    • Chapter 88: Soul Computer (Fifth Update—Please Support with Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions!) Cover
      by Diswa Inside the underground pharmaceutical factory’s cultivation chamber. Lu Yan solemnly gazed at the Spirit Marrow Ore embedded in the ground. The translucent crystal was half-buried in the earth, with a geomantic array already fully inscribed around it, anchored by a Feng Shui artifact at the core of the formation. After half a month, the Spirit Marrow Ore had already infused most of the array—only a small portion remained untouched. As the special aura of the Spirit Marrow Ore spread across…
    • Chapter 87: Have You Taken the Shot? (Fourth Update)

      Chapter 87: Have You Taken the Shot? (Fourth Update) Cover
      by Diswa Cave 71, inside the underground pharmaceutical plant. Ever since returning from Cave 33 half a month ago, the production lines within the underground factory hadn’t stopped running for a single moment. The once-dilapidated equipment had undergone a full overhaul, funded by Shack. From top to bottom, the entire assembly system was renewed. On the automated conveyor belts, the rumbling of machinery was constant. Vials of potion were being infused with spirit stone powder, sealed, and neatly…
    • Chapter 86: Medical Insurance (Third Update)

      Chapter 86: Medical Insurance (Third Update) Cover
      by Diswa In the ruins of Arena 33, now reduced to little more than a pile of rubble… Members of the enforcement squad clad in exoskeletal armor were working to clear the debris. The strength granted by their armor allowed them to effortlessly lift boulders weighing several tons, pulling out survivors from beneath the wreckage and loading them into the waiting large-scale medical vehicles. These medical vehicles were outfitted with some of Midtown's most elite emergency teams, high-end precision medical…
    • Chapter 85: The Production Capacity of Nine-Dragon Serum (Second Update)

      Chapter 85: The Production Capacity of Nine-Dragon Serum (Second Update) Cover
      by Diswa Brilliant golden flames illuminated the entire underground tunnel. Johnson didn’t even have time to utter a sound before he was consumed by the Xuanhuang Flame of Merit. Under the scorching blaze of this divine fire, all Spirit Energy equipment, specialized alloys, and mutated augmentations were reduced to ashes. The heavily armed soldiers behind Johnson had already been mesmerized by the Confusion Technique at the first moment of confrontation. Their souls were extracted and thrown into the Soul…
    • Chapter 84: The Great Purge (First Update)

      Chapter 84: The Great Purge (First Update) Cover
      by Diswa From the wraiths’ memories, Lu Yan clearly saw what had happened. Though Scott was a powerful Spirit Energy user, his system emphasized bodily augmentation and relied more on technological applications. That made him ill-equipped to deal with incorporeal enemies like wraiths. Under their relentless assault, Scott quickly found himself overwhelmed and used his A.I. brain to lock down the battlefield and request fire support. The moment the A.I. brain executed the lock, one of the wraiths…
    • Chapter 83: Brought Back an A.I. Brain? (Fifth Update – Please Subscribe and Vote!) Cover
      by Diswa A flicker of surprise passed through Lu Yan’s eyes. The moment his personal terminal was locked, he felt that faint, nearly imperceptible trace of Spirit Energy once again seep into his body. The first time he had sensed that trace of Spirit Energy was when he initially bound the terminal. It had conducted a full-body scan. Lu Yan had been cautious even then, sealing his mana within his dantian and disguising himself as an ordinary person to deceive that trace of Spirit Energy. Later, with…
    • Chapter 82: Personal A.I. Brain (Part 4)

      Chapter 82: Personal A.I. Brain (Part 4) Cover
      by Diswa The moment Scott uttered those words, Lu Yan couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Charging Spirit Energy tax on corpses? He had to admit—the cyber version’s creativity was something else. What made it worse was that both Quentin and Shack were actually seriously pondering the tax’s legal reasoning. Shack slapped his thigh and growled through gritted teeth: “I always wondered why the corpse factories had us sign some so-called ownership agreement, claiming they were just…
    • Chapter 81: Tax Evasion by Corpses (Part 3)

      Chapter 81: Tax Evasion by Corpses (Part 3) Cover
      by Diswa Lu Yan’s expression shifted instantly, his gaze snapping toward Shack. They had just been about to exchange sensitive information when the Enforcement Division burst in. The timing felt far too convenient. But Shack, whose bloodied face was filled with confusion, clearly hadn’t seen this coming either. Sensing Lu Yan’s hostile stare, Shack shuddered and quickly began explaining: “This has absolutely nothing to do with me! Please, sir, believe me!” “This gladiator arena is the…
    • Chapter 80: Major Movements in the Upper City (Part 2)

      Chapter 80: Major Movements in the Upper City (Part 2) Cover
      by Diswa “Upper City Tech! It’s always Upper City Tech!” Shack roared internally in frustration and fear. He couldn’t comprehend the existence of Mind Control Magic. To him, Lu Yan’s mana manipulation was just a more advanced form of Spirit Energy. But that fear of the unknown only made his reverence grow stronger. Suppressing his pain with great effort, Shack reached up and reset his half-detached jaw. His towering figure bent slightly, and on his face—flattened by the crushing force—he…
    • Chapter 79: The Displaced (Part 1)

      Chapter 79: The Displaced (Part 1) Cover
      by Diswa Even before deciding to sell the Jiulong Serum, Lu Yan had already predicted that, given the chaotic state of the Cyber version’s order, once the serum appeared, it would inevitably attract attention. He had prepared multiple contingency plans for that outcome. In the Cyber version, while ordinary Spirit Energy users had a unique edge in physical body enhancement, their spiritual defenses were extremely weak. Even Spirit Energy users only possessed slightly stronger souls than the average…
