Chapter 9: Common Basic Staff Technique
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From the looks of it, this was clearly the final boss of the camp.
But Wang Shuo had long mentally prepared himself for the last big tent.
He had honed his staff techniques on those small fries to enhance his strength as much as possible just so that he could deal with this situation.
“This guy also uses a staff. What a coincidence. I wonder if killing him will drop a secret manual!”
His eyes gleaming brightly, Wang Shuo licked his lips.
“Human, you’re not bad!”
To Wang Shuo’s surprise, the kobold leader didn’t display any anger but instead appeared extremely calm.
The other party spoke an unfamiliar language, but Wang Shuo understood it perfectly.
He was already used to the miraculous quirks of the game, so there was nothing surprising about it.
But he was surprised that his foe possessed intelligence.
He tried asking, “Can you say anything else?”
The kobold leader holstered the black staff that was almost his height behind his back with his right hand and slowly walked forward.
His voice was brimming with power, resembling the growling of a beast. “Human, join my race, and I will spare your life.”
A strange look flashed across Wang Shuo’s eyes. “How do I join?”
“As long as you swear an oath to the Temple and join our kobold race, I will personally guarantee you a smooth and safe passage through the Newcomer’s Trial.”
Wang Shuo showed a curious expression. “Is the Newcomer’s Trial difficult?”
“Nine paths of death and one path of life.”
The kobold leader continued confidently, “The Newcomer’s Trial is divided into three levels. The first level is just for you to adapt. Starting from the second level, the difficulty will increase significantly.”
In every Newcomer’s Trial, only one in ten thousand could pass the third level.
“As long as you are willing to join our race, I can teach you our race’s Inheritance Skill and guarantee that you will be able to safely pass the Newcomer’s Trial.”
Wang Shuo asked curiously, “Can you tell me what the third level of the trial is?”

“This is all I can tell you. Any more, and I will violate the Temple’s restrictions.”
“What is the Temple?”
“The Temple supreme, and any speculation of the Temple is blasphemy.”
The kobold leader replied sincerely. But seeing that Wang Shuo wanted to ask more, his face darkened. “This is all the information I can tell you.
“Give your answer now!”
“That’s it?” Wang Shuo smacked his lips regretfully. “My answer is—KILL!”
Before he finished speaking, Wang Shuo instantly sprung up and leaped two meters into the air. Then he used a simple and unadorned Mountain Chop, smashing his staff down violently.
With the enhancement his powerful Physique gave, the Green Dragon Staff emitted an ear-piercing roar as it struck down like a bolt of lightning.
“You’re courting death!” The kobold leader still didn’t understand that he had been played and raised his staff to block.
Clang!
As soon as they exchanged blows, Wang Shuo’s eyes narrowed.
The feedback from the weapon clearly told him that his opponent’s Physique was not weaker than his.
But he immediately grinned.
The center of the kobold leader’s black staff actually had a slight bend after blocking the attack!
“Impossible!” The kobold leader’s expression changed drastically. With a flick of his wrist, he immediately displayed a show of explosive strength. Wang Shuo’s palm turned numb, and the Green Dragon Staff bounced back involuntarily.
At the same time, the kobold leader immediately took the opportunity to straighten his staff back.
Wang Shuo wiggled his fingers to get some sensation back as his eyes lit up.
The move the kobold leader used was obviously a special technique. Moreover, it was much more exquisite than the moves he had figured out himself. “If only I could get my hands on it!”
The kobold leader stared at the Green Dragon Staff. “What kind of weapon is this?”
“You’ll find out soon enough!” Wang Shuo was too lazy to waste his breath on him, and he immediately swung the Green Dragon Staff once more.
But the distance was not enough this time, so his target was the weapon in his opponent’s hand.

The kobold leader spun his long staff, and a similar twisting force as just now erupted, wanting to disperse the force of the Green Dragon Staff.
But although the kobold leader’s strength was not low and his technique was much better, his weapon was clearly inferior.
As soon as the two staffs came into contact, the black staff immediately deformed, causing this exquisite move to peter out.
Seeing this, Wang Shuo became even more ferocious. The Green Dragon Staff danced in his hands even more eagerly. What he was doing couldn’t be considered a proper technique but rather a chaotic flurry of attacks.
Relying on the advantage of his weapon, he shamelessly pressed his advantage and wildly smashed everything in his way.
In less than half a minute, the kobold leader’s weapon broke into two pieces.
The kobold leader felt incredibly aggrieved. He could clearly see that this human’s staff technique was extremely crude and could not even be considered a technique at all.
But the quality of his weapon was too high, far exceeding his middle yellow-tier Black Wind Staff.
It could be said that he possessed many skills but had nowhere to display them.
“I refuse to accept this!”
The kobold leader’s eyes were spitting fire, but he could only helplessly hold the two short, warped Black Wind Staff remnants like walking sticks to block left and right desperately.
“It’s up to me whether you can accept it or not!”
Wang Shuo could see that his opponent was like an arrow at the end of its flight. So with the attitude of a virus aiming to take life, he took the opportunity to sweep his left hand and sent one of the short remnants of the staff flying.
Caught off guard, the kobold leader was simply unable to prevent it.
He was already barely able to hold on, but now, he could no longer hold on.
Clang!
With a deafening blast, the palm of the kobold leader split open, and the last staff remnant was knocked to the ground.
“Die!”
Wang Shuo leaped high into the air and unleashed another crude Mountain Chop.
The kobold leader was unable to avoid it and could only raise his arms to block it. But the mystic-tier Green Dragon Staff wasn’t something a body of flesh and blood could withstand.
With the enhancement of Wang Shuo’s tyrannical strength, the Green Dragon Staff swept across like a gale, shattering the opponent’s arm as if it was rotten wood. But the remaining force didn’t dissipate and continued forward to smash the opponent’s head open like a watermelon.
[You killed the Kobold Leader.]
[You receive White Treasure Chest x1.]
[You exterminated the Kobold Camp.]
[You receive Kobold Leader’s Inheritance Treasure Chest x1.]
The White Treasure Chest was still the same as before, so Wang Zhuo chose 18 Five Grains Pills again.
Next was the Kobold Leader’s Inheritance Treasure Chest.
Soon, the treasure chest’s loot was listed.
There were three options.
[Bloodline Body Tempering Technique]
Grade: Middle Yellow Tier
Description: Use kobold blood as the foundation to temper the body.
Note: Cultivators must have the kobold bloodline.
[Black Wind Staff]
Grade: Middle Yellow Tier
Description: Black, thick, and hard. Easy to use.
[Common Basic Staff Technique]
Grade: Lower Yellow Tier
Description: This is a set of staff techniques developed by the kobolds. It contains all the moves for staff techniques.
Wang Shuo chose the Common Basic Staff Technique without hesitation.
The next moment, many moves relating to staff techniques suddenly appeared in his mind.
“There are actually so many different types of staff techniques!”
There were nearly twenty basic and practical moves.

Chop, swing, poke, lift, cleave, crush, stab, sweep, pierce, block, provoke, stand, smash, etc.
“But why didn’t I directly master the staff techniques this time? Was the Primordial Chaos Skill just a newbie benefit?”
Wang Shuo couldn’t help thinking that it was a pity, but he immediately felt that this mentality was wrong.
Always thinking about reaping without sowing wasn’t a character trait that a main character should have.
That’s right. This shameless person already replaced himself as the main character in the story. After all, everyone knew that the people with cheats were the main characters in any work.

A Nation of Distances (possibly a dystopian love story)
Michael lives in a toxic macho world with extreme male hierarchy. When he gets a weird rating that makes his place even more problematic he's forced to choose a fiancée at a Wife School, and he slowly discovers more about the other side of the great divide between the sexes in The Nation. If only the world would stop being so complicated... On the other side there's Megan, who's more interested in books than in marriage, and the unpredictable Eliza who seems to have a connection with Micheal already. Will they be able to cross the distance and become friends against all the rules of their own world, or will they just be crushed? Are positive relationships between men and women even possible? And is there a way to change the world or is that just a naive thought of a silly wimp? 'A Nation of Distances' is a slightly dystopian dialogue-heavy drama set in a low sci-fi future setting about the war between the sexes, disconnect and friendship. The genre will fluctuate in between more slice-of-life parts and soft sci-fi drama with possible romantic elements, with alternating lead and switching perspectives once more of the main characters are established. Content Warning: Certain concepts and scenes might be disturbing and/or triggering to some, even though the story itself won't be extremely heavy most of the time. Sexism as a double-edged sword destructive to both sexes is an important part of the story, but so is friendship.Note that all descriptions of persons and places are purely fictional and made up by the writer, and any resemblance with anything in the real world is a coincidence, since the real world is not supposed to be dystopian anyway!

Now Jonathan must navigate the trials of playing guardian to a preteen, learning to unlock his inner demon, and somehow managing to find a dang pair of pants! Welcome! I'm E.O. Tenkey; thank you for considering Living as a Demon, my third released work here on Royal Road (following Not a Manga and Mr. Familiar)! Let's set some expectations, shall we? • Not much hard profanity (chapter 1 is the exception!)• Human MC! Our protagonist is a bona fide homo sapiens. Which is not to say there won't be demons, demonic powers, and what-have-you, but this isn't some grimdark exploration of the life and times of a nihilistic, amoral killing machine.• Slice of life. My previous works always ended up there, so might as well get ahead of the curve!• Weekly updates, and a completed story: I will post a single chapter per week on Wednesdays until the story is complete (extra chapters are rare, but do happen).
