Chapter 74
Proofread by Liang Yaping
Xing Wudao finally releases a palm and even deliberately stops for a moment to see the fear of death on Yun Chuan’s face .
But to his surprise, Yun Chuan doesn’t show any fear on his face . On the contrary, there is a trace of slight mockery . Even in the view of Xing Wudao, Yun Chuan is looking at him pitifully . Then Yun Chuan whispers, “Well, you are already dead . ”
Yun Chuan opens his mouth, making Xing Wudao’s hairs all stand up . An incomparable breath even with a power of the Dyhana at the stage of Nascent Soul roars out with a terrible heat, rushing directly to Xing Wudao .
“What, the breath of the treasure at the stage of Nascent Soul, how could it be?! Yun Chuan, you fool me!”
Xing Wudao looks up and cries in horror . In his eyes, he can only see a dazzling sword shadow, which drowns his whole person . The color of burning red dyes the whole sky, and the white sword light mixed in the red becomes the last thing Xing Wudao has seen for his whole life .
The sword light fades, and only Xing Wudao’s burnt black corpse divided into two parts falls down . Yun Chuan grabs the bodies and collects all the things stored in the space of Xing Wudao’s Dantian . He takes out a Stone of Mirage and grasps it in his hand . And at the next second, Yun Chuan’s figure directly disappears, for he has entered the Land of Mirage directly .
“What the hell are you? On that day, I said that you were just a trash, and you still dare to provoke me all the time! Brother Gui, didn’t you say I couldn’t get in without a Stone of Mirage? Now I have it, bye then!” The boy’s mocking words come from afar .
The wind keeps howling, and no one ever speaks for a long time, only the sound of swallowing because of the shock .
One move, just with one move, Yun Chuan has killed Xing Wudao, an Inner Disciple of the Falling Star School, and even leaving Xing Wudao no time to respond .
Many people also fail to react at the first time . After all, the defeat and death of Xing Wudao was just too fast . Only a few seconds have passed from Xing Wudao’s death to Yun Chuan’s disappearance into the Land of Mirage .
“The treasure at the stage of Nascent Soul generally needs the support of its matching martial skill, and this kind of martial skill is at least at the Black level . Even the strong at the stage of Martial Core can’t fully release its power without practice of years after getting a treasure at the stage of Nascent Soul . If Yun Chuan merely practiced that supporting martial skill to the entry-stage, he couldn’t make such a clean shot . Just looking at the released power, that treasure of the stage of Nascent Soul has been fully discovered!”

“How could it be? Is he so horribly talented? I’ve heard that Yun Chuan is only of the second-level blood . With such a poor qualification, it will be totally hard to avoid the fate of being a bottom-of-the-heap, and let alone to fully display the power of the treasure!”
“Xing Wudao wants to wipe out his disgrace, but he still dies in the same routine . If he wants to kill Yun Chuan with one blow, his personal defense must be extremely weak . If not, even with the help of that treasure at the stage of Nascent Soul, it is just impossible for him to cut Xing Wudao in half . Alas, Xing Wudao really died an awful death!”
Many of the martial arts practitioners who saw this scene felt inexplicably shocked and could not be calmed down for a long time .
On the other side, Gui Yantian and others who firmly believed that Yun Chuan was doomed to die, now look frozen on their faces . Gui Yantian’s blood-like tears, Da Pheonix’s laughter, and Li Tianhan’s gloomy face all seem to be still at this moment .
Especially the ridicule words of the youngster after he has stepped into the Land of Mirage, these ups and downs in such a short period of time leave Gui Yantian almost no chance to breath .
“The treasure at the stage of Nascent Soul demands a large consumption of the original force, so I think this little thief can only release one attack in a short time . Let’s get into the Land quickly . Maybe we can hunt him down and take his treasure to avenge Brother Wudao!”
Gui Yantian wipes away the tears on his face, calms down and gnashes the teeth in anger:
“Avenge for Brother Wudao!”
After hearing this, a trace of greed appears in the eyes of Da Phoenix and Li Tianhan, but they soon recover a grief and righteous look, and follow Gui Yantian into the Land of Mirage .
After a burst of dazzling white light, Yun Chuan is totally surprised by what he sees . He looks around, the yellow sky, the gray earth, the collapsed and fractured mountains in the distance, and the ground look like a swamp with bubbles . . . Everything is just astonishing .

“The Land of Mirage looks like a fairyland from the outside, but it looks like a place of death inside . I’m wondering how it was formed . . . The greater the lucky chances are, the more dangerous the risks will be . I must never let down my guard!”
His face is now a little bit pale, and his breath is much weaker than before . Gui Yantian is right . Although the power of the treasure at the stage of Nascent Soul is great, he can only barely use it with his current qualification . What’s more, his previous attack completely released the power of the Xuanyang Sword, and only one attack has consumed all the original force in his body .
Yun Chuan sits with his knees crossed . He takes out a few Primordial Stones and starts to absorb them, and several Stones turn into dust in an instant; a complex expression then shows on the youngster’s face . After being quenched by the Fruit of Blood and Fire and the Water of Icy Spring, his Near Core can even compete with the real Core at the early-stage of Martial Core , but correspondingly, the original force needed to be supplemented is tens of times more than that of a normal Near Core . He has just roughly estimated that it will take at least 2000 Primordial Stones to fully recover .
Instead of walking around, he sits down here calmly to complement his original force, and be vigilant to any sign of unusual action around him at the same time, giving no chance to the enemies .
After half a day, suddenly Yun Chuan’s face changes and he looks into the distance . From the distant mountains comes a rumbling sound, as if something is coming . With his eyes, he sees a head-sized and fire-red ore passing like it has some spiritual intelligence, smashing all the broken mountains along its way .
“What a huge Meta-fire Stone! Truly, this Land of Mirage is full of lucky chances! The Meta-fire Stone is a kind of excellent material for refining treasures at the stage of Nascent Soul . Moreover, it is of the same resource with my Xuanyang Sword . It seems that this Meta-fire Stone is the pick of the bunch, for it has already cultivated its own spirit . But what it’s hiding from? If I can get it, the power of my Xuanyang Sword will surely have a big rise!”
A glimmer of joy flashes across Yun Chuan’s face . He looks at the moving direction of that Meta-fire Stone . With a shout, he suddenly jumps up and releases thousands of palm shadows, blocking the way of that head-sized Meta-fire Stone . Although the Stone keeps striking those shadows, it is unable to break free from Yun Chuan’s encirclement . So gradually the colliding force slows down .

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
