A World Worth Protecting Chapter 64: Unforeseen Event!
If there had been enough time, perhaps Wang Baole would not have sustained such serious injuries. It was just that he had needed to quickly end the fight with those men in black. If they had drawn out the battle, the other men in black would definitely have caught up to him.
If Wang Baole wanted to retaliate, he needed to pay the price. For example, with the previous four men's counteroffensive, Wang Baole would have sustained a serious injury even with a Dharmic artifact.
Currently, his aura was a little chaotic. Arching his back, he hurried at full speed through the grass. As he swallowed pills, he swiftly checked the remaining items in his storage bracelet.
There aren't many pills left, and I've already used half of my Dharmic artifacts… Wang Baole licked his lips and found a hole in a tree to hide in. He took out the concealing pearl that he had previously taken from a man in black and used it to hide himself before he released a breath. Then he took out the searching Dharmic artifact and slowly squinted.
To adjust this, I need to open it up. If I can reverse the effect, I can reveal their locations…
If it had someone else, they might not have been able to do this. However, as the ultimate Head Prefect in the Dharmic Armament faculty, he was the top at Spirit Stones, Inscriptions, and Spirit Kernels, and he even had his systemic calculation for his Inscriptions. This was something no one else could do. After examining the circular Dharmic artifact, he was confident of his chances.
There are eight searching Dharmic artifacts in total. Even if I fail a few times, it doesn't matter. I just need to succeed once!
With this thought in mind, Wang Baole knew that time was precious, and he immediately began experimenting with the artifact.
Right now, in the Pond Cloud Rainforest, the number of men in black had already been reduced by thirty percent. The remaining men were even more cautious. In actuality, it was extremely difficult and dangerous to chase down Wang Baole, and even though they were highly trained operatives, they were still shaken.
This was especially so for the elder. He stood where Wang Baole had fought against the seven men, watching his men pull their corpses from the mud. As the leader, he had brought many men to kill one student; however, he had actually sustained such an abject loss. To him, this was like a slap in the face. His expression was terrible, and his killing intent grew stronger.
"Damn it. I was told that Wang Baole only had a cultivation of Perfected Physical Seal realm, but how can someone in the Physical Seal realm kill almost ten of my people? Not just Physical Seal, even if it was the same Pulse Enrichment realm, it would be extremely difficult to do this!"
Even if they had only been carrying out their orders to kill Wang Baole in the beginning, right now, even without orders, they wanted to exterminate Wang Baole.

"Also, why does this fellow have so many Dharmic artifacts!"
The elder gritted his teeth. He noticed that his subordinates all seemed to be startled, and his gaze grew colder with determination.
"Continue searching. Everyone, pay attention. This b*stard isn't simple. The moment you find him, release the signal—I'll break his neck myself!"
The surrounding men in black nodded. They spread out again to search, their expressions dark, as though forming a wide net that was constantly shrinking.
Just as they scoured the area for him, the hidden Wang Baole ignored the other five failed circular Dharmic artifacts. Currently, he was staring at the one successful modified searching Dharmic artifact, his gaze bright.
On this Dharmic artifact, he could see twenty points of light swiftly spreading out in all directions. There were three that were closest to him, and the distance from each other was not especially far. Wang Baole muttered to himself and continued observing. He understood that with the encircling and lockdown, it was only a matter of time before he was found.
I can't attack anymore. I need to go further away, spread them out, then I can continue to retaliate… Wang Baole inhaled deeply and quietly emerged from the hole in the tree. As he checked the Dharmic artifact, he changed his direction, occasionally increasing his speed rapidly and occasionally slowing down. He avoided one man in black after the other, continuously keeping a safe distance as he went deeper into the Pond Cloud Rainforest at rapid speeds.
As long as there were no accidents, Wang Baole still had a chance of escaping the encirclement. However, the moment he almost escaped, his expression suddenly changed. His legs stopped, and his breathing grew sluggish. He felt a bloodthirsty aura locking onto him.
Slowly, he turned his head. Wang Baole's face paled, and his forehead started to sweat.
There were actually seven snakes on the right side of the tree!
Each of them was about as thick as an arm, their entire bodies red with the exception of their heads, which were white. At first glance, they almost seemed to have a baby's face, although their eyes showed a ferocity that struck fear into one's heart.
Red-boned white infant snakes! Wang Baole's heart shook. Although he had attacked fearlessly in the Hallucination realm test, that had only been one snake. But with seven snakes, Wang Baole was immediately fearful. He breathed carefully and backed off. It was his last resort. He did not want to fight with these seven snakes.
Don't scream, please don't scream. I won't kill you guys…
But just as he was about to back away, Wang Baole noticed that the ferocious gaze in the snakes' eyes grew more intense. One of the snakes had already opened its mouth. He gritted his teeth, and with an explosive speed, he headed straight for the seven snakes. He raised his right hand and used his Dharmic artifact seals, pills, and his flying swords to attack, immediately killing six of them.

This happened all too fast. Wang Baole had thrown everything into the attack, but it was too late. The remaining snake dodged his attack, and from its mouth…
A sound traveled all over. In the quiet forest, everyone could hear… a baby's cry!
This sound was too loud. The instant that it spread, Wang Baole's expression turned nasty. What he had feared was not the snakes but rather… their cries. After all, from the Hallucination realm test, Wang Baole knew that their cry was especially resonant.
Damn it! Wang Baole swiftly stowed his Dharmic artifacts and snake carcasses. He did not have time to kill the last snake. Instead, he dashed off.
At the same time, the surrounding men in black also heard the snake's cry. All of them turned their heads sharply. Without waiting for them to rush over, the elder sneered, his gaze showing his determination. He raised his right hand. Even though this area had been shielded from voice transmissions, that was only for external transmissions. Within their group, they could still send voice transmissions.
"Cruisers, bomb that area!" The elder sneered as he spoke. Previously, he had not dared to do that as the sound would be too loud, and he did not want to attract the attention of all the beasts in the Pond Cloud Rainforest. But he had spent a long time in the forest, and Wang Baole was difficult to deal with, so he threw caution to the wind.
Almost immediately after he spoke, five cruisers flew in from afar. They approached rapidly and released beams of light. They were alarmingly hot and exploded in an instant, blowing up the place where the white infant snake's cry had originated.
The booms of the explosions were shocking. The explosions continued, the earth shook, grass and trees flew, and mud was flung in all directions. Under the continuous bombing, the entire area was obliterated.
Wang Baole had also been forced out of hiding. He spat out blood, his body stumbling. The moment he revealed himself, the elder's eyes flashed. He looked to the sky and laughed. Then he exploded with speed and rushed at Wang Baole, his body seemingly forming a streak of blinding light.
His speed was too fast, and the power from the perfected Pulse Enrichment realm exploded. On some level, the elder had already refined his Blood Qi to its peak. It seemed especially within his body, he had a miraculous encounter in his early years, and his aura actually seemed to resemble… True Breath!
Although it was definitely not True Breath, this aura caused his combat strength to exceed peak Pulse Enrichment significantly!
Wang Baole had continuously suffered injuries, and he had been affected by the beams of light. As he panted, the half-step True Breath elder drew closer to him.
As he closed the gap between them, the elder raised his right hand, and it seemed like he had drawn all the surrounding air to himself as his right hand turned scarlet, releasing an alarming force. His hand flew toward Wang Baole. In the area it passed, the air grew blazing hot.
"Die!"
With death so close, Wang Baole understood that he could no longer escape. He turned his head, his eyes frenzied. He waved his right hand, and in that instant, all the Dharmic artifact seals in his storage bracelet flew out.
After Wang Baole had activated them, they all exuded the light of a Dharmic artifact. Encircled with Spirit Qi, they flew toward the elder with a boom.
If it had been anyone else, they would not have dared to smash these Dharmic artifacts and chosen to retreat instead. But the elder was scornful, and without stopping, he used his gloved right hand to pinch violently. Immediately, a wave of even greater power emanated from his glove.
"Break!"
In an instant, a minor storm exploded from the glove in the direction of Wang Baole's Dharmic artifacts. In the blast, the Dharmic artifact seals released cracking sounds. They broke but did not shatter. What broke was only the external layer of the Dharmic artifact; the Spirit Kernels within had not been destroyed. Instead, the remains of the artifacts blocked the blazing heat from the elder's palm, neutralizing it!
Despite the booming explosion reducing the power from the palm, it still passed through the Dharmic artifacts. But when it landed on Wang Baole, it only had forty percent of its power left. As there was protection from Wang Baole's Daoist robe and storage bracelet, he spat out blood but used its power to charge forwards at even faster speeds. At the same time, he flipped his hand under his robe and held the purple sword in his hand.
This purple sword was his trump card. Wang Baole knew that he could not easily reveal it; otherwise, the other party would guard against it. He planned to use it only for a killing blow.
"Damn it!" The elder was surprised. His expression was grotesque. He truly had not imagined that Wang Baole would have such a high-quality Dharmic artifact in his arsenal.
At this point, all the surrounding men in black also hurried over. Seeing Wang Baole spit blood from after being hit by their leader, all of their eyes showed their bloodthirstiness, and they were about to begin the chase.
But then… an unforeseen event suddenly occurred!
A sound like the buzzing of a mosquito suddenly traveled all over the Pond Cloud Rainforest. This buzzing continued, and it unsettled everyone who heard. Even the beasts in Pond Cloud Rainforest started shivering violently, as though it was an instinctual fear.
Wang Baole was also shocked. The expressions of the men in black behind him changed.
From far off inside the forest, something flew out. It ten feet long, like a little mountain.
A savage giant mosquito!
An indescribable aura of terror exploded from the mosquito, shocking everyone!

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
