Chapter Summaries

Chu Fei investigated the Spirit Tree, learned how the little creature had protected and cultivated it, and uncovered the truth about Cao Liwen's past. He drank from the energy-rich spring water and began secluded cultivation, leaving the story with his attempt to upgrade his Thought Model and construct Euclidean Space logic.

• Chu Fei traded five packets of compressed biscuits for a Spirit Fruit and examined the Spirit Tree and its fruits.
• Chu Fei learned from the little creature that it had pollinated the tree, that three people had tried to take its fruit, and that one person had escaped with three fruits.
• Chu Fei deduced that Cao Liwen had taken three fruits, given one to Liu Tingyun, and failed to break through after eating the other two.
• Chu Fei discovered that the stalactite droplets contained abundant active energy, drank one, and felt his fatigue disappear.
• Chu Fei prepared for secluded cultivation and began working to increase his Thought Model's Computational Units from three to four and construct Euclidean Space logic.

Chu Fei used intensive thought training and a Spirit Fruit to construct his fourth Advanced Computational Unit, greatly boosting his Thought Model’s score. He then prepared to add Euclidean Space logic and asked for a twenty-year Spirit Fruit.

• Chu Fei began frenzied thought training to deduce a fourth Advanced Computational Unit, drawing on his inherited knowledge and using six parallel calculation threads.
• After twenty-seven hours and eighty-three Wisdom Dewdrops, Chu Fei found that his Supernatural Potions and Psionic Potions had run out just as the deduction neared completion.
• Chu Fei swallowed a three-year Spirit Fruit whole, and its gentle energy increased his thought training speed by thirty percent.
• Chu Fei completed the fourth unit’s deduction, constructed it in two hours, and measured a Thought Model benchmark score of 54,776 points.
• Chu Fei turned to modeling Euclidean Space logic and asked the little fellow for a twenty-year Spirit Fruit.

After eating a 20-year Spirit Fruit, Chu Fei underwent a major physical and cognitive breakthrough, transforming his Thought Model and greatly increasing his strength. He used another Spirit Fruit to further refine his body, then discovered an aura circulating across his skin and wondered if he had become a Martial Dao master.

• Chu Fei absorbed the 20-year Spirit Fruit’s Life Energy, cleansing and strengthening his body while pushing his thought speed into a Transcending Limits state.
• Chu Fei used his enhanced cognition to study and review his knowledge, rapidly deducing and iterating a new Thought Model.
• Chu Fei awoke to find his active energy had risen to around 200 cal and his physical capacity, recovery, and burst power had greatly increased.
• Chu Fei’s new Thought Model fused its four Advanced Computational Units into a higher-level structure with a super thread, four primary threads, and eight Virtual Threads.
• Chu Fei ate another 20-year Spirit Fruit, embedded new logic into his Thought Model, and used the remaining energy to refine his body with the Tai Chi Quan Energy Model.
• Chu Fei opened tiny energy channels in his skin and saw a circulating radiance, which he suspected was the Protective Aura of a Martial Dao master.

Chu Fei completed his breakthrough, tested his strength, and scored over 80,000 points, setting a goal of reaching 100,000 before becoming Awakened. After naming and leaving supplies with Chu Lei, he headed toward distant sounds of battle, wary of trouble involving Yuan Mingyuan.

• Chu Fei used his energy to break a stalagmite and shatter a basalt fragment with one punch, then concluded that cultivation strengthened Life Energy and could produce Protective Aura and armor.
• Chu Fei scored a peak of 82,115 points with his new Thought Model and set a goal of reaching 100,000 before becoming Awakened.
• Chu Fei felt his spirit transform and reviewed his abilities, but decided he had to leave because little time remained and he feared the city lord's faction might target Yuan Mingyuan.
• Chu Fei named the little fellow Chu Lei, left it food, potions, a smart wristband, and stored knowledge, and promised to return before the countdown ended.
• Chu Fei heard faint shouts and battle sounds from about twenty-five to twenty-seven kilometers away and set out to investigate.

Chu Fei followed the sounds of battle and discovered that the Dimensional Space’s combatants were slaughtering one another, with several Semi-Awakened having become Awakened inside. He identified a powerful whip-wielding woman on the victorious side as his target and prepared to attack her.

• Chu Fei recognized the voices of Huang Shaoyong, Zhang Haoyu, and other familiar fighters, then realized that some people had broken through to become Awakened inside the Dimensional Space.
• Chu Fei found corpses from both sides and inferred that Flying Tiger City’s forces were trying to eliminate anyone who might expose their actions.
• Chu Fei reached the battlefield and saw both sides fighting brutally at close range, with no chance for the wounded to recover or drink potions.
• Chu Fei spotted several newly Awakened fighters and watched a cold-faced woman use her whip to help a teammate gain the advantage.
• Chu Fei decided the whip-wielding woman was his target because she used a whip too.

Chu Fei joined the battle after watching Yuan Mingyuan’s group weaken, using a distraction to get close to his real target, Lyu Qinghua. Their brief whip duel left Chu Fei’s left hand mangled and Lyu Qinghua’s shoulder pierced, and they introduced themselves before facing off again.

• Chu Fei watched Yuan Mingyuan’s group fight, gathered a longsaber and Psionic Potions, and approached the battlefield as their final frenzy faded.
• Chu Fei tricked Zhang Haoyu into suspecting Huang Shaoyong by shouting about secret plans, and Zhang Haoyu’s men killed Huang Shaoyong as Chu Fei charged in.
• Chu Fei used a mountain rock to change direction and sprinted toward the woman holding the rear, his true target.
• Chu Fei and the woman exchanged whip attacks; Chu Fei caught her whip with a Magic Artifact and pierced her left shoulder, while her attack mangled his left hand.
• Chu Fei gave his name, and the woman introduced herself as Lyu Qinghua.

Chu Fei faced Lyu Qinghua, an Awakened who had spent five years cultivating in Dimensional Space to ambush his side, and rejected her offer to join the Lyu Family. Their duel escalated into a brutal close-range exchange, where Chu Fei used his strength and ultrasonic fist technique to injure her.

• Lyu Qinghua revealed that she was an Awakened and transformed by manifesting cicada-like wings that made her movements difficult to predict.
• Lyu Qinghua offered Chu Fei wealth, cybernetic equipment, and a marriage into the Lyu Family, but Chu Fei refused and declared he wanted to kill her.
• Chu Fei tangled Lyu Qinghua's whip with his own, closed the distance, and blocked her saber with a metal shield before stabbing through her armor with his extended arm.
• Lyu Qinghua switched to daggers, but Chu Fei formed Iron Fists and forced her into close-range combat, where his attacks overwhelmed her defenses.
• Chu Fei and Lyu Qinghua traded punches and chest strikes; Chu Fei spat blood from broken ribs, while Lyu Qinghua froze after his punch struck her with ultrasonic vibrations.

Chu Fei crippled Lyu Qinghua but failed to kill her, and Zhang Haoyu offered a reward for his death as their forces surrounded him. After replenishing his energy with Psionic Potions, Chu Fei cut through the attackers and threatened the retreating Lyu Qinghua, giving her ten seconds to run.

• Chu Fei and Lyu Qinghua traded devastating blows, leaving Chu Fei injured and Lyu Qinghua badly wounded but alive.
• Lyu Qinghua ordered her people to kill Chu Fei, and Zhang Haoyu promised thirty million for his death and one million for injuring him.

• Chu Fei split incoming crossbow bolts with his blade and told Lyu Qinghua she had ten seconds to run.

Chu Fei forced Lyu Qinghua and Zhang Haoyu’s much larger group to retreat by accepting a deal that protected Yuan Mingyuan’s people. After gathering supplies, he left alone to rest by continuing onward, while Yuan Mingyuan prepared to search for the real Spring of Life.

• Chu Fei drove back the surrounding fighters, and Zhang Haoyu recognized that Chu Fei’s speed made him nearly impossible to stop.
• Lyu Qinghua threatened Yuan Mingyuan’s group to force Chu Fei into a deal, and Chu Fei agreed after demanding supplies, his tangled whips, and the attackers’ retreat.
• Chu Fei asked Yuan Mingyuan for his lost backpack, gathered Psionic Potions and food, and arranged for someone else to untangle and wash his whips.
• Chu Fei said he would rest by leaving the group and walked away with weapons and a heavy pack.
• Yuan Mingyuan ordered her people to collect battlefield supplies and head for the real Spring of Life, then watched the direction Chu Fei had gone.

Chu Fei left Yuan Mingyuan's group, said goodbye to Chu Lei, and reflected on how his battle with Lyu Qinghua had revealed the role of Data Overwrite in Awakened strength. With new confidence and preparations, he returned to face Demonic Spirit Gucci, who flew down to attack him.

• Chu Fei left Yuan Mingyuan and the others, then returned to the underground cavern after making sure no one followed him.
• Chu Fei fed Chu Lei, picked two twenty-year-old Spirit Fruits, and left the little companion behind with a bracelet containing a C14 nuclear battery.
• As he traveled back, Chu Fei reflected on his near-victory over Lyu Qinghua and concluded that Awakened used Data Overwrite to surpass the limits of the human body.
• Chu Fei returned to the jagged peaks and called out to Guchi, drawing the attention of the Demonic Spirits nearby.
• Guchi appeared flying above a mountain peak, and Chu Fei drew his long blade as Guchi leaped down toward him with light gathering around its Magic Staff.

Chu Fei fought Demonic Spirit Guchi again, using a newly developed body-surface energy to withstand magic before overpowering him in close combat. Guchi was poisoned by Chu Fei’s whip and began to lose control of his body.

• Chu Fei dodged Guchi’s fireballs, then walked through a sea of flames protected by energy covering his body.
• Chu Fei challenged Guchi to fight at close range after demonstrating that low-level magic could not harm him.
• Guchi dived at Chu Fei, but Chu Fei deflected his blows and broke his Magic Staff after hundreds of clashes.
• Guchi tried to flee into the air, and Chu Fei struck his chest with a toxin-coated whip.
• Guchi became dizzy and numb from the poison as Chu Fei said he had only wanted to fulfill a thousand-year-old research objective.

Chu Fei explored the ruined research hut, killed Demonic Spirit Guchi, and triggered an old inheritance system. After refusing a dangerous experiment, he received a collection of ancient college entrance exam simulations that could help with his advancement to Awakened.

• Chu Fei found that Demonic Spirit Guchi had destroyed the research hut and desecrated Gu Yun's remains, then forced Guchi to kowtow before extracting seven Bio-Gene Chips from its body.
• Chu Fei injected Guchi with poison and destroyed its vital organs to ensure the thousand-year-old Demonic Spirit was dead.
• Chu Fei activated a toolbox and connected to Magic Research Group 212, where he was offered the choice to complete an experiment under threat of being trapped or terminate it.
• Chu Fei chose to terminate the experiment and returned all seven samples to their original locations.
• Chu Fei received a transmission of ancient college entrance exam simulations and realized they contained valuable guidance for advancing from Semi-Awakened to Awakened.

Chu Fei killed Zhao Yuanhao and the other captives, destroyed the Spirit Mother Tree, and claimed its Energy Crystal and stockpile of Spring of Life and Spirit Fruits. After finding his cavern ransacked, he tracked the likely culprits to the passage entrance and confronted the Lyu Family, declaring that only one of its four members would live.

• Chu Fei found Zhao Yuanhao and six members of the Dawn City Youth Group bound to the Spirit Mother Tree, then killed them after Zhao revealed that his wristband had emitted a brainwave pulse before his fall.
• Chu Fei cut down the Spirit Mother Tree, took its Energy Crystal, and discovered its hidden cache of 1,233 bottles of Spring of Life and twelve mature Spirit Fruits.
• Unable to carry the treasures away safely, Chu Fei decided to give them to Chu Lei, then returned to his cavern and found it ransacked and its Spirit Tree destroyed.
• Chu Fei suspected someone had tracked him with Tracking Incense, gathered supplies and treasure, and headed to the passage entrance, where he scouted the terrain and waited for the other groups to arrive.
• With twelve hours left before the passage opened, Chu Fei confronted the four members of the Lyu Family and said only one of them would survive.

Chu Fei killed Lyu Family fighters at the Dimensional Space exit and fought three newly Awakened attackers, learning how Data-driven Combat used simulated data to enhance attacks. After defeating them, he studied a basic simulation method and resolved to use it against weaker opponents.

• Chu Fei killed a charging Lyu Family elite and warned the Flying Tiger Team Reserve not to interfere in his private dispute with the Lyu Family.
• After a Flying Tiger Team youth told the remaining Lyu Family members to run, Chu Fei pursued and killed two of them while the last escaped.
• While studying the College Entrance Exam Simulation, Chu Fei was attacked by three newly Awakened fighters and killed two, recognizing that one had used a Normal Distribution-based Data Overwrite attack.
• Chu Fei analyzed how the attacker had simulated Data-driven Combat and concluded that simulated techniques could overpower weaker opponents.
• Chu Fei quickly learned a basic simulation method as more Lyu Family members and their associates rushed toward him.

Chu Fei used Data-driven Combat to slaughter the Lyu Family attackers, then assessed how the technique strained his body. He faced the survivors and declared that only one of them would be allowed to live.

• Chu Fei warned the charging Lyu Family members to stay out of his fight, but they fired two coordinated volleys of crossbow bolts at him.
• Chu Fei wrapped an Assault Jacket around the bolts, then killed several attackers with his saber and a punch as he cut through their formation.
• The Lyu Family youths panicked and retreated after Chu Fei killed a third of their forces in the Dimensional Space.
• Chu Fei drank Spring of Life and analyzed how Data-driven Combat let his Thought Model overclock his body while causing escalating muscle and bone damage.
• Chu Fei pointed his saber at the remaining Lyu Family youths and declared that only one of them could survive.

Chu Fei exposed the Lyu Family’s past betrayal, accused them of stealing Dawn Academy’s Spirit Fruits and a mutated beast cub, and killed several of their youths while waiting for their elites to return. When Lyu Qinghua arrived with four Awakened, Chu Fei lured them into a fight and quickly killed two before facing her.

• Chu Fei showed the crowd footage of Lyu Qinghua threatening him with other people’s lives, then claimed the Lyu Family had stolen Dawn Academy’s Spirit Fruits and a mutated beast cub and cut down the Spirit Tree.
• Chu Fei threatened the Lyu Family and killed several members when they refused to surrender the items, while the survivors fled.
• Chu Fei returned to the entrance, drank Spring of Life, trained his simulated combat, and sensed Lyu Qinghua approaching with four others.
• Chu Fei charged at one of the arriving Awakened, used a whip to burst a bag of lime powder, and struck another Awakened hard enough to break both their sabers.
• Chu Fei used the whip to pull the blinded Awakened close, disarmed and killed him, then waited as Lyu Qinghua cautiously approached.

Chu Fei fought the Lyu Family over the Spirit Fruits, killing more of its Awakened while the Flying Tiger Team and other factions were drawn into the conflict. After Wei Ziqiang ordered his team to attack, a chaotic battle erupted, and Chu Fei still had not found Chu Lei.

• Chu Fei attacked Lyu Qinghua, but she retreated with two Lyu Family elites and appealed to the Flying Tiger Team for help.
• Lyu Qinghua claimed the Spirit Fruits could benefit the city lord, prompting Wei Ziqiang to order Chu Fei to stop or be killed.

• Chu Fei used his whip to kill another Lyu Family youth after wearing down his opponents, leaving Lyu Qinghua terrified and furious.
• Lyu Qinghua offered the Spirit Fruits in her backpack to the city lord, and Wei Ziqiang attacked Huang Yuntao when he refused to stand aside.
• Chu Fei drank potions as the factions clashed, and a chaotic melee spread as more fighters arrived and some began looting the injured.

Chu Fei fought the Flying Tiger Team and the city lord’s faction while Lyu Qinghua retreated with the Spirit Fruit. When an exhausted Awakened arrived and attacked, Chu Fei took a blade through the abdomen, stabbed his opponent, and turned to face Lyu Qinghua’s sudden strike.

• Chu Fei killed several Flying Tiger Team youths, including Wei Ziqiang, and ordered Huang Yuntao to support the Dawnbreak Team while he held the line.

• Chu Fei and the attacker stabbed each other, and Chu Fei kicked him away before turning as Lyu Qinghua attacked from behind.

Chu Fei outmaneuvered Lyu Qinghua, defeated Zhang Haoyuan, and forced him to pay fifty million for Spring of Life before the factions reached a tense standoff. When Zhang Liyu challenged Chu Fei, he recognized the danger of her longsword and ran away.

• Chu Fei countered Lyu Qinghua's attack, revealed that his wound was not healed, and used a bottle of Spring of Life to disrupt her confidence.
• Chu Fei wounded Zhang Haoyuan, then bargained for fifty million and gave him Spring of Life in exchange for staying out of the fight.
• Chu Fei searched Zhang Haoyuan's backpack, found supplies and raw Spring of Life solution, and saw the city lord's faction and Wu Yong's faction face off.
• Lyu Qinghua surrendered the Spirit Fruits to Zhang Liyu and said the mutant beast cub had escaped; Zhang Liyu then ordered Chu Fei to kill himself.
• After Lyu Qinghua praised Zhang Liyu's combat record, Zhang Liyu challenged Chu Fei with a longsword, and Chu Fei turned and ran.

Chu Fei stalled Zhang Liyu and Lyu Qinghua until Liang Shaohua intervened, then helped his Third Senior Brother repair his energy circulation system. Liang Shaohua asked Chu Fei whether he had doubts about Dawn Academy’s rules and systems.

• Lyu Qinghua urged Zhang Liyu to pursue Chu Fei, and the two chased him while he used potions and the approaching darkness to prolong the pursuit.
• Zhang Liyu used her wings to attack Chu Fei, but Liang Shaohua appeared with a bow and drove her and Lyu Qinghua back.
