When the giant of a monster swung at him again, Kai dodged aside from its blow. The end of each limb was basically a bludgeon, so he doubted there was anything to damage within. Instead he struck at the narrower wrist, aiming a claw between the plates of armor. He drew a little blood, but the plates stayed in place. Soon afterward the monster swung its limb to the side, churning up the soil with the enormous movement. Instead of simply dodging, Kai leapt over the attack and slammed into its chest with his…-

The dark waters ejected Kai onto the island, no matter how he tried to resist. Either he had passed his mental limits or some part of him wanted this. All of the confused forces within him must have reached a critical point that required a resolution. He stumbled through the glassy sand to the central circle. The ghostly statues of the monsters rose easier than before, responding to his presence. This time, he could feel his human strength more strongly inside himself. This place was just a representation…

Had he smashed her with a box? That was Inafay's first thought as she struggled back to consciousness. All her battle instincts were still blaring and she very nearly took a swipe at the healer who was tending her. It took several seconds for her body to catch up with the fact that Kai had defeated her. And that he'd been right. When the boxes had started exploding, she'd realized that they were filled with coins and other valuables. Most likely they had been lying to her in order to make her go along,…

Zae Zin Nim sat alone in an abandoned house, trying to ignore the sawdust falling from the ceiling with each earth-shaking step. Her only hope of finding a solution through cultivation was beginning to seem dimmer and dimmer. If she followed every guideline she had been given, it would take her over half a day to break through. This city didn't have half a day. Taking her last condensed qi pill would shave off a few hours and she would do it in an instant if that time made any difference. Her Physique had…

It seemed unbelievable that Fhazi would really fight him alone, so Kai waited suspiciously. The young noble had an entire gang of cronies with him, though they weren't enough to take him down even if they worked together. Only the Tonjin brothers had progressed meaningfully, which meant all the rest had power in the 20s or 30s. Could his confidence actually lie in his own skills? The young Lantrian noble was certainly swaggering as he crossed the deck. Kai tried to open his spiritual sight using all the…

As the last of the monsters in the north died, Zae Zin Nim wondered why she was still fighting. The fun had drained out of the combat with Kai missing and there were no longer any threats capable of climbing or damaging the wall. Since the extended fighting had drained her, both in terms of qi and mentally, she began to retreat closer to the city walls. Overhead, the flying ship continued to circle. She interpreted that as a somewhat positive sign, but if Kai had gained control, he would have used it to…

As she stepped away from the controls, Inafay rolled her shoulders like she always did before they sparred. There was no delay in summoning her skills anymore: she would be ready in an instant. The only thing keeping her from attacking was the way she was looking at him. "I don't know what you've heard," Kai said, "but it isn't-" "I heard that you had turned yourself into a monster, and that seems pretty damn clear!" She smashed her gauntlets together and took a step forward. "Don't use your spiritual…

No one on the walls cheered for Kai anymore, but he kept fighting. Given the way some stared at him, he supposed that he should be grateful they weren't actively targeting him. There had only been one ominously powerful attack that had been deflected, otherwise he was left to his battle. Which, to his surprise, seemed to be ebbing. For a time it had felt like the monsters would keep coming forever, but the horde had begun to trail off. The area where Kai and Zae Zin Nim had fought was piled with monster…

Cognosticon here. Yesterday I posted four chapters in a row, including two for everyone, as thanks for the new surge of patrons. Unfortunately, I went overboard and I'm going to miss today. I know missing a day is bad, but I figured that moving forward with not fully baked chapters is worse. If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. The chapters should continue at the normal schedule tomorrow. In the future I still hope to offer bonus chapters, but I have to be…

Could the previous Hunter Trials possibly have been only a year ago? As Rallia Orgoron stared down with the other defenders, it seemed impossible. The years started to blur together as she got older, but she remembered Kai Granfian. It had been a sad loss, when he emerged from the mana pool with a worthless Class. He was supposed to have potential, but she'd seen many times before how the world cared nothing for fairness. For her, it had been the injury that stopped her progress and ensured that she would…
