Chapter 331 - The Five Emperors' Summit
Within the Great Chu's grand court, the Emperor held his morning audience.
“Chen Shou, of the Capital Guard, for his numerous battlefield executions during the Yunzhou campaign, is hereby bestowed with the title of Marquis of Xinping.”
“General Li Kang, for his bravery and ferocity in battle, for capturing over a thousand enemy soldiers, is hereby bestowed with the title of Marquis of Quyang.”

Chapter 147 - Ace’s Debut
Samuel and Ace stood in the center of the empty arena.
It was common for challengers to appear after the scheduled matches, so most of the audience had stayed.
Demaro Black, the commentator, seemed accustomed to the situation, but he frowned at the number of challengers.
"We have a challenger! Or rather… two challengers?! Are they here to challenge Lycoris, the winner of the previous match…? Wait, is that Samuel?! What...

Chapter 57 - Sagewood Script Lectures
Raphael had finally reached a moment of peace.
He stood within a lavish chamber situated at the very peak of his new palace. Such luxury was his now, he thought as his hooves tapped softly against the plush rugs beneath and golden light glinted off the polished jade furniture.
He’d never imagined he'd own such a space, not as a bull, and surely not as that pathetic human he’d been back in the Bloodthorne Empire, a space ...

The palace had multiple balconies and a long, wide landing platform with pillars taller than even Lu Ignis. On top of each golden pillar, were a pair of golden wings and a pulsating, pale-blue crystal.
“What are those?!”
“Don’t point! Those are powerful. They’re beautiful. They’re…" Lu Jade’s awestruck exclamation didn’t need to be completed because QI Fenwei, impatient as ever decided to explain before their a...

On the battlefield, a towering figure stood amidst a sea of corpses, his body riddled with arrows, blood gushing from his wounds. Yet, he remained standing, an unyielding iron tower amidst the carnage.
The giant stood atop a mountain of bodies, a gruesome testament to the ferocity of the battle. The mountain was formed from the fallen soldiers of the Great Chu's garrison army.

"Excellent!"
Said Emperor Qi Hawk from his golden throne as he admired the Void Eye nestled snugly within the ‘Rou Lin Nest’. He extended a hand and gently stroked one of the pearly-white feathers that surrounded that potent orb. It was like greeting an old friend.
"Hm, such comforting energy… Ahaa! This feeling! It’s back, FINALLY back!” His lone white eye radiated unbridled joy. And for a moment, he reveled...

Lu Jade slithered through the skies of Ho Eastern as fast as he could. On his back was a terrifying sight - the Golden Bull Thork, battered, broken, clinging to its fading embers of life.
Raphael’s golden hide, usually gleaming with a healthy vibrance, was marred with countless wounds. His golden horns were chipped. His limbs twisted at unnatural angles, barely attached to his ravaged body.
