Divine God Against The Heavens Chapter 254

Ye Xiao found an inn. In the end, he was told by the shopkeeper that the inn was full because there were many geniuses who came here to participate in the disciple acceptance ceremony. He looked for several places in succession and finally found a medium-sized room with the word "Earth" in a relatively rundown inn.
"There is only one room. One hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones for a day." The shopkeeper glanced at Ye Xiao and offered the price.
Ye Xiao didn't bargain. He had asked about it before. As the ceremony was about to begin, a group of people from various small towns rushed into the inn. The inn's resources became extremely tight in an instant, and it was common for prices to increase by dozens of times.
After giving the money, Ye Xiao went to the room.
The next day, Ye Xiao left the inn. At this time, he saw many young talents heading towards the center of the town. He followed the crowd and arrived at the center of the town. There was a tall platform with a gloomy old man standing on it. He was a Ninth Stage Martial Emperor Realm martial artist.
Ye Xiao saw the geniuses who came here to participate in the disciple acceptance ceremony were all either Martial King Realm martial artists or at the First Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm. Seeing this, he also suppressed his cultivation to the Second Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm.
"Those below the Fifth Stage of Martial King Realm can leave now." After a while when all the geniuses gathered, on the high platform, Deacon Elder of the Hundred Sword Sect Zheng Bing said coldly.
Many young men who wanted to try their luck heard him and could only leave dejectedly.
This group of people occupied fifty to sixty percent of the land. Once they left, there were only two to three hundred people left. It didn't look as crowded as before.
Among the two to three hundred people, over thirty people were at the Martial Emperor Realm and the rest were Martial King Realm, martial artists.
Zheng Bing's expression became slightly better. He looked at everyone and nodded his head in satisfaction. Then suddenly, he looked at Ye Xiao and was surprised.

"Second Stage of Martial Emperor Realm?"
Zheng Bing was slightly shocked in his heart. He directly said to Ye Xiao, "Who are you? How old are you this year?"
He was attracted by Ye Xiao because Ye Xiao looked too young yet his cultivation was already at the Second Stage of the Martial Emperor realm. This kind of cultivation was equal to the geniuses from the Imperial City of the White Tiger Empire. In his eyes, Ye Xiao's talent was very close to the young sect leader of the Hundred Sword Sect.
The young sect leader of the Hundred Sword Sect, Fu Chen, was only twenty-one and he was already at the Seventh Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm.
Ye Xiao said in a clear voice, "My name is Ye Xiao. I am twenty years old!"
"Only 20 years old and already at the Second Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm. Good, not bad!"
A smile appeared on Zheng Bing's face. With Ye Xiao's talent, he could be ranked in the top ten in the Hundred Sword Sect. If he was recommended to his master, he would definitely receive a lot of rewards.
Thinking of this, his gaze towards Ye Xiao became much gentler.
Ye Xiao suddenly felt a cold gaze stop on his body. He lifted his eyes and looked over. It was the black-clothed youth who was looking at him with eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to fight me?" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart then ignored the black-clothed youth and looked at Zheng Bing.
"Come with me. The official assessment will only begin when we reach the mountain. This time, my Hundred Sword Sect will only accept ten inner sect disciples and twenty outer sect disciples. There are probably over three hundred participants here. Whether you can stand out or not will depend on yourselves." Zheng Bing said loudly.
After that, he brought everyone to Sword Mountain. Along the way, they encountered many checkpoints. There were inner circle disciples guarding them, and the higher they went, the higher their cultivation would be.
At this time, the black-clothed youth walked to Ye Xiao's side and said in a low voice, "I, He Xudong will definitely defeat you and enter the Hundred Sword Sect."

Ye Xiao glanced at him and replied, "Oh? Then I'll congratulate you first."
Perhaps it was Ye Xiao's attitude that made him feel a little strange. He Xudong frowned and said, "Don't think that you have full confidence just because you have a high cultivation level. The Hundred Sword Sect accepts disciples based on talent. I'm only eighteen years old this year and am already Half-step into the Martial Emperor Realm!"
"Whatever, I don't have time for you right now. Let's talk about it after we get to the mountain." Ye Xiao waved his hand impatiently.
"You!"
He Xudong's expression turned cold. At this moment, Zheng Bing happened to turn his head and look in their direction. He Xudong immediately suppressed his anger and prepared to wait for the exam. He will definitely teach this Ye Xiao a good lesson.
Sword Mountain was very big. Many towns were established at the foot of the Sword Mountain and this time, the Hundred Sword Sect was recruiting disciples from each town. Every town had its own way up the mountain, so when they were halfway up the mountain, Ye Xiao and the others met the teams from the other towns.
Dozens of groups gathered together, and it was extremely powerful.
Every team subconsciously had a competitive attitude. They all used the calmest look they thought to show off to each other.
In a short period of time, He Xudong had already fought with more than ten people with his eyes.
At the same time, Zheng Bing was also secretly competing with other Deacon Elder.
"Even the people of Cloud Town this year are not talented. There is only one Martial Emperor Realm martial artist?"
Zheng Bing swept a glance at the group of people from Cloud Town beside him and mocked the leader of the group, Deacon Elder.
That elder snorted coldly and said, "Your team isn't that good."
Zheng Bing smiled and said, "Take a closer look."
"Huh? Second Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm? How old is this child?" The elder was shocked when he saw Ye Xiao so he asked.
"Twenty Years old, hahaha." Zheng Bing laughed proudly.
"Humph, you only pick up a treasure occasionally. Do you really need to be so proud of yourself?" The other elders said unhappily when they heard the commotion.
"Haha, if you can't eat the grapes, don't say that the grapes are sour." Zheng Bing sneered at the elders.
From Zheng Bing's conversation, many people from other groups who thought they were talented looked at Ye Xiao. They looked up and down, and their eyes were filled with fighting intent similar to He Xudong's and some of them were also looking at him coldly.
Seeing this, Ye Xiao could only sigh. This was not the right time to cause trouble but the trouble was already finding its way to him.
Not long after, everyone passed through an invisible layer of barrier, their vision suddenly became clear. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there was a huge arch.
It was supported by eight huge pillars. On the pillars were written three large golden characters: Hundred Sword Sect!
On the eight pillars, there were also dragons of various shapes and sizes carved. In front of the giant dragons, there was a person holding a treasured sword and slaying a dragon.
It was said that this was the carving of generations of dragon-slaying experts in the Hundred Sword Sect. These experts slew the dragons using the core technique of the Hundred Sword Sect, One Slash Equal Hundred.
At this time, there were no less than ten such scenes on the pillars. This meant that the Hundred Sword Sect had slain at least ten dragons!
At this point, the whispers in the team had also disappeared. Everyone followed Deacon Elder and the others into the Hundred Sword Sect with a solemn expression. Then, they arrived at an incomparably large square. In the center of the square, there was a magnificent statue that was over 20 meters tall. It was a man dressed in palace clothes. He was extremely handsome and there was a long sword in his hand that was pointed toward the sky.
This was the founder of the Hundred Sword Sect, a peak Martial Saint Realm martial artist. However, after his death, Martial Saint had never appeared in the Hundred Sword Sect ever since, until two years ago when the previous sect leader broke through.

How to Raise Your Dungeon
A dungeon core awakens for the first time. It knows nothing, it has nothing, but it can hear something. Voices, whispering, talking, and sharing. For now, they are distant. But it believes, if it proves itself, they may provide it with wisdom and direction. And so its slow but steady growth begins. Polls will come when the dungeon specifically wants to choose between a number of options, and believes it will receive an answer. However, it will "hear" any comments made on the most recent chapter, and these will shape its behaviour. It trusts you implicitely. This story is an exercise in stretching my creative muscles, so with each decision made, the options and opportunities open to the dungeon will change- some closing off forever. The dungeon will face threats periodically, and its fate in these encounters will be heavily influenced by your advice, though it will of course do its absolute best even without advice. It hardly wants to die. Heavily inspired by There Is No Epic Loot Here, Only Puns, though my approach to the concept is somewhat different from that work.

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
