“Where are my parents?” Amanda shouted as she burst into Arthur Cadogan’s office.
Her armor was almost fully materialized around her body; only the helmet was missing. She supposed that made her a somewhat bizarre sight, not that the CEO of Regum seemed to notice. Arthur Cadogan didn’t even acknowledge her entrance. He had his back to her and was staring at the city’s skyline with far too much composure considering what loomed on the h...

Liu Jin goes on a short walk around the temple once he deems himself healthy enough. The disciples in the infirmary advise him against it, but not a single one of them dares to oppose him. They respect him far too much for that.
As a doctor, Liu Jin cannot help but be a little disappointed in them. They should know a doctor’s opinion of his own health is the least reliable of all. However, as someone who has been bedridden for days, he will not complain too much. It feels go...

“You were both reckless,” Liu Jin tells Pan Qiu and Khong Hu. “Following Senior Brother Guo was understandable. One could argue it is the reason you’re both alive. Still, eating the meat of an Earth Realm dragon was far too dangerous. You are lucky your meridians weren’t damaged irrevocably.”
“That was something that could happen?” Pan Qiu shouts. “I thought internal damage was the more likely negative outcome.”
“Damage to your meridians is internal...

Multiple energy blasts sailed through the air, but Disk nimbly avoided them, his flight path drawing an S on the air. The black knight leaped at him, surging over the snow-covered streets, his fists drawn and ready.
Disk flew up.
“Hey! Get back here!”
Numerous blasts tried to strike Disks’ back, but a steady creation of energy disks behind him kept the hero safe. He studiously ignored the knight’s shouting and returned to his...

“Do you feel that person over there?”
Liu Jin’s heart drops when Xun Hunwen casually points to where Senior Brother Guo and the others are. Even that seemingly harmless gesture could kill them all if Xun Huwen wished for it.
“Of course, you do. You had hopes in him until a few moments ago. I don’t blame you for it. He’s strong. Many Sects in the Crimson Cloud Empire would feel their future is assured with someone like him in their ranks. Even if we’re speak...

As the tens of disciples fire at the monsters, Huang Shing finds himself wishing he had bigger fists.
None of his techniques have a long enough range to be useful right now. He cannot even charge at the enemy and trust in his cultivation to protect him from stray hits. There are too many enemies and too much power being thrown around. Being in the True Realm does not make him invulnerable. He might be able to take a few stray hits without damage, but eventually, he’ll make a...

Villain.
That was the first thought that ran through Disk’s mind upon laying eyes on the man who had dropped down in front of him. The black suit, the hard lines, the ominous green. It was hard to think of him as anything else.
His mentor, White Stripes, once told him judging people by their costumes was a bad habit of his. Of course, that had been in the days before the PR Department started doing its utmost best to have everyone dressed...

One touch.
That is all it takes for the monster’s flesh to begin corrupting his own. Its foul presence seeps into his aura in such a violent way that Liu Jin has to wonder how any of the disciples infected with flesh buds could have missed it. This is not a matter of him having considerably better control and awareness than the rest. The Qi in these monsters is so fundamentally unnatural that anything more than the smallest of doses should threaten to overwhelm them.

I fight airlines now. It's my thing. Also, I lost my cane, which is technically a good thing since I don't really need it anymore since I'm all healthy, but still! That thing helped me walk for years, so not having it kind of sucks.

Yes, we're doing this again, unfortunately. I have been meaning to put up the notice since yesterday, but things kept happening. The next chapter of Ave Xia Rem Y will be delayed until Tuesday night for Core Disciples. Similarly, the next chapter of Nine-to-Five won't go up this Friday but rather Sunday night.
Once again, apologies to all for the inconvenience.

Their footsteps echo loudly throughout the corridors.
A vicious battle rages outside, but the sounds cannot reach them down here. The temple is too strong and sturdy to ever tremble, and the walls too thick to allow any noise to pass through. The battle outside could be happening in some distant kingdom, and it wouldn't make a difference to them right now.
For Feng Hao, that is doubly true. The call gets stronger the deeper they go, effortlessly overpowering everything e...

You know how I said I was traveling but there shouldn't be any delays?
Yeah, shows what I know. All my plans this week were torpedoed and for a moment it even looked like I wasn't going to be able to travel. As a result, there will be a delay in the release of the next chapter of Ave Xia Rem Y for Core Disciples.
Instead of Monday morning. The chapter will be out Tuesday Evening at a latest.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

The fire alarm going off was the last thing Nathaniel Robards expected that morning.
The old Exceed slowly set down his newspaper next to his steaming cup of coffee, his third one that morning, and glanced towards the balcony. Copious amounts of snow were still falling from the sky thanks to Jack Frost’s ill-conceived scheme. A scheme that, nevertheless, one would assume should prevent fires from happening. Blizzards, after all, were not known f...

The first creatures appeared around three hours ago, and their numbers have only grown since then.
There are not so many of them that they can completely surround them, but only because the perimeter of the temple walls is far larger than the actual building. Instead, the monsters gather in large groups around specific spots. They are large blotted masses looming in every direction. Even from this far, the smell of dead and rotten flesh is potent.
It is Liu Jin’s belie...

Feng Zhi walks with a noticeable limp.
The Young Master of the Eternal Flame Clan has exerted himself far too much in too little time, and all he can do now is grit his teeth and bear it. His body might cry out in protest, but that’s nothing compared to his inner turmoil. He is no stranger to difficult fights and bitter defeats. The latter, in particular, has happened to him far more often than he’d like.
And yet, though he did not lose, Feng Zhi cannot recall the la...

The dismal news brought back by Huang Shing put an end to all prospects of a safe evacuation. However, that does not mean they stop preparing for that. If all goes wrong, fleeing might very well be the only choice left. They have to do everything they can to make sure they are ready.
“Hmm, not bad,” Bei Hong says as he flexes his arms to test their strength. There are still bandages wrapped around most of his body.
“No, it is fairly bad,” Liu Jin says. “I have ...

The children of Port Stanley were no strangers to snowball fights, snow forts, snow angels, and snowmen. Similarly, the adults were all too familiar with having to shovel snow away from their homes. Despite that, Port Stanley’s last White Christmas took place somewhere in the seventies. Snow was usually reserved for February, the latter half of January, and occasionally the first week of March.
This was the middle of the summer. People had woke...

They are welcomed back into the temple with awe.
Many harbored doubts when Liu Jin and the other disciples left to search for Feng Hao. Now, they return not just successful but with nary a scratch and stories of a daring rescue. Ten, in particular, is all too eager to spread an animated and heavily exaggerating retelling of how Liu Jin supposedly fought off two Core Disciples.
It occurs to Liu Jin that bringing the disciple from the Armory with him may have been a mistak...

Liu Jin comes down like lightning, accelerating with Ground Contraction and then using the same technique to counter his momentum before touching the ground. Not one of Liu Jin’s hairs is out of place, despite the lightning that sparks around him. He holds himself with poise. His Qi does not blaze with force but calmly spreads like water, impressing his strength onto others with such subtlety one could be forgiven for missing it.
