Chapter 183: You Must Stay Strong, Huang Tielan
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Edited by Aelryinth
The remnants of the demonic flower in Zhang Che were truly very well-hidden. Even the rainbow crystal wasn’t able to detect it.
Now that Zhang Che guessed where the problem lay, the rainbow crystal suddenly burst into action. That surge of violent energy was like a torrent, engulfing every single cell of his body.
Even so, the remnants of the demonic flower’s energy seemed to be deeply branded into Zhang Che’s genes. It was ever so difficult to remove even a hint of it.
Thus, that sharp pain that seemed to originate from his bone marrow kept tormenting Zhang Che, leaving him sweating profusely. If this continued on, perhaps he might die from dehydration, even if he didn’t die from the pain.
It was like they sensed the mark of the demonic flower on Zhang Che’s body was being slowly removed. The strong suction force suddenly became much stronger.
However, as the demonic flower’s mark was slowly removed from him, the rainbow crystal could now interfere in this matter, intercepting the pull from the suction force.
There weren’t any changes to the chaotic mass of light surrounding Zhang Che, however. He could still sense that he was flying towards an extremely far place in a certain direction, although the speed gradually fell.
“But, where will I appear at after I break free from the suction force?” Zhang Che couldn’t help but worry about his unknown future.
It was definitely impossible for him to reappear in the hunting zone!
The only hope for him was to leave this endless tunnel safely. No matter where he appeared at, there was a chance for him to return.
-What a pity… Looks like there’s no chance for me to enter Bei Du University. I won’t get to return to the life of a student…- Zhang Che thought resentfully. It wasn’t easy for him to decide to try for a university. Why would such a thing happen to him?

In the end, after an indeterminate amount of time, the rainbow crystal finally stopped transferring energy into Zhang Che’s body.
The remnants of the demonic flower were thoroughly purged.
Zhang Che suddenly felt that he could move again. The force that was pulling him through the endless tunnel suddenly weakened to a negligible strength.
“Damn, I want out!” Zhang Che’s herculean strength suddenly burst forth. He instantly broke free from the force’s pull. After that, he felt as if he broken through an enveloping eggshell-like substance. His body suddenly stopped and plunged down.
The wind whistled by his ear as he fell.
He shut his eyes subconsciously, rejoicing inwardly, -Am I finally out!?-
However, he immediately realized how bad of a situation he was in right now. Heavens knew how high he was falling from!
With a thought, a golden ray of light shot out from between his brow and enveloped him, materializing into the Swamp Crocodile King armor. At the same time, Zhang Che also waved his hand and summoned the Purple Jade Condor, commanding it to fly down and catch him.
Rustle rustle… Before the Purple Jade Condor could do a thing, Zhang Che crashed onto the crown of a tree in a dense forest, breaking countless branches as he fell.
However, with this buffer, Zhang Che didn’t receive any injuries when he fell onto the ground. He only felt the ground shaking slightly before coming to a stop.
-I’m safe now…-
—————
In an unknown world, a deep purple sky enshrouded the lands.
On a gloomy mountain summit, several foreign creatures sat on a large platform. Their appearances varied; some of them resembled malicious spirits, some as beautiful as the devil…
In the center of the platform, a huge beautiful flower about ten meters wide, so mesmerizing that it left one not daring to look at it directly, stood silently. It was surrounded by a layer of chaotic light, as if it was about to jump into another space.

Suddenly, the chaotic light around the demonic flower shone brightly, and then thoroughly collapsed. The countless petals of the flower swayed about and let out a soundless howl.
The devils and spirits around it let out depressed hums and each spat out blood in varying colors.
——
Another morning dawned upon Bei Du City.
Huang Tielan woke up early in the morning and did the weight-loss workout her mother taught her. After that, she returned to her room and washed up, then headed to the front hall of the mansion joyfully.
When she arrived at the front hall, she saw her grandparents and her father waiting there, each of their expressions grave.
Huang Tielan’s heart sank. She hurriedly jogged over and asked anxiously, “Grandpa, grandma, daddy, what happened?”
Her grandparents took a glance at Huang Tielan lovingly, before shifting their gazes towards Huang Juyun, indicating with their eyes for him to break the news.
Huang Juyun looked at his confused daughter with a complicated gaze. He gritted his teeth and said, “Lanlan, I just received a piece of news regarding Zhang Che. You need to be mentally prepared…”
Before he finished his sentence, they saw Huang Tielan’s body swaying, her face ghostly white. Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to roll down her cheeks at any moment.
Huang Juyun sighed inwardly and narrated the details of Zhang Che’s situation. In the end, he consoled, “Don’t worry, Lanlan. I know that Zhang Che’s luck has always been pretty good. He’ll definitely get through this. You don’t have to be too worried.”
However, not even he could believe what he just said.
After hearing that, Huang Tielan’s tears finally fell uncontrollably…
Huang Tielan didn’t know how she managed to return to her room. She sat in the chair blankly, her eyes spiritless, her face pale. She sat there unmoving, as if a statue.
After a very very long time, she suddenly raised her hand and wiped her tears off her face. She said to herself with a resolute gaze, “You must stay strong, Huang Tielan!”
“Nothing will happen to Zhang Xiaoche!
“You have to help him take care of his mother, and you have to enroll into Bei Du University’s beast card cultivation major and ask Professor Sun Qilong to cure Auntie Sun’s illness… you must stay strong!
“You mustn’t cry, and you have to lose weight. You’ll surprise Zhang Xiaoche when he return… How could you cower? You must be strong!”
As she mumbled to herself, tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably once more, but her eyes were no longer spiritless and confused…
All her sorrows were suppressed.
She stood up firmly and went to the washroom to wash her face, washing away her tears and weakness. What was left was only strength!
After exiting the washroom, Huang Tielan sat down silently on the chair once more. She opened up her personal terminal silently, and brought up the information related to beast card cultivation, silently reading it…

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.
