Chapter Summaries

Chu Fei fought his way through the insect swarm and tracked the 200 Hz signal toward a suspected Queen Bee while Flying Tiger City's defenses neared collapse. After Mutated Venomous Bees emerged from the clouds and exposed the target's position, Chu Fei prepared to attack them with an Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle.

• Chu Fei had the searchlights turned off, used his Infrared Eagle Eye Spell to track the 200 Hz signal, and estimated that the city's pesticide defenses would fail in three minutes.
• Chu Fei learned that the City Lord, Wu Yong, and other experts had secretly gone out to intercept powerful mutated beasts as discussion spread through the encrypted network.
• Thirty-three mutated mantises attacked Chu Fei, but he fought them off with his whip while climbing through the insect cloud.
• Chu Fei traced the signal to a target roughly two kilometers above him and climbed toward it as the defense lines neared collapse.
• Mutated Venomous Bees dove from the clouds, revealing the target's position, and Chu Fei drew his Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle and fired.

Chu Fei used an Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle to disrupt the Queen Bee’s control over the attacking insects, then captured a Mutated Venomous Bee and rode it toward her. After discovering that spider silk from the clouds was carrying the Queen Bee and her surrounding insects, he began clearing them out, but the Queen Bee freed the swarm and sent it surging toward him.

• Chu Fei fired at the Queen Bee from afar, disrupting the 200 Hz sound wave and throwing the diving Mutated Venomous Bees into disarray.
• Chu Fei identified the Queen Bee as a massive, gourd-shaped creature and continued sniping while remaining wary of the other insects around it.
• When the Queen Bee restored its sound wave and the bees charged again, Chu Fei shot down many, severed a bee’s antennae, and took control of it as a mount.
• Chu Fei rode the captured bee upward and kept attacking the Queen Bee, eventually closing to about eight hundred meters.
• Chu Fei used a flare to reveal that spider silk from the clouds supported the Queen Bee and the surrounding insects, then began attacking them.
• The Queen Bee shrieked, causing the spider silk to vanish and unleashing a huge swarm of mutated insects at Chu Fei.

Chu Fei used his venomous bee mount, sniper rifle, and whip to destroy the insect swarm before confronting the Queen Bee. He discovered the Queen Bee was a massive mother nest and shot it down, leaving it falling amid the distressed insects.

• Chu Fei fled from hundreds of pursuing insects on his venomous bee, boosted the mount with Psionic Potion, and sniped the attackers while experimenting with direct control of the bee.
• The Queen Bee changed tactics and sent small dragonflies after Chu Fei, who beat them back with his whip and shot bloated insects that appeared to be mother nests.
• A mutated eagle charged at Chu Fei at extreme speed, but he dodged it and sliced through one of its wings with his long blade.
• Chu Fei killed the remaining large insects, flew to the dark clouds, and used flashbangs and concussion grenades to reveal the Queen Bee as a huge, nearly immobile mother nest.
• Chu Fei switched to 9 mm armor-piercing rounds and shot the mother nest twice between the eyes, causing it to fall as the surrounding insects buzzed helplessly.

After destroying the mother nest, Chu Fei detected and killed four suspected spies as the Beast Tide attacked the city’s defenses. With ammunition running low and the first wave expected to last a week, Huang Gang led Chu Fei and Zhao Hongyue on motorcycles toward the horde.

• Chu Fei reflected on how technology and his abilities had let him destroy the mother nest, then descended cautiously while controlling its insect mount.
• Chu Fei detected four suspicious men withdrawing, shot them, and ordered them brought in; they swallowed cyanide and died before questioning.
• The Beast Tide surged over the collapsed walls, overwhelming artillery and rocket fire as mutated beasts and flying eagles breached the defensive line.
• Huang Gang warned Chu Fei that the first wave would last a week and ammunition was being consumed too quickly, then proposed using motorcycles to fight the horde.
• Chu Fei learned to handle his motorcycle, and he, Huang Gang, and Zhao Hongyue charged out toward the Beast Tide at high speed.

Chu Fei mastered Huang Gang’s motorcycle combat techniques, then learned that the Lord’s Mansion had launched a Battle Achievement Ranking that threatened Dawn Academy’s standing and his Mind Power Collection Plan. After releasing edited footage of his attack on the Queen Bee, Chu Fei joined Huang Gang and Zhao Hongyue on a dangerous ride into the wilderness to pursue rewards and experience.

• Chu Fei used his perception and calculations to learn Huang Gang’s riding techniques, then matched his skill while fighting mutant beasts.
• Chu Fei discovered that the Battle Achievement Ranking favored the Lord’s Mansion faction and left him off the list, so he sent Second Senior Brother Gao Haifeng edited footage of his attack on the Queen Bee.
• Huang Gang and Zhao Hongyue explained that they planned to pursue the ranking’s rewards to gather resources for becoming Awakened, and Chu Fei described how battle fame could help his Mind Power cultivation.
• Chu Fei agreed to join Huang Gang and Zhao Hongyue on a deep-wilderness hunt, and the three rode forward in a spread-out formation toward the rear of the Beast Tide.

Chu Fei, Huang Gang, and Zhao Hongyue drove through the second Beast Tide toward the exotic beasts’ rear lines, with Chu Fei using his abilities and motorcycle to cut through powerful beasts. After breaking through the formation in five minutes, the three continued deeper into the wilderness.

• Chu Fei captured a kingfisher with Big Data Overwrite and used it as his eyes while the group rode toward the Beast Tide.
• Huang Gang urged them to keep moving and conserve ammunition as they charged into a pack of Two-headed Wolves, which Chu Fei cut through with his blade.
• The group fought through wild cattle, bears, and mutant hippos, and Chu Fei improved his technique by focusing on disabling beasts rather than decapitating them.
• Surrounded by powerful exotic beasts, Chu Fei used his heightened perception and processing power to identify weaknesses and attack them while riding through the formation.
• Chu Fei defeated a Golden Armored Earth Dragon by flying onto its back and firing into a gap in its armor, severing its spinal cord.
• Chu Fei and his companions broke through the second Beast Tide in five minutes, then continued deeper into the wilderness.

Chu Fei, Huang Gang, and Zhao Hongyue raced deep into the wilderness and used the Flying Mutated Beasts’ pursuit to locate the mutated beasts’ rear territory. They found a group of Two-headed Venomous Snakes, but the snakes’ explosive, flaming attack blasted Chu Fei and his motorcycle back down the hill.

• Chu Fei used Perception of Wind to monitor the sky as falcons and other Flying Mutated Beasts gathered overhead, then raced through a flock of birds at high speed.
• Chu Fei, Huang Gang, and Zhao Hongyue split up and watched which directions the falcons pursued, using their reactions to identify the likely location of the mutated beasts’ young.
• The three regrouped and raced through sparse forest, where Chu Fei repeatedly fired accurate three-round bursts at diving falcons and killed several.
• Chu Fei spotted a group of enormous Two-headed Venomous Snakes on a hill and realized they had found the mutated beasts’ territory.
• A Two-headed Venomous Snake sprayed two liquids that ignited into explosive flames, blasting Chu Fei and his motorcycle down the hill; Huang Gang and Zhao Hongyue stopped as the group faced the snakes.

Chu Fei and his companions broke through the mutant beasts’ mountain defenses and discovered a basin where mutant beasts raised their young. After launching drones to record the hidden breeding ground, they raced to escape with the evidence while Hong Qingxin ordered the beasts to stop them.

• Chu Fei used ultrasonic techniques to shield himself from phosphorus fire and cut through the Twin-headed Poison Fire Snakes before retreating from stronger beasts.
• Chu Fei saw Hong Qingxin beside a Vajra Giant Ape and judged that the giant ape was too dangerous to fight, so he escaped with Huang Gang and Zhao Hongyue.
• Hong Qingxin pursued them with mutant beasts, but Chu Fei’s group detoured over fifty kilometers and sped across another ridge into a basin.
• Chu Fei spotted mutant beast cubs guarded by adults and inferred that the basin was a breeding ground controlled by the Vajra Giant Ape.
• Chu Fei, Huang Gang, and Zhao Hongyue launched drones to photograph the basin and raced toward another hill as Hong Qingxin ordered the beasts to stop them from taking the recordings away.

Chu Fei, Huang Gang, and Zhao Hongyue fought through the mutant beasts’ rear lines as their ammunition dwindled, then split up so Chu Fei could draw the pursuit while the others escaped. Chu Fei used his Storage Space and Dragonfly Wings to break through successive blockades, reaching within just over ninety kilometers of Flying Tiger City before Hong Qingxin learned he could fly.

• Chu Fei, Huang Gang, and Zhao Hongyue raced through the mutant beasts’ blockades while Hong Qingxin sent swarms after them, and Huang Gang warned that their ammunition was running low.
• Chu Fei proposed drawing the mutant beasts’ attention while Huang Gang and Zhao Hongyue escaped toward the side; they agreed and broke out of the interception zone.
• Chu Fei stored most of his weapons and ammunition, lightening his motorcycle and using its increased speed to charge through successive defensive lines.
• When more than a hundred mutant boars blocked his route, Chu Fei stored his motorcycle, unfurled Dragonfly Wings, and flew over them before resuming his ride.
• Hong Qingxin learned that Chu Fei could fly only after Chu Fei had crossed two more blockades and approached to within just over ninety kilometers of Flying Tiger City.

Chu Fei lured Hong Qingxin’s Mutant Tigers into an exhausting chase, then turned and killed many of them. He broke through to within thirty kilometers of Flying Tiger City and successfully transmitted images, videos, and location information before the Beast Tide stopped his advance.

• Chu Fei encountered more than two hundred Six-Eyed Hairless Giant Tigers with Brain Beasts parasitizing them, and discovered that their bodies could withstand autocannon fire.
• Chu Fei fled on his motorcycle and led the Mutant Tigers over rough terrain, forcing them to sprint until heat and energy problems weakened them.
• Chu Fei turned on the exhausted Mutant Tigers and used his Ultrasonic Blade to kill them, while Hong Qingxin watched through the Brain Beast link and ordered them to retreat.
• Chu Fei continued hunting the Mutant Tigers in a desolate area, killing roughly a third before arriving beasts forced him to break away.
• Chu Fei charged through the arriving beasts to within thirty kilometers of Flying Tiger City, where he transmitted images, videos, and location information before the Beast Tide’s main force stopped him.

Chu Fei hunted mutated beasts while Flying Tiger City launched fifteen missiles at their rear base, devastating the basin. The Vajra Giant Ape rallied the surviving beasts into a furious concentrated assault on Flying Tiger City, and the approaching horde appeared to begin the decisive battle.

• Chu Fei resumed hunting the mutated tigers, used his motorcycle and combat skills to kill powerful beasts, and climbed to second place in the rankings.
• Flying Tiger City launched fifteen missiles toward the mutated beasts’ rear base, with a reconnaissance balloon helping guide the strikes to their targets.
• The missiles devastated the basin, killing and injuring countless mutated beasts and leaving the Vajra Giant Ape staring at the destruction.
• Hong Qingxin persuaded the Vajra Giant Ape to concentrate the beasts’ strength for a mad, localized breakthrough against the humans.
• The Vajra Giant Ape rallied the mutated beasts with a prolonged howl and charged toward Flying Tiger City with a vast horde behind it.

Chu Fei returned to Flying Tiger City as the Beast Tide’s final wave approached, then learned that public support had generated Mind Power he could absorb. After resting and reviewing his battles, he rushed out when the alarm announced the final battle.

• Chu Fei learned that a Level 6 Vajra Giant Ape led the Beast Tide’s final wave, sent Huang Gang and Zhao Hongyue to safety, and flew back to Flying Tiger City.
• Chu Fei returned to find the city’s defenses pushed back two kilometers, then received cheers from the soldiers and citizens.
• Li Shaorong showed Chu Fei the rankings, where he and Zhang Han were tied for first place, and explained that Principal Wu Yong had said the arrangement benefited him.
• Chu Fei sensed and cautiously absorbed the public’s Mind Power, realizing that it came with expectations to uphold his heroic image and keep achieving more.
• Chu Fei rested in his laboratory and reviewed his combat experiences before an alarm sounded: the final battle had arrived.

During the Beast Tide’s renewed assault, Chu Fei used his Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle to stop powerful mutated beasts from breaking through several defensive lines. As he raced to aid the Army Breaker Team, three unfamiliar small beasts led mutated tigers through a breach nearby.

• The mutated beasts adopted humanity’s Spearhead Tactic, and Chu Fei sniped 138 powerful attackers across the Greedy Wolf Team’s section of the line.
• Chu Fei continued across the defenses, eliminating 144 more powerful mutated beasts and spotting a Level 5 King-tier Golden Armored Earth Dragon charging toward him.
• Gao Haifeng intercepted the King-tier Golden Armored Earth Dragon with molten metal jet weapons, while Chu Fei noticed Liu Tingyun on the City Lord’s faction’s defensive line.
• Chu Fei helped stabilize the Army Breaker Team’s failing defense by sniping three Level 4 mutated beasts.
• A distress flare rose nearby, and Chu Fei saw three unfamiliar half-meter mutated beasts lead a group of mutated tigers through the defensive line.

Chu Fei fought off a group of Mutated Martens and Mutated Falcons that were tearing through the defensive line, using his abilities and changing techniques to overcome their different defenses. After killing the three level-five martens and a level-four falcon, he hovered above the battlefield as the remaining falcons kept their distance.

• Chu Fei flew to the breached defensive line and identified its attackers as three unfamiliar Mutated Martens, which moved too quickly for the soldiers to stop.
• Chu Fei blocked a marten's bite with Nano-metal, learned that its ultrasonic defense resisted blade edges but faltered against broad impacts, and killed it by gripping its neck and prying apart its spine.
• Chu Fei used Inch Force with his whip and blade to kill the other two Mutated Martens, prompting nearby mutant beasts to hesitate while the autocannons attacked.
• Chu Fei flew upward to confront six Mutated Falcons that were killing soldiers, struck away a level-four falcon with his whip, and then cut off its wing with the Ultrasonic Blade.
• The three remaining level-three falcons veered away from Chu Fei, leaving a clear zone around him as he hovered over the battlefield.

During the Beast Tide’s first assault, Chu Fei fought across the defense line, taught a sniper to focus his computational power, and reflected on Liu Tingyun’s changed circumstances. After the exhausted defenders drove the beasts back temporarily, they demanded that Liu Tingyun perform a dance in the sky.

• Chu Fei watched Liu Tingyun fight from the air, noticed her subdued embarrassment when their eyes met, and considered how much he had grown since first meeting her.
• Chu Fei coached a sniper to become emotionless and use his computational power, helping him kill a Level Three beast with one shot.
• Chu Fei encountered Yuan Yongfeng, who explained that his Potential Index had reached 9.0 through technology and augmentation modifications, before Chu Fei continued supporting the defense line.
• After eighteen hours of intense fighting and the loss of seven defense lines, Chu Fei saw Zhang Qiming and Wu Yong confront the Vajra Giant Ape with energy weapons.
• The Vajra Giant Ape ordered the beasts to retreat, and the defenders celebrated the temporary end of the assault.
• As the exhausted warriors demanded a morale-raising dance, they called for Liu Tingyun, the Young City Lord’s wife, to dance in the sky.

Chu Fei watched Liu Tingyun dance at the crowd’s demand and realized his idealized impression of her had finally broken, increasing his computational power. After Zhang Han’s ranking took first place, Chu Fei added his age to his own entry, drawing public criticism of the older Young City Lord, then returned to his laboratory to reflect on Mind Power and prepare for further training.

• Chu Fei identified a member of the Flying Tiger Team as the person urging Liu Tingyun to dance and suspected a larger scheme within the City Lord’s camp.
• Liu Tingyun danced twice for the warriors after Zhang Han gave her an Energy Crystal and insisted that easing their tension was her responsibility.
• Chu Fei’s changed view of Liu Tingyun broke an invisible mental barrier and increased his computational power by about five percent.
• After Li Shaorong told him to check the rankings, Chu Fei saw Zhang Han in first place and added “(16 years old)” to his own name, prompting comments that Zhang Han was competing with a teenager.
• Back in his laboratory, Chu Fei considered the City Lord’s attempt to gather Mind Power and resolved to pursue confidence, strengthen his foundation, and organize the battle data.

Chu Fei refused to join the Young City Lord Zhang Han’s nighttime raid, suspecting the operation was a ploy to gain the Power of Faith. After Chu Fei inferred that Zhang Han had stolen a dangerous Mind Power technique from Wu Yong, the raid force left Flying Tiger City and ran into Hong Qingxin leading an even larger mutant beast squad.

• Chu Fei began iterating his Cosmic Brain, but a Dawn Team captain summoned him to join the Young City Lord’s planned nighttime raid, and Chu Fei refused.
• Paid commenters attacked Chu Fei online for declining, while he stayed silent before posting a message praising Zhang Han and asking him to set an example.
• Chu Fei suspected Zhang Han was seeking the Power of Faith and asked Wu Yong whether Zhang Han had recently obtained a Mind Power cultivation method.
• Wu Yong revealed that a City Lord spy had spent ten years stealing his secret technique, which emphasized the Power of Faith, and Chu Fei concluded that Zhang Han was courting its dangers.
• Zhang Han led five squads out of Flying Tiger City, but less than three kilometers from the city they encountered Hong Qingxin atop a mutated wild boar, leading a larger force that included three level-five mutant beasts.

The Young City Lord’s elite ambush was nearly overwhelmed by Hong Qingxin’s mutant beasts until Gao Haifeng arrived and drove them off. As the survivors regrouped, Gao Haifeng questioned the Young City Lord about Mind Power, then rode out with Motorcycle Riders, citing combat data and experience from Chu Fei.

• Hong Qingxin directed more than forty mutant beasts as they killed five of the human elites and cornered the Young City Lord.
• The Young City Lord revealed his grasshopper-like Second Form, killed the King-tier Golden Armored Earth Dragon with a grenade, injured the albatross, and cut off his own leg to escape the Ironline Snake’s venom.
• Hong Qingxin’s mutated wild boar charged the remaining humans, but they slowed it with flares and explosives before Gao Haifeng shot it with an Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle.
• Hong Qingxin and the mutant beasts retreated as Gao Haifeng killed eight more beasts, then discussed the Young City Lord’s high Aberration Index and possible pursuit of Mind Power.
• After the exhausted survivors declined to continue the ambush, Gao Haifeng departed with Motorcycle Riders and said they had Chu Fei’s combat data and experience.

Chu Fei gave Huang Gang Spring of Life and urged him to grow stronger, then returned to his cultivation research and planned to advance Perception of Wind by strengthening his skin. His Potential Index test ended with the doctor saying he was not ready to advance, leaving Chu Fei wondering whether his result was normal.

• Chu Fei gave Huang Gang four bottles of Spring of Life and urged him to become stronger so the team could face an inevitable migration together.
• Huang Gang described how he and Zhao Hongyue used flash grenades and sunglasses to attack mutant beasts in the darkness, while Chu Fei said he would explain his own situation after Huang Gang became an Awakened.
• Chu Fei saw that Zhang Han remained first in the rankings, Gao Haifeng was second, Zhao Zhiyong was third, and Chu Fei had fallen to fourth amid public arguments over the Young City Lord's credit.
• Chu Fei planned his next cultivation steps and chose to strengthen his skin as the sensory surface for the third layer of Perception of Wind.
• Chu Fei measured his Potential Index at 8.4336, and the doctor told him he did not meet the conditions for advancement; Chu Fei asked whether the result was normal.

Chu Fei examined his unusual cultivation data, and Wu Yong told him to treat levels as reference points while building his own path. After studying the war and investigating a venomous bee he had controlled, Chu Fei discovered signs that his method had altered its brain and went out to experiment on more beasts.

• Chu Fei reviewed his test results with Wu Yong, who explained his high gene count and rising Aberration Index and urged him to focus on his foundation rather than levels.
• Chu Fei studied Mind Power and other knowledge at the Virtual Center, learned that Wu Feng had nearly died from aberration before Wu Yong saved him, and followed news of the Beast Tide and Hong Qingxin.
• Chu Fei examined footage and dissected the dead venomous bee he had controlled, then used his Cosmic Brain to reconstruct its body and identify damage caused by the struggle between his control and the bee's instincts.
• Chu Fei found that the area of the bee's brain he had controlled had developed a more complex cortex and new neural synapses, suggesting his method might affect brain development.
• Chu Fei gave two Dawn Team soldiers Supernatural Potions to clean his laboratory, then went outside to capture more beasts and test his brain-overwriting ability.
