Chapter 41: Second Element
The two slashes collided, but Jia Yuan’s was overpowered!
Jia Yuan moved to move, but the water moved too fast!
The blade of water sliced into Jia Yuan’s body, and he
groaned in pain.
Jia Yuan felt that the wound wasn’t too deep, but it would
start to hinder him if he lost too much blood.
Gritting his teeth, Jia Yuan charged towards Jia Rou, who
did the same. After an initial clash, the two exchanged a flurry of blows, flames
flying out from Jia Yuan’s side, and spouts of water erupting from Jia Rou’s.
“Fire Blade!” Jia Yuan dashed back and leaped back forward,
raising his sword overhead in a two-handed grip. This was the same move he had
used to “defeat” Guo Huo back at the Black Wing Merchant Guild Hall.
However, as Jia Yuan swung his sword down, the fiery aura
was condensed in the blade and not only a little fire leaked out.
“BOOM!”
The entire stage shook as Jia Rou blocked the blow. However,
both contestants were pushed back several meters, with Jia Yuan actually being
blown back slightly farther.
However, at this moment, Jia Yuan felt a change in his body.
He was breaking through to the 4th level of Absorption!
Ripples of his aura spread across the stage, surprising Jia
Rou, as well as the announcer!
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is quite an event! It seems that
Jia Yuan actually just progressed to the 4th level of Absorption!”
Exclaims of surprise spread through the audience!
An eleven year old at the 4th level of
Absorption!
However, Jia Yuan had no time to celebrate, as Jia Rou continued
his barrage of unrelenting attacks.
The two swords clashed together, and the fight was actually
completely even! Although Jia Yuan had progressed to the 4th level

of Absorption, he wasn’t completely used to it and so wasn’t using the power at
its full potential.
Over time though, Jia Yuan began to push Jia Rou back, until
Jia Rou was at the edge of the stage.
In a last ditch effort, Jia Rou thrust his sword towards Jia
Yuan, and a bead of water shot out. This single bead of water contained immense
power!
Jia Yuan quickly move to block with his sword, and was able
to cut the bead of water in half. However, one of the halves shot into Jia Yuan’s
chest, deepening part of the wound that was already there.
At this moment, however, an unusual change was happening in
Jia Yuan’s body and soul.
The Song of Swords was capable of all four elements found on
the Continent of the Five elements. By hitting the 4th level of Absorption,
his body and soul had reached the requirement for using a second element!
Jia Yuan was capable of using the water element! The water
element of his Song had awoken! Now, in Jia Yuan’s soul, stood two unmoving figures.
The first was Jia Yuan in a fiery robe wielding an axe, the second was Jia Yuan
standing in a blue robe, wielding a sword.
Suddenly, the aura around his body exploded in a burst of
both fire and water, shooting Jia Rou out of the arena, as well as destroying
most of the stage around Jia Yuan, who fainted.
“What?!” Guo Huo was extremely shocked and fearful as to what
just happened. After all, he didn’t know about the Song of Swords.
When he saw Jia Yuan collapse, he thought that perhaps Jia
Yuan had taken too much damage from the fight! After all, he couldn’t see how
deep Jia Yuan’s wounds were, and that explosion at the end…

Guo Huo ran to Jia Yuan and examined Jia Yuan’s body.
“Ahhhh whew.” Guo Huo heaved a sigh of relief. “He only
tired himself out. Still, I have to get him to the doctors to treat these
wounds.”
For all of the things Guo Huo was talented in, detailed
medical work was not one of them. Although the cut on Jia Yuan’s chest wasn’t
too bad, it would still need stitches. As for the hole where the bullet of
water had punctured… It would take some time to heal.
Jia Rou was similarly stunned, and some people who seemed to
be his friends came over from the sidelines. Although they couldn’t really
fault Jia Yuan for hurting Jia Rou as the arena was a palce of bloodshed, they
all looked at Jia Yuan with looks full of killing intent.
Guo Huo naturally saw this, and shook his head. Looks like
he would have to keep a tight watch on Jia Yuan’s security.
He picked Jia Yuan off the ground and had the guide lead Jia
Yuan to the arena’s medical area.

Reality Grants One Chance
Some people are lucky, some aren't, some - have terrible luck. Our "hero" is of the latter kind. During young age he got into an accident, which allowed him to learn the fact that he belongs to a rare group of people.. People diagnosed with lung cancer, which he, however survived. Can't say he's lucky, as his life went downhill from that point... Our story happens years later, when his fate decides to make a loop and throw him in the same kind of accident. He gets hit by a truck. Surviving the crash, suffering just a few scratches, he is ultimately "lucky" to find himself out of the hospital in no time.. however every bit of good luck always brings him terrible luck afterwards. This time pushing him maybe a bit too far.. How far? Making him vanish without a trace and find himself in the middle of an unknown forrest. Doesn't sound bad? He can consider himself lucky? Just wait and see...It can always get worse.. always.. .... Congratulations, you've made it through the intro and into the author note! If you by any chance missed the tags and didn't read the warning, please do that now. I really recommend you to. Before you jump to reading, and unintentionally scar yourself, do mind that the story is about a dark, unforgiving world, a world in which you have more opportunities to die a horrible death, than take a piss. Hero doesn't have great luck, he has dumb persistance, he doesn't go through any trial with a breeze, he pays the price of blood, flesh and tears to live..and will be paying for every mistake.. No one outright explains anything to him, just as us for the most part - he is not sure what the hell is going on.. Some real survival tactics are used as a base of the descriptions, they are as important to the world and character as any other element.. Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.

The Orb Weaver Chronicles
"The Orb Weaver Chronicles contains several major and unique events that may or may not unknowingly intertwines with one another. The author of these chronicles is unknown, although some have hinted at the symbolism behind its name..." - Year unknown, location unknown 9 February 2022 Update: Welcome to the companion short story compilation of my novel trilogy The Shadow Paradigm. This compilation features prequels, sidequels and sequels to the novel's major plotline, as well as featuring a wide range of characters, new and recurring. Prior knowledge of the novel is not necessary as the Orb Weaver Chronicles' short stories are standalone. Once called The Arkesyyan Chronicles, I've deleted quite a few of its old stories. Due to the new avenue and revision, oriented toward more mystery and film-noir ambience, that I took my stories into, I've removed all aliens and overly sci-fi aspects of the whole TSP lineup, so I've updated the Orb Weaver Chronicles accordingly. I hope you enjoy them, and in time, a revised version will also be updated.
