Chu Fei tested the improved Perception of Wind and Dragonfly Wings, then discovered a town under attack and used his Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle to turn the battle against the bandits. He disguised himself as an Apocalypse Walker and approached Huang Dawei of Huangshan Town after the residents began their counterattack.

• Chu Fei measured Perception of Wind’s improved range and resolution, then tested his flight speed, endurance, and maneuverability in the mountains.
• Chu Fei lost his bearings, spotted artillery fire, and used his enhanced hearing to learn that a town was under attack by bandits.
• Chu Fei flew toward the battlefield, approached quietly, and shot the bandit commander from the sky with his Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle.
• Chu Fei evaded the bandits’ anti-aircraft fire and sniped their key figures until their forces began to rout.
• The residents of Huangshan Town counterattacked, and Huang Dawei knelt to thank the disguised Chu Fei for saving them.

Chu Fei, posing as bounty hunter Xu Liming, gathered intelligence in Huangshan Town and accepted a mission to assassinate Ghost Blade, the Iron Blood Mercenary Group officer who had abused the town. Huang Dawei offered him a Star Command Token and information about Star Battle Suits, then began outlining an ambush plan.

• Chu Fei introduced himself to Huang Dawei as Xu Liming, took three Dragon Blood Potions and two hundred Psionic Potions, and went to rest.
• While pretending to sleep, Chu Fei used Perception of Wind to learn about the Lord's Mansion, the Iron Blood Mercenary Group, and their conflict over Huangshan Town.
• Chu Fei told Huang Dawei he was leaving, prompting Huang Dawei to hire him to assassinate Ghost Blade, captain of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group's Second Detachment.
• Huang Dawei offered Chu Fei a Star Command Token and Storage Cards containing information about Sky City and Star Battle Suits as payment for the mission.
• Chu Fei accepted the mission without guaranteeing success, and Huang Dawei began explaining Ghost Blade's movements and how to arrange an ambush.

Chu Fei returned to Huangshan Town, killed Ghost Blade and his men, and forced Huang Dawei to pay seven kilograms of Helium-3. He then reached Flying Tiger City and discovered that intelligent mutated beasts were steadily weakening its walls; Second Senior Brother told him to meet a team leaving at dawn while the Lord's Mansion searched for him.

• Chu Fei watched Ghost Blade expose Huang Dawei as a traitor, then sniped Ghost Blade and the Motorcycle Riders and disabled the two armored vehicles.
• Brute turned against Huang Dawei, but one of the other men shot Brute; Huang Dawei and his family survived.
• Chu Fei demanded compensation from Huang Dawei and left with seven kilograms of Helium-3, after learning that Huang Dawei had given up resisting when he believed Chu Fei had been killed.
• Chu Fei flew to Flying Tiger City and saw swarms of small mutated creatures burrowing into the High Wall while flying beasts and insects hindered the city's defenders.
• Chu Fei messaged Second Senior Brother, who told him to come to the east side of the city and join a team clearing exotic beasts at dawn, while warning that the Lord's Mansion was searching for him.

Chu Fei returned to Flying Tiger City after observing the unusually coordinated Beast Tide and learned that the city was preparing for an imminent attack. He announced his return to the city and revealed that he had brought seven kilograms of nuclear fuel.

• Chu Fei decided to return to Flying Tiger City and spent the night observing mutated beasts that cooperated, avoided attacking him, and appeared to follow an unseen commander.
• At dawn, Chu Fei flew to meet Captain Tu Hu, Zhang Qiaoqiao, and the patrol convoy, surprising them by revealing that he had constructed his Second Form.
• Zhang Qiaoqiao explained that the city was waiting for the Beast Tide to attack while building new defenses, conserving ammunition, and searching for the cause of the beasts’ abnormal behavior.
• The convoy found no opportunity to lure or attack the mutated beasts, and Chu Fei saw that insects had secretly weakened the outer wall until it was close to collapse.
• After entering the city, Chu Fei saw its crude inner defense wall and decoy weapons, then flew above the city and announced that he had returned with seven kilograms of nuclear fuel.

After returning to Flying Tiger City with seven kilograms of Helium-3, Chu Fei learned about the energy crisis, discussed his cultivation and the apocalypse with Wu Yong, and began helping students with their questions. He discovered that their admiration seemed to nourish his soul, and asked Wu Yong if he had felt faith.

• Chu Fei brought seven bottles of Helium-3 back to Flying Tiger City, easing the city's energy shortage, and Gao Haifeng escorted him to Wu Yong.
• Chu Fei learned his laboratory had been requisitioned, discussed his Awakened cultivation with Wu Yong, and received a Storage Card containing recent battle records.
• Wu Yong speculated that the apocalypse might have been programmed by a Higher-Dimensional World and credited Chu Fei with one hundred and thirty-five million for the Helium-3.
• Wu Yong advised Chu Fei to fight on the city walls and become a visible hero, but Chu Fei chose to rest before beginning combat the next day.
• Chu Fei returned to the academy, slept for eighteen hours, and began answering cultivation questions from twenty-seven students the following morning.
• Chu Fei sensed that the students' admiration nourished his soul, then contacted Wu Yong and asked whether the feeling was faith.

Chu Fei learned Wu Yong’s principles for cultivating Mind Power and used his ideas about prosthetics and cultivation to help Huang Gang and Zhao Hongyue rebuild their Thought Models. As Huang Gang began reconstructing his model with Chu Fei’s resources, a level-two alert sounded for Mutated Vampire Bats, and Chu Fei flew toward the front lines to investigate.

• Wu Yong explained that Awakened cultivated Mind Power by strengthening their inner cores and building a credible heroic persona without losing themselves to it.
• Chu Fei studied Wu Yong’s materials, then concluded that changes in mentality—not prosthetic modification alone—could affect cultivation and encouraged Huang Gang and Zhao Hongyue to try rebuilding their Thought Models.
• Chu Fei analyzed and optimized their Thought Models, gave Huang Gang the Spring of Life and an Energy Crystal, and affirmed that the three of them were family.
• Huang Gang began reconstructing his Thought Model under Chu Fei’s supervision as the Dawn Team prepared for a possible long-distance migration ahead of the Beast Tide.
• A level-two alert announced Mutated Vampire Bats, and Chu Fei spread his Dragonfly Wings and flew clumsily toward the front lines while discussing the bats with Zhao Hongyue.

Chu Fei defended Flying Tiger City’s wall from three massive swarms of Vampire Bats, using ultrasonic interference and a carbon-fiber pole to protect the panicking soldiers. He also brought down a high-level mutated eagle, then returned to the Dawn Team after claiming its Demon Core and leaving its corpse for processing.

• Chu Fei reached the wall and saw three swarms of more than a thousand Vampire Bats each overwhelm its defenses.
• Chu Fei used ultrasonic waves to disrupt the bats and swung a carbon-fiber pole to clear a path, helping the soldiers regain control and escape.
• Chu Fei pursued the retreating bats, then shot down a mutated eagle diving at him and killed it with the pole.
• Chu Fei chased the bats for more than five hundred meters, knocking down nearly half before returning with the eagle’s corpse.
• Chu Fei gave the corpse to the military for processing after saying he had removed its Demon Core and estimating it was a fourth-level exotic beast, then flew back to the Dawn Team.

As Flying Tiger City’s High Wall neared collapse, Chu Fei helped Huang Gang and Zhao Hongyue prepare for Awakening while developing weapons and studying Big Data Overwrite. The wall finally began to fall, revealing that intelligent aberrant beasts had found a way to destroy it.

• Huang Gang and Zhao Hongyue received test results showing Potential Indexes near 8.0, Thought Model scores above 6,400, and low Aberration Indexes, making them candidates to pursue Awakening.
• Chu Fei planned his cultivation and research, then designed and commissioned custom weapons while studying minor spells as a foundation for Big Data Overwrite.
• Zhao Hongyue delivered five combat suits to Chu Fei, who tested them and resumed his research.
• Chu Fei began exploring ways to improve his vision through Big Data Overwrite, seeking to combine eagle-like sharpness with infrared vision.
• At midnight, Chu Fei heard cracking and saw the High Wall sway as cracks spread and concrete fell.
• A section of the High Wall more than three hundred meters long collapsed outward toward Flying Tiger City, showing that intelligent aberrant beasts had found a way to bring it down.

The city wall of Flying Tiger City collapsed, and Chu Fei joined the Awakened defending the breach as the Beast Tide attacked. He helped kill dozens of mutant yellow bulls, but coordinated swarms of flying insects forced the defenders to retreat; after Airburst Bombs cleared the sky, they charged back to hold the breach until dawn.

• The city wall collapsed, and Chu Fei flew to the breach as mutant beasts surged toward Flying Tiger City.
• Chu Fei and six other Awakened fought off charging mutant yellow bulls, with Chu Fei killing thirty of them using his whip and other abilities.
• Chu Fei recognized the middle-aged fighter as Li Shaorong, captain of the Greedy Wolf Team, while the Beast Tide began attacking with coordinated tactics.
• Swarming mutant insects arrived, forcing Chu Fei, Li Shaorong, and the other defenders to retreat as the remaining yellow bulls charged over the fallen wall.
• Artillery fired Airburst Bombs to clear the insect cloud, and Chu Fei led the Awakened back toward the breach, urging them to hold until dawn.

Chu Fei led a vanguard against the mutant beasts on the collapsed High Wall, rescued fighters from a massive insect swarm, and escaped the incendiary bombardment with a small group. Outside the city, Li Shaorong deferred to Chu Fei, who urged the survivors to seize the initiative and attack.

• Chu Fei recovered from a mutated weasel’s toxins, killed beasts on the wall, and helped Li Shaorong bring down a Level Four bear.
• Chu Fei rallied the fighters to hunt the mutant beasts, but a vast swarm of insects trapped the vanguard on the wall.
• Chu Fei led twelve people through the swarm as alarms warned that incendiary bombardment was imminent, then found himself and the others caught between insect clouds.
• Chu Fei chose a thinner part of the swarm, used grenades to clear a descent, and led about thirty people off the wall before white phosphorus bombs engulfed it.
• Outside the city, Li Shaorong asked Chu Fei to lead, and Chu Fei called for the survivors to attack rather than return through the city gate.

Chu Fei led seven fighters through the Beast Tide and ambushed a pack of Two-headed Wolves to raise morale in Flying Tiger City. After wiping out the pack, they found their route back blocked by Vampire Bats and wild cattle as more Two-headed Wolves pursued them, but Chu Fei vowed to lead everyone back to the city.

• Chu Fei gave the fighters a choice to leave or join his risky mission, and seven people, including Li Shaorong, chose to follow him into the wilderness.
• Chu Fei guided the group through the Beast Tide and planned a dawn ambush on a nearby Two-headed Wolf pack.
• The eight fighters surprised and killed all fifty-seven Two-headed Wolves, using flashbangs to disorient the pack.
• Chu Fei sensed mutated beasts converging and led the group toward Flying Tiger City.
• Vampire Bats and wild cattle blocked their path while three or more packs of Two-headed Wolves chased them, and Chu Fei declared he was now completely confident they could reach the city.

Chu Fei led Li Shaorong and six others home by riding a stampeding herd of mutant wild oxen, breaking through mutant beasts on the way. Near Flying Tiger City, they encountered Hong Qingxin, a former Flying Tiger Team captain who had merged with a Mutated Brain Beast brood nest and now controlled the beasts blocking their route.

• Chu Fei disrupted the Vampire Bats with an ultrasonic cry, then led seven others in mounting mutant wild oxen and using Supernatural Potion to control them.
• Chu Fei guided the oxen through a pack of Two-headed Wolves with grenades and gunfire, then turned the growing herd toward home.
• The herd scattered mutant deer and grew to more than 130 oxen as Chu Fei led it to within a kilometer of Flying Tiger City's walls.
• Chu Fei learned that three sections of Flying Tiger City's High Wall had collapsed and detected a mixed mutant-beast blockade ahead.
• Chu Fei recognized the Brain Beast-parasitized man as Hong Qingxin, a former Flying Tiger Team captain who revealed he controlled the mutant beasts.

Chu Fei led his comrades through the mutated beasts’ blockade while fighting Hong Qingxin, who used his control over the beasts and a sniper rifle against them. After discovering a flaw in Hong Qingxin’s control, Chu Fei exploited it to kill the mutated boar protecting him and left Hong Qingxin fleeing.

• Chu Fei rejected Hong Qingxin’s attempt to negotiate and urged his comrades to charge forward, using firearms and long sabers against the beasts.
• Chu Fei attacked a mutated bear and eagle, then dodged Hong Qingxin’s sniper fire while Li Shaorong led the soldiers through the opening.
• Chu Fei observed that the mutated beasts briefly regained their senses whenever Hong Qingxin’s control faltered, and he calculated when the next lapse would occur.
• Chu Fei ordered the group to unleash their remaining ammunition during Hong Qingxin’s fourth control attempt, when the beasts hesitated.
• Chu Fei tricked Hong Qingxin into dodging two stones, then landed on the mutated boar and drove his saber through its skull.
• With the boar dead and his ammunition exhausted, Chu Fei stood over it as Hong Qingxin ran away.

Chu Fei led Li Shaorong and the others back to Flying Tiger City after Hong Qingxin escaped, then shared their battle footage through Dawn Academy. The crowd’s response awakened his ability to perceive the quality and sincerity of Mind Power, leaving him to consider how fame would affect him.

• Chu Fei abandoned his pursuit of Hong Qingxin and returned to help Li Shaorong and the others fight their way through the mutant beasts to Flying Tiger City.
• Chu Fei led the exhausted group into the city and told them to report what they had discovered, then spoke with Zhang Anjun and offered to release their battle footage through Dawn Academy.
• Gao Haifeng and the crowd welcomed Chu Fei, whose exposure to their Mind Power caused the Wisdom Tree Seed to reveal beams of different qualities and give him a way to judge whether people were sincere toward him.
• Chu Fei and Dawn Academy uploaded and watermarked the battle footage, after which positive and negative Mind Power surged toward him, with the positive influence greater.

After his group’s victory restored Flying Tiger City’s confidence, Chu Fei studied how Mind Power could be absorbed and measured. He discovered that even positive Mind Power carried emotional burdens, then returned to the Dawn Team research base determined to strengthen every part of his abilities before the Beast Tide erupted again.

• Chu Fei and his companions paraded through Flying Tiger City, whose citizens cheered them after two other battlefields suffered devastating losses.
• Chu Fei used the Wisdom Tree Seed to investigate Mind Power and concluded that separating a person’s positive and negative thoughts required excessive computing power.
• Chu Fei reasoned that he could absorb Mind Power more efficiently by discarding equal amounts of positive and negative thoughts together, but decided Mind Power should remain an aid rather than his main path.
• Chu Fei accepted a handmade bouquet from Jiang Ziyun and used her sustained gratitude to establish the Purple Cloud as a unit for measuring Mind Power.
• Chu Fei found that absorbing positive Mind Power also imposed its giver’s wishes and emotional burdens, making even pure gratitude a source of karma.
• Chu Fei returned to the Dawn Team research base to study cultivation, combat, and Mind Power, and resolved to develop comprehensively before the Beast Tide erupted.

Chu Fei explained why he had let Hong Qingxin escape, then used newly gathered Mind Power to accelerate his research into an Infrared Eagle Eye Spell. Before he could test it, the Beast Tide launched a massive assault as the remaining city wall collapsed.

• Gao Haifeng asked Chu Fei why he had not pursued Hong Qingxin, and Chu Fei explained that he had been exhausted and prioritized bringing his team home safely.
• Chu Fei publicly clarified his decision, gained remorse-tainted Mind Power, and realized he could absorb it by forgiving those who had misunderstood him.
• Chu Fei used Mind Power and Wisdom Dewdrops to develop a third-generation Infrared Eagle Eye Spell, but hesitated to test it on his eyes and went to sleep in the laboratory.
• An alarm woke Chu Fei with news that mutated ground squirrels and rats were undermining the remaining city wall and the Beast Tide was gathering.
• Chu Fei reached the front line, where Li Shaorong reported the approaching assault, as a broad section of the city wall collapsed and a radio call announced that the Beast Tide had erupted.

As the unprecedented land, sea, and air Beast Tide closed in on Flying Tiger City, Chu Fei chose to fight alone after learning that Wu Yong's mind concealed a terrifying, corrupting presence. The alarm sounded as the Beast Tide reached within three kilometers, leaving Chu Fei on the brink of battle.

• Li Shaorong received the drone's final footage, which showed mutated beasts filling the land, sea, and sky as the Beast Tide advanced toward Flying Tiger City.
• Chu Fei sensed the approaching vanguard and returned to Dawn Academy to brief Second Senior Brother and Wu Yong.
• Chu Fei accidentally perceived a vast, dark world within Wu Yong's mind, and Wu Yong warned him not to explore Mind Power deeply before reaching 9.0.
• Wu Yong offered Chu Fei three combat roles, but Chu Fei chose to operate alone and received permission to take supplies from the warehouse.
• Back at the Dawn Team research base, Chu Fei's forced calm collapsed as he feared Wu Yong's nature and reconsidered the dangers of the Cosmic Brain.
• An alarm announced that the Beast Tide had come within three kilometers and could attack at any moment.

Chu Fei discovered a low-frequency signal guiding the overwhelming insect swarm and developed infrared vision to search for its source. As Flying Tiger City's defenses faltered, he flew into the swarm to find the creature controlling it.

• Chu Fei reached the front line as the Beast Tide gathered, and Li Shaorong recognized the roar of a Beast King.
• The mutant insects attacked, but Flying Tiger City's insecticide spray guns held them back only briefly as each defensive line began to fail.
• Chu Fei examined the insects, learned that the city could not find a Queen Bee, and used Perception of Wind to locate a low-frequency signal amid the chaos.
• Chu Fei constructed and tested the Infrared Eagle Eye Spell, improving his vision enough to search through the swarm.
• After the second defensive line collapsed, Chu Fei unfolded his Dragonfly Wings and rose into the air as Li Shaorong prepared for the Queen Bee's possible counterattack.
