An incredibly average story at best. Pros: -Stable Updates -Decent translation quality -System has a few unique ideas to it (This system doesn't shove information into the MC's head, it merely provides an independant space for MC to learn with trial and error. Bit OP in some aspects but not unbelievably so) Can live with: -MC can feel insufferably humble. (Never takes full ownership of his achievements) -Military superiors can get annoyingly fawning over MC, which feeds above point -How the system gathers points becomes inconsistent as the story progresses. -Story is pretty white bread. (Have problem, solve problem, receive praise, get new problem, repeat. Problems just get incremently larger) -Despite alternate Earth, seriously pro-China. (Full of Comrade this, and "all I do is for China") Cons: -World building is wonky. (Otherworldy Spirit energy/cultivation crashed into earth and found weapons, must use these to cultivate properly. China is split into Nine Provinces, compete in technology and leveled power and even discriminate against each other despite barely surviving an on-going war against other-worldly invaders) -Most Characters are just a set of generic personality traits What made me drop: The author of this novel seems to have completely forgotten his timeline. By all accounts at the begining of the story, the MC is implied to be a fairly young man as he is finishing his Academy life; so you can assume he is around 20-22. After his time in the academy he joins a research unit, and is given the goal of making 3 tech breakthroughs in a year to attend a nation wide competition. So at the competion he should be around 23 at most. After the competition, he undergoes a project to create a life-extension drug. It is implied he spent at most 2 years on it. He is now max 25 years old. It is stated that the drug should only work correctly on people older than 30, and will rejuvenate about 10 to 20 years based on current age and body condition. MC is elegible for the Medicine. WTF. He is even later described as a middle-aged man, despite being called a young up-and-coming smith earlier in the story, which if the timeline is to be believed has only progressed around 3-4 years at max. He should be around 25 years. What really broke the back was MC took time off after project completion to vacation. He goes to Shanghai University, where it is implied he is visiting his sister as a few paragraphs earlier states she is studying there. He arrives at the Uni and it turns out he is meeting a girlfriend who I cannot recall at all who is apparently his Girlfriend. WTAF. That just killed all motivation for me to continue if the Author seems to have a Schizophrenic episode and forgets all his key story points
Non-existent, that's the point. Until he gets the full picture about the power structures of the Sky Empire and the religious org's and Xuan Hao breaks into Soul Ascension, the less the Sky Empire knows about the sect the less likely they will try to crush and prevent a variable from rising
Unfortunately, this is another bait and switch of translation quality. I'm starting to see a pattern of stories with decent free chapter translation that are app exclusive paid chapters are just MTL pasted. They don't even bother giving a brief spell check or minor edit. So another somewhat interesting premise that is wasted by sheer laziness and greed. And this is my copy-paste review for these books because they don't deserve any effort from me.
nice hidden egg for Ron. Rupert Grint did in fact buy an ice cream truck after finishing all the films
Think of auras like level 2 dao has 7 aura points and level three only has 6 points. that's means the lvl 3 feels like the enemy has a 100% greater advantage over you. But you at lvl three have such self-confidence you add 1 or 2 points to your own aura, you can ignore the enemy's aura and even put pressure of your own on him. Now the the only issue you have to deal with is the energy and comprehension difference.
An aura is just that. It's a psychological pressure built up by your level. They are all so used to the idea that their aura can suppress a lower level enemy they forget that if you simply ignore it or manifest your own unique aura, this pressure is meaningless to a genius. then the difference between power levels shrinks until better comprehension bridges the gap. that's why killing intent auras are considered the strongest as it strikes the fear of death in the enemy and makes them subconciously feel that they are weaker and thus they cannot show their true strength.
What always confuses me is how often these high-ranked officials are out of touch. "Oh, a weak king who has abandoned his people and somehow knows nearly the exact location of the enemy base after escaping an enemy many times stronger with just an artifact. There's no way he could be in cahoots with an enemy faction on the literal edge of our territory." It's on Skyrim bandit levels of disregard to danger: "Must have been the wind."

I hope to see some interesting directions for Chu Yang's lack of directions. So often have I seen no directional sense as a quirk/flaw in a character that can have funny yet interesting plots yet in the end do nothing to further it and is quickly left behind as soon as the character can fly/ use divine sense. Like in a mystic realm that has an illusion maze, everyone is purposefully trying to break through and fail yet Chu Yang stumbles past all the traps or similar
I hope she does well, but doesn't win. She can be talented but her talent shouldn't guarantee a win, and this result should give her drive to improve. She just doesn't have the experience to deserve beating the other contenders. We can still have the 'master face-off' after it, when she displays her talent but lack of experience.
