It caused him to even ignore the scene where the remains of the slug began to dissipate into the air, directing his attention to his savior instead.

2025-02-28 12:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostJust as Li Lang began concentrating on his Tracing Origin technique, he suddenly found everything darkening around him. When he glanced up toward the sky, an ear-piercing screech assaulted him as he made eye contact with a golden brown falcon of some sort, with a wingspan that could easily wrap around him and his companions if they wer...

“That young gentleman we saw earlier sure has an interesting set of techniques,” Li Lang commented as he continued to spectate the various duels taking place on the platforms around him. “I can’t believe he has such good mastery of both the water a...
2025-02-27 00:28:15 +0000 UTC View PostI wasn’t sitting still when they turned to fire upon me. Combined with my augmented reaction speed, thanks to my bio-coprocessor, I reacted in time to dodge the bulk of their attack. Still, I could tell I was grazed, seeing how my energy shields flashed before me for a split second.
The power armor had a HUD that displayed its ...
2025-02-26 12:11:01 +0000 UTC View PostLi Lang didn’t know what he expected when they went to greet their elders from The Orchid Covenant. They hadn’t even remembered the last time they showed up at their organization’s headquarters.
They may have garnered some attention from their results from the pocket realm, but to The Orchid Covenant, they were still young ...
2025-02-25 23:56:17 +0000 UTC View PostHaving spotted their fellow members from The Orchid Covenant, the trio soon decided to drop their Skyrunner closer to the colossal Skyvessel belonging to the organization they were officially members of.
This Skyvessel had a classic appearance. It was just like a typical sailboat but with a much wider body. The deck, by itself, c...

On another note, I have also begun planning my next story after Corpo Age. It will be more of a fantasy Litrpg with a focus on magic. Its tentative title is "Construction Mage", and will focus on an Earth Mage building a home (literally) within a world overtaken by dungeons. This will be replacing Corpo Age's Executive tie...
2025-02-24 12:41:15 +0000 UTC View PostInside his own room within the Crucible, Li Lang was currently sitting crossed-leg on his bed, staring intently at a piece of cloth he laid out in front of him. Several small brown seeds were lying before him, vibrating nonstop. This scene remained unchanged for a good half of the morning before Li Lang finally reached out for the seed...

Everyone was busy with their own task.

2025-02-19 23:30:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, Li Lang headed out early to browse the marketplace for various materials and cultivation manuals. Wei Ping accompanied him, while Long Yi stayed behind to focus on brushing up on his skills for the upcoming event.
There were many things they missed the last time they were at the marketplace due to the lack of ti...
2025-02-18 23:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostNoting down his observations, it didn’t take long for Li Lang to form a theory.
“The three elements that cannibalized the other two are fire, water, and metal,” he muttered as he stared at the computer screen in his lab. “Prima facie, these elements are all ones I’ve often been using for the three crafts I practic...
2025-02-17 23:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostLi Lang had been told it was a challenging task for cultivators to maintain control of Qi of different attributes at the same time. It was much easier to either focus on one attribute or none at all. Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators normally went with the former. That was because non-attributed Qi was the jack of all trades a...
2025-02-14 23:59:10 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Hey everyone, I have some bad news. Corpo Age will need to go on a one-week break because my backlog has just dried up, and I don't want to rush things, especially as the story nears the end. I'm super thankful for everyone's support so far and looking forward to ending things with a bang! Though I'll likely have several chapters for the 'epilogue', so that isn't entirely accurate, but I still hope you enjoy the ride!
Again, apologies for the delay, and thank you for your u...
Returning to their rooms, Li Lang spared no time and entered the Crucible. Their two-day tour of Sword Saint Isle was over, so he had to quickly get his students situated before they came out of the pocket realm.

Several tornadoes of fire circled one of the cultivators, desperately trying to fend off the spear-wielding opponent. It was apparent the fire wielder was at a disadvantage, as his opponent constantly managed to close the distance. He b...
2025-02-12 23:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostLi Lang fell silent as he pondered the relationship between the talent of cultivating multi-attributed techniques and spiritual roots. From what he learned, Foundation Establishment cultivators had an easier time absorbing and manipulating Qi of the same attribute as the cultivation technique they practiced. He theorized this was due t...
2025-02-11 23:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostWith no time for thought, I rolled away from the big red power armor, lunging at me to follow up on his attack.
I took a brief moment when I was rolling away to assess any damage. My power armor was sturdy, and I hadn’t felt that attack at all, but my active camouflage had been forcibly shut off.
Exiting my roll, I ...

Artifact creation was not easy. Even experienced artificers couldn’t create them on demand. It required skill, preparation, and most importantly, luck. That was due to the fact each beast core used in the process was unique.
