Chapter 575: 575
Cleaning The Battlefield (2)
Ye Lang was basically training an unstoppable general for her . Ye Lang was sure Li Yue would return to Soaring Sky sooner or later and finally work under Zhao Yarou .
Ye Lang wouldn’t usually do such a thing but he felt like he owed it to her to give her the best . At the same time, he didn’t think a powerful Zhao Yarou would be a threat to him– not because he felt like Zhao Yarou couldn’t kill him, he just felt like it was unlikely for them to meet again .
This time was an unexpected event, such a thing wasn’t going to happen again . Ye Lang wasn’t going to return to Soaring Sky again so she would not have the chance to trap him again .
Treat it as a compensation… Wait, what compensation? I don’t owe her anything! This is weird .
Ye Lang shook his head, shaking out his messy thoughts as he continued adding ingredients into the pot . The soup seemed to have changed, it didn’t look like the soup he usually drank .
At this moment, not many had their attention on Ye Lang, most of them were focused on Li Yue . If they paid attention, they would notice that Ye Lang was actually the one that was going to be more difficult to deal with .
Some people tried to catch him unawares but when they approached, they would be hit by a fist made of earth hurtling at them from the ground . Yeap, an earthen fist from the ground .
This would tell them that Ye Lang, a harmless-looking person, was no easy target either . At the same time, his magical (alchemy) abilities must be very impressive to be able to control the earth element without him making any physical movements .
These people were still not sure that Ye Lang was using alchemy because this attack could be a magic attack too .

Thank goodness for their confusion, so Ye Lang’s identity was not exposed . No one would relate a magician to Ye Lang’s name, when he was a well-known alchemist .
“General!”
There were suddenly many cries of anger . Ye Lang did not have to look to know that Li Yue had already successfully killed the general . Right now, Li Yue was a person who could infiltrate the enemy’s ranks to kill the general directly . Ye Lang had already anticipated this .
All he wanted to know was how injured she was and if she’d improved!
“Not bad, you’ve improved a lot today . ” Ye Lang nodded, “Looks like we’ll have to prepare to clean up the mess…”
Ye Lang removed the pot from the fire and poured its contents into a bowl . He passed Li Yue the bowl to see her covered in blood . It was unclear if it was her blood or her enemy’s blood .
“I’m fine, I’ll rest when I’ve killed everyone!” she muttered with no expression on her face . It was the same in her eyes– there was no emotion .
As long as the Grey Wolf battalion did not retreat, she would continue fighting even if she was already injured . The longer she fought, the more exhausting it would be for her .
Should they continue?
The Grey Wolf battalion saw her kill the general, it was as if she had killed a god . At this point, the fear in them at reached a breaking point but they did not retreat . The rage and passion in them had not faded, plus they could tell Li Yue was getting weaker .
Hell yeah, they should continue!
“My brothers, the Sorceress doesn’t look like she’ll last long . We must avenge the general, avenge our dead brothers!”
In a moment, the army was roaring with passion once again because they had a glimmer of hope . They were also a very powerful group now– the most desperate army was the most powerful .

Slash, slash…
Li Yue slashed and sliced through every person, then dodged the attacks coming at her from every angle . She was now relying on her instincts to move, her capabilities had reached a new level . This battle helped her learn a lot, her inner capabilities after this would greatly increase .
When he saw this, Ye Lang started to smile . He understood that Li Yue’s capabilities were going to skyrocket once again . He hoped it would .
But before that, Li Yue still had to suffer for it .
“Huh?”
Li Yue felt a long weapon slicing across her back, forming a long cut . When she felt it, she immediately killed the people in front and thrust her sword behind her, stabbing the person who injured her to death .
This thrust did not require her to turn her head . It was as if she had eyes at the back of her head and her sword seemed invisible . No one saw it move, the person behind her could not dodge in time .
Incidents like this only increased as time passed . However, the number of injuries she suffered increased too . She was slowly losing blood and strength… but she did not frown, only focusing on killing the enemies in front .
Everyone could tell that she wasn’t going to last long . Every slash could be her last . It looked like she was going to collapse immediately .
The soldiers grew more and more excited . There was hope for success! They had to fight harder and the Sorceress would be defeated!
But this went on for a while . And then a while more .
When someone realised something was wrong, at that point there was only around a hundred of them left!
Li Yue was still standing, like she was never going to fall . At this moment, they felt a deep fear in their bones .
“A monster, she’s a monster!” someone screamed hysterically, sprinting towards a city far away .
The remaining people started to run too . They thought there was no meaning if they stayed anyway . Of course, there was a portion of them who were still there to kill her .
These people were the ones who wanted to take the risk, the ones who were not satisfied . What if the moment they ran away was the moment Li Yue collapsed? Then their efforts would’ve been wasted .
“Sorceress, today, death will either come upon you, or us!” they roared as if to inject confidence into themselves as if this would scare Li Yue .
At this moment, they heard a voice . It was a very calm voice, yet it was enough to send them to hell because they remembered there was another person they’d forgotten .

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.
