It took the entirety of his willpower to not turn red in the face and start beating someone up.
He simply took a few seconds to digest the revelation and then said, "Oh. Okay."
Shangguang Ce waited for a few more seconds to gauge his reaction and was promptly disappointed.
"So. . .why were you meditating in the middle of these disasters?" Han Xuhan asked, scratching his head. He found it to be in his best interest to revert to his retarded persona.
"The lightning bol...

Han Xuhan's eyes snapped open in surprise, which barely lasted half a second because almost instantly the force field of the second shredder device disappeared and the two of them fell down into the chaotic seawater once more.
After accidentally gulping down a good mouthful, Han Xuhan managed to stabilise himself and Shangguang Ce against the third wall. Looking up, he saw a familiar face intensely observing him.
Brown hair, typical Asian facial structure, atypical way to displ...

Regret. . . was not the major emotion that welled up in Han Xuhan's heart at the thought of his imminent demise.
Had he not tried to save Shangguang Ce, perhaps he would've managed to survive the flood. However, the feeling he detested the most was guilt– and he was absolutely certain that he hadn't managed to cultivate the mindset of someone who could abandon someone to their death and not brood over the decision for the rest of their life despite having a fairly decent excuse for his ...

"Catch him!" Han Xuhan shouted as he threw Shangguang Ce upwards, the guy still in his meditating pose, unaware of everything.
His enhanced strength was finally put to use, as even without a proper foothold on the ground due to the waves of seawater, he managed to throw the stocky youth twice his size high enough for Zhanxian to catch him by wrapping his skeletal feet around Shangguang Ce's midsection gently.
Little Zhe let out a hiss of pain, its weak skeleton not quite able ...

For the second time in his life, Han Xuhan experienced what it felt like to fly; and once more, he realized that it was not a good feeling.
The sea waves this time were ten times more intense compared to the first one which had given him a sore back barely half an hour ago. To make matters worse, this round of the routine disasters contained not only giant waves, but also columns of water that shot out of the waves like dragons, their speed so fast that he couldn't even react to the s...

"Dammit, dammit, Dammit!"
Cursing with every drop of venom he could muster, Han Xuhan flattened himself against the walls, his eyes locked on the churning clouds above which had come down way too low, some of the wisps almost touching the top of the second wall, a mere height of seven meters approximately.
The silent lightning bolts pulsed as if the entire chunk of cloud was a leviathan and the lightning its veins. Ghost cultivators. . .what else was he going to encounter in hi...

Hahaha! Whoever it was that designed the defence system of the Sunrider Sect must be an absolute idiot! They made the walls transparent. So if we ever need to attack them, we can easily observe what's going on inside. If we manage to make a really spirited, super intimidating assault, even those stationed several layers behind the peripheral wall will piss their pants and run off in fear. It's an easy prey!
Han Xuhan enthusiastically wrote down the third paragraph on his ...

"The walls are actually layered? Wow!" Han Xuhan's exclamation came naturally. It was a sight to behold indeed. The crystalline walls completely wrapped around the entire inner structure from all four directions. The furthest wall at the periphery was pretty much a boundary determiner, barely three meters in height.
It sported window-sized holes all over, behind which lay double-barrelled instruments that closely resembled cannons. In each of these weapons, one barrel was pointed outside ...

"Well, that certainly makes me find your character quite trustworthy," said the invisible guy from a direction Han Xuhan was not facing at the moment.
Han Xuhan laughed happily, continuing to look in the direction he had been facing so far as if he could actually see whoever it was speaking to him.
"Thank you, thank you. My master always said I have the most honest character, as well as an honest face; perfect for the job of a spy."

"Ahhhhh-"
POP~
Han Xuhan's scream came to an abrupt halt as his body hammered onto an incredibly soft, squirming substance, barely avoiding critical joint displacement from the fall.
No, he hadn’t landed on a curvy girl. This wasn’t a xianxia novel with trashy romance. . . .hopefully.
His landing turned out to be a cloud; a small bed-sized miniature version of the usual sort that could be found in the sky.
The cloud was exceptionally elastic, to the point wh...

The exchange between Yuen Zhou and Luo Yi ended on a short note right there. The revelation that all of them would have to rely on external sources of food as soon as their current stock ran out struck the disciples the hardest. As cultivators, all of them had a fairly large appetite, an appetite that grew day by day with their cultivation level. To feed so many hungry, super active stomachs, that too from pure...

It's not teleportation!" Luo Yi declared as Meatball dropped with the weight of several tons on the ground, sending out tremors all around.
"The Titanfall Archipelago is an area surrounded by spatial cracks, formed by a mysterious incident that happened a long, long time ago," Luo Yi began explaining in an warm, soft as if she was spinning fairy tales for her children. It was difficult to take her account of such supernatural events seriously.

For a brief second, Xuan Zi froze, his eyes tracking the twisting air, space and scene right above Han Xuhan's head. But his surprise did not last long. With swift steps forward, he pointed at the dozens of disciples near Xuhan and made a familar tugging motion that they had seen previously during the apprenticeship ceremony.
"Woah-"
"Ow !"

The disciples were caught off guard, as was Luo Yi herself. But Xuan Zi continued to propel away his disciples i...

Xuan Zi's unnaturally loud tone was quite possibly an over-the-top warning toward the new generation of disciples in this tournament, meant to both be a reminder as well as an insult .

Han Xuhan's world was spinning. He couldn't even find the opportunity to throw up properly, carried along the mighty waves down the slopes of the mountain. Thankfully the waves hadn't come from behind or all of them would have been thrown off directly from the top of the mountain peak.
"Aaaah, fuck ! I can't- grrrr....swim !" Someone yelled miserably from his back. Han Xuhan was in no state to tell who it was. He himself was barely holding up.

By the time he had reached those conclusions, he was standing beside Kong Ye, observing the scene as all the elders from the mountain peaks flew up in the air to greet Luo Yi. Kong Ye himself took off a moment later, leaving an intrigued Xuhan behind.
Truly, having the skills to fly as one wished was a goal he desperately wanted to reach. How exciting and entertaining would it be?
Hurried footsteps came from behind, followed by the stormy reappearance of Mu Ran, Yuen Zhou and X...

In front of them was a formally dressed middle-aged woman, her expensive beizi style hanfu flapping in the high sea breeze.
That's right, high sea breeze; the heavy, salty, rough gale that was as pleasant as the scent of wet vegetation it carried.

Sitting in front of him in the lotus position was an ordinary looking young man with an unnaturally serene expression on his face, eyes closed and fists clenched.

"Master, shouldn't we be packing up our belongings if we're going to leave for the destination of the tournament today?" Han Xuhan said, internally burning with the curiosity to understand what the hell would actually happen when they executed the spell.

Promising to send a copy of the manual the next time they had an exchange of resources (because Xuhan hadn't memorized the manual, just as usual) , he left the realm of laws.
Night was at its darkest, he realized after a look outside . The mountains were asleep with its inhabitants. Tomorrow was a big day. Everyone wanted to get ample rest.
Snuffing out the lungs cleansing candles (scented), Xuhan laid down on his bed and drifted off to sleep easily, the mental labour of the day h...

"Name your price!" Xuhan coolly replied, his heart in ecstasy. "Whatever it is, I'll reduce it to one-third of that."

Tap, tap, tap....
The sound of pen rhythmically poking a tabletop reverbated inside the deathly silent hut. Han Xuhan sat on his bed, his arms resting on the table, watching Zhanxian and Tun Shi Tian write down whatever he instructed them to. It was both a punishment and a training for the minions, as they had already moved past the language spoken in their region, Xuhan having brutally hammered it into them after the incident with the report on Fang Xie where they had skipped a very i...

The word sun wasn’t exactly an accurate description of this world, he realized. It wasn’t a giant ball of gas and plasma. Rather, it seemed to be pretty close to an inhabitable planet if he ignored the fire crackling all around him. The soil looked pretty close to earth's, albeit being covered in a thick layer of ash. The terrain was mostly flat. But some long destroyed objects strewn across it suggested signs of civilizations once existing here. The biggest giveaway was of course not the...

Placing the paper inside the box, Xuhan hid it inside one of his qi-print sensitive trunks where he usually kept his most treasured resources. Then he entered meditation to investigate what was going on inside his dao tower.
Soon, the bright white palace inside his mind surfaced in front of his mental gaze. Floating inside, he found Zhanxian and little Tian curled up in one corner of the main hall, hugging each other shivering quietly.

"Papa! Eat?" Little Zhe asked in an innocent tone while edging near the contents of the box nonchalantly. Han Xuhan, who was busy deciphering the terrible handwriting on the paper that had come with it, lightly gripped the snake by a rib and pushed it back.
The main issue concerning little Zhe was that its appearance had screwed up Xuhan's personal control over his dao tower far more impactfully than its two predecessors. While Zhanxian and little Tian had started showing signs of bec...
