《Battling Records of the Chosen One》C271. The Notorious Devil
Advertisement
The site was full of din of arguments, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
Lin Xun said goodbye to Gu Liang at this time and went forward alone, holding a token to participate in the assessment.
Not far ahead, there was a special assessment area. All the participants needed to go there and wait for the test to begin.
When Lin Xun arrived, the assessment area was already crowded by many men and women. They were all young people under the age of 18. Roughly counting, there were at the very least thousands of people.
Most of them were from wealthy families, and relatively few were from poor backgrounds.
The test had not yet started, so the teenagers in the hall were chatting among themselves. Their faces were full of expectation, tension, excitement, and other emotions.
The Province Test was an opportunity for them to change their destiny. If they could grab it, they would become famous all over the world. From then on, they would be able to surpass most of the practitioners in the world.
“I heard that in the Province Test, the top-ranking figures of the Southwest Province will come to watch. This is a rare opportunity; even if we fail, as long as our performances are good, there is certainly a chance to be picked by those bigshots.”
“It’s too bad to hear this. Before the examination even began, you bring up failure. It's just too spiteful.”
“It's not a matter of moral integrity, it's a matter of reality. You don’t think that people like us can compete with the real top talents, right? Of the 100 that pass the examination, you certainly will have no place in there.”
“I know. I don't really have the confidence to pass the examination. I just want to avoid meeting the top geniuses in the test so that I can show my strength for a bit longer. It will be good enough for me to be picked by a top power.”
“That’s what I want to say. Those prodigies are just too powerful. I heard that many of them are already in the Heaven-gang Realm. Even the top figures who have long been well-known, such as Shue Shaolin, Yu Wenjing, Le Zhiyou, Yun Zitong, have reached the Heaven-gang Realm!”
“Oh my God, they are in the Heaven-gang Realm? It's too scary.”
“Why are you so surprised? The test only stipulates that the age of the practitioner must be under 18 and at least reach the Human-gang Realm. It doesn’t forbid those of much higher realm.”
“Damn it, we will be competing against monsters. Who can imagine that teenagers can also reach the Heaven-gang Realm? I just hope I don't encounter those abnormalities later.”
“Aha, it is undoubtedly good to have a high realm. But don't forget that there are some powerful youths in Human-gang Realm, too. Some of them can even fight beyond their realms.”

“There are?”
“Of course, it’s Lin Xun.”
“I knew it must be him. He is usually the least one people want to meet.”
“Damn it! You’re right; that is a living pervert, really. I heard that a few days ago, Lin Xun fought directly with the Heaven-gang puppet in the Azure Ashram field to practice his martial arts. He is really not ordinary!”
In the assessment area, the contestants were constantly analyzing the situation and the opponents they would face, livening up the atmosphere.
While talking about the cream of the young generation with great fame, all of them would mention Lin Xun, which made Lin Xun, who had just arrived here, feel shocked. It never occurred to him that he was already so famous.
The strangest thing was that those guys were talking about him, but no one recognized him. He was standing right in front of them, which made Lin Xun feel funny.
Suddenly, he became dumbfounded to see a fat teenager next to him close his eyes and hands while muttering like a devout worshipper.
He obscurely heard what he was saying: “God, please, don't let me encounter a pervert like Lin Xun.”
Lin Xun almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. “Am I really so terrifying?”
At this time, the little fat man opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of Lin Xun's speechless appearance. He could not help saying, "Don't be ridiculous! Buddy! From what I know, Lin Xun is an evil star; whoever provokes him would suffer a great loss.”
Lin Xun didn’t know how to reply.
Seeing Lin Xun’s indifference, the fatty became anxious. “I’m not lying to you. I watched Lin Xun and Huang Jianchen’s fight a few days ago, and you can't imagine how horrifying he really is.”
Lin Xun finally couldn't help but ask, “Since you have watched the fight, can you tell me what Lin Xun looks like?”
The Little Fatty said without thinking, “I was sitting too far at that time and could only vaguely perceive that he was three meters tall with a green face and tusks. He was so fierce that he looked like a ghost from hell.”
Lin Xun turned a white eye to the fatty, resisted the impulse of hitting him, turned his head, and left. It was just too annoying.
When did he become a green-faced devil?
“Hey, man, why are you leaving? I ain’t joking.”
The fatty cried behind him.
How could Lin Xun listen to him again? It was already very kind not to beat him up.
Lin Xun finally determined that those who participated in the assessment might have heard some of his things, but most of them were just ridiculous.
Before long, Lin Xun finally saw some acquaintances, such as Wen Mingxiu, Yuan Shu, Qi Yunxiao, and so on. Obviously, they were also participating in the Province Test.

Almost at the same time, Wen Mingxiu also saw Lin Xun, who was alone, and they suddenly felt at a loss for words.
Most of them had twisted feelings regarding Lin Xun, including hatred, fear, awe, and admiration.
“Sister Mingxiu, what's wrong with you?”
Suddenly, a young man in a brocade robe came over and glanced at Wen Mingxiu with a slight surprise.
“Brother Shue.”
“Great to meet you, brother Shue.”
Suddenly, Wen Mingxiu was awoken from her thoughts. When they saw the young man in the brocade robe, they could not help showing respect.
Shue Shaolin, one of the four most famous prodigies in Mist College, was only seventeen years old, but he had already reached Heaven-gang Realm.
“Sorry, Brother Shue, we just met an acquaintance.”
Wen Mingxiu explained it softly.
“Is it the heir of our Mist College?”
Shue Shaolin asked with interest.
“No, he isn’t.”
Wen Mingxiu shook her head, and Qi Yunxiao took the lead to explain, "Brother Shue, weren’t you curious about Lin Xun? Look, there he is." He then pointed to the distance.
Lin Xun!
Shue Shaolin’s eyes glistened, and he looked in the said direction, but he could only see Lin Xun's back, which soon disappeared into the crowd.
However, Shue Shaolin was able to commit Lin Xun to memory with just a glance. As early as a few days ago, he often heard Lin Xun’s name, who had defeated Huang Jianchen. He couldn’t help wondering what kind of person this guy really was.
Now, he finally saw Lin Xun personally, but unfortunately, it was only a silhouette.
“If I have the chance, I’d like to compete with him in the Province Test. It would be interesting.”
Shue Shaolin said with a slight smile.
The group of Wen Mingxiu was surprised, and their moods turned complex. Although Shue Shaolin was in Heaven-gang Realm, which was two realms higher than Lin Xun, it was hard to say who would emerge victorious if they tussled.
They weren’t belittling Shue Shaolin, but they all knew that Lin Xun was a monster who didn’t follow common sense. Anyone who dared to underestimate him was definitely an idiot.
Seeing their reactions, Shue Shaolin was stunned. After a thought, he realized that Lin Xun was strong enough to keep Wen Mingxiu silent.
It was getting more and more entertaining.
Shue Shaolin's heart surged with an irrepressible ambition. If he had just said it casually before, then at this moment, he really wanted to have a fight with Lin Xun.
Shue Shaolin suddenly thought that if Yu Wenjing, Le Zhiyou, and Yun Zitong knew this, they might have the same idea.
…
Soon, there suddenly sounded a resonant and clear bell. The noisy and lively atmosphere of the venue instantly became silent.
All the audience around the venue and the strong contestants waiting in the examination area, looked at the most eastern part of the site.
There, in mid-air, floated a white jade plateau like a castle, which had fog rolling on the surface and appeared incomparably mysterious.
At this time, there was already a row of figures sitting on the white jade platform. The governor Liu Wujun was in the center, and on both sides of him, there were the president of Mist College Wei Lingzhen and the charger of Ziling Army Du Dongtu. Many great practitioners were standing behind them.
They were the witnesses of the Province Test and would cooperate with the chief examiner Liu Wujun in the evaluation.
The venue was peaceful, and the atmosphere became solemn.
Under the attention of everyone, Wei Lingzhen got up first and announced some rules and precautions of the Province Test. Later, he encouraged those who were participating in the examination. His voice was resounding like thunder, floating around the world.
Finally, he glanced one last time at the field and announced the start of the Province Test.
Almost at the same time, in the assessment area, a group of participants were arranged in different zones and began to draw lots.
Lin Xun drew a lot marked with the words "Round 1, No. 36" and "Rival Tan Long", which meant that he would fight in the first round on the 36th platform, and his opponent would be someone named Tan Long.
According to the rules of the Province Test, the other ninety-nine platforms in the field would also hold battles at the same time.
Time was limited to 15 minutes for each. The winner would enter the next round of the assessment, and the loser would be eliminated directly.
When the time was up, and if there was no winner, the two practitioners involved in the battle would be eliminated together.
When the first battle was over, two hundred other practitioners would continue to fight on the stage.
The first round wouldn’t be over until all 5,436 contestants had finished their fights.
In other words, in the opening round of the assessment, every participant would fight the opponent he drew on the stage following the order.
It could be reckoned when the first round of assessment was over, half of the total practitioners would be eliminated.
That meant that the number would be 2,718. This elimination rate was not only cruel but also abnormal for the participants.

Re:The Worst System Leveling Turned Me Into A Zombie
Before I reached Lvl. 100, they called me Death God Hei. But when I broke the limit, the System punished me. It cursed me to become this monster. I woke up as a Lvl. 0 again. Dying only brings me back to a save point now. But I don't go back until I die twice. First I suffer as a human, then I hunger as a zombie. The worst part is...I still have to watch when that thing takes over my corpse. I call it the Gray. I can't do anything even when it's hunting down those I'm trying to save. Sometimes, I wonder. When I level, I swear I can hear a voice speaking to me. This thing...can it think? It's like Re:zero crossed with SAO, Solo Leveling, and Tokyo Ghoul Re:The Worst System is a dark, 1st person timeloop story where the main character is slowly driven insane by his ability to respawn at a save point. However, each time he levels, there's a possibility that the next time he dies, the zombie inside him will become too powerful for anyone to stop. So he has to level up a harem...ahem, others, to fight for him against the System. Oftentimes, Hei will get trapped in repeating death loops which are truly terrifying. You've been warned...please don't read if you're not willing to see the darkness all the way through. The light on the other side may be a long ways away...I'll be trying to post on Thurs/Sundays, but honestly, depending on how I'm feeling, chapters could come out at some wonky times. If you want to support the story, read ahead, or bribe me to write more, I'd appreciate you checking out my Patreon, but this story will be updated frequently for free anyways.

Bleached Nightmare
500 years into the future, technological progress has stagnated. Wracked by a series of problems like climate change, lack of resources and the innate human lust for war, the geopolitical landscape of planet Earth is radically different, and quality of life is far from what it was in the past. While technical development and research into realistically feasible space travel has made leaps and bounds, this has come at the cost of a world that is reeling from centuries of technical stagnation in other aspects of life. The establishment of a mining colony on Mars has led to the discovery of a new, rare material called sarinium; though it is extremely tensile and durable, it has a very low melting point. The discovery of this metal leads to large mechanical infantry- dubbed 'Spirit Striders', they are six to ten meters tall and as famed for the pride they provide a nation as they are a lethally mobile heavy weapons platform. The story follows the character of Marilin, who must both figure the enigma that is her past, and what this means for her allegiances in the future. Despite her genetically physical frailty, she seeks to gain power through a vessel that will channel her wish to change the world- the Spirit Strider. --- I hope you all enjoy my work. This is a story that I began writing over four years ago in my beginning years of high school, and have cast aside unfinished in the past two years. Though it is not up to my current standards, I hope you all may find some enjoyment in it. Happy reading.

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.

Quantum Rip: Welcome to Ethos
A special day has come, a day that Earth has awaited for oh so long. The day where they are finally going to try and run the reactor. This had been long-awaited and everyone dropped off their kids with a hint of dread. Hoping that nothing would go wrong, we know it did. Since else there would not be a story. I won't go into too much detail, but only simply explain what happened. Due to some malfunctioning and incorrect assumptions, the reactor overproduced energy. Something which should have been impossible according to all the known knowledge of a really advanced Earth. I mean, they have even started colonizing planets. Have done countless simulations and even built test stations in space. Yet now, something had gone when they did the same on earth. Bizarre, right? This malfunctioning and imploding of the reactor caused a massive explosion due to the instability of space itself. This is also what allowed the story to exist, as our main characters were all transported. The method is not known, nor why they survived. We can say it is for the story, for now... They all now find themselves on Ethos, eating a mouthful of dirt as they struggled for breath. Some find their situation horrible, others find it relaxing and peaceful. Some see death, others see life. Despair and hope, madness and sanity on an edge. What has fate given you? Welcome to Ethos, a planet of magic.Welcome to Ethos, a planet orbiting an exotic star.Ethos wishes you luck in surviving. Maybe, just maybe... You can someday go back, or not. -----------------Release rate: 3 chapters(1200-1400 words) a week.
