This Week's Chapters (February 10, 2025)

As some of you probably remember, I play Master Duel. I hate myself that way. If anyone wants, here's my code you can use to get a Branded deck: 2d7ac0ae

Anyway, here are the week's chapters:

Chapter 304: Attention

~~~

Blades of wind come at Xiao Fang one after another. Trees so large that a chain of thirty people would be unable to go around even the thinnest of them are sliced in an instant. The crimson forest trembles every time one falls. 

Nevertheless, Xiao Fang remains unharmed. The former Young Master of the Xiao Sect easily dodges the countless attacks, leaping from one branch to the next. Though the wind blades are visually impressive, neither their power nor speed is particula...

I wish I could like the korean webtoon format more. There's some interesting stuff, but there's just so much white space in between panels that scrolling down takes twice as long as it should. Come on! It feels like a little kid double spacing everything, so his writing assignment looks longer than it is.

Anyway, here are the week's chapters:

Chapter 303: Mountain

~~~

Chen Guo does not run or use any sort of movement technique to get closer to Huang Shing. The disciple of the Infinite Mountain Sect merely punches the air in Huang Shing’s direction without launching any sort of projectile.

It is like being hit by a mountain.

Stars explode in Huang Shing’s vision. His body carves a mile-long trench through the forest in the blink of an eye, breaking through countless trees. If not for Huang Shing managing to twist in the air and dig...

Chapter 302: Patchwork

~~~

“Is this okay?”

“A little bit higher…Ah! That’s the spot!”

Liu Jin looks down as Su An relaxes on his lap, her long purple hair splayed all over. The young woman sighs in bliss and nuzzles against him while his fingers lightly scratch behind her ears. 

“I am not quite sure this is right,” Liu Jin says.

“No, you’re doing it absolutely right, Boss,” Su An says, her eyes closed. A content hum leaves her throat.

“That is not wha...

I have discovered Marvel Rivals!

I suck, but I also really like it and look forward to not sucking, so actually, this game is really dangerous to my free time even though running around as Captain America and hitting things for pitiful damage is fun.

Chapter 301: If You Do

~~~

The first thing Liu Jin did after the first stage of the tournament reached its conclusion was to procure a list of every member of the Endlessly Raging Valley’s delegation. By that point, the information was freely available to everyone in the city, so it had not been difficult. Still, once he had that sheet of paper in his hands, his eyes stayed on it for several minutes, focusing on one single name.

Su Daji.

That is the name Su An entered the tournament under.

We're back!

I hope you all had some great holidays, and here's hoping this year is a great one for you all! It's the beginning of another year for Ave Xia Rem Y, and I want to thank you all for supporting me. I wouldn't still be on this journey without you!

Chapter 300: I Have Been Told

~~~

Feng Zhi moves through the Realm of the Crimson Cloud with speed and grace. A bracelet around his arm keeps his cultivation level hidden, a common enough practice in the Crimson Cloud Tournament. Still, he is careful not to overextend himself. Should he use too much Qi, the artifact might be overwhelmed and expose him before the proper time.

Theatrics are just as, if not more, important than results in events like this. At least, that is what his father claims. Feng Zhi cannot...

Chapter 299: To The Clouds

~~~

No one else fights Liu Jin for the remainder of the day. In fact, what is left of the first stage ends up being fairly uneventful. Those with the courage to stand before him and plead their case after sensing his terrifying aura can be counted on one hand. When looked at in that light, it can be argued that confronting the Wandering Wind was the most correct choice. 

All the same, Liu Jin has never felt comfortable being feared.

“You frown so deeply despite sharin...

Chapter 298: Bold

~~~

The first stage of the Crimson Cloud Tournament does not take place in the Imperial Palace or even in one of the surrounding districts. Instead, four large warehouses near the city limits are repurposed for the occasion. All the merchandise is cleared out, and over a hundred fighting rings are moved in. This allows for multiple matches to take place simultaneously, but even at that pace, it will take many days for the first stage to reach completion.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

“Finally! You sure took your time getting here!”

Bei Hong’s loud voice greets Liu Jin upon entering the room reserved for the delegation of the Eternal Flame Clan within their Imperial Cloud City Branch. The floor is covered in thick red carpet, and there are multiple amenities for them to entertain themselves with. Bei Hong and Huang Shing are arm-wrestling in the center of the room. Huang Shing glances up and waves at him, but his attention is quickly forced back to th...

It's beginning to look like Christmas!

I was looking at the calender and realized first week of January and the last week of December where maybe a little more up to interpretation than I thought, so just so everyone is in the same page, my break will be on December 30 and January 6.

Chapter 296: Imperial Banquet

~~~

The Imperial Banquet is the last major event held before the start of the Crimson Cloud Tournament. Every delegation set to compete is invited, making it the event with the longest guest list in the Crimson Cloud Empire. However, though the guest list has well over a thousand names, the number of people who actually attend is far smaller.

Because the representatives from the Four Great Sects are guaranteed to be at the Imperial Banquet, those from the weaker Sects know better ...

Chapter 295: Perhaps They Would Die

~~~

“If you are an assassin, I am afraid I will have to kill you. It is unfair of me. I know. I deal with people much worse than assassins every other day. Yet, instead of throwing them to the dungeons and letting them kill each other so the world might be a more silent place, I greet them with open arms and mediate their many childish issues. If I must do that for them, you’d think an assassin would merit lands, riches, and women. It’s all so tiresome.”

Liu Jin blinks. View Post

December is... way closer than I'd like, so I want to take a moment to remind everyone that I will be taking off the last week of December and first week of January as I have done in the past.

Also, Patreon seems to have changed the spacing in posts. I'm not sure how to change that.

Chapter 294: One Day

~~~

It used to be that belonging to the Imperial Cloud City Branch of the Xiao Sect was a prestigious but impressively stress-free position. The Xiao Sect was simply not a significant player in the politics of the Crimson Cloud Empire. Other than the occasional posturing whenever they encountered members of the Yun Sect, the disciples of the Imperial Cloud City Branch were free to dedicate themselves to whatever pursuits caught their fancy.

Those days are gone.

~~~

Of Imperial Cloud City’s many districts, those closest to the palace are, almost uniformly, residential areas. It is there where one can find the luxurious estates of the most important sects of the Empire, including those of the Four Great Sects. Though not as grand as the palace by design, these branches fulfill a critical role. They make it easy for the Emperor to discuss, negotiate, and, more often than not, mediate any issue that might arise between the various powers in the ...

Li Boqin can only look stunned by Xiao Fang’s declaration. Respect and surprise work together to keep his tongue silent.

“That is a stupid idea. She’s an Emperor. She’ll kill you.”

Liu Jin has no such issues.

“I am not planning on challenging her to a fight!” Xiao Fang shouts, glaring at him. “I’m not a fool!”

“Eh…” Li Boqin scratches his beard. “If that is the case, then… How exactly is the Young Master planning to… challenge ...

“Don’t expect me to call you Emperor.”

“That is quite alright. I am not particularly fond of the title.”

“Hmph.”

Liu Jin and Xiao Fang have moved away from the rooftops of Imperial Cloud City. The alleys that run between the city’s countless buildings are so numerous and interconnected that they form an accidental labyrinth. There is no better way to move between districts without drawing attention.

There is also no smellier way. Due to the ma...
