Chronicles Of The Shura Clan Chapter 351
Advertisement
After flying for about half an hour, Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura Gods finally made it to Hollow Island and landed in the outer area.
Even though they haven't entered the city yet and were just in the outer area, they were greeted by a lively and noisy commotion or atmosphere.
Not too far from them was an increasingly prosperous port where numerous small and giant ships were docked.
An endless stream of people could be seen coming out from many of those ships while others were going in.
Some of them were warriors while others were just regular mortals that haven't broken through the 1st Life Transition.
There were also another group of people that were unloading the cargos and other goods in those ships.
The security seemed to be very tight as well as there were many guards stationed at the harbor and making sure everything ran smoothly.
Even though Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura Gods didn't come here by boat but just miraculously dropped there from the sky, no one seemed to be surprised at the sight as they were used to it.
On the horizon, one could see a group of people flying towards the Island. Some were using their strength while others were using flying treasures or flying beasts.
Due to the powerful spatial fabric and gravity of the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe, only those that had broken through the 2nd Life Transition could fly.
As for the 1st Life Transition beings and below, unless they used flying treasures or beasts, they couldn't fly using their strength.
After landing in the outer area of the Hollow Island, Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura Gods didn't waste much time as they hurried toward the western gate which was not too far away from them.

Meanwhile, the Light Primordial Shura Gods took the opportunity to enter Ling Chen's Inner White Void within his sea of consciousness.
Unlike the Dark Primordial Shura Gods who were already accustomed to the human lifestyle and enjoyed doing things such as eating and drinking etc, the Light Primordial Shura Gods didn't.
As the western gate of the city wasn't too far, it didn't take them long to get there. And as for why they didn't directly fly into the city, it's because it was forbidden and Ling Chen didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble by barging in.
The western gate was approximately one thousand meters wide and three hundred meters tall; from this alone, one could imagine how vast the Hollow City's walls were.
"Admission fees, ten low-grade Star Energy Stones per person. You have to total of twelve people so you need 120 low-grade Star Energy Stones." Said one of the guards at the gate to a group of people that were trying to enter the city.
Without any hesitation, the leader of the group took a small pouch from his pocket and handed it over to the guard.
After checking out the contents of the pouch, the guard gave them a blue embossed book before he signaled them to enter the city.
Once it was Ling Chen's turn, he didn't even wait for the guard to ask him for the admission fees as he threw a small bag filled with low-grade star energy stones towards the guard.
After killing Cain and Armand, Ling Chen didn't forget to take their spatial rings.
"Alright." After catching and checking the small bags filled with low-level Star Energy stones, the guard handed out the blue embossed books to Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura Gods.
Even though Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura Gods were wearing hooded cloaks which somehow hide their appearances and looked extremely suspicious, the guard didn't even bother to ask them about their identities or show their faces.

From Cain's memories, Ling Chen already knew that it was the rule of Hollow City to not ask about one's background and identity.
As long one paid the admission fees and abide by the rules, they didn't care whether one was an angel or the devil.
Soon, Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura Gods entered the city. They all quickly flapped through the blue embossed books in their heads, which had two characters on the cover:" Hollow City."
Not only the small blue embossed book contained information about the rules and numerous influences in the city, but it was also a guide to the entire city.
There was information about the most luxurious restaurants and inn in the city. It also showed where the biggest market, casinos, and the red district were located.
Ling Chen didn't need the book as he already got this information from Cain's memories. However, he still took it just in case Cain had missed something.
After quickly reading through the book and made sure everything was the same as in Cain's memories, Ling Chen didn't waste any time as he hurried towards the location where the most luxurious restaurant throughout the whole city was located.
It's been so long since he enjoyed a good meal and a strong wine!
On the way, Ling Chen was able to see the beauty of Hollow City. He also felt a strong visual impact as he went deeper into the city.
Hollow City wasn't even considered a low-grade city yet it was very impressive. The buildings there were extremely well-built and Imposing.
Whether it was the large road and the drainage channels, everything in the city was very neat.
After walking for about half an hour or so, Ling Chen and the Dark Primordial Shura Gods finally arrived at their destination.
It was giant and luxurious seven-story buildings. On top of the entrance hung three words," Famosa Restaurant and Inn." It was the best restaurant and inn throughout the whole city.
Anyone could sense an aristocratic and noble aura from this place.
Obviously, those who could dine and stay at this place were the noblest and richest men in Hollow City.
It was around noon, and this was the busiest time each day for the Famosa Restaurant and Inn. Many rich and famous people wearing expensive clothing kept arriving and leaving.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, please come in!"
A beautiful and curvy young lady in a waitress outfit was bowing and greeting the customers that were coming and leaving.
When the waitress saw Ling Chen and the Dark Primordial Shura Gods, she hurriedly came forwards and greeted, "Welcome noble guests."
"Today is really your lucky day, we only have one table left." Said the waitress with a charming smile on her face as she about to guide Ling Chen and the Dark Primordial Shura Gods in.
However, before she could even let them in, a cold and arrogant voice suddenly rang out behind them."Stop, this young lady will take that last table."

The life of a teenage hellworlder
We've all heard of the trope that Earth is a deadly planet by galactic standard; and has thus honed humanity into a ruthless species bent on surviving at all costs. As it turns out, that trope is true. Sapient species that evolve on safe planets develop to be peaceful and compassionate - and the ones that do on dangerous ones become violent and selfish out of need - usually wiping themselves out. But obviously, not every violent species drives itself to extinction - resulting in them being feared and ostracized - including humans. The life of a teenage hellworlder is a sci-fi slice of life story that revolves mainly around Thomas, a sixteen-year-old New Britannian attending a Xeno high school, who befriends a lonely apex predator named Javqua. Getting written by two amateur teen writers, things may sometimes be inconsistent or be confusing - feel free to comment and point out these problems. Gore, profanity, and traumatizing content tags are only for minor events in the story and do not happen often. Chapters are around 1k - 2k words - pretty short, but that's because we're all busy with our own lives and school. Trust us - we would gladly upload 5k word chapters if we could. We tend to upload new chapters every Saturday or Sunday. Please consider supporting us on Patreon!

Museum of Deadly Beasts
Lin Jin never imagined he would ever transmigrate. And to such a peculiar world at that. Here, deadly beasts were regarded as sacred, and thankfully, he owned a museum for deadly beasts. “Master, this is just a dying little tortoise…” “What tortoise? This is a rare species that contains the blood of a Black Tortoise and could be promoted up to level seven.” “What about this shedding mongrel?” “Mongrel? How narrow-minded. This is a branch descendant of the snarling hound with a hint of Kirin’s blood. Take my word for it and sign the blood contract at once. I guarantee you that you’ll soar to success and be on your path to invincibility!”

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.

All resources were exhausted, and hope was all lost. When three-player chess that will decide the lives of billions of people was at its zenith, a portal appeared in the sky. Monsters, bigger than the biggest animal, harder than the hardest metal poured out of the abyss... Putting aside their differences, humanity united to fight against their common enemy. But the weapons were ineffective. The most powerful weapons of science could not do even the slightest bit of damage to monsters. While desperation reigned, science prevailed, and laser weapons were born. The first blood was spilled... The first monster was killed! However, it wasn't laser weapons that allowed humanity to win the war, but a piece of orb found in the monster's brain. When supplied with electricity, the orbs would turn into pre-determined objects. These orbs turned into weapons that could damage monsters, and the more monsters were killed, the more weapons were found. With the newly looted weapons and the determination of humanity to get rid of this disease, the monsters were pushed back. At that moment, a messenger flew from the portal in his radiant form. An Artificial Intelligence produced by the native race living in the Portal World... Called Mother AI by humans, this object used the miracles of the alien world to help humanity close the portal. With these miracles, humans awakened superpowers to fight against monsters. An unfortunate teenager, Miles Cross, was born with dormant Ancient Genes and failed to awaken his superpower. Instead, he used every means to get stronger...

Revenant
Everyone dies. Not everyone gets back up again afterward. The Deep Paths are a cursed place, meant for those similarly cursed souls whom the gods themselves denied the sweet release of death. Revenants haunt the underworld, wielding forbidden powers and often consuming those who lack the strength to join them. At least, that's the story that parents teach their kids up on the surface. Reshid can't remember what he might have done to deserve such a fate, but he learns quickly that there is more to undeath than the gods and their faithful preach to the living. Revenants have a unique connection to essential magics that allows them to develop their powers in extremely diverse ways. Wherever there is power, though, there are those seeking to wield it, whether they be governments and gods from above, or mythical elder races from below.
