Chapter 554: Gamble
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
At this time, there were two silhouettes walking in space above the clouds, where the absolute beginning region was in Yu Xiang mountain .
Yu Xiang mountain was where the core geniuses of the Virtual Universe company gathered .
Thunder island was where the undyings of the Virtual Universe company and the absolute warriors gathered .
Meaning, that Yu Xiang mountain and Thunder island, the space in which they were located was in truth the headquarters! The number of warriors gathered was even more than in reality . Under normal circumstances, Luo Feng and the rest had no way to fly that high .
They were unable to fly out of Yu Xiang mountain to Thunder island .
They couldn’t fly too far away from Yu Xiang mountain either, just like an invisible barrier that covered the entire area! Same theory . Thunder island, which was the gathering place for countless undyings and stronger beings, had a formless barrier too . Those beings couldn’t fly too far from Thunder island!
Hence…
To be able to leave Yu Xiang mountain and Thunder island and fly within this space above, these were definitely the true upper echelons and powerful beings .
There were two people walking slowly in the space . One of them was almost 8m tall, and was dressed in silver armor, baring his arms and neck . As for his face, it was dark red in color, and there was a rhombus crystal embedded between his eyes . He too had a thick strong tail, and his deep eyes look almost like stars burning .
From one look, one could tell that this being was a Mother Flame race person .
And the other was only 2m tall, skinny and dressed in a peculiar black armor, and on it were countless silver engravings . In the middle of his forehead he had a 3rd eye…a vertical eye . That eye seemed to be a place where a golden blade was gathered at, giving off the feeling as though his gaze was like knives shooting out .
“Hahaha! Mother Flame, look below . One of the two punks below is your descendant . ” The 3 eyed man gazed below . Through 10,000 km of space, he clearly saw the two, who were preparing to battle .
Mother Flame?
The ancient Mother Flame race, only one person was worthy of the name Mother Flame, that was the 1st mother flame race person born within the vast universe! He was the first, after mating with other races, through countless years, the race was established .
He was the only ancestor head of the clan for over a trillion years, and was also the Flame crystal universe country leader!
“He’s called Sa Jin . He is a genius from the fire dragon side . ” Mother Flam gazed below and smiled .
“Mother flame, who do you think will win below?” The 3 eyed man laughed lightly .
“Of course Sa Jin!” Mother Flame laughed confidently . He then looked at the 3 eyed man beside and said, “Why, Mang Ya, you don’t agree?”

The 3 eyed man smiled, “I bet that his opponent wins . If I win, you have to give me that dagger of yours, how about it?”
“Dream on!” Mother Flame stared .
“Fine, not your dagger then . But if I win, you’ll have to give me that golden horn world stone instead . How about that?” The 3 eyed man said .
Mother flame glanced and smiled, “That’s fine . But, if I win instead, you’ll have to give me the Purple Thunder glass . “
“Ok!” The 3 eyed man replied .
“Haha…then get ready to give that exquisite glass to me . ” Mother flame said .
“You get ready to give me that stone too . A golden horned beast can only gather enough to make one such stone in its life . With that, my disciple’s weapon’s main material would be acquired . ” The 3 eyed man smiled .
The two of them smiled, while gazing below .
The purple thunder glass and the golden horn world stone, those were mysterious items formed in the universe .
The golden horn world stone, only the pinnacle of the 12 space beasts, the golden horned beast could produce it . And it could only produce one in its entire life . As the numbers of the beast were extremely low in the universe, this stone was extremely rare and valuable .
As for the purple thunder glass, in the universe, only the bug clan region’s terrifying Thunder shrine produced it . This thunder shrine, countless years ago had a peculiar clan that lived in it, even that clan had yet to fully explore the secret region .
Later on, that clan was destroyed by the automaton race!
The thunder shrine then became a strongly reputed secret region, causing trillions of races in the vast universe to head over and explore it . The undyings of the humans too went over . The thunder glass was a more important and valuable material .
“Hehe, 10,000 thread movement . ” The 3 eyed man nodded and smiled .
“Haha, 9 fists! He’s bound to win . ” Mother flame smiled too .
The two of them continued to gaze below .
. . .
Yu Xiang mountain absolute beginning region, in that arena, Luo Feng and Sa Jin’s fight had already reached the craziest level .
“Rumble…”
Sa Jin’s one punch immediately caused the surround space to crumble . His eyes were staring straight at Luo Feng, “Punk, you are bound to lose!”
Sou!
Sa Jin’s speed exploded and his movement became peculiar and hard to predict . It was almost as though in an instant there were two Sa Jin’s rushing over, and yet it also felt like there was only one .
“His 9 fists already warps the space itself, and his silhouette and image seems real to the naked eye . ” Luo Feng’s expression changed . Stepping on the dark cloud shuttle, he unleashed the 10,000 thread movement and dodged . He simultaneously controlled the blade world, and with only half of the world left to extend, he borrowed the blade world’s energy and locked onto his target!

“It’s no use!”
Sa Jin roared and instantly reached before Luo Feng .
Rumble!
That 30cm thick, red light huge fist was like two dark red hammers . There were flames surrounding the fists . It was fast like lightning, leaving a streak of flames and hitting Luo Feng’s body . Chi! Luo Feng became a blur and dispersed .
“So fast . ” A few km away, Luo Feng stared at Sa Jin on the dark cloud shuttle . Once again a thread of condensed golden blade energy appeared before him!
“Go!”
The dark golden blade energy tore through the space forward .
Luo Feng didn’t control the blade energy to match force with force . but rather, he used it to attack from peculiar angles, affecting Sa Jin’s speed .
“Roar!” Sa Jin was frustrated as he was stuck . With a roar, the flames around him condensed and simultaneously a dark red light formed around his bones and skin all over . He resembled a person wearing a dark golden light armor, simultaneously his right fist became a blur .
Peng!
It was extremely fast, as it knocked against the blade energy .
“It’s speed is so much faster than before?” The distant Luo Feng’s expression changed .
“I was prepared to use this against Ke Luo Fu . However today I’ll let you try it out!” Sa Jin’s speed exploded and he rushed towards Luo Feng .
Sou! Sou!
His movement was fast like lightning . Luo Feng was getting fatigued just from dodging, it was risky .
. . .
“Black Hole evolution’s Flame Crystal 9 bodies? This Sa Jin has actually completed one of the levels?” The grey robed Ni Nan below the arena changed his expression, “It’ll be very hard for me to beat him . “
Flame crystal 9 bodies, was one of the other techniques within Black hole evolution .
In terms of power, the 9 fists was stronger .
The flame crystal 9 bodies, once completed, one’s entire body will have an armor like layer . Also, it wasn’t only for defense, it would amplify the warrior’s speed and attack as well, it was a very powerful technique . However, simply starting this was very hard . That Sa Jin was from the Mother Flame race, hence he was naturally suited for this . With high talents and a good teacher, after training hard for thousands of years, he finally had some progress .
. . .
“Luo Feng is in trouble now . ” Rong Jun’s expression changed .
“That block head is moving too fast . ” Wuka stared wide eyed too .
The group of newbies .
And the universe level seniors, including the sector lords and domain lords were all shocked . Not just power, but level wise…this Sa Jin could be considered among the middle and top even amongst the domain lord level geniuses .
“This Luo Feng is about to lose . “
“Hm, no shame in this loss . “
He was overpowered .
Luo Feng was indeed being overpowered . Sa Jin who had unleashed the flame crystal 9 bodies, was a strange being after all . His fists speed could already keep up with the blade energy speed, and his body movement could catch up to Luo Feng on the dark cloud shuttle . After two attempts, during the 3rd time, his fists hit Luo Feng’s 6 edged shield .
Rumble…
The shield was knocked away and Luo Feng fell hard on the arena ground, leaving a crater on the surface .
“You actually didn’t die? Your usage of the shield is just as good as a strong fighter’s . ” Sa Jin smiled, “However, it’s useless!”
Strong fighter?
Shield and blade, these were what the Mosha clansman had trained in the Illusionary techniques for many years . It used the blade well, naturally the shield defense was just as strong .
“Rumble!” Sa Jin rushed over again .
Luo Feng who was on the ground looked up fiercely, staring at Sa Jin, he roared, “Go and die!!!”
Weng…
The blade world fiercely rose in all directions, and a condensed gold blade energy gathered before him . Sa Jin still rushed over without a care, but suddenly, he revealed a look of shock…
“Rumble!”
A terrifying consciousness pressure descended on him, smashing against Sa Jin’s consciousness!
One of Luo Feng’s trump cards…Consciousness pressure!
The golden horned beast was already domain lord level 9 . This domain lord level 9 beast, just in terms of consciousness strength…was comparable to a human sector lord level 3’s pressure!
Back when Luo Feng was in blood river world .
The domain lord pinnacle consciousness pressure was enough to cause a star level’s soul to instantly crumble, with a glance, he would die!
And right now, Sa Jin had encountered a sector lord level 3 pressure . Even though that Sa Jin had a good bloodline and high talents, and had many miraculous encounters, in terms of consciousness strength he was at most a domain lord level 1 or 2 .
There was one huge level gap!
Even if he didn’t die, he would still be thrown off balance for a while, losing all resistance!
This ability was very powerful . While exploring Blood River world, Luo Feng used this often . However, when he attempted the heavenly bridge level 7, he never used it at all . Because…the heavenly bridge was a test of one’s comprehension of the laws . Using the consciousness pressure would be akin to somewhat cheating, and Luo Feng was afraid the Virtual Universe system would immediately be on alert . Hence, he never used it before in the heavenly bridge .
However, during a 1v1?
He could still use it!
“Rumble!” Sa Jin instantly spaced out, and his eyes were lifeless .
Chi!
The dark golden blade energy shot through his eyes and pierced his head! As it pierced through, his eyes seemed to gleam a little, as though he had regained consciousness . However, it was too late…
Rumble…
Sa Jin fell on the floor, smashing into the arena .
“Return!” Luo Feng stood up . The countless little golden blades in the sky around all flew back into the dark golden long rod .
Victory!

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

Title Pending Adventures of Jackson and Barbara in another world!
Jackson Ripper is transported with his class to another world. As one would expect, they are asked to fight in a pending war, much to Jackson's distain. But, a month after arriving he is separated from the rest of his classmates and loses an arm and a leg. Worse yet, the person who mutilated him clings to his side. Now, he begins travelling with this walking natural disaster in a strange new world. Author notes: This is a story I started writing roughly two years ago (roughly 2017) on a whim and started using it to improve my writing skills. As such, it's mostly wish fulfillment based loosely on anime, light/web novels and comics. But wait, why post my strange, gruesome dream world on the internet? Because, I have a goal of one day writing something worth publishing. But to reach that goal, I need criticism, suggestion and advice. Plus it feels like a waste to keep this beauty all to myself. I currently plan to release one chapter a week, on Saturday afternoon or evening.
