God Rank Upgrade System Chapter 23

Luo Li was in a state of shock as he watched Lin Xiu's back view as he left with his card.
He had a premonition that Lin Xiu might truly become the number one spear warrior in the world ranking.
Xin Yao Academy's library was not the ordinary library of the past.
The majority of libraries no longer used the old paper books of the past, the majority had turned to electronic books and most of the libraries all had supercomputers that were capable of downloading information through the Web.
Aside from keeping historical items on the other floors, most were used to contain ancient weapons.
The second floor was where skills cards were kept.
Aside from basic weapon and cultivation techniques, the other skills required union coins or were rewarded by the academy.
Lin Xiu noticed many students walking in and out upon arriving at the library.
The gigantic library not only looked like it came out of a science fiction movie, but it was also filled with many installations. It was truly something that he could only see in the movies in his previous world.
Upon arriving on the second floor, Lin Xiu saw many glass displays with various bronze skill cards and felt dazzled by them.
Many students relied on part-time work to earn union coins and purchase skill cards.
In theory, only quasi-warriors had the ability to fully unleash the power of bronze skill cards, while official warriors and above could train in silver cards.
There were extremely few gold and above skills. Even if it was on the market, it would be extremely expensive.
Without overthinking it, Lin Xiu walked to the installation in the center and swiped the card provided by Luo Li. Two cards slowly floated from the bottom of the screen.
Both cards had various engravings on them with bold golden words in the center: Fundamental Spear Arts, Cultivation Technique

"Lin Xiu, I won't lose to you." Right at this time, Zhang Yi appeared from the side and spoke earnestly to Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu had become much stronger in a short period of time. The pressure on Zhang Yi was immense.
But correspondingly, it had incited an unprecedented fighting spirit.
"Let's wait and see." Lin Xiu replied indifferently.
With both spear and cultivation technique at hand, he was only lacking in a weapon.
But he had yet to become an Official Warrior and could not enter the warrior union web to purchase weapons, so he could only head to the academy's 'Spirit Weapon Establishment'.
There was a specialized weapon craftsman that forged weapons.
"Kid, what weapon do you want?" Just as Lin Xiu walked in, a bearded middle-aged man spoke to him.
"A spear." Lin Xiu nodded his head and replied.
"Spear?" The middle-aged man was startled before chuckling. "I've just made a spear here. Take a look."
Lin Xiu followed him over and saw a silver spear.
It was glistening with a cold aura and looked extremely sharp.
"How is it? Want to have a go with it?"
"This was made from Xing Yu ores from Moonstar. No need to talk about its sharpness, it is capable to even break through the skin of rank 3 evolved beasts." The middle-aged man took a sword out and slashed onto a gigantic beast armor. Sparks were produced from the attack and left behind a deep scar.
Lin Xiu took a similar style sword and tried it out for a bit. He then used his finger to touch the spear tip lightly which instantly led to blood.
It was sharp, extremely sharp.
"See, it's good. Special price for it now, 50 thousand for one." The middle-aged man laughed and said.

"But… it's a bit too light." Lin Xiu felt something was wrong with it and after pondering about it, he felt that it was the weight.
"The unique point about Xing Yu ores is its lightweight, but it is sharp enough." The middle-aged man added.
But seeing Lin Xiu's dissatisfied look, he had to shake his head.
"There is a heavy one, but I'm afraid you can't pick it up."
"Let's try it." Lin Xiu's eyes lit up upon hearing that.
"Give me a moment." The middle-aged man nodded his head and walked into the back room.
Lin Xiu took a look around and the middle-aged man returned soon with a large wooden box.
The wooden box was covered in dust, as though not having touched for a long time.
The middle-aged man blew on it with a 'whoo', and the dust scattered away.
"Cough, cough." Lin Xiu covered his mouth.
"Haha, we haven't sold these heavy spears in a long time. Not because there aren't people who use spears, but very few can utilize such heavy spears."
The middle-aged man laughed as he opened the box.
A silver spear was inside, causing Lin Xiu's eyes to sparkle.
This silver spear was different from the one before. It was not as bright but had a reserved beauty.
This spear was relatively larger than the others, and even though it had a weak glow to it, he was able to see the cold glint of the speartip.
"Can I give it a go?" Lin Xiu asked happily.
"Yes, you may." The middle-aged man nodded his head in approval.
As soon as he took the spear, Lin Xiu almost dropped it.
"Do you know how heavy this spear is?" The middle-aged man leaned against the table and asked rather excitedly.
"How heavy is it?" After exerting his utmost strength to carry it, Lin Xiu finally held it tight.
"65 kg."
"Damn it." Lin Xiu cursed, it was as heavy as a grown man.
Ordinary people would not even be able to brandish it.
"It is called 'Silver Immortal Soul'. It's made from Xin Yu ore, but it uses the mother stone of the Xin Yu ore which is much heavier."
"Not only is it heavier, but its sharpness and durability are twice better than weapons made out of ordinary Xin Yu ores."
The middle-aged man wanted to laugh at Lin Xiu, but his mouth quickly gaped open.
Because right at this moment, it looked as though Lin Xiu was actually dancing and getting used to the spear.
Lin Xiu adored it more and more. Although it was heavier, he would get used to it through practice.
"I'm taking it!"
This spear cost Lin Xiu 35 thousand union coins.
Lin Xiu had changed his dorm to a standalone dorm. After all, it was no longer suitable on the other side since Ma Qiang and the others did not dare stay with him.
When he returned to his dorm, Lin Xiu lay in bed comfortably. Carrying the spear back took a toll on him.
It was definitely different with money, he was able to switch to a dorm just for himself.

In the 264 years since the Great Singularity Wars, the world has been irrevocably changed. Technologies like nanobots and rogue artificial intelligences have caused the planet's wildlife to evolve in dangerous and powerful ways, pushing humanity to the verge of extinction. However, the remaining survivors are not without ways to fight back. Nanotech can enhance humans just as well as beasts, but perhaps most surprisingly, humanity has found an unexpected ally: a group of human-neutral AIs called Daemons.

When a critical issue in her nanosystem's core seemingly leaves her unable to serve as a User, she's given a difficult choice: give up on her dreams or accept a potentially unstable AI, Noir, as her Daemon partner. Val and Noir are stronger together than they are apart, but can they survive long enough to unlock their potential?

I am not the Hero
Disclaimer: This is a slow burn story that integrates both Fantasy and somewhat sci-fi. The MC will be more of an anti-hero who will kill any and everyone that he pleases while still understanding the plight of a Villain. This is also family-centric with a dash of hidden identity, Yandere Romance, Blackmail, and a lot of character growth. === Why is life precious? Because you only have one. Then what about the person who took over 999 lives? Who died 999 tragic death as a villain? Then, how would someone like that live? The answer is simple... as he damn wishes. “I-it’s not like I did it for you, you spinless Warrior.” “Good, the doors to your left, you may leave now.” He said to the tsundere Knight. PAH! “How dare you hit a woman?” “Who cares if you’re a woman? You slapped me when I just saved your life!” “You touched my chest!” “I said it was an accident, and again, I just saved your life — you know what? Fuck you, die here if you want to.” “Wait, wait, come back! Don’t leave me here! I’m sorry!” the princess screamed for help after being tossed to the side of the road. Theo did all this, yet to his dismay somehow, his reputation remained good in the eyes of many! A Hero, A Righteous Warrior, Benevolent King, Shadow Lord, Beast Keeper — such were the names given to him... To all of this, his reaction was always the same. “WHY!? How did they come to the conclusion that I’m a Hero? Even my other identities who massacred a lot of people, mind you, are not any different!” [I know, right?] “Shut up, Goddess!” This is the story of the most malicious villain turned Hero. The one with the darkest heart shining with the most brilliant name. He does not hide, nor run, he’s — The Villain Savior. === Final Notes: If you want to support the story, encourage the author, or just flat out want to read ahead, head over to the Patreon where you'll be a week ahead.
