God Rank Upgrade System Chapter 118
Advertisement
At this moment, Lin Xiu punched it directly in the head.
On the shore, without any water resistance, Lin Xiu had fully exerted the power of his 'Rupturing fist'.
Also, with the enhancement of 'Fury', this power was multiplied, and even this rank 4 evolved beast had a deep dent in the skull after being hit by Lin Xiu as fresh blood flowed out in an instant.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations Master on killing a rank 4 evolved beast. You've gained 350,000 experience points!"
"Phew." Lin Xiu sat next to the Giant Turtle Whitefish and heaved a sigh of relief.
Thinking about what just happened, it was really dangerous.
If he hadn't lured this Giant Turtle Whitefish ashore, there would be no way of dealing with it.
"Lin Xiu…" Just as Tian Zhi was about to say something, Lin Xiu had already jumped into the water.
He continued swimming and soon reached the place where he saw the Salt Crystal.
The Salt Crystal that looked like a white lotus was still lying there quietly.
Lin Xiu looked around and after he found that nothing appeared, his hand slowly approached the Salt Crystal.
Although this thing was made up of some special white particles, it appeared very hard.
Like a mushroom growing on a tree, Lin Xiu used a little force and broke it off from the black rock.
After that, Lin Xiu began swimming back.
"Are you all right?" Seeing Lin Xiu swimming out of the lake, Tian Zhi asked with concern.
Lin Xiu nodded, then took off his goggles, and stretched out his right hand. "This is the Salt Crystal, isn't it?"
Tian Zhi looked at Lin Xiu's hand and suddenly saw that huge Salt Crystal. He couldn't help but gasp.
How could this thing be so big!?

And the shape was very beautiful.
"Yes, this is it, but look at this size, you wouldn't find it in a hundred years…" Tian Zhi's eyes widened and mumbled.
"How many do you need?" Lin Xiu asked Tian Zhi.
"Just a little bit, you just have to gently rub some particles off from the bottom." Tian Zhi said excitedly at this moment, then he looked around in his backpack and took out a small unique box.
Lin Xiu nodded, then rubbed the bottom of the Salt Crystal in his hand, and some white particles slowly fell into Tian Zhi's box.
This thing was really no different from the ordinary white salt.
But Lin Xiu knew that although they looked similar, the composition was very different.
"Enough! Thank you!" Looking at these salt-like particles in his box, Tian Zhi was extremely excited.
With this thing, his daughter's illness would surely be cured!
"Thank you! Thank you!" He said to Lin Xiu earnestly.
"No problem." Lin Xiu shook his head, he didn't think it was much because he went down to look for something anyway.
Although he scratched out a small amount of Salt Crystal particles for him, the Salt Crystal still retained its shape of a white lotus and still looked the same.
'This thing is so big, I wonder how much it can sell for...'
"Are you going to leave now?" Lin Xiu saw him packing up like he was going to leave.
"Yes, I'm going to rush back to the hospital and give this to the doctor to make drugs." Tian Zhi nodded and said.
"Thank you so much."
"It's okay, but if I continued walking from here, where will it lead me?" Lin Xiu asked Tian Zhi.
The website of the Warrior Union did have a lot of information about the Path of Death that could mostly be purchased with money, but some not only asked for money but also required star ranking. For example, the information of the Path of Death's routes would require one to be a two-star member in order to purchase to view.

"About 50 kilometers or so ahead, it's probably the Azure Forest zone, but if you continue on, I'm not very certain because I've only heard about it from others and didn't really go there myself," Tian Zhi said with some regret at this moment.
He reached this area before and ran away after being attacked by some evolved beasts.
"Hmm, that's fine."
"By the way, this is for you." After Tian Zhi packed up, he took out a wooden palm-sized box and said to Lin Xiu.
"What's this?" Lin Xiu was surprised and asked.
"This is handed down by my warrior ancestor, it's a Body skill, but I can't learn it so I'll give it to you." Tian Zhi smiled and said.
'Body skill!?'
Lin Xiu was already a rank 3 warrior and could cultivate Body skills now, as well as the previous gold skill - 'Ninth Heaven Galaxy Fall'.
"Well, it's goodbye then." Tian Zhi smiled at Lin Xiu, then walked in the original direction they came from.
Lin Xiu shook his head as he watched his retreating figure, then sat on the ground, and looked closely at the wooden palm-sized box.
Then, he opened it without hesitation.
"Gold body skill!?"
When he saw the body skill card in the box, Lin Xiu was shocked. Body skills were very expensive, much more expensive than ordinary skill cards, they were rare too. However, he never expected that Tian Zhi would actually give him a gold body skill.
At this moment, Lin Xiu was very moved, it seems that many things have causes and effects.
If he hadn't helped that old uncle at the start, he would have fallen into the locusts' trap and if he didn't help Tian Zhi, he wouldn't have gotten this Body skill.
"Gold body skill- 'Without a Trace'!"
When Lin Xiu saw the name of this skill, he thought it sounded really cool. Then, without hesitation, Lin Xiu placed this dazzling gold Body skill card on his forehead slowly.
As he used this gold Body Skill card, Lin Xiu felt a lot of information surging in his mind.
Soon, the card, which was initially glistening with a golden glow, slowly poured information into Lin Xiu's mind and grew dimmed.
Lin Xiu stood up at this moment, then moved his body a bit. He felt as if he was walking on air and his speed was really fast!
He hadn't used 'Without a Trace' skill, and he already felt that his whole body was light.
What a strong body skill!

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
