Chapter 211: The Inner Gate Trial Test
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The invigilating elder’s imposing manner instantly enveloped Su Mo with the power of a mountain.
Su Mo felt as if there were a boulder on his shoulders. It was so heavy that he could not move at all.
The next moment, the invigilating elder pushed his palm forward, and suddenly a palm print appeared. Its speed was beyond description and it hit Su Mo as soon as it appeared.
Puff!
Su Mo spat a mouthful of blood and was blasted backwards, smashing into a huge stone pillar in the hall. The stone pillar was crushed, and he fell to the ground.
“You didn’t respect me, but for Elder Wei’s sake, I won’t kill you. That blow is a punishment for you!” the invigilating elder said coldly.
Su Mo lay on the ground. He hit the floor with his palms and quickly got up. Then he angrily looked at the invigilating elder with killing intent in his eyes.
Puff!
Su Mo spat a small mouthful of blood again. The blow from the invigilating elder had hurt him badly.
He still had not recovered from his old injuries, and now he had been injured again.
“Elder, I won’t forget that you broke the Sect rules, prevented me from entering Inner Gate, and injured me!” Su Mo said flatly.
However, the invigilating elder did not even look at Su Mo. How dare a small fry of the Spiritual Martial Realm threaten him? He would not live long!
Looking at Ling Muchen and another strong young man, the invigilating elder took out two jade badges and made some complex seals appear on the jade badges.
After a while, he handed the two jade badges to them and gave them two moon-white outfits.
“These are your jade identification badges and clothes of the inner gate. From now on, you’ve become Inner Disciples of Gale Island!”
He then waved to them and said, “You can return. Your house numbers for the Inner Disciples’ lodge are on your jade identification badges, so you can find your houses yourself!”
All the Inner Disciples of Gale Island had uniforms. It was said that the clothes were made of precious silk that could keep warm in winter and stay cool in summer, and that they also had strong defenses.

“Yes!”
Ling Muchen and the other one replied and then left.
Ling Muchen slightly shook his head to Su Mo, indicating that Su Mo should give in for now and not resist the invigilating elder.
Su Mo sighed. He was unable to fight the elder, even if he wanted to!
The elder was a True Spirit Realm martial artist, maybe even a high-level one. Su Mo did not have the strength to fight him at all.
Afterward, Su Mo walked out of the examination hall with Ling Muchen.
On the Inner Square, Su Mo and Ling Muchen stood across from each other.
“So Mo, you don’t have to confront the invigilating elder. Your Master is Elder Wei. If you ask for his help, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to enter the inner gate!” Ling Muchen said.
Su Mo nodded slightly, sighing in his heart. If he did not have the support of Elder Wei, he probably would have been killed by the people of the Sky Alliance long ago.
“This year’s Inner Gate Trial Test will be held two weeks later. Don’t miss it!” Ling Muchen said again.
“The Inner Gate Trial Test? There is still half a month?” Su Mo asked.
In fact, he was not interested in the trial tests now. He was rich and prepared to cultivate for a period of time to improve his cultivation.
“Yeah! The trial tests of Gale Island are basically all carried out at the beginning of the year!”
Ling Muchen said, “However, the Inner Gate Trial Test is different from the Outer Gate Trial Test. It is held among the Four Sects. There are many experts in it!”
Su Mo raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that the Inner Gate Trial Test was actually held among the Four Sects.
“If the trial test is among the Four Sects, there must be violent battles among the disciples of the Four Sects,” Su Mo said with a smile.
“Right. That will be exciting. Don’t miss this opportunity, otherwise, you’ll surely regret it!” Ling Muchen said again.
Then, he left the Inner Square and went to find his house in the inner gate.

Su Mo shook his head and also left the inner gate and walked toward the outer gate.
After returning to his room, Su Mo sat cross-legged on the bed.
His face was gloomy. The first time he went to the inner gate, he was harassed. No one would be happy about that.
The powerful influence of the Sky Alliance in the Inner Gate was evident from this incident. It would be very difficult for him to live in the Inner Gate!
After a short while, Su Mo cleared his thoughts from his mind and started to treat his injuries.
He picked out a bottle of healing elixir, swallowed some, and began refining the pills.
Over the following days, Su Mo stayed in seclusion to treat his injuries.
Five days later, he was almost fully recovered.
On this day, Wang Hui came to Su Mo’s residence.
In the courtyard, Su Mo and Wang Hui sat across from each other.
“This is your jade identification badge and clothes of the inner gate!”
Wang Hui waved his hand, and a moon-white long robe and a jade badge appeared before Su Mo.
Wang Hui said, “Our Master had learned about your trouble and has already handled it for you!”
Su Mo was stunned. He did not expected that Elder Wei had already arranged it for him.
“Thank you, Senior Brother and Master!”
Su Mo was touched. He clasped his fists and said to Wang Hui, “I’ll visit Master tomorrow!”
Wang Hui chuckled, shook his head and said, “Our Master is cultivating in seclusion again. He is going to break through the bottleneck!”
Su Mo was surprised and asked, “Is he breaking through the Enlightenment Realm?”
Su Mo had known that Elder Wei was a strong martial artist at the Lv 9 True Spirit Realm. If he made another breakthrough, he would reach the Enlightenment Realm.
“Alright!”
Wang Hui nodded and sighed. He said, “However, It is rather difficult to enter the Enlightenment Realm. Our Master has been stuck in the present realm for 15 years. During these years, he has tried to break through many times, but he hasn’t succeeded yet!”
Wang Hui’s face was grave. The Enlightenment Realm was a roadblock that many people could never get through in their lives.
The huge Skymoon Country had about 100 million martial artists, but less than 10 people could enter the Enlightenment Realm. That was how difficult it was to reach this realm!
“I hope Master can succeed this time!” Su Mo said in a deep voice.
“I hope so!” Wang Hui sighed.
After a while, Wang Hui said, “Junior Brother, you’re truly a talented genius! Our Master knows the achievements you’ve gotten in Four Seas Arena. He’s very satisfied with your performance.”
Wang Hui was amazed. Su Mo’s performances always exceed his expectations. Even though he himself was a True Spirit Realm expert, he still felt shocked.
Not only was Su Mo’s combat power powerful, but his cultivation speed was also unparalleled.
“Haha, you’re flattering me!”
Su Mo chuckled.
“I’m telling the truth!”
Wang Hui smiled and said, “With your combat strength, you’ll surely achieve a lot in this Inner Gate Trial Test and even make great progress in your cultivation!”
Speaking of the Inner Gate Trial Test, Su Mo would like to ask Wang Hui about it.
“Senior Brother, where will the Inner Gate Trial Test be held?” Su Mo asked.
Wang Hui said, “The Inner Gate Trial Test will be carried out in an independent and small world, in which there are countless treasures!”
“An independent and small world?”
Su Mo asked in doubt, “What’s an independent and small world?”
“An independent and small world is a heavenly fairyland hidden in the deep of the void. You will understand when you get there!” Wang Hui said.
Su Mo nodded but did not fully understand.
“Oh, you’ll be in great danger in this trial as well. You have to watch out for the attacks from the Disciples of the Sky Alliance!”
Wang Hui said in a serious face, “There are more than 1,200 Inner Disciples, and half of them are members of the Sky Alliance!”
“What? Half of them are the members of the Sky Alliance?”
Hearing that, Su Mo sucked in a breath of cold air.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

The Other - a (man) called Ted
A figure, large and present through time in ways most would not understand. Seemingly uncaring about all except his own principles, the one we refer to as the Other (for legitimate reasons, lest some accidentally call upon his old name), finds his way through life. Though refusing to claim the title himself, this (immortal)'s projects have begun to leave him behind, awaiting some accident to move him back into the world. - - - - - - Initially intended to be a novella, then a project to keep me sane in busy times IRL, this will be considered the roughest of drafts. Also, IRL may prevent me from regular updates after the backlog is done. Tags with a grain of salt, items may be mentioned briefly in story so far, or in chapters already written but not published. Content warnings just in case. Some perspective switching in the first several chapters. Legitimately though, in the first chapters an explanation is provided for referencing to the MC as 'the Other.'

Gods Game
The Gods gathered together in a moment of clarity and created a world where people could battle, gain powers, and eventually enough power to kill them and take their place. After a millennium, they still have little success. Some of the combatants have died, others have given up and accepted their lives as they are, others turned their back on their original calling entirely, rebelled and have decided to wage war against this world and the reason they are there. So the gods keep scooping people up from the various worlds they've created in hopes of finding their death. They had gathered from six of the seven worlds they had available to them, now they have no choice but to gather combatants from the one world they swore they would leave alone: Earth. The world was dying and the people seemed hell bent on killing each other, rather than focusing on keeping their world alive so they could all live peacefully. Earth wasn't an ideal place to choose from, but the Gods had no choice. With new combatants gathered, each blessed with a gift from the Gods, they are set loose in the world of Taimin. The play ground for the replacement God candidates. However, this time, the combatants are unaware of their true purpose, so that maybe, they can accomplish the God's true goals. Another round of God creation has begun, but with secrets kept from them, and others hunting for their deaths, can they survive the first rounds, or will they perish because of the weaknesses they carry? NOTE: I do not own that cover, I googled fantasy wallpaper planets and I found that one. ^_^ Also, this story will slightly be fanfictiony as some weapons and elements may come videos, shows, and/or books.
