《The Transformation God》Chapter 20
Advertisement
Standing on stage Lucifer faced the Sect master as Elder Mo has fainted and the test has halted. As for the crowd, they were totally silent, or they choose not to believe it. Might it be to the crowd or the sect master they all had the same thought ‘What did I just witness’?
“Does this count as passing?” Lucifer asked again while the Sect Master was in a daze.
The Sect master looked where the stone used to be and nodded while thinking ‘if this doesn’t pass then what does’.
“You did awesome, Lucifer,” Luna said while Sia stood by her side and nod.
After Lucifer had left the stage, the sect doctor came and fetched elder Mo who fainted. The sect master stood on stage and continues the tests as he felt joy from getting three monstrous talent. For the remaining about half were eliminated as they either pass the age limit or the measuring rock didn’t react.
“Now the strength test is straightforward as all your doing is punching the strength rock,” The sect master said as he pulled out a rock.
“The average mid houtian realm has a strength of 300 pounds while the peak has almost 1,200 pounds. As for early xiantian realm, they have force around 3,000 while peak has around 12,000,” The sect master said.
The same boy who went first last time appeared on stage with his cultivation being around mid houtian ready to break into late houtian any time. He steps up to the rock and used the basic tiger punch that widely spread and punch the stone.
‘379’ The rock showed.
“You pass,” The sect master said straightforward.
The next boy went onto the stage and used the same move.
‘340,’ the stone said.

“Pass,” The sect master said.
‘299’
“Failed,”
‘365’
“Passed,”
The line kept moving in similar fashion until it was Luna turn to go. When Luna appeared on stage the crowd quieted down and focused on the stone.
“Am I allowed to use my sword?” Luna asks the one before her only punched or kicked.
“Why wouldn’t you be able to I don’t remember saying you couldn't sect master said causing some of that one to fail to cry.
Luna approached the stone and drew her sword which was engulfed in flames and stuck the stone. The stone had a small crack from where the sword collides with it.
’10,000’
“Pass,’ The sect master said while looking at the stone and smiled.
‘She almost as the strength of peak xiantian realm expert while only in an early xiantian realm,’ The sect master thought.
Sia approached the stone and drew out a spear causing the sect master eye to shine with interests. Usually, most cultivation goes for swords, sabers, and bladed weapons as they are cheaper in most cases. But there is some exception where one has spear but it even rarer finding a female using the spear.
Sia stood in front of the stone but a small hissing noise started emitting from her body and she struck out making her spear look like a snake.
‘9,999’
“Pass,” The sect master said while seeing the stone collect more cracks.
After Sia had left the stage, it was Lucifer turn to go on stage but before he got to the stone the sect master sent him a message.
“Don’t shatter the stone this time.” The message simply said.
Instead of drawing his sword Lucifer simple transformed his hand into a dragon claw and put most of his strength and qi into his finger and flick the stone. The stone had a small creator where his finger flick it but the sect master could only smile as the stone didn’t shatter.

’16,000’
“Pass,” The sect master said while the crowd went off to dreamland as they ran away from reality in front of them.
After Lucifer step down and the last few went only a quarter made it while the rest failed. Now forty-nine are left for the third test. As the sect master stands in front of everyone he smiles but the receiving side it evil grin.
“Now I will explain the last trial which will expand over one month. The island that the trial is being held on is occupied by xiantian beasts and your goal is to collect one xiantian beast core or ten houtian cores. If you think you're going to die to shatter these talismans and someone will rescue you but this also mean you fail. Killing each other is also against the rule,” The sect master said in a lazy tone.
Soon a group of elder showed up and created a transferred array but in Lucifer eyes, it was low grade. The array began activating and soon worked to change the environment into a forest.
“Interesting the Qi energy here is at least three times where we just were,” Lucifer said.
“What interesting about it if just three times the energy,” Sia asked.
“Because it demonic energy which means unless you use demonic techniques it useless,” Lucifer said, “But that doesn’t apply to us as the techniques we use completely purify the demonic effect so use this time wisely.”
“How does he know all this? Sia whispered to Luna.
“Because he Lucifer,” Luna simply said.
Sia could only shake her head as she couldn’t understand the mystery of Lucifer. When they looked around they noticed the other who was teleported with them weren’t around as they must have teleported to a different location.
“ROAR”
An earth-shaking roar happens in the distant of the three while bird flew up into the sky running away. Soon the ground began to shake as whatever coming near was big really, REALLY BIG.
“I think we should run?” Luna said.
“I don’t think that going to help us at this point,” Lucifer said pointing at the giant head poking out of the tree.

8 1234Sword 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.

8 136Binary Progression: Torrented Edition
This was ment to be the self-published 'real' book of Binary Progression; turns out there isn't much of a market for this kind of story... that and it sucked! As such I am writing another (more successful) series but this was just laying about my book folder so I'm posting it here, please forget the fact I said it sucked, pretty please. JohnWillStab is the poorly-named shut-in on a quest to get into MMOs after a failed online career backfired leaving him uninterested in his speciality, strategy games. He discovers an old, abandoned game with an active, albeit very eccentric, community of no more than five-hundred players on a single server maintained by an unknown individual. Unbeknownst to him, the game he found is more than just an ordinary WoW clone and after many adventures with his group, they make the terrifying discovery that after two full volumes this story becomes a god damn isekai. What’s worse, JohnWillStab, the number-one edgelord on the server is somehow ending up in positions of power despite literally being an undead rogue with evil magic tentacles! Will John’s edginess ruin the isekai? Why does the doctor have the highest kill-count in the game? Is 👑 really a valid character you could use for your username? Can the chef perform an exorcism? Why is God asking John for chicken nuggets? Really, he could just spawn them in - in fact, we saw him spawning food in before!
