Chapter Summaries

Yan Hua Yi Leng and Ye Luo devised a plan to lure Heavenly Alliance into fighting Pound, then trap them on the fifth floor so the boss could kill them. Heavenly Alliance entered the tomb and mistook Pound for a vulnerable quest boss, unaware that Yan Hua Yi Leng’s group was hiding nearby.

• After learning that Heavenly Alliance had sent dozens of stealthing assassins into Hero's Tomb, Yan Hua Yi Leng warned her group that fighting hundreds of enemies could turn them red-named again.
• Ye Luo proposed using Pound to kill Heavenly Alliance's players, and Yan Hua Yi Leng agreed to hide on the fourth floor and block the passage to the fifth.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng and her companions used stealth and Invisibility Pills to conceal themselves on the fourth floor while Heavenly Alliance's vanguard searched it and moved on.
• Heavenly Alliance's scouts found Pound alone on the fifth floor and reported that Yan Hua Yi Leng's group was missing.
• Heavenly Calamity and Heavenly Grief debated whether a powerful boss had wiped out the group or whether spies had warned them, then decided to try to claim Pound's loot.

Heavenly Alliance began fighting the demonized Pound in Hero's Tomb while Yan Hua Yi Leng's group watched from a safe distance. After Pound's area attack killed several players and it devoured their souls, Yan Hua Yi Leng explained that resurrecting after death still counted as dying.

• Heavenly Calamity led Heavenly Alliance into Hero's Tomb, where the guild found Pound alone and began attacking it with knights tanking, priests healing, and ranged players dealing damage.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others waited near the passage to the fifth floor, then sent Jian Er and Jian San ahead to scout while sharing their perspective.
• Pound used Sweep the Army, critically wounding much of Heavenly Alliance and killing nine players, but Heavenly Grief organized healing, recovery, and resurrection.
• Pound absorbed the souls of the players it killed, prompting Xing Qi Yi to ask whether Resurrection Prophecy deaths counted the same way.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng explained that Resurrection Prophecy prevented them from truly dying, unlike players who were revived only after their health was emptied.

Pound’s soul-devouring attacks devastated Heavenly Alliance, forcing its leaders to retreat toward the fourth floor of Hero’s Tomb. Yan Hua Yi Leng’s group prepared to trap the fleeing players behind Pound, while Ye Luo stayed to block the narrow passage and risk being stranded in combat.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng explained that Resurrection Prophecy prevented Pound from absorbing a protected player’s soul, and the group saw it as an advantage against him.
• Pound’s area attacks killed many Heavenly Alliance players, causing his attack power to rise until Heavenly Calamity and Heavenly Grief ordered a retreat.
• Pound slaughtered fleeing players as Heavenly Calamity and Heavenly Grief escaped toward the fourth floor, while Jian Er and Jian San watched and then returned to Yan Hua Yi Leng’s group.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng told Ye Luo to block the passage without attacking first, so he could retaliate against gray-named attackers without gaining a red name.
• Heavenly Calamity recognized Yan Hua Yi Leng’s trap and ordered his knights to charge Ye Luo, while Yan Hua Yi Leng stopped her companions from joining combat so they could later use Return Scrolls.
• Xing Qi Er worried that Ye Luo would be unable to return to the city once he entered combat, and Yan Hua Yi Leng’s group faced the prospect of leaving him behind.

Yan Hua Yi Leng arranged for Ye Luo to hold the passage alone while the group tried to trigger his Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission by making him lose a level. As Pound continued slaughtering the Heavenly Alliance, its leaders ordered reinforcements into Hero's Tomb, while Yan Hua Yi Leng prepared her team to retreat if they entered.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng persuaded Ye Luo and the others that he should stay behind, explaining that his possible level loss could test whether it triggered his Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission.
• Ye Luo blocked the passage as Pound killed dozens of Heavenly Alliance members and grew powerful enough to kill heavily armored players with one strike.
• Heavenly Grief ordered the Heavenly Alliance to spread out and kite Pound, slowing its casualties, but Pound's area attacks soon killed dozens more.
• Heavenly Grief summoned the Heavenly Alliance members waiting outside to enter Hero's Tomb and attack Ye Luo's group.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng told Jian Si to watch the passage and ordered everyone to return to the city as soon as he reported enemy reinforcements.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng warned that even if Pound used Myriad Swords Return to Origin and lost half his attributes, his attack power would still be high enough to kill them instantly.

Yan Hua Yi Leng’s group withdrew while Ye Luo stayed behind to hold off Heavenly Alliance and was killed. Xing Qi Liu’s Resurrection Prophecy revived him at full health, letting him surprise the leaders and kill Tiandi Shang.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng explained that Corpse Poison Pills could stop Pound from regenerating, then ordered the group to leave before Heavenly Alliance trapped them in combat.
• The others returned to the city, leaving Ye Luo to fight the approaching Heavenly Alliance players alone as he tried to make their losses to Pound worthwhile.
• Heavenly Arrow bound Ye Luo, and Heavenly Alliance’s attacks killed him before he could use an Invisibility Pill.
• Xing Qi Liu’s Resurrection Prophecy revived Ye Luo at full health, though Tiandi Jie and the others mistook him for a corpse.
• Ye Luo attacked Tiandi Shang with a Combination Skill and followed with Sweep the Army, killing him.

Ye Luo was killed by Heavenly Alliance after taking Heavenly Grief’s Silver staff, but his death triggered the Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission instead of costing him a level or equipment. He began the first of nine trials against a level 48 Gold Grade Swordsman phantom while Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others waited for him in Novice Village.

• Ye Luo killed Heavenly Grief, took his dropped Skeleton King's Staff, and fought back against the surrounding Heavenly Alliance players.
• Heavenly Alliance overwhelmed Ye Luo, and he chose to revive after his health was depleted, but the system sent him into the Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission.
• Ye Luo discovered that he had kept his level and equipment, then read the mission rules requiring him to complete nine stages within one hundred deaths.
• The first trial began, and Ye Luo attacked a level 48 Gold Grade Swordsman phantom, using his skills, pills, and lifesteal to endure the fight.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others waited at the Novice Village resurrection point, where Jian San wondered whether Ye Luo had escaped, but Yan Hua Yi Leng said the crowd had left him no chance.

Ye Luo Zhi Qiu struggled through the Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission, discovering that each death lowered his level and weakened the trial phantoms. After reaching the third stage and dying ten times, he triggered a server-wide announcement that drew Yao Yue Ju Bei’s attention.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others failed to contact Ye Luo and concluded that he was inside a Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission.
• Ye Luo completed the first stage, then faced a swordsman and a mage in the second stage and died repeatedly as he fought them.
• Ye Luo discovered that his level and the trial phantoms’ levels fell with each death, and he eventually defeated the second stage’s two phantoms at Level 40.
• Ye Luo entered the third stage against a swordsman, mage, and archer, but his level loss made him unable to use his equipment and he died again.
• The system announced that Ye Luo had died ten consecutive times and granted him one point to all attributes, prompting Yao Yue Ju Bei to contact Yan Hua Yi Leng after failing to reach Ye Luo.

Ye Luo continued the Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission as repeated deaths stripped away his levels, while gifts of All Attribute Points gradually strengthened him. At level 0, he cleared the seventh trial and faced an eighth trial featuring a priest Phantom.

• Players who knew Ye Luo worried about his sudden deaths, and Yan Hua Yi Leng reassured them that he was undertaking the trial mission and could die multiple times.
• Ye Luo lost levels and equipment while fighting the Trial Phantoms, but the system granted him increasing All Attribute bonuses after every ten deaths.
• At level 10, Ye Luo defeated the fourth trial’s four Phantoms and the fifth trial’s five Phantoms, then died during the sixth trial against an assassin and five other Phantoms.
• Ye Luo discovered that the Trial Phantoms did not lose levels when he dropped below level 10, and he kept fighting as his attribute gifts grew.
• After 80 deaths and reaching level 0, Ye Luo gained enough strength to defeat the sixth trial’s six Phantoms and then completed the seventh trial against a berserker Phantom.
• Ye Luo began the eighth trial and struggled with a priest Phantom that could heal and resurrect itself.

After repeatedly failing the eighth Trial Mission, Ye Luo studied the Trial Phantoms’ attacks and realized that fighting with two swords would let him combine offense and defense. He stole a swordsman’s longsword and prepared to turn the battle around.

• Ye Luo analyzed the eight Trial Phantoms’ abilities and learned how to dodge or block their attacks by exploiting their movements and obstructing their lines of sight.
• Ye Luo realized his single sword kept him from balancing offense and defense, then discovered he could temporarily snatch a Trial Phantom’s longsword before dying again.
• After gaining another 9 points in All Attributes, Ye Luo decided to steal the swordsman’s weapon and use it to fight with two swords.
• Ye Luo took a mutated Gale Pill, dodged the Trial Phantoms’ attacks, and snatched the swordsman’s longsword while striking at his face.

Ye Luo used a stolen longsword, pills, and careful positioning to defeat the eighth trial and began fighting the nine Trial Phantoms in the ninth. As Ye Luo continued the new trial, players and guild leaders debated his strength after learning he had died ninety times.

• Ye Luo stole the swordsman's longsword and used it to block attacks while killing the Trial Phantoms in the eighth trial.
• After clearing the eighth trial, Ye Luo kept the longsword and prepared for the ninth trial rather than risk losing it.
• Ye Luo used an Invisibility Pill to approach the grouped Trial Phantoms, broke through their formation, and killed the priest while damaging the others.
• Ye Luo continued evading and attacking the remaining Trial Phantoms as his movements grew more fluid.
• God of Wine Dukang asked Yao Yue Ju Bei about Ye Luo's abilities, and Yao Yue said Ye Luo had superior equipment and the potential to surpass him.

As Ye Luo fought to finish the Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission after falling to Level 0, his allies and rivals reacted to his apparent failure. The chapter left his friends anxiously waiting while Ye Luo neared victory over the remaining Trial Images.

• Yao Yue Ju Bei and the Fine Wine Family discussed Ye Luo's potential and worried that his ninety deaths might prevent him from completing the mission.
• Heavenly Calamity and Heavenly Grief celebrated Ye Luo's fall to Level 0, then decided to leave a party behind to harass him.

• Ye Luo defeated the remaining trial images and completed the ninth trial within the time limit, retaining the trial’s attribute points.
• The system restored Ye Luo’s basic attributes, awarded him additional attributes, Luck Value, and Reputation, and granted him the Reincarnator inheritance.
• Ye Luo received the inheritance, transforming his Soul Crystal into a Reincarnation Soul Crystal and revealing the Blade of Reincarnation as his exclusive weapon.
• Ye Luo discovered that he had gained the passive Eye of Reincarnation skill, which offered several forms of insight and a chance to learn passive skills from targets he killed.
• The system announced that Ye Luo would be teleported out of the trial space in 60 seconds.

After completing the Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission, Ye Luo returned to Novice Village 0099 and reunited with Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others, who examined his new Reincarnator profession. His exclusive Soul Crystal and weapon revealed the profession’s potential, while hostile players planned to keep targeting him.

• Heavenly Grief and Heavenly Calamity decided against moving their main force to Novice Village 0099, but ordered their remaining assassins to seek chances to kill Ye Luo.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others in Novice Village 0099 heard that Ye Luo had gained 59 All Attribute Points and a Unique Hidden Profession, then discussed how he could help them fight Pound.
• Ye Luo returned to Novice Village 0099, showed Yan Hua Yi Leng his attributes and Eye of Reincarnation skill, and revealed that his Reincarnation Soul Crystal granted 500 health and mana.
• Ye Luo displayed the Blade of Reincarnation, and Jian Wu and the others admired its powerful attributes and fast attack interval.

Yan Hua Yi Leng analyzed the Blade of Reincarnation and planned how to help Ye Luo strengthen it and level up for the fight against Pound. Ye Luo set out to hunt Skeleton Warriors, with Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others accompanying him at first.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng praised the Blade of Reincarnation as a candidate for the game's best longsword and deduced that it needed one thousand Novice Iron Swords to advance.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng assigned Jian Shi Si and Xing Qi Yi to gather Novice Iron Swords and level 40 Silver Equipment for Ye Luo.
• Ye Luo asked them to collect Magic Ant and Skeleton Sets, then chose level 35 Skeleton Warriors as his targets because he hoped to learn their Reflect Damage skill.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng agreed to accompany Ye Luo, both to speed up his leveling and to guard against Heavenly Alliance assassins.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng told most of the group to leave for Luoshui Town once Ye Luo reached level 30, while Jian Shi Si and Xing Qi Yi continued collecting supplies.

Yan Hua Yi Leng explained why the group planned to gather Silver Equipment to advance Ye Luo's Heart of the Brave and kill Pound sooner, while Ye Luo headed out to level. The group learned that Ye Luo's trial victory came from taking a phantom swordsman's weapon, and Yan Hua Yi Leng began to suspect his identity was tied to dual-wielding.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng said Breaking Waves Riding Wind would need seven or eight days to clear her crime points, so the group would gather twenty pieces of level-40 Silver Equipment rather than wait for her.
• Xing Qi Yi and the others agreed to collect Novice Iron Swords and pill ingredients, while Ye Luo promised to repay any equipment Misty Pavilion lent him.
• Ye Luo and his companions headed east to hunt Skeleton Warriors as Heavenly Alliance assassins followed but held back because Yan Hua Yi Leng's group was protecting him.
• Ye Luo asked when off-hand weapons would unlock, and Yan Hua Yi Leng speculated it might be around the Third or Fourth Advancement before suspecting he was connected to a rumor about dual weapons.
• Ye Luo explained that he had seized a swordsman's longsword in his Trial Mission, using it to block attacks and recover his familiar real-life fighting instincts.
• Jian Ba asked whether Ye Luo's trial achievement meant his gameplay surpassed Yao Yue Ju Bei's and could earn him a place on the Celebrity Ranking.

Ye Luo demonstrated his improved combat control by fighting Skeleton Warriors without being hit, while Yan Hua Yi Leng explained the benefits and requirements of becoming a Celebrity Ranking expert. After reaching level 10, Ye Luo discovered he needed to complete a Reincarnator advancement trial, and waited for equipment before attempting it.

• Ye Luo said he could eventually defeat Yao Yue Ju Bei, but Yan Hua Yi Leng explained that earning a Celebrity Ranking title required fame, achievements, and recognition as well as strength.
• Ye Luo fought up to three Skeleton Warriors at once without taking a hit, impressing Jian Ba and the others with his improved control.
• Ye Luo leveled quickly by killing Skeleton Warriors, reaching level 10 after defeating the tenth one.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng explained that Ye Luo remained an Apprentice Warrior until he completed the Reincarnator trial, and advised him to wait for better equipment.
• Jian Er arrived with the Magic Ant Set and other level-10 equipment, which Ye Luo equipped before attempting the trial.

Ye Luo completed the Reincarnator advancement trial and became an Apprentice Reincarnator, gaining improved skills and exceptional growth aptitudes. He returned to Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others, who eagerly asked what had changed.

• Ye Luo entered the advancement trial and defeated nine level 20 Gold Grade Trial Phantoms, each representing a different ordinary profession.
• The system announced that Ye Luo had taken up the Reincarnator post, advanced his Eye of Reincarnation and Reincarnation Soul Crystal, and granted him All-System Mastery in place of Sword Mastery.
• Ye Luo inspected his new abilities and discovered that his Soul Crystal gave him 6-star Strength growth and 3-star growth in his other attributes.
• Ye Luo checked the Blade of Reincarnation and confirmed that it required 1,000 Novice Iron Swords to advance.
• Ye Luo returned to Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others, confirmed he was now an Apprentice Reincarnator, and faced their questions about his skills and growth aptitudes.

After Ye Luo changed into the Reincarnator, his friends discovered that the class could equip any weapon and unlocked a hidden quest to find a complementary profession. The quest had no clear clues, so Ye Luo planned to consult profession instructors while focusing on leveling and developing his skills.

• Jian San, Jian Ba, and Yan Hua Yi Leng praised Ye Luo's exceptional growth aptitude and agreed he would mostly need to level alone, though they could still team up for important missions.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng suspected the Reincarnator could equip every weapon type, and Ye Luo confirmed he could equip a Magic Staff if his level were high enough.
• Ye Luo's attempt to equip the staff triggered hidden information about the Reincarnator and a unique quest to find and take up its complementary profession.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng advised Ye Luo to ask profession instructors in Novice Village and later in larger cities for clues about the quest.
• Jian San and Yan Hua Yi Leng discussed the power of Ye Luo's All-System Mastery and Eye of Reincarnation, including its chance to learn monsters' passive skills.

Ye Luo advanced the Blade of Reincarnation with a thousand Novice Iron Swords, then followed Yan Hua Yi Leng's plans to level quickly and prepare for the Path of the Hero mission. He entered the Burial Ground instance with Xing Qi Er, who wondered whether they could beat Yan Hua Yi Leng's old record.

• Xing Qi Yi and the others brought Ye Luo enough Novice Iron Swords, and he advanced the Blade of Reincarnation into a stronger level 10 weapon.
• Ye Luo demonstrated his sword skills against three Skeleton Warriors without getting hit, impressing Jian Wu and the other swordsmen.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng assigned Jian Er to scout for high-level monsters and directed the others to gather equipment, level up carefully, and avoid conflicts with the Heavenly Alliance.
• Ye Luo gave Xing Qi Er the Silver Skeleton King's Staff, then leveled rapidly while hunting Skeleton Warriors with her and Yan Hua Yi Leng.
• After Ye Luo reached level 30, he changed into the Demon Crocodile Set and entered the difficult Burial Ground instance with Xing Qi Er, who hoped they could beat the group's previous record.

Ye Luo and Xing Qi Er cleared several instances, rapidly leveling Ye Luo and earning a level 40 Silver cloak, while discussing how to advance the Heart of the Brave. They left to hunt Nether Warriors for more experience, still hoping to strengthen Ye Luo enough to help defeat Pound.

• Ye Luo and Xing Qi Er entered the instance and swiftly defeated the Nether Warriors, Nether Archers, Nether Shamans, and Skeleton King, raising Ye Luo to level 32.
• Ye Luo gave the level 40 Silver Skeleton Cloak to Xing Qi Er to pass along to Xiao Ba or Xing Qi Ri, then completed two more missions and reached level 35, equipping the Skeleton Set.
• Ye Luo realized the Heart of the Brave could advance with either twenty level 40 Silver items or five hundred level 40 Bronze items, but Xing Qi Er learned that Novice Village blacksmiths produced too few Bronze items to gather them quickly.
• Xing Qi Er told Ye Luo that Jian Er had not found higher-level monsters, so they went to hunt level 40 Nether Warriors while Ye Luo lamented that he had learned no passive skills from the monsters he had killed.
