No one was optimistic about Yang Xiao, and even Bai Yujing did not speak for Yang Xiao.

I lean closer, squinting at the stone. The crack runs vertically between two blocks. Too straight to be natural. My pulse quickens. “No way…” I press my palm against the stone and push. Nothing. I try again, harder. Still nothing. Then I notice a slight indentation near the bottom edge. A handhold. I wedge my fingers into it and pull. The stone shifts. Just slightly. My eyes widen. “Well, hello.” With a stronger tug, the entire slab grinds inward with a low groaning sound.

"This stone exists because reality says it exists. But you can say otherwise. Try." I stared at the stone. Felt for those threads connecting it to the world. Then, carefully, I imagined cutting one thread. Just one. The stone flickered. "Good!" Dracula said. "Again. Cut another thread." I cut another. Then another. With each thread severed, the stone became less real. Less solid. Finally, it simply... wasn't. It didn't explode. Didn't disappear dramatically. It just stopped existing. I stumbled, suddenly exhausted. "That was better," Dracula said. "But it still cost you too much energy. You're cutting threads individually. What you need to learn is how to cut them all at once. Efficiently."

They were currently uncut rocks. I put one of the larger rocks in my table vice and put a tray under it. I took my cutting tool and started just cutting off pieces of it. I continued cutting until the raw stone was now fifty smaller pieces, ranging from a half carat to four carats. I also had enough diamond dust to make a couple wedding bands.

Long Chen took the sword, ordered several soldiers to bring a large rock and place it under the room. Long Chen went downstairs and stood in front of the large rock. "I will show you the power of this sword. So that you will be more interested in it," said Long Chen. Long Chen took a breath, then took a stance and swung the sword quickly at the large rock. Then he turned around and smiled at the people there. BANGGGGGG After Long Chen turned around, the stone was split in two perfectly, making their eyes widen in astonishment. Was it that easy to cut the large stone? Even the split in the stone was perfect in their eyes.

"This stone is small, so its price is cheap. It only costs 200,000 yuan!" After receiving the bill, Christiano went to the cashier to pay for it. Adeline stood to the side and watched as the staff member began to cut the stone. She was both excited and nervous! When the first cut started, Adeline closed his eyes nervously.
