Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 219
Advertisement
"Haha! Look at what we found! A level 17 spirit warrior! We're rich!"
Cheers came from inside the aircraft. It was as if Vincent had become their spoils of war.
Vincent frowned as he stared at the aircraft in front of him. He could not tell which race it was, but it was definitely not as advanced as the Esville Race.
Moreover, the aircraft's appearance was very shabby. Some parts were obviously reassembled. It looked more like a waste product of some civilization that had been rebuilt in order to be used.
"Who are you people?" asked Vincent loudly.
Their response to Vincent were two cannons that were gradually accumulating energy!
"F*ck!"
Vincent shouted angrily and turned to fly upwards. He did not want to be the opponent's target.
However, Vincent had clearly underestimated the opponent's technological level. No matter how he changed his flight estimation, the two cannons that were accumulating energy would always be able to lock onto him accurately.
"Boom!"
Two psionic cannons shot out and were heading straight for Vincent.
After realising that he could not dodge, Vincent drew his Purgatory Blade and counter-attack. He activated Collapsing Mountain Strike towards the incoming cannonball.
"Buzz!"
The gigantic flaming blade and the energy cannonball collided in the air, instantly producing a powerful shockwave. The entire space seemed to have come to a standstill.
A few seconds later, a violent shockwave suddenly erupted. Vincent's entire body was thrown into the air, while the aircraft also spun a few rounds on the spot.
"Damn, how can a mere level 17 creature have such strong combat strength? Looks like it will definitely take a lot of effort to catch him!"
A wave of curses came from within the aircraft. The aircraft began to adjust its angle and was once again ready to continue attacking Vincent.
The cannon began to charge forward again. It aimed at Vincent who was flying.
Vincent was flipped over by the airwaves. He was not in control at all. At that moment, he could only see the muzzle of the cannon aimed at him in the air. At the same time, he could roughly guess the number of unknown lifeforms in the aircraft.
When he reached the highest point, Vincent finally regained control and was in the most stable position. Although it was only for a short moment, it was the best opportunity for him to attack!
Vincent had already thought of the opponent's plan, but there was no way for him to save himself. He could only watch as the cannon charged forward bit by bit. It was preparing to fire the energy cannonball that would end him.
Vincent slowly descended from the sky. At the same time, the cannon below had finally finished charging.
Vincent stared at the muzzle of the cannon below. He still did not give up. As long as he could find a gap, he would definitely be able to escape successfully!

At the critical moment, a huge battle axe flew out from the altar, accurately striking the muzzle that had just finished charging. The force was so great that the spaceship could not help but flip to the side.
"Boom!"
As the cannon was blocked by the huge axe, the energy cannonball that was ready to be fired exploded inside the cannon. The intense energy tore the cannon from the spaceship and the thick smoke dispersed into the sky.
"Vincent!"
Avril shouted and rushed out from the altar. Her body was covered with a pale golden light. She was dragging a huge axe with one hand. She rushed straight towards the aircraft that was in a chaotic state.
Vincent seized the opportunity to attack. He flapped his Flaming Wings and flew down abruptly. Avril and Vincent attacked the aircraft from two different directions!
"Flame Slash!"
"Fight to the death!"
Vincent was in the air whilst Avril was on the ground. They attacked almost at the same time. They were like a pair of scissors, instantly splitting the spaceship into two.
Half of the broken spaceship flew into the depths of the city, while the other half crashed into a building on the side.
Avril and Vincent successfully reunited. Avril asked, "Where did this aircraft come from? Are they the original survivors of the Spirit Race or are they intruders?"
Vincent frowned and said in a deep voice, "It shouldn't be the survivors of the Spirit Race. They mistook me for a member of the Spirit Race just now!"
While they were talking, three figures staggered out of the aircraft that had been split into two. Judging from their clothes and the way they look, they should be from a different race.
A strange humanoid creature made of stone was the first to get off the aircraft. He waved his hand to sweep away the dust in front of him and looked at Vincent with a frown. The collision and explosion earlier did not cause him any injury.
Following behind him was a strange-looking creature that looked like an octopus or a spider. It crawled out of the cabin. Its two eyes were on its abdomen. It stared at Vincent and Avril in a sinister manner.
The last to come out was a humanoid creature that was rippling like water. He was not wearing any clothes because he had no use for them at all.
"Haha! I didn't expect there to be an Eldar female here. If we bring her to the black market, we will definitely be able to sell her for a good price!"
The stone man looked at Avril and laughed. It was similar to the voice that came from the aircraft earlier.
"Warning! Warning! The target is very angry. The destructive power is very strong. Be careful of injuries!" said the spider-like monster in a very dull mechanical voice.

The humanoid creature that was like water raised its illusory arm and pointed at Vincent. He said, "He's the strongest. Control him first!"
After hearing that, the stone man and the spider monster immediately rushed forward. Each of them picked a target. They attacked Vincent and Avril respectively.
Vincent looked at the spider monster that was charging at him. He raised his Purgatory Blade and slashed at the leg of the spider monster. Unexpectedly, the strength of the spider monster was much lower than expected. With just a simple collision, the spider monster had been kicked away.
"Huh? Why is it only a level 12 creature?"
Vincent could clearly feel the level of the spider monster. He could not help but sigh.
"Bang!"
At the same time, Avril was sent flying by the stone man. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. If she did not activate her war god body, she would have been severely injured.
After Avril landed on the ground, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and shouted at Vincent, "Be careful! He is at least a level 18 creature!"
Vincent frowned. He did not expect that the other party would cleverly choose to dodge the attack and let the stronger rock golem attack Avril. They actually let the spider monster, which was weak but could not be easily injured, fight with him first.
The spider monster's legs were like metal spears. After it was sent flying by Vincent, it used its eight legs to protect its body. After rolling on the ground a few times, it stood up unscathed. Its ability to resist attacks was beyond Vincent's imagination.
Fortunately, Vincent had already seen through the other party's plan. The strange creatures had not been able to completely defeat Avril. There was still a chance for them to turn the tables!
Vincent waved the Purgatory Blade in his hand and turned to run towards the stone man.
Vincent had to face the level 18 creature stone man personally and let the injured Avril fight with the spider monster. Only then would they have a chance of survival!
"Don't even think about it!"
Suddenly, the water-wave monster that had been commanding shouted at them. Its entire body then turned into a white wave and swept towards Vincent.
The transparent liquid that was like water instantly enveloped Vincent. Not only did it block his charge towards the stone man, but it also made him lose his ability to move.
Vincent, who was deep in the waves, felt as if his entire body was being pricked by ten thousand needles. Every inch of his skin felt unbearable pain.
At the same time, Vincent's fire spirit body was fading bit by bit, as if it was firmly restrained by the water around him!
Very soon, Vincent was weak. He felt drowsy as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.
Suddenly, a pair of fair and slender hands reached into the water waves. They wanted to touch Vincent but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"Vincent, hold on!"
Angelina had rushed over at some point in time. With both hands in the water, she kept shouting at Vincent to hold on.
After seeing that Vincent did not respond in the slightest, Angelina could not help but feel a little anxious. Since her hands could not go deep into the strange water waves, then she might as well absorb his energy!
As Angelina activated her innate ability to absorb, the water waves that wrapped around Vincent immediately shot out numerous tiny water pillars. They flowed along Angelina's skin and surged into her body.
"Swoosh!"
The water waves that trapped Vincent instantly faded away. It turned into the shape of a person. It then hid behind the stone man. He looked at Angelina with great fear and said, "That Spirit Race female is not simple. Her ability is very effective against the Weak Water Race. We can't let her live. Kill her first!"
After hearing that, the stone man and the spider monster immediately looked at Angelina and joined forces to attack.
However, Angelina did not leave, nor was she afraid. Instead, she carried Vincent and wanted to take him away.
When Avril saw the stone man and spider monster were about to attack Angelina, she threw away the giant axe in her hand and pulled out two long knives. She flashed in front of Angelina and shouted, "Take Vincent and leave quickly. I'll hold them off!"
Angelina nodded, picked up Vincent and ran towards the altar.
However, Avril was not a match for the stone man, and with her serious injuries, she was sent flying in just one exchange.
After successfully repelling Avril, the stone man and the spider monster did not continue to pursue her. Instead, they resolutely carried out the orders of the water-wave monster and continued to chase after Angelina!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Just when no one could support Angelina, a series of explosions instantly drowned the stone man and spider monster. Kurt activated the cannon on his shoulder and released shockwaves from his palms as he walked out from the altar.
"They are the scavengers of the Black Hole world, loyal dogs and servants of the evilest race. Leave quickly!" said Kurt loudly.
Angelina and Avril did not understand what Kurt meant, but they did not have time to think. They could only carry Vincent, who had not woken up and run to the side alley.

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.
