“Are you sure you’re too busy to join me tonight?” Titus spoke into the terminal attached to his wrist.
“Yes. Enjoy with Polly without me. I’d rather tough it out another night than get chewed out by you and the other shareholders if I don’t deal with this properly.”<...
2024-07-01 11:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostFor a moment, everyone in the room alternated glances between the three strange kids and the expert from the Bloodwave Conclave.
Despite the tension in the room, Li Lang cleared his throat and walked closer to the man in charge.
“Senior Tai, it’s been a while. I hope you’ve been well.”
“...I remember telling...
2024-06-28 22:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostHaving parted with Raven, Commander Poltrix didn’t dawdle and walked at a brisk pace. The large figure in power armor noisily walked past a patrol without stopping. The patrols had to quickly move out of the way and salute the man, not daring to move until their superior was a distance away.
I continued following him through th...
2024-06-28 11:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostLi Lang quickly accepted the reality of having to carry his new pill furnace around from now on. It was almost the size of a person, but with his cultivation now in the fifth stage of Energy Gathering, it shouldn’t pose too much of a problem.
“Now then. Since you claim you have no experience employing the basic techniques of ...
2024-06-27 22:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostA week passed, and Li Lang was hit with a hard truth.
Brushweaver tools were expensive.
The Elemental Serpent fang and Silver Thorn Lion mane he used for his Moon Brush were way out of his budget. They each cost hundreds of Qi stones and thus, out of Li Lang’s means.
This was because both these materials came ...
2024-06-26 22:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day, I returned to the lab once again. I briefly swept my eyes across the fenced-off test subjects, but couldn’t spot Polina, the woman who I had messaged last night.
I didn’t mind, as I had other avenues to contact her and I’d rather not raise any suspicions.
The senior researcher made a short announcement o...
2024-06-26 11:10:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Sir…You are?” Li Lang cautiously asked the muscular man by the door.
He had a suspicion that this was the proctor for his Brushweaver test, but that would also mean he was an esteemed one star Brushweaver. Li Lang’s mind just couldn’t make the connection between the brawny man before him with someone who elegantly held...
2024-06-25 22:30:02 +0000 UTC View PostLi Lang’s abrupt actions had startled his two companions. They both jumped out of their bed in a reflexive reaction to Li Lang jumping up.
“B-boss?”
“Umm, are you okay over there?”
Li Lang felt his heart pumping, so he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before responding.
“I’ve…broken t...

2024-06-24 11:10:03 +0000 UTC View PostLi Lang watched on as his new mentor continued to inscribe runes onto the metal spear. He believed he recognized a few of the runes, but it was hard to confirm when it was distorted by the rounded surface and the other ones overlapping with it.
Yi Lin concentrated intently as he moved on from working on the shaft to the spearhead...

The discussion among my fellow researchers in laboratory three only lasted the day. When I arrived at the lab the next morning, I found its interior layout had drastically changed overnight. They had moved around a lot of the mac...
2024-06-21 11:37:19 +0000 UTC View Post“Master Yi Lin, how can you possibly have such bad handwriting?” Li Lang asked the moment he stepped into the study.
Yi Lin stared blankly for a brief moment at the sudden question before scratching his head.
“Oh…That was why I was young. I’ve improved…over the years. And I told you to just call me Yi Lin. No ne...
2024-06-20 22:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostNow then, how should I proceed with studying spiritual roots?
Li Lang dove into his old memories of the few cultivation novels he had read. He normally only read the beginning parts and the ending, skimming for sections to do with immortality. Many of them never went into detail about how, except to absorb energy, but cu...

“We have submitted your request for an appointment, sir. There is nothing else we can do for today but wait,” the receptionist politely replied.
She didn’t bat an eye to the cyborg before her, who was obviously getting agitated.

As a dozen young Brushweavers concentrated on their work, Li Lang silently observed them.
On each desk was a small stack of talisman paper and ink. The young cultivators behind each desk carefully held their brush with their off-hand supporting their domin...

“We have connections up here?”

After having heard no response coming from the room, Raven opened the door into the room. She found it completely empty, with no one there.
Her heart began to beat rapidly as she ran through a scenario in her head. A scenario where their captive had escaped and wh...
2024-06-12 11:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as the match started, Li Lang didn’t hesitate to unleash his Veiling Shroud Qi art. A cloud of grey smoke quickly took over the platform they fought on.
This was because Li Lang didn’t doubt his opponent had already learned about the technique he had just employed the previous round. No matter how good Long Yi was at ...
