A story of a young man, exiled, by every-one and everything he holds dear.

The year 2042, 15 years ago, the Earth experienced a cataclysmic event on a worldwide scale known as the First Nebula Invasion. 15 years later Aiko joins the same Essentia Academy, that Sachika also attends known as the Phantom Queen. Together they become Familiar and Coordinator to battle the ever rising threat of the Nebula.

The Underground Holy Spring was located beneath the Silver Commerce Tower, surprising Mo Fan. This was because the roof he met Mu Ningxue on was only one building away!
This Silver Commerce Tower looked like a straight, towering pentagon. People described it as a skyscraper, but it looked like a big pentagonal pagoda that was located in the center of Bo City.
The height of the Silver Commerce Tower was around two hundred meters. The entire exterior was covered in reinforced glass. Beneath the sun, it looked like the tip of an unsheathed sword. When night fell, the entire tower would be filled with brilliant lights and vibrant colors. City areas in the distance were still able to see its swirling rainbow colors in the evening.
It was considered a symbolic structure of Bo City. It was said that the super big conference hall on the top floor belonged to Mu Zhuoyun.
And Bo City’s heavenly treasure, the Underground Holy Spring, was actually located beneath the Silver Commerce Tower. The white and gold collar workers within the Tower didn’t know that this place even had a fifteenth sub-floor!
An elevator that seemed like the ones from a secret services headquarters had taken Mo Fan down to the fifteenth sub-floor of the Tower. Mo Fan was stunned to find out that this place really looked like a secret organization; they had actually dug out a secret protective underground hall.
The Underground Hall was built using special crystalline rocks. At one look, you could tell it came from the hands of a very credible construction master.
The Underground Hall had only one patrol squad guarding the place. The patrol squad’s Captain was also an Intermediate Magician.
An Intermediate Magician was guarding the entrance?
This showed just how important the Underground Holy Spring was to Bo City!
“Behind this totem door is the Underground Holy Spring. You are allowed to enter for a period of one week to cultivate. The Underground Holy Spring will maintain a cycle by itself, so don’t touch it. All you need to do is to sit in the middle of the Underground Holy Spring, on the leather mat, as you enter meditation or Control.” Mu Zhuoyun was in a bad mood as he said this to Mo Fan.
This Underground Holy Spring was originally supposed to be taken by Yu Ang; who would’ve thought that it would be taken by this kid Mo Fan? How could Mu Zhuoyun’s mood be good at this time?
Accompanying Mo Fan here was Mrs. Tangyue. Mrs. Tangyue slowly nodded to Mo Fan, hinting that he should go inside and enter his seclusion.
“Oh, I have something to give you,” Mrs. Tangyue said to Mo Fan as she thought of something.
“Something to give me?” Mo Fan was surprised.
Mrs. Tangyue took four different purple and red colored books out from thin air. The books were engraved with what looked like light specks from the stars and Star Path prints. It looked like some kind of completed Magic Diagram.
“Mrs. Tangyue, you really are magnanimous when you hand things out. This is a precious Star Atlas Book, and you’re even given out four of them! This really is making me, a rich provincial, broaden my horizons.” Standing off to the side, Mu Zhuoyun immediately recognized the books Mrs. Tangyue was giving away, his face turning sour.
“What is this Star Atlas Book?” asked the confused Mo Fan.
“After you have experienced the baptism of the Underground Holy Spring, you will surely not be too far from becoming an Intermediate Magician. I’m not certain whether I’ll still be here to teach you. Thus, I’m giving you these Star Atlas Books as parting gift, so you can have some way to protect yourself after you’ve broken through to Intermediate level.” Mrs. Tangyue stopped for a bit before continuing to explain the functions of the Star Atlas Book, “You already know that Primary Magicians are required to link their stars to form a Star Path. After a Star Path emerges, a spell will be formed.”
Mo Fan nodded, it felt as though he was listening to his teacher give him an even higher level Magic Class.
“After you reach Intermediate level, your Stardust will turn into a Nebula. The Nebula will be even more vast than Stardust, and it will have 49 stars in total. Intermediate Magic requires you to connect the 49 stars into a Star Atlas. Intermediate Magic will only be born after the Star Atlas has emerged…” Mrs. Tangyue explained.
Stardust turning into a Nebula!
49 stars interconnect to form a Star Atlas, which becomes Intermediate Magic!
Mo Fan’s heart silently remembered these crucial words.
“You should understand that completing the control of seven stars requires an incomparably long time to cultivate. The 49 stars’ difficulty won’t be just two or three times as hard. Even if you change your Stardust into a Nebula, you will still need a long time before you are able to cast an Intermediate level Magic spell. This Star Atlas Book’s speciality is that when you pour your intent into it, the Star Atlas Book will release a special attraction that will cause your 49 stars to form into the arrangement on the Star Atlas. Even if you don’t have enough power to take control of all 49 stars, as long as your Nebula has enough Magic energy, then it will be able to cast its Intermediate Magic spell!” Mrs. Tangyue explained sincerely.
Mo Fan’s jaw dropped: he never thought that this world would have such a magical thing.
With something like a Star Atlas Book, what was the point of Magicians bitterly cultivating Control? They could just bring along a few books and they would be fine!
Mu Zhuoyun looked as though he could read what Mo Fan had in mind before he coldly humphed, “Even if you had money, you still wouldn’t be able to purchase a Star Atlas Book! Your Mrs. Tangyue isn’t as simple as a regular teacher.”
Mo Fan looked at the mature and beautiful teacher in front of him, astonishment building in him.
Thinking about it carefully, a teacher who was able to casually settle the matter with a Stardust Magic Tool shouldn’t be as simple as just being a High school teacher. Furthermore, Mo Fan had witnessed Mrs. Tangyue’s Shadow spells; this meant that Mrs. Tangyue was at least an Intermediate Magician!
“You possess an Innate Dual Element, it will be hard for you to escape the jealousy of smaller people. These books are given to you to protect yourself. Naturally, if you want to use these Star Atlas Books, the prerequisites are that you need to turn your Stardust into a Nebula, and 7 stars into 49 stars. If not, the Star Atlas Book will absorb your body and turn you into a mummy,” Mrs. Tangyue informed him earnestly.
 _(Ed. Note: Ah, I think Mo Fan totally missed the part about becoming a mummy.)_
Mo Fan nodded his head in sincere gratitude, he felt really moved.
He and Mrs. Tangyue only had a regular student and teacher relationship, and yet, she was caring for him so much. It seemed he must hurry up and cultivate to the level of an Intermediate Magician, and then earn lots of money so he can marry her; only then will he be able to return this favor.
“Thank you Mrs Tangyue, I will definitely do my best!” Mo Fan said sincerely.
Tangyue smiled, her bright eyes had some expectations of him.
“You shouldn’t be too proud of yourself. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Pond of this Underground Holy Spring isn’t bad. However, it won’t be able to help you reach the Intermediate level. It will only give you a big push toward the Intermediate level checkpoint, if you really want to break through… Hehe, still far for you!” Mu Zhuoyun coldly humphed.
Tangyue no longer said anything, she had already given him what she wanted to give him, so she turned around to leave.
Mu Zhuoyun was too lazy to look at the kid that made his entire being feel like babbling rubbish. He waved his hand to signal to the protectors of the Underground Holy Spring to pull Mo Fan in and lock him inside.
“Pull yourselves together. Last time, the Ground Gutter Rat almost found this place. If the warm waters of the Underground Holy Spring were to leak out and attract calamity, then you guys will definitely be questioned!” the Captain of the guards, Liang Bin, shouted.
“Captain, don’t worry. That matter will definitely not happen again!” The other guards made a solemn vow.
This last thing Mo Fan had heard from the guards before he had entered the Underground Holy Spring made Mo Fan think of that One-eyed Magic Wolf that had almost evolved.
The One-eyed Magic Wolf had precisely acquired the leaked warm waters of the Underground Holy Spring, turning it into something dreadful. _With that logic in mind, if I was to cultivate here for seven full days, wouldn’t my entire being soar?_

He woke up in a familiar world that had vastly changed.

His familiar school had become a mystical school that teaches magic, encouraging everyone to become a mighty magician.

Outside the city, many wandering magical beasts and monsters attacked and preyed on humans.

His world of advanced science changed into one that praised magic. Despite this, his ambition in life, and his social status remained the same; one of the dregs of the society with a struggling father and a disabled step sister that couldn’t walk.

However, Mo Fan found that when most people could only practice a single major element of magic, he was a Versatile Mage!

Izroth was never the type to seek a confrontation willingly, however, he would not allow himself to be treated unfairly, especially if Orion wanted to intimidate him.
Orion had cut Izroth off before he even had a chance to explain himself and Kaz simply washed his hands of the problem even after Izroth had already explained to him that it was a misunderstanding.
While the books were scattered all around, there were not nearly enough tables in the library to hold all two thousand books unless they were stacked up all the way to the ceiling. Even though it may have looked disorganized at first glance to those viewing from an outside perspective, Izroth actually had the books neatly stacked into organized piles.
There were at least twenty of such piles scattered throughout the entire library. Of course, he had planned on returning every book to their original place after he finished reading everything on the first floor. After all, it would take him less than half a minute to return everything to its proper place using Flickering Steps.
However, his main reason for not putting the books back onto the bookshelf immediately after he finished was because of a one-minute delay before one was able to pick out another book.
Once a player picked out a book and then put it back on the shelf, they would not be able to grab a second book for one minute.
Izroth did not know why such a restriction was set in place. It may have been to encourage readers to choose a book carefully since they would have to wait a good while before being able to pick again. However, how long would it take him to read all the books on the first floor if he had to wait one minute every time he put a book back in its place?
But, what Izroth did not know was that the restriction was set in place by Orion himself. Orion believed that if one picked up a book, they should at the very least read it. Every single book within the palace library was a treasure to him and unique in its own way.
Therefore, the restriction was there to increase the chances of a book being read after it was picked up. What Orion did not take into account was someone with a monstrous reading ability such as Izroth.
Izroth, however, quickly found a way around that restriction. All he had to do was grab another book instead of returning it to the shelf and so he placed the piles in specific areas to make it easier when it came time to place them into their original spots. That was why it seemed so disorganized and scattered everywhere!
But before Izroth could even complete a full sentence, he was cut off by Orion and was not given the opportunity to explain himself properly.
"You said I was bullying you for reading?" Orion said as he waved his hand.
Swoosh!
A thick yellow book that was within one of the piles shot towards Orion, however, it stopped just as it was about to crash into his body and hovered before him. The yellow book was so thick that it would require the average person to use two hands just to carry it around!
"Have you read this book?" Orion asked.
"I have." Izroth responded without hesitation. He had read every book he touched within this library.
Orion's facial expression darkened when he heard Izroth's response. He created an opportunity for Izroth to be truthful, after all, even though he was furious at the young man before him, Izroth had managed to catch his eye. The number of people he met that were around Izroth's age that was able to simply stand before his Rhythmic Pressure skill could be counted with one's fingers alone!
However, he had only met two youths who were completely unaffected by his Rhythmic Pressure. One of the youths was a natural-born talent of an extremely powerful race, therefore, he was not too surprised as that much was to be expected. As for the second youth, that person was someone who possessed a gift that only came around once every one thousand years within the human race.
The young man in front of him had increased the number of youths who could resist his Rhythmic Pressure skill to a total of three! Not only that, although it was faint, that young man actually had a Source in its infancy stage and even now he could see it growing at an alarming rate.
But unfortunately, the young man decided to continue on with his lies, therefore, he would not allow him to walk away without some form of punishment. He had met plenty of arrogant and talented youths who needed to be taught a lesson in humility. So before he decided upon a punishment, he would let the young man make a fool of himself to teach him a thing or two about honesty.
"This book here is a fundamental book discussing the 255 laws of magic sequences. Tell me, what is the 103rd law?" Orion questioned.
Kaz was stunned. Usually, the Grand Master would have already tossed someone like Izroth out of the library and banned him from stepping foot into the palace or maybe even Amaharpe ever again! Could it be that the Grand Master wanted to teach this youth a lesson?
If so, then Kaz felt pity towards Izroth. Even he had not memorized something like the 255 laws of magic sequences by heart.
Izroth took a moment to organize his thoughts about the 255 laws of magic sequences. Although he had a perfect memory, he still had to compartmentalize everything or else it would end up being a jumbled up mess that he had to constantly search through.
After all, his main focus had been on simple memorization. He then planned to finish organizing his thoughts accordingly once he finished every book in the library.
It only took Izroth a brief moment to find his answer as he replied, "The 103rd law of magic sequences is that one should never cross an Astral magic cycle with a Nebula magic cycle, otherwise, you would only end up with a magic sequence that reverses itself and destroys your body from the inside out."
Orion raised his brows slightly in surprise. His answer was actually correct! However, could he just be lucky? There was only one sure way to find out.
"Next ques-" Orion was ready to give Izroth another question, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Izroth.
"However, this can easily be prevented by reversing the original order of the Nebula magic cycle." Izroth added.
Orion frowned when he heard Izroth's words. Was this young man trying to intentionally kill someone with such false information? If any magic caster even attempted something so reckless they would die a terrible death.
"Are you trying to kill someone?! Even if you reverse the Nebula magic cycle, you'll only end up with a spell even more dangerous then when normally trying to use the Astral and Nebula magic cycles together! Think before you speak such nonsense before the Grand Master!" Kaz scoffed.
While he did not know all 255 laws of magic sequences by heart, that did not mean that he was not well-informed about most of them, especially one as life-threatening as the 103rd law.
"Indeed, my assistant is correct, young man. With that kind of change, it may not kill only the user, but those around the magic caster as well. You should not tamper with the fundamental laws of things, otherwise, you will only be in for a rude awakening and the consequences will not be light. I would suggest you erase that thought from your mind." Orion said.
"Even if you shortened the time in between each magic cycle interval by 0.015 seconds?" Izroth said in a carefree tone of voice.
"All you'd be doing is delaying the inevitable! Stop wasting the Grand Master's time with such-" Kaz was ready to mock Izroth, but he was quickly silenced.
"Quiet!" Orion said in a serious tone of voice as he furrowed his brows.
Kaz was scared speechless as he immediately swallowed the rest of his words. Was it possible that the Grand Master was so infuriated by Izroth's words that he would no longer wait to punish him? However, after around ten seconds passed by and Orion did not act or speak, Kaz was lost as to what the Grand Master was doing.
After staying that way for around a full thirty seconds, Orion finally set his gaze upon Izroth.
"Young man, your idea is not bad. In theory, it could definitely work. Unfortunately, in the end, the magic sequence would still collapse. While the magic caster would not be harmed, the spell itself will become unusable and useless." Orion said. To be quite honest, he was impressed with Izroth's findings even if they were not perfect.
While one could not cast a spell successfully, at the very least, they could potentially halt the magic sequence midway without causing harm to themselves. This could lead to a more in-depth look of the 103rd law and multiple studies that could very well change the laws of magic sequences forever!
"Normally that would be true, however, I believe you're overlooking one very important detail." Izroth stated.
Kaz nearly fainted! Was that young man intentionally trying to provoke the Grand Master? Overlooking something? This was the Grand Master he was talking about! In order to become a Grand Master, one had to hold a vast amount of knowledge about all kinds of subjects. There was no short line of individuals who wanted to have a Grand Master as their teacher.
However, there were less than ten Grand Masters in the whole world! To say that someone capable of holding the title of Grand Master had overlooked something was incredibly arrogant and wishful thinking!
"I may be coming up on my years, however, I am not senile just yet, young man. I've run through it over one hundred times in my mind and the end results are the same every time. I can assure you that I have not overlooked any details." Orion said assuredly.
"Then, when you reversed the Nebula magic cycle, did you also account for the change in its strands due to its reversal?" Izroth asked.
Strands were tiny mana strings that were manipulated to form a specific magic cycle. For most players within RML, all they had to worry about was the correct order magic sequences, however, the system usually did this automatically during the player's cast time. There were even some classes who required no attention to magic sequences.
However, for those classes that relied heavily on magic sequences such as Valentine's Sequence Mage class, it could be considered a nightmare to learn. In order to cast a spell, one had to form a specific number of magic sequences. In theory, if any magic caster could master the magic sequences of their spell, the casting time for said spell could be reduced down to nearly 0 seconds!
But, before they could form a magic sequence, they had to use the correct magic cycles. However, before they could invoke the correct magic cycles, it was necessary to use the correct strand type. There were three basic types of strands, light, medium, and heavy. These strands dictated how much mana a player used when casting a spell and how fast said mana would channel into the spell itself.
Orion's eyes widened slightly from shock. Of course! When one reversed the Nebula magic cycle while using an Astral magic cycle at the same time, it would cause the thickness of the strands to change from heavy to light due to how the two magic cycles would react to each other! How could he have overlooked such an important detail?!
If he went over it in his mind using that small change, the young man's method would certainly work! If one used it, they would be able to completely disregard the 103rd law of magic sequences! In other words, the young man before him had just rewritten a fundamental law that was carved in stone for centuries! What terrifying knowledge to possess at such a young age!
Right now, Orion had tossed his anger aside and had completely forgotten about his original intentions to teach Izroth a lesson. There was only one thing on his mind at the moment, what else dwelled within the mind of that young man?

Her expression was strange as she sat there dumbfounded. She found it incredibly weird. Why had the lotus seed not digested and it had entered her Dantian and absorbed her spiritual energy instead? 
What kind of seed was that lotus seed?
If they weren't so far away, she would have gone back to ask the old man what sort of lotus seed did he feed her. Not only did it not get digested, but it had stayed within her Dantian and had obstructed the foundation she had cultivated.
The Cloud Devouring Beast knelt by her side obediently, its eyes fixed on its Master. It noticed that her expression was strange, but it did not dare disturb her. 
It had watched her come in suddenly and then cross her legs to cultivate. After she had sat down as if in a trance for a while, she stood up and walked over to the books and rummaged through till she found an ancient book and then left. 
Feng Jiu spent the whole night researching the ancient book. She read up on anything related to lotus seeds. In the end, she had only found a bit of information at the back of the ancient book that mentioned the chaotic green lotus seed. 
"Chaotic green lotus seed? How is that possible?"
She was dumbfounded. According to the information in the ancient book, in her past life, she was the head of the hidden world. She had only heard of the legend of the chaotic green lotus seed. But she had always thought that it was just a legend, not to mention that there is now a lotus seed hidden in her Dantian. 
She reached out her hand and touched her Dantian. Her expression was strange as she whispered: "If it really is the chaotic green lotus seed, then it's priceless. However, it is hidden away in her Dantian absorbing all her spiritual energy. Could it be that is how it needs to grow?"
She sat in her room deep in thought for a very long time. At least now she knew the reason why her spiritual energy kept dissipating. She knew that even if the lotus seed in her Dantian was not the chaotic green lotus seed, it would not do her any harm. 
However, she did not know how long she needed to let the lotus seed grow in her Dantian. 
With this in mind, due to her curiosity, even though she had initially intended to to spend more time walking around Nebula City, she stayed in her room at the inn most of the time instead. She entered the Spatial Spirit Palace day and night to cultivate her spiritual power. She wanted to find out how much spiritual power was needed to make the lotus seed sprout. 
Many days had passed, and it was now three days before the enrolment of new students at Nebula Academy. The lotus seed in her Dantian still showed no change, and every time the spiritual power entered her body, it dissipated without a trace. 
Finally, early that morning, she stepped out of her room and took a walk around the courtyard in the inn. She sat down at the stone table and tapped her fingers lightly on the table top, deep in thought. 
"Young man, are you here to enrol in Nebula Academy as well?"
A voice with a smile drifted over and brought Feng Jiu out of her daze. When she looked up, she saw an imposing man dressed in green walking out of the room next to hers. One hand behind his back and one in front as he walked over towards her. There was a strange glint in his eyes she could not understand. 
"Yes." She nodded and smiled: "You too?"
"Yes! It is the expectations of the elders at home. I can't not come."
He laughed and came over to sit down beside Feng Jiu with a smile in his eyes: "I have stayed at this inn for quite some time. However, I did not expect to meet you here."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows.


She, a modern hidden ghost leader of an organization which gathered insane prodigies proficient in the various differing skill-sets. Highly skilled in medicine and poison, executes covert assassinations, viewed as insane and demonic in the eyes of people of the world. Killed in an accident, and reborn into the body of a disfigured young girl.

What? Face disfigured, identity stolen? A return to the family dim and hopeless? Her identity can be given up, her family can be forgone, but as for the one who harmed her predecessor who inhabited this same body, if she didn’t at least make them scream in unimaginable agony and throw them into a state of wretchedness, how could she live up to her demonic reputation? Endless turmoil ensues and it’s a battle to dominate over all! See how she shook the world dressed in a suit of red, her sword up against the dominant powers that rocked the Heavens! Her name spread across the seas, shocking the earth!

Qin Yu is struck by a thought. He immediately makes that gaseous energy go back into his body. It was created by him via practice so he can control it with ease.

Suddenly --

A hint of ecstasy appears on his face, an extreme ecstasy.

A moment ago, when that idea sprang to his mind and he made that gaseous purple energy return to his body, the purple energy naturally came back inside him according to his thoughts. In the beginning he concentrated all of his purple energy in his dantian so this time he also moved the gaseous purple energy back into the dantian.

The centrifugal force in Qin Yu's strange dantian caused this purple energy to rotate about then spread out again.

A cycle!

A nearly perfect cycle!

A nebular maelstrom appears in his dantian. The purple energy inside his body continuously goes into it, rotates about by the effect of the centrifugal force then spreads out again according to the spin of the nebula.

The energy goes outside through his flesh and bones from the dantian then enter the dantian again by going through the flesh and bones.

It is a perfect cycle.

Because his dantian automatically generates the centrifugal force, a nebular maelstrom has been created in it.

"Ha-ha, Heaven is helping me. My strange dantian isn't a bad thing. Instead … instead it's extremely good." Qin Yu suddenly opens his eyes. They have been filled with ecstasy. At the moment he basically does not have to worry about the control of the energy inside his body.

Now he is extremely excited.

"Nebula, this nebula's rotation is near perfect, even better than the rotation that Master figured out. Ha-ha … this, this is really …" Qin Yu is so excited that he is inarticulate. Anyone who knows the contents of the Stellar Transformations would understand the significance of having a nebula whose rotation is even closer to the Way of Nature than described in the book.

Qin Yu takes a deep breath to calm down then sits down with legs crossed and starts to focus on practicing.

Even though he can automatically practice without control, if he concentrates on practicing like this, he will progress even faster.

The gaseous purple energy spread out of Qin Yu's body fills the area within 3 m of him. This purple cloud rotates unceasingly. It looks as if his whole body is enveloped in a purple cloud. This purple cloud absorbs stellar energy in nature then rushes into his flesh and bones.

When the stellar energy of the cloud pierces through the muscles and bones, part of it gets absorbed. At the same time, the flesh and bones are refined. Then this stellar-energy-charged cloud returns to the dantian. When it rushes through the nebular maelstrom in the dantian, most of its energy is gobbled up. The purple cloud then spreads out again.

In every cycle, Qin Yu absorbs the stellar energy to refine his mucles and bones and makes the energy in the nebula become even more powerful.

Cycle after cycle, Qin Yu totally immerses himself in that wonderful feeling. Gradually, after an indeterminately long duration, the purple cloud slowly gets lighter and lighter in color. But its energy has become even more and more refined. Qin Yu has been practicing wholeheartedly for a whole month.

After a more than a month,

Now there is an indistinct light-colored cloud in Qin Yu's vicinity, which continuously absorbs stellar energy. After being refined by stellar energy throughout this over a month period, Qin Yu's body has become even more similar to jade or diamond.

In his dantian,

There is a perfect nebula. This nebula is made up by various silvery grains. These silvery grains spread throughout the dantian. They are the essense of the vast amount of stellar energy that has been absorbed by Qin Yu, and also his source of energy.

By contrast, in the center of the nebula, there is a light blue flame.

Qin Yu, who has been sitting with legs crossed, suddenly open his eyes and stops practicing. The silvery energy flows into his body in an instant. The nebula, affected by the force of the dantian, is still slowly spining, only that it is merely refining its energy.

"A light blue flame, indeed, by practicing the Stellar Transformations I've obtained the Stellar Flame. It's pretty stronger than the Samadhi Flame." Qin Yu suddenly stands up.

All Xiuzhenists have a flame in their bodies. Generally, Xiuxianists call it the Samadhi Flame, Xiumoists call it the Devilish Flame and Xiuyaoists call it the Demonic Flame. However, because the Stellar Transformations is not Xiuxian, Xiumo or Xiuyao, the flame inside the body of the practitioner is called the Stellar Flame.

Qin Yu goes to the entrance of the Training Hall. It opens automatically at once.

A black silhouette instantly appears beside him lightly like a cloud. It is none other than Xiao Hei. For the last over 1 month, Xiao Hei has been all by himself and has been worried about Qin Yu. He was wondering why Qin Yu's closed-door training session had been going on for over a month. Only now can he put his own mind at rest after seeing Qin Yu go out.

"Big brother," Xiao Hei's eyes have a hint of delight.

Qin Yu says smilingly: "Xiao Hei, follow me."

"To where?" Xiao Hei asks doubtfully. Qin Yu says nothing and immediately goes in another direction. Xiao Hei goes after him. Qin Yu heads directly for the Weapon Forging Chamber on the 1st floor of Lei Mountain House.

The door of the Weapon Forging Chamber automatically opens.

"Big brother, you want to forge weapons?" Now Xiao Hei totally understands.

Qin Yu says with a smile: "Yes, when I found the In-rock Flaming iron chunk, Uncle Feng's Samadhi flame wasn't powerful enough so he was only able to make middle-grade holy weapons. Actually, In-rock Flaming iron can be used to forge high-grade holy weapons. I also have some high-class crystals so I can merge them with each other and reforge my Flaming Gloves and Flaming Sword once."

"High-class crystals? Big brother, you've got high-class crystals?" Xiao Hei's pleasantly surprised voice rises in Qin Yu's mind.

Qin Yu slightly nods then says with a smile: "What's the matter? Do you want some too?"

Xiao Hei nods repeatedly and says via his holy sense: "In my hereditary memories there is a forging method using the Demonic Flame. Too bad I don't have any good crystals. That storeroom's top-class crystals can only be seen. I don't know where you got these high-class crystals from?"

"Alright, how many chunks do you want?" With a thought, he knows everything about the crystals in the Menghuan ring.

In this spatial ring there are many middle-class crystals and some high-class crystals. Even though the number of high-class crystals is not large, there are still 10-odd of them and each one is relatively big, about the size of the In-rock Flaming iron chunk.

"One is enough. Big brother, can you let me choose? I want one whose nature contains electricity," says Xiao Hei.

Qin Yu makes a wave of a hand. 10-odd chunks of high-class crystals instantly appear in the Weapon Forging Chamber. Xiao Hei's interest is quickly caught by a blue crystal. He immediately pulls it over to him using telekinesis then unexpectedly swallows it at one stroke.

"Big brother, you stay here to forge your weapons, I'll find some place to forge mine." Xiao Hei says laughingly via his holy sense.

Qin Yu nods then picks out 2 chunks of high-class crystals, one golden and the other shiny black. After being refined by the Stellar Flame, the Flaming Gloves and Flaming Sword have become too small for him because many of their impurities have been removed.

Moreover, the fire nature of In-rock Flaming iron is not very good. When merged with the 2 metal-natured and darkness-natured crystals, the Flaming Gloves and Flaming Sword will become much harder and their radiance will dim. They will even be capable of absorption.

"Master already set up so many formations in the Weapon Forging Chamber. It'll be much easier for me to forge weapons." Qin Yu points with a hand while smiling. The Flaming Sword and Flaming Gloves instantly fly to the immediate area above the Weapon-Forging 8 Diagrams Furnace from his body.

At the same time, a light blue flame flies out from inside his body then floats into the 8 Diagrams Furnace. In an instant, the furnace is set ablaze.

"Heavenly Gate, 8 Diagrams, Orthodox!"

Qin Yu's hand shoots out several indistinct light silvery streams of stellar energy into the several small holes of the 8 Diagrams Furnace. In an instant, the 8-Diagrams Furnace brightens and radiates various rays of light, forming a mysterious written talisman. The temperature of the light blue flame suddenly rises --

Qin Yu gives a smile. The Stellar Flame has 2 forms. Through controlling the formation, he can turn it into the Ultra-yang Flame or the Ultra-yin Flame.

"Chi chi ~~~" At the moment, the Stellar Flame is in its Ultra-yang form. In a short while, the Flaming Gloves and Flaming Sword have been melted. At the same time, their impurities have also been continuously burnt out. Naturally, their sizes have shrunk a lot. Qin Yu points with a hand and the 2 chunks of high-class crystals also fly into the furnace.

Again the Ultra-yang Flame melts these 2 chunks of high-class crystals. When it has burnt up all their impurities, the crystals have become 4 or 5 times smaller.

...

Qin Yu remembers that the most basic forging method of the Stellar Transformations book is to use the Ultra-yang Flame to melt the materials and remove their impurities then to use the Ultra-yin Flame to mold them into objects. Even though this is the simplest method, it muddles him up, mostly because controlling the strength and timing of the flame is extremely difficult.

"Earthly Gate, 8 Diagrams, Reverse!"

After several light silvery streams of stellar energy are shot into the several holes of the furnace, the 8-Diagrams Furnace radiates a different light. In an instant, the temperature of the Stellar Flame seems to have dropped sharply. Now it looks ice-blue from the outside.

...

After forging for a long time, the Flaming Gloves and Flaming Sword are finally formed again. Qin Yu only carves 2 formations into them, one being offensive and the other being defensive.

He saw these 2 formations in a secret book in the study.

"I've got too little knowledge of the Art of Formation. According to that secret book, formidable experts can carve 9 offensive formations into a flying sword without a break, forming a cycle that is extremely powerful." Qin Yu thinks to himself. If Fengyuzi knew what Qin Yu is thinking, he would probably feel ashamed to death.

The Xiuzhen secret books Qin Yu has read are some top-class secret books in the Xiuzhen world collected by Lei Wei in the past. The 2 formations he just carved into his weapons both are extremely profound and secret.

When Fengyuzi forged these weapons for Qin Yu, he only set up a very crude offensive formation on them.

The Flaming Gloves and Flaming Sword are floating before Qin Yu.

Now these weapons have become dark golden, and have also become high-grade holy weapons. The Flaming Sword is about the same size as a common flying sword. Because it can be used both as a short sword and as a flying sword, it is extremely handy.

.....

7 months have passed. Tomorrow is the day the Qin clan has decided to go to war on. In a military base near the Black Water mountain range, the 4 marshals, Qin De and Qin Zheng have gathered together.

Qin De and Qin Zheng are dressed in brocade clothes while the 4 marshals -- Qin Feng, Jiang Tao, Fu Bing and Fan Yu -- are wearing battledress.

"Gentlemen, my Qin clan has been preparing for several hundred years for the eruption tomorrow. The 1st battle will be fought by you. Lei Xue County of the 4 Western region counties must be taken in 1 battle." Qin De says emphatically while staring at the 4 marshals.

Marshal Fan Yu is the only woman among the 4 marshals. She also has another identity -- the leader of the Black Water mountain range bandits.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The Black Water mountain range has been saving for several hundred years only for this one day. As soon as an order is given, 300,000 troops will attack Lei Xue County directly," says Marshal Fan Yu firmly. They have been occupying the Black Water mountain range for several hundred years to wait for this day.

They have told people on the ouside that they have 200,000 bandits but in fact it is 300,000.

"There's no need to hurry, Marshal Fan Yu. This battle must be won so I'll let the other 3 marshals to advance together with you. 300,000 troops of the Qin clan and 300,000 Black Water troops amount to 600,000. They will win the 1st battle like a dike-bursting flood." Qin De's eyes glitter.

Qin Feng says: "Don't worry, father. That Lei Xue County only has 200,000 troops and they are even stationed in the cities so it will be very easy for us to attack. We only have to keep a watchful eye on the Mu clan of the 3 Southern region counties because Lei Xue County is next to the Mu clan."

"Marshal Qin Feng, we have 600,000 troops. Those 3 Southern region counties only have 600,000 troops and they have to defend those 3 counties so they won't pose a threat to us." Marshal Jiang Tao says smilingly.

Qin Zheng on one side says with a smile: "Marshals, my father has made this arrangement also to issue a threat to the 3 Southern region counties and the 4 Western region counties. With an army group of 600,000 troops, it will be very difficult for those 2 forces to defeat you."

"All right, I'm going to depend on you for the 1st battle." Qin De says with a loud laugh.

The 4 marshals are also full of confidence. These top military figures then start to discuss with each other in a relaxed manner.

"Oh, Marshal Qin Feng seems to have reached the late phase of the Xiantian level. Marshal Qin Feng, you're not 28 yet, aren't you?" With brightening eyes, Marshal Jiang Tao says in amazement.

Qin Feng nods smilingly.

"Marshal Qin Feng is indeed very formidable. You've reached the late phase of the Xiantian level before turning 28. Among young men on the Qian Long continent, perhaps you're the leader." Fu Bing says with a smile. Fan Yu on one side also stares at Qin Feng with brightening eyes.

"Leader?" Qin Feng shakes his head with a forced smile.

Qin De and Qin Zheng heave a sigh. Qin Zheng says while looking at the marshals: "My 3rd brother reached the Xiantian level in external practice at the age of 18. Moreover, he even reached the peak of the Xiantian level. Even the famous Conqueror of West Chu was far inferior to him!"

At the moment Qin Zheng is indignant.

His 3rd brother was a genius. It is unfair that he died so young and, even worse, died as a total unknown.

"External practice? The peak of the Xiantian level? 18 years old?" The marshals' eyes pop out of their heads. It is common knowledge that no one on the Qian Long continent has ever reached the Xiantian level through external practice so naturally they find it hard to believe that an 18 year old young man reached such a level.

"Where is 3rd Prince?" Fan Yu asks curiously.

"To save me, Yu'er continuously killed 5 peak-Xiantian experts then perished together with Shangxian Wu Xing of the Xiang clan!" says Qin De. As soon as these marshals hear that, they all take a cold breath and look at each other speechlessly.

...

In the Wilderness,

"Xiao Hei, get ready. We'll go back at once." Standing outside Lei Mountain House, Qin Yu shouts loudly to Xiao Hei. Then he mumbles to himself: "It's been 7 months. I wonder how father and brothers are doing. Perhaps they still don't know I'm living."

Thinking about this, Qin Yu becomes even more eager to go home.

Having reached the Nebula stage of the Stellar Transformations and forged 2 high-class holy weapons, he already has enough power to go back through the Wilderness and, therefore, is impatient to go back.

In a galaxy far away, there is a kid with an innate inability to practice internal techniques. In order to gain the respect of his father, he resolutely chooses to follow the more difficult and painful path of practicing external techniques. As the years go by, he grows up, but what really changes his life is a mysterious meteoric crystal stone — the Meteoric Tear. This stone fuses with the young man’s body unnoticed, and he seems to undergo drastic transformations as a result. After that, everything is changed. Eventually his father knows that the son for whom he hasn’t really shown a lot of consideration possesses astonishing abilities. And there’s a lot more to come.

"What just happened? Why do I sense a fuming Blood Ruler?" asked the young man with a horn on his head, who was cultivating in seclusion in the Top Blood District.
Beside him was a martialist whose cultivation base had reached the Nebula-Grade. However, this martialist was very respectful towards the young man. "Blood Disciple Dunluo, that was a Blood Space Ruler!"
A slight hint of fear appeared on the horned fellow's face. He was no stranger to this Blood Space Ruler.
Although they had only met once, the majestic might of this Blood Space Ruler had left a deep impression on him.
His goal was to become a Blood Ruler!
Of course, becoming a Blood Ruler was no easy task. Although his cultivation was constantly improving and he had started forming his cultivation path, there was still a long way to go before he could become a Blood Ruler.
Furthermore, he wanted to become a Blood Ruler by cultivating one of the top five grades of cultivation paths.
It would not be possible to become a Blood Ruler if he cultivated a path below the top five grades!
In the Bloody Massacre Path, every Blood Ruler was a supreme figure, so they were all incomparably precious. Hence, the purpose of gathering in the Blood Spirit Sky was to nurture the most powerful core strength of the Bloody Massacre Path.
 "Why is the Blood Space Ruler angry?" Blood Disciple Dunluo asked softly, glancing at the Nebula-Grade martialist beside him.
"The Blood Space Ruler didn't want Blood Disciple Luo Yunyang to choose the Great Chaotic Hole Path, but Luo Yunyang did not agree!" The Nebula-Grade martialist could not help but sigh.
"The Great Chaotic Hole Path? How dare he choose that!" Dunluo laughed. "The Great Chaotic Hole Path… He really is very ambitious!"
The Nebula-Grade martialist sighed softly. Back in the day, he had also been an elite member of the Bloody Massacre Path. However, he had been slower when it came to comprehending the Origin Source Laws compared to his peers. Hence, he had only managed to stagger his way into the Nebula-Grade Realm with a grade-nine cultivation path.
Although he would still be considered very impressive if he were to leave the Bloody Massacre Sect and roam on his own, he was still too far behind compared to the people who had cultivated the grade four or five cultivation paths.
While his peers had already commandeered sizeable power and were even working towards becoming Blood Rulers, he could only ever be Dunluo's chief bodyguard.
"Exactly. If I'd had such cultivation qualifications in the past, I would have followed the instructions of the Meru Realm diligently and cultivated all the way to the Nebula-Grade."
The Nebula-Grade martialist smiled weakly as he spoke.
Dunluo only shook his head. He did not speak again. His cultivation time was precious, so there was no time to be wasted on a person who would be eliminated eventually.
In District One of the Blood Spirit Sky, the man with the golden dragon scale between his eyebrows stepped into a manor quickly, bellowing before he even entered the building completely, "Boss, did you know what… what kind of cultivation path Luo Yunyang chose?"
"The Great Chaotic Hole Path! Ha ha ha! He actually has a death wish! He chose the Great Chaotic Hole Path! I heard that as soon as the Blood Space Ruler heard this, he sought out Luo Yunyang personally and got really angry."
A young gentleman who was reading put down his book and smiled. "It seems that two of our brothers may be entering the Top Blood District this time."
"Of course!" The young man with the dragon scale roared with laughter. "I've always despised Dunluo. He wouldn't have been able to take the lead if he had not been in the Blood Spirit Sky longer than you, Boss."
"Dunluo is indeed stronger than me, Mo Long!" The refined young man waved casually with his hand. "Yes, he has been cultivating for a longer time than me, but this world is unfair. Don't you agree?"
The young man with the dragon scale nodded. The world had never been fair. Any of the bottom three people in the Top Blood District would basically be defeated and fall into District One if they encountered the Boss in the next competition in 10 years.
Who would face him would be entirely down to luck.
Mo Long smiled and told the young man, "Boss, I am going to work hard. Ha ha! I want to enjoy the feeling of occupying a castle alone too."
The young gentleman nodded and watched Mo Long as he left. He shook his head gently and mumbled regretfully, "Being at the Planet-Grade is the most important period of a martialist's life. A Grade-One cultivation is exceptionally powerful, but will it be that easy to cultivate? This person knows no fear!" As he mumbled to himself, the man picked up a pen and crossed out a name on the first line of his book.
Surprisingly, the name was Luo Yunyang!
In Districts Two and Three of the Blood Spirit Sky, almost everyone was talking about this. Although some people said that anyone born with talent should reach for the stars and advance bravely, the sarcasm in their words was plain and easy to detect.
"Blood Disciple, this is your Jade Soul Fluid for the day!" a delicate, pleasant maid said respectfully as she handed Luo Yunyang a cup.
When Luo Yunyang picked up the cup, he noticed traces of impurities in the Jade Soul Fluid.
The Jade Soul Fluid, which was a body-enhancing solution consumed daily by the Blood Disciples in the Top Blood District, was made by professionals. Therefore, it should not have had any flaws, let alone some impurities.
This Jade Soul Fluid cost 10 star dollars per cup outside the Bloody Massacre Path.
"Why are there impurities?" Luo Yunyang asked as he glanced at the maid.
"The person responsible for the distribution of the Jade Soul Liquid said that there was a small accident during the refining process of the Jade Soul Liquid. However, this will have no impact on the overall effect. The person in charge hopes that you will accept and consume the liquid."
Although there was some indignation in the maid's eyes as she spoke, her expression turned a little gloomy.
Ever since this Blood Disciple had chosen his cultivation path, his position in the entire Top Blood District had plummeted.
Although the managers and people in charge of the chores in the Top Blood District had not favored anyone in the past, they had never made things difficult either.
However, things that seemed easy to resolve had become incredibly hard for baffling reasons.
This was naturally the doing of the management group in the Top Blood District. They must have felt that there was no reason to fear Blood Disciple Luo Yunyang anymore.
Luo Yunyang couldn't tell what was going through the maid's mind. However, he didn't seem to care.
This was all related to his choice. Once he achieved tremendous results, everything would no longer pose a problem.
"Alright, you may leave!"
After waving the maid away, Luo Yunyang consumed the Jade Soul Fluid, the top soul fluid in the world. He felt a surging sensation in his blood as soon as he had a mouthful.
The residents of the Top Blood District had one cup of Jade Soul Fluid a day, and the residents of District One only had one cup per week. Meanwhile, District Two had one cup a month, and District Three didn't even receive any Jade Soul Fluid.
One could feel the intense competition going on just based on the supply of Jade Soul Fluid. According to the stipulation of the Blood Spirit Sky, the maximum number of people in the Top Blood District could not exceed six people.
The number of people in District One was limited to no more than 15.
Therefore, the competition that took place every 30 years was very important for all the Bloody Massacre Path elites.
There were still 10 more years to go!
Generally, people like Luo Yunyang, who relied on collecting a complete Fundamental Planetary Source to become the sole Blood Disciple, would get to enjoy the benefits of the Top Blood District for 10 years before getting demoted to District One.
Some people even dropped to District Three because of their poor cultivation base!
In the entire history of the Blood Spirit Sky, many talented individuals had been able to maintain their position in District One.
It was said that the purpose of this arrangement was to make the geniuses who had stepped right into the Top Blood District experience shame before becoming brave.
Although 10 years seemed like a long time, Luo Yunyang knew very well that there wasn't much time left for him. 
With a wave of his hand, a picture appeared in front of his eyes. It was the Heaven-Burning Diagram. Although this picture was quite different from the actual Heaven-Burning Diagram in the Sky Book Hall, it was still much stronger than the Fallen Autumn Leaves Diagram that he had acquired on the Chongyuan Star.
Comprehending Fire Origin Source Law was Luo Yunyang's priority now.
As he gazed at the surging blaze, he felt like every tiny flame was very much alive. Although the diagram shone brightly and consistently in Luo Yunyang's mind, he felt that there were too many things he didn't understand at this point in time.
As always, Luo Yunyang quickly increased his Mind Attribute. Thanks to the improvement of his cultivation base, he kept becoming more and more aware of the importance of mind power.
His cultivation of the Lotus Seal Technique had never been stopped. Thus, after entering the Bloody Massacre Path, he realized that the stronger a martialist was, the more emphasis they placed on the cultivation of their mind power. Many people were both martialists and telekinesis users at the same time.
The surging blaze slowly turned into several bonfires. Then, these bonfires turned into flame spots.
Scorching flames could radiate in every direction and spread extremely quickly.
The light in Luo Yunyang's eyes glowed brighter as he studied that diagram.
Time slipped by. Although the Blood Spirit Sky seemed to have frozen in time, many changes kept constantly happening.
For example, some people challenged the Blood Battle Platform of the Meru Realm, completing two consecutive stations. Some people never came back after leaving on a mission. A few even deteriorated in terms of cultivation base and eventually had to leave the Blood Spirit Sky and get assigned to an ordinary area, becoming common Bloody Massacre Path attendants.
These waves of events were no news for most people in the Bloody Massacre Path, especially the servants of the Top Blood District, as it bore no relation to them.
However, this type of insignificant happenings quickly came to an end. A competition was only held once in every 30 years after all.
This competition concerned the future of every Blood Disciple in the Blood Spirit Sky. Hence, it was called the Grand Showdown.
As the Grand Showdown arrived, the Blood Spirit Sky flew into a flurry.


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!

Jiang Xiao didn't take the Star Bead. On one hand, it was because it was similar to his Star Technique and would also affect the enemy. If he wanted to make the effects apply to only himself, he would probably have to waste another star slot and acquire another relevant Star Technique. He had very few star slots, so he had to choose wisely. 
On the other hand, it was because Jiang Xiao already had a better choice in mind. 
Although he did not take the rare Star Bead, Han Jiangxue still accepted it nonetheless because of Jiang Xiao's request. However, she planned to absorb it only after her abilities had been upgraded. After all, it would only be more likely for a Gold Quality Star Bead to be absorbed during the Galaxy Stage. 
There were only three days left before the start of school. Jiang Xiao initially thought that the school holidays were the best thing on earth. 
However, Han Jiangxue used her actions to show Jiang Xiao what a "mini table" was. 
Jiang Xiao began to despise Xia Yan again because when they bade the Xia Family goodbye after the dinner that evening, Xia Yan shoved a book of mock tests to him. 
Honestly speaking, the test questions were rather challenging and way more difficult than the exams that the Awakened had to sit for. 
Since he chose that assessment book, he had to finish doing it. 
It was Jiang Xiao's fault for not choosing "The Evolution Of Devouring". 
Hmm… 
In the past few days, Jiang Xiao had received a lot of concern from others via text messages. His former team members, the Zhu brothers, Yi Lianna, Liu Ke, and even Liu Bufan had sent their regards to him one after another. Jiang Xiao could not get used to it at all. 
The Zhu brothers now sported flatter hairstyles and Yi Lianna had become much prettier, while Liu Ke seemed to have figured out plenty of things as she began training hard. 
There were also plenty of people showing their concern about Jiang Xiao on his Weibo page, though he was unsure if it was because of Su Rou's live-stream. 
There were all sorts of symbols that included candles and messages praying for him to return safely. 
Jiang Xiao wondered if he should feel touched or terrible. 
After giving it some thought, he posted a selfie of him doing the practice questions and pretending to be hardworking, along with the caption: 
Jiang Xiaopi-mischievous-or-not 
just posted from Huawei Maimang C199
I love learning. Learning makes me happy. 
-
However, that Weibo post did almost nothing to comfort his fans and assure them that he was safe, and perhaps even caused public outrage. There were more and more candle emojis and the commenters seemed to be praying for him to live well. 
… 
Xia Yan's comment had somehow made it to the top. 
Hong Yan: "All you do is study. Is studying useful? Is studying going to bring you success?" 
At the thought of this, Jiang Xiao closed the "Encyclopedia of Dimensional Spaces" book that he was holding onto. Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan agreed to try and breakthrough the Nebula Stage today. 
Both of them seemed to have stagnated at the Nebula Stage for a long time and all they lacked was an opportunity for breaking through. 
The mercenaries' Star Beads would give the two of them a chance.
They decided to break through in Xia Yan's backyard's pleasant environment. 
Of course, Jiang Xiao was interested in being a spectator. He only managed to advance and upgrade his Star Power using Skill Points and he wondered if that would result in any shocking effects for normal Awakened. 
Would it attract lightning? 
Would it be like a crossover?
Jiang Xiao was looking forward to it. Strictly speaking, he was at the stage of stagnation. 
He was in the Stardust Stage Level 9, which should be considered the peak for ordinary Awakened. 
One Skill Point would bring Jiang Xiao to the beginning of the Nebula Stage. 
However, Jiang Xiao's foundation was too weak. When he was in the snowfield, he was shrouded in Star Power when upgrading. Hence, he had exhausted all of his Star Power. 
Although he was at the peak of the Stardust Stage on the surface, he couldn't support such a high-level Star Power. 
If he were to advance too far, he might get into trouble. 
Jiang Xiao did not want that. 
Hence, he wanted to suppress the progress of his advancement. 
At this moment, Jiang Xiao was just like a little squirrel who was elated about the 104 Skill Points in his pocket. 
He had finally found the essence of life. 
He had become a happy healer. 
In the afternoon, Han Jiangxue took Jiang Xiao out after Xia Yan blew her mobile phone up with numerous calls. At the entrance of the estate, she saw Xia Yan in her Land Rover Discovery. 
She looked extremely sluggish, leaning against the hood with her chestnut-colored hair slightly messed up. She was wearing a dark trench coat and looked just like a goddess. 
Unfortunately, her gorgeous appearance and hot figure would be the only things that others noticed. 
However, they wouldn't know that she was a silly husky. 
Xia Yan smiled at Han Jiangxue, ignoring Jiang Xiao completely. 
In response, Jiang Xiao thought to himself, You're pretending! 
Go on! 
Who was the one who replied to my Weibo immediately?
On the way home, Xia Yan suddenly struck a conversation. "By the way, Xiaopi." 
"Yeah?" Jiang Xiao asked while getting distracted by the passing scenery outside the car. 
Xia Yan glanced at Jiang Xiao's reflection in the rearview mirror and said, "When we go home later, let's test your Gold Quality Green Glow out in the basement. I need to understand it." 
What's there to understand? 
However, the description of Jiang Xiao's Green Glow had changed. 
In the beginning, it was "Strongly strikes the enemy and increases damage to targeted spot, adds slight repelling effect."
Now, it had become, "Added repelling effect" instead of "Slight".
Although nothing else changed, Jiang Xiao could feel the increase in damage done by Green Glow.
"We're a team. We need to know each other better. I want to experience the Gold Quality Green Glo's effect. If it's strong enough, maybe our team can have more combat strategies." Xia Yan turned to look at Han Jiangxue seated in the passenger's seat and asked, "What do you think?"
"Do you want him to be at the frontline?" Han Jiangxue asked with a frown. 
Xia Yan shook her head and said, "That's not necessary. After all, there are me and Li Weiyi in the team. A weak chicken like Jiang Xiao doesn't have to do the job. However, as a Medical Awakened, he would naturally be the center of attention and the target of enemies." 
"Yeah, you make sense." Han Jiangxue nodded in agreement. 
"Why don't you teach me how to use the sword?" Jiang Xiao asked while seated in the same position as he did when he mentioned the same topic previously. 
This time, Xia Yan's response was far from the previous one. She looked at Jiang Xiao in the rearview mirror and asked, "Do you really want to learn?" 
"Is it possible to attach Green Glow to the sword? In addition, I have been to the snowfield several times and I still feel that it's better to have a weapon. When my Green Glow was in Silver Quality, I had no choice but to kill the White Ghouls using a dagger." 
Upon hearing this, Han Jiangxue's eyes became gloomy. Whenever she was reminded of Jiang Xiao going missing in the snowfield, she would recall the dangers he had to face and begin feeling guilty. 
He was a Medical Awakened, after all. 
Although Han Jiangxue wanted him to be all-rounded, he was, in fact, still far from being so. If he didn't have any strong teammates by his side, Jiang Xiao really couldn't do anything in the snowfield.
He truly had too little offensive skills. 
"Don't think about hot weapons in China, I'm looking for a suitable cold weapon. Daggers don't seem like much. Your sword is very long, I think it'd give me an advantage against the creatures of other dimensions if I practice it well," Jiang Xiao said while scratching his head. 
"No problem, if you'd like to learn," Xia Yan said while glancing at Han Jiangxue inquisitively. 
"Look at the road." Han Jiangxue said coldly and fell silent for a while. Once again, she said, "Sure." 
"I'll teach you, then. Think about the sword being covered in Gold Quality Green Glow. It should have a wonderful effect. Even if you can't break through the enemy's defense, you can kill people with a flying stab. For you keeping a safe distance from the enemy is the mindset you should have." 
"But…" Xia Yan continued in a different tone, "You can learn, but my sword is a little radical. I'm afraid you will forget your identity."
Radical? 
You mean reckless? 
Awesome! 
My favorite! 
I'm not going to be a toxic healer. I want to be a Reckless Healer! 


It is a parallel world that is full of Star Power. Star Maps, Star Techniques, Star Pets, and the Awakened are rampant. Jiang Xiao, whose soul travelled to this world, has a special internal Star Map within his body and goes on to become a Medical Awakened. 
He initially wants to become a happy healer who can help his team members, but he ends up being labeled as a burden to the team. 
The entire story begins from the first week of High School. 
It begins... from that slap...

Lu Shu did not live in the house that the Song Ji gambling den helped him to purchase. He knew that there would always be gaps in protection. Furthermore, the Song Ji gambling den was not a spy organization. The news of them buying a house would definitely leak out.
Thus, when Lu Shu entered the house, he would be witnessed by countless people. Many people had been cheated by Lu Shu. Furthermore, they had come to take part in the Sword Hut selections. It would be enough for them to face these candidates.
But Lu Shu was different. There were many people in the palace who wanted him dead…
Thus, if others said that coming to the palace for the Sword Hut selections was difficult, it would be hellishly difficult for Lu Shu…
To be honest, Lu Shu did not know what frightening things would happen if he stepped into that house.
He brought Lu Xiaoyu to an inn. Since they were rich, they requested for the best room. After all, it was an experience. Coming to the Luniverse was like traveling. When they were outside the country, they would eat well and sleep well. This was what the people of China thought.
Lu Xiaoyu rarely went out. Thus, since Lu Xiaoyu was here, Lu Shu wanted her to experience the best.
The best room in the inn was different from what Lu Shu had expected. In Wuxia dramas, the best room was on the top floor with the best scenery. However, the room would not be very big.
But the inns in the palace were different. The best room was an entire courtyard. There were fake mountains and rivers. It seemed like the mountain villas on Earth. It was very impressive.
Lu Shu sat in the courtyard and continually ate fruits. The celestial fruits had advanced into nebula fruits, but it was still very tiring to eat them. There was just too much to eat!
Lu Xiaoyu sat by the side and settled the accounts. She had taken down all the income and expenses throughout the entire journey in her account book. She had even calculated the resources that Lu Shu had gathered from the large organizations on Earth.
"I think that you can upgrade the Wei Wu Army's weapons. You have thousands of weapons in the Seal of Lands. The Wei Wu Army will not use up many weapons. You can even bring the combat power of the entire Wei Wu Army up by one level." Lu Xiaoyu calmly analyzed. "If you want to sell them, putting too many weapons up for sale will disrupt the market. You won't be able to sell them for a good price. Of course, the money that you have now will be exchanged for weapons and armor. Our way of thinking is the same. Money is not important. What is important is what it is exchanged for. Thus, don't sell the standard weapons that you have now. You can use some to equip the Wei Wu Army."
"No problem," said Lu Shu as he ate the fruits. "These standard weapons were used to coax the secret practitioners. They are not of good quality. Do you want to give them the tridents? Chaos still has over ten thousand tridents to eat…"
As he spoke, Lu Shu felt that he was very rich…
But Lu Xiaoyu rejected Lu Shu's suggestion. "I think that we should wait and see. Although the Wei Wu Army is loyal to you, if you give them tridents, they might become over-reliant on their weapons. I think that it is best to give them the tridents after their abilities have advanced to another level."
Lu Shu looked at Lu Xiaoyu and sighed with emotion. In the past, she did not think about affairs like this. But now, she was planning intricate details for him.
Lu Xiaoyu was already very obedient, but now, she was forcing herself to be even more obedient in order to match Lu Shu.
Lu Shu could sense that Lu Xiaoyu was forcing herself to grow and share the pressures with Lu Shu. 
"You take the lead," said Lu Shu. "I don't dare to unlock the fifth level of Nebula yet. With the fruits I have now, I can light up the fifth star of the fifth Nebula, which is a high Rank One. But I am afraid that when I reach a new level of Nebula, it will trigger a heavenly vision or the sound of the Dao. Thus, I think that it is best to find a suitable place to do so."
For some reason, Lu Shu felt that something major would happen the moment he unlocked the fifth level of Nebula. He did not know how the sound of the Dao would be like when his celestial map advanced to Rank One, but he had an unpleasant premonition.
It was never wrong to be more prudent. Advancing in the palace would be too aggressive…
The distress points that Lu Shu had accumulated had reached hundreds of millions. Lu Shu thought about it. Had he really caused so much trouble during this period of time…
But Lu Shu realized that not only could he light up the fifth star of the fifth level of Nebula, Lu Xiaoyu had accumulated enough distress points to unlock the fifth level as well.
It was time to find an opportunity to bring Lu Xiaoyu and advance to Rank One together. The Luniverse was very chaotic. Lu Shu could only relax once Lu Xiaoyu had advanced to Rank One.
Furthermore, Lu Shu thought about it. Typical Practitioners would be able to fly when they achieved Rank One. Furthermore, their abilities and methods would improve. So, would there be any new changes when he unlocked the fifth level of Nebula?
Lu Shu was quite excited. This seemed like a major stage, where quantitative change turned into qualitative change. He anticipated the surprise that the celestial map would bring to him and Lu Xiaoyu.
At that moment, Yi Qian returned. He softly said a few words to Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu. Then, Lu Shu packed his things and went out with Yi Qian.
The palace at night was bustling. It was decorated with lanterns and colorful banners.
The people seemed to be free of troubles. The shops along the street were flourishing. Lu Shu felt as if he was at a night market on Earth, where people crowded together and walked around.
Lu Shu followed Yi Qian and finally reached a deserted alley. There was no one in the alley, but Lu Shu could sense waves of energy.
He looked up and looked at the wall of the alley. It was pitch black. Lu Shu also stood in the shadows so that the person would not be able to see him. 
There was a voice. "Are you Lu Shu, the commander of the Wei Wu Army? What have you come here for?"
Lu Shu remained calm and composed. He said, "It is risky for Rank Twos to participate in the Sword Hut selections. I'm sure that you know better than me. I know that a few of you have formed an alliance to counter the Rank Ones."
The person on the wall did not speak, as if he was waiting for Lu Shu to continue.
Lu Shu smiled and continued. "Although I am first, you know that I am only a Rank Two. Thus, I'd like to join you and counter those Rank One experts. How about it?"
Lu Shu felt that his plan was perfect. Although he was ranked first, it was indicated that he was still Rank Two in ability. It would be very pleasant if Rank Twos defeated Rank Ones and finished their operations.
At that moment, the person on the wall said, "No need to trick us. Someone from the Sun family has told us that you have attained Rank One."
Lu Shu was shocked. "What in the world…"
Could they just let him plan a decent plan? Huh?!
When Sun Zhongyang left in the day, Lu Shu was still curious why the son of a wealthy family like him was able to stand the humiliation. So he had been waiting for him!
