Volume 3 - Chapter 132: A Proposal? Guiding Lin Qingying – Part 1

The Sword Saint's personal arrival at the Hundred Battles Arena pushed the atmosphere to its peak.

A million outer sect disciples were ablaze with excitement. Given their status, it was almost impossible to witness the Sword Ancestor Holy Land's most powerful figure in action on ordinary days. At best, they might occasionally get to hear the teachings of a Saint.

The inner sect prodigies present als...

Suddenly, a tremendous force pulled, causing its body to rise into the air once more, yanked back to the towering Sword Cliff thousands of feet above.

The one holding the line was still Li Hao.

“Holy Son, spare me! Holy Son, spare me!” the dragon demon Ao Jie hastily begged for mercy.

Li Hao looked a bit helpless and said, “Why is it you again? Can’t you lear...

Chapter 276: Disintegrating the Indigenous Tribes

The Marquis of Wellesley wore a serene smile. “Hmm, that’s quite in line with the Ottoman’s habits.”

Lord Talmos spoke anxiously, “But, my lord, your North African strategy hinges on a pincer movement against Tunis. If the Ottomans remain inactive…”

The British Foreign Secretary nodded. “It’s not just them. The Moroccans are likely to merely observe too—they’ll still receive our aid regardless.�...

Chapter 275: Open Conspiracy

Joseph calmly reviewed the report on the two British spies. Such antics from the British no longer fazed him—he might even feel unsettled if they weren’t scheming about something.

The spies had been captured under the direct leadership of Ishak Pasha.

Thanks to detailed intelligence, the agents were apprehended before they could resort to poison. Tunisian operatives had subdued them swiftly.

Ishak Pasha had also uncovered a tro...

Chapter 270: Internal Issues

Rayom carefully considered Grevy’s words.

He believed Grevy was right. Before this, Rayom had not realized that Charles was his potential rival; it was as if he had suddenly awoken to the truth.

If this continued, it would be Charles, not him, who would possess Saint-Étienne in the future.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend," Rayom understood what Grevy meant by "cooperation"—it was about dealing with Charles...

Chapter 269: Grevy's "Cooperation"

Saint-Étienne, over 400 kilometers from Paris, is the 14th largest city in France by population.

Grevy sat alone by the window in the Weber Café, sipping his coffee while watching the massive chimneys outside. Thick black smoke billowed out of them in clouds, occasionally sparking with fiery embers, like ink being splashed upwards, darkening the sky completely.

Even the snow on the ground and rooftops was tinged ...

Chapter 518: A Mere Evil God? Not Worth the Time?

Charlot Mecklenburg gazed back toward the distant horizon, where within the endless storm, a colossal creature loomed like a mountain. It floated upon the ocean's surface, its form shrouded in the tempest, faint and obscure, as if veiled in a surreal haze. Its appearance defied clarity.

He made a slashing motion across his neck, a taunting gesture of defiance.

Opportunities to provoke an evil god were rare, and Charlot intended to seize this one. Perhaps he could even earn a fleet...

Chapter 517: It Has Rules, but No Reason

Charlot Mecklenburg was slightly surprised. Then he understood and said, "It has rules, but no reason?"

Juno Arthur smiled faintly and replied, "More or less."

Charlot suddenly thought of the God of Joy. Although it was also an Evil God, it clearly wasn't powerful enough to be called "strong."

The New Continent housed thirty-six Great Evil Gods, but in truth, there were more than just thirty-six.

Charlot pondered for a moment, recalling the storm over the sea, and shoo...

When all the techniques collected in the Sword Tower were cultivated to the level of a Dao Domain, Li Hao's total number of Dao Domains reached 172 layers!

Among these, over a hundred layers were various Sword Domains.

Once deployed, the Sword Domains filled the area with sword energy crisscrossing in all directions. Now l...

At Yaochi Peak...

This place was originally known as the Saintess Peak of Yaochi. However, after Yao Zu ascended to the rank of Semi-Saint, the title "Saintess" was removed, leaving only "Yaochi."

The scenery was picturesque, and the spiritual energy was exceptionally dense. Jiang Yingyue brought Li Hao to the peak, flying on her sword. With the Sword Lord's Token in her possession...

Chapter 274: The Tunisian Epic

Joseph raised the small booklet toward Joey with a confident gesture. "You needn't worry about this. I believe the rumors will soon die down."

"By the way, your report also mentioned something about the tribes in Tunis?"

"Yes, Your Highness," Joey replied, his face clouding at the mention of "tribes." "During the last great uprising, the various tribes of Tunis sent warriors to participate. As a result, they all claim a share of the cr...

Chapter 273: Gazing Toward New Zealand

Joseph appeared somewhat regretful:
"If those tens of thousands of Guards had been used to build roads, the ‘King’s Highway’ between Tunis and El Aouina might have been completed by now."

Currently, various regions of Tunis were imitating France by constructing “King’s Highways,” “local roads,” and “secondary roads.” However, they couldn’t match France’s luxury. The so-called King’s Highway here was merel...

Chapter 268: Development Funds

It was hard to believe, but Charles’ tank design plans were surprisingly similar to those of General Luka, who was also working on a tank design. At least in terms of requirements, there were a few similarities:

• A weight of around 100 tons,

• Cannons on all four sides,

• Armor thickness around 30mm for the front and sides.

General Luka was excited and spoke incoherently, �...

Chapter 267: Super Heavy Tank

In the early hours of Berlin, Wilhelmstrasse was blanketed with snow.

The heavy snowfall overnight had smoothed the snow on the streets like a mirror, almost like a layer of cream cake, with a few scattered tire tracks and footprints serving as delicate decorations.

In the General Staff's meeting room at the military headquarters in Fagginham, the military representatives and the representatives from the 7th Transport D...

Cresto looked worried as he said, "After leaving the Aggras Sea, we quickly encountered a storm. Once the storm passed, we discovered this island. We thought we could rest here before resuming our journey back to Fars."

"But we didn’t expect that as soon as we leave, we encounter another storm. After breaking through the storm, we end up right back here. No matter which direction we sail, the result is always the same."

Charlot was slightly surprised and remarked, "A ghostly maz...

Chapter 515: Charlot Mecklenburg's Brand

The Evil God of the Aggras Sea Storm, Ipugil, views you as a mortal enemy!

Charlot felt disoriented as his diary suddenly emitted a thought.

Who is this Storm Evil God?
Why does he see me as a mortal enemy?

Before Charlot could collect himself, the diary transmitted a second thought:
The Evil God of the Ocean Currents and Tides, Siroshen, views you as a mortal enemy!

Charlot was even more stunned.
He had never even heard of this Evil God. Why did this one also...

When Li Hao reached the seventh level of the Sword Tower, it was already at the stage of Dao-grade techniques and divine abilities.

Here, there were Dao-grade body refinement techniques and sword techniques. Upon reaching perfection, the swordsmanship could align with the Dao itself.

The eighth level of the Sword Tower exclusively housed Dao-grade techniques, including exceedingly ...

“Ninety-seven layers of Dao Domain?”

Hearing the Sword Lord’s words, the three were stunned. They exchanged bewildered glances, wondering if they had misheard.

Jiang Yingyue looked completely dazed, her mind blank except for a cascade of question marks.

She didn’t dare doubt the Sword Lord; instead, she chose to believe...

Osman.

Constantinople.

Sultan Hamid I lay in bed, weakly watching as the British envoy took his leave.

Only after the servant bowed and closed the grand doors did the Sultan turn his feeble gaze toward the Grand Vizier.

“What do you think is the best way to handle this?” he asked.

Grand Vizier Yusuf pondered for a few moments before replying,
“Great Sultan, w...

Viscount Olivier hesitated slightly and said, “Your Highness, but if there are too many sales restrictions, the factories might struggle to survive…”

Joseph waved his hand with a smile. “Rest assured, the Association will not interfere with the vast majority of orders. Only specific buyers who might pose a threat to national security will be restricted, and such cases might occur only once every few years.”

Chapter 266: The Effect of Formulas

During this period, the explosive charge in torpedo warheads was typically TNT.

For ordinary bombs or artillery shells, TNT was sufficient, and there was no need for improvement. In fact, TNT was still quite advanced for this era.

(Note: TNT was first used as an explosive around 1907. Before this, picric acid was used. After the invention of TNT, it was used as a bright yellow dye for nearly 40 years. Its purpos...

Chapter 514: The Final Labyrinth God

Charlot let out a roar and awoke from his Bloodfeast Meditation.
His body was drenched in sweat, soaking through all his clothes. Had he made even the slightest mistake earlier, he might have fallen into corruption.

Charlot had known all along that the five divine creatures aboard the Radiant Holy Kingdom were extraordinarily sinister and had always been cautious. Yet, he hadn’t expected that he would still come so close to succumbing.

Breaking free from the taint of the Evil...

Chapter 513: The Shattering of Agmirlas Labyrinth

Emilia Mecklenburg floated high in the sky, her petite hand pointing toward the endless darkness like a queen of the night, exuding a boundless, domineering presence. Red lightning converged in torrents upon a single section of the heavens at her command, forming a faint image of a fearsome beast with wings of thunder.

The Sea Serpent Queen Posugi didn’t hesitate; she vanished without a trace, leaving behind only Charlot Mecklenburg, awkward and exposed.

Charlot realized only th...

Li Hao looked exceptionally young, an age where one would typically be striving forward, dedicating themselves to the pursuit of martial arts. Who would have the leisure to immerse themselves in other pursuits?

"You mentioned a painting earlier, right? Let me take a look."

The Sword Lord spoke.

The two masked Sword Attendants turned their gaze toward L...

Lin Shanhai and the others turned their gaze in the direction of the voice. When they saw the glance cast by Yao Zu, they were all stunned. Their gazes shifted immediately to Li Hao.

When did Li Hao become acquainted with Yao Zu?

Could it be that Yao Zu admired his skill in refining medicinal ingredients?

“Go quickly, then. Don’t keep Yao Zu waiting.”

Chapter 270: Royal Power in the New Era

William Murdoch naturally chose to invest without hesitation, using the distilled gas and the patent for gas lamps, which still existed solely in his mind, to acquire a 5% stake in the Gas Lamp Company.

Five percent might not seem like much, but based on an investment valuation of three million livres, it amounted to a hefty 150,000!
This didn’t even include future dividends and the rising share value as the company grew.

Chapter 269: In the 18th Century, Talent Was Paramount!

"You've done an excellent job," Joseph said to William Murdoch, sparing no words of praise. "Your highly effective work has brought much-needed irrigation to hundreds of parishes, powered numerous mills, and ensured their operation even during last winter's freezing conditions when rivers were covered with ice.

"You and the United Steam Engine Company have been widely lauded by all French citizens, myself included. I...

Chapter 265: The Brennan Torpedo

After listening to Tigani's explanation, Charles realized that the "Brennan torpedo" of this period was not the same as the modern wire-guided torpedoes.

The main difference was that the "Brennan torpedo" used the guiding wire not only for control but also for power transmission.

"It is equipped with an electric engine," Tigani explained. "Our batteries can't store enough energy to propel it toward the target, and th...

Charles asked sarcastically, "Do you understand design?"

"No, I don't," replied Tigani without hesitation.

Charles asked again, "Do you understand mathematics?"

Tigani laughed, "I have never passed a math test in my life!"

"Then what are you doing here?"

Actually, Charles had already guessed the answer. This rich second-generation was here to "chase stars."

Tigani spread his hands, lo...

Chapter 512: Little Snake, Stay Away from My Father!

Charlot lowered his voice and asked, "How is Eumibella?"

Juno replied indifferently, "I don't know, but she must have suffered serious damage. Right now, she can only offer the faintest trace of power."

Charlot glanced at Emilia Mecklenburg, who was fighting with great enthusiasm. He felt a peculiar attachment to his eldest daughter. Charlot understood that such father-daughter affection was unusual, yet he couldn't help but feel a mysterious sense of concern. He hesitated before ...
