Chapter 120: The opening of the ancient remain! (Part 3)
In the past, if some people didn’t believe Lu Shu could awaken from arm-wrestling Liu Li, they had to believe it now . . .
People who had not arm-wrestled Liu Li before placed the emphasis on Liu Li . Could they awaken if they arm-wrestle Liu Li? There was a slight possibility .
Meanwhile, Lu Shu was constantly gaining distress points not just from Liu Li but also from a large number of people around him . Just from this short event, his total distress points increased from around twenty thousand to more than thirty thousand . . .
"Liu Li really is my lucky star!" Lu Shu said with a face full of smiles . He continued beaming at the thought of gathering almost a third of the resources to light up his fifth star in such a short while .
Lu Shu could now openly use his class E abilities, while his celestial map and corpsedog had to stay hidden as of now .
Lu Shu felt that it was important and nothing wrong for him to keep his cards hidden and to keep his secrets safe from everyone .
They had already been here for five days, but the ancient remain still remained closed . Li Yixiao stood atop the mountain everyday, staring seriously and not even moving .
Just last night, gunshots echoed from the mountain before dead silence arrived again .
Lu Shu thought that this might be due to unknown metahumans planning to sneak into this restricted area . This was such a huge mountain so there was bound to be a loophole somewhere . It was something which could not be helped .
There were already battles even before the ancient remain was open, what would happen once it opens?
In the afternoon, the students who had completed the mysterious matter chapter advanced to the mysterious senses chapter together . Those who completed the mysterious senses chapter, however, did not receive the next part of training . Apparently, amongst all the Luo Cheng daoyuan students, only Cao Qingci, the only student with tier A aptitude, received the next part of training .

Could it be that they were certain limits to what they were imparting? But why did Cao Qingci get to learn it? Were they prioritizing him because of his superior aptitude?
Jiang Shuyi and Lu Shu were still wandering about in the military camp . Jiang Shuyi was more reserved and didn’t interact much with other students unlike Lu Shu, who was worlds apart from Jiang Shuyi . He could be seen chatting not only with students but with soldiers as well .
Jiang Shuyi did not really understand, "Did you really awaken from arm-wrestling against Liu Li?"
"It didn’t have to be him . I feel that it’s when my strength reaches a bottleneck, especially when I want to exert even more strength, I would awaken . After all, I just didn’t want to lose to Liu Li," Lu Shu lied without even blinking an eye .
Jiang Shuyi listened in awe, "That’s really impressive!"
Just then, a huge fog came towards the mountain, spreading all over the area .
The white fog was thick and nothing could be made out inside . Everyone was stunned and looked towards the origin of the fog .
The soldiers scurried frantically to await their next orders while form teachers of daoyuan class started gathering students from their class .
The original relaxed ambiance of the military camp was now gone, while Li Yixiao maintained his original position, looking at everything from atop the mountain .
What’s supposed to be here is finally here .
Li Yixiao looked at the thick fog from the mountain . He had witnessed many openings of ancient remains and had plenty of experience .
This thick fog was actually the boundary of the ancient remain, but it didn’t mean that however big the fog was, the world in it would be as big . He called these ancient remains little worlds .
The area inside was unable to be judged to be big or small from the outside . Only by entering the fog would know the true size of what was inside .

This fog looked extremely thick, just like a huge bubble . There was a layer on the outside, and whoever walked in would appear at a random spot at the other small world, just like everyone was taking a different path .
The world would only dissipate and people could only exit when the relic of the ancient remains was obtained . Until then, there was no way out for everyone inside .
The heavenly network didn’t know where these ancient remains originated and why they formed . But they did know that everything within the ancient remains was breathtakingly amazing .
Their camp was situated in a rather safe position, about a kilometer from the thick fog .
However, Li Yixiao suddenly sensed that something was wrong and frowned as he scanned the area .
He felt that something was wrong indeed . This ancient remain was very different and it seemed much bigger than others . The thick fog was still expanding without signs of slowing down, so he shouted, "Everyone! Start retreating from the mountain! Quick! Leave your belongings!"
Everyone was stunned . What was the situation? Why the sudden retreat?
The soldiers had to abide by instructions and had no choice but to retreat without any explanation .
Although daoyuan students were all over the place, they abided by the instructions as well .
There weren’t enough vehicles to transport everyone as everyone came in batches . There were only a few trucks so everyone could only rely on their legs to dash down the mountain .
But at this moment, the thick fog started expanding even quicker . It was like a huge wave gathering momentum towards the shore .
Li Yixiao didn’t care anymore . He was the first one to be sucked into the remain . The remaining students and soldiers were blanketed into the fog at the same time!
The thick, white fog only stopped when it reached the foot of the mountain . Civilians of Luo Cheng looked at the mountain . The entire mountain was swallowed by the fog and it was a sight to behold!
…
Lu Shu followed everyone’s retreat but the fog was too quick and he felt that he could not outrun the fog no matter how hard he tried .
The fog enveloped everyone in it . Suddenly, everything could not be seen and Lu Shu reached his hand out for Jiang Shuyi but to no avail .
After a short period of time, he found himself in a foreign place . Beneath him were yellow soil and wild grass . Not far away was a green mountain but all this was never before seen to him .
At this point in time, Lu Shu heard a sound from behind him . Instinctively, he ducked by bending his waist .
An unknown object wheezed past his head, missing it by an inch . Only then did he have the time to access the situation .
He was shocked beyond comprehension! Behind him was a skeleton chasing him with an ax .
Damn, was this the legend of the living skeleton? Although he had some sort of mental preparation, Lu Shu panicked when he really met such an occasion!
But the skeleton was not quick compared to Lu Shu . Lu Shu looked at the skeleton and deduced that it was in the middle of class F based on its strength while he himself was already in the middle of class D .
If this thing didn’t have any other weapon up its arsenal, Lu Shu could easily defeat it .

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
