《The Sovereign's Ascension》Chapter 461 - Fight Till Blood Runs Out (1)
Advertisement
The moon was severed into two before it rose up into the sky, which meant that Situ Yi’s Martial Soul had been shattered before he could even bring it out. This caused a series of exclamations in the surroundings. Everyone was surprised about Situ Yi’s loss.
“How did Lin Yun manage to do that? And here I thought he would be in trouble since Situ Yi brought out his Martial Soul.”
“His attack is simply too quick. I bet Situ Yi never expected that speed either.”
“Definitely not. Otherwise, Situ Yi wouldn’t be so shocked.”
“Lin Yun probably expected that Situ Yi would summon his Martial Soul, so he had been waiting.”
“That’s terrifying. He completely suppressed Situ Yi without giving him a chance. This Lin Yun is a little strong…” They all thought that they had seen through Lin Yun’s strength in his fight with Heartcliff, but from the looks of it now, it seemed like they had to determine Lin Yun’s strength once again.
“He won!” The Sword Firmament Pavilion’s party revealed a smile on their faces. At the very least, Lin Yun didn’t lose the first round.
“Interesting. I’ve never been so terribly defeated,” said Situ Yi with disappointment. Not only did he fail to get into the top three, but he even lost fourth place. It was a pathetic showing.
“When did you see through my Martial Soul’s flaw?” asked Situ Yi while looking at Lin Yun. He was certain that Lin Yun was prepared or he wouldn’t have launched an attack so decisively.
“I didn’t. Everluck wasn’t able to break your Martial Soul simply because he wasn’t strong enough. But to me, it’s just a matter of one sword,” said Lin Yun honestly.
His words stunned Situ Yi. He smiled embarrassedly, “You’re really ruthless with your words. You’ve already won, but you still didn’t forget to give me another blow. No one has ever come out of Hell Mode, so I wish you good luck.”

Before he left, he gave Lin Yun a complicated gaze.
“According to the rules, you have one teatime of breath before the next fight begins,” said the judge. It was so short that it was practically the same as no rest.
“No need. Let’s carry on,” said Lin Yun calmly.
His words made the judge’s lips twitch. The time might be little, but it was still enough for Lin Yun to adjust himself for the next battle. But since Lin Yun didn’t want it, the judge could only shake his head and reply, “Alright then. Hell Mode’s second match, Flower Burial VS White.”
Bai Lixuan turned into a streak of light and landed on the stage. Not only did he manage to obtain a title in this competition, but he even made it into the top three. The two who were ranked before him were both older than him by at least three years.
Bai Lixuan was confident that he could surpass them as long as he had enough time. So Bai Lixuan was satisfied with his current achievements. As long as he could defeat Lin Yun in Hell Mode, he would have no regrets about this competition.
“Does Lin Yun really have the strength to defeat Bai Lixuan?”
“It shouldn’t be possible. After all, he just finished his fight with Situ Yi without any rest.”
Many people doubted Lin Yun. Bai Lixuan was a genius for a reason. He only lost to Trueorigin simply because his foundation wasn’t deep enough.
Bai Lixuan’s self-created move, the Thunderclap Crusher, had left a deep impression on many of the Violet Palace Realm elders that were present.
Everyone looked at Bai Lixuan and Lin Yun who were gradually approaching each other. Their grudges went back to the Azure Sun Realm, not to mention that Lin Yun even humiliated Bai Lixuan at Qin Yu’s wedding by shattering his sword. Bai Lixuan never expected that the ant in his eyes back in the Azure Sun Realm would come this far.

“Lin Yun, I really have to thank you. If you hadn’t picked Hell Mode, even if I became the champion, I would have some regrets.,” said Bai Lixuan as he looked at Lin Yun. For the first time, a smile appeared on his face.
“I’m afraid that you won’t be able to resolve your regrets here. I will defeat you, but I gave Guardian Plum my word that I won’t kill you.”
Back in the Azure Sun County, Bai Lixuan had given the Dragon Blooded Horse three palms, which Lin Yun swore he would take revenge for. Lin Yun also wanted to resolve their grudges through Hell Mode.
“Haha, Guardian Plum also made a similar request to me back then. But you have to be careful because I didn’t give him my promise. If there’s an opportunity, I’ll take your life,” said Bai Lixuan with a cold smile.
When he drew his sword, his movement was accompanied by rumbling lightning. He didn’t hold back with his attack and he instantly used the Thunderclap Sword at its strongest.
But no one had imagined that Lin Yun would also have the same thoughts. When he drew the Flower Burial Sword, he also pushed the Aquaselenic Sword to the limit. So much so that his sword was emitting a frightening chill.
It felt as if Lin Yun’s sword could freeze everything beneath the moon.
When the two clashed, their collision released a terrifying aura into the surroundings. The fluctuation created a powerful gale in the surroundings.
Creation and Destruction Lightning!
Bai Lixuan twirled the sword in his hand and created a loop of lightning. His sword flickered with lightning that was so bright that many people were struggling to keep their eyes open.
Torrential Wave!
Lin Yun circulated his Iris Sword Sutra fearlessly and unleashed a torrential wave at Bai Lixuan.
The two attacks collided violently on the stage and the blinding sword rays from their attacks were reflected on their faces. When their swords clashed, it produced a terrifying gale that made many people feel fearful of the energy fluctuations.
These were two monstrous geniuses and they were both from the same sect. Their clash instantly made many people excited. This was more exciting than Lin Yun’s fight with Situ Yi.
The two didn’t take a step back and instead fearlessly swung out another attack. One sword was like a rumbling lightning that roared furiously like a dragon. The other was like a moon hanging high in the sky that emitted boundless coldness.
In the blink of an eye, the two continuously clashed as they pushed their movement techniques to the limits. Occasionally, explosions and sword buzzes would ring out into the surroundings.
Lin Yun’s eyes flickered as a radiating moon rose up from his body and turned into a purple gleam that soared through the horizon. It was naturally the Aquaselenic Sword’s Luminous Moon.
“Puny tricks!” Bai Lixuan snorted and his sword suddenly transformed into a thirty meter long lightning bolt that he hacked down with it.
When the moon and bolt of lightning exploded, the remnant fluctuations slammed onto their bodies at the same time. This lit up the entire stage, filling up the stage with the violent energy from the attacks.

Sword 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.
