by karlmaks — Mystery, despair, pain, and decay — the world is losing its way, and I no longer know where I should go. Arriving in a world on the brink of ruin, filled with danger and devoid of hope, I can only rely on the mysterious blood mark on my body, continuously deducing and evolving various skills, in an attempt to carve out a path of survival amidst despair.

Chapter 1: Awakening

by karlmaks — Dark night, the surroundings were like ink. A tiny orange flame, the size of a bean, quietly burned in the darkness. It seemed to be the world's only light. The flame flickered and swayed, so fragile that a single breath could extinguish it. In the weak light it cast, a young man with a pale face and bloodshot eyes sat quietly on one side. The man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with ordinary, unremarkable features. He was lightly biting his lower lip; the color of his lips was very…

Chapter 12: Low Point II

by karlmaks — “A Jiang, I know you and the Fourth Brother are close, but the situation is different now. We absolutely cannot be perceived as having colluded with the Fourth Brother's actions, or the trouble will be enormous!” Lin Chaoyi earnestly admonished him. “It's a good thing Father gave the Fourth Brother's quota to Hongyu back then, otherwise the quota would definitely be null and void now. That honest boy from the Fourth Brother's family, with his poor aptitude, wouldn't have amounted to anything even…

Chapter 6: Joining II

by karlmaks — Clear Wind Taoist Temple interior. On the training ground behind the main hall. Rows of teenagers dressed in gray short martial attire stood in neat formation, holding short branches, waiting for the Taoist priest in front to impart martial arts. “I am Mingxiu, and I am the Taoist priest specifically responsible for teaching you the fundamental sword style.” The Taoist priest had a handsome, jade-like face and a burly physique, giving him the strange, contrasting appearance of a scholar's head…

Chapter 32: Change II

by karlmaks — Sixth-Rank Body Tempering. Lin Hui's mind settled, his concentration reaching a peak as he continuously dodged the Faceless Man's lunges and claw strikes. At this moment, the advantages of the Clear Wind Taoist Temple's movement speed were fully displayed. Having tempered his body with the Seven-Section Quick Sword, his movement speed was significantly higher than that of the Faceless Man, allowing him to dodge the creature's lethal attacks with ease. "The Harmless grade is perfect for you to…

Chapter 11: Low Point I

by karlmaks — “Xie Li greets Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Chen.” Xie Li was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her words and actions were quite precocious. She skillfully clasped her hands in a salute to the two of them. The two clasped their hands in return. Xie Li smiled and continued. “The Clear Wind Sword Style is a huge step up in practical combat compared to the Nine-Section Quick Sword, and its complexity is far beyond what the former can match. Once executed, both one’s own speed…

Chapter 43: Combat I

by karlmaks — Not long after, as time passed. Lin Hui heard the sounds returning from the mist ahead gradually diminish, and the roars of the barbarians disappeared. He exhaled gently. 'Impressive... They easily dealt with three mutated four-armed barbarians.' Lightly jumping down from the tree branch, he turned and walked further away. 'Since they can handle pressure so well...' 'Then let them handle it a few more times...' Swish. Without a sound, his figure vanished into the mist. Even for him…

Chapter 22: Patrol IV

by karlmaks — This was not idle time-wasting. Instead, in the instant his finger was about to snap, Lin Hui immediately activated the Light Body special effect, and then, immediately after the snap, he instantly deactivated it. This was his practice and testing. Since Light Body consumed a significant amount of physical energy, why not cut it up into many instantaneous small skills? It was enough to use it only in the instant it was needed, making it effective at the critical moment. This was Lin Hui's idea. He…

Chapter 54: Exploration II

by karlmaks — "Grandpa, looking at background alone, our family has Summoners too. What's so amazing about that?" The young man in blue frowned unconvinced. "Summoners are different from Summoners. Low, medium, high—the gap between each level is immense. Even among High-tier Summoners, Yu Ying is in the tier of extremely strong power. Plus, her father is an Elder of the Shayue Sect, her mother comes from a major clan in the Inner City, and she herself is cruel by nature. Among the Three Sects and Six Gangs, she has…

Chapter 33: Change of Heart I

by karlmaks — A few days later, in the Mist Zone. In the murky gray mist, a tall, sturdy man with a ponytail, dressed in a dirty white martial arts uniform, walked into the small hut's courtyard. He looked exhausted as he dragged an object that resembled a black tree branch. Thud. He tossed the object onto the ground and sniffed the air; the faint aroma of eggs fried in lard drifted through the air. With a squeak, the wooden door slowly opened. Daoist Mingde walked out unhurriedly holding a bowl, eating a…
