers down his spine."Lin Ley, what's going on? Lin Ley, are you there?" There was no response from all around. Lin Fen was startled and abruptly shook off whatever was holding his hand. His face turned pale. Only now did he realize that his hands felt strangely sticky. Lin Fen's expression changed drastically.With a swift movement, he leaped to the side, and suddenly, as if sensing something, he staggered and almost fell over.This place was strangely unusual. Outside, it was clearly seawater, but here it was unusually dry. Lin Fen suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep brea

An invisible ripple spread across the water. The sea breeze carried its sharp, salty breath. Lin Ley's gaze was like ice; Lin Fen's remained calm, unshaken — as if these twenty attackers were no more significant than the waves around them. Their indifference enraged the group. They gritted their teeth, closing in. Lin Ley ignored everyone except the strongest cultivator — the one at the Third Stage of Meridian Opening. "You're the only one worth my time," Lin Ley said, a faint, cold smile touching his lips. The man roared and lunged forward. Energy erupted from his meridians, three swirling vortexes blazing around him. Lin Ley didn't flinch — he slammed both fists into the seawater, sending a wall of spray crashing directly toward his opponent. Meanwhile, the two Second Stage cultivators moved in on Lin Fen. They pressed in, their combined aura heavy and suffocating. But Lin Fen stood firm — he would not lose to anyone at the same realm. He raised the Seven Absolutes. Mental energ

It took a moment for everyone to snap out of their daze. They looked around — the young man who had led them was gone. Nothing stretched in every direction but endless white-capped waves. Disorientation set in fast. Faces paled as they struggled just to stay afloat, their mental energy nearly spent. Lin Ley stared into the distance, his gaze distant. "The Song of the Azure Sea… I only read about it in legends. Something is awakening in these waters. Perhaps a new Water God is about to be born." The others exchanged uneasy glances. Lin Fen didn't mind being lost — as long as he grew stronger from it, he would find his way. But the others saw it differently. Their eyes hardened as they looked at Lin Ley. They had noticed — he hadn't been entranced at all. And now, fear turned to blame. Slowly, they formed a loose circle around the two boys, twenty people in all. A cold, cruel smirk appeared on their faces. "You little brats!" one of them snarled. "Especially you — you weren't affecte

The middle-aged man seemed to sense that something was wrong. His steps slowed, and he raised his broad saber as he cautiously approached the bushes.Ten meters.Eight meters.Five meters.He was getting closer.The rain continued to fall, but Lin Feng remained as still as a stone statue.Behind the middle-aged man, more pursuers gradually caught up. Their footsteps splashed through the puddles as they emerged from the darkness.Hearing his companions approach, the middle-aged man relaxed.With so many people behind him, what did he have to fear from a young disciple who was already exhausted?He quickened his pace.Beneath his feet, the muddy ground trembled faintly.Ripples spread across the puddles, disturbing their otherwise smooth surfaces.The middle-aged man noticed nothing. His attention remained fixed on the path ahead, and he continued charging forward, eager to be the first to catch up with Lin Feng and claim the young disciple's head.Splash!Without warning, a dark shape

After weighing his options for a moment, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and pressed his fingertip firmly against Zhang Zhiyang's brow.There was no more time to hesitate.The Demon God Sect's pursuers were closing in, their attacks growing fiercer by the moment. Zhang Zhiyang's aura, meanwhile, was fading rapidly. If Lin Feng did not act now, his senior brother would soon lose the last trace of vitality.Wisps of black qi seeped from Lin Feng's fingertip and spread rapidly across Zhang Zhiyang's body.Wherever the black qi passed, Zhang Zhiyang's muscles stiffened and his skin turned a deathly blue, as though an invisible frost had frozen him from within. In the blink of an eye, his entire body became rigid. His breathing stopped, his heartbeat vanished, and even the last trace of warmth faded from his skin.He looked no different from a corpse.Yet Lin Feng felt something faint beneath his fingertip.A subtle fluctuation.It was so weak that the slightest distraction might have caused hi

The younger disciple remained near the edge of the forest, kneeling beside Zhang Zhiyang and attempting to treat his injuries.Yue Qingshan's expression changed.He immediately rushed back."Lin Feng! What are you doing?"His voice cut through the storm."The situation is critical! We must leave immediately!"Lin Feng did not even turn his head."You go first!"He continued concentrating on Zhang Zhiyang's condition.Yue Qingshan looked at the black blood spreading around the crossbow wound, and his expression turned grim."It's useless!"His voice was heavy."That is the Demon God Sect's infamous Heart-Piercing Arrow! It was specifically designed to penetrate the defensive techniques of immortal sect disciples. The arrowheads are coated with a deadly poison!"Zhang Zhiyang struggled to open his eyes.His face had already turned deathly pale."Junior Brother Lin Feng..."His voice was barely audible."Don't waste your time on me. Leave... quickly..."He tried to push Lin Feng away.Ye

The thirteen disciples gritted their teeth as they climbed Yinma Slope, an endless mountain incline stretching toward the distant heavens. From afar, they resembled a dozen tiny black specks crawling across the vast landscape, struggling against the boundless wilderness.At first, spurred on by Shangguan Tu's encouragement, everyone summoned their remaining strength for one final burst of speed. However, as the slope grew steeper, their pace gradually slowed, and the distance between them began to widen.Then, just as they reached the halfway point, the heavens opened once more.Rain poured down in torrents.Within moments, the mountain path became a treacherous expanse of mud. Every step sent splashes of muddy water across their robes, while in certain places, their feet sank deep into the softened earth.The summit still lay far ahead, and the incline grew increasingly difficult to traverse.Shangguan Tu continued leading the way without hesitation, his figure moving steadily through

Lin Feng fell silent and focused on his journey, but his heart was filled with anxiety and unease.The reason he had been able to force Yue Wuxin, the leader of the Demon God Sect’s Slaughter Hall, to leave during the Immortal Sect’s assessment wasn’t because of his own superior strength, but because he cleverly utilized the protective barriers and the statue of the Guardian in the Innate Trial Grounds. Now, although his cultivation had greatly improved, in this desolate wilderness, without the protective barriers to exploit and without the advantage of timing and location, he was absolutely no match for Yue Wuxin! Adding Yue Qingshan and Shangguan Tu to the mix, his chances of survival were slim!Since ancient times, the four reclusive immortal sects had been formidable, but the Demon God Sect was no less impressive, producing countless masters. Once you were targeted by a top-tier master of the Demon God Sect, you were in grave danger!Lin Feng took a deep breath, forcing himself to

The drizzle lasted all night, and it was still dripping incessantly the next morning.Early in the morning, while the entire mountain was still shrouded in mist, Lin Feng and his group set off in the rain. After a night’s rest, the group was full of energy and moved even faster, traversing the rugged and muddy mountain path with great speed. Before long, they had left the cave where they had spent the night far behind and disappeared into the vast rainforest shrouded in morning mist.After a long while, a full half-hour had passed, and the group had long since gone far away. A strange man dressed in a snakeskin battle robe flew over and accurately located the cave where Lin Feng and his group had spent the night in the mountains. It was none other than the great demon She Tunhai, who had come on the orders of the Thousand-Handed Demon God. Looking around, his forked tongue flickered in and out, and he quickly noticed a small patch of soil at the end of the cave that was a slightly dif

Although the other researchers had all left, Ryan’s work had to continue.After spending a gloomy morning alone, he quickly shook off his low spirits and returned to his usual research routine.He had enough Technology Points to unlock another research slot. But with no other researchers at the institute, any new slot would sit idle unless he worked on it himself.Rather than waste his resources, Ryan decided to save his Technology Points for now. He would choose new projects once everyone returned.With that settled, he began loading the research tank with the materials for his next project.Nanotechnology.As its name suggested, this technology would unlock several new research paths. But that wasn’t the main reason Ryan had chosen it.What he really wanted was to upgrade the exoskeleton.Unfortunately, the next generation of exoskeleton technology seemed to have advanced several levels at once. Its prerequisites had changed dramatically, and nanotechnology was now required to unloc

The grand farewell saga was far from over.Ever since Ryan had somehow managed to earn everyone's displeasure through his recent actions, people he knew had begun approaching him one after another to announce their departures.Of course, there were those who had to return to their universities after the summer vacation. Their departures were inevitable.But they weren't the only ones leaving.The very next day, Mary arrived with a cheerful smile and announced that she had been invited to visit the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for further study. She would be leaving the following week.Ryan could only congratulate her.He wholeheartedly supported Mary's pursuit of her dream, and he knew this opportunity meant a great deal to her.The day after that, Brady, who had remained unusually quiet for some time, suddenly appeared in Ryan's laboratory with a letter in his hand.Ryan opened it and discovered that Brady had been invited to participate in an academic debate at the A

Ryan's conversation with Mr. Wallace ended shortly afterward, leaving him alone in his laboratory once again.He sat on a stool, lost in thought, struggling to decide what to work on next.After a long while, he remembered that he still had an available research slot. He summoned the system and browsed through the list of unlocked technologies, examining them one by one.Eventually, his gaze settled on the next item in the computer technology category.Personal Terminal."What's this?"Ryan asked the system.[The Personal Terminal is a portable version of the previously developed Central Control Terminal. It offers the same core functions, with the additional capability of remote control.]This time, neither the system nor Emma answered simultaneously. Only the system responded to Ryan's question.Apparently, after synchronizing with Emma, the system had become capable of distinguishing

"What's making that sound? Is it an AI?"Jonas was the first to identify the source of the voice. He turned sharply toward the computer screen, his eyes widening with curiosity."That's right! It's the AI I invented!"Lindsey pointed proudly at the screen, and everyone followed her gesture.A separate window displayed a voice waveform that fluctuated whenever the AI spoke."This is amazing! Finally, someone from outside the research institute can recognize just how advanced our technology is!"Jonas had always been concerned about how outsiders perceived the institute. No wonder he was so excited to hear an AI speaking for the first time."You're underestimating it. An AI is much more than just a fancy voice!"Lindsey stood with her hands on her hips, proudly showing off her creation."When you're conducting research, you can ask the AI for assistance whenever you need it. It can even control the institute's central cont

The conflict within Lindsey’s family had finally been resolved. As it turned out, most of their disagreements had stemmed from a simple lack of communication.Although Ryan felt he hadn't done much, Lindsey’s parents were still deeply grateful to him.They held his hand for so long that he began to feel a little embarrassed.“Dr. Ryan, thank you so much for giving Lindsey the opportunity to pursue what she loves.”Lindsey’s mother clasped Ryan’s hand and shook it repeatedly.“No, no, Auntie. This is all thanks to Lindsey’s own abilities. If she hadn’t been interested in programming, I wouldn’t have been able to find a suitable way for her to demonstrate her talents.”Ryan meant every word. Lindsey’s thirst for knowledge and her abilities as a five-star researcher had genuinely exceeded his expectations.“Dr. Ryan, you're too modest.”Lindsey’s mother smiled warmly at him.“Dr. Ryan, please remember to remind Lindsey to do her summer homework.”Lindsey’s father had finally relaxed, his

Ryan had expected his request to make the atmosphere at Lindsey's home somewhat awkward, but he hadn't anticipated just how effectively it would kill the conversation.Lindsey's father maintained a stiff, polite smile, waiting for Ryan to explain himself further.Ryan glanced at Lindsey's mother. She seemed relatively calm, at least compared with her husband.Taking a deep breath, Ryan continued."Is the computer still there? As long as the hard drive is intact, we should be fine."He spoke cautiously, trying not to make the situation any more uncomfortable than it already was."Yes. I'll go and get it for you."Lindsey's father stood and walked toward her room. With his back turned, Ryan couldn't see his expression.Ryan suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to escape the house before the situation became any more complicated.While Lindsey's father was away, her mother seized the opportunity to ask a question."Dr. Ryan, how has Lindsey been doing at your research institute?""She's do
