Reborn in another world [Endurance]
The girl didn't get to breathe not even for a moment, because the second the shackles of light went for the wraith devourers. Some were also instantly reaching out towards Zhi Ruo who was a distance away from Alberu. Zhōngguó on Zhi Ruo's hands vibrated restlessly upon sensing the numerous chains heading towards them.There was a sigh that left Zhi Ruo as she popped another pill unto her mouth, she faced the incoming chains with an impatient gaze. There was fractures in her skin from Qi overload, but that didn't seem to bother her, because as quickly as Qi entered her system, she was also expelling them at higher rate.Clang clang clang.Continuous clinging of metal echoed throughout the arena as Zhi Ruo smacked every chain that was heading straight at her way with Zhōngguó on her hand. Seeing this scene rendered not only Alberu speechless, but also the audience that were watching ; specifically those that had prior knowledge or experiences with the light element (via rumors, researc
Reborn in another world [Art of a frontal ambush]
Zhi Ruo was an impatient woman, never was patient and probably never will. The requirements for her to be able to make use of of her skills was there. And she wasn't about to pass up the opportunity. And so, without further ado, large amounts of sand crept up from behind Zhi Ruo steadily.There was a flicker in Alberu's eyes upon seeing the sand that Zhi Ruo was conjuring up. He could only watch helplessly with his hands up. As the sand crowded around Alberu's sheild, Zhi Ruo didn't try and make the sand slither unto the cracks. But rather, she merely did it so that it looks like it was hovering over the shield that Alberu put up.One of the empty capsule that was loitering around Zhi Ruo, floating idly without any spells inside, came up and hovered around Zhi Ruo's shoulders. Soon, Alberu noticed the capsule, instantly a bad premonition crept up to him that echoed inside his mind— nevermind 'echo' his thoughts was screaming that his sheild was about to be put down whether he likes i
Reborn in another world [Tacenda]
Patriarch Ye sheepishly glanced at everyone in the room as he shrugged nonchalantly. And in return, everyone in the room looked at him with an almost broken expression. Like they could not believe that Patriarch Ye could even make that expression. Yuan Chuanli beside the Patriarch, however, could only shake his head."You know how our practice goes." The patriarch started, inkling his head towards the fight that was broadcasted on the board in front of them. "Though it's not common knowledge, you guys should know the main essence of our techniques." He said to his old friends.In response, the patriarch got some few eye rolls. "I know you Ye fellows value your uniqueness, and that is how you distinguish yourselves." A old woman crossed her arms as she address the fight. "However, do you honestly think that, 'that' is from your technique? Though I can somehow see it in the child's moves, however, that spell, it surely isn't from the Ye clan."Patriarch Ye, and Yuan Chuanli listened sil

"Ahh I'm so angry." Alberu muttered under his breath a bit too balefully, dodging another strike that went for his throat. Ignoring the ripple of the air around him that would've knocked him away if he wasn't wearing his armor. The fact that the more the fight dragged on, the more Zhōngguó seemed to get stronger made him more annoyed as time went on. And forget about speed advantage, because of Zhōngguó's, and his constant harassment of the gravitational force around Alberu, ultimately fucked his center and made him unable to move as he pleased. And now, when the masked man tried so very hard to pick back up his speed advantage, he could only match Zhi Ruo's speed.Which was useless. You know what else is useless? Alberu's attacks that was 'actually' hitting Zhi Ruo and creating damage. Because of Zhi Ruo's passive regeneration, she doesn't even have to use her healing skill to heal herself. Because the damage that Alberu could deal would just be instantly healed because of the infl

Zhi Ruo didn't want to ruin the whole thing by warning Alberu that the chains are not really harming the wraith devourers like he thought they were. He looked far too pleased by the fact that his chains were wrapped around the wraith devourers at last.Does he not notice it? Zhi Ruo thought, but upon hearing the pleased laugh that came off from Alberu's lips, Zhi Ruo summarized that of course he didn't. The girl didn't dwaddle long, she wasn't worried about the wraith devourers. Seeing that they were fine. She dashed straight back unto Alberu while his hands was occupied by the chains around the wraith devourers. In response, Alberu was late on raising his arms blocking the fist that was aiming straight at his guts. He was distracted, and forgot that he doesn't have his light armor anymore to block the majority of the burnt of the attack. With a Qi laced fist, Zhi Ruo hit Alberu with a force that she used to carry Zhōngguó.Her fist made some sounds because of the force that she exe

However, the audience could have never been more wrong. Zhōngguó may have shrunk. But it's weight and the significance of the gravitational force that the ancient weapon provided, was still very much there. As if she was teasing Alberu, Zhōngguó's weight only continued to get heavier as the ancient weapon started to loosen his control of his weight. The sheer heaviness that Zhōngguó has now, hasn't even reached half of his real weight. If the ancient weapon suddenly went back unto his real weight, then the entire arena, stands, and half of the venue— well ... it would collapse.Yu Zhúlín who was at the stands, looking at the fight after he forfeited, looked at the scene along with the people around him. His lips twitched at the scene, as he found it a little bit too familiar. He instantly recalled the resident librarian who was once under the same thing that Alberu was going through.A shiver quickly went through the poor guy's spine the moment he saw the scene in from of him.

Zhi Ruo raised a brow at Alberu upon hearing him. There was smile that quirked on her lips, but she ultimately faced the practitioner again. The audience was at lost as to what was happening but Zhi Ruo didn't care. The girl stared unblinkingly at the practitioner, the ancient weapon on top of Alberu gained momentum.And by that, even as Alberu was fighting off the influence the ancient weapon had on his body. It was futile attempt because Zhōngguó was already on top of him. It was almost impossible to get the ancient weapon off with a realm like Alberu's, who only went through one tribulation. Alberu was embarrassed and humiliated by the fact that Zhi Ruo blatantly turned around and tuned him out in the middle of the fight. However, as embarrassed as he was, he didn't admit defeat. Which was probably the only thing that Zhi Ruo wanted from him right now.Rather than admitting defeat, the masked man was gathering Qi and started to chant. Zhi Ruo heard the chanting, it was almost as if

Large amount of audience was rightfully upset about the loss. In the 'terms' of other bystanders in the audience 'the huge upset', because they were rooting for the masked man to win after they the fight between him and Yu Zhúlín. However, in reality the ratio was 50/50, and there wasn't much of a difference.But Alberu's fans were just vocal about the masked man's whole defeat, much like the contestant that they are rooting for that had a penchant for theatrics. Ravel who was unknowingly— no... who was knowingly listening through the discussions, could only roll his eyes. Of course it was the masked man's fans that would whine and squeal about the defeat of Alberu.The butler continued on with his business, and collected all the money that he won. The sore losers reluctantly handed the money, and some were even hysterically cursing at the butler, but they were just met with a sleazy smile.Yu Zhúlín who was also with the audience at the stands also got a assload of money after putti

[Surveillance] pt 2
The young women heard the middle aged woman's words, turned to look at the woman's hands who was dearly gripping the wine guard, and with a last huff she stayed silent. She looked resigned almost, as if she didn't want to argue anymore. Only the downturn of her lips were apparent in her features as she gaze blankly ahead.Seeing the silent treatment that the young women was putting on, the middle aged man's lips upturned into a smirk. The smugness was radiating off him as he straightened his back, the self assured confidence that radiated off him disgusted everyone in the room. Watching him put on a coat that was far too big for his status couldn't stop the looks of contempt that was shot on his way.As if he didn't notice the look that everyone was shooting at him. The middle aged man's eyes trailed away from the riches that the host was putting up to sell, and unto the pile of gold that was set at the corner of the room. Hi
[Surveillance]
Zhi Ruo's focus was on the host the moment the auction started, she placed her chin on the palm of her hand as she leaned on her knees looking ahead. Yuan Chuanli on the other hand, crossed his arms and leaned back on his chair, over looking the whole event with a 'ah, finally' written all over his face.Though his haughtiness was apparent on his face— well written on his facial expressions— the fact that his eyes kept in flickering on the other private rooms (much like the one that they were inside now) couldn't be kept hidden. At least, not from Zhi Ruo who was keenly aware of everything that was happening 10 meters around her."No matter how much you turn your head towards those rooms, you would never see what is inside them." Zhi Ruo spoke out, her eyes didn't leave the host who was explaining the rules of the auction per instructions. "Just keep your eyes peeled, the auction is just getting started." Her voice lightly adviced.
[Telltale]
[Qiao Liwei Auction house]Zhi Ruo gracefully accepted the outstretched hand offered by Ravel, who was dressed in his servant clothes. The only difference was, he had taken upon himself to don a white mask with no holes for the eyes nose and mouth. Stepping down from the carriage they had taken from the opulent mansion after their— quote on quote "satisfying lunch", she found Yuan Chuanli awaiting their arrival. As he had went out before her.His imposing figure stood tall, the clan's emblem prominently displayed on his back, drawing curious gazes from onlookers nearby. Both the participants of the auction and the bystanders that had nothing else to do but waut outside the auction house to try and take a good look of the rarely seem rich people.Zhi Ruo stepped beside Yuan Chuanli with a similar robe on her shoulders, adorning the Ye clan symbol of a similar fashion. She didn't mind the stares that was aimed at her, because in the first place, she didn't want to hide, nor cared to hid
[The Mansion]
With a brisk and determined pace, one that Yuan Chuanli grew to familiarize, Zhi Ruo arrived at the mansion she knew so well. Well, as much you can know from the daily reports of your butler that is. As she stepped inside, she couldn't help but notice the striking metamorphosis that had taken place. The familiar building and grounds remained, yet the ambiance and energy of the house had undergone a remarkable transformation. As Zhi Ruo led the way, Yuan Chuanli quietly followed, his initial grumbling fading away. Their path unveiled a street of lavish grandeur, unmistakably tailored for the privileged few who could afford such opulence. Yuan Chuanli couldn't help but entertain the thought that Zhi Ruo had led them astray. However, any words that formed on his lips died as his tongue was suddenly glued to the top of his mouth, he observed Zhi Ruo confidently and nonchalantly enter one of the most expansive estates.
[The Maid's Incompetence]
Yuan Chuanli stretched his hands upwards his shoulders popping in the motion, his face sported a refreshed look of satisfaction as he went out of the building with light steps. Obviously in a good mood. In the far distance, he could see Zhi Ruo's figure as she talked with her butler. He could not see Zhi Ruo's expression, but he certainly can see Ravel's.Without wasting anytime, he made his way towards the two with a look of inquiry. "The auction will start around one in the afternoon, it's still daytime and we haven't even gotten our lunch yet. What does the young miss intend to do?" Yuan Chuanli folded his hands underneath his clothes as he walked towards the duo.Upon hearing Yuan Chuanli, Ravel nodded his head. "Deciple Yuan Chuanli is right young miss, it would be advisable to eat before we attend the auction." Like a responsible servant, Ravel suggested to follow Yuan Chuanli's words. The two looked at Zhi Ruo's mask,
[Tassle]
The servant with the tassle smiled upon hearing Zhi Ruo's words, it was a tight lipped smile, as if she was saying that she knew something Zhi Ruo didn't. "It was the head that gave the order to give this to the young miss. I am to inform you that the resources that you chose and won from the tournament, along with the deed of the training ground, the plaque of the noble title, and the merit points, are inside the plaque in your hands."The servant's hands motioned for the rest of the servants in the room to line up at the sides, earning Yuan Chuanli's silent gaze. Zhi Ruo raised her brows upon hearing the servant's words, she then tied the plaque in the insides of her robe after shooting a nod towards the servant with a tassle."The head has had the heiress plaque be customize so that it can store storage now. The patriarch advices the young miss to not lose the plaque because it has now become more valuable than a mansion in the capital." The
[She's the heir]
Yuan Chuanli raised his hands and clenched on thin air as if he was clawing the clear sky above him, his face was red with unconcealed rage, and he looked close to launching himself towards Zhi Ruo. Who, even without showing the expression on her face because of her mask, still manage to annoy him to no end.Yuan Chuanli quickly realized that pretenses were useless in front of the person who is like Zhi Ruo. Because regardless of how you act in front of her her, in the end, if she is in the mood, you would be left coughing up blood in rage. Yuan Chuanli wasn't called 'boy genius ' for nothing, as he learned fast. And Yuan Chuanli learned to stop trying to control his emotions in front of Zhi Ruo, because Zhi Ruo wouldn't care if he broke his 'boy genius' façade anyways. The boy genius cannot help but feel rather offended of this somehow.But before he could do anything drastic, a woman greeted Yuan Chuanli
[Curious]
"Interesting people you say..." The owner echoed Alberu's words. The side of her lips pulled up in a quirk. A flash of uncertainty crossed her eyes looking at the representative of the Liu clan being led by her staff. 'Those guys are pretty bold to come inside without any disguises, are they not afraid of others spreading rumours? It's already bad enough that General Liu is already rumoured to have taken a bad turn in terms of his health. Now his people are coming in so brazenly. How careless, to think they even displayed their logo so proudly on their chests.' Yang Meixiang closed her fan, and tapped it gently on her palm, her thoughts were full of dissatisfaction towards the representatives of the Liu clan. Full of judgement she may have, but she could not voice these thoughts aloud.'Its also very unusual for his two concubine borne daughters to not appear in the socialite circles. In most cases, in big auctions like these, they are usually the first in line to book a private roo
[Information]
As if he doesn't know what was running through Yang Meixiang's head, Alberu turned his head and was heading straight towards the seat that was meant for the owner of the room. Which mind you, wasn't him.The owner could not help but break her expression upon seeing Alberu's audacity. It was clear to her that the masked man never put her in his eyes. But she could only open and close her mouth, knowing that she cannot afford to step on the toes of this young man. The fan on her hand fluttered quickly for a split second before Yang Meixiang chose to quietly regain her bearings. "Indeed I am busy these days..." The masked man crossed his legs as he made himself comfortable in Yang Meixiang's seat. "I hear you sell information?" He promptly changed the topic, his head tilting towards Yang Meixiang's direction. Even without seeing his eyes, Yang Meixiang knew that the young master wasn't in the mood for joking or beating around
