Chapter 30 - Experiment #4
For a split second, I contemplated leaving this guy here and running away. However, it wasn’t certain how long this Bind Array was going to hold him down.
The guy could barely move due to the Bind Array he was under. But because it was hastily formed, there was no way to tell how long he would stay under its effects. So without much thou...

After each significant stage of cultivation, the cultivator's understanding of cultivation and the world itself changed. This explains the vast differences in power among individuals at different stages, as elucidated in many books I have read.
The transition between Body Tempering and Qi Gathering constitutes a considerable bottleneck. Th...

From what I understood of this situation, this guy was supposed to come and keep an eye on me. But when I had not returned to the dorms for days, he had asked people around for me. He finally found me and was angry due to wasting time on someone he considered below him.
These people and their egos. I could see where they were coming from. ...

Ever since I had come here, there was always a thought at the back of my mind that I would meet someone unreasonable. Just like those videos on YouTube where people acted crazy. It was quite rare.
People usually restrained their basic desires, thoughts, or instincts of lashing out... Even if, for one moment, someone felt like wanting to ki...

It took days to learn how to use some more basic arrays, and I had to say, it was a lot of fun. Progress was steady since the librarian acted like a pseudo-teacher. Sure, he kept saying he wasn't showing favoritism, but as the old guy pointed out, Xin Ma said one thing and did another.
Today was like any other day, with the librarian and...

The new book on arrays opened up a new world of techniques.
Initially I had assumed Arrays were merely barriers and convenient tools in xianxia stories. That only scratched the surface of what arrays could do. Arrays were a branch of cultivation itself, akin to alchemy.
If alchemy was similar to cooking, arrays could be compared to ...

After the recent eye-opening experience while training in the rain, I deviated from my usual routine. Typically, I would push my body until it could no longer bear the strain of training, but today was different. Instead, I returned to the dorm rooms, slipping in unnoticed as no one was outside to witness my arrival.
However, my mi...

Rainy days persisted long after the first, signaling a shift in the weather for the worse. It wasn't entirely unexpected, considering it was autumn, and seasonal changes were a norm even here. Yet, despite the downpour, some constants remained, like the old goat's unwavering gaze as I attempted to read.

The library was fuller than usual, likely due to people having nothing much to do in the rain. But that allowed me to blend into the crowd easier, and I found my own desolate corner and a small desk I quickly occupied.

Betrayal, in my mind, could only come from those close to you. As paranoid as I was, I half-expected it. Someone might even say it was all according to Keikaku.
But who was I kidding? I didn't have enough friends in this world for an unexpected betrayal to be possible. It was a sad thing if someone were to look at it from the outside, bu...

I gazed up at the familiar stone ceiling, coldness seeping into my back as I lay on the stone floor. It was a strange sensation, the stones colder than one would expect ordinary rocks to be.
