Description:

Every human has their Personal Jewel of power, when awakened it can either be an Elemental Jewel or Physical Jewel. They circle the right and left wrists like bracelets of power. Heavenly Jewels are like the twins born, meaning when both Elemental and Physical Jewels are Awakened for the same person, the pair is known as Heavenly Jewels.

Those who have the Physical Jewels are known as Physical Jewel Masters, those with Elemental Jewels are Elemental Jewel Masters, and those who train with Heavenly Jewels are naturally called Heavenly Jewel Masters.

Heavenly Jewel Masters have a highest level of 12 pairs of jewels, as such their training progress is known as Heavenly Jewels 12 Changes.

Our MC here is an archer who has such a pair of Heavenly Jewels.

Okay this is another interesting one. By the same author as Doulou Dalu.
This has one of those scoundrel mcs. And has quite a thick 'Plot armor

Spoiler for Plot Armor:

(black pearl that suddenly entered in to mcs mouth after dropping down from a space crack that suddenly open just when he was gravely injured)

I only read upto the recent translated chapter but

Spoiler for FAQ:

1. Op? No for now. But has some op aspects thanks to the black pearl and his particular set of jewels.
2. Harem? Yes. Apparently one of those rare TJS stories with a harem. Whether or not it's a true harem, idk yet.. The MC has eyes for only one girl. And he even Hates the others who might have been able to join if he ever creates a harem. Tang Jia's other works, except for Mad God/Kuang Shen/Fury, none are True Harems, and few normal harems. And that series is one of his earliest and arguably his worst work. The translator in his/her blog stated this work is one of his latest works.

Spoiler for About the Girls (Biased :eyespin: ) [B](MAJOR SPOILERS)[/B] :

1. Battalion Commander : Main heroine. Already did the horizontal Tango with MC when he was opening his meridians and had his first jewels. It was rape but she knows the MC didn't do it on purpose. An understanding girl who even helps the MC after he did 'that' to her in the MCs path to cultivation. Heavenly Jewel Master.

2.Princess : MCs Fiance. But he has no good feelings about her. Their marriage was decided by their parents. The princess once almost killed the MC because he saw her back when she was bathing in a lake. She even tried to cover up the whole incident at first thinking the MC died and if her father found out he would punish her. The MC already asked his dad to null their engagement. Elemental Jewel Master.

3.Handsome Arrogant Captain: Actually a girl dressed as a boy cause she thinks the military is a place for Males. Jealous of Main heroine because she stole her position as the Battalion Commander. Childhood friends with the MC. Not a Jewel Master.

Are we reading the same translations? I feel like this could easily go the harem route or pseudo-harem route (I mean after a fair amount of plot passes and things get moving more). This has basically just started lol. Either way, if it did go that route (or rather have multiple girls in awe of him) then I think it most certainly wouldn't be trashy, and would instead be fun to read. (Given our MC, I feel like it'd probably be handled pretty well...)

If you recall chapter 1... our MC's very first paragraph of speech was essentially the opposite of what you wrote above to describe his personality lol.

I swear to god people. This is the first time ever where I read the first thing a character had to say in a story in chapter one and then spent a long time laughing because of how absurdly funny/cheeky it was.

Here:

Spoiler for MC's first few lines of monologue rant in chapter 1:

“To be a playboy is to train the mind, to have an affair is to train the heart, chasing after girls will prevent old age, flirting is therapeutic, having a crush on someone means your heart will always be young, being lovesick is the cure for insomnia!..."

This is literally the first thing he has said or thought in this entire series.

So yeah... I feel like what you said is a bit biased...

Anyway, back to the topic of the novel.

This is written very well. It's one of my favorites so far. The quality is so far better than Shen Yin Wang Zuo (at least from my perspective if we're looking at the storyline this many chapters in, in each respective series) and I really like SYWZ.

This author is just really good. He wrote Douluo Dalu, and SYWZ, and other good stuff. This one seems to be interesting and rather different from other stuff he has written. The powers, action, and plot all seem very nice. The world building also seems to be quite solid.

I strongly recommend this. It's fantastic. Also, be warned, the MC is a troll (in a good way).

[dragon1412]

considering the author is Tang Jia San Shao, as much as i like God seal throne, i rather hate Douluo Dalu and it's sequel, the author is notorious in my list for deus ex machina, plot device skill and Game breaking luck. And in his stories, generally Main heroine personality is empty as air. Though he has good writing skill and could make good plotline.

Princess : MCs Fiance. But he has no good feelings about her. Their marriage was decided by their parents. The princess once almost killed the MC because he saw her back when she was bathing in a lake. She even tried to cover up the whole incident at first thinking the MC died and if her father found out he would punish her. The MC already asked his dad to null their engagement. Elemental Jewel Master.

Ok WTF is this what these chineses have against bathing in lakes anyway it looks like if they want a MC to be hated by a woman he just must see her bathing well the only good thing is he said to her to `fuck this bich` but still why cant the autor write something new.

Well can anyone spoil for me how things end with this princess... please tell me she didn`t fall in love with him because that would be retard you can`t have good feeling for someone you try to kill for such shit reason.

there exists worse

for example chaotic sword had the same oh no see someone bathing outside-> has to be killed or

shen mu: gets abused for accidently seeing someone bathing (and oh god that problem coming with it drags on like an eternity)

serei tsukai at the beginning the same happened etc etc etc
enough stories where this happens (chinese/japanese stories but european/american ones as well e.g. eragon dragonrider)

ah but anyway conversations in the story are rather fun so definitly worth a shot (and dont get annoyed at the princess we wont see her for at least during vol 1-2 around1% story maybe xD)

It's not clear at all if she's a love interest. The only reason why the OP says this is because after she did this to him and he managed to survive, he said that he'd get her back and eventually become so great that she'd come back to him crawling and beginning, and that he'd then reject her anyway. (This makes it seem perfectly fine TBH).

Spoiler for about her:

Also, her personality sucks. She is basically the only true b*tch character that I have seen so far in this story, and she may get eventual character development, so I guess we will have to see. (And to be fair, the MC was peeking on her on purpose, so he did sort of deserve it... even if he didn't know that it was her bathing there.) She just went out of line when she attacked him after he provoked her. That was just going way too far.

This isn't shitty quality. The fact of the matter is. He was a good for nothing weak character at the time this happened. They had an arranged marriage. Obviously, this is just like any of those other Xianxia works where the female jerk comes by to make the male MC drop his engagement to her because he isn't worthy of her. (This time it's nice because she's the only one who thinks so... her father totally doesn't agree... at all!) Things change quickly though after the MC stops being useless (power-wise). (The MC has always been very smart and rather self-sufficient so he was never actually useless... he was just useless in other people's opinions.)

But anyway, it's a good work. Read it.

This i reject her later sonds like a 14 year old being reject by a school crush lol. It would be much better for him to just get revenge by destroying her kingdom and her status that would give him a nice goal and a big enemy to take down and even became the new king of that place...

Or just criple her power and break her legs why can`t males kill females in these novels after all people die in these novels for nothing.

[jmcu17]

If someone meant nothing to you, you do not go on a bloody rampage cause they rejected you. You live well and ignore them. Like the MC.

Destroy her kingdom? Cripple her legs?

Then hasn't this become a case of 打者爱也, 爱者, 打多?

Did you read what I wrote?
I wrote No For Now.
I mean, I just read the tl'ed chaps and only that.
Agree with you about everything else other than the Harem part.
Btw I already mentioned I will be doing a Biased Description

[dragon1412]

as far as i know Tang Jia San Shao doesn't write harem series/

[Yoburi]

So how does this world power work how do you get these Jewels and does this also have ranks of power like in DD?

Only one. Kuang Shen/Mad God/Fury
whatever it's called.
One of the worst cn web novels i have read. The initial start was good.

Spoiler for s:

But then the mc started raping the main heroine because someone insulted him (he already had a girlfriend).
His girlfriend had no real plot developement at all.
Rather he just thought she was cute and childish so he nomed her.
The elder sister of the girlfriend also somehow entered the harem.
THere was a slave beast girl or something too, i stopped reading.

I need to change the description.

Spoiler for about harem:

Yes. yes it is *depressed*

Yeah, I know lol. I just didn't want it to sound too romancey because this stood out to me because this was quite different from every other work by this author that I had seen. (Also, the other harem work of his that I read, I just couldn't get into at all... I'm not sure if was the translation, the plot, or both... ) So yeah... I'm excited for this.

Are you sure it is though... just because the tags on baka updates say so doesn't mean squat. For example, I've seen series branded harem on that site which a little while later were not considered harem... like with ISSTH lol.

Yeah... so unless you spoiled stuff for yourself, I doubt it's a harem. He's probably just going to be close to lots of girls (as friends) which is still distinctly different. Lazy readers like to call both things harems though.

Either way I'm hype. Can't wait for the next translated chapter.

Spoiler for s:

one of my mates read all the chapters. she told me he has 6 girls in his harem. whether or not it's a true harem, she aint telling me. just told me to keep on reading knowing that i hate harems. well, i'm pretty sure this should be a harem now.

[elroid]

Pretty sure Bing Huo Mo Chu is another true harem the author wrote. The MC there has like 8 wifes iirc

[Yunyuki]

i am not the only one hoping that he will troll that "elder sis xiao se" in the upcoming chapters ?

[Roger Smith]

I have read ahead using some MTL. He does end up with a Harem and we already know his first woman. The Princess does not join the Harem and neither does the big Sis (even though she likes him).

The series progresses like a lot of other series:
1. school arc
2. Evil Empire
3. Get Stronger to fight back

He is an interesting character because he is an unabashed perv. When it was discovered he had blocked meridians and could not become a practitioner his dad sent him to train with a real pervy master (maybe like Naruto). He trained under the guy for years from when he was young so it is a deeply ingrained part of his character (hence why he tried to peek on the Princess bathing)/

Sorry that another story got turned into a harem. I'd be pretty pissed if every story I picked up suddenly went against my preferred genre too.

Thanks for introducing me to this though.

[Gilgamesh113]

I think the black tiger bead/soul was the cthulu tiger from douluo. It had space, darkness, time and evil properties.

[obnuchious]

just to be clear... MC has 5 jewels on him?

2 family jewels, 2 wrist jewels and 1 swallowed jewel?
