281. On Second Thoughts
[I can buy stuff online?!] [Error: Datalink failed. Running internal diagnostics. Communications Equipment damaged, patchwork repairs detected, only rescue beacon and theft report functions are available.] Rescue Beacon?! Remian hesitated. What would happen if he called for a rescue? Would he be able to find a way for this alien civilization to cure him? Would they be friendly? Or would this gamble end up destroying both him and this Qi World? Thinking about the people who built the Pod, Remian felt assured that they were unlikely to destroy this world off-hand. It was much more likely they would try to sell the locals their products in an Always Happy manner because Always Happy Means More Sales. Then again, doing so would change this world forever. Was it worth it? Everything to gain for him, but this world’s destiny would be changed irreversibly. Oh, come on, that wreck in the Red Mists meant they were coming here already anyway, or

282. Big Movements
George tried to talk sense to the other side. “Admiral, a direct attack was pointless, we still have no way to Seal the Rift! Admiral! Admiral!” But which great Admiral would listen to a child? “All forces forward!! For glory!” “What are we going to do?” George was half-tearing at his hair in frustration. Tim sighed. “I’ll take the west side.” “What? What do you mean? What’s going on?” George blinked. “See that?” Tim pointed to Darian’s back. “That’s East.” “So?” George still didn’t get it. “I’m going that way.” Tim pointed in the other direction. “Why?” George was still blur. “To raise a ruckus and draw the Tier 8’s out to fight us. Otherwise that Libertarian fleet is going to run right into a wall of Tier 8’s and get themselves slaughtered.” Tim explained. “We have to draw their attention away from that fleet.” Mindy jumped up. “Chirpy and I will join you. We’ll let the Wind Emperor back Darian up.”

283. Basic Formations
“In this world of martial dao, the levels of arrays are denoted according to the power of their output, not their complexity. Therefore, both Lee Kee’s Shrieking Array and the Sandstone Raising Array are considered Level 1 Arrays, even though the Shrieking Array only consists of two layers while the Sandstone Raising Array requires nine.” Remian was reading the Alchemist’s Basic Guide to Formations. “However, generally speaking, the more power an array employs, the more complex it needs to be. Simple yet powerful formations are the dream of every array master, but are few and usually held very secret and very precious by those who know them and are not easily learned.” Remian took a break. He glanced over at Xiao Yan, sitting next to the Food Processor. “How goes your reading?” They had actually bought two copies of the same book so they could both read at the same time. “I’m still at the components.” Xiao Yan rubbed her head. “Core, supports, catalys

284. Academia
They went to the Headquarters and registered for classes. Registration went well enough until someone asked, “What is your cultivation level?” “Uh… we don’t have any cultivation. We’re physically unable to cultivate.” “You’re cripples?!” There was a sudden change in tone and temperament to be noted from the Registrar. In response, Remian quietly slipped a little something into the Registrar’s hand under the table. “Uh…” again, a shift in tone and temperament. “I’m sorry, I really am, but we can’t…” Another something was slipped under the table. “Please, understand! We really can’t…” A third something slipped from hand to hand under the table. “Uh… I…” the Registrar struggled, then closed her eyes and sighed. “I can’t. I’m truly, truly sorry. But we can’t certify a Formation Master who can’t actually make or use Formations, and you can’t do that without being able to control Qi!” “I don’t need certificati

285. Student Progress
Gary went shopping with aplomb. “I want that house!” he picked a spacious bungalow close to the Academy. “I want that horse!” “I want that necklace! It should fit Siti…” Of course, Gary wouldn’t be so irresponsible as to ignore the actual reason why he had sudden unlimited shopping funds, and he wasn’t crazy enough to spend Mindy’s money until she was broke. Just a few million Lir for the sake of a better future with Siti… most of it had to be spent properly, on the things they would need for their trip to the Wildlands and the investigation of the spatial anomaly. For example, the minute Tang Yin heard that they had funding, he started scribbling a long list of lab equipment he wanted. This included at least ten blue mana crystals bought directly from the Academy’s Emergency Stores, each of which came at the escalated cost of 200,000 lir. Adding in the rest of the equipment brought Tang Yin’s bill up to nearly five million lir. Gary a

286. Young is not a problem here
Meanwhile, the defenders at Dragon Lake received bad news. “A fifth Tier 8 Spectre?!” Mindy quailed. “But we just managed to get the upper hand!” With Mal’thor-dras added to their ranks at Dragon Lake, the defenders had been able to breathe easier, as their top defenders outnumbered the four Tier 8 Spectres. They’d had room to maneuver, time to recover, even took opportunities to advance against the incoming incursion. But with the appearance of a fifth Tier 8, that numerical advantage was lost once again. “They’re just going to keep coming. More and more of them are just going to waltz right through that Rift, and there’s nothing we can do to stop them.” George mourned. “There is!” Mindy cut in. “Gary is bringing the spatial magic specialist over. They’re already on the way. Once they’re here, we need to escort them to the Rift. Then… then…” “Then they seal up the Rift for good, and the war is over. The Spectres are done for, whether

287. So much for stealth
They were attacked ten seconds after they reached the Spectre lines. “But… but we have perfect cloud cover!” Gary protested, as Loh brought their airship into a tight swerve to avoid a blast of ghostly energy from a Tier 7 Spectral Beast. “Well, that proves my theory.” Tang Yin mentioned, holding on tightly to some safety netting. “What theory?” “Spectres don’t use eyes.” Gary stared at him, gaping for the better part of five seconds as Loh sent the airship into crazy maneuvers to avoid more and more Spectral blasts. “SAY THAT EARLIER!” “It was just a theory!” Tang Yin said defensively. BOOM! The airship took a direct hit from one of the smaller Spectral Blasts. This one came from a Tier 5 Spectral Flyer that had swooped in close. It had triangular wings, three tails, claws on the wingtips and feet, but only a three-tentacled mouth for a head. There were no eyes, ears, or any such sensory organs visible on the opaque beast.

288. Fall of an Emperor
[Tim?] [Yes, Darian?] [Can you go check on Mindy? I have a bad feeling.] [She said she’s fine.] [She always says she’s fine. Do you always believe her?] [Usually. She’s a tough girl.] [I know, but…] [Darian, in case you didn’t notice, I can’t fly. Without Khar’al-dras, I’m just about useless in a fight of this level. Even if I went over and left Khar’al-dras here, there wouldn’t be much I could do.] [Bring the dragon.] [And leave the Wind Emperor alone without any correspondent? Are you serious?!] [Okay, that would be a bad idea. He’s liable to comandeer the entire defense line and have them all charging the enemy blindly.] [You mean, like George is doing right now?] There was a short, awkward silence. [I’ll bring the dragon.] Tim concluded. [No, don’t. Keep an eye on the Wind Emperor. I’ll go see if George can muster up some backup for Mindy.] *** [Backup?

289. Pierce
[Guys… I’m sorry.] [Mindy? Mindy!] Darian called. [Darian. They’re coming. Two Tier 8’s. Sharphorn and Three-Arms are headed straight for you.] [Blast!] Darian would have spewed bad words if he hadn’t been considerate of Mindy’s state of mind. [Gary! Hurry up!] [We’re going as fast as we can!] Compared to Mindy’s mental voice, Gary’s was tiny, like a little squeak. [Kor’ag! We’ve got incoming!] Darian warned. Kor’ag-dras roared, filling the skies with fire, but it was already all he could do to hold back the swarm of Tier 7 flyers. Adding another two more Tier 8’s on top of all this… [Tim! George! We need backup!] [We’re already throwing everything we’ve got at them!] George’s answer was filled with frustration. Then, there was a short silence. [Tim?] Darian dared ask hopefully, even as Three-Arms and Sharphorn approached. [I’m sending over the Wind Emperor.] Tim said at last. [Can you manage?] D

290. Forward
“Forward!” Max shouted. With Marcus and Gaius injured and recovering in the Medical Tent, tonight it was his shift for command. “Iron Legion, forward!” “Ho!” Surrounded by untold numbers of hostiles, even the Iron Legion was flagging. Even as they ran forward, they did so cautiously, and thus, lacked the full might that should have been in their charge. Like this… mankind’s central forces failed to make any headway into the Spectres’ army. With a single glance back Max could see George at the end of his wits. As the battle wore on and the Flame Emperor fell, even more people began to hold back, and withdraw, and skirt the edges. Some squads even fell back. Max finally raised one hand, clenched into a fist. “Iron Legion, halt!” “Ho!” the Legion stopped. Max gritted his teeth. This could not go on. In that moment of silence, Max grimly held out his shield, and beat the flat of his sword against it. Clank! The sound was a lonely o
