《I Am Overlord》Chapter 646: Not Even Worthy of Scratching My Itch
Advertisement
Xiang Shaoyun replied lazily, "Children, go play somewhere else. Don't look for trouble."
After what he had experienced in recent years, Xiang Shaoyun had matured significantly compared to his peers. In his eyes, Hui Yuzheng was behaving like a big baby.
Finding the reply hilarious, Shang Yafang laughed and said, "Big Brother Shaoyun, you're really funny. By the way, are you calling me a child as well?"
"But you guys are really children," said Xiang Shaoyun seriously.
Hui Yuzheng was completely infuriated.
"Come over here and let this young master show you who the child is," shouted Hui Yuzheng furiously.
"Hui Yuzheng, don't look for trouble. Big Brother Shaoyun can crush you with one finger," said Shang Yafang.
"If he really has that ability, I'll voluntarily let him crush me," said Hui Yuzheng with disdain.
As far as he was concerned, Xiang Shaoyun was merely a pretty boy. He had to teach this outsider a lesson he would never forget.
Xiang Shaoyun sighed and said, "You should all come together. If you manage to harm me, consider it my bad luck, and I'll leave right away. If you can't even harm me by attacking together, call me boss, and I'll spare you. How about that?"
"Fine, since you are trying to die, bring it on," said Hui Yuzheng, sneering.
"Big Brother Shaoyun, are you sure?" Shang Yafang became somewhat anxious.
"Alright. Just watch," said Xiang Shaoyun as he shot her a comforting gaze before stepping forward.
"Take my punch!" Hui Yuzheng made the first move.
From how he attacked immediately, it could be seen that he was quite a crafty person. The punch was aimed at Xiang Shaoyun's face, and a heavy might was behind it, making it clear he was trying to blast Xiang Shaoyun's face into pieces.

His friends cheered, "Crush him! Crush him!"
Bang!
Before the fist could land, a powerful force appeared and bounced Hui Yuzheng back, sending him flying. After flying more than 10 meters, he crashed on the ground. As for the other youngsters, they were all stunned.
Hui Yuzheng was their admired boss, a number one genius in their eyes. But their boss had been sent flying just like that. Obviously, their target was much stronger than their boss. More importantly, their target seemed to be of a similar age to them.
Hui Yuzheng got back on his feet, massaging the fist he had thrown out. Numbness and an uncomfortable sensation were assaulting it. He finally realized that he had underestimated the outsider. Of course, that was not enough to make him fear Xiang Shaoyun. This was Shang City. Apart from Shang Clan members, nobody could force him to retreat.
"See? I told you to attack together. You have suffered because you refused to listen," said Xiang Shaoyun with a helpless shrug.
"Hui Yuzheng, just return. I told you Big Brother Shaoyun could crush you with just one finger," said Shang Yafang smugly.
Hui Yuzheng felt somewhat embarrassed, but he still commanded his friends, "Use your weapons and attack with your full strength. I refuse to believe he can stop all of us."
The others did as told and drew their weapons before blasting Xiang Shaoyun with their attacks.
Rumble! Rumble!
Multicolored explosions erupted as attack after attack landed on Xiang Shaoyun. The resulting effect of so many Skysoar Realm cultivators attacking together was quite remarkable. Shang Yafang watched on as everything happened, anxiousness rising within her.
Hui Yuzheng and company did not stop after a round of attack. Instead, they repeated their attacks several times, showing their determination to defeat Xiang Shaoyun. Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun, who was within the midst of the storm of attacks, had five layers of Goldplates around him, protecting him from all the attacks.

After he advanced into the Emperor Realm, he had also pushed his Six Goldplate Manual to the third stage, the Goldplate stage. So long as he grasped the final level, forming six Goldplates, he could be considered to have fully mastered the technique.
With his current defensive power, not even a third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator could harm him. Thus, even with all of them attacking together, Hui Yuzheng and company would never be able to harm Xiang Shaoyun.
"Enough! Are you not ashamed of yourself? Why are you still not stopping?" shouted Shang Yafang, who couldn't watch on anymore.
After sending two more rounds of attacks over, Hui Yuzheng and the others stopped.
"Let me see if he can even still stand after all that," said Hui Yuzheng smugly. He was confident Xiang Shaoyun had most definitely been defeated.
Defying all his expectations, when the dust settled, Xiang Shaoyun was standing completely unharmed. He was surrounded by golden scales, looking incredibly noble. Hui Yuzheng and the others opened their eyes wide in shock, their mouths wide agape.
"You're not even worthy of scratching my itch," said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently.
He took a step forward, and a powerful presence of an Emperor spread out from him. A heavy pressure blasted Hui Yuzheng and his friends. They wailed miserably and were sent flying and coughing up blood.
Xiang Shaoyun then walked toward Hui Yuzheng before saying, "It's time to fulfill your promise."
Hui Yuzheng stared at Xiang Shaoyun with indignation, not willing to call him boss.
But the moment he met Xiang Shaoyun's domineering gaze, he shivered, and before he even knew it, he called out, "B-boss!"
"Good. How about you guys?" asked Xiang Shaoyun as he scanned the others.
Naturally, they did not dare to hesitate and called out, "Boss!"
"Alright. You may leave now." Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand. "Of course, you're welcome to come take your revenge at any time. I'm staying at the Shang Clan's residence."
Shang Yafang interrupted, "Big Brother Shaoyun is my brother's boss. They are both genius disciples from Dragon Phoenix Academy. If you want your revenge, think it through before seeking it."
Her words shattered the little confidence the youngsters had into pieces. If Hui Yuzheng was a boss in their hearts, then Shang Jifeng was the boss of bosses for them. He was their undisputed idol. And now, the boss of the boss of bosses was standing before them. At this moment, they came to accept their defeat wholeheartedly.
"Boss, in the future, you're my boss," said Hui Yuzheng as he pushed himself up and hugged Xiang Shaoyun's legs.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Rebirth of a Emperor
An Emperor reaches the end of his days, exiled and living in misery in a faraway land together with his entire dynasty and some friends from his time of rule. He regrets never being able to return to his beloved country and wonders if he made the right choice by leaving his throne to avoid a massive conflict but tries to comfort himself knowing many lives were spared. As he dies however, visions of a strange future appear as if to answer his doubt, making him shed tears of remorse, for his country's fate is not a good one after him, making his end truly a miserable one. However unexpectedly, his eyes open again to a place never seen before to a people he had no recollection of, in the embrace of a woman he at first has no idea of who it was. This strange, absurd situation quickly makes him realise what just happened, he does not know how he came to grasp the situation, but something made him understand this: This isnt his world and there is no turning back, no way to see his homeland again nor his family. In this horrible realisation, he cried, much like the infant he was now, marking his rebirth to this new world, which he saw as a punishment from God for his actions. ----------- Note from author: this story is the first i ever published, so please, to anyone who takes an interest in it, have a bit of patience with me and if you can, give me a bit of good old criticism. For now i will publish small chapters for i am not very confident in this, but as i write more and gain some experience i will release longer and better ones. Also English isn't my mother language so any advice or correction is welcomed.
