Chapter 113: Give Me a “Fighting Lion”
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had bulldozed the garden behind the villa back then, he had built a simple sunroom. In it, he had planted different types of hybrid spirit grass which he used in his research.
Since he was a kid, his dream had always been to be the father of hybrid spiritgrass 1 in the cultivation world.
He had been trying to develop a kind of poor man’s spirit grass that would be easy to plant and could rapidly gather the spirit energy of heaven and earth, which could be used by children from poor areas who had no cultivation resources.
Long before he had moved to Wenxian Garden, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had already been busy with this research.
Unfortunately, there were a lot of technical issues with hybrid spirit grass, and two months ago, he had become stuck in a bottleneck in his research. Since then, he hadn’t made any further breakthroughs.
But just when his mental fortitude had been about to crumble… a broccoli from Grandfather Wang had helped him regain confidence in his research.
The first thing that he had done after returning home from the Wang family’s small villa and calling Little Black was to replant the broccoli in spirit soil in the sunroom. Although Grandfather Wang had already cooked this broccoli… the spirit soil’s unusual power could bring it back to life!
This was the important revelation that the great senior had imparted to him on this road of cultivation – Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal felt that no matter what, he had to save this broccoli!
…
When the first rays of light pierced through the morning mist early on Sunday May 23rd, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal was already sitting and cultivating in the back garden of his villa.
Since replanting the broccoli, it had already become routine for him to sit before the broccoli in the sunroom every morning in addition to regularly doing eye exercises and watching guichu videos.

He crossed his arms and legs, straightened his back and stared at the broccoli steadily as his thoughts spun unceasingly… he felt that he was just a hair’s breadth away from achieving enlightenment on Heaven’s law, and from stepping out of Soul Formation into the Void Refinement stage.
Alas, he still hadn’t been able to figure out great senior’s meaning in giving him the broccoli.
While he was thinking about this, a message from an “Unknown Region” came in. Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal immediately knew that it had to be Little Black.
He opened the text, and as he read it, his gaze gradually turned heavy. When his fingers reached the bottom of the screen, he actually shot to his feet in astonishment.
He confirmed the content of the message once again…
After that, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal sucked in a deep breath.
Because, according to Little Black’s investigation, this Lord of Mo Immortal Castle seemed to have a connection to Immortal She Pi.
Was this the kid whom Immortal She Pi had left behind before being executed back then?
No one knew because there wasn’t any concrete evidence.
Even the result of Little Black’s investigation had just been calculated using a computer and by combining various types of data, and thus was debatable in itself.
Little Black had even highlighted the degree to which this information could be considered accurate at the bottom of the text message.
According to the computer’s calculation, the overall accuracy of this information was fifty-eight percent.
“Fifty-eight percent…” Even if this Lord of Mo Immortal Castle was not Immortal She Pi’s child, there was still some sort of connection. However, according to historical records and what little gossip Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had heard, Immortal She Pi hadn’t taken in any disciples before being executed.
Then…
This Lord of the Castle who was connected to Immortal She Pi – who on earth was this person?

Was this the reason why the Lord was so eager to obtain the stone ghost mask… for revenge?
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal didn’t dare make any assumptions.
For the moment, this was all conjecture… what was very clear, however, was that this was a huge problem that couldn’t be ignored.
He had already made his boast to Brother Ling and several great seniors!
He had already sworn that until he found the mask’s maker, he would definitely protect the stone ghost mask with all that he had!
…
After his morning exercise, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal went to carry out another routine task, which was to reinforce the seal on the stone ghost mask.
This was a cursed mask which was too unpredictable and hence was dangerous.
Thus, he had sealed the stone ghost mask in a room in the basement. The guard matrix outside the room was something which he had customized himself; it was imprinted with a seal which he had personally drawn in order to suppress the evil powers of the stone ghost mask, and four netherworld chains hung in each corner of the matrix.
The netherworld chain was an immortal artifact which Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had initially bought out at the market. It was hard and had the powerful ability to repair itself; there was no way anyone could run off with the stone ghost mask unless they cut through these netherworld chains.
The seal was utterly impregnable, but Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal felt that there were still some issues with his security measures.
Defensive measures had been set up inside and outside the room, and the room was even under tight surveillance; he could monitor the situation with the binding application software on his wristwatch, even if he was very far away.
But he still felt that there was something missing.
Cupping his chin, he pondered for a while before it instantly occurred to him!
Generally, holy artifacts or sealed objects would be guarded, right? He was lacking a guard dog!
After figuring it out, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal immediately made a phone call, which was picked up by the alchemist Immortal Toya.
Hardly had the call connected when he heard a loud ” boom ” over the line…
He knew without it needing to be said… the man’s furnace had exploded yet again.
” Cough…cough cough !”
Immortal Toya was coughing violently, presumably because of the smoke from the explosion — on his end of the call, it was an image that Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal could picture.
” Cough cough … hello, who is it? This is Toya, what do you want…”
“It’s Grenade-Throwing…”
“Oh… it’s Senior Immortal.”
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal: “Brother Toya, what are you doing?”
Immortal Toya: “Hm… just now I was working on a new type of elixir: a WIFI pill that once taken, will enable a person to carry a WIFI signal for twenty-four hours. Did you need something from me, Senior Immortal?”
Since he didn’t need to be polite, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal directly said his piece. Given his friendship with Immortal Toya, there was no need for him to beat around the bush.
After listening to his request, Immortal Toya was stunned. “A fighting master? Why are you asking me for a fighting master, you should go ask the Xiao clan. But the fighting masters that are left now are all just antiques… there is no battle qi for them to manipulate, nor can they use spirit energy — they’re completely useless. Now they just work for the Xiao clan as security guards and maintain order in the Xiao Family Compound.”
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal sweatdropped 2 . “Brother Toya, are you purposely being obtuse? I’m not looking for a fighting master… it’s a fightinglion 3 ! A lion! The thing you won from the Xiao elixir competition back then!”
Immortal Toya: “…”

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

The Devil's own sins
Writer updates available for free on patreon. The following account, dear reader, is a recollection and retelling of the story of the first imp. The last devil born from the original primordial pit at the dawn of time, and the lowliest speck of that first generation. It recounts the tale of Thozronnath the pitiful and his steady rise from obscurity, perpetually stuck as a punching bag for his betters until the day hell itself spat him out. The information presented here is pieced together from eye-witness reports and second hand hearsay, sometimes from creatures with more than two hands. I can not tell you with any degree of accuracy how much of it is true as it begins long before our time and it's true ending lies far unto the future still. I can tell you one thing though, it was confusing as hell. Cover: Illustration for John Milton's Paradise Lost by Gustave Doré (1866), a thankfully public domain image. Currently on hiatus.

The Shattered Circle
Aleyr Frostborn has survived a hundred prophecies of her defeat, breaking each one by slaying the champions of light sent to kill her. Amongst the forces of good, her very name is a curse, and with good reason. Beyond her own evil, it is said that so long as she lives, the reign of the Godslayer himself will last: the lich king who the terrified masses call the King in Black. While the kingdoms and empires that surround the blighted lands of the undead lands struggle to survive and beat back the tide of evil, the machinations of the Eternal Kingdom's dark court barely contain the bitter struggles for power between the forces that have made it what it is. With one foretold hero brutally snuffed out, another will inevitably arise. For Aleyr, the cycle only further embitters her towards the gods of good and all those who serve them. But the truth is that her downfall might be something much closer to home than their prophecies, those last dregs of mortality beating inside her own chest. With a thoughtless intersection between cruelty and mercy, she begins a chain of events that threatens to tear the Eternal Kingdom and her own loyalties into shreds. After all, many things can be broken, not just prophecies.
