Although the notification mentioned that Wei Huo had to be tested in the Thunder Pond, he did not see any Thunder Pond.
'F*ck your sister, you should have at least created the main props!'
Wei Huo took a few steps forward and accidentally triggered the system's notification. "You have already entered the Thunder Pond."
Wei Huo was confused. "???"
'When did I even step into the Thunder Pond? Why do I feel nothing?'
A three minutes countdown timer then appeared on Wei Huo's head. However, he had not felt anything. It seemed like that was another BUG.
The game setting was very rigid. For example, one would trigger an incident after arriving at a specific place and after a specific time. Just like what is happening right now in the Dragon Palace, Wei Huo arrived at the Thunder Pond and he would have obtained the scroll after three minutes.
Although the Thunder Pond did not exist now, it would definitely be set up at this location in the future. By listening to the name, it was no doubt that one who entered the pond will be electrocuted. However, the game was not fully developed yet. So…
Wei Huo sat crossed-leg and waited for the countdown to end. However, he did not receive anything even after the countdown ended.
Does that mean the Thunder Variation Scroll was still under development?
Another system notification appeared after that. "Persist for another 10 minutes to obtain the True Thunder Variation Scroll. Spend 100 Magical Stones to purchase a one-off shield if the Player could not persist. The one-off shield's effect only lasts for a minute."
Wei Huo was left speechless. "..."
This God used to work in the Penguin logo company, right?
Wei Huo suddenly imagined how Ma Huateng[1] [1] would have felt after entering this checkpoint. Would he have felt a sense of familiarity?
Wei Huo continued sitting cross-legged in the Thunder Pond. After 10 minutes, the system notification appeared again. "Persist for another 30 minutes and you will be rewarded the Improvised True Thunder Variation Scroll."
Wei Huo was left speechless. "..."
'Let's see what kind of scroll you will give me in the end.'
After 30 minutes, the system notification popped up again. "Persist for another hour and you will be rewarded the God of Thunder scroll."
Wei Huo was dumbstruck. God of Thunder sounded very impressive. The name was a bit too exaggerated for a Qi Cultivation scroll.
Wei Huo did not move and the one-hour countdown began. He reckoned it was impossible for someone to stay in the Thunder Pond for such a long time except for the God of Thunder.
Wei Huo waited patiently for an hour. Suddenly, a flash hit the rugged roof and struck Wei Huo. The next moment, a new skill was added into Wei Huo's Attribute Menu.
'God of Thunder, Level Zero. The highest level is level 20.'
Wei Huo lifted his hand to try out the skill. Suddenly, an electric current spurt out from his fingertip. Right then, Wei Huo felt that the Qi energy in his body reduced slightly. At the same time, his skill proficiency in God of Thunder increased by one percent.
Wei Huo instantly understood that he had the ability to control the thunder and gained proficiency by consuming his Qi. Hence, the ability to control thunder was also considered a Qi Cultivation scroll.
Indeed, God was being very considerate.
Wei Huo decided to leave after he got the scroll. After all, the mentioned gold, crystal, and treasures did not exist at all. The whole Dragon Palace was empty and it looked like a semi-finished house. However, Wei Huo still felt relieved that basic props like the scroll and test still existed.
He left the Dragon Palace and entered the seawater. He suddenly realized that he had not needed to breathe!
Wei Huo was in shock and it was then that he finally noticed there were bubbles all over the surface of his skin. It dawned on him seconds later, 
Electrolysis of water!
Electricity could break down water molecules and split it into hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen was just what the human body needed.
Wei Huo felt that the Qi in his body was gradually reducing while the skill proficiency of God of Thunder was increasing. At the same time, he felt that he only had to exhale carbon dioxide and need not inhale oxygen. That was because the cells on his skin's surface had begun electrolyzing water, and the oxygen obtained will be provided directly to the cells in his body.
Wei Huo left the tremendous cave. The cave door shut itself the moment he left. The gem was still embedded in the center of the door but it would not open for Wei Huo anymore.
Wei Huo untied the rope on the rock and swam upwards. Raindrops started falling from the sky as Wei Huo popped out of the water. A gush of cool wind blew towards Wei Huo and suddenly, his hair stood up.
Wei Huo touched his hair with his hand and he heard a crackling noise from the static electricity.
Wei Huo was left speechless. "..."
'Is this a natural punk hairstyle?'
Wei Huo knew that it happened because of his improficiency in controlling the electricity. Situations like that would not have happened if he was proficient enough.
Wei Huo went back to his ship and saw that the panda was chewing on a string of iron wire instead of sleeping. It seemed that pandas had a nickname called the Iron Eater[2]…
A brilliant idea suddenly struck Wei Huo's mind as he saw the wire coil.
'Electric Motor Manufacturing!'
Wei Huo had the skill to control electricity now, and he needed the practice to increase his proficiency. Moreover, the destroyed sails had slowed down his ship's speed.
The problems would be easily solved if he manufactured an electric motor.
Wei Huo ran to the hold of the ship. He found some iron coils, magnets, and wire cords which were still in good condition.
He studied those tools attentively, trying to understand the operating principles of each tool and figuring out how to manufacture an electric motor. He was brainstorming the manufacturing methods available and had finally made up his mind...
Wei Huo then opened the 'Electric Motor' blueprint in the system and installed it on the ship. He put the materials inside and the next thing he knew, the electric motor had been automatically manufactured.
'Isn't that fascinating?'
'Well, it's a game. You don't have to be too particular with the details.'
The next step would be the power supply. There was a lot of power supply equipment in the blueprint. That equipment was prepared for the players. Otherwise, things would go wrong if most of the devices were destroyed and the players did not know how to build and repair them after time had recovered.
God would not make such a blunder.
Every player was provided basic manufacturing blueprints. More advanced equipment like the nuclear reactor, spaceship engine, and anti-gravity system cannot be manufactured at that moment. Players would have to collect the blueprints for equipment that required advanced technologies. Collecting these blueprints would probably be a mystifying journey too, for example, the need to scan the equipment using scanners in order to register the blueprints?
The power supply equipment blueprints included Solar Panel, Wind Power Generator, Tidal Energy, Geothermal Energy, Thermal Power, Hydroelectric Power, and so on. On the other hand, the power storage equipment blueprints included a Battery, Lithium Battery, and so on. Unfortunately, Wei Huo did not have the materials, so he could manufacture that equipment.
However, Wei Huo could now solve the fundamental problem of inoperative electrical appliances with the God of Thunder Skill.
Wei Huo became a new electric generator. He could generate electricity as long as he eats and trains his Qi energy.
'Let me show you the Legendary Human Electric Generator.'
Wei Huo grabbed the tip of the electric motor's wire and began to generate electricity. Unfortunately, nothing happened to the electric motor as the electricity generated by Wei Huo was still too weak. It was not enough to start the electric motor.

The huge lecture hall was so silent that even a pin dropping on the ground could be heard clearly.
Many people were still reeling in the bizarre scene. Meanwhile, the young martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two were considering whether they should go up to attend the lecture.
The first few rows in the front had always belonged to Inner Sacred Martial Hall. This hidden rule had been passed down in the Sacred Martial Hall for a very long time. But today, the front row wasn't occupied by the martial artists of inner Sacred Martial Hall. No one could swallow this.
Huang Fengwan looked at Qin Fen, then, he turned his gaze to the batchmates of Building No. One twenty-two before nodding his agreement helplessly. How could he back down timidly in front of so many people?
The martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two, seeing the leader also agreeing, stood up and made their way to the first row under the watchful gazes of the crowd, one after another.
First row! It had always been the domain of Inner Sacred Martial Hall.
At this moment, the martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two were inexplicably excited. Under the watchful gazes of everyone, they could not help but straighten their spines. Even their gait and swinging of their arms were stronger than before. Their blood had started to seethe.
A dazed Sammartino, who was standing by his side, looked at his own body, puzzled. How come my limbs aren't listening to me at all? How could I cower in front of so many people? This is truly disgraceful!
The undefeated Inner Sacred Martial Hall was actually forced to retreat by just a shout from a basic-type Outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artist. This was a shameful matter for the entire Inner Sacred Martial Hall.
Watching the Outer Sacred Martial Hall martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two coming over, Sammartino's anger that was momentarily smothered for no reason was reignited! Immediately, visible blue electric sparks flickered around the iron fan in his hand, making constant crackling noise like the sound of firewood after it was ignited.
Huang Fengwan looked at Sammartino with vigilance as he sped up his footsteps towards Qin Fen.
One step... two steps... three steps...
Suddenly, Sammartino's muscles pulsated as blue sparks crackled about his body. His eyes, too, flickered with blue sparks. "Outrageous."
Sammartino raised the iron fan as he shouted. His body, which he had regained control of, bent momentarily before the iron fan rushed out like an arrow fired from a bent bow. Immediately after, the iron fan opened completely with a clang like a peacock fanning out its feathers! It started cutting towards the back of Huang Fengwan's head!
Using the sword technique, Peacock Spreads its Feathers, the fan opened faster and its range also became wider. Whether Huang Fengwan jumped left, right, up, or down, he would still be within the range.
Sammartino had lost all his face after having lost control of his body inexplicably. He made a move all in order to regain his lost face. At the same time the iron fan opened, the fan surface was covered in blue electric arcs.
The metallic clang of this move brought back everyone's feelings back to the turbulent age of iron-hooved horses galloping on an ancient battlefield.
Before the martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two could warn Huang Fengwan, they discovered that Sammartino's fan was right behind Huang Fengwan.
Mark secretly praised in his heart after having seen Sammartino's attack. This guy is really powerful. Not only is Sammartino's Azure Electric Drive better than ever, his attack has also reached a whole new level. The fan seems alive. Its every strip is pulsating with the fan's momentum.
It looked like Sammartino wasn't the one controlling the fan. Instead, it moving with him.
So fast! Huang Fengwan screamed in his heart. He had been ready to kick the ground and retreat promptly. In the fact of the sudden onslaught of the fan from all directions, he was unable to dodge in left, right, up, or down directions. More importantly, the nine-star Azure Electric Drive crackling around him was more than what an eight-star martial artist could handle. If he so much as come in contact with any of it, he would be shocked and paralyzed, leading to fatal flaws.
Retreat was the only choice, the best choice.
Huang Fengwan's retreat was fast but Sammartino was faster. The edge of the fan was gaining on Huang Fengwan rapidly. The distance of three meters shrunk to one meter in the blink of an eye.
It's over! Huang Fengwan lamented as he saw the fan arrive before him in the blink of an eye. The gap between the two was simply too big.
The martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two closed their eyes immediately. They could not beat to watch their compatriot cut down by the fan.
Immediately, Qin Fen raised his hand and gasped towards them without even looking back. His fingers swelled to the size of little carrots like balloons, brushing past Huang Fengwan's cheek.
CLANG!
The fan with the Peacock Spread Its Wings was closed shut fiercely. The body of the fan made a crisp metallic sound subsequently! Sammartino felt a burning sensation coming from the palm holding the fan. He felt as if he was holding onto a red-hot piece of iron.
DING... TANG... CLANG...
Several different types of metallic sounds rang instantly. Qin Fen had grabbed ahold of the fan without even looking back. The fan was closed shut forcibly in the blink of an eye. And immediately after, the framework of the fan was twisted as he twisted his wrist along with his fingers before he pulled the fan towards him in the end!
Ren Tiansheng gasped breaths of cold hair repeatedly. To his surprise, Qin Fen had completely scrapped the iron fan shooting electric currents with just one hand in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint. Amazing!
Sammartino's feet suddenly slipped as Qin Fen pulled his arm. He felt as he was being dragged by a train. He simply had no strength to resist.
I have to let go! Sammartino promptly made a decision and let the iron fan in his hand loose. Just as he attempted to adjust his slipping body, he discovered that the big hand that was tightly holding the fan reached out suddenly, grabbing ahold of his wrist.
PA!
Sammartino simply didn't have the time to mount any counterattack or dodge; his wrist had been grabbed ahold of by Qin Fen. Qin Fen's arm trembled fiercely as he grabbed Sammartino's wrist.
Sammartino immediately felt a power gushing into his body like a billowing wave.
Everything happened so fast that Sammartino was unable to respond. All he heard was a series of his bones dislocating, again and again before unbearable bouts of pain raided him from over a hundred different locations.
Sammartino, who was overflowing with killing intent, slumped down like a boneless snake. His figure continuously shook in the air as Qin Fen's arm shook...
Bam... bang...
Sammartino's figure fell heavily on the ground just as the iron fan fell on the ground, raising a cloud of dust up to everyone's head.
"What... what did you do to me?" Sammartino wanted to get up but he found that every part of his body was screaming from pain!
Muscles Separation and Bones Dislocation! An ancient oriental term quickly flashed in Sammartino's mind. He barely raised his only active tibia and stared at Qin Fen's back.
Ren Tiansheng took a long breath of cold air as he stared at Qin Fen with shock and surprise. Muscles Separation and Bones Dislocation! It sure is the Muscles Separation and Bones Dislocation, but this young man had only touched Sammartino's wrist a bit and fiercely shook his arm yet he dislocated all of his bones with just shock, completely achieving Muscles Separation and Bones Dislocation.
What a terrifying technique, what accurate calculation! He sent shock energy into the opponent's body and hit every joint precisely, so precisely that it only dislocated the joint; did not shatter them!
Ren Tiansheng could not help but gulp several times. Talking about just defeating Sammartino, he could have defeated Sammartino faster but if he used shock energy to dislocated Sammartino's entire skeleton, he really couldn't do it.
Separating Muscles and Dislocating Bones... Ren Tiansheng was confident that he could separate Sammartino's joints with a touch but he couldn't tear a human apart by grabbing just a part of the body.
Strong! Too strong! I want to take this kid as my disciple... no! Ren Tiansheng shook his head again and again. Judging by his technique and aura of power, the only obvious difference between us is star-class. I can't have a guy like him as my disciple, I need to communicate with him on equal footing... equal footing...
Ren Tiansheng looked at Qin Fen, feeling a bit unsure. Can I really discuss martial arts with this young man on an equal footing? He is so young, it should be okay, right? It can't go as far as I, a fourteen-star martial artist asking him, a ten-star martial artist for advice, right?
Compared to the expert Ren Tiansheng, who could recognize the artistry, the layman inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artist and the other onlooking martial artists in the vicinity were all stunned.
Insta-win!? No! It's even faster than insta-win! Everyone first glanced at the iron fan on the ground. It had lost all the semblance of an iron fan. It looked more like a scrapped bar of iron.
Then, they turned their gaze at Sammartino, the leader of the Inner Sacred Martial Hall freshman who was currently lying on the ground, groaning.
The young martial artists were unable to understand exactly what just happened. Much to their dismay, something had dislocated Sammartino's bone, causing him to crash on the ground. This kind of fear of the unknown was even more worrying. At this moment, all the astonished eyes were focused on Qin Fen.
What just happened!? Mark asked himself. He looked at Alice beside him, only to discover that even his companion of recruit tournament was oblivious to what just happened.
A stunned Mark stared at Qin Fen. This guy has actually become so strong!? He didn't even bother to look at the nine-star martial artist Sammartino and destroyed his iron fan as well as dislocated all his bones with just a casual grab!? He defeated Sammartino as easily as strangling a chicken...
Mark then turned his attention on Brooks. Then he discovered that none of the opponents he had faced in the recruit tournament back then were astonished by Qin Fen's performance.
Did they also... Mark subconsciously took half a step back and shouted from the bottom of his heart, "Impossible!" I worked so hard! Here I thought that I would have surpassed my previous competitors after training so hard in the Inner Sacred Martial Hall.
But who would have thought that when I encountered them again, it would be me who was so thrown far behind by my competitors?
Staring at that wide back of Qin Fen in a daze, Sammartino felt it grow bigger and wider suddenly as if it was no longer the back of a human but a huge cliff, a magnificent peak!
Qin Fen raised his hand and patted at the stump by his side, "Huang Fengwan, come, sit here."
The martial artists of Building No. One twenty-two came to the first row and sat down, one after another. The young Inner Sacred Martial Hall martial artists glanced at Qin Fen with hesitation before giving up altogether resentfully.
As a martial artist who was able to enter the Sacred Martial Hall, they still had a basic insight. All of them were clearly aware of how big the gap between them was from a moment ago. If they went up, they would only be bringing shame to themselves.
"Members of Outer Sacred Martial Hall, don't think that the Inner Sacred Martial Hall will let this matter rest here! Let's go!"


"Qin Fen had once been abandoned and broken until, one day, he picked up a liquid metal ball that turned his life upside down.
This is the interplanetary era where Classical and Modern Wushu are competing. Classical Wushu enables followers to grow as powerful as dragons and elephants, whereas Modern Wushu enables followers to freeze monsters or even extinguish erupting volcanoes.
Qin Fen steps onto the stage of both Classical and Modern Wushu while belonging to neither. With the exquisite combination of both Classical Wushu and modern technology, he will pave a way to become a legend.
He is one of a kind, a favored son of heaven." -KyleChow_
"He is a youth, a gentleman, and a scholar cultivating in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. He has the strength of ten dragons and ten elephants, producing clouds with a turn of a hand and rain with the other. This is a story about the clash of passions between neo martial arts and paleo martial arts. This is a story about transcending the apex, about forcefully slaughtering one's way into the legends. This is a story about fading into nirvana, about the prideful of heaven!
In this world, cultivating the paleo martial art known as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to the pinnacle allows one to possess the enormous strength of ten dragons and ten elephants! In this world, the Nitrogen Freezing Magic can freeze even a volcano on the verge of eruption! In this world, the Magma Art can instantly melt and vaporize a glacier!
This is a heavy undertaking by Skyscrapper back in 2009! This is a story of affection, of love. This is a story never lacking in friendship. This story, overflowing with heated blood, is certain to cause your own passion to surge!
This is a radiant era where hot-blood, friendship, love, and heroes converge, shine, and interweave upon each other.
Click and fall in love with this legend." -Strivon (Translation of original synopsis)


"Ah! Ah! Ah!" On the screen showing the live broadcast, the Pig Iron Tyrant King threw his head back and roared towards the sky. His steel-like arms were dancing around wildly. In an instant, his opponent, a feeble-looking young man, was pulverized to pieces.
Although this was only a match in the Meru Realm, the fact that he went berserk made many viewers shudder.
"What the f*ck? The Pig Iron Tyrant King is really crazy!"
"Not just crazy. I heard that he is going ham for the sake of entering District Two and having a placing match with Luo Yunyang!"
"If Luo Yunyang wins another match, he will enter District One!"
"Do you think he can even beat Eldest Senior Brother? It's not just the Pig Iron Tyrant King. Dong Kenu is taking on matches frantically in order to get Luo Yunyang's District Two spot. I can't wait for it!"
"Yea, I hope that the Pig Iron Tyrant King can make a strong comeback."
"Stop watching this. The top-notch finals are about to begin. Yang Shang is participating in the first match!" a loud voice said through the screen displaying the broadcast.
Everyone watching the Pig Iron Tyrant King's match left instantly. Only the Pig Iron Tyrant King remained over there, roaring his head off.
The number of viewers watching this battle in the entire Meru Realm hit 150,000, while the broadcasting platform in the third spiral arm of the Milky Way hit more than 10 million viewers.
There was actually an extremely high fee for viewing the broadcast. One match cost one-tenth of a star dollar!
Luo Yunyang was also watching this match. Although he resided in the Top Blood District, he had never seen Yang Shang before.
Yang Shang had always been in seclusion. Luo Yunyang had also never seen Yang Shang, even when some Galaxy-Grade rulers had been giving lessons.
This was an extremely arrogant person!
When the broadcast turned on, the first person Luo Yunyang saw was a tall, large man with flowing long hair. Blood Disciples wore efficient, sturdy armor, yet this man was dressed in a gray combat robe!
Plus, there weren't even any weapons in his hands.
Ever since the competition had started, practically every Blood Disciple, including telekinesis users and martialists, used weapons in matches.
After all, weapons could amplify a warrior's combat strength. However, this person didn't have a single weapon on his body.
The instant Luo Yunyang saw this man, his first thought was that this was Yang Shang. Yang Shang's opponent was a grim-looking guy with three scars across his face.
The guy was holding a golden spear. When he saw Yang Shang, slight trepidation oozed out of his eyes.
"Yang Shang, it's my honor to have an exchange with you!" The man cupped his hands and spoke with a hoarse voice.
"Too much noise!" Yang Shang said in an indifferent tone. Then, he waved his palms and the vast lightning from the void gathered into a pool of lightning that enveloped his opponent whole.
The guy was terrified. However, as the lightning barrage descended, his spear transformed into a long dragon in the sky.
In terms of exquisiteness, it seemed like this guy's technique might have come out slightly on top. However, as the boundless lightning flames surged towards him, the guy shrieked. In the end, he was turned into nothing.
This battle had been simple, yet fierce. However, victory had been decisive. After triumphing, Yang Shang vanished into the void.
How mystical! This was the first thought Luo Yunyang had after witnessing Yang Shang's battle.
If he had a match with Yang Shang, what would his odds of victory be? Luo Yunyang wondered.
He could not answer this question. Yang Shang had only displayed the tip of the iceberg of his power after all. He had completely relied on his massive strength and control of Lightning-Based Origin Source Law to defeat his opponent.
Luo Yunyang didn't turn off the video after watching Yang Shang's match. Instead, he followed it up with Yun Dongyang's match.
Yun Dongyang was different from Yang Shang. The moment he appeared on the screen, it was very difficult to discern his actual position.
There were 36 illusions that seemed completely real! Only Yun Dongyang's eyes could be seen through the long black robes he wore.
Yun Dongyang's opponent was very tense.
This was a rare female Blood Disciple. Her tall, slender frame made her appear like a tenacious panther.
The lady, who was wielding two crescent blades in her hands, charged frantically at the illusions the moment Yun Dongyang appeared.
Her strategy was clear. Since she couldn't differentiate between the many Yun Dongyangs, she would just destroy them all.
However, when her blade sliced apart one of Yun Dongyang's illusions, she crashed straight to the ground.
Although this was a live broadcast, it was very difficult to know the actual circumstances on sight. Therefore, none of the outsiders knew what exactly had happened.
Yun Dongyang left just like Yang Shang, without waiting for a ruling on his victory.
His 36 illusions disappeared at the exact same time, so it was impossible to determine exactly which body was his.
"That's sick!" stated a comment left on the broadcasting platform by a spectator among the hundreds of empires in the third spiral arm of the Milky Way. 
"I think that even a Nebula-Grade powerhouse might not necessarily be able to beat Yun Dongyang."
Less than a minute after this comment was posted, someone replied, "I am a Nebula 3-Grade powerhouse, and I can say with certainty that if I had been standing there, I would definitely have lost as well."
These discussions made Yun Dongyang's reputation rise. People used the words 'mysterious' and 'powerful' to describe him.
Tie Wudi and Wen Jingxuan were equally breathtaking. Besides the two of them, who were viewed as top-notch powerhouses, other people performed just as brilliantly during their matches.
Even though there was a certain gap, inferior competitors would strive their hardest to obtain victory. Although the superior ones would eventually be victorious, they'd still show their true ability.
"Blood Disciple Luo Yunyang, your match will be starting in one minute. Your arena will be the Dark Mysterious Ocean. The gravity there is 200 times higher than on an ordinary planet, and the temperature is -1,000 degrees!"
As Luo Yunyang was engrossed in watching the battles, a familiar voice rang in his ear.
Luo Yunyang, who wasn't really scared about his battle with Qin Donglai, took a deep breath and entered the Meru Realm with his consciousness.
He appeared on an expanse of ocean. The temperature didn't affect Luo Yunyang much, but he knew that Qin Donglai was most proficient in Water-Based Origin Source Law and combined Water and Lightning-Based Origin Source Law to practise the Electric Water Path. In the ocean, Qin Donglai would definitely act like a fish in the water.
"This is indeed an expanse of ocean. It is plain that the Bloody Massacre Path's upper echelons don't really like this Luo Yunyang fella."
"My guess was spot-on. Ha ha ha! Sit tight and watch Sick Luo get slaughtered!"
"You can do it, Eldest Senior Brother! We believe in you!"
All sorts of messages appeared on the Meru Realm's platform as Luo Yunyang appeared. There were even some people who encouraged this. "Eldest Senior Brother, we want to see an electrocuted fish! We will add one star coin for each additional minute of oppression!"
These clearly provocative words immediately received a lot of support.
The ashamed Pig Iron Tyrant King had come, and so had Dong Kenu. The two of them didn't say anything, but their names on the platform were a clear display of their stance that spoke volumes.
When Luo Yunyang emerged, a figure also appeared about 10 meters away from him. It was a middle-aged man in his 40s. The man, who didn't have a tall frame, had some white strands in his hair.
"You went a little overboard during your previous match with the Pig Iron Tyrant King, Yunyang," said Qin Donglai as soon as he glanced at Luo Yunyang.
Luo Yunyang had never imagined that this man, who had the reputation of an Eldest Senior Brother would actually give him a reprimand right off the bat!
If the Pig Iron Tyrant King hadn't been so unbridled, Luo Yunyang wouldn't have made him sing and dance. However, this was already done. Luo Yunyang had no regrets.
Besides, he had a stubborn personality, so he simply didn't listen to preaching. He felt irritated just listening to Qin Donglai's words of experience.
"You get treated the way you treat others. Today, I will let you experience the humiliation that the Pig Iron Tyrant King felt!" Qin Donglai seemed full of self-confidence as he gazed at Luo Yunyang.
"The Eldest Senior Brother is great indeed. He has the air of an elder brother. I like him!"
"His words are really righteous. You get treated the way you treat others. I believe that this time Sick Luo will suffer!"
"The Elder Senior Brother's Electric Water Path is not just adept in offense. It is also great in defense. Given the Eldest Senior Brother's mind powers, he surpasses ordinary people by far. Luo Yunyang will fall without a doubt!"
"The Eldest Senior Brother is mighty. He will definitely teach Luo Yunyang the lesson he deserves. He he he… How touching!"
"Best to make him suffer for an entire day. Let him see what being trapped in an Electric Net with no escape is like!"
"Everyone, I think that Luo Yunyang wouldn't be able to endure five minutes inside the Electric Net before kneeling and begging for mercy!"
"Five minutes? You are really overestimating him. His Omnipresent Net Technique is already ineffective. Against the Eldest Senior Brother's Electric Water Path, his four blades will be very difficult to control. He will certainly be defeated!"
Although Luo Yunyang couldn't see all these comments, he was still pissed. His heart was raging, yet he still had a pleasant smile on his face.
"He he… You think that I went overboard with the Pig Iron Tyrant King?" he told Qin Donglai teasingly. "He he… What else did I do wrong? Hurry up and say whatever you want. I won't change anyway, but don't let these words stifle you to death!"
Qin Donglai was a little flabbergasted when he heard this. This man was just too shameless!
Luo Yunyang didn't care. Instead, he just drew a blade and brandished it.
His blade was one-meter long!
According to the rules of this competition, every competitor could have 10 types of weapons. However, they were only able to choose one per match.
Although this blade had been placed together with the four short blades, its luster had been overshadowed by the other four.
When Luo Yunyang drew this long blade, a faint look of astonishment flashed across Qin Donglai's eyes. This astonishment suddenly turned into trepidation.
It was clear that he had never imagined that Luo Yunyang would actually use a long blade!
"Cut the crap! Just take my blade!" 


Violet skies, a world undergoing massive changes, a deficient moon, interlinking voids...
When the world experienced a cataclysmic event,the majority of living things died right away. Although humanity survived by hiding in the last safe zones, humans had to face mutated dire beasts and colossal source beasts that could break through the space barrier and enter the earth at any second.
Luo Yunyang, a young man who grew up in those calamitous times, obtained an attribute regulator and set out to walk the path of supremacy!

After online protest, the notorious Net rehab center back then shut down, but it had now become a mobile behavior correction facility, and so far had over a hundred "patients."
Their ages varied, young and old all included.
Some were sent here by their families because of an obsession with mahjong, some because of puppy love, and some because they preferred Cola over Pepsi… Some were like Dopey Guo's uncle, Guo Feng, who didn't want to find a girlfriend and get married.
"Patients" were sent here for all kinds of unusual reasons, and in keeping with Dr Yang's treatment style.
While waiting in the hall earlier, which was also when Long Ming had recognized Wang Ling and fled, Wang Ling had used the Great Blood Origin Spell to trace back Dr Yang's ancestry. In the end, he discovered that this Dr Yang's ancestor had actually been beaten up before – it was Wang Zhen who had given Dr Yang's thirty-sixth generation ancestor a thrashing back then and left behind a disfigurement curse which had been passed down ever since.
But unfortunately… 
This curse was probably going to end with this generation.
Because in just a while, this place would disappear forever.
At that very moment, Wang Ling was already cuffed to a table. Being cuffed for the first time was actually a novel experience, but it was best not to try this sort of thing – Wang Ling didn't want to be like that "Miss Try" who refused to listen to warnings and attacked police in the subway with a knife[1].
There would always be "big babies" in society who thought that everyone would be like their families and give in to them or cherish them in every way possible. But reality proved that these people were missing half their brains. Even a primary school kid could understand why they had to obey the law, yet there were people who had gone to university who still broke it – as reality proved, a person's basic quality had little to do with their educational background.
It depended entirely upon family education.
Father and Mother Wang were more confident on this point than anyone else.
Although Wang Ling had been a bit of a chuuni when he was younger, this couple was still able to lead their son back onto the right path. When Wang Ling carefully pondered this later, he felt that it actually had a lot to do with his parents writing novels.
Novel characters tended more or less to be a little chuuni, so Father and Mother Wang were probably very confident when it came to dealing with this phase!
At the moment, Wang Ling was lying on a treatment table, his four limbs held down by several big men. One of them even put a ball gag in his mouth.
Crack… 
Wang Ling very calmly crushed it with his teeth.
Yang Huai was blank. "What a surprise… you actually learn martial arts?"
The big man who had put the ball gag in was also a little stupefied. "Dr Yang, what now?"
"Get me the black iron ball gag," said Yang Huai.
The big man nodded. Spirit light flashed in his hand, and an 80x40 iron box appeared. It opened, and inside it were various kinds of ball gags made from different materials.
When the big man put the black iron ball gag in Wang Ling's mouth, everyone heard another crisp "crack."
Yang Huai frowned, a little angry now. "Get me the black godly jade ball gag."
Crack…
Yang Huai: "Get me the top-grade diamond one!"
Crack…
Yang Huai: "Premium black crystal! Get me the premium black crystal ball gag! I don't believe that won't work!"
Crack… 
"…"
The big man: "Dr Yang… need to get another one?"
Yang Huai was already sweating. "Get… get…"
Get… what the hell else was there to get?!
"Forget it, just leave it… If he bites his tongue, that's his own problem." Yang Huai was usually excited when he administered treatment, especially when he saw a ball gag in the patient's mouth. It was like an adrenaline rush, and the more electric shocks he gave, the more excited he became.
But since Wang Ling didn't have a ball gag in his mouth, Doctor Yang instantly lost half his enthusiasm.
At that moment, Yang Huai was weary and aggravated. He had operated this treatment center for so many years and had seen all kinds of bizarre patients. Even Soul Formation cultivators finally gave in with just a few electric shocks – when had he ever suffered this kind of setback?
In a fit of obscure anger, Yang Huai unconsciously turned the dial on the medical device right up to 10, alarming the big men next to him.
According to the family information on the patient they had kidnapped this time, he was just at the Qi Condensation stage, and wasn't especially strong – in treating patients at this level, a 2 or 3 on the device was enough to make them feel pain.
But the treatment now was actually five times stronger.
Treatment Room No. 13's ultimate medical device had a total of one hundred levels of intensity, which would make even gods and devils kneel!
"To be able to crush my ball gags with his teeth, this guy's strength definitely isn't anything like his family reported; he was definitely hiding it." Yang Huai sneered.
Since this person dared resist, then he should be ready to take the humiliation… oh, no, the treatment!
Thus, while Wang Ling was looking forward to the treatment, Yang Huai finally put the tip of the stun gun to his temple — this was a necessary step for any patient receiving the treatment.
The stun gun would shock the temples on both sides before the electric currents swiftly moved to converge in between the eyebrows. Depending on the patient's condition, this could last ten to thirty seconds.
But in his fit of anger, Yang Huai deliberately took his time so that the treatment took the maximum thirty seconds.
Wang Ling could feel the electric current passing through his pores.
But he didn't put up a struggle.
Because it actually felt very comfortable.
The electric currents passing through his temples and then slowly moving to the space between his eyebrows somehow was a familiar motion to Wang Ling.
When the electric currents from both sides came together in the middle of his eyebrows, Wang Ling finally remembered —
This was clearly "massaging the temples and around the eye sockets" in an eye health exercise!
But this electric stimulation was obviously a lot more comfortable than the eye exercise — after a whole morning of taking exams, this electrotherapy massage was pretty good… 
On the side, Yang Huai and the big men holding Wang Ling down were stupefied.
Honestly speaking, it was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
This patient unexpectedly had no reaction to the electric current at all.
"I'm going to kill you!" Emboldened by his fury, Yang Huai grit his teeth angrily and turned the setting on the medical apparatus up to 50!
It wasn't the highest level, but even a Soul Formation cultivator couldn't endure level 50.
Even if this person could crush Yang Huai's ball gags with his teeth, Yang Huai believed that the intensity at level 50 could kill this person eighty times over!
"Go to hell…"
After saying that, Yang Huai put the tip of the stun gun to Wang Ling's temple once more.
[1] In 2018, a young lady who was nicknamed Miss Try was detained for attacking a police officer in the subway with a knife. In a later interview, she said that people should experience various things, whether good or bad.


As a cultivation genius who has achieved a new realm every two years since he was a year old, Wang Ling is a near-invincible existence with prowess far beyond his control. But now that he’s sixteen, he faces his greatest battle yet - Senior High School. With one challenge after another popping up, his plans for a low-key high school life seem further and further away...
Wang Ling: I just want to eat my crispy noodle snacks in peace...
Father Wang: If you're careless enough to destroy the country, it’s coming out of your pocket money. 
Wang Ling: It’s not my fault that the backlash from punching me kills you.

Qin Wushuang's strategy caused Bao Bao and the Purple Flame Electric Beast to feel their blood start to boil as both voiced their approval. Qin Wushuang said: "Let's not drag it out, we'll start immediately. Bao Bao, remember, this strategy should not lead to an all-out battle, but a surprise attack. You must constantly remain on the move, changing your position. You must never allow them to find their footing."
Bao Bao laughed: "Don't worry, Boss. Previously, when we were dealing with the Nine Palace Faction, didn't we also target each of their strongholds and defeat them? I will not be stupid enough to confront them head on and let them set up their formations."
The team divided into two as Bao Bao headed to his destination and Qin Wushuang along the Purple Flame Electric Beast headed towards the other direction. They promised that both parties would regroup near the Monkey King Mountain in half a month.
Bao Bao traveled quickly towards the headquarters of the Red Maple Human Clan, while Qin Wushuang and the Purple Flame Electric Beast headed towards the home of the Deep Abyss Barbarian Tribe by following Bao Bao's accurate directions.
Currently, regardless of the Red Maple Human Clan or the Deep Abyss Barbarian Tribe, their headquarters were rather empty. The elite warriors of each clan had already left for the Monkey King Mountain in preparation of taking down the mountain in one breath.
In less than two days of traveling, Qin Wushuang and the Purple Flame Electric Beast arrived outside the underground deep abyss. The underground abyss was located at a low-lying terrain. From all directions, endless swamp surrounded it and provided the Barbarian Tribe a layer of natural defense.
For this swamp, as long as you did take even one misstep, it would be possible for you disappear into the mud forever. The engulfing power of this quagmire was at least ten times stronger than an ordinary quagmire. Even if you were an elite warrior of the martial art world, if you were careless enough to step in, unless someone next to you could help you immediately, you would also get swallowed.
This quagmire extended for a few hundred miles. It appeared barren and uninhabited. Only the short shrubbery could cover one's movements to some extent.
If one were to come to this swamp in the daylight, unless they could become invisible or grow wings, they would be unable to pass through it safely without getting discovered. Otherwise, it would only be possible to travel during the night as to avoid being discovered.
After discussing for a moment outside the swamp, Qin Wushuang and the Purple Flame Electric Beast still decided to enter during night time. To elite warriors at their level, the few hundred miles of swamp was not too difficult to traverse. They would only need to spend a bit of extra spiritual energy and could cross this swamp area like walking on a flat land.
 "Boss, what kind of demonic place does this Barbarian clan live in? Why are they living in this swamp?" The Purple Flame Electric Beast had a bellyful of complaints.
 "They don't live in the swamp, they live in the underground deep abyss. Only, the entrance and exit of that deep abyss is surrounded by this swamp."
 "Boss, when we go in, do we just set it on fire? No tearing people up?" The Purple Flame Electric Beast rubbed his paws. He felt that killing people and committing arson was one process with two segments. It would only be exciting if these two things were to happen at the same time. Just setting the place ablaze, and not killing people was not stimulating enough.
However, Qin Wushuang said: "It will depend on the timing. If the fire goes smoothly, we will not kill people unless necessary. If the Barbarian Tribe keeps pestering us, we shouldn't let them keep hitting us, right? When it's necessary to kill, there will be no hesitation."
The Purple Flame Electric Beast laughed and did not speak a word.
When nightfall arrived, both Qin Wushuang and the Purple Flame Electric Beast jumped out. Qin Wushuang said: "Be careful, let's go!"
Although this swamp appeared uneven, overall, it was rather smooth. Thus, it did not give them many places to hide. This way, it more or less affected their movements and caused them to move slower when crossing it.
It took them until the second half of the night when finally, they had reached the deeper part of the swamp. A man and a beast concealed themselves behind a thick bush. Qin Wushuang said in a whisper: "Do you see those piles of stones to the east and west? That is the entrance to the Barbarian Tribe. When we move, it will be impossible for us to evade all eyes and ears. Thus, I will be in charge of drawing their attention, and you will set the fire. You can do that, right?"
The Purple Flame Electric Beast said in a happy tone: "Boss, setting things on fire is my natural job, how could I not be able to do it?"
Qin Wushuang laughed: "Then I will lure all the guards away and you will go in to set the place on fire. Remember, don't burn the wrong place. You have to burn their holy temple of worship and burn all of their instruments used for worship, if you can."
The Purple Flame Electric Beast laughed willfully: "Got you!"
Qin Wushuang also did not have a good impression of the Barbarian Tribe. Previously, when he had gone to the Monkey King Mountain for the Spiritual Infant Fruits, he had been encircled by the three Barbarian Chiefs. Those three guys had been persistent and unreasonable. Now, since the Barbarian Tribe planned to declare war on the Monkey Clan, as a friend to the Monkey Clan, he would pursue justice without a second thought.
In this world, it was impossible to live peacefully with everyone. The Barbarian Tribe, as an example, were destined to be enemies. Thus, there was no need to be courteous or hold back.
With a light whistle, Qin Wushuang extended his arms and vaulted into the sky like the wind. Along the way, he kept making a light shrill noise that spread towards the surrounding of the Barbarian Tribe.
This light shrill had immediately caught the attention of the hidden sentries of the Barbarian Tribe. They responded with their own whistles to signal the alarm.
While Qin Wushuang kept whistling, he kept calling out: "Listen well, Barbarians, your five great Tribal Chiefs have been annihilated completely during their expedition to the Monkey King Mountain. If you know the situation, come out and surrender. We will take this underground abyss!"
His words exploded like a heavy cannonball across the Barbarian Tribe. Many of them could understand human language. All of them were shocked as they scrambled out from the deep abyss in an attempt to see the situation for themselves.
Qin Wushuang knew that the underground abyss Barbarian Tribe had a large population. This swamp area was only the main base of the Barbarian Tribe. And the other branches of the tribe was spread across many places in the Dispersed Praying Mountain.
However, this time, as long as they took down the headquarters of the Barbarian Clan. Those Tribal Chieftains would be forced to rush back to defend!
"Who's there?"
 "It's bullshit, our Barbarian Tribal Chiefs are that strong, how could all of them get killed? This person must be a spy."
 "Yes, everyone, let's catch the spy!"
 "Yes, for sure he is not up to something good coming into our deep abyss, catch him!"
Qin Wushuang laughed and unleashed all of his aura from his entire body. He purposefully continued to bait the Barbarians by letting out his aura and stirring the area around the surrounding hundred miles.
In a moment, one after another, those remaining elite warriors of the Barbarian Clan started to chase after Qin Wushuang. Apparently, they could sense that this one was a superior warrior, based on his aura!
Instantly, a dozen figures followed behind Qin Wushuang. And the ones that went after him were all the Barbarian Elders that had stayed behind. Each of the elder's strength was at the Advanced Stage.
Only, the current Qin Wushuang would not put these elders in his eyes. He kept circling across this swamp area and suddenly, Qin Wushuang stopped in an open area and stood there with his spear.
With a jeer, he turned around abruptly and looked at these Barbarian Elders that had caught up. A teasing smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Inwardly, those Barbarian Chiefs had all become somewhat alarmed when they saw despite being alone, Qin Wushuang still remained calm. One of the Elders with an eye-patch used his one eye to size Qin Wushuang up and asked coldly: "Who are you, do you know what this place is?"
Qin Wushuang laughed: "I am Zhang San, disciple of the Red Maple Human Clan. It's my pleasure to meet with you all, Elders!"
 "Red Maple Human Clan?" Those Barbarian Tribal Chiefs looked at each other in confusion.
 "Impossible! No one among the youths of the Red Maple Human Clan has such skill. You are from the Xuan Yuan Mound!"
 "Us in the Barbarian Tribe has never interacted with the sect of the Xuan Yuan Mound. What exactly do you want, coming here uninvited?"
Qin Wushuang smacked his tongue: "I am from the Red Maple Human Clan, I am afraid that you guys don't know, right? The Red Maple Human Clan had already made a promise with the Monkey King Mountain to deal with the Barbarian Tribe altogether. In order to lure your elite warriors away, they pretended to form an alliance. Then, they would break through your clan all at once! At this moment, I am sure that your five great Tribal Chiefs are being attacked without a moment of rest. I have come with orders from the higher-ups to make an announcement to your deep abyss Barbarian Clan. Those who surrender, we will not kill. Those who resist, we will kill without mercy."
His words had been spoken with seriousness and caused those Barbarian Elders to look at each other with dismay. For a time, they were unclear whether he was telling the truth or not. One of the Elders shouted: "This kid is talking bullshit. Regardless of truth or lies, for sure he did not come here with good intentions. Let's just kill him, and make plans after!"
All of these Elders regained their thoughts as they heard these words. Indeed, the Barbarian Tribe stayed true to their name as all of them took out their weapons and encircled Qin Wushuang.
As soon as the circle closed in on him, Qin Wushuang immediately felt that the speed of these dozens of Elders had increased tremendously. They kept circling around him nonstop.
Qin Wushuang stuck out his ancestral spear and locked onto that Elder who had hooted. Since this guy dared to hoot, then he would use him to create instill terror in the rest!
With a layer of cold light covering his face, he shook the long spear and suddenly, his body charged to the sky like a sinuous ray of light. The momentum from this dashing force appeared like the rising sun surging out before daybreak!
"Eighth, watch out!"
Almost at the same time, Qin Wushuang's shocking spear move had already arrived before him.
Subconsciously, that Barbarian Elder raised the iron fork to defend against the attack. He wanted to block Qin Wushuang's fierce attack.
Qin Wushuang shook the tip of the spearhead. And as if the body of the spear had increased by another length, it stabbed forward abruptly. At the same time, a ray of violent light shot out from the head of the spear.
"Go!"
Qin Wushuang gave a loud shout and urged all his power forward with his arm. The body of the spear touched the tip of the iron fork. The momentum of the spear pressed down on that iron fork and forced it to bend halfway in, like the inside of a bow.
The entire body of that Elder was dripping sweat. Just this little exchange of moves had made him feel as if a mountain was dropping down on him. His two arms felt as if it was suppressed by ten thousand pounds of force. It was almost on the verge of losing its function due to the extreme numbness. Both of his feet kept sliding back towards the swamp area as he was retreated using the momentum.
Beneath his feet, there were two deep trails as if a cow had plowed through the mud.
With a cold jeer, Qin Wushuang waved his arms and raised the spear to the sky. Next, he shouted loudly and increased the power again. Suddenly, as if he was using a stick, he smashed it down.
 "Go down!"
Letting out a harsh shout, Qin Wushuang smashed down his spear. Suddenly, the firm and upright arms of that Elder curved. His entire body had been smashed down by a giant hammer with his body being the iron nail.
With his feet collapsing underneath him, instantly, a gigantic absorption power emerged from the quagmire as he sunk down to his waist in the mud! He was terror-stricken, as a person from the Barbarian Tribe, this elder clearly knew better than anyone the devouring power of this quagmire. Even for him, it would be a death sentence if the quagmire were to reach up to his chest!


In China’s modern martial arts society, Wu Xinghe was history’s youngest grandmaster of martial arts. He was invincible. Because of a strange incident, he was reincarnated as Qin Wushuang, a poor aristocratic boy in an entirely different world with its own set of rules. With his strong will and passion, he began his journey to pursue the highest peak of martial arts!

The main character’s beliefs are:

Never comply with the aristocrats or the rich people, regardless of any situation. To only depend on your own strength because, eventually, you will have the power to be invincible.

Rise! Soar through the Galaxia! 

"Now. Where did that stupid child go?"

Iron Shark entered the forest accompanied by four other players, including Espadon's sister. They divided themselves into groups of five, some were led by the barbarian guards while others were left alone.

Iron Shark was annoyed and frustrated at the child's immature behavior. He wanted to become the strongest and make a name for himself but clearly, he was not talented at the game. The very proof was that even his father was unable to make him join the exploration or farming teams.

Suddenly, Electric Eel interrupted Iron Shark's thoughts. "My brother just sent me a message. He told me to quickly walk down the stream of water."

"Your brother answered you? That f*cker! He blocked me? Let's hurry up. Tell him not to move," answered Iron Shark.

The group quickly walked through the forest and soon, saw the small proud figure of Espadon. He confidently smiled but before he could speak, Iron Shark angrily smacked his head. "You little sh*t... Why can't you stay at the camp obediently? You are always causing trouble!"

"Ah! What was that for? There was no need to hit me. If I did not go out, I would not have obtained this new quest!" Espadon hurriedly took a step back as he readjusted his hair.

"A quest? What quest? Just what did you do when running away?" asked Iron Shark. He forced himself to calm down as he heard the word 'quest'.

"I'll make it clear! I did not run away. I simply walked around to get some fresh air. I met an NPC a few minutes ago. She gave me a quest and I can share it with up to twenty people. Here sis, join me!" happily said Espadon. He condescendingly looked at Iron Shark.

Surprised, Electric Eel briefly checked her interface and as her brother had said, she indeed received a new quest. "Marco, you should share it with Iron Shark. Without him, we won't be able to clear it. There is a reason it asked you to look for twenty more allies." Electric Eel apologetically looked at Iron Shark. She knew her brother was just trying to get on the team leader's nerves and she needed to do something.

Iron Shark crossed his arms as he did his best to hide his glare full of anger. 

Espadon briefly looked at Iron Shark. He did not believe he needed to help for this quest but he also knew his sister was smart. 'She is probably right. Furthermore, I want to see his face when he sees that only I will get a mysterious reward!'

"Fine. Here team leader. Don't say I am not a team player anymore."

Iron Shark grumbled. He nevertheless accepted the quest and looked at the description. His eyes widened. "There is a dungeon nearby? Where is it?"

"Somewhere down the river, near a waterfall," answered Espadon. He quickly added the three other players to the quest.

"A dungeon was actually found so close to the barbarian village. Could it be the reason why the Black Iron Village was more active and why the two other tribes decided to join them? The dungeon could explain the sudden influx of items. We should go and have a look and complete the quest along the way," said Iron Shark to himself.

"Let's go to the dungeon then. I will invite the other players to fill up. It is better to take the groups not led by the barbarians," commanded Iron Shark and quickly, the group started moving.

...

Inside the dungeon, Iron Shark and his group stood just outside the labyrinth. They were waiting for the other players to arrive to make up the numbers. After the barbarians started coming to the dungeon regularly, the entrance and the first floor was widened; it became much more accessible.

"So there really is a dungeon here... I have to admit that it was a good find. I will immediately notify the elders of the guild. If our guild can completely monopolize a dungeon, we will be able to get a lot of items!"

"Hmmp. Don't even try to take all the credits for it. I did all the work this time," proudly declared Espadon.

"I know," answered Iron Shark. He quickly started writing a short report. It was the advantage of being a player. There was no need to travel long distances to speak to someone, he could simply send messages through the system.

A few minutes later, the other players finally arrived and the exploration of the dungeon started. "Let's not lose any time, we've already wasted a few minutes."

A total of thirty players started exploring the labyrinth. Although only twenty could get the rewards, there was no harm in having extra manpower. Twenty others were still looking around the village accompanied by the barbarians. They had no idea that the dungeon was currently being explored.

The players were different from the beasts; they did not immediately find the correct way in the labyrinth. Some ended up going to the pond and another group entered the forest. It was only after a whole hour of exploration that they finally found the stairs to the third floor. 

The monsters of the labyrinth were not a threat to the players. The only real threat was the fact that the labyrinth was ever changing. It would normally not happen during the day but at night, dungeon masters were free to implement any changes they wanted. The weakest player was at level 20 while the strongest was Iron Shark at level 28.

The graveyard was not very dangerous either with the monsters' average level set at 18. Only a few careless players fell to the Plague Zombies. The team was not really proficient in combat but they still easily cleared out the graveyard before moving to the haunted forest.

There, the team lost a few other players to the surprise attack of the Treants. They became extremely careful as their number dwindled to 23 and slowed down their pace. They were moving as fast as possible before due to the time limit on the quest but now, they became cautious.

The Banshees and the ghouls were annoying but in the end, Iron Shark's team triumphed. Fortunately, the monsters did not respawn very quickly and along the way, they were able to pick up a few herbs.

After spending almost two hours in the dungeon, Iron Shark finally stepped onto the fifth floor, the plains roamed by the Death Knights, Abominations and Mylingars.

This time, the players lost their level advantage and considerably slowed down their pace. They could no longer carelessly rush in and had to carefully manipulate the aggro of the monsters one by one. They slowly made their way to the standing stones and although none of the players died, they expended quite a few recovery items.

"We are almost here! Don't rush. There are still three hours to complete the quest. Fortunately, this dungeon is not a large as the one at the cities," said Iron Shark. He led the charge, pulling a single abomination from a pack and the team showered it with spells.

Once they reached the standing stones, the players did not immediately open the entrance to the secret room. Instead, they used them as covers and got rid of the nearby enemies. 

"Alright. The area is clear. Quickly open the secret room."

"Rumble Rumble!" The ground trembled as a small entrance appeared. The players were excited. Not only did they find an unexplored dungeon, but they also found one of its secret rooms on their first expedition!

Many secret rooms have already been found in other dungeons and they all contained precious items but this time, since it was due to a quest, Iron Shark did not have very high expectations. He knew the main reward would be given by the NPC.

"Guardians and Monks! Go ahead," shouted Iron Shark. 

Guardian was an advanced class of Paladin while Monk was a class further down the warrior path. Both specialized in absorbing damage and protecting their teammates.

Five players rushed in the secret room followed by Iron Shark and the rest. Espadon recklessly charged in. He was a Berserker, another advanced class of warrior. He needed to quickly hit an enemy or his battle buff would run out.

He was about to run past the guardians when he saw the monsters hiding in the secret room. He froze, there were four liches floating around a pedestal on which a shiny chest was tempting the players. The problem was that the liches were level 30!

Espadon was still at level 25 and knew very well that he did not stand a chance against a level 30 monster. Even against other level 25 monsters, he would need a teammate to successfully defeat it.

The battle began. As soon as the monks entered the liches aggro ranged, the undead summoned skeletons and zombies to defend themselves. Iron Shark commanded the operations from behind. He was about to shout an order when he suddenly noticed a name being grayed out on his interface.

"What? Someone just died?" It was not an isolated case, two other names soon lost their luster, indicating two more deaths. 

All the original 23 remaining players had already entered the room. Five of them were standing at the back watching the entrance but they did not seem to have encountered any enemies.

"Be careful! There might be invisible monsters! Three of our comrades already died," shouted Iron Shark but at the same time, a fourth name was grayed out.

"Ah! Be careful, I just saw it! There is another level 30 monster! They are called Defacers. I just saw one using [Stealth]. They are targetting the lower level players!" A player shouted as he saw his comrade's body lifelessly fall on the ground.

"Boom Boom!" At the same time, the loud steps of an Abomination resonated through the secret room as one of them slowly walked down the stairs at the entrance. 

"F*ck. We are surrounded!" cursed Iron Shark. The players were already doing what they could but defeating monsters five levels above their own was not easy even with the numerical advantage they had.

Two liches fell but they bought enough time for eight players to fall. The Abominations were still contained at the entrance but the Defacers were running rampant in the shadows.

"D*mn! At least we can respawn directly at the Musclewood Tribe," cursed Iron Shark. The situation did not look good at all.

"Respawn at the tribe? How is that possible? You changed your respawn point without warning us?" exclaimed Espadon who was struggling to catch his breath.

"If you did not run away from the village, maybe we could have changed yours too. Do you think I am doing nothing when I speak with the barbarians? I already negotiated with them and they agreed to allow us to respawn in their village."

"F*ck!" Espadon cursed but at the same time, a cold blade pierced his back. He quickly turned around, swinging his swords behind. Thanks to the effects of his berserker skill, he was completely immune to pain and the lower his HP was, the more damage he would deal!

After being betrayed, framed and kicked down to the ground, our protagonist was sentenced to life imprisonment. But a few days later, a global disaster occurred, people from all nations migrated to underground refuges.

While the MDT conducted the investigation in the air, Hao Ren observed the movements of the "statue corps." The actions of the black statues lay perfectly before him, like pieces on a chessboard. In the process of observation, Hao Ren found one thing.
The ancient city was full of temples, large and small. There was an army of stone figures outside almost every temple, except for one. The grand temple in the middle of the city remained calm. And the colossi, massed from the other side of the city, seemingly bypassed the grand temple in the middle of the city as they moved toward Hao Ren. They did not even lay a foot on the giant stone steps that led to the grand temple.
Was the grand temple some kind of forbidden place for the colossi?
They did not know if the stone soldiers would continue to obey the ban after the invaders broke into the temple, but at least for now, the grand temple was the only safe place around the entire ancient city.
To get there, one had to first pass through the growing blockade of stone soldiers surrounding the grand temple.
Hao Ren told the others about his discovery, and almost without any discussion, they reached a consensus: go to the grand temple!
The MDT hovered over the city, sending the aerial view of the front to the holographic projection in front of Hao Ren. The 'best path' to avoid most colossi was clearly marked in the projection. While it was still inevitable to encounter a small group of enemies, it was at least possible to avoid being surrounded by the guards until they reached the grand temple.
They began to move in the direction of the grand temple.
Vivian was flying a few meters above the ground. Two swarms of dark bats formed two huge horizontal vortices, spinning behind her like a pair of giant wings, and hissing electric sparks shoot through the swarm, generating a powerful electric field that made one's scalp tingle. She was powering up for the next wave of magnetic storms, and the powerful bats were ready to unleash thunderbolts to deal with the lone colossus.
"Two hundred meters ahead, turn left, there are twelve stone soldiers massed, unable to detour. Let's fight!"
The MDT's navigation tips sounded in Hao Ren's mind and he saw the black figures assembling in the distance.
Old granite buildings crumbled on both sides of the street. Huge black colossi, one after another, trampled on the broken slabs and pillars and stepped onto the streets. As soon as they appeared, two dazzling electric arcs fall from the sky and bombarded the chest of the first colossus.
The black shell of the colossus' chest burst into a thousand pieces, and his body jerked back wildly -- but the next second it straightened itself up again.
The colossus' chest had a terrifying crack, but the protective shell at its core had not been completely breached.
Lightning alone did not seem to work very well on these colossi. Their shells had excellent insulation.
The statue looked up, its crocodile-like head shining with a pair of blood-red lights, seemed to give out a silent roar. It then held up the iron rod pointed at Vivian in the air, and the end of the iron rod quickly condensed into a dazzling energy ball.
But before the energy ball could be launched, a blue beam of light suddenly struck the colossus' body. The beam itself was only about the thickness of a thumb, but it exploded violently when it hit the target. In the glow, the colossus exploded into a blanket of blue crystalline dust.
Hao Ren raised the gun to aim at the torso of another statue and pressed the button of the Magnetic Concussion Bomb on his hand. As he hurled the grenade, he shouted, "Be careful! These statues can use magic!"
Hessiana was flying high in the air with a pair of wings spreading wide behind her. The blood-red scourge in her hand was dripping corrosive drops that would dissolve gold and iron. She wrapped her whip around the spear in the hands of one of the colossi and yanked it, breaking it open in a puff of smoke. She looked up and shouted, "There seem to be more colossi coming from the other streets!"
The MDT also sent in a processed aerial view of the battlefield. A clear street appeared on a holographic projection floating beside Hao Ren, showing a great mass of red light was moving between the streets, coming rapidly towards the place where they were fighting.
"Sure enough... These guys have a unified command!" said Y'zaks. "And they're blocking the path we took before... Are we under constant surveillance?"
As Hao Ren was about to say something, he heard a cry of 'meow, meow, meow' coming from the side, and then a small body hit him on the back. Rollie got kicked while dodging a colossus.
Her injuries were not serious, but she could not fight on.
And again, Hao Ren saw those almost transparent apparitions escaped from the fallen stone soldiers.
Soul? Or something else?
"Did you see those shadows?" Hao Ren pointed to a statue that had just been smashed to pieces by Lily's fists and feet. "When the statues fall, some shadows will float out of them!"
Y'zaks eyes widened. "Shadow? What shadow?"
Hao Ren was in a daze: only he could see it?
But he soon forgot about it. The list of unexplained peculiarities that had happened to him was endless and he just wanted to tell them what he thought. "I can see that after each of the statues fell, something like a soul floated out of them and seemed to be joined together farther away. That's probably why these stone soldiers can act in unison!" 
"High spirits? A mastermind network?" The demon girl sitting on Y'zaks' shoulder was instantly reminded of her familiar territory. "Uncle Ren, can you see where the floating things are gathered?"
Boom!!
A deafening explosion was heard nearby. Behind Vivian, the two increasingly bright 'lightning turbines' cross and shoot a huge electric arc. The energy level of the arc finally directly broke through the insulating shell of a stone soldier, blasting it apart.
Hao Ren immediately captured the transparent phantom that escaped from the stone soldier.
It drifted up into the air, toward the temple in the center of the city. As it drifted away, it became more and more transparent and illusory, and soon even Hao Ren could not see its trace. But before that, Hao Ren could roughly confirm that the 'shadow' was indeed combined with a larger transparent virtual shadow when it rose to about four or five hundred meters in the air.
It was as if an invisible 'jellyfish' was floating in the air, and the jellyfish was pulling back its tentacles.
"There!" Hao Ren pointed to the position where the transparent shadow finally dissipated. "There's something there! It's floating over the city, probably covering at least a third of the city!"
Y'lisabet nodded, and then, observing the distribution of the colossus in the aerial view of the battlefield and the movement of the colossi in the street nearby, and then began a swift mental calculation.
Lily rushed toward Hao Ren with the smell of stone and asked, "Landlord, what is Y'lisabet doing?"
"She seems to understand how these stone soldiers work," answered Hao Ren. "These statues should have a higher chain of command. We have to find a way to interfere with the system."
"Better hurry up," said Lily as she picked up a heavy slab from the side and smashed it into a black colossus not far away. "There seems to be another wave of stone people coming! We are moving slower and slower!"
"Don't worry." Hao Ren had great confidence in Y'lisabet. "She's an expert on this."
Boom--
A nearby building suddenly collapsed. The granite walls fell, a huge stone hand emerged from behind, and colossus after colossus climbed over the walls and fell into the street.
The bats behind Vivian made an ear-piercing sound, and the increasingly intense electromagnetic vortices swirled in two storms. Everyone at the scene felt a slight tingling in their skin: the new electromagnetic storm was ready.
Y'lisabet also finally finished her mental calculation. She pointed to a place in the sky and yelled, "In that direction! Throw the electromagnetic storm in that direction!"
Vivian did not hesitate. The electromagnetic vortices generated by two groups of bats had turned into a dazzling light stream. It was more terrifying than the electromagnetic explosion she had created in the temple. Just moments before the two spinning electric fields were about to spin out of control, she threw them straight in the direction Y'lisabet had indicated.
Lightning and a strong magnetic field erupted simultaneously at high altitude. This was definitely a powerful EMP.
The colossi were extremely resistant to simple electric shocks, but the oscillating electric field produced strong magnetism, which was enough to incapacitate the stone figures.
The same time the huge electromagnetic storm erupted completely, a previously hidden thing finally emerged in front of everyone.


As a person who is down-to-earth as well as a good Samaritan, Hao Ren desires to live the rest of his life as a benevolent landlord. Stumbling into a curious yet mysterious lady, he began his journey of “collecting” abnormal and supernatural tenants. 
His life only became more chaotic when he receives a labor contract from “God”. Discover the many races, myths and worlds that lie beyond what humans define as normal! This bizzare fantasy full of fun is sure to bring you on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions!

Jiang Liushi still couldn't believe it…His sister not only had become a paranormal being, but she had also become the leader of a survivor team. Nonetheless, it was not a simple survivor team. Jiang Zhuying had fully described the situation of her team. So far that team consisted of 20 people. It sounded like a small number, but Jiang Liushi was startled as there were 4 paranormals in the team.
In the previous town, Brother Yu, with his own ability, had become the local tyrant and could do anything he wanted. What would happen when 4 paranormals got together?
What's more, amongst those 4 paranormals, Jiang Zhuying's ability was the strongest. According to Jiang Zhuying's words, she was the "well-deserved boss".
When they were young, Jiang Zhuying was the leader surrounded by dozens of children of different ages, contrary to Jiang Liushi who was more low-key.
Most girls that were bullied would tell their parents and bring them to demand an apology. However, Jiang Zhuying was the exact opposite
.
At that time, it was just for fun, but right now she was a real leader. Leading a group of survivors was totally different from ordering around a bunch of children. In the post-apocalyptic world, the survival of a team depended on the leader.
Jiang Liushi asked, "Ying, what is your ability?" Taking Yu as an example; his leg muscles were well-developed, so he could run very fast, which was the result of his mutation.
However, through observation, Jiang Zhuying's figure hadn't changed, she was as slender as before. But because of regular exercising, she looked very energetic. Nevertheless, it was definitely it was not the image of someone with a strong fighting capability.
"Did you kill those zombies?" Jiang Liushi still didn't know about his sister's ability. In such a short moment she had crushed all the zombies.
Facing her brother, Jiang Zhuying always acted like a child, when she heard his question she was like an adorable puppy, something that had never happened before with the other members of her team.
She then proudly laughed, and slightly waved the iron rod in her hand. Instantly an electric current was being released with "Chi Chi" sounds, through the iron rod.
Jiang Liushi was surprised by the current that was still reflected in his eyes. "This…" Jiang Liushi was really astonished.
Even though Yu Brother had mutated, actually, his speed was merely better than a world-class sprint champion, but it had not yet reached the point where it was completely undeserved.
In the post-apocalyptic world, that zombies and mutant beasts popped up like mushrooms, paranormals' abilities like Yu's were enough to make sure that someone could survive.
But Jiang Zhuying's ability could produce electric energy, it was much more important than a mere body strengthening ability.
Human activity can produce static electricity, causing the body to be charged, which at best lets a person's finger be electrified. However, the kind of electric current that Jiang Zhuying just released was different.
"How is it? I'm awesome, aren't I? I've tested the voltage of my attack." Jiang Zhuying seldom praised herself in front of others, but with Jiang Liushi present, she was like a child who got full marks in her exams.
"How much can you release?" Jiang Liushi quickly asked.
Jiang Zhuying cleared her throat and said, "Right now, 1000V!"
"1000V!" Jiang Liushi gasped slightly.
The human body's resistance is constantly changing. The dry skin's resistance is so big that can reach 100kΩ, and even higher, but if the voltage rises to 1000V, the resistance will decline sharply to 1000Ω. Jiang Zhuying could attack with 1000V, so in terms of calculation, the current that flows through the human body is 1A, an exaggerated number. The power of her attack could also reach 1000W.
What does 1000W mean? Jiang Zhuying could keep releasing electricity in the power of 1000W for ten minutes, which is equal to the energy used to move 10 people who weight 60kg to the top of a 100m skyscraper.
The virus had mutated Jiang Zhuying's normal cells into electric cells. When those cells were connected with each other, a very high voltage would be formed. Compared with Yu, Jiang Zhuying's ability was obviously superior. Starseed had judged Yu's ability energy under level 1, but Jiang Zhuying…
"Release electricity again." Jiang Liushi said.
Jiang Zhuying mumbled, "Do you treat me as Pikachu?" Meanwhile, she released one more time.
"Didn't you like Pikachu best when you were a kid? No wonder you've mutated like this."
Jiang Zhuying curled her lip and this time she released more of her power. On the iron rod, the current flashed in blue and white, as if the rod was wrapped in a power grid. Her bright and clear eyes reflected the current, making her look like she possessed a different kind of temperament.
Jiang Liushi, felt that the released power should be enough…
As expected, just two seconds later, Starseed's voice sounded, "Detect level 1 energy."
Jiang Zhuying was level 1... The mutant boar was also level 1. But Jiang Liushi noticed that there was a small "+" following level 1. He asked Starseed in mind and learned this "+" sign indicated stronger energy.
In other words, Jiang Zhuying's power was stronger than the mutant boar. And Yu, whose power was less than level 1 was supposed to be signed as 1-.
"What was your initial voltage?" "Jiang asked.
"I don't exactly know. It's probably a 10cm current between two fingers. "Jiang Zhuying answered.
[So she has evolved.]
"Brother, where did you get this bus? Good job. And… You knew doomsday was approaching... How did you know it?" Jiang Zhuying got closer to her brother and whispered beside his ear.
"That…"Jiang Liushi thought it was very troublesome to explain.
At the moment, two knocks sounded outside the window, and the young man came, "We must go, boss! It's getting dark. "
Jiang Liushi looked back. Right, the light of sky had begun to dim.
"You can tell me later. We have to go," Jiang Zhuying said, looking out of the window.


Doomsday was approaching...
An ancient virus was released upon the world and from then on nothing was the same...
Zombies, mutant wild animals and people with mutant powers...
Jiang Liushi , one day woke up and found the Starseed, in his mind, a Black Technology which could assist him in various ways.
Its most important function? Refitting and upgrading vehicles!
[What? You thought it war a regular rundown minibus? Wrong! It was a Mobile Construction Vehicle (MCV) capable of massacring zombies, and everything that stood in its way, with its awesome weapons!]
Follow Jiang and his MCV on the road to survival.
