Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

Dual Cultivation God Returns

Dual Cultivation God Returns

"Wu Long, the God of Pleasure, has fallen as he failed to breakthrough." This news have shocked all of the Three Boundless Worlds. Meanwhile, a sixteen-year-old disciple of a dual cultivation sect was startled awake from a coma, and after some moments of calming down and gathering his thoughts, a dangerous light flickered deep in his eyes: "Jun Shaoshan, I will climb back to the top and make you pay for everything, no one has ever been safe after offending me, Wu Long!" -------------- Dual cultivation is a method of cultivation that can be seen described in a lot of cultivation novels where a man and a woman cultivates together by having sex. -------------- ***DIscord Link: https://discord.gg/kDpJF6MUjr The Image on the cover is AI-generated with some minor adjustments and text editing done over it. Please check the auxiliary chapter with Frequently Asked Questions since there may be some answers to the questions you might want to ask. If you want to ask questions regarding the novel before reading you can do so in the comment section of the said auxiliary chapter. If you have posted a review and it is not appearing on the novel page and not changing the novel score, it may have stuck in the system (happened in the past and occasionally happening now). Please comment under the FAQ auxiliary chapter mentioned above if you notice this happen. I can usually contact support in daytime on weekdays and the problem is fixed within days and the 'stuck' reviews appear on the page. Thank you XD -------------- ***The explicit chapters will be marked in the chapter name after the chapter number as (R18) and will contain no crucial plot, only explicit scene, so if you want to read it as a novel without explicit scenes you absolutely can by just skipping the explicit chapters. Though as a disclaimer: dual cultivation IS the theme of the novel so there will still be some provocative or slightly explicit content in the normal chapters, but not full-on long explicit scenes. ***Since it seems that there are a lot of people that are very particular about what they want I will put here some of the things to expect so that it is easier for people to decide if they want to read this or not: - NO yaoi, NO yuri, NO incest ; - NO rape ( it may be mentioned, but only as a thing that exists, not in relation to any particular character ); - MC's heroines will NEVER cheat on him; - MC's heroines will NOT ALWAYS have V cards (but there will be a lot of them who do); These are all non-negotiable so if you cannot tolerate a novel that adheres to any of the above sentences you should probably skip this one. !!! WARNING (ADVERTISEMENT) there will be MILFs. XD

Shadow figure, sponge baby
In some places related to shadow play, such as the shadow play experience hall next to the intangible image hall that was transformed from an idle rural primary school (this was also the classroom for primary school students to learn shadow play), shadow plays made by primary school students hung on the walls, including shadow plays in the shape of sponge babies. This showed that the art of shadow play kept pace with the times in the process of inheritance, integrating cartoon images that modern students were interested in. Modern cartoon images such as sponge babies were also made into shadow play characters, making shadow play glow with new vitality and attracting more young people to pay attention to this ancient art form. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

A scientific explanation of the shadow of a human figure
The humanoid shadow was an illusion. People could sense a living shadow in their field of vision with their peripheral vision or directly feel it. These black shadows usually flashed for a short time, and sometimes they could appear in their complete form. Their bodies were usually dark shadows with a sense of depth, without facial or limb details. The scientific explanation for the humanoid shadow did not provide a definite answer. Science could not explain the cause of this phenomenon, so it could not give a scientific explanation.

A scientific explanation of the shadow of a human figure
There was no conclusive scientific explanation for the humanoid shadow. Although there were some theories that tried to explain the appearance of these shadows, there was not enough evidence to support these theories. One explanation was that these shadows might be an optical phenomenon, a darker area formed by objects blocking the transmission of light. However, this explanation could not completely explain the specific shadow humanoid phenomenon that people saw under the light. Therefore, the scientific explanation for the humanoid shadow remained an unsolved mystery.

A scientific explanation of the shadow of a human figure
The scientific explanation for the humanoid shadow was one of the optical phenomena. When an object blocked the light, it would form a darker area, which was the shadow. Shadows are formed because light travels in a straight line. This phenomenon could explain the black shadows that people saw under the light, but there was no definite answer as to whether the specific black shadow humanoid phenomenon belonged to this scientific explanation.
