Chapter 67 – Silly From Studying
This pure white bone could be considered an extraordinary treasure . It contained endless mysteries as well, and upon it were engraved pictures of confrontations between Archaic Vicious Beasts and Gods . Everything began from the most primitive origins .
The little guy had a silly look on his face, and he was incomparably fascinated . As he embraced the sparkling piece of bone, he was constantly pondering and comprehending it, almost as if he was bewitched by a devil . It was to the point that one time, he accidentally walked straight into the lake . Only when the waters reached his nose and mouth did he snap back to reality, and all the villagers didn’t know whether to laugh or cry .
“I put a bowl of beast milk in front of his eyes and he actually didn’t see it . This isn’t normal . ”
“It’s over . Little guy’s gone silly . Will he become stupid?”
The group of children were muttering amongst themselves . Seeing him act like that, they all felt as if he had been bewitched by the devil .
“Don’t work your brain too much and be careful of injuries,” the village chief solemnly warned . This wasn’t the first time the little guy had spat out blood, so even if his flesh was powerful, he still needed to pay attention .
The little guy was so completely into it that he neglected sleep and food . The shining bone never left his hand as he continuously turned, studied, and tried to comprehend it . He forgot about everything else, and was completely immersed in his studying .
He saw another example of a battle, a Golden Winged Peng against a Deity . The symbols on the bone were dense, and the engraved picture was very small, but it was very genuine; the passion seeped out of the bone!
The little guy became increasingly concentrated and never blinked . The divine essence was incredibly condensed, and he was practically drowning into the bone . Being so engrossed like this, even the engraved pictures looked different .
That Golden Winged Peng emitted a faint golden luster, and gradually, its entire body became bright and resplendent . It became extremely prominent on the bone fragment, and it was as if it was casted out of golden metal . Vivid and lifelike, it seemed as if it was going to fly out of the picture!
An incredibly decisive and violent battle was taking place between the Golden Winged Peng and the Deity . The two sides were both injured, and it was dyed in both the God’s blood as well as its own golden blood essence . It was the lord over heaven and earth, and its huge golden wings practically covered the entire dome of heaven; its power was unrivaled .
It hadn’t recorded any heaven shocking precious techniques, and instead, it only elaborated on the ancient and unique usages of symbols . This object drew out several crucial points of the battle, and it truly contained boundless mysterious meanings .
After looking at only a single picture, the little guy was already bewitched . He was so engrossed in it that he completely blocked out everything else . Only when his energy had been completely emptied and when he spat out a few mouthful of blood did he slowly start to open his eyes .
When the villagers saw this scene, they couldn’t help but feel their hearts ache . The little guy was so engrossed and obsessed that he might eventually run into some big problems . They all advised against acting like this .
“En, I know . These engraved pictures are too profound, and it’s not an area that I can comprehend yet . It’ll be fine if I take things slowly . ” The little guy listened and obeyed the advice and carefully came to this conclusion .

If these fight diagrams and engraved pictures were leaked to the outside world, it would certainly arouse a huge ruckus . Although there weren’t any precious techniques on it, it could definitely be called a ‘divine battle record’ .
A Golden Winged Peng in a confrontation with God, how many people could actually see a scene like this? If a picture like this was exposed, it would certainly shock the world . It was a treasure that experts dreamt about . It wasn’t just true for humans, this was something every race wanted to obtain!
This was where the ‘True Primordial Record’ was scary . When it explained symbols and mysterious meanings, it explained through examples of battles both shallow and deep, from deep to shallow; it touched upon a heaven and earth that was impossible to see .
A small boat floated on top of a lake and the clear lake water rippled with the wind . Golden Dragon Whiskered Fish glittering with brilliant splendor leapt out, creating large water blossoms .
The little guy laid on the small boat calmly and peacefully . His entire body was shining, and strands of divine light flickered . He reconstructed the symbols within his body again to fuse with his flesh .
Once he finished reading the True Primordial Record, his comprehension considerably deepened and far surpassed his knowledge from before . He understood the most fundamental meaning of symbols, and began to practice Blood Transformation again . One speck of light appeared after another like the magic of Gods, and permanently integrated into his body . They chanted scriptures, protected his body, nourished his spirit, shed his mortal body and continuously strengthening him .
The results were shocking . The little guy looked like a furnace and shined for days on end . His internal appeared external as strands of sparkling and brilliant mysterious patterns appeared on his body one after another .
The villagers didn’t bother him and allowed him to comprehend and cultivate . The little guy was half awake, and he focused all of his mind into it as he roamed within that beautiful world .
Divine light was brimming outside his body like divine wings . The blood essence within his body rumbled, and every drop of blood contained a symbol . As they condensed together, their auras became increasingly rich and powerful .
The divine light outside his body was sparkling and holy . He looked like he would grow wings and fly away . His body scattered a rain of light, illuminating the surface of the lake .
The villagers were all startled as they surrounded and watched from the lake shore . Even those precious birds and strange beast such as the little Luans or the Unicorns were dumbfounded as they looked towards the middle of the lake in a daze . Groups of Dragon Whiskered Fish all swam close and bathed in the shower of light . They used their dense golden scales to reflect the light at each other .
The little guy shut his eyes . The light on his body constantly circulated, and the shower of light swirled about as he underwent constant transformations .
The spirit essence between heaven and earth rushed into his body and nourished his inner organs, making him look sparkling and translucent all over . His blood essence was like a long river, constantly rumbling and turned as if they were turning into celestial bodies .
With his previous test completed, he started cultivating anew . The Blood Transformation was perfect, and he had reached an extraordinary state .
The little guy opened his eyes, and the divine light was retracted into himself . His body was translucent like a tender jade sculpted to perfection . The large golden fish within the lake were all startled and rapidly moved their tails as they wanted to submerge into the lake bottom .

Putong .
The little guy jumped into the water and caught a Dragon Whiskered Fish that weighed up to three hundred jin . Golden light swirled all around its body, and its whiskers were sparkling and fragrant . Every part of its body was a treasure .
“Nasally kid, catch . ” The little guy yelled as he raised his arm and threw it onto the shore .
Then, he entered the water again to rapid chase and catch another huge 200 jin golden fish that emitted a sweet scent, directly tossing it onto the shore .
“Wow, it’s a fish king . Several tens of jins were already considered big before . I never thought that this kind of precious fish could grow this big!”
“Little guy, there are many large fish . I just saw over twenty that were at least this big . Catch them quickly!”
The group of children shouted and cried . Fish kings like these definitely had extremely good medicinal properties . Once they were eaten, it could significantly increase their blood aura and strengthen them considerably .
The little guy didn’t continue catching them at all, but leapt to the shore instead . It wasn’t easy for the dark blue lake to give birth to such precious fish . He shouldn’t catch all the fish king since they had to lay their eggs first .
“Grandpa, I want to take a long journey away from home . ” After the little guy finished dinner, he suddenly spoke these words .
The chief’s rough hands trembled and raised his head before asking, “Child, you’re so young . Your cultivation still hasn’t truly reached the point where you can go wherever you wish in these desolate lands . Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t truly want to leave Stone Village, and I only want to finish the self-improvement process explained by Willow Deity . I want to travel around and quickly return,” the little guy gently said .
Although he was leaving for self-improvement, the location was still up to him to decide .
His eyes were filled with mist as he recalled his missing his parents and relatives . It’s been over a year since they departed, but Shi Ziling unexpectedly never returned; he was incredibly worried .
“Child, you’re not going to go to the ancient country right?” The chief was concerned, since how could a little child like him go alone into such a powerful kingdom . It was truly too unrealistic .
The little guy shook his head and said, “I won’t take any risks . I’m only going near the great desolate area’s borders . Willow Deity told me to fight with ferocious beasts of the desolate wastelands, and sharpen and improve under dangerous situations . Only like that could I solidify my comprehension and quickly mature . ”
Right now he had already re-cultivated the Blood Transformation realm into perfection . He followed the Willow Deity’s warning and didn’t rush his breakthrough . He paused his cultivation in this realm for another month in order to experience more, and comprehending more would benefit his future cultivation .
The little guy wanted to go take a look at the second ancestral land . There were a few accomplished elders in the banished land, and they once chatted very agreeably with his parents . They should know where his parents went in the end .
The child had been away from his parents for many years . When he found out that they were searching for a holy medicine for his sake, and even braved death to enter an ancient divine mountain, it was easy to imagine how much longing and worry was in his heart .
Perhaps he couldn’t do anything, but he wanted to hear about their whereabouts . He was brimming with emotions, and he longed for his relatives . Even if he couldn’t see them, obtaining even the slightest bit of information about them would be comforting .
Besides, there was another child who substituted for him there and was sent to the desolate land as punishment . He didn’t know whether the child lived his life comfortably or in danger . The little guy was a rather emotional person, and felt that a child shouldn’t have deserved such a fate .
“Child, it’s too far . This journey is too dangerous!” The chief didn’t agree .
“Although it’s far, this path really isn’t impossible to overcome . Through my unconscious memory, Willow Deity once estimated that there was a distance of 300,000 li between here and there,” the little guy said .
The second ancestral land was located in the ancient country’s borders, and it was savage and cold . Its distance from the ancestral land was truly not too far, only 300,000 li . Clearly, the Stone Clan’s people were always searching for their roots .
Over 300,000 li away compared to the ancient country’s vast and boundless territory really wasn’t much, but to a child like the little guy who had never journeyed far away, it was truly an astronomical number .
“You never traveled so far away before . How can I feel at ease?” The chief didn’t agree .
After a short while, the villagers all found out and also firmly opposed . This long and dangerous road was fraught with dangers . A single accident would spell certain death within the mountain ranges .
“Willow Deity said that this was a very important part of training, and demanded me to take this journey,” said the little guy .
When the villagers heard, they immediately became silent . The scorched black willow tree was a supreme being in their hearts . It truly would do no good to oppose its words .
“This kind of training, you can refuse . You don’t have to accept it . I’m only training you in accordance to the methods used by the young of the Genuine Hou, Suan Ni and other Archaic Vicious beasts . 300,000 li is truly very terrifying . There are many strange species within the great desolate lands . If you suddenly meet one without prior avoidance, it would become really dangerous,” Willow Deity said .
During the ancient era, all kinds of supremely powerful creatures was very harsh towards their heirs . For the sake of their maturity and becoming an unparalleled power in the future, they would often undergo hellish training .
They had to travel alone within the desolate wasteland, with ferocious beasts everywhere . They had to journey through the incredibly dangerous mountain ranges, and this was an enormous trial . Although they didn’t have explicit enemies, this was possibly even more dangerous .
The Willow Deity’s training fundamentally couldn’t be measured with the average villager as the norm . Everything was done according to the world’s most powerful species .
“I’ll give it a try . If it’s truly impossible, I won’t take any risks and return early . ” The little guy’s gaze was unwavering .
In his subconscious memory, his grandfather once killed the young of a Pi Xiu with extremely pure blood in the Hundred Clan Battlefield . Thinking back, it was definitely because the supremely powerful vicious beast deliberated released its heir inside to conduct cruel training .
“I can do it too!” The little guy clenched his fists and encouraged himself as he wished to journey in the direction of the ancient country .

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.

Solace Laurent and Sage Reyes never got along. They fought and competed over everything, whether it was grades or afterschool clubs. She hated his arrogant, I-don't-care-about-the-rules behaviour and he loved to annoy her. Not one day went by in high school when an argument didn't break out until he disappeared without a trace. Solace, along with Sage's family and the entire school, thought he was dead. After months of criminal investigations, search parties, and missing persons posters, he was nowhere to be found. But what happens when Sage shows up at her doorsteps in the middle of the night, bruised and bloody?***"Sage?" whispered Solace in utter shock. He smirked at her as he leaned against the doorframe, looking her up and down from her blue penguin pajamas to her oversized t-shirt until he met her eyes. She felt a rush of emotions when she heard his voice after six months. It was the same: deep, unbothered, and familiar. "Solace Laurent, I need your help."
