《World of Experts 》Chapter 81: Huan Ji’s Battle (2)
Advertisement
Therefore, in order to make Shi Hao enter the small forest, Huan Ji laughed and said: “Lord Shi, why are you stopping outside the forest? Why don’t you come in and give it a try? Could it be that your pursuit tactic is just standing there? I understand! Brilliant, brilliant, truly brilliant!”
Huan Ji wanted to anger Shi Hao via these words. But Shi Hao was not stupid. Just because the other party was provoking him to enter, was there any reason to enter? No! Shi Hao continued to mouth off.
His was full of heroic spirit as he said: “Alas! General Huan Ji, your choice of words is too poor. My duty is to guard this territory. I just need to chase off the villains. There is no need to chase until the other side is wiped out. There is a saying, don’t mess with me and I won’t mess with you. If you don’t believe in it, then General Huan Ji can order your soldiers to try again and see if I’ll chase them into the forest or not.”
Shi Hao looked calm and composed. The more the other party urged, the less he would move. Unless the opponent made a move, he would also not make a move, making the other side helpless.
What bad luck! At this moment, Huan Ji finally understood that Shi Hao was a tough-nut, a hot potato, which couldn’t be bitten or touched. It was a pity that he didn’t know how Wei Wentong fell under Shi Hao. Now, Wei Wentong could never get rid of the title of the Loser King. Moreover, the small video Shi Hao recorded was full of threats.
However, Huan Ji, after all, was Huan Ji. Although his physical strength was inferior to Wei Wentong, his brain was definitely good. He suddenly thought of a way.
Huan Ji laughed and said: “Haha! Lord Shi, you seemed to be very impatient when you came here. Do you need to return urgently to deal with something? Or, do you need to do something here in Central Flower Region after quickly completing the mission? But if you want to do anything in Central Flower Region, then you’ll need my approval. Without my agreement, you don’t even need to think about it. Besides, Central Flower Region is a place where dragons and fishes are mixed together, if you want to do something, can you do it just by yourself?”

Huan Ji caught Shi Hao’s weakness! Shi Hao truly wanted to move freely for a period of time after completing the task as soon as possible. He wanted to take advantage of this chance to secretly go look for Su Xiao. However, he shouldn’t expose his intention too much. Otherwise, he didn’t know what other demands would Huan Ji make.
Shi Hao pretended to be calm and said: “General Huan Ji, do you mean that as long as I led my team into the forest to fight you, you will agree to it? Moreover, after I finished the mission, you will lend me troops to help me take care of some things in Central Flower Region? Is that so?”
Huan Ji smiled triumphantly. Shi Hao was finally in his hands.
“Yes! But don’t worry. Although I like money, I never go back on my words. After your troops enter the forest to fight me, no matter the outcome, I’ll let you freely mobilize 100 troops under me after you complete the mission for ten days! I have the power to decide this much. Naturally, your activities must not break the Divine and Mighty Alliance’s rules. Apart from that, you are free to do anything. I will not interfere.”
Shi Hao was overjoyed! When he wanted to sleep, someone came and gave him a pillow. With 100 men of Huan Ji, moreover, the time limit of ten days, did he need to fear that he wouldn’t be able to see Su Xiao? If he couldn’t, then he would write his name backward. Shi Hao decisively decided to enter the small forest!
“Set out! Stabilize the formation.” Shi Hao gave an order and his troops slowly entered the forest.
The fish took the bait! The 100 men under Huan Ji were waiting for this moment.
“Kill!” Their shout was earth-shaking. In an instant, the ambush effect was triggered!
At this moment, everything was dark in front of Shi Hao’s entire troops. They couldn’t distinguish east, west, north and south. They basically lost all their combat power, could only get trampled on. This was the system’s penalty after the ambush was triggered. Once the ambush was triggered, all regular NPCs would fall into such a state. Only players and historical NPCs could remain sober.

Fortunately! Shi Hao’s Shadow Dragon Soul Shield withstood a wave of attack, which greatly surprised Huan Ji! He truly hadn’t expected that Shi Hao still had such a hidden trump in his hands. Not only it could withstand the attacks, but it could also cause an explosion. If it weren’t for the high enough defense of his troops, his troops might have been wiped out on the contrary.
Unfortunately, even though the Shadow Dragon Soul Shield was used up, the current situation had not reversed. Huan Ji’s troops had retreated and disappeared into the forest again.
Needless to say, not long after, there was another wave of ambush. This time, without the protection of Shadow Dragon Soul Shield, Shi Hao’s troops knelt down (not dead) in succession other than those 60 fighters. Those 60 fighters were indeed very tough. They were encircled, but the other side was unable to wipe them out. Another half an hour passed in just this fashion.
Shi Hao was calm. He was even humming a tune. But Huan Ji couldn’t sit still.
Huan Ji frowned and said: “Lord Shi, what kind of demonic technique are you using? If I don’t misremember, you are a fighter, how can you have such a weird skill? That’s impossible! Moreover, don’t your skills consume your MP? This is absolutely a divine skill!”
Huan Ji had a new understanding of Shi Hao’s strength, and his attitude and tone towards Shi Hao also improved a lot. It seemed that he didn’t dare to be indifferent anymore.
However, the change in Huan Ji’s attitude didn’t mean that Shi Hao would expose all his secrets. Heh heh, he was not so stupid. He should never let anyone know the secrets of Soul of the Warrior. This SS grade skill was absolutely something that should only appear in the later stage of the game.
As for the Shadow Dragon Soul, it was drawn from the special diamond-grade lottery ticket awarded by the system. In fact, although he got it relying on the mysterious unknown power, it had always been clear.
“Demonic technique? Wrong, it’s just an item…” Shi Hao simply conflated the Soul of the Warrior’s defense buff with Shadow Dragon Soul Shield.
This time, Shi Hao made Huan Ji drool. He stared at Shi Hao’s black flaming costume and pestered Shi Hao to get him a special costume too. On the contrary, the outcome of this competition and the stakes were all set aside and ignored. In response, Shi Hao just smiled without saying a word.
The next day, Shi Hao finally arrived at the long-awaited mysterious passage. This passage looked like a portal in a typical online game, appearing spiral-shaped. The troops of Divine and Mighty Alliance were standing beside this passage, strictly guarding, not letting anyone approach it.
“Lord Shi, I wish you a good trip.” Huan Ji bade farewell with a smile. He was truly a cunning fox.
“Prepare 100 men and wait for my return! Don’t forget it.” Shi Hao turned around, turned on the video recording function and walked into the portal to Seafloor World.
What would happen after entering the portal?
One had to say that this was the first portal that appeared in the game. Not even the >’s trailer showed it. It was only mentioned in Bizarre Signs Record Book. Therefore, no one knew what would happen after entering the Seafloor World Portal. Even Shi Hao who had just entered it couldn’t understand. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
“F***! Is this 18,000 degree roller coaster?” Shi Hao was baffled. And he could do nothing because he instantly lost his consciousness due to the spinning pressure…

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.

Welcome to the Upward Bound System, V.2
Technically abandoned. I will be reposting an updated version of the story one chapter at a time. When the System came to Earth, it changed everything. It is a grand thing used by gods and men alike. What had once been fantasy was now a reality. People believed and so that belief gave ideas the strength to manifest. "Welcome Founder of the SCP Foundation" It stirred the gods from their deathly slumbers. Stirred by an almost mechanical voice promising them new life, and followers as countless as the stars. All it asked of them was for their help. Help with what though? The old gods, the forgotten gods, and the new gods drew breath, and then made their voices heard. On a day like any other Dante was home from college watching the Presidential inauguration with his parents. Little did they know that this day would turn out to be anything but ordinary. That this was the day everything changed. Dante is not your typical MC. While he has a troubled past, he looks forward to the future. Follow Dante, his parents, and the new friends he meets along the way as they traverse this new system world. However, before they can explore this new world they must complete, the Tutorial. (Please note: This tutorial will be part of the story. Rather than a skim of the information, you will get to experience it in depth. So the tutorial will last a good while.) A much slower style of LitRpg than what you would normally find. Follow Dante and his party as they find their world taken over by the system. Welcome people of Earth to the Upward Bound System!... With the system's arrival so too does great danger come... The tools of your survival shall be granted upon you by the system... Please note, I don't own the art. Please enjoy the story, and if you don't please leave a comment and I will try to improve the story for you. This is the second version of this story, so feel free to check out the original and compare the two.

Recovery of a Life
The prince of a kingdom was erased from the world. His very existence an enigma. Follow Xopil as he forces his life into a world that refuses to acknowledge his presence. I tried to write a novel without including all the standard things you find in certain genres, or if it is included, I hope it's at least a fresh take on it, this includes me breaking the fourth wall, probably too much. I'm wondering if that helped with humor at all, and also reconsidering if that should be a part of the story. I'm going to be rewriting every chapter at this point... and that chapter I'm extremely disappointed with could likely be deleted if not redone entirely. Now that this story is marked 'completed', I'll be going through each chapter and fleshing out the story a bit, as I found it severely lacking, and I've been saying to myself "I could have done more with that." way more often than I should be. And that speaks to my own dissatisfaction with my writing. I make no warranty-express or implied-as to the quality of these chapters, or the story as a whole. Cover art by Roman Valeyev
