Author's note.
This chapter has magic in it. Unfortunately, I can't use the font for magic on this site. Therefore I've set up a ******* where you can download a PDF of this chapter for free. If you wish to read this chapter with the magical text I suggest you go to https://www.*******.com/drblackbooksstoriesandpoems?fan_landing=true 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Master signaled for us to stop. She focused on a cave a few feet up the mountain. Our mission was to go in, get the artifact, then get out. Simple enough… in theory, that is. Master signaled for me to go first. I quickly chanted a spell before disappearing into the shadows.

Out of all of the monster caves I have seen in my life, this one was definitely the worst. Animal corpse' were scattered throughout the cave. Rotting flesh and feces covering the ground, I was almost scared of being found just from the footprints I would inevitably leave.

"" I whispered, and a dark shadow stretched in front of me, clearing a path. I entered a passageway away from the rotting corpses; it was dark, which is good. My magic works best in the dark, but sadly I'm only human. "" I chanted, and the cave lit up as magic transferred to my eyes.

"Ssssss" I turned down a hallway at the same moment a monster turned the next corner. I decided to follow it. The snakehead looked very peculiar on the body of a human. The head bobbled back and forth as the monster clumsily made its way over to a giant door. It pushed the door open, and I crept up to it finding my way into a large chamber. The room was well lit, and I found it hard to hide in the shadows.

"Well, if it isn't my favorite child. How have patrols been?" A monster sitting on a throne spoke. I looked over him to find it. The artifact was sitting in his hand — an irregular orb with a dark red glow.

"Boring as always. Humans can't get here, and the scouts always find and kill them."

"They are rather weak, but if there is even a slight chance that Guardians still exist, we have to be cautious."

"Guardians can't still be around. The Red Eyed Sorcerer took them all out."

"Don't speak his name, fool! If he knew we had this orb, then he would not let a single one of us live."

"What's so important about that… CLANK!"

"What was that?"

"One of the lamps fell over on its own!"

No! Who was it, Marcia or Jonah?

"Show yourself!"

I crept through the shadows with speed while the monsters were distracted by the sound. I made my way behind the throne, and just as I was about to grab the orb, Marcia's spell came undone. The monsters quickly surrounded her, pushing her against a wall.

I grabbed the orb and placed it in a sack attached to my belt. "" I said as I walked away. The monsters turned to my direction right as a void formed in the middle of the room, sucking the monsters into it.

"THE ORB!" The monster yelled. The distraction allowed Marcia to slip past the monsters as they ran from the void in the room. She was able to redo her magic, once more disappearing.

"FIND THEM! FIND THE ORB! IF THE SORCERER FINDS IT HE'LL KILL US WITH IT!"

"" Master, Jonah, Marcia, I've got the orb. Get out of here. The spell reached my family, and we all ran for the exit.

While I ran to the exit, the monsters ran around frantically. I hope no one gets discovered. "SSSSSSSssss Sorry, don't hurt me!" A bone-chilling laugh reverberated through the cave.

"Sorry? Do you think that's enough? Where is the orb, little snake?"

"Hiss highnessss hassss it."

"Wrong!" CRACK!

I stepped back only to find myself running into something. "Well, where's the orb, you two?"

A young boy who is rejected by his village finds himself being taken into a loving home by two other orphaned children. Their caregiver "Master" raises them to learn how to be a Guardian and protect the world from monsters by using magic.

When Zhou Yingxue heard Ren Xiaosu address her as "auntie," she couldn't hold it in any longer. Thinking of how she was only 25 years old and still in her prime, how did she end up being called an auntie?
Of course, Ren Xiaosu did not really think that Zhou Yingxue was old. It was just that he had seen her outside before.
The people from the Intelligence Service who were watching Ren Xiaosu thought their tailing operation was flawless. They even believed that Ren Xiaosu was extremely stupid to not have noticed them.
But actually, Ren Xiaosu purely didn't care about them as he just wanted to heal from his injuries.
Besides, it would have been better if they had gotten some nanosoldiers to come and keep watch on him. Normal people were not able to arouse Ren Xiaosu's interest in the slightest.
However, Zhou Yingxue was not an average person either. She said with a smile, "At my age, it's more appropriate if you address me as big sister. Are you familiar with the library?"
"No." Ren Xiaosu shook his head.
Zhou Yingxue was stunned. He had been coming to the library every single day for almost half a month now, yet he was saying he was not familiar with it?
She continued with a smile, "I'm looking for a book titled The Theory of Time. Do you know where it is?"
Ren Xiaosu looked up at her. He had already given an attitude, trying to distance himself from her, yet she still persisted in striking up a conversation with him.
But at this moment, the voice from the palace said, "Quest: Help the knowledge seeker determine the correct location of the book."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. Why did this quest have to be assigned to him now of all times? Moreover, the quest even specifically stated it had to be the correct location, so he could not just point to a random spot. However, he really did not know where the book was.
He would have to do the quest no matter what. He looked at Zhou Yingxue and tried his luck by saying, "The Theory of Time must be in this library. Why don't you look for it yourself?"
Zhou Yingxue was taken aback by the answer. 'You might as well say that the book is inside Stronghold 88! Of course I know it's in this library!'
However, Ren Xiaosu didn't care about that. He thought that since the palace was just asking him to pinpoint the correct location, it wouldn't be wrong to say that the book was right here in the library, right?
The voice from the palace said, "Quest complete. Awarded Basic Skill Duplication Scroll."
Ren Xiaosu wanted to give his own ingenuity a thumbs up. There was probably no one else who could match him in terms of exploiting loopholes when it came to doing quests!
Seeing how awkward it was, An Yuqian quickly found the book titled The Theory of Time and handed it to Zhou Yingxue. Zhou Yingxue got very frustrated but could not vent.
At this moment, a group of people came into the library from outside. It was Wang Yuchi and the others.
When they came to the table where Ren Xiaosu was, they were a little taken aback when they saw Zhou Yingxue sitting there as well. They were used to sitting together at this table to study by themselves.
If Zhou Yingxue was seated here, they would have a stranger in between them. That would make it very awkward, and they would have to be very careful with their words.
They would often discuss some secretive topics during their conversations. After all, they knew too much, so they would unintentionally bring it up while talking.
Zhou Yingxue knew these people wanted to sit together with Ren Xiaosu, but she just pretended to focus on her book and sat there without any intention of excusing herself.
Someone wanted to ask Zhou Yingxue if she could change seats but was stopped by Wang Yuchi. "The library is a public place, so we have no reason to disturb others from reading where they want."
Ren Xiaosu gathered the books in front of him and said, "Let's switch tables."
The library was very large, and there were a lot of tables other than this one. As such, their entire group went to another table and left Zhou Yingxue there to continue reading by herself.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yingxue sat there for the rest of the entire afternoon reading The Theory of Time. She had to do so in order to portray that she was really here to read so as not to arouse Ren Xiaosu's suspicions. No one really knew whether she could even absorb what she was reading.
Zhou Yingxue was a little frustrated. She did not lack suitors! How could she not even have enticed the young man in front of her one bit?! Something must be wrong with him, right?!
After that day, Zhou Yingxue never appeared before Ren Xiaosu again. The frequency of him being watched also lessened. Sometimes, they would only keep watch on him once every few days.
Meanwhile, An Yuqian's lectures were starting to progress much quicker. He even sighed, saying how he had never thought it would be this easy to teach students. When he used to teach, he always felt the students were really stupid.
Ren Xiaosu realized An Yuqian could have been in research in the past. Later, he somehow became a librarian. When he had time, he thought that maybe he could ask Yang Xiaojin about it. She might just know something regarding this.
As they learned more, Wang Yuchi and the other male students would occasionally sketch the armor's blueprint from imagination during their breaks. Now that the delay in their control of the nanomachines had been reduced to less than 0.2 seconds, they would sometimes imagine how they would look with the armor on. It was really exciting just thinking about it.
After they sketched out the designs for the arms and hands, An Yuqian caught a glimpse and said with a laugh, "So you'd wanted to design something like that? Y'know, it's completely unachievable!"
Ren Xiaosu looked up at An Yuqian. "Why?"
An Yuqian replied, "A lot of people are looking to design 'mechanical armor' and think that these individual combat systems can play a significant role on the battlefield. However, there's too many challenges to overcome."
Ren Xiaosu asked with great interest, "What kinds of challenges?"
"First of all, you can't solve the issue of the propulsion system." An Yuqian sneered, "How could there be such a powerful and portable power source in this world? There's only one kind of power source like this, and it's achieved through controlled nuclear fusion!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. Yang Xiaojin was from the Saboteurs, an organization that hated nuclear technology the most. If he were to fit a controlled fusion reactor on his armor, wouldn't all of the Saboteurs come after him?
"Are there any other potential power sources?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
An Yuqian said firmly, "No! At least not within the limits of known technology! The raw materials for fusion are deuterium and tritium. If the technology is advanced enough, just deuterium alone can be used. An abundant amount of deuterium already exists in water. But the existing methods of controlled fusion, such as the 'tokamak,'[1] present a very difficult problem to solve. The question remains on how to shrink the size of the device so it can be fitted easily on a human body. The larger the visible radius of the device, the better the energy confinement!"
"It's not impossible if you want to shrink it, but it will be difficult." An Yuqian looked at Ren Xiaosu and the others with a smile. "It's just a dream for the several of you to achieve it."
Ren Xiaosu frowned. He had also been struggling with the power source for the nanomachines all this while. After all, if he only depended on his bioenergy to charge them, he would only be able to use it for two minutes with every two hours of charging. It would not be enough to sustain the nanomachines in a high-intensity battle.
"Are there any other challenges that can't be overcome?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
An Yuqian said, "How would you command the full body of armor to listen to your orders? How complicated a procedure would it take in order to—"
"That seems rather easy to solve," interrupted Ren Xiaosu.
An Yuqian was confused. 'What are you bragging for?!'
However, Ren Xiaosu did not intend to say any more than that. Be it the Yang Consortium or the Li Consortium, no one would possibly use the nanomachines as armor for now. That was mainly because it would be a little too extravagant to use them like that.

This is a brand new story.
Survive the darkness, see the light
There is no right or wrong, it just depends on which side you are standing on.
To be a god, or to be a man.
To be good, or to be evil.
Just what is...the highest order of weapon that humanity has?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a great catastrophe struck, the world was set back many years and humanity started living in anarchy.
With time, society started building up again and people were now living in walled strongholds and fringe towns across the land.
Humans have also become distrustful and ruthless in an unforgiving society where the strong survive and the weak are eliminated.
Growing up in such an era, Ren Xiaosu had to fend for himself.
After an incident, he gained supernatural powers...

Lu Zhou took half a day to organize the contents of the manuscript on A4 paper, inputted it into the computer, and completed the rest of the thesis. It took him two and a half days just to translate it into English. 
In total it took four days. Lu Zhou had finally turned the drawings in his head into a thesis and he even converted the thesis into PDF format. 
Next was thesis submission. 
Lu Zhou had thousands of choices and his final selection was the [Mathematics Chronicle] journal. 
The journal was published by Princeton University and was published in the journals of Johns Hopkins University Press in the 1990s. Mainly, it published theoretical mathematical research papers. It covered a wide range of topics and had a pivotal position in the academic circle. The impact factor was also quite large.
In fact, Lu Zhou originally had a better choice. For example, the [Journal of Number Theory], which specialized in the publication of number theory had a higher authority in the field of number theory. However, the impact factor was slightly lower and it also carried a charge for the processing of the thesis. 
"Americans are so stingy," said Lu Zhou as he shook his head and uploaded his thesis onto the website of [Mathematics Chronicle] before entering his email. 
He did not know if the system could make him cut in front of the thesis review line but he hoped that it would not delay his mission for too long. 
…
The mathematical modeling competition prize money was finally released and the total amount was 15,000 yuan. Of which, 10,000 yuan was given by the school directly to Lu Zhou and the other 5000 yuan was with Wang Xiaodong. 
Lu Zhou was surprised to hear that Lin Yuxiang gave up on the prize money. 
Even though Wang Xiaodong wanted to give her half of his money, she smiled and refused.
He did not know what the girl was thinking…
The first thing Lu Zhou did after the team was disbanded was to block her from his news feed. 
He had spent so much money on the artificial intelligence "Eye" that he was glad that finally got some money back. 
According to the agreement, he bought food for his three roommates. 
These three animals were not polite at all. The first thing they did was to ask for half a box of beer, a plate of grilled fish, and five side dishes. 
The food came and Shi Shang opened a bottle. He then took turns and filled the everyone's cups with beer. Finally, he took his cup and looked at Lu Zhou. 
"Zhou, you were a scrub at first, but now you're a god. You still remember this meal, which means you haven't forgotten us. I respect you."
"It's just a dinner. You guys have bought me food before, why are you being so cringy now," said Lu Zhou. He smiled and once he cheered Shi Shang, Lu Zhou drank the whole cup. 
Huang Guangming also raised his cup, "Zhou, I'll cheer you as well. No reason, I just want to be happy."
"No need, no need," said Lu Zhou as he raised his hands and cheered Huang Guangming. 
Liu Rui also raised his cup, "Congratulations…"
"Thank you!" said Lu Zhou said. 
Regardless of the complex meaning behind Liu Rui's "congratulations", everyone was roommates and brothers. 
Lu Zhou cheered Liu Rui and drank the whole cup. 
With beer running low and the dishes almost finished, Shi Shang sighed with a belly full of alcohol.
"Zhou."
"What's up?"
"I've recently been thinking of a problem."
"Ask away."
'What's it like being a genius student?" asked Shi Shang as he sighed. He stared at the bottles of beer and said, "Insanely high exam marks, guaranteed master's entrance, scholarships…"
Perhaps it was because Shi Shang read some books in the library or perhaps it was because of the alcohol but Shi Shang had been thinking about the philosophy of life. Huang Guangming always said that he would take him to psychological counseling, but he never went. 
Regardless, Shi Shang's question hit the spot. 
The two animals next to him pretended to eat but their ears were open wide. Especially Liu Rui. He even stopped moving his chopsticks as he waited for the genius' experience. 
Lu Zhou shook his empty cup and burped. 
He was slightly blushing because of alcohol. He coughed and slowly said, "… You think, being a genius is fun?"
"… I understand. You're actually not happy, right? Tired, right?" said Shi Shang as he sighed. 
"No," said Lu Zhou as he shook his head. He continued, "I meant that… Being a genius is great. You can't even imagine the joyfulness of being a genius." 
Shi Shang: ? ? ?
Huang Guangming: ? ? ?
Liu Rui: ? ? ?
…
By the time they went back to the dorm, it was already seven o'clock at night. 
Liu Rui was again carried back and he fell unconscious on the mat. Shi Shang's alcohol tolerance was quite good. Even though he drank six or seven bottles, when the class leader called him to play basketball, he went.
What a guy. How can you even play basketball after drinking so much?
Drunken basketball?
This time it was Huang Guangming that carried Liu Rui to the toilet. Lu Zhou climbed in bed, opened his laptop, and went on the [Mathematics Chronicle] website. 
Without any surprise, the status of his thesis had become [Under Review].
It seemed that his guess was correct.
Not just ordinary missions, but even with the reward missions as well, the system would help him save time. As for how the system did it… Lu Zhou decided not to bother it with that question.
It would only hurt his head!
When he logged onto his email, he saw that the authorization file had already been sent. 
Lu Zhou completed the authorization file as required before uploading it onto the website. 
Next was the long peer review. He had to wait for an academic editor to free up and verify his certification process. Unlike his previous papers, this paper involved a proof for an important conjecture, so it would take longer to review. 
Academic editors would be extra cautious in reviewing and would not miss any mistakes. It was because once a wrong proof theorem was published, it was not just a joke, but it would seriously damage the academic reputation of the journal. 
Of course, his thesis could be sent to a master of mathematics and that master could finish the review within a day. However, the probability of it happening was very low. 
Lu Zhou went back to his dorm and opened his laptop. He chatted with his artificial retardation bot Xiao Ai before he went to check the Campus Train bug reports. 
When Lu Zhou saw the stagnated user number, he did not anything. 
He ignored the messages that were asking for thesis help. As always, there were no error or bug reports.
Great.
I don't have to release an update.
Lu Zhou closed the developer website and logged onto the Academic Affairs Office website. He was about to look at his class timetable when a notice caught his attention. 
"A Twin prime conjecture lecture will be held at 9 am tomorrow…"
Lu Zhou saw the words of twin prime number and suddenly remembered his inspiration from when he was writing the thesis on Zhou's conjecture. 
He was so busy with the submission of the thesis that totally forgot about his accidental discovery.
Now that he thought about it, it was pretty interesting. 
"… I don't have class tomorrow morning anyway, maybe I should listen to this lecture. I'll get partial credit for it," thought Lu Zhou. To sign up, he entered his student number and password. 
"Speaker is Ren Changming… I think I've seen this name?" thought Lu Zhou as he stared at it for a long time but he could not remember. 
In a mathematics textbook?
Or I read it online?
Who cares. This doesn't matter.
Lu Zhou shook his head and threw a towel over his shoulder before picked up his basket of laundry and went to the bathroom. 


After suffering from a heat stroke while working under the scorching heat of summer, Lu Zhou, a hardworking but poor university student, somehow becomes the owner of an advanced technological system. With the cheat given by the system, his university life changes overnight. 
  
A Master's degree? Easy. 
  
PhD? Not a problem.   
  
From a nobody, he quickly becomes a huge celebrity in the world of science. With the missions given by the system, he is on his way to winning a Nobel Prize.   

"System, can points be exchanged for money?"
  
"No."
  
"F**k, what use are you then!?"
  
"This system will make you the ultimate scholar, the kind that lords over all of humanity. What use will money be to you?"

"Duke Chang Lin, some saintesses are being auctioned off on the Origin Beast Platform. Among them is a saintess from the Gentlewind planet, Li Feng, who is the descendant of a holy maiden."
    
In a duke's residence on a hospitable planet out in the cosmos, a servant was reporting to his superior and catering to his wishes.

"You mean that brawling platform?" Duke Chang Lin spoke poorly of it because, when he was young, he had been beaten until he knelt on the ground and admitted defeat. It became a stain on his life and a source of extreme shame and humiliation. That was why he hadn't logged on for the past few centuries.
    
The servant was unaware of these old affairs. Beaming with joy, he explained what was happening on a certain savage planet on the edge of the universe. Multiple divine sons and saintesses had been captured and were currently being auctioned off.

At first, Duke Chang Lin was quite irritated, but in the end, he calmed down and said, "That holy maiden once suppressed my ancestor. Now her descendant has become a prisoner, and what's more, she's the saintess of that orthodoxy. Oh, this is interesting. I'll bid!"
    
In another galaxy, there was an origin of life.
   
On this rich, powerful, and splendid planet was an evolutionary institute with a name that could shake the heavens—the Immemorial Temple!
    
It was one of the most famous institutes in the entire universe!
    
It was so famous because behind it were beings at the Heaven Illuminator's level of strength!
    
The Immemorial Temple was situated in an area of the starry seas. Many talents from the hospitable planets of nearby galaxies came here to further their studies. Even outstanding talents from holy lands and the dynasty of evolvers would come here for study and social interaction.
    
There was no lack of divine sons, saintesses, princes, and others of extraordinary origin who came here to research and study.  They were all beings of famous reputation on their respective planets.
    
Otherwise, they simply wouldn't qualify to enter and pursue studies at the Immemorial Temple.
    
Today there was quite a bit of unrest in this evolutionary institute with a famous reputation that spanned the cosmos. Many people were paying close attention to the Origin Beast Platform. 
    
Some students' eyes burned with admiration, envy, and hate. 
    
Other students were truly filled with great bitterness and deep hatred. They watched their photon computers carefully while grinding their teeth and clenching their fists tightly.
    
Among them was a quiet area of the Immemorial Temple. Here the rosy clouds were rising and the immortal qi was dense. The incomparably rich scent of divine medicine wafted about on the surface of the lake and in between the cliffs. 
    
This was a closed-off area that only the strongest students qualified to enter. Here, they sought enlightenment from the notes of the past experts and underwent evolution.
    
A group of students was waiting here for some important people to come out of isolated meditation. The people in isolation were all male and female disciples shrouded in divine rings. Of course, there were also a few exceptionally stunning students.
    
Finally, they waited until some people came out in succession. They came with great momentum—red clouds rushed to the sky in some areas while others were covered with vast purple clouds. In others, white mist rose in spirals amidst the calls of dragons and phoenixes between the immortal mountains.
 
"Dao children, goddesses, apprentices, you have finally come out from isolation. Something big has happened!"
   
Some people rushed to report to their superiors. The reason these people had come out from isolated meditation was that someone had rung the "Dao Bell", causing these people to awaken earlier and come out of this area.
   
"What is it?" A man concealed in a purple cloud that pervaded the air and covered mountainous area walked out. His purple hair danced in the breeze and his expression was like lightning, but his figure was a bit obscured as he stood in the mist.
    
"Senior Zi Xiao, your sister Saintess Zi Luan has been captured. Now…" The person reporting did not dare say anymore. 
  
"She is a most mischievous person and has never been willing to make an effort. What qualification does she have to be called saintess? I remember before I went into seclusion, she was making a racket within our clan. She wanted to go exploring some savage planet but was stopped by our family. Is she not at home? What trouble has she caused now? Who captured her?" asked Zi Xiao. He did not care much at all. With his family's strength and his own reputation, any normal person would certainly let her go after capturing her.
    
"She might… be auctioned off!" someone mustered up the courage to inform him.
    
"What!?" Zi Xiao was shocked and did not dare to believe his ears.
    
Before long, the group of dao sons and goddess-leveled people who had just come out from isolated meditation learned of the general situation. They quickly logged on to the Origin Beast Platform.
    
This kind of event was happening across multiple galaxies. Even people who originally didn't pay much attention were now being informed by people around them and rapidly logging in.
    
One could say that today, the Origin Beast Platform emerged the winner. Chu Feng auctioning off divine sons and saintesses couldn't compare to their earnings. There were countless active users, and the platform was incredibly lively.
   
"Ah, that's really my little sister! You thief, how dare you!" After Zi Xiao logged in, he couldn't bear it even with his level of self-restraint. He wanted to kill. His little sister was being auctioned off!
    
The most detestable part was how countless people were haggling over the price.
  
In a different starfield, Duke Chang Lin changed color as he said, "Oh, this Li Feng is indeed outstanding. Such a tall figure is a rarity. She really did inherit that holy maiden's genes; she looks just like her in her youth. I'll bid!"
    
In a secret area of Mount Tai.
    
Chu Feng's complexion was quite rosy, and his original appearance had come out. After eating the pangolin saint child, he had enriched his vitality, and he supplemented his life force. This made him no longer as weak.
    
However, right now, his mouth and tongue were dry. No matter how he marketed the divine sons and saintesses, nobody traded with secret books at the level of the World's End Near at Hand.
    
On the Origin Beast Platform, a group of slick customers was calling out for him to lower the price, saying that his quite was unreasonable.
    
"Brother, you're too ruthless! The thing you want can be passed on as a secret canon of an orthodoxy. Forget about the World's End Near at Hand, now you still want an exceptional combat technique. This is an unequal trade! There's no way to reach a deal!"
    
A section of the World's End Near at Hand, known as one of the unique writings of the speed field and incited quite the ruckus. Fortunately, this was only one book. Even if it created an extreme controversy, it was unlikely to turn the heavens upside down.
    
But now while Chu Feng was selling Li Feng and Zi Luan, he unexpectedly wanted an exceptional combat technique. Who would agree?
    
These exceptional volumes could be discovered but not sought, and that was to say nothing of the secret skills in the field of combat. They were even more valuable; after all, evolvers' powers were supported by these methods, were they not? 
   
"Ruined pages will work too!" Chu Feng settled for the next best thing.
   
"There are none, brother. If this kind of method were to be spread it would lead to the extermination of a person's entire family. Which exceptional expert would bear to leak their own secret method?"

"Brother Chu Feng, if you do manage to get a book of World's End Near at Hand, you must quickly go to burn incense. This kind of series of secrets is an absolute good fortune. However, there are numerous variables in a day without a turnover. You won't necessarily be able to get it."
    
Chu Feng's expression was fluctuating wildly. Naturally, he knew that there were no fools under the proverbial lion's open mouth. Nobody would be willing to pay too high of a cost.
    
He was only trying just in case there happened to be an old codger with a young heart who was willing to bid on divine sons and saintesses and "keep up appearances."
    
Unfortunately, he was very disappointed."
   
"How about this: this time I'll sell them as a bundle. It's not just one saintess, now I'll sell Li Feng and Zi Luan together. Whoever has first-rate combat techniques can exchange one secret book for two saintesses from high-level planets!"
    
Chu Feng clenched his teeth. Using his own words, this was a gift that would make him cough up blood. Now he was selling two for one.
    
Off to the side, Saintess Zi Luan felt incredibly wronged. This proud woman was now both angry and scared. However, she didn't dare resist or say anything out of fear that Chu Feng would eat her.
    
Li Feng's chest was also moving up and down as her breathing became increasingly urgent. She wanted to fight for her life, but she also didn't want to die. The people who had fought fiercely against Chu Feng just now had become skeletons after having been barbequed and eaten.

"Little brother, these exceptional volumes are all passed down within orthodoxies and all of them have great origins. Under most circumstances, they're very difficult to trade." At this time, Duke Chang Lin spoke, wanting to attack. He continued, "However, there are other methods. Among them is a theory that states carefully selecting the one that suits you is the strongest and will encourage you to create a method for yourself. Yes, here I have such an ancient evolutionary theory book. This has already become a school of thought. As long as you have a decent breathing technique, you can actually create and evolve your own formidable combat techniques. You can add on, create more, and perfect them. This ought to be quite good."
    
Chu Feng's heart stirred when he heard these words. He had grasped an ultimate breathing technique. Perhaps he could evolve a world-shaking technique in the field of combat!

However, he did not dare expose a change of countenance. Instead, he said, "Well then, sir, could you please sell me a first-rate breathing technique?"
    
Duke Chang Lin opened and closed his mouth, at a loss as to how to communicate.
    
The others on the Origin Beast Platform were also speechless. What was a breathing technique? Once you grasped it, you could have everything in the end!
    
This kind of ancient book was more valuable than anything. It was the foundation for a teaching!
    
The reason why the top ten planets could continue to exist throughout time and continue to stand was because of their breathing techniques. Those were supreme inherited scriptures.
    
In many people's eyes, Chu Feng was a native of a savage planet and wasn't an expert in anything. He didn't understand this kind of general knowledge. Who would sell a breathing technique? That was the equivalent of selling the foundation of an orthodoxy! 
   
Chu Feng said, "Since it's like this, then why don't you trade that kind of ancient theory book you mentioned, sir? I'll see if I can walk this path of creation. However, I certainly can't trade two saintesses for it. One will suffice."
    
"I also have that kind of ancient book! My grandfather's younger brother once thoroughly researched this school's theory!" Someone made a bid via a secret transmission.
  
"I have personally written notes of a person famous for this kind of theory, and I have many ancient books. However, you'll need to trade two saintesses, my young friend. One isn't enough."
    
Chu Feng let out a silent curse upon hearing this. How could all of the bidders be old men? Also, they were all very greedy.
  
He shook his head and said, "I'll only trade two saintesses for an Exceptional Technique of the combat field or a first-rate breathing technique."
    
At the Immemorial Temple, the group of young dao children and goddesses who had just emerged from solitary meditation looked like they had just seen a ghost.
    
As for Zi Xiao, he was furious. With a swat of his palm, the lake beside him evaporated. From head to toe purple clouds raged toward the heavens. Someone dared to auction off his little sister!
    
What's more, the circumstances were so desperate!
    
"I must save little sister Zi Luan. How could a person as youthful and pleasant as her be profaned like this!? Everyone who's willing to go kill the demon, let's leave together and set foot on that savage planet!
    
Many people yelled not only because they couldn't stand Zi Luan falling into the hands of a demon, but also because they were friendly towards Zi Xiao.
    
However, something even more shocking happened that left people stupefied. 
    
Chu Feng made the two saintesses display their talents. It was all to increase the bidding price and trade for rare secret books.
    
He stared at Li Feng. This was truly a supermodel saintess. Her figure was incredible.
    
Now Li Feng was resentful. This demon king had unexpectedly forced her to dance in order to give prominence to her tall and thin figure.
   
"As for you, the one called Zi Luan, your true form is a fearsome bird, so why don't you sing us a song? Yeah, sing "I'm a Little Bird" for me."
    
Upon hearing this, Zi Luan immediately felt so angry she could curse. Although she hadn't put much heart into her cultivation, as the direct descendant of this race she still held a high position because her older brother was a talented genius.

"You dare not to sing?" Chu Feng cast a sidelong glance at her.
    
The fine hairs on Zi Luan's body stood up. This was because she couldn't forget that Zhu Wuque had been slapped to death for not singing that song "Conquest". 
    
The person before her eyes was too savage—she thought of the miserable condition of the Yin Sparrow race's saint child and trembled on the spot. She put on a bold face and prepared to sing.
    
If Chu Feng knew what she was thinking, he would certainly curse. To hell with 'Conquest'! That was killing someone to silence them. Even if Zhu Wuque wanted to sing it would be out of the question. He couldn't let him sing!
   
"I'm a little, little bird. I want to fly, but no matter how hard I try I can't fly high…" Zi Luan sang with a suave and melodious voice that was quite dreamy. It was so pleasant to hear that it exceeded expectations.
    
However, she felt incomparably wronged and was unable to be proud any longer. She also didn't dare taunt Chu Feng and call him a savage native anymore. She could only unwillingly sing the opera.
    
The results were surprisingly good, and the bidding price shot up rapidly! 
    
At the Immemorial Temple, Zi Xiao was seething in anger. This was truly… absurd!






To rise from defeat; to revive amidst the dissipation. 
As the vast oceans turn to dust and the thunder and lightning fade away,
That strand of spiritual mist once again approaches our great world. 
With the shackles that bound our world now severed—
A whole new world of mystery and wonder awaits, 
As we turn the corner...

The Sacred Ruins
Is a story set in a post-apocalyptic world. A world that has recovered to a state that is roughly equal to our own world in terms of technology and culture, although its ancient history remains largely unknown. The story begins during the post-graduation trip of our protagonist, where he discovers some ancient ruins and witnesses “the great change”, an upheaval that changed everything. The changing earth not only brought about new, unexplored landscape but also sparked the evolution of all organisms. Plants and animals started gaining sentience and some humans obtained unimaginable powers. The legends, myths, and tales of old seemed to have suddenly come to life as the earth entered a new era where beasts and men formed factions, explored new lands and ultimately struggled for supremacy.
We follow the MC as he grows from being an eccentric young man into a badass expert warrior while meeting other funny characters and forming brotherly bonds. We watch as he falls into just as much hilarious situations as he does perilous ones, all the while wondering and slowly discovering the mysteries of this world. Just why was the world destroyed in the first place? Who or what had triggered this earth-shattering “change”? What profundities lie behind the process of evolution?

My brother in shorts accompanied by the unlikely duo and myself have left the big rock since more than 2 hours.

On this dirt road with no bends, the questions that come to my mind are many, but the one that burns my lips has remained the same for more than 50 minutes.

"I was wondering. This must be Master Kaio's planet here, right? However, if my theory is correct, where is the stupid monkey?"

My brother in shorts, open his mouth, then he closes it again. He walks up to the beautiful brunette woman, then whispers a few words to her.

"Miss Tessa, I'm very concerned about the Princess' mental health?"

The beautiful woman shakes her head. She looks at me for a few moments with pity in her eyes, before she replies to my brother in shorts who, like me, can't seem to stand the smell of the troll.

"I don't know, she says a lot of things that don't make any sense. Based on my knowledge of magic, I fear she may have undergone a lobotomy in that other world."

Dickheads, for your information, I'm less than 5ft away from you. As I contemplate the possibility to have undergone a lobotomy, my courage is waning.

Suddenly, my depression evaporates and I gaze at my adorable face in the little mirror Tessa lent me.

"Bernica, miserable little fairy, you neglected to mention how long it would take for me to reach the royal castle where my dearest mother awaits me. "

Um, it seems that my recurring personality change is somewhat disturbing to these three plebeians.

"Your highness, there is a misunderstanding. The queen would really have liked to see you again, however, unfortunately, it would have exhausted her to take care of a teenage girl. Oh, rest assured. She has granted you a small fiefdom that will fill you with joy."

What a disgrace, this woman discards her own daughter as soon as her returns to her own contry. It's not so dramatic. In fact, maybe owning my own land will even be a lot of fun.

"Bernica, may I know the reason why my esteemed self was exiled to another world? Was I the victim of a horrible conspiracy fomented by naughty people, by scoundrels jealous of my beauty?"

A flash of lightning bolts goes through my brain. My brother in shorts seems to be talking to me, but I have other concerns.

I quickly get down my shorts that my other personality has pulled up to my buttocks. I pull up my pink tee-shirt that exposed half of my huge breasts and to avoid letting this unpleasant girl take control of my brain, I immerse myself in the cheat codes of Tomb Raider.

The smelly troll, whose heavy footsteps raise dust as he moves forward, is suspiciously watching me. The giant scratches his head, then unable to keep quiet any longer, he risks an oral 1VS1.

"Princess, do you have cramps, if not, why are your fingers wiggling in the air?"

Damn, I'm doing air-keyboard. The lack of a laptop is already manifesting itself. The sweat that's been running down my forehead for some time and the slight spasms I've been feeling all over my body was the reason.

It's not the first time I've had this kind of seizure. As early as Middle School, I used to escape from my classroom and rush into the computer room.

Those school years weren't easy. At the age when other boys usually spend their time discovering girls, at drool over Youporn with a leaf paper towel in hand and playing with their colossus, I took pleasure in caressing the monitor of my over-boosted computer.

High School was simpler. The school administration being aware of my geek-gamer-addict pathology, I was allowed to carry in my bag a laptot on which I could tap in case of crisis.

"Brother in shorts, we need to take a break so that I can get my medication."

My shorts brother's face turned white. His concern for me is anything but fake.

"Of course, Your Highness, it will be done as you wish."

Those words are barely spoken, that I throw myself to the side and pull my smartphone out of my pocket. Fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, iris recognition, code: 2645, sms, more faster, tap.

Although the digital screen doesn't allow me to relieve myself as quickly as the audible keys that sink under my fingers, little by little, I feel my crisis slipping away.

It's getting better. Yeah, it's getting better, but after frantically tapping for more than 4 hours, I'm completely exhausted.

My breathing is jerky, my heart beats too fast, so to calm myself down, I lie down in the tall grass that tickles my ears. It's really unpleasant, but let's take advantage of this moment to take stock of the few pieces of information already downloaded in my brain.

I was born under the name of Pernisia exactly 18 years ago in the realm of forward-looking fairies, also called the Madokas.

With the Kingdom of Humans in the center, the enormous Kingdom of Ocelia which regroups many races in the North, the small Kingdom of puffy dwarves in the North-West, the Kingdom of Demons in the East and the Kingdom of Beastmen in the West, this Kingdom located in the South, would be one of the 5 Kingdoms which would constitute the northern territories of a continent named, Fraya.

According to my brother in shorts, it's a world of retards. At least, that is the conclusion I came to after listening to him talk to me about this continent.

Some of the beings who live in these lands are able to use magic, others are extremely powerful, (like a Toriko on steroids), but the engineers of these countries would be donkeys unable to design a good video game.

Seeing my disappointed look, my brother in shorts wanted to reassure me by praising the progress of technology. He told me about the books that could now be accessible to the greatest number of people.

Of course, I asked him about the available formats. PDF, ePUB, eBOOK, AZW, TXT...

I was very excited by his statement but when I was already contemplating the rapid progress of the engineers of this world, this false brother shattered all my hopes by proudly presenting me with something ugly made of goatskin.

"Go die, winged thing from the middle ages."

Lying in the tall grass, when I think back on my collection of Gundam that proudly trrones above my bedroom door, a tear runs down my cheek.

Yes, my body is certainly in this world where a multitude of exotic beings cohabit more or less in harmony, but my heart is always nearby my life-size Rem figurine.

"Brother in shorts, as a Princess, I demand a tomboy maid with big tits."

He's a failed school psychologist, she's a particularly strange student. 
He's moping about his past, she's living in a fantasy world. 
He's consumed with regret, the joy of life emanates from her.

When after a consultation he opens the door of his grey-walled office, she plunges him into her fantastic world.

The translation was simply too suspicious. Many were at a loss for words…
What did it mean by "Space Recycling, Recycling all types of technologies and biomass?" This was like an advertisement for a recycling company…
There were plenty of blank expressions in the room, befuddled by this message that was seriously inconspicuous. After who knew how long, Wa Luo suddenly said, "What the f*ck?! The signal is from a garbage man?"
The shock was warranted. The alien civilization that could space warp was a waste picker…? This was too suspicious.
Someone asked, "Could the message have been mistranslated? After all, there must be plenty of linguistic differences between our language and theirs."
These words were echoed by many. After all, the idea that such a powerful civilization was a waste picker didn’t sit well with many. Many even tossed it out as nonsense.
Bo Li gave the screen a closer look and concluded, "No, the translation is correct. This signal is part of the junkyard civilization’s database, and the signal's origin is someone they had made contact with before. I remember now, this signal belongs to the merchant civilization that they traded their two cosmic adaptors with!"
Merchant civilization?
The Hope, or more specifically, the human race within the Hope, hadn’t really had actual contact with other alien civilizations. However, they did know of their existence through other means.
The first was, of course, the junkyard civilization that contributed greatly to mankind’s current technological level. The second was the merchant civilization that traded with the junkyard civilization. The third was the liquid robot civilization that demolished the junkyard civilization. These were the three first alien civilizations humanity encountered.
Technically speaking, the mother nest alien and the aquatic civilizations consumed by the mother nest alien were alien civilizations known to mankind as well.
The above were the alien civilizations mankind had some knowledge about. Of course, the wide cosmos was home to more civilizations than these, each with their own uniqueness and technological levels.
When Bo Li mentioned the merchant civilization, everyone thought back to the information they received from the junkyard civilization on this merchant civilization.
The incomplete information taken from the junkyard civilization stated that the merchant civilization wasn’t exactly a race but a space conglomerate made up of several alien races. Its technological prowess was between the peak of the 4th revolution and the early 5th revolution. The conglomerate had perhaps more than a thousand individual ships across the cosmos.
They were the middle man between many civilizations, trading technologies, materials, and biomass. The merchants slowly picked up pieces of information and improved themselves from the technologies that passed through their doors.
They were a unique space civilization.
In comparison to the many space civilizations, the space merchants were one of the rare ‘peaceful’ civilizations. At least they didn’t present themselves as predators. Even when treating civilizations way below their level, they presented themselves as traders or merchants. They were in popular demand for many civilizations that had just entered space, or level 2 civilizations. This was because they could get the important star navigation maps or valuable 5th revolution technology from the merchants. These were essential to the survival of level 2 civilizations.
When the identity of the signal's origin revealed itself, another set of questions appeared. The main one being: should they warp immediately to avoid the merchants?
The argument for immediate warp was because mankind had no idea who the signal's origin was. Yao Yuan decided to warp in case the alien civilization posed an insurmountable threat to the Hope.
However, now that they knew about their identity and modus operandi, the thought process would be different.
Yao Yuan’s mind started spinning in overdrive. First, humanity couldn’t avoid contact with other space civilizations forever.
Before this, he had discussed the theory of Black Forest [1] with a group of scientists, and the Academy had vetoed the theory directly. According to the scientists, the first rule of the Black Forest Theory, which said that light speed was a barrier that couldn’t be broken, was already wrong. The highest travelling speed in space was light speed. However, technology like warp drive, wormhole, and star gate completely undermined the Black Forest Theory. Since the first rule was wrong, the other rules were questionable as well.
This meant that communication between space civilizations was entirely possible. Of course, while symbiotic relationships weren’t a given, it also didn’t meant that every space civilization must necessarily be out to harm each other.
In other words, for humanity to really be a part of the cosmic society, communication with other space civilizations was inevitable.
Therefore, if the signal's origin was really the space merchants, then it didn’t seem it was necessary for humanity to warp. After all, compared to other unknown space civilizations, having the space merchants as mankind’s first contact with space civilization might be a good thing. At least they could exchange information or even obtain 5th revolution technology like the warp drive from the merchants!
The Hope’s space warp technology, while high up there, was highly unpredictable. The warp exit was a random toss of the dice. To get stuck within the new planet was nothing; what if the Hope suddenly warped into the sun, near a neutron star, or a bottomless black hole? The result would be the extinction of humanity within the blink of an eye.
Not only that, the Hope would always warp out at a location several light-years away from a solar system. The distance of half a light-year was already a despair-worthy distance for humanity, much less several light-years. Therefore, more often than not, mankind had to abandon the possibility of discovering a new home planet. However, with the access to the warp drive technology, wouldn’t that issue be solved? The discovered planets might not be naturally suitable for human habitation, but with humanity’s current technology, they could terraform the planet easily!
Therefore, warp drive was a super valuable technology to have…
Weighing all the pros and cons, contact with the space merchants seemed to be more beneficial than not…
Of course, since the lives of the whole of mankind hinged on this decision, Yao Yuan had to be extremely cautious about it. Even if he had made the decision in his mind, he still needed to consult it with Xiao Niao and Ren… Where was Ren Tao?
Yao Yuan looked around curiously, but he failed to spot Ren Tao. This made him scratch his head. Wasn’t Ren Tao in the room minutes ago? Did he leave without them noticing?
Finally, it was eagle-eyed Ying who spotted him. He found Ren Tao spacing out on top of a 10-meter-tall device. Ying had someone fetch him down, but the question of how he even got up there in the first place was one that no one could answer…
When Yao Yuan sought their opinions, the two of them gave differing answers. Xiao Niao agreed with Yao Yuan. "I believe it is fine for us to stay. Just like you said, instead of placing our bet on a future unknown civilization, why not have our first space civilization contact be with the space merchants? The one thing we’re lacking the most right now is information, information on other space civilizations, like how many are there, what are their customs during communication, the technology variance, and the likes. Valuable information like this we can procure from the space merchants. Furthermore, they’re willing to take anything for trade, right? We have some valuable minerals that we can trade for the information."
Ren Tao’s answer was different. He said, "I think the key to staying or not depends on whether the space merchants have had contact with us humans before or not…"
While others were confused by his observations, Yao Yuan responded directly, "Of course they couldn’t have gained contact with us before; this is our first time being so physically close to them."
Ren Tao shook his head. "Have you forgotten about the humans that left Earth before us? Their technology couldn’t be better than ours since it is statistically impossible for them to stumble into a junkyard civilization that they could siphon technology from. If they ran into the space merchants, I don’t think it would end up well for them. After all, all the civilizations that ventured into space were level 2 civilizations. The government officials’ spaceship technology was only level 1. Do you think the space merchants would trade with them, or capture them to analyze the technology that allowed them to venture into space in the first place?
"They would find out the number of disproportionate cosmic adaptors within humanity. Wasn’t it stated before that their most valuable commodities were cosmic adaptors…
"What do you think will happen when they run into us, level 2 civilization human beings?"


Endless sky and infinite space, the cosmos isn’t some paradise waiting to be found, it is full of darkness and danger, death and terror of the great unknown. However, for that glittering swath of blue, we have no fear! For the longevity of men, we have no regrets! Nothing shall stand in our way because it is finally our time, our age! The age of cosmos exploration! 


The four spirit techniques Fraser bought were the basic beast spirit technique, the basic telekinesis spirit technique, the basic common use of spirit technique and the increase particles spirit technique

As Fraser traded for a baby bat, he naturally started with the basic beast spirit technique which would allow him to tame and control an animal. 

Though there were a few conditions in order to be able to use it on animals. First and foremost the targeted animal should have a way less intelligence and spirit than the caster, or else the spirit technique would backlash and thus injure or even kill the caster. 

Secondly, the physical attributes shouldn't differ that much as apparently the physical strength of the animal would also defend the invading spirit of the caster. 

These two conditions were the only conditions for the spirit technique which made its uses limited but also broad. 

As the essence of the basic beast spirit technique consisted of forming your own spirit mark into the spirit of the animal and thus controlling its life. 

You didn't need to separate your spirit as the spirit mark would leech of the spirit of the targeted beasts, thus sustaining the connection and allowing transfer of emotions and a few impressions of the animal senses towards the caster. 

With ease, Fraser formed a spirit mark accordingly to the spirit technique and slowly guided the finished spirit mark into the baby bat who only adorably squicked. 

The spirit mark didn't look complicated, instead, it was only a small spirit blob which Fraser formed. 

To be honest the basic beast spirit technique didn't have anything complicated in it. The only thing it explained was the theory on how to allow your spirit blob leech of the spirit of the animals to sustain itself as well as on how to control and use the animal implanted by the spirit technique. 

There was nothing fancy with the technique, it seemed too easy. Just form a blob of spirit and allow it to leech of the spirit of the animal to sustain itself. 

Fraser could even see how the spirit blob entered the baby bat and easily secured a good spot directly next to the baby bats spirit blob. 

'With all these techniques and my knowledge, spirit more and more resembles the soul. At least that is my theory about the so-called spirit.' 

For a quick moment, Fraser regained his thoughts before continuing to watch on how his spirit blob reacted with the spirit blob of the baby bat. 

'I never ever watched another spirit blob. It seems almost unreal. I can even feel how the basic beast spirit technique drains the spirit out of the animal in order to sustain itself.' 

Fraser continued to watch how the mark drained the spirit of the baby bat in a slow manner. 

'If there exists a quick way of draining I could easily use my dark ropes as draining medium. However, there exists a lot of possibilities and I don't have to hurry up. My progression is steady and it shouldn't be rushed.' 

After Fraser learned the basic beast spirit technique within moments he didn't even deem the other spirit techniques as something special anymore. 

And indeed. The other spirit techniques weren't that special. The basic telekinesis spirit technique which sounded like a powerful and mighty spirit technique only explained how to move physical objects with only using spirit. 

It was interesting to see how Fraser was able to manipulate spirit outside of the spirit room and how it affected reality. 

But for Fraser's taste it took too much spirit and it didn't have an efficient spirit-power correlation. 

Even if Fraser didn't saw the basic telekinesis spirit technique as something useful, Fraser still learned it in order to have more cards in his sleeve. 

Since who knows? Maybe this basic telekinesis spirit technique will be useful in some kind of way. 

The basic common use of spirit technique was something that interested Fraser for quite a while. 

The spirit technique had no active part of it, instead, everything was theory and how the spirit could be manipulated and shaped. 

It even had basic stuff like how to use your spirit with more efficient and on how to read and react according to spirit marks or spirit related objects. 

Though most contents talked about theory and how to spirits who met each other would react. 

With surprise two spirits couldn't really fight each other without any techniques, neither could they defend naturally if the other spirit had an offensive technique or attack. 

The spirit technique book, which Fraser now doubted as theory book of spirit techniques, described the meetings of two spirits as if two people could see each other but couldn't attack each other. 

They were able to communicate and see how strong the spirit was, but the stronger spirit couldn't attack the weaker spirit without a technique. 

The book again showed an image of two people standing a certain distance away. Both were able to talk and shout while seeing on how strong the other person was, but as they couldn't move or run attack of defense was not possible. 

Though there were exceptions which the spirit book described the spirit as having a bow and arrow for an attack or a shield in order to defend itself. 

Naturally, the basic common spirit technique suggested that a defensive spirit technique should be prioritized or else the spirit would get damaged, regardless whether the spirit attack was weak or not. 

Deciding to buy a defensive spirit technique as soon as possible Fraser grabbed the last spirit technique, the increase particles spirit technique. 

And again Fraser was pleasingly surprised. The spirit technique would allow his spell model dark rope to gather almost immediately. It would also allow him to gather the particles in the air in a quick manner as the spirit technique described a certain pattern in which the spirit should move in order to attract more particles. 

It seemed a little bit silly to Fraser to move the spirit in order to gather more particles as the spirit only needed to shake in a certain rhythm. However, it worked and Fraser was able to form two dark ropes in an instant. 

As Fraser finished learning his four spirit techniques he was a little bit disappointed. Most of them were easy and quick to learn. 

He should have bought more spirit techniques as they seemed to have a lot to do with the basic controlling of the spirit. 

Shaking his head Fraser thought. 

'I will return to the Howling Abyss Academy within two and a half years. I should use the time in order to gather rare materials from the howling abyss. I could even trade most of the potions for materials as I would receive more materials if I trade and buy with magic crystals. Besides, there are many interesting things at the howling abyss which I can obviously research.' 

At the last part of his thoughts, Fraser turned towards the pile of animal corpses and interesting things the traded with the senior apprentices of the inner circle. 

'It is time to experiment.' thought Fraser while rubbing his hands together. 

He didn't know why he did that, but it felt appropriate for the situation.

Someone transmigrated into the body of a noble that was on his way to become a Magi. His only keepsake, an AI-Chip that had the ability to calculate and store information. Thus, follow the journey of Fraser Rosethorn.

"I am a somebody with a name that shall be part of your world and with my written words I will feed your imagination and thus enrichen your life" ~ Quote by UniqueBooks

After one hundred years of training, Lorne, Tower, and Paneneko didn't only become Master Tradesmen. In addition to mastering the Path of Trade, their cultivation also rose. Tower's cultivation rose to Master Realm Initial Level, Lorne rose to Master Realm Middle Level, and Paneneko rose to Master Realm Middle Level. It seemed that Paneneko's talent was extremely high. 

Lorne's cultivation rose quickly due to his perfected body, but Paneneko's cultivation wasn't too far behind. When they first came to the sect over one hundred and thirty years ago, Paneneko was already at Master Student Realm Middle Level, and Lorne, before he awoke and changed bodies, was at Master Student Realm Initial Level, whereas Tower was at Senior Student Realm Perfect Level. Lorne was able to catch up to Paneneko with his perfected body and memories, however, Paneneko was able to arrive at the same cultivation realm and level as Lorne. This was an incredible feat. 

Master Que was extremely pleased with the results as were the other masters. They decided they would like to implement a similar training regiment for all of the students in the sect. They saw a great opportunity to increase the overall strength of the sect by quickly elevating the strength of the students. Even the five immortal Masters who were involved in the training process of the three students over the last one hundred years benefitted. They felt their own foundations were firmer and even though their cultivation didn't increase, their overall strength did. From this, it was decided even the masters and elders of the sect would undergo the Three-Five Paths training. Remember, so far, only one path was completed and the results spoke for themselves. 

The three men were no longer students, they graduated to the level of Master. They were in the last realm of the Mortal Realm. Once they completed their cultivation of the Master Realm, they would become immortals entering True Core Cultivation. 

It was now a very busy time in the sect. Master Que decided it was time to recall all the students of the sect back and enter a sect wide closed door cultivation period. There was no time period put on the sect's closed-door cultivation. Master Que decided it would come to an end once seventy percent of the students were able to Master the Path of Trade.  

It is true, in the past it was insane to attempt mastering the Path of Trade for average cultivators, however, now the path was blazed by Lorne, Tower, and Paneneko. The way to proceed was clear, therefore, it was not only possible but likely the sect could attain Master Que's goal. 

It was decided Lorne, Tower, and Paneneko would each oversee their field of expertise. Lorne would teach formations, Tower would teach forging, and Paneneko would teach making pills. Medicine and Music would be shared among the three as fields of study. Masters Que, Bilvo, Perachia, Macey, Neville, and B'wiri would similarly teach the masters and elders of the sect. Master Que would teach Medicine, Master Bilvo would teach formations, Master Perachia would teach forging, Master Macey would teach pill making, and Master Neville would teach Music. B'wiri, who trained along with the three young men also completed the Path of Trade would help Masters Que, Bilvo, Perachia, Macey, and Neville complete their own Path of Trade.  

In addition to teaching, Lorne, Tower, Paneneko, and B'wiri began the path of knowledge under the guidance of BS42. Modern subjects of Math, Science, and Law were being taught as subjects at the Technology Center for members of the nobility. There were plans for general education to spread throughout the world, but there was a lot of cultures to overcome before that was possible. 

It wasn't the basic levels of Math, Science, Law, History, and Geography which were being taught to Lorne and friends. They would learn every subject to the highest degree. Genetics, robotics, Peranian physics, Field Coherent Multiversal Mathematics, all of it. An average person would never be able to Master the Path of Knowledge, but as a person's cultivation rose so did their intelligence. Their brains underwent fundamental changes bringing them closer and closer to Edenic levels. 

Edenic levels referred to the level of intelligence that existed at the peak of humanity in each multiverse. In the area of biology, there was a theory of Evolutionary Hilleys. This theory stated organisms, through an evolutionary process dependent on their particular multiverse, would reach a perfect state of the organism under certain conditions. Given other conditions, those perfected organisms would 'de-evolve' to less perfect forms. These Hills and Valleys of evolution were either the result of a natural or supernatural phenomenon. 

Organisms, such as humans, blessed with intelligence could alter, speed up, or slow down their own evolution or de-evolution. This required a level the organisms possessed a certain level of science and technology. 

The perfected state of being of organisms was referred to as Edenic referring to the last known time intelligent organisms possessed a perfect state of being in the garden of Eden. In many universes, a Garden of Eden existed and the primordial perfected ancestors would sin and through the direct action of God lose their perfected states. It was Bavelian Intentionality that pursued the formally attained perfected state of being. 

After fifty years of training, Masters Que, Bilvo, Perachia, Macey, and Neville were able to complete the Path of Trade and began the Path of Knowledge. Tower was about halfway done with the Path of Knowledge, Paneneko was about seventy percent completed, and Lorne was about eighty percent completed. For Lorne, who was an academic when he lived on Earth, and familiar with the advanced science and technology of the Dragon Empire, the theories, laws, mathematics, and other concepts were very easy. Paneneko was just freakishly smart, while Tower was moving forward at a slightly slower than average pace. B'wiri was at about sixty percent completion of the Path of Knowledge. 

After another thirty years, a few masters and students completed the Path of Trade and began their studies on the Path of Knowledge. Twenty years later, the majority of the sect completed the Path of Trade and began the Path of Knowledge. The remaining masters and teachers still struggling in the Path of Trade were known to be dense. Both Lorne and Paneneko completed the Path of Knowledge and began the Path of the Soul. 

The Path of the Soul was the hardest path since Master River was no longer available for guidance. BS42 did his best to guide everyone down this path, but Lorne was a knowledgeable as he was. It became the less blind leading the blind. 

Twelve years after Lorne finished the path of knowledge, Master Que received a message from his master. He was informed that the great ancestor was aware of what the Water Rock sect was attempting and he approved. As a reward for their forward thinking, the Great Ancestor was sending something to help complete the Path of the Soul.  A few days later the package arrived. 

The instructions commanded Master Que to have the package opened privately by BS42 and no one else. BS42 was asked to come to Master Que's residence. Leaving BS42 with the package in his private study chambers, Master Que retreated to the garden to await news of what was in the package. Master Que could hardly believe the good news they received. They were given direct help from the Great Ancestor! These three boys were definitely his lucky charm. 

After about an hour, BS42 came to the back garden with a bizarre look on his face. It was hard to tell because of BS42's robotic features, but if he had to guess he would say BS42 was stunned to his core. Did the Great Ancestor send something so shocking? Master Que could barely contain himself. 

"Well, what was it?" Master Que asked BS42.

"How unexpected, how extraordinary!" BS42 said to himself.

"What is it, what did he send?" asked Master Que again. 

BS42 came out of his stupor and looked at Master Que. 

"Master Que, have you ever met the Great Ancestor?" asked BS42.

"Me?! Of course not! If only I could. I have heard of the wonders of the Great Ancestor since I was a child. I've yearned to meet him, but I've never been worthy enough. Why do you ask?" asked Master Que.

"Nothing, it's not important." BS42 sighed deeply before focusing on the matter at hand. 

"The Great Ancestor has sent us everything we need to complete the Path of the Soul. I will need some time to review the materials myself. In three years we will begin the Path of the Soul. Tell Lorne and those waiting to just help everyone else progress. Get as many people as possible ready to cultivate the Path of the Soul!" BS42 said as he disappeared. 

"I can never tell if that's technology or a technique." Master Que said to himself. 

Three years later, Master Que, Lorne, Tower, Paneneko, B'wiri, Master Bilvo and Master Neville awaited BS42. These were the individuals who completed the Path of Knowledge. BS42 appeared before everyone and lead them to a special classroom he recently built and guided everyone down the path of the Soul. 

One hundred and fifty years from the beginning of this sect-wide closed-door session. Master Que, Master Bilvo, Master Mace, Master Neville, Master Perachia, B'wiri, Tower, Lorne, Paneneko completed the Three-Five Paths. Most of the sect was nearly done with the Path of Knowledge a few of the denser students and Masters were beginning the Path of Knowledge, while Most of the elites of the sect were halfway through the Path of the Soul. Lorne, Tower and Paneneko's cultivations increased to Master Realm Perfect Level. 

Throughout the last one hundred and fifty years, Lorne worked on developing his Laser Vision. It was one of his favorite abilities and he couldn't stand for it to linger at only having the strength to start fires. It wasn't until he completed the Path of the Soul Lorne learned how to increase the strength and heat of his Laser Vision. 

Lorne was now capable of disintegrating anyone in the mortal realm with his Laser Vision, and could severely injure True Core Cultivators up to the Middle Level. Lorne knew he could increase the power of his Laser Vision. In fact, he understood his Laser Vision could easily become nearly limitlessly powerful as he continued to train.

After another sixty years, eighty percent of the clan completed the Three-Five Paths. Master Que opened the sect once more and held a grand celebration! It was a new era for the Water Rock Sect.

His life began as a superhero on Earth. He's died and lived different lives but always utilized strange and mystical technology to continue as a hero. Whether it was a dragon warrior or martial artist on a primitive planet, Lorne was the Invincible Hero. 

Born into a new life as an Elf Lorne, now called Boval, fights as a soldier for his place in a universe. No powers, no Samsara pod, no friends. Alone, mortal, living a completely alien life.

A new chapter in the Saga of the Invincible Hero begins.

The large auditorium started to fill up with students as the clock hit 4pm and the professor could be seen sitting behind a tall table, sipping on a cup of tea. The students all seemed to be carrying cold and disinterested expressions as none of them truly wanted to attend this lecture, it was only because they failed in some subjects that they were forced by Haven to attend these supplementary classes.

No one had even heard of the professor that would be teaching them, he was a ghost in their eyes, someone that almost didn't exist. The professor before them seemed young and probably in his mid twenties, wearing an expensive grey suit and had a black overcoat hung on his chair. The professor also had fair skin, red eyes and brown hair. 

From what one might think, the professor could be considered quite handsome, possessing a very aloof demeanour. One moment he would be sipping his tea, the next he would be staring at the ceiling, completely blank.

"Hey, Benny, this guy is our lecturer right?" A tough looking blond haired boy asked. The boy next to him on the row responded calmly, "well if he isn't, who is?"

"Whatever, my combat is good enough already, what's the fucking point in learning theory? I AM PEAK RANK 2!" The blond haired boy shouted.

"Enough. Stand up and greet you new professor." The red eyed man calmly spoke.

No one responded, they were all in their own worlds, pretending not to hear the words of the new professor. Disrespect could be summed up by the scene taking place here. No one made eye contact with the man, no one stood up, and no one greeted. A large class of failures as Haven would label it, since one had to fail at least 2 subjects to get forced into supplementary classes.

When living a life outside of Haven, people need to be prepared. So what if they know how to fight? They might only become a small time street enforcer if they go about living by their fists. Theory cannot be underestimated.

'These kids are so fucking disrespectful! If this was my household, they would have been beaten to death! I am gonna make them think twice before acting so high and mighty.' Simon thought to himself as he smirked.

"Hey, you over their!" Simon spoke as he pointed to the blond boy. "What is your name?"

The blond haired boy stood up and giggled a bit. "Why are you calling me out? You really have nothing better than to make an example out of me?" The blond haired boy laughed.

Simon suddenly gave the kid a piercing glare that dug straight into the latter's spine. "You must be Liam Chen; loud, disrespectful, a rebel, unable to listen, egomaniac, terrible at theory... the list goes on, the last professor must have really hated you." Simon chuckled.

"I'll make a bet with you, kid. If you can prove to me that you don't need theory to thrive in life, I will exempt you from supplementary classes, if you can't, you will have to stay an extra hour every day from now on."

"Easy! I can become a bounty hunter, that will get me some good money." Liam said confidently.

"Wrong, you don't even know how to use your VP to track a rabbit yet. I just checked your files, you failed that assessment. How are you going to track a target without that tool of the trade?"

"I'll become a bodyguard then!"

"Pffft! All high paying bodyguard jobs require a visionary that can condense mobile shield bubbles! The files say you can't even condense a box!"

"I will become a soldier-"

"The army requires all enlisted personnel to have passed an exam level theory test."

"I will become a businessman!"

"Visionaries can use their powers to make 3D diagrams that exceed the capabilities of computers, which are often used in business."

"I will become a gladiator!"

"Can you beat an 'Oscillating Ripple Jab'? It's a very hard to master this technique which is based on visionary theory, which can knock an equally power opponent to the ground in a single hit."

"FINE! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FOR ME TO DO? NOT EVERYONE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL!"

"Wrong! In Haven, there is no room for failures. I will show you that. Everyone here will become successful if they can improve their theory. The most high paying jobs require a decent understanding of theory, otherwise you won't get anywhere! So listen up, I am going to make sure that none of you take theory lightly anymore!" Simon pointed around the room.

"Firstly, Creating 3D objects with VP. If you can't do this by the end of the week, I will recommend your expulsions! If I like your work, I might even throw in some combat oriented theory..."

What is waiting for him? 

A cliche mess that he had written himself.

Watch as he becomes OP through his knowledge and random coincidence. 

“Why did I make my MC an edgelord?”

“Why does this system make me too OP?”

“Why am I bored?”

“Why did I put harem in my novel?”
