Chapter 221: March
~~~
The march to Rainstorm City is long.
The city is in the southern area of Murong Bang’s territory, closer to the border with the Crimson Cloud Empire than it is to Cloudburst City. It is not the sort of distance Liu Jin’s soldiers can cross in one day or even one week. Their cultivation is simply too weak f...

We are somehow in May already. A big thank you to all the patrons who have stuck with me this far, and a big welcome to all the new ones. I hope you all enjoy this month!
Here are the week's chapters:
Chapter 220: Ghost
~~~
Three days later, Liu Jin wakes up bright and early in the morning and goes outside the walls of Cloudburst City.
One hundred men wait for him there.
“It would be boring if you just went and wiped out the bandits all on your own, so I’ll put you under three restrictions. Number one, your title wi...
2023-05-01 11:55:00 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 219: Argument
~~~
Liu Jin manages to hold his tongue in the arena. He holds his tongue during the journey back to Murong Bang’s estate and even succeeds in waiting until he’s in Murong Bang’s great hall.
Any more than that would require a more patient heart than his.
“General, what is the meaning of this?!”

Been sick. Better now. Voice still kind of gone, but I don't use that to write. Would be nice if I did, though. Always been curious about those speech-to-text programs.
Here are the week's chapters:
Core Disciples, Chapter 219: Argument will go up on Wednesday morning. Apologies.
Announcement: Delay
Yep.
I've been super sick all week, and even now, my head's on fire, so the next chapter will not go up at the usual time.
I'm thinking Wednesday? Yeah, probably Wednesday. That's when the next chapter will go up for Core Disciples. Inner and Outer will get their updates as usual.
Apologies for the inc...

I'm back. Very tired. Have been away from all accounts way longer than I wanted to.
I now realize we're just a few neon lights and robo limbs away from cyberpunk megacorporations.
Here are the week's chapters:
2023-04-17 12:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 218: Plague
~~~
Hundreds if not thousands of faces stare at Liu Jin from all sides of the arena. It is as if everyone in Cloudburst City has come to watch. Liu Jin can even see several soldiers in the audience. While the normal citizens are all packed in the lower rows, the soldiers sit higher up, and the officers sit higher still....

Like I said last week, I'm going to be on a trip, so I'm not going to be able to answer any messages or stuff.
Because I am always so punctual about answering those otherwise. Yep.

“We have not been here for three full days, and already someone has tried to assassinate you. This place agrees with you,” Lu Mei says while relaxing on his couch.
Liu Jin stares at her.
He had expected her to be worried about what happened last night. Instead, she looks almost pleased by the attempt...

~~~
Are elements always something concrete like fire, earth, poison, etc? Or can they be more abstract? Like void, time, space, life or love?
Elements are usually something concrete. It’s easier to train with something you can interact with. However, there are some exceptions and some things tha...

I mentioned this on Monday, but I will be going on a trip later this week. I will be without my laptop and internet for some time, so you might not be able to reach me if anything happens.
Core Disciples should experience no changes. The chapters for the next two Mondays are already scheduled.

A couple of announcements this time.
First, I'll be going on a trip this week. I have taken steps to make sure you all get your chapters on time, but you probably won't be able to reach me next week because I won't have my computer or an internet connection for some time. A more detailed post on this will go up this Wed...

“Are you well?” Liu Jin asks when Lei Kong visits him the following day.
“Yes, my lord,” Lei Kong replies. “I have not encountered any incidents thus far. It seems my identity has gone undiscovered.”
“That is good to hear, but that is not what I am asking about,” Liu Jin says. “The memo...

Here are the week's chapters:
Chapter 215: Yourself is now available for Core Disciples. Also, we had a couple of interludes last week, so make sure you haven't missed those.
Chapter 215: Yourself
~~~
Murong Bang’s grand hall is unlike any Liu Jin has seen before.
There are no priceless jewels, gold ornaments, or polished surfaces anywhere to be seen. Weapons, it seems, are the only decorations allowed on these walls. Swords, maces, spears, knives, and more. There is not a single spot on the walls free of...

“Step outside! Take off your valuables and leave them behind!”
Rather than quaking in fear at the sudden appearance of bandits, those inside the Flame-Wheeled Wagons sigh and roll their eyes. A few crack their knuckles.
It is the third time already.
To the surprise of many, Murong Bang did send...

Few cities in the Storm Dragon Empire are as old as Cloudburst City.
Fertile land and abundant rain brought people to the area. A town was soon formed and quickly began expanding. As the decades passed, the city was not just producing agricultural goods but also giving birth to some of the most powerful fighte...

It began as a slight sense of discomfort, something that could easily be attributed to how exhausted he was after his battle with Liu Jin. That’s why Han didn’t pay it any mind at first. Even though the feeling persisted after his injuries were treated, Han was content to ignore it, confident it would go away in...

He is the Black Dragon’s son.
Lu Mei does not react. She cannot react. That is how big the shock is. Jin has left her utterly speechless.
The Black Dragon is not particularly well-known in the Crimson Cloud Empire, but it is impossible to avoid his name in the Storm Dragon Empire. Soldiers tel...

“I will join the expedition.”
It is not the first time Liu Jin hears those words this week. Surprising as it might be to believe, some people have volunteered to go with him to Murong Bang’s territory. Not many, but a few. About four or five so far, not counting Lu Mei.
For example, Ten Zichun, a d...

Spatial items have been there since nearly the beginning of the story, but they are also one of the things I have spoken about least. Understandably, there have been a few questions about them, so I thought I’d tackle them in this post.
Rarity
Let’s start with this. How rare are spatial items?...

As some of you may have noticed, we have a discord now. It's thanks our very own, Yoav. He was like, "Hey, I made a discord. How about we link it to the patreon." And I was like, "Okay, yeah."
So yeah, be nice to each other there.
Here are the week's chapters:
Chapter 212: Before Tribulation

“You need not feel obligated to do this,” Mud tells Liu Jin later that day. “General Dan does not command the Eternal Flame Clan. He can growl and howl all he wants, but by no means are we obligated to obey.”
Despite the words of encouragement, Liu Jin does not bother looking at Mud. He just stays by t...

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while now. Weeks, actually, but I kept getting side-tracked for one reason or another. Even this week, I meant to post this on Wednesday, but I got sick, so eh. That sucked.
