Chapter 305: Solving the Hidden Problem in Nanyu City
The Beast God Cult had left them in Nanyu City to create chaos, not to fight.
At night, in the dirty alleys of Nanyu City, the member of the Beast God Cult, Czech, was fleeing frantically.
Czech could not have thought of it.
During the day, he had seen with his own eyes that his parishioner had been taken away by a giant black eagle that had descended from the sky.
If he had not been lucky enough to run into a shop on the side of the road to use the toilet, he might have also been taken away.
Because he was afraid of being caught, he had found a residence to stay in.
But just now, he had seen the members of Skylight City’s emergency team leading the search upstairs.
Czech knew very well that in the face of the elite of the Southwest Military’s emergency team, his spirit-type pet beast would not be of any use.
So, he ran out again.
It was very dark tonight, and he could not see his fingers.
This kind of darkness made Czech feel extremely at ease.
“The sky is so dark. As long as I’m careful, I shouldn’t be discovered.” Leaning against the damp wall of the alley, he looked at the sky without any stars or moon, and let out a long sigh of relief. “It’s so dark. Even that huge black eagle definitely won’t be able to discover me.”
As soon as the Czech finished speaking, he heard an ear-piercing howl of the wind.
A pair of giant claws descended from the sky.
He looked at the giant black eagle in front of him in horror, a hint of warmth in his crotch.
The entire night, the members of the Beast God Cult within the army of Nanyu City had been wiped out cleanly.
Out of the seven Beast Masters hiding in the city, four had been caught, and three were still missing.
Hearing Baker’s report, Lugh said in a low voice, “The remaining three aren’t very strong. They only know how to hide. Your Nanyu City Army will continue to capture them.”
Baker patted his chest and promised, “Yes, Captain Lugh. Our Nanyu City will definitely capture them.”
Lugh looked at Lucy and said, “Tell our brothers that we’ll be leaving Nanyu City tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, Major.”
“What?” Baker quickly asked, “Captain Lugh is here. Why are you leaving?”

“There’s another mission.”
“I understand.”
Baker tactfully didn’t pursue the matter any further. Instead, he went to complete the mission at hand.
Hall was dead. The outer city of Nanyu City was severely damaged. Countless residents of the outer city were killed and injured. There were also many soldiers who were killed in battle. They still needed to continue hunting down the escaped prisoners of the Beast God Cult. Baker was also very busy right now.
After Baker left, only Lugh and the other three Star Glory Beast Masters were left in the office.
Lugh asked, “Where are we going to the next city?”
Their mission was to exterminate the members of the Beast God Cult, not to stabilize the security of Nanyu City.
There was no need to waste time for the three small fries of the Beast God Cult.
Turner unfolded a military map of the Southwest Region and placed it on the table. He pointed at the red dot on the map, which was not far from Nanyu City and was close to the Western Military Region, and said, “We should go to Stone City.”
“Stone City?” Lugh nodded. “Indeed, Stone City is very important.”
In the Southwest, the terrain was complicated, and there were many mountains and hills.
From the West to the Southwest, it had been proven that the safest route was through Stone City.
Most of the worm trains from the West to the Southwest would pass through Stone City.
The Beast God Cult had infiltrated from the West to the Southwest, so Stone City was probably their first stop.
Turner said, “Even the Southern part of the city has been infiltrated so severely. There should be quite a number of problems in Stone City.”
Lugh asked, “How’s the strength of the Guardian of Stone City, Adams?”
Daler said, “Adams used to be a member of the Special Operations Team of our Emergency Response Team. He’s a Star Glory Beast Master, and his strength is quite good. Otherwise, the military wouldn’t have placed him there.”
“Then let’s go take a look,” Lugh said with a smile. “Maybe we’ll run into a big shot from the Beast God Cult.”
Turner also agreed with Lugh’s guess. “It’s very likely that we’ll run into him. However, as long as he’s not a King-tier powerhouse, we’re not afraid.”
After all, Stone City was also the territory of the Southwest Military.

There was no reason for them to be afraid of anyone in their own territory.
After resting for a day, Lugh brought his men and boarded the worm train, heading to Stone City.
Gaden had rich field experience, and Lugh’s Stormhawk had been patrolling the sky.
Along the way, they did not encounter any setbacks.
Seven days later, Lugh and his men smoothly arrived at Stone City.
Under the lead of the soldiers stationed at the station, the Emergency Response Team was arranged to the reception area in the central city area.
The entire Stone City was not as prosperous as Lugh had imagined.
On the way to the Military Headquarters of Stone City, Lugh encountered several waves of soldiers patrolling the streets.
Arne and the others arrived at the Military Headquarters of Stone City and met the Guardian of Stone City, Adams.
He was tall and thin, and his eyes were sunken. He looked a little gloomy.
In Adams’ office, after exchanging greetings, both parties sat down. An adjutant poured tea for them.
“Major Lugh?” Seeing the young Lugh, Adams was slightly taken aback before smiling. “I’ve heard so much about you. You’re even more outstanding than I imagined.”
Adams could clearly sense Lugh’s strength as a Platinum-tier Beast Master.
He also noticed that Lugh was at the lower position among the four of them.
Just now, after Lugh sat down, the other three Star Glory Beast Masters from the Emergency Response Team’s Special Operations Team sat down as well.
In other words, the three Star Glory Beast Masters had already acknowledged Lugh’s leadership ability.
“Guardian Adams, you flatter me.”
“That’s not it.” Adams quickly changed the topic. “Are you here because of the Beast God Cult?”
The temporary operations team led by Lugh had just been established, and the Southwest Army had already notified all the cities in the Southwest and North, ordering the Guardians to cooperate with the Special Operations Team.
“Yes.”
Lugh nodded and briefly told Adams about what had happened in Nanyu City.
When Adams heard that the Guardian of Nanyu City, Hall, had been assassinated, his face was full of anger.
He was the same as Hall, also a Guardian.
Since the Beast God Cult had dared to assassinate Hall, Adams could also become one of the targets of the Beast God Cult.
However, he soon noticed some other details.
He leaned forward and stared at Lugh seriously. “So, Captain Lugh suppressed Nanyu City in one day and found out all the members of the Beast God Cult who were hiding in Nanyu City?”
Lugh smiled. “I’m good at catching rats.”
Turner interrupted, “Adams, Captain Lugh has the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly that can quickly crack the memories. All the memories are sealed and are ineffective against the Captain’s Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly. As long as we catch one member of the Beast God Cult, we will be able to find a breakthrough.”
“Hiss!”
A trace of shock appeared on Adams’ cold face.
Sealing the memories was something that only Platinum-level and Star Glory-level spirit-type pets could do.
Modifying the memories was extremely difficult. The vast majority of King-level spirit-type pets could not do it.
As a former member of the emergency team, he naturally knew how difficult it was to decipher the memories.
It was an extremely complicated and time-consuming task.
Usually, only the enemy’s higher-ups had the right to decipher the memories.
Decipher the memories would be of great help in tracking down some illegal organizations.
If Lugh really had a pet that could quickly decipher the memories, then he would be a powerful threat to any organization.
Lugh immediately said, “Guardian Adams, can you tell us about the situation in Stone City?”
He was very pressed for time. If he could complete the mission quickly, he could obtain a perfect evaluation and obtain the most powerful area-of-effect buffs.
The time left for the Southwest Army was also very tight.
For the sake of the stability of the entire Southwest Region, in order to prevent the civilians from being bewitched by the Beast God Cult, the extermination of the hidden members of the Beast God Cult was also imminent.
“The situation in Stone City is very strange. I’ve also sent people to investigate the traces of the Beast God Cult, but the results aren’t ideal. In fact, it’s even a little strange.”
Lugh asked curiously, “Why not?”
“We did find a few members of the Beast God Cult hiding in Stone City to spread their teachings, but they’re all at the bottom of the Beast God Cult. The strongest one is only a Silver-tier Beast Master.”
Adams continued, “I feel that as one of the important transportation hubs connecting the Southwest and the West, Stone City definitely has more than just a few members of the Beast God Cult hiding. At the very least, Stone City should be an important transit point for them.”

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.
