"Prince Lin Kai didn't seem much anymore."
"Yes. He's thrown to the back twice. It seems that Prince Lin Kai is the weakest amongst the four princes."
"True."
Prince Lin Kai, who was struggling to stand up and planned to challenge Lin Xiao again, was enraged upon hearing the talk of the people around him. He glared at them and then spat out blood before passing out.
Lin Xiao watched Lin Xiao, who passed out, with strange expression. "That's weird, I shouldn't have the capability to make Foundation Establishment Cultivators faint with just one attack."
The others looked at Lin Xiao and shook his head, feeling slight disbelief. Didn't he realize that the prince fainted out of anger rather than his power. However, they have to admit that Lin Xiao was quite powerful.
Wait, if he was that powerful, just how powerful was the senior who guarded the fourth Examination Ground if he couldn't pass?
Thanks to Lin Xiao, the others started to worry about their next examination in the future.
"Anyway, I'm done with the arena." Lin Xiao glanced at the board and nodded in satisfaction when he saw his name at the 99th place. It was much better than when he was at 500 something number.
While he didn't need Spirit Stones right now, he would definitely need a lot in the future. Saving some from now would not be a bad decision.
"Then next, I want to…"
"Sister, I want to fight you!"
Princess Lan Yi Hua furrowed her brows as she glanced to the back. Looking at her sister, who was at the second place of the ranking, she knew that her sister was only trying to create trouble for her.
"I don't want to challenge you."
"Are you afraid, Older Sister?" Princess Lan Xiao Yue asked while blinking her eyes. Her action made her looked like she was deeply concerned by her older sister's performance. After all, it was clear that she didn't want to let her sister off so easily.

Princes Lan Yi Hua furrowed her brows. Just as she was about to say something more, Lin Xiao stepped forward and stood in front of Princess Lan Yi Hua. "Since she didn't want to fight, I don't think it's right for you to coerce her. Besides, are you not ashamed as Foundation Establishment Cultivator to challenge Body Training Rank 10?"
"I'm just worried about my sister." Princess Lan Xiao Yue pursed her lips.
"Worried?" Lin Xiao scoffed. "If you truly care for your sister, you wouldn't try to challenge your sister but instead help her to train. Are you worried that your sister didn't receive enough mocking already?"
Princess Lan Xiao Yue felt that Lin Xiao's words were too sharp. Thankfully, she had always acted like a good girl and would not show her weakness so easily. She looked at Lin Xiao with tearful gazes. "What are you talking about? Don't spout nonsense."
"In that case, you don't need to spout nonsense too. Your sister didn't want to fight you because she didn't want to make you lose face. Besides, the two of you are both already having the second place. Why should you bother her?" Lin Xiao added shamelessly.
Hearing his words, Princess Lan Xiao Yue was speechless. Well, it was true that the two of them held the number two. She was second from the beginning while her sister was second from the last.
Lin Xiao looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua. "Do you want to increase your ranking?"
"No. As you have said, second from last is already good enough." Princess Lan Yi Hua said unhurriedly. While her real result for the fight was actually in the middle, she didn't mind admitted to it. Standing beside Lin Xiao, she could feel that he was protecting her even though she didn't ask for it.

The feeling… was a bit strange.
Lin Xiao chuckled. "In that case, let's go back."
"Sure."
"If you all want to increase your ranking, you can stay here and fight the others." Lin Xiao looked at the others.
Fan Ling and Sui Wenyan nodded. The two of them needed more Spirit Stones, so they would try to fight against someone at the top 100. Of course, they would just pick some who were fairly weaker and not someone famous like the princes.
"Wait a moment! Do you really think that you can just leave like that?" Prince Lin Hong asked coldly. He used his aura to suppress them. As someone who nearly passed the fifth stage, his power was much more than what Prince Lin Kai could ever hope to achieve.
'You would need to be very serious if you want to fight him,' Lin Hu remarked from inside Lin Xiao's consciousness.
Lin Xiao didn't reply and merely looked at Prince Lin Hong. "What do you want, Your Highness?"
"Since she wants to fight, you should reply to her."
"The rules stated that only those at lower rank can challenge those at the higher rank. Naturally, it meant that you're also not qualified to challenge her. Do you want to bully people, Your Highness?" Lin Xiao asked with a sneer.
"To think that there would be a day when I see Foundation Establishment Cultivators being so shameless so as to make things hard for Body Training Stage Cultivators. I have just realized that the world is so vast!"
"You…" Prince Lin Hong frowned. As a matter of fact, aside from the fact that Princess Lan Xiao Yue was a few seconds younger than Princess Lan Yi Hua, she was at higher rank. Naturally, it meant that the second princess had better talent but it didn't mean that they could challenge the other.
After all, the ranking had stated that Princess Lan Yi Hua was only in the middle and already satisfied with her current ranking.
He turned to look at his followers. "Those at lower rank, come forward to challenge her."
Their eyes shone as they wanted to prove themselves. Almost immediately, they were already busy thinking what position they have and whether they could challenge her or not.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.

Empress' Evolution
The bright red light of the flames swallowed her vision but soon that red light transformed into a blue hue and she was dragged into that light. ‘What’s happening?’ It was too bright and she was forced to close her eyes, she was blinded — even though she was already dead. After being pulled into the light she began to feel annoyed as her skin was irritated by some kind of rough sand. By the time she opened her eyes. She could see the full view of the sky. It was blue and there were clouds scattered about. ‘Ugh, is this Hell?’ She stated as she rubbed her head with her fluffy and furry ‘hand’. ‘Furry?’ She looked at her ‘hands’ and her mouth opened wide. Her hands had become soft and fluffy paws of a white-furred beast with purple spots. ‘What the hell?’ She touched her face with her paws and confirmed that it too did not belong to a human. Below, she felt something was moving, she can tell as if it was another limb connected to her. ‘Don’t tell me!’ Turning her head around, she found a seven-inch tail sticking out behind. ‘Phew!’ She felt relieved that it wasn’t what she thought it was. “These soft and paws, this cuddly fluffy hair, this cute tail — ah shit, did I become a beast after my death or have I been dreaming of being human as a beast all this time? If it is the latter that is one long and realistic dream.” === [It’s the former, stupid *] === Said a woman’s voice from in her head. === As always thank you for reading, also the image in the cover is not mine, I found it on Pinterest and thought it was cool and suitable. All credits got to the illustrator. Also, this is a new type of story that I have not read about yet. Basically I am writing an evolution novel without prior knowledge so I don't really know what is considered cliche in this genre.
