Corpo Age - Chapter 263: Planning to the End
Google Docs LinkA frown naturally came to me upon hearing NPC’s latest suggestion. I was sure he had thought hard about it, trying to come up with a solution that I could accept, but he should’ve known I had quite a few acquaintances within the wasteland. In fact, having spent a decent amount of time there, I was quite knowledgeable about the situation out there. It was one of the best sources of experience points with all the wasteland mutants that roamed the desert.“I don’t think that...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 234: Numerically Superior
Google Docs Link“This…” Xie Zhi and Yuan Tao were at a loss for words.Facing three opponents may have posed a challenge to them, but it was one they believed they could still handle. The two could tell the intruders were inexperienced, and they knew how to exploit that to their advantage. They had them figuratively against the wall, so they disregarded their bluffs about reinforcements.However, they never expected to be proven wrong within the next moment. They really did have backup, and ...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 233: Carried Away
Google Docs LinkLi Lang rushed down the dark passageway, heading exactly where his Tracing Origin Art directed him. The depth of the tunnel made him anxious, as the possibility of this being the wrong path was not zero. There could have been other routes that snaked around to where he needed to go, while the one he was on led to a dead end.If that was the case, he would have to backtrack and come across the hostile deviator Long Yi was holding off again.Thankfully, he soon heard a noise coming f...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 232: Unaware
Google Docs LinkLi Lang and Long Yi both snapped around upon hearing someone calling out to them. They were both caught off guard by the sudden newcomer, but they didn’t panic. They had accounted for such situations.Cultivators had many tricks up their sleeves. It wasn’t unusual that they possessed some technique that could avoid detection, as their Concealment Talisman did.They were thankful that this new person before them didn’t ambush them with the initiative he had. It could’ve gone...
Corpo Age - Chapter 262: Race
Google Docs LinkUnder the cover of my smokescreen, we sowed chaos among our enemies while we moved to reposition ourselves away from the bridge. Despite how well-equipped our enemies were, wasn’t an insurmountable hurdle to lose them.They were busy dealing with the silverish smoke that constantly tried to seep into any cracks it could find. If it succeeded in reaching the electronics inside their equipment, it could easily fry their hardware.At the same time, we specialized in stealth. It was ...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 231: Introductions
Google Docs LinkThe world around the mountain range constantly flickered between total darkness and bright flashing lights. It was accentuated by the occasional sound of metal clashing. Li Lang and Long Yi couldn’t afford to look back at the scene of battle as they rushed away.They had received the signal to retreat. While every fiber of their being wanted to ignore it and rush into the stronghold of the demonic deviators, they still complied in the end. They knew just because they wanted some...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 230: Settling Doubts
Google Docs Link“I don’t know w-what has gotten into you, but we c-can’t delay our trip,” Wei Ping’s father patiently explained. “Like I had taught y-you before, breaking the terms of contracts is a last r-resort. We can’t just give up at the first sight of a-adversity.”“But—”Wei Ping caught himself before continuing his words. He wanted to yell that they had to return or he would die, but he knew how stubborn his father was. He couldn’t exactly come out and say he would ...
Corpo Age - Chapter 261: Other Side of the Coin
Google Docs LinkI took the time to think things over before I accepted the supposed leader of the enemy force’s invitation for a chat. It gave me time to inspect the equipment of the people before me. They had managed to box us in quickly and could not be underestimated.Their slim design hid much of the details of their equipment. I wasn’t able to find any exploitable weaknesses, but I did notice the different types of power armor they wore. Like with the force that had rescued me from Nova ...
Corpo Age - Chapter 260: Forceful Measures
AN: Sorry for the delay! I had to unexpectedly stay up an entire day for something else. Thank you for your patience!Google Docs LinkI banked my points as we continued to ambush enemy fleets with the deep strike force. I could make the decision at a later date. For now, I had to focus on surviving while earning more experience points.“The fighting on all fronts has eased,” the captain of the deep strike force announced. “After this next raid, we will start evacuating from this area.”“U...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 229: Recklessness
Google Docs LinkWei Ping didn’t lose himself in his memories for long. He was short on time. He had to act soon or else his captor, Yuan Kai, could return at any moment.Even if his friends were currently fighting outside, Wei Ping doubted they would be able to fight their way through in time before he had his life force stolen from him.“It m-may be scary, but I have to p-press on!” He turned to the portly woman in the neighboring cell. “Can you help me get out of these restraints?”“H...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 228: Core Memory
Google Docs LinkJust as Wei Ping was praying for his allies to hurry to his rescue, he quickly shook those thoughts out of his mind.When did I grow so weak? Leaving my fate to others?Wei Ping had grown up alone from an early age. He was once proud of his independence and resourcefulness, but he had at some point become reliant on his companions! The unwillingness to allow such a travesty to continue reignited his determination. His mind started to race in a different direction. He began brainsto...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 227: Kidnapped
Google Docs LinkCold winds battering against his cheeks. That was the feeling that Wei Ping woke up to. However, it was only when he opened his eyes that he began to realize the situation he was in.He was being carried on someone’s shoulder, like a sack of potatoes. The dense foliage rapidly passed below him. It only took a few moments for Wei Ping to go through the last things he remembered. He had been caught in some sturdy vines and had fallen off the Skyrunner in his struggle to break free...
Corpo Age - Chapter 259: Second Thoughts
Google Docs LinkSilas - SocialCorpInside one of the many space stations orbiting a lush green planet, many people could be seen scurrying about.The area inside their workspace was quite unique. It had a mix of advanced tech like super terminals and various types of artwork. The art felt somewhat out of place because no one around had any time to spare. There was only one thing on the minds of these people as they hustled and bustled; to complete their jobs.Among the hundreds of people inside thi...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 226: Pursuit
Google Docs Link“I shouldn’t have forced him to come with us,” Li Lang murmured weakly. “He could’ve stayed in the Crucible like he wanted. I forced him into a situation he knew he was unprepared for.”“Enough with that already!” Long Yi bellowed. “It’s not helping. Save your energy for when we arrive.”Seeing the two young men agitated, Zhu Yi shook her head.“Your friend is right. There’s no time for reflection or second-guessing.”With a dreary mood, the group silently...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 225: Synergistic Techniques
Google Docs LinkLi Lang quickly huddled with Long Yi in the center of the Skyrunner. They knew tough enemies had appeared, and the best thing they could do was stay out of their allies’ way.“Should we jump down?” Long Yi whispered.Their vehicle was currently suspended in mid-air by the roots that had suddenly sprouted all over them. Their friend, Wei Ping, had even fallen off to the ground. It made the question easy for Li Lang to answer.“Yes, do it.”The two discreetly moved over to th...
Corpo Age - Chapter 258: One By One
Google Docs LinkMylan - Nova TechMylan groaned upon hearing the alarm ring out across Europa Station, his new post.Everything had been a mess recently. Both his personal life, business life, and just pretty much everything all around. He was happy with his comfy position as a navigator for one of the many ships his company owned. Most of the time, he just set the coordinates, and then he only needed to monitor things. It was a comfortable job with a high salary.However, that all changed when the...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 224: Dense Greenery
Google Docs Link“Seniors!” Li Lang called out. “Should we climb away?”Despite not knowing the situation, Li Lang wanted to do something to address the current situation. He didn’t know what caused the treeline below to be stalking them, but he knew it wasn’t good to allow it to continue.“No,” Zhu Yi replied. “It’s no use.”The Nightmoon Valley cultivator kept it short for a good reason. The Skyrunner suddenly jerked. The entire vehicle slowed down, and the occupants were ala...
Corpo Age - Chapter 257: Strike Force
Google Docs LinkAs the ambushers rained down projectiles and explosives at us, several guards from SocialCorp activated a large energy shield that enveloped the entire entrance to the shipyard.We were quickly ushered into the building while they held off our enemies.“Get to someplace secure. We should be able to deal with it within the hour!”“No, need. We’ll help out with the defense.”“Sir, our orders are to ensure your safety. Please don’t expose yourself to unnecessary risks.”...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 223: Witherfall City
Google Docs Link“Teacher Yu,” Li Lang interrupted her mid-speech by shooting up his hand. “What about artifacts capable of ranged attacks? Are they the same as all the other artifacts?”“That’s correct. They are, but with one big caveat. Ranged artifacts constantly consume a colossal amount of Qi to operate, as the energy imbued into the projectile is consumed entirely. It is basically no different from many Qi arts. In fact, a solid melee artifact could enhance most Qi arts to a leve...
Corpo Age - Chapter 256: Cooperation
AN: If you haven't yet, please consider leaving a review on the Amazon page for book 1. It helps a lot!Google Docs LinkI can’t say I had never considered ways to quickly obtain experience points. The system naturally encouraged killing, so if I had set off a bomb somewhere crowded, I was likely to get boatloads of it.However, there was a reason I never went so far. It just wasn’t worth becoming a mass murderer over. In my early days, if I had done something so heinous, I was confident th...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 222: Artificer Guild
Google Docs LinkEntering Witherfall City was easy. Eroding March Pavilion was only a small faction on the grand scale of things prior to the incident in the pocket realm. That naturally meant the cities in their area were on a smaller scale as well.These small settlements treated cultivators like kings, especially those who were true cultivators. No one dared to give Li Lang’s group any trouble, and they quickly arrived at the Artificer Guild.The guild building was an unimpressive structure wh...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 221: Lacking
Google Docs LinkThe fight continued even with Long Yi sustaining injuries. To cultivators, such wounds that only damaged the skin were barely considered injuries at all. Those who practiced special techniques would be able to recover from them within a minute, while those who didn’t could simply consume a Recovery Pill.Long Yi did neither. He was focused on the fight as it devolved into a mind game of sorts. When the beetle Qi beast got too close, he would kite back and use his ranged attack t...
Corpo Age - Chapter 255: Ideals
Google Docs LinkRalph - ???“You are to mobilize at the first opportunity. Am I understood?”“Yes, sir!” Ralph saluted the mysterious figure on the other end of the call before it abruptly cut off.He then glanced over at his virtual reality pod, pondering deeply about something.

There was only one other person in i...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 220: Elemental Superiority
Google Docs LinkWith Li Lang clearing away from the scene, Long Yi was left to face the oncoming beetle-type Qi beast alone. It left him frowning. He could barely make out its figure in the distance, but it had the power to snipe him from range!The two Nightmoon Valley disciples had also distanced themselves, so the beast naturally focused its next attack on Long Yi. Another stream of unidentified liquids shot forth across the mountain range. It traveled so fast that Long Yi could barely react d...
Corpo Age - Chapter 254: The Gamer
Google Docs LinkNPC - SocialCorp(?)Two men were seen near a waterway, with one of them lying completely flat on the artificial grass. He seemed relaxed as he enjoyed the view of the night sky coupled with the backdrop of the space elevator. His demeanor contrasted greatly with his partner, who was visibly tense.

I wasn’t sure exactly what strategic positi...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 217: Dropping the News
Google Docs LinkHow do cultivators sense each other?That was the question Li Lang had to ask when he got started with developing his own concealment art. From the few methods available to him, he found that the most common method was to detect the fluctuations in the ambient Qi that were caused by cultivators’ autonomic process of absorbing and releasing Qi.There was a constant intake and outtake of energy, whether they did so consciously or not. It flowed in and out like a person breathing. I...
