With the new Soul technique, it seems that Rui’s pathway into the Master Realm will be based on mastering all aspects of time. Angel of Laplace - Past SOUL - Future VOID - Brings together future and past for the present I’m probably wrong on the “Present” aspect of time, so there might be another technique Rui needs to enter the Master Realm.

Wow, that was the exact same example I was gonna give to counter her claim. That, and sleeping.

Whenever the Communist Princess is mentioned, all I can think about is Animal Farm and if Rui will reference it when eventually speaking with her.

Kain fights to do this

Wow Nick just got the perfect cover

It’s interesting that they can separate personal from business matters in such an extreme way. Clearly, both of them deeply love Rui and see him as family, but are still capable of treating him as a business partner (as they should) and a potential threat to their “mortal” lives. Sad but also realistic, as Rui pointed out.

Just wanted to clarify, Ingolsol has also stated he was the god of power in the past, right?

This realm is progressing, at least it seems, a lot faster than the squire realm. Although, I have a feeling that it will take the same amount of chapters that we’ve spent in the senior realm so far for Rui to reach the peak of the same realm. Most likely, the amount of time will increase exponentially until the climax and ultimately the transition to the master realm. Despite this, I do think that this pacing is better than the squire realm. The squire realm seemed really drawn out, although I understand that it was mainly to set a solid foundation for conflicts and future developments. Loving the novel so far. Keep up the great work!

Dang, had to absolutely dump on Verdant before the chapter ended.

Give him an UGS

Yeah I liked the original cover more than the one of the dregs. I think the ominous red-orange color fits the theme of the novel a lot more, whereas the one of the dregs made it seem like it was only an apocalyptic setting. That, or it made it seem like it was set in Brazil with all the favelas. Enjoying the novel a lot so far and I’m eager to see what Nick’s new mutation will be in the future.

I always thought that a warrior/cultivator who only used the basics would be a cool idea. They would just perfect it to a level where it trumps all. This would probably be a better concept in “true” cultivation novels with concepts/laws as a representation of power. Where, as an example, you start of with the element of fire, learn about all the different aspects of fire like heat, explosiveness, etc., then combine it back into the initial aspect of just fire. My point is, I can see aspects of that in Jorah’s fighting style. Although not as exciting, as stated in the text, is just as if not more promising than a fantastic finish.

I wonder, far in the future once Rui hits Martial Transcendsnce, if there are higher realms? By principle, there are always higher heights to be reached, especially if something is constantly evolving.

I just realized that this situation is the exact same as Shang, but Nick is taking a more altruistic approach to the issue. Now we can really see the difference in approach to the “My existence will bring death and destruction” scenario.

It’s nice knowing that Rui will have a sparring partner for the future that is on par with him. Having a rival will prove to be a great source of motivation, although it would be cool if they could get on better terms than just indifference. I’m sure that there are others that are on their level, though. It would be interesting to see what their martial paths are.

I guess this will be the looming threat that will really push Nick Nick. Compared to Shang, however, who always seemed to have a looming threat because of his existence, there is a pretty big difference in pressure.

Different “sort” I believe. I’ve noticed that you have been spelling it sought for a while, but, unless I’m looking it up wrong, sought is to seek something.
