Chapter Summaries

Feng Wu entered the Dou King Tomb’s vast chamber and discovered its treasures, the Dou Wang’s remains, and eleven dangerous puppets guarding the jade throne. He realized the puppets could be far tougher than their weakened strength suggested, leaving him unsure how to proceed.

• Feng Wu crossed a trap-filled passage lined with the bones of craftsmen who had been sealed inside the tomb and killed.
• Feng Wu entered the tomb chamber and found a Medicine Garden, pill shelves, weapon racks, and ancient books, most of them ruined by time.
• Feng Wu saw the Dou Wang’s skeleton pierced by roots from the giant tree above the tomb and understood that the tree had fed on the corpse.
• Feng Wu identified ten dilapidated Tier 3 Puppets and one dilapidated Fourth Order Puppet guarding the jade throne and three jade chests.
• Feng Wu worried that the puppets’ metal bodies had retained much of their original defenses despite their reduced strength and movement.

Feng Wu tested the Puppets’ alert range and fought one of the Tier 3 machines to reach the treasures nearby. After using Flame Fire Body and discovering the Puppet’s damaged chest cover was leaking energy, he suspected its power source was exposed.

• Feng Wu cautiously approached the eleven Puppets and found that only the nearest one activated when he entered its alert range.
• The Puppet’s speed and metal body overwhelmed Feng Wu’s ordinary attacks, so he activated Flame Fire Body, which burned away his clothes, hair, eyebrows, and more.
• Feng Wu’s empowered assault forced the Puppet back, but its movements grew increasingly sluggish and it briefly lost power.
• Feng Wu noticed a loose, wobbling cover on the Puppet’s chest and saw Dou Qi leaking through the gap.
• Feng Wu struck the exposed cover with Mountain Splitting Palm, causing more Dou Qi to spill out and leading him to suspect it concealed the Puppet’s energy source.

Feng Wu disabled a Puppet and took its depleted Third Order Magic Cores, then recovered his Dou Qi and decided to bring Little Er Ha into the tomb to help deal with the remaining Puppets. The chapter ended as he and Little Er Ha prepared to attack the Puppets together.

• Feng Wu broke open a Puppet's chest switch, stopped it, and extracted nine Third Order Magic Cores, seven of which still held some energy.
• Feng Wu stored the Puppet and Magic Cores, then recovered from the heavy Dou Qi cost of using Flame Fire Body.
• Feng Wu decided to bring Little Er Ha into the tomb rather than spend two days defeating the remaining Puppets alone.
• Little Er Ha mistook Feng Wu's bald, naked appearance for that of an impostor before recognizing him by his scent.
• Feng Wu instructed Little Er Ha to target the Puppets' chests and avoid attracting too many at once, promising to make her pills if she behaved.

Feng Wu and Little Er Ha cleared the burial chamber’s remaining Puppets, then Feng Wu harvested rare medicinal herbs and investigated a Dou Wang’s pill cabinets. The pills on the first shelf had all deteriorated, but Feng Wu let Little Er Ha eat the remaining medicinal essence from the waste pills and herbs.

• Feng Wu and Little Er Ha dismantled Puppets together, and Feng Wu rewarded Little Er Ha with Qi Replenishing Pills before sending it to guard the entrance.
• Feng Wu entered the Medicine Garden and carefully harvested seven surviving herbs, including the Night Spirit Leaf.
• Feng Wu inspected pill cabinets labeled by rank and opened the Rank 1 pill bottles, discovering that their contents had lost their efficacy and crumbled into powder.
• Little Er Ha began eating the waste pills and withered herbs, and Feng Wu stopped it to check what it had consumed.
• Feng Wu realized that Little Er Ha could safely digest the leftover medicinal essence, so he allowed it to eat the waste pills and herb remnants for energy.

Feng Wu searched the pill shelf and salvaged several valuable pills, including a Fifth Grade Soul Nourishing Liquid that could strengthen his Soul Power. He also found a box of pill formulas, giving him a way to advance his alchemy as he left with valuable supplies.

• Feng Wu let Little Er Ha eat the nonpoisonous ruined pills and sorted through the damaged Rank 1, Rank 2, Third Grade, and Fourth Grade pills.
• Feng Wu upgraded the surviving Qi Gathering Powder into a Foundation Establishment Pill and preserved a Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill.
• Feng Wu found two useful Fifth Grade pills: a Dou Ling Pill and a Soul Nourishing Liquid he intended to use himself.
• Feng Wu discovered a box of pill formulas that could help him develop his alchemy skills.

Feng Wu found valuable pill recipes and claimed the powerful Fire Tipped Spear in the Dou Wang's tomb. He then began using Fifth Grade Soul Nourishing Liquid, but its fierce effects left him trembling in agony.

• Feng Wu discovered a collection of pill recipes, including a Rank 2 Overlord Hair Growth Pill that could counter the side effects of his cultivation technique.
• Feng Wu found the Fire Tipped Spear, a Flawless Famous Weapon made from rare materials and capable of greatly amplifying Fire Attribute Dou Qi, and took it for himself.
• Feng Wu gathered some remaining equipment, left Little Er Ha to guard the passage, and prepared to use Fifth Grade Soul Nourishing Liquid.
• Feng Wu dabbed a drop of the liquid onto his forehead, and his Soul Power absorbed it, triggering intense itching, numbness, soreness, and pain.

Feng Wu used Soul Nourishing Liquid to raise his Soul Power enough to become a Rank 3 Alchemist, then fought the tomb’s Puppets with Little Er Ha. After the Grand Eunuch Puppet ambushed him, Feng Wu destroyed another ordinary Puppet and prepared to face the Grand Eunuch Puppet alongside Little Er Ha.

• Feng Wu absorbed drops of Soul Nourishing Liquid, advancing his Soul Power from the boundary of Rank 1 and Second Rank to a level that could make him a Rank 3 Alchemist.

• The Grand Eunuch Puppet ambushed Feng Wu, and its powerful punch drove him back and injured his shoulder.
• Feng Wu realized he could damage the Grand Eunuch Puppet, then used its force to retreat and destroy a nearby ordinary Puppet by striking its chest weakness.
• Feng Wu and Little Er Ha split to attack the Grand Eunuch Puppet from opposite sides.

Feng Wu and Little Er Ha defeated the Grand Eunuch Puppet, then opened the treasure chest beside the Dou Wang's corpse. Feng Wu discovered the dead Dou Wang's deception and reached for the cultivation scroll.

• Feng Wu dismissed the Dou Wang's plan for him to join the dead man's clan and reached for the cultivation scroll.

Feng Wu and Little Er Ha hid at the tomb passage entrance when a Li Clan party arrived, and Feng Wu prepared to ambush them in the narrow corridor. Li Zheng sent Ping San and Li Si ahead as expendable scouts, but Ping San shoved Li Si out first, and Feng Wu killed him with a spear thrust and attacked the passage with Cloud Dispelling Palm.

• Feng Wu stored the two unread scrolls and took Little Er Ha to lie in wait at the tomb passage entrance.
• Li Zheng led Young Master Li Ling and more than thirty Li Clan members into the passage, then ordered Ping San and Li Si to go ahead with tinderboxes.

• Feng Wu pierced Li Si with his spear and struck into the passage with Cloud Dispelling Palm.

• Feng Wu killed Li Si with a spear thrust, then used the Cloud Dispelling Palm to blow Ping San into the spears of the advancing Martial Artists.

• Li Zheng rejected his men’s suggestion to pursue Feng Wu and ordered Li Wu to move the group back and cut off the fugitives’ water and food.

Feng Wu discovered the Ladder Cloud Steps movement technique and the Fire Meteor spear technique in the tomb, then learned Fire Meteor while weighing the dangers of gaining experience by killing people. As he prepared to practice Ladder Cloud Steps, the smell of roasting drifted from the passageway behind him.

• After waiting two hours without anyone entering the tomb chamber, Feng Wu treated his and Little Er Ha’s minor wounds and stood guard.
• Feng Wu examined two scrolls and found Ladder Cloud Steps, a movement technique that could let its practitioner tread through the air.
• He found Fire Meteor, a spear technique designed for the Fire Tipped Spear, and practiced its basic forms before using experience points to reach the introductory stage.
• Feng Wu chose not to spend more experience points on Fire Meteor, reflecting that killing people granted experience far faster than hunting Magical Beasts.
• As Feng Wu began preparing to practice Ladder Cloud Steps, he smelled something roasting from the passageway behind him.

Feng Wu held back the smoke filling the passage while waiting for a chance to escape, but Li Ling ordered his retainers to add potent drugs to it. When Li Zheng’s intervention sent the smoke rolling downward, Feng Wu unleashed a gale and charged out with Little Er Ha, leaving Li Zheng and Li Ling overwhelmed by the fumes.

• Feng Wu used a light breeze to keep smoke out of the burial chamber and sent Little Er Ha to knock down the Night-Luminescent Pearls as they waited to break out.

• The drug-laced smoke engulfed Li Zheng and Li Ling; Li Ling lost his senses, while Li Zheng struggled against the drugs’ effects.

Feng Wu and Little Er Ha escaped the tomb and settled in a mountain hollow, where Little Er Ha accidentally swallowed a Foundation Establishment Pill too early. As the pill forced him to advance despite his poor foundation, Feng Wu searched desperately for a way to save him and suddenly realized he had a solution.

• Li Zheng led his remaining men into the tomb passage to wait for reinforcements rather than pursue Feng Wu and Little Er Ha.
• Feng Wu bound Li Ling's Storage Ring to himself and sorted through its contents at a mountain hollow.
• Feng Wu fed Little Er Ha some pills and explained that he should take the Foundation Establishment Pill just before advancing to Second Order.

• Feng Wu approached Ping Shan City in disguise, but its tighter defenses made him prepare to leave without entering.
• A checkpoint sentry stopped Feng Wu and inspected Little Er Ha, while Feng Wu readied himself to fight or flee.

• Feng Wu learned that hundreds of people were searching for him and Little Er Ha, with the Li Clan offering large rewards, and chose not to expose himself at the checkpoint.

Feng Wu and Little Er Ha began a counter-hunt in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, killing dozens of Li Family pursuers while Feng Wu advanced to Eight Star Dou Zhe.
