Volume 3 - Chapter 135: Ninth Stage of Sword Dao, Li Hao's Fury! - Part 2

Remaining skill points: 7.

Both movement techniques and fist techniques are stuck due to the lack of an Entering Spirit Realm.

These two are relatively important. Currently, Li Hao primarily relies on the Void Extreme Realm to compensate. However, if his movement techniques themselves reach the ninth stage, combining them with the Void Extreme Realm would produce unimaginable results. He belie...

Volume 3 - Chapter 135: Sword Dao Ninth Stage, Li Hao’s Fury!

As his mastery of the Painting Dao reached the ninth stage, a flood of insights surged into Li Hao’s mind. The sheer weight of these revelations overshadowed the joy he felt, plunging him into a state of profound understanding.

Moments earlier, as he lost himself in the act of painting, he had captured the essence of a Saint with his painter's heart. By depicting the inexpressible divine aura of the Saint, ...

Chapter 284: Following the Strong

Joseph displayed a contented smile. With this, they had effectively secured Napoleon's presence. As for his loyalty... Napoleon was merely twenty years old now, leaving plenty of time and opportunity to cultivate genuine bonds.

He entered the Chief of General Staff's office with Berthier and the others, took his seat at the head of the table, and gestured to everyone. "Please, take your seats."

"I have already reviewed the reports s...

Chapter 283: Expanding Paris

Joseph’s carriage was still three or four kilometers from the Palace of Versailles when he noticed that the surrounding area was already packed with people.

Eymond glanced out the window and explained, “Your Highness, the official competition is still two days away. These people must have come from other regions to watch the games.”

Normally, entering the Palace of Versailles required strict adherence to a dress code, but during th...

Chapter 276: The Battlefield of Politicians

In the meeting room on the third floor of the Admiralty building in London, the Secretary of War, the First Lord of the Admiralty, and a number of younger naval officers, including General Winter, were engaged in an intense discussion over the Battle of the Dardanelles.

"We should halt this operation plan!" General Winter expressed his opinion during the meeting. "This plan may have had a chance of success at th...

Chapter 526: Daddy, a Monster Wants to Attack Emilia!

Emilia’s petite figure stood at the prow of the ship, her presence causing both sides of the Saint rank battle raging in the skies above to hesitate. Just who, or what, was this little girl?

The Saints on Charlot Mecklenburg’s side knew that she was the child of Eumibella and Charlot, but the sheer absurdity of her existence—something bordering on eldritch—made it hard to accept fully.

Meanwhile, the Saints of the New Continent Council, still reeling from the “death” o...

Chapter 525: Aruhet Samsusu

Emilia Mecklenburg finally abandoned her utensils, tossing the knife, fork, and plate into the ocean. With one hand, she pressed Monteblanc onto the deck.

The Emilia Mecklenburg made quick work of one of the three titans of the New Continent Council, swallowing him whole in one "bite."

Monteblanc had no chance to resist throughout the entire ordeal.

Gareth Mecklenburg barely had time to savor anything before the "light meal" was concluded.

Avish's face turned grim as h...

Volume 3 - Chapter 134: Defeat and the Ninth Stage of Painting Dao - Part 3

Li Hao heard Lin Qingying's words and couldn't help rubbing his forehead. Was she really such a straightforward steel-hearted woman? Is this how she always makes small talk?

"Come, sit."

Li Hao invited Lin Qingying to sit by the edge of the cliff. He returned to his usual spot and then condensed his strength into a thread, casting it into the Sword Cliff.

Lin Qingying observed the thre...

Bian Ruxue gently shook her head. By then, they had already ascended to different realms. The childhood games of the past had ultimately faded away with time.

She drew her thoughts back, noticing that Lin Qingying had already turned and stepped down from the battle platform. Without a word, Bian Ruxue turned and flew away, returning to the holy platform.

As the two returned, the other Holy S...

Chapter 282: The Troublesome Corsican Nationalist

Napoleon clearly hadn’t expected the Crown Prince to summon him for such a matter. Momentarily stunned, he hastily stood up, placed his hand on his chest, and said, "I am deeply honored, Your Highness. That is to say, of course, I am willing to join the Royal Guard Corps!"

Joseph observed the young Napoleon, who, in history, would go on to storm across Europe and upend the old order. Seeing him standing there, nervous an...

Chapter 281: The Young Napoleon

Among the various tasks, the initial ones progressed very smoothly.

For instance, the Paris Police Academy had mostly converted Joseph’s estate into a training ground and purchased several hectares of surrounding land, becoming the largest military and police training base in France.

Of course, there was still a significant shortage of faculty.

With the cooperation of the newly appointed Minister of War, Duke of Broye, an old ...

Chapter 275: The Second Bureau

The sky gradually darkened. Paris' winter was particularly bleak and cold, especially during the brief moment before nightfall, when the little light and warmth would be instantly sucked away, leaving only endless darkness and cold.

The French National Defense Intelligence Bureau, also known as the French General Staff's Second Bureau, was commonly referred to as the "Second Bureau" or simply "the Bureau" by many.

Capt...

Chapter 274: A Missed Opportunity

The city defense headquarters was filled with laughter and cheerful voices. The staff officers had even privately started a betting pool. However, they weren’t betting on the outcome of the fleet’s engagement, but rather on whether the fleet would manage to break through the Dardanelles and enter the Sea of Marmara either today or tomorrow.

Lieutenant Colonel Fernand quietly asked Charles, “Colonel, aren’t you goi...

Chapter 524: Avish’s Ceasefire Terms

Charlot was not so arrogant as to believe that, having just ascended to the Saint rank, he could challenge a pinnacle Saint of the twenty-third rank.

As Gareth had once said, it had been a very long time since Charlot had engaged in a proper duel. After Emilia Mecklenburg dealt with Monteblanc, Charlot turned his attention to the Saints of the New Continent. Armed with nothing but his bare fists, he charged at them.

Few of the New Continent Saints could withstand a full-force stri...

Chapter 523: Daddy! This Looks Delicious, Can I Eat It?

A Saint rank fighter from the New Continent's group had a sudden gleam in his eye and signaled his two companions. The three accelerated abruptly, splitting into three directions as they streaked like lightning toward Charlot Mecklenburg.

Charlot’s subordinates, seeing this, were about to take to the air to intervene. However, the Mecklenburg patriarch’s figure blurred at a speed so extreme that afterimages trailed behind him. Without employing any visible techniques, he unleashed a...

The sword aura reflected within the 22-layer Dao Domain, slicing directly across Bian Ruxue's cheek, leaving a visible wound on her delicate face.

However, the injury healed in an instant. Bian Ruxue's body vanished into the void, evading the sharp edge of the sword in the very moment she was hurt.

When she reappeared, her expression had grown significantly more serious.

The sword in his hand seemed to transform into an autumn breeze. As it swung, the sword qi abruptly disappeared, yet the void itself was sliced open.

"The sun and moon leave their marks wherever they shine. Your sword? It’s nothing but a trifling trick!"

Haoyue Holy Son hovered mid-air, his gaze icy as he looked down at Qiu Wuhen. The moment Qiu Wuhen swung his sword, Haoyue Holy ...

Chapter 280: Opening the South Asian Front

When Joseph saw the logistics list and the troop deployment expenses, he felt an immediate headache.

Just for the first batch of 10,000 soldiers, the mobilization costs exceeded 500,000 livres. This amount only covered transporting the troops from France to Tunis. Once there, a continuous supply of food, fodder, and other consumables would be required, costing at least 400,000 livres per month.

Chapter 279: The First Colony in the Pacific

After the Māori chief repeatedly confirmed the transaction details with Dufresne and consulted with the high priest Matro to ensure there were no hidden traps, he solemnly agreed to the French proposal to purchase land.

Chief Toue, seemingly moved by the French's sincerity to the point of feeling indebted, agreed to sell Dufresne 1,000 acres of land with full ownership rights, provided the location was not too close to the Tai...

Chapter 273: The Delayed 28 Days

The Ottoman Empire and the Germans were hardly prepared at the Dardanelles.

This was what General Winter told Charles, who excitedly sent a telegram to him: "Your plan was very successful, Colonel."

"The intelligence we have received shows that the majority of the more than one hundred artillery pieces the Ottoman Empire has equipped at the Dardanelles are outdated guns from over a decade ago. There are no more than ...

Chapter 272: The Oil-Adding Tactics

Steed was relieved that Bonnet had not made any public declaration about leaving the Republican Party.

Steed suspected that Schneider wanted Bonnet to remain hidden within the Republican Party, lying in wait for the right moment. At that time, Le Petit Journal would suddenly shift its stance and expose damaging statements about Charles, throwing him into disarray.

Since Bonnet had made no move, Steed...

Chapter 522: I Know He’s Your Fiancé, But I Still Need You to Pass a Message to Him!

From afar, the newly arrived fleet on the horizon cast a dark shadow over the sea. Princess Annie's face turned deathly pale at the sight.

This fleet consisted of four legendary warships—unheard-of ones at that—followed by ten magical alchemy warships and eleven ancient magical ghost ships. The Old Continent had never seen the likes of such ancient magical ghost ships before.

Even Sophia Gallanord closed her eyes in despair.

The enemy was simply too powerful.

Unabl...

Chapter 521: When Charlot Returns, I Shall Return Their Arrogance in Full

Grand Duchess Annie Bretagne stood atop the walls of Black Phoenix City. Her once youthful and innocent face had been entirely replaced by steadfast determination.

Not long after Charlot left, fleets from the New Continent began to arrive. They soon discovered that the Old Continent had a fertile, coastal land, conveniently lacking in powerful defenders. As for the reputation of Charlot Mecklenburg, it was utterly insignificant to these newcomers. To them, Charlot was merely a novelist ...

Various thoughts converged as Li Hao recalled the scenes of Lin Qingying practicing swordsmanship over recent days.

Her graceful figure danced vividly in his mind.

However, Li Hao’s mind grew tranquil, his gaze focused and solemn.

The small flaws he had observed in her sword practice melded in his thoughts, gathering naturally at the tip of his brush.

He prepared ink, ...

Volume 3 - Chapter 132: A Proposal? Guiding Lin Qingying - Part 2

The Dragon-Slaying Holy Son's expression shifted, a mix of anger and shock flashing across his face as domineering cold light burst forth from his eyes. His swordsmanship radiated an emperor's aura, honed by slaying dragons to cultivate its sword intent. Now, it exuded a fearsome swordsmanship pressure, as though he were a divine emperor, standing regally in the arena.

This pressure was so palpable that, ev...

Chapter 278: Common Prosperity

Dufresne skillfully presented small gifts to Chief Toue and High Priest Matro of the Māori. Their attitudes instantly became warm and hospitable.

After a series of somewhat clumsy greetings facilitated by a translator—since the Tahitian language was not entirely identical to Māori—Dufresne went straight to the point and addressed Chief Toue:

“Honorable Chief, I have come here on behalf of His Majesty, the King of France, to pur...

“Line up properly! Anyone trying to push ahead will be thrown straight into the Gulf of Gabès!”

At the docks, over a dozen Tunisian Legion soldiers on horseback shouted commands in Arabic.

At the foot of three gangplanks leading to transport ships, doctors from the Twin Trading Company examined the former Tunisian Imperial Guards. Those deemed physically fit were allowed onto th...

Chapter 271: Commercial Intelligence

If it were the old Charles, he would have known nothing about the outside world, aside from military intelligence.

Even if he knew something, it would be outdated, useless, or possibly a carefully crafted lie by the enemy.

But now, Charles has the "Lady in White."

The "Lady in White" may not be very suitable for gathering commercial intelligence, and Charles worried that she might resist this task.

Chapter 520: The New Continent Assembly

If we rewind two or three years, Andreas’ fame far outshone Menielman’s.

The Empire’s First Rose!

It wasn’t just an honorary title.

But to be the youngest Saint rank in the Black Phoenix Dynasty—now that was a reputation of true splendor.

However, the identities and statuses of the two were now entirely different. Menielman had risen to become a major figure in the Farsian Navy.

Andreas, on the other hand, had become a vassal of Charlot Mecklenburg!

Chapter 519: The Aristocratic Flair of the Old Nobility!

When Charlot Mecklenburg arrived in Cappadocia, he found the city bustling with activity but not without its issues. The influx of people he had sent there, many of whom were his "opponents," had caused a degree of disorder. At least several thousand were imprisoned, leaving Cruse at his wit's end. He couldn’t simply execute or release them, and changing their beliefs seemed nearly impossible.

Charlot, upon learning of the matter, decisively decided to relocate these people to the Agg...
