Chapter 1247: In the Air, Enter the Ground
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Thousand-faced Human Fox broke free of the formation, he did not leave immediately.
Because after he left, the Sword Sect disciples had their qi change drastically. The One Thousand Sword Formation caused the weather to change and the clouds to stir. Destructive sword qis raged through the air, causing him, who had gone through all sorts of situations, to suck in a sharp breath. He became worried about Happy.
So he watched Happy as he moved around among countless fierce sword qis. Even though plenty of Sword Sect disciples were sent to their feet occasionally, they would be quickly brought away. And Thousand-faced Human Fox could tell clearly that Happy’s condition became worse. His true origin aura was about to drop to a dangerously low level.
At that moment, suddenly, a shocking sword qi tore through the skies and cut down multiple trees to charge at Thousand-faced Human Fox at the speed of lightning.
Thousand-faced Human Fox was shocked. By pure reflex, he jumped several feet away.
Bang!
A sword force that was a few feet long crashed into the spot where he previously was, and a gash that was as deep as two feet was left behind. It was a terrifying sight to behold.
A torn piece of cloth from a sleeve slowly fell down beside the gash.
A rather shocked but light gasp rose in the air.
“I didn’t expect that Happy’s follower would have such rare attainments in his lightness skill…”
It was Sword Sect’s master!
Thousand-faced Human Fox did not even need to look to know that he had nearly been split in half like that piece of cloth. Cold sweat instantly broke on his forehead. He did not dare to stay where he was. He quickly turned into a plum of gray smoke and jumped dozens of feet away.
Even though Thousand-faced Human Fox had already fled more than three hundred feet away, the sect master’s voice continued entering his ears clearly.
“I was wondering how Happy could possibly have such a powerful but old follower with him. So, you’re wearing a human skin mask. Hmph, no matter what, Happy is going to die today. I’d like to see just how you are.”
The sect master’s words caused Thousand-faced Human Fox to be really nervous.
He used his full strength to start moving.
If someone in the dao of heaven was determined to chase after him, it was impossible for him to flee.
When he thought about how his reputation was about to be ruined by the sect master and how his mighty name as one of the Four Divine Thieves was about to be destroyed, Thousand-faced Human Fox became really tense, and he did not dare to stop for even a single second.
However, at that moment, a gasp suddenly rose in the air.
It was the sect master’s, and this time, he sounded much more surprised and solemn than before. It seemed like something that caused him to be really nervous happened.

Thousand-faced Human Fox quickly noticed that the powerful pressure that surrounded him and the feeling of his qi activity being locked down had abruptly vanished without a trace.

“Hmm?”
Thousand-faced Human Fox knew that this was because the sect master’s attention and mind had been attracted by something else.
What was more important than himself?
Thousand-faced Human Fox knew that this meant that something had happened in the One Thousand Sword Formation.
He was delighted. Thousand-faced Human Fox quickly traveled hundreds of feet away before he went around the area and headed back to the One Thousand Sword Formation quietly from another direction.
When he came back, Thousand-faced Human Fox noticed to his shock that Happy, who had become increasingly weaker because of the One Thousand Sword Formation and was surrounded by danger, had started brimming with endless energy again.
Not only had his true origin aura become full and thick, while he moved around and dodged, he would deliver multiple palm strikes, and it was incredibly domineering!
Besides, with Thousand-faced Human Fox’s sharp wit and observational skills, based on the rhythm Happy used multiple times to dodge, he quickly noticed that Happy was not using his full strength to break out. Instead, he seemed to be intentionally staying in the formation.
When he saw through this, Thousand-faced Human Fox immediately became at ease.
When Happy used his third drop of Fire Qilin Blood, his Supreme Technique of the World had already increased to the later stage of the fifth realm.
Right then, Happy had calmed down completely.
He had already chosen to overlook just how valuable and precious Fire Qilin Blood was. He just seized the chance to quickly level up his Supreme Technique of the World. Even if Fire Qilin Blood was really precious, Happy was not bothered by it. He just focused on moving around in the One Thousand Sword Formation.
As his Supreme Technique of the World continued leveling up, the domineering presence the alliance master once displayed, as if he was a superior being descending in the mortal world, swiftly appeared on Happy.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the beginning, he was only able to send thirteen people off their feet, but now, he could kill sixteen people in one go!
The speed and power in the martial art had both increased exponentially.
And this figure was because the enemies nearby were to scattered. Otherwise, if he used his full strength to attack them, the numbers would increase.
But Happy did not waste his time or chance.
In one breath, he killed the Sword Sect disciples nearby. Several palm-generated gusts were flung out, and he easily crushed the sword qis that came charging at him from all directions, which allowed him to reduce the pressure his true origin aura had to face.
When his Supreme Technique of the World reached the sixth realm, he was finally at the level where he could bring it to the table. Wherever the gusts he generated went to, hidden force would pulsate happily, and they moved according to his will.
Since he placed hidden force in the gusts, it meant that those gusts had an increase of thirty percent in their strength!
When someone in Inaction Realm was hit by it, his chest would immediately cave. He would not even have the time to grunt. He would just die.
“Hahahaha! The sixth realm is great!
“Jian Ao, if you still refuse to come out, you won’t have a lot of disciples left!”
Happy suddenly laughed happily!
Under countless Sword Sect disciples’ shocked gazes, he tapped against the ground in an incredibly conceited manner and shot to the crowd like an arrow.

His feet left the ground. He did not even need to land on the ground. He just flew in the air to head to an area where quite a dense group of Sword Sect disciples gathered.
While he was on the way…
Shick!
Many sword qis tore through the air to weave an ever-changing sword net that blocked his path.
At the same time, multiple sword qis chased after him.
Those hundreds of sword qis formed a pincer attack!
When Happy saw that he had just landed in the most terrifying wave of attacks in the One Thousand Sword Formation, he did not panic. He just brought out the dazzling Heaven Crystal from his Universe Bag with one hand.
Clang!
The sword glares, with their astonishing momentum, was instantly crushed by a power that made space itself shudder.
The sword qis also crumbled on the spot.
Without any obstructions, Happy sped forward without slowing down. With an aggressive presence, he arrived above the group of Sword Sect disciples.
Clang…
This group of people were sent flying. Their longswords fell down on the ground with pitiful whines.
Dozens of Sword Sect disciples fell on the ground in a dishevelled heap.
However, losing dozens of Sword Sect disciples would not affect the operations of the One Thousand Sword Formation. The formation changed, and the gaap was immediately filled up. Someone outside the formation quickly took the place of the injured members and filled up the sword formation!
Whoosh!
More longswords flew in the air with chilling presences and aggressive momentums. They formed a new wave of attacks.
As Happy faced the hundreds of fierce sword qis that came at him from everywhere, he did not immediately dodge.
He spun around and charged to the sky.
The ground around him suddenly let out a long bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was as if countless explosives were hidden in the ground, and it looked as if the entire ground exploded. The sword qis that came charging from all directions were scattered by the qi wave that gushed forward in all directions.
Happy seized the chance and entered the sword formation again. While the air was filled with dust, he mercilessly killed a Sword Sect disciple.
“Attack!”
“Continue!”
“Don’t let that demon escape!”
The Sword Sect disciples had clearly become angry from the fight. Even though there was a continuous stream of companions that were lifted out of the sword formation, more people rushed out of the forest. As long as they lost some members in the formation, they would immediately fill up those positions to complete the One Thousand Sword Formation.
When Happy saw this, he was happy.
In truth, when the Supreme Technique of the World reached the sixth realm, a unique ability attached to this martial art would make itself known.
He could fly in the air!
He could have hidden force gather at the bottom of his feet, and it could pulsate at a frequency that could hardly be detected by the naked eye. It could ensure that his feet would not touch the ground, and he could also improve his body movements and lightness skills even further.
The increase in his movement speed and the increase in the damage of his hidden force was just one of the aspects in this martial art.
After he entered the sixth realm, the first style, Enter the Ground, was uncovered.
It was another powerful move that caused his hidden force to explode. It was a large AOE that could attack all targets within a circular area of 325 feet, and the damage was sixty percent of his normal attack.
Even though it was not as terrifying as Wild Fights in All Directions, at that moment, it was even more effective than Wild Fights in All Directions.
While dust filled the sky, he seized the time to send more than one hundred Sword Sect members flying.
But as the martial art’s level increased, the slower the speed he could make it level up. Even so, this time, he was still able to make it level up by two levels.
Happy felt really pleased.
He knew that the sect master would not dare to enter the sect to fight against him no matter how much he watched. At that moment, he took a pill and decided to continue.
Today, even if he did not push the Supreme Technique of the World to perfection, he could make it reach the ninth or tenth realm!
“Master!”
While he was feeling really pleased with himself, Thousand-faced Human Fox’s voice suddenly traveled into his ears.
‘Thousand-faced Human Fox? He wasn’t killed by the sect master!’
Happy was overjoyed again.
“You’re okay?”
“I’m alright. It’s thanks to you attracted the sect master’s attention, otherwise, my old self might end up dead in the sect master’s hands,” Thousand-faced Human Fox answered, feeling lucky.
“Your old self? Do you really think you’re old now?” Happy teased him in a joking manner.
Thousand-faced Human Fox laughed drily. “Ahem… Since you said that, I can be completely at ease now… When do you intend to break out of the formation?”
“I’m not in a hurry.”
“Then, should I wait here or at the foot of the mountain?”
“At the foot—” Happy answered instinctively, but before he finished his sentence, he suddenly had a thought in his head. “Don’t!”
Thousand-faced Human Fox was stunned. He did not know whether he should leave or stay.
Thousand-faced Human Fox’s words gave Happy a reminder.
He remembered that most of the Sword Sect disciples were here, and the sect master hid in a corner, not daring to lower his guard in the slightest. Suddenly, Happy thought of a brilliant plan.
“The sect master only remembers to pay attention to me, but he’s not paying attention to you. We’ll be letting him down if we don’t do something…”
“Huh?”
“Are you dumb? Why would you go down the mountain? Didn’t I ask you to empty their coffers?”
“Oh! Yeah!” Thousand-faced Human Fox found himself speechless and said, “I was worried about you just now and was chased around by the sect master for a while. It terrified me so much that I forgot. Don’t worry, master, I’ll leave right now!”
Once he finished speaking, Thousand-faced Human Fox swiftly vanished from the forest and said nothing else.
Happy sucked in a deep breath and calmed down to continue restoring his qi while he seized his time to practice the Supreme Technique of the World, aiming to push it to the seventh realm.

Mana Soul
Like many others across the multiverse, Markus was chosen as this world's hero to fight against the steadily approaching cataclysm. Only, something went horribly wrong. Left with only a handful of memories, Markus has spent years clawing his way up from poverty and officially registered as an adventurer to try and make his fortune. Unfortunately, Artificers are the least combat-capable class of the four classes, and Markus has no connections to join an established party. With the fate of countless worlds hanging in the balance, a chance meeting will determine the course of a war nearly as old as reality itself. Warning: Markus has trauma induced amnesia and will occasionally 'act out of character' or make 'poorly thought out' decisions. These events are rather obvously telegraphed abd represent conflicts between his current personality and the one repressed alongside his trauma. Just something to bear in mind.The story will bounce predominantly back and forth between the primary protagonists every couple of chapters. The time stream is linear, so events are not revisted/rehashed/retold through the narrative format. Characters may comment on something that has occurred, but that's different. Just giving a heads up.Chapters will be around 7-9k and updated 1/week on the same schedule as my other story Ogre Tyrant over the weekend.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.
