Chapter 20: Battle
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After absorbing another light spot into his body, Wang Shuo couldn’t help heaving a sigh of relief.
As long as he could continue absorbing light spots, he could continue cultivating.
With the Primordial Chaos Skill at greater mastery, his speed of absorbing light spots doubled again.
It initially took about three minutes to absorb one, but now it only took about a minute.
To Wang Shuo, who was pressed for time, this was undoubtedly good news.
Time passed by quickly.
As expected, Sha Yi kept his promise. Even though his aggro range covered the entire independent space, he still stood motionlessly in the sandy land with the 32 sand soldiers every day.
Other than occasionally observing Sha Yi’s movements, Wang Shuo spent the rest of his time cultivating.
As his stock of Five Grains Pills dropped below 400, an inexplicable force emanated from his heart.
This force was completely different from what he experienced in the past.
Wang Shuo was perturbed as his tongue suddenly went numb. But strangely, his tongue didn’t become sluggish but instead more sensitive and agile.
About five minutes later, the force gushing from his heart gradually subsided, and the feeling of his tongue returned to normal. But he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Before he could figure it out, from his spleen, right below his left rib, a force similar to the one from his heart surged out, causing his mouth to itch.
“What’s going on?”
Despite much pondering, Wang Shuo remained puzzled. Then suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind.
He remembered the ‘Esoteric Scripture of the Yellow Emperor’ stated that the five viscera and seven orifices were closely related.
According to it, ‘the heart opens at the tongue, the spleen opens at the mouth, the lungs open at the nose, the liver opens at the eyes, and the kidneys open at the ears’.
This corresponded to his current situation.

“The description in the Foundation Establishment chapter is ‘nourish the five viscera’, so the enhancement of the five viscera brings changes to the seven orifices.”
Thinking of this, Wang Shuo felt relieved.
Most likely, he was already touching the threshold of Foundation Establishment perfection.
As expected, five minutes later, changes occurred in his lungs, liver, and kidneys one after another.
During the process, Wang Shuo felt his nose, eyes, and ears change.
When the changes finally ceased, within his five viscera, powerful energy erupted like a volcano.
“Breakthrough!”
Wang Shuo couldn’t be more familiar with this feeling.
But the improvement brought by this breakthrough was even more terrifying than the previous three combined.
After an unknown period, Wang Shuo suddenly opened his eyes.
At this moment, the dazzling light in his eyes had already disappeared. In its place was a mysterious luster that glistened like a gem. At a glance, you wouldn’t be able to see the bottom of his gaze.
Wang Shuo didn’t immediately sense the changes in his strength.
Because at this moment, he found that the world before his eyes seemed to have changed.
It was as if a film had been torn off from his five senses.
His hearing, vision, and smell underwent earth-shaking changes.
His field of vision broadened by leaps and bounds, and everything within a hundred meters was clear as day in his eyes.
The soft rustling of the wind brushed past his ears, and a clear image appeared in his mind. It was a drooping branch swaying gently with the wind.
Dozens of smells intertwined in his nostrils, but each smell seemed to have a line connecting to its source…
[The first stage of your Primordial Chaos Skill has reached the perfection realm!]
[You learn the skill—Heart Mirror!]
[Primordial Chaos Skill]
Stage 1: Foundation Establishment (Perfection)
Description: Nourish the five viscera to establish a firm foundation and cultivate the soul.
Breakthrough Requirements: 1. Physique 3-4, Breakthrough Pill (Yellow Tier) x1; 2. Physique 5-6

System Prompt: You have reached the limits of the cultivation technique. You can complete the advancement by consuming a Breakthrough Pill.
Wang Shuo tried to absorb light spots again, but he could no longer absorb them.
“Foundation Establishment perfection can only raise your Physique to 4.5?”
Wang Shuo found it very strange. Since Foundation Establishment perfection only raised his Physique to 4.5, what was the point of the second advancement condition?
“Or does the remaining attribute points require external help? Pills? Bloodline?”
After thinking for a while, he still couldn’t figure it out. Alas, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart and check the new skill he learned—Heart Mirror.
[Heart Mirror: Combining sight, hearing, smell, touch… you gain clarity of sight, allowing you to detect the enemy’s movements.]
The appearance of the new skill finally eased the gloominess in his heart.
But it was not a big surprise.
When his Physique had broken through to 3 points, he had already comprehended the ability to distinguish positions from sounds.
Heart Mirror seemed like an enhanced version. But for him at this moment, it was not much different from his previous auditory position tracking.
As he gazed at the blazing sun hanging high in the sky, resolution gradually condensed in his eyes.
Although there was still more than a day left until the agreed time, there was no point in waiting since his strength had reached its limit.
“Let’s see how strong I am!”
With a light tap of his foot, Wang Shuo bounced up from the ground with a burst of elastic strength.
He stretched out his limbs, and an unprecedented force surged forth.
When Wang Shou felt how his power was several times stronger than before, his confidence solidified.
…
Sha Yi slowly raised his head. “Young man, have you made your decision?”
“Of course!” Wang Shuo grinned, and his figure suddenly vanished.
The next instant, a green staff appeared above Sha Yi’s head.
“Kill!”
Sha Yi’s voice thundered as his saber slashed forth like a gale.
Clang!
Yellow sand flew all over and then rained down. The layer of sand on the saber cracked and fell off, revealing the glistening sharp blade underneath.
Wang Shuo flipped backward. As he landed, he continued charging forward without stopping.
On the other hand, Sha Yi stumbled backward a few steps as he resisted the blow from Wang Shuo’s staff.
At this moment, the 32 sand soldiers, who were originally like sand statues, immediately brandished their halberds and then defended Sha Yi behind them while surrounding and attacking Wang Shuo.
The sand soldiers were extremely fast, not a bit inferior to the three green-robed cat demons from before. But critically, their coordination amplified their strength, leaving the cat demons in the dust.
The 32 halberds were like precise machines, and their attacks were divided clearly. They poked, stabbed, sliced, or slashed at Wang Shou, sealing every single vital point of his body in an instant.
From the deafening clash, it was evident that their strength was not to be underestimated.
“Fortunately, I didn’t act rashly earlier!”
Shock crashed through Wang Shuo. If it was before, he would have been diced into dozens of pieces by now.
“But now…!”
As Wang Shu focused, time seemed to stretch out.
Within his sight, the precise and swift attacks instantly slowed.

Clang!
Several metallic crashes rang out, almost fusing into a single eruption of sound. Then seven broken metal halberds mixed with a rain of sand crashed onto the surrounding sand soldiers.
The originally impeccable and precise formation instantly cracked.
With movements as swift as lightning, Wang Shuo shuttled back and forth with his staff in hand. As a green shadow weaved through the army, the 32 sand soldiers were thrown into chaos.

The tribal queen and the Medic
The duty of a medic is to help those in need, no matter who they are. So after a bloody battle between imperial forces and Native Amazonians, Jaison went back to the battlefield to search for survivors. It starts to rain and the exhausted young man takes shelter upon a hill and under a tree, that is when he meets a beautiful Amazonian whose warriors need help. Being a medic he decides to help, what could possibly go wrong. Bit slow on updating at the moment since I am rewriting some parts and making some new parts for the story. I am also now making a story called Amazonian and her captive which I want to be somewhat like this story, just high quality and with a better story. Coming soon: Updating and adding new chapters. I also have a blog spot where I only upload images based of the stories I write.

A collection of my Reddit's Writing Prompts replies. This is a cleaned collection of various prompts I have replied to over the years. Some will just have grammar and spelling corrected. Others will get expanded. Some are simple, especially my early ones. Many of the later submissions are a complete short story. Most are just a self-contained story, but I will carry over the existing ideas if the prompt inspires something. Though I hope that some will become more than a simple prompt submission. https://old.reddit.com/r/SilverLuckyScriptures/ Moved over to Royal Roads as the UI is superior for naviation and enjoyment.

8 166The Genre of My Life Was Randomized?
The wheel spun and the genre changed. In every chapter, a new canvas made up of a thousand words was formed. I, the creator, do not know the future of this novel. I, the author, is but a mere slave that writes and creates what the wheel has given. What would happen after? What fate awaits the main character? When would you encounter the next chapter? Besides the latter, only the wheel could answer. Author's Note:Salutations dear reader. I'd like to dissuade you from reading this novel due to the following facts: 1. I am an amateur/new/beginner writer so it could be said that I don't know what I'm doing. 2. This novel is something which I wrote in order to hone my skills in adaptability, creativity, and writing in of itself. 3. Every chapter was made after spinning a wheel with the genres: Action, Horror, Romance, Comedy, Fantasy (as of writing) twice. The genres then would be showed in the chapter through theme, part of the story, flow, character, or whatever man idk. In case the wheel would show the same genre twice, the chapter itself would have the result as the main theme of the story with the other genres being free to use in order to fully show the theme. 4. I'm basically yoloing the story, trying to make sense of it even with the randomness of the current and future chapters; I swear I'm not a masochi.. *ahem* moving on, a variable left by the previous chapter won't suddenly just disappear because the next chapter doesn't have the same genre as before, meaning if a character that fits a genre was shown on let's say "Chapter 1", said character wouldn't just disappear or cease to exist for no reason at "Chapter 2" or the following chapters just because the character doesn't fit the genres. To make it short this isn't a collection of short stories but one big story instead. 5. Etc.
