Chapter 148
The moment the two peak Xiantian Realm experts made their moves, their auras were sharp and fierce, bringing along strong gales as they whizzed over .
Swish!
Swish!
Zi Chen's feet emitted a faint golden light and his figure was like a ghost as he moved erratically and it looked as though he had changed between illusion and reality and escaped the two's attacks to the fifth floor .
After comprehending the supporting Arcane Art and being able to disguise himself, Zi Chen deliberately hid his identity . He did not use the power of lightning but instead, he released a faint golden light .
You . . . ? The faces of the two guards at the peak Xiantian Realm instantly changed and they looked at Zi Chen in shock . At the same time, those few Xiantian Realm experts who had made it to the fifth floor were also extremely shocked .
He actually came up .
Reaching the fifth floor through speed is terrifying .
The audience were no longer calm . Relying on speed could not represent true strength but for a tiny early Xiantian Realm to be able to rely on their speed to dodge the attacks of the two peak Xiantian Realm experts is already enough to cause a sensation .
He must have learned an extraordinary movement technique .
His body is nimble and ingenious . His movement technique is truly not simple .
It might be a type of extreme speed movement technique, otherwise, it wouldn't be so fast .
The Xiantian Realm experts in the fifth floor all looked at Zi Chen with fervent eyes . All of them were wondering to themselves what would happen after they mastered the art of extreme speed . At the same time, there were also many people who had a wicked idea .
Zi Chen did not speak and only indifferently swept his gaze across the sixth floor, seeming to intend to go up .
What? He still wants to go up?
Does he think he can rely on speed to reach the sixth floor?
The guard for the sixth floor is a Zhen Yuan Realm expert . Even though he will only use fifty percent of his power, it isn't something that a mere early Xiantian Realm can compare to .
Everyone was shocked as they looked at Zi Chen . Along the way, Zi Chen did not see Ling Yun . The latter was not at the fifth floor so he was definitely at the sixth or seventh floor .
Shua!
His feet pushed off the ground and his figure became illusory . He then relied on his extreme speed to rush upwards .
Get down! The two Zhen Yuan Realm experts were guarding the stairs and suddenly let out a loud roar, following that, the two of them threw punches . Although their punches only contained 50% of their strength but when it combined, it is like a full force punch of a Zhen Yuan Realm expert . The two punches converged at the staircase and like a torrent, they flew straight towards Zi Chen .
Boom!
The torrent of Fist Qi flew straight towards Zi Chen and before anyone could see, a shockwave charged out .
Hmph . You think you can reach the sixth floor just by relying on speed . You are simply dreaming .
This child's speed is not bad but it's unrealistic to think that he would be able to reach the sixth floor .

In the fifth floor, many people were already prepared to watch a good show and were sneering at Zi Chen . However, when the torrent of Fist Qi appeared, everyone was dumbfounded .
The torrent of Fist Qi had appeared and flooded the entire staircase . Even a group of people would be sent flying, let alone a single person .
However, there was not a single person within the surging torrent .
How is that possible? Where is he?
Could it be that he was blown into nothingness?
Impossible, this is just a test . There is no killing intent at all . How can he blown into nothingness . It can't . . . Did he go up?
Everyone's faces changed, their eyes filled with shock . If that was really the case, then this child's speed is simply too terrifying .
Discussions broke out on the fifth floor but soon after, exclamations rang out from the sixth floor .
You actually came up?
When did you get behind us?
This was the voice of the Zhen Yuan Realm Expert . When the two of them attacked together, they clearly saw that the other party was right in front of them but in the next moment, he disappeared .
He is really up there, my God
The early Xiantian Realm boy have all gone up by relying on his extreme speed, it seems like it's a kind of extreme speed movement technique .
It's absolutely a profound movement technique, comparable to the existence of some great techniques .
Everyone was dumbstruck and tongue-tied . When he arrived at the sixth floor, the staircase was empty . There were many experts here but not a single one went up .
Zi Chen swept his eyes across the seventh floor and stepped forward .
Bang!
Bang!
There were no experts guarding the stairs on the seventh floor so Zi Chen was able to make his way there unhindered .
On the seventh floor, some geniuses were currently chatting . They had already arrived and were quietly waiting for the other geniuses to arrive . Unfortunately, no one came up for a long time .
There are a lot of Xiantian Realm experts but the number of geniuses are few and far between . It seems that we have gone overboard . A young man dressed in blue casually said . His name was Wu Qiong and he was a disciple of the Wu Zong Sect . He was the main sponsor for this gathering of geniuses .
Let's wait a little longer . A white-robed youth said .
Waiting is useless . Even if they have talent, with no backing and resources, they won't amount to much . I don't advocate it but Cang He, you just had to agree . The other young man said disdainfully . He sat there with his eyes looking up to the sky, showing a proud expression . He was none other than Li Family's Li Huo .
The three of them were the sponsors of the Genius Gathering . Beside them were a few other geniuses, all of whom remained silent .
That may not be the case . Perhaps one or two geniuses are among these thousands of people . He was from the Cang Family and had a very high position . Beside him sat two women, one in white, the other in green .
Geniuses, which genius isn't groomed with resources and doesn't have a strong background? If they rely on their own self without any resource or background, any genius will die . Li Huo curled his lips in disdain, looking extremely arrogant .

That may not be so . In the recent days, wasn't everyone talking about Zi Chen? Was he also groomed with resources? Cang He laughed .
Zi Chen? That fellow from the Ling Wu Sect who offended the three forces and was forced into the Dark Serene Forest to die? Li Huo curled his lips and said .
That's right, the rumors say that he is only at the early Xiantian Realm and yet, he caused the three great forces to suffer, for this matter, Wu Qiong should have more information Cang He said .
Everyone's eyes turned to look at Wu Qiong, for the sake of a treasure, the Wu Sect destroyed the Ling Wu Sect, this was something extremely well-known . However, the Ling Wu Sect was a branch of the Wu Zong Sect so its not improper .
How would I have more information about him? I have never seen him before but there are people from the Ling Wu Sect here and they happen to be related to Zi Chen . Wu Qiong said, and then swept his gaze towards the side .
Not far away, Chen Feng was actually also here . Back then, when something happened to the Ling Wu Sect, he was lucky enough to not die and escape back to Cangli City .
Chen Feng swept a glance at the youth at his side, let out a cold snort, and said with disdain, Hmph, the rumors cannot be trusted . Back then, Zi Chen was unknown within the sec, and I could pinch him to death with a single finger . The rumors say that he caused the three forces to suffer a great loss and I am the first one to not believe it .
Chen Feng did not have any good impression of Zi Chen to begin with and this time, when he spoke, he was even more straightforward . The moment he finished speaking, three dissatisfied gazes were cast at him .
Chen Feng, you must be boasting a bit too shamelessly now, right? Who was the one who wanted to harm Zi Chen back then and was confined in the Punishment Hall? Even your second grandfather wasn't able to succeed, right? A young man let out a cold snort . This person's eyes were very small and his appearance was very ordinary . If it wasn't for him opening his mouth, no one would have noticed him .
I have seen Zi Chen before too, he is just an ant and wasn't able to change the weather . Back then, I could kill him with just a finger, how could such a small character make the three forces suffer? The rumors are truly unbelievable . Just at this time, Ling Yun, who was beside Chen Feng spoke up .
Ling Yun, a Zhan Wu Sect Disciple and the future sect master of Zhan Wu Sect is already at the late Xiantian Realm at such a young age . Although he couldn't compare to the many monstrous geniuses, he is still strong enough to call himself a genius and sit on the seventh floor .
That day at the Spirit Medicine Garden, it was Zi Chen who destroyed his plan, killed his own younger brother and even caused him to be punished in the sect . Thus, he hated Zi Chen to the bones and was not willing to speak good words for him even if he died .
Bulls *t . If you had the ability, you wouldn't have been imprisoned by the sect . The young man from before harrumphed coldly . Ling Yun and Chen Feng's eyes flashed with a cold light but they did not dare flare up, as though they were afraid of the small eyed youth's identity .
Wu Hong, you met Zi Chen that day, tell me your impression of him? Cang He looked into the distance, seeing that Wu Hong had said nothing .
Wu Hong is from the Black Tortoise Sect and had always been silent . He was a very amiable person and at the moment, he smiled lightly and said, I have only met him once, there is nothing much to say . I have only heard from my junior brothers about him .
Hmph, so what if he's a genius? Isn't he still dead in the Dark Serene Forest? Chen Feng scoffed .
Ling Yun's face did not look too good either, and said, Luckily he died, otherwise, I would have to settle this debt with him .
You . . . The small-eyed youth stood up angrily .
He's just a dead man . Why must we hurt our relationship over him? We'll have to rely on everyone to make this trip to the Ruins . Wu Qiong waved his hand and everyone kept their mouths shut .
The scene was very awkward but afterwards, they talked about a few other geniuses .
Deng! Deng!
Deng! Deng!
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard .
Someone's coming up?
Could it be that there really is a genius that can reach the seventh floor?
Everyone who was chatting was surprised and looked towards the stairs . With the sound of footsteps, a youth in black appeared in their line of sight . He was of low height and had an extremely ordinary appearance .
Every genius had their own unique points . Standing in the crowd, one could see that they were an existence that stood out from the rest . However, the young man in front of them was just too ordinary and wouldn't cause anyone take a second glance at him .
Everyone was startled . They never would've thought that the genius who could make it to the seventh floor would be like this .
After practicing Arcane Art, Zi Chen was able to freely change his appearance . At the moment, the geniuses were gathered at the seventh floor and all of them had a distinguishable appearance so Zi Chen's appearance really surprised them .
As Zi Chen was walking up the stairs, he was indifferent but after just reaching the seventh floor and seeing everyone's gaze, Zi Chen's indifferent expression disappeared and while a bright light constantly flickered in his eyes .
His calm eyes were like the morning light, sparkling and dazzling, showing that he was extraordinary and in the next moment, the aura on Zi Chen's body also became chaotic as endless fluctuations surged out . The moment he saw the crowd, Zi Chen lost his composure and in his bright eyes, some other emotions flashed past .

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.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
