Feng Wu killed Li Yuan after rejecting his attempt to lure him into the Li Family, then refurbished an old Puppet as a possible way to confront the clan’s hidden strength. He left the Puppet with no active commands so he could study how to bind it to himself.

• Feng Wu took the wounded Li Yuan to a secluded campsite and demanded that he teach him the Aura Concealing Dou Technique.

• Feng Wu concluded that the Li Family’s leaders were likely much stronger than they claimed and took out an old Puppet to address the threat.
• Feng Wu spent one hundred experience points refurbishing and upgrading the third-tier Puppet, leaving it without commands so he could study it.

Feng Wu held back his breakthrough to Dou Shi while refining his Dou Qi Gauze Robe and assessing his strength. After activating a Tier 3 Puppet, he traced the faint Soul Power leaking from its head to a network of acupoint-like gaps.

• Feng Wu spent excess experience upgrading his techniques and skills rather than advancing his cultivation without a Foundation Establishment Pill.
• Feng Wu formed a genuine Dou Qi Gauze Robe and tested its toughness with Li Zheng's saber.

• Feng Wu used Soul Power to examine the Puppet's head and found dozens of human-like acupoints where its faint Soul Power escaped.

Feng Wu discovered that Soul Jade served as the Puppet’s control core, took command of it, and used the system to upgrade and control a second Puppet. He then led two Great Dou Shi-level Puppets on a three-day killing spree in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and by the fourth day had assembled ten more Puppets.

• Feng Wu found an ownerless Soul Jade in the Puppet’s cranial chamber and drove out the remnant souls to take control of it.

• Feng Wu summoned a second Puppet, upgraded it, and took control of it in the same way.
• Starting the next day, Feng Wu and his two Great Dou Shi-level Puppets rampaged through the Magical Beast Mountain Range, killing Martial Artists and magical beasts for experience.
• After three days of slaughter, the Li Family and opportunists realized people were disappearing too quickly; on the fourth day, Feng Wu stood before Puppet One and ten more Puppets.

After massacring Li Family members in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Feng Wu entered Ping Shan City and saw the grief his killings had caused, but resolved to become strong enough that no one could threaten him. He stormed the Li Family compound and faced more than twenty Dou Shi as one of their fighters stepped forward to kill him.

• Feng Wu finished upgrading his Puppets, reached Eight Star Dou Zhe, and set out for Ping Shan City with Little Er Ha.
• Feng Wu learned that nearly four hundred men had died and that the Li Family was blamed for provoking the killer in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
• After hearing a grieving youth vow revenge, Feng Wu sent Puppet One over the courtyard wall and killed him, then decided to eliminate threats and become the strongest.
• Feng Wu led Little Er Ha to the Li Family compound and smashed its main gate.
• More than twenty Li Family Dou Shi confronted Feng Wu, and a fighter named Li Lie stepped forward to attack him.

• Feng Wu summoned nine Tier 3 Puppets, and they overwhelmed the Li Family fighters while the Grand Eunuch joined the slaughter.

• Li Ran smashed open a section of the estate wall to create an escape route, but the Grand Butler Puppet struck him down.
• Feng Wu ordered the puppets to block every exit and prioritize killing the young and strong, then reflected on the bloodshed he had caused.

Feng Wu spent the experience from the slaughter to upgrade Peach Blossom Fire into a Pseudo Strange Fire, then ordered his Puppets to finish off Li Ran and the Li Family Great Elder. As he approached the Great Elder’s corpse, the Li Family Patriarch prepared a surprise attack, but Feng Wu revealed that he had been expecting him.

• Feng Wu used experience to raise his skills and advance Peach Blossom Fire into a Pseudo Strange Fire, causing the ground around him to melt.
• Feng Wu ordered the Puppets to stop holding back, and the Tier 4 Grand Butler Puppet mortally wounded Li Ran with a fiery punch.

• The Li Family Patriarch disguised himself as a frail old man, transformed into a muscular warrior, and raised a heavy hammer to attack Feng Wu from behind.
• Little Er Ha warned Feng Wu as the Patriarch launched his attack, but Feng Wu said he had been waiting for him.

Feng Wu killed the Li Family Patriarch and brought down the Li Family, then began learning the Turtle Breath Skill from a technique scroll he took from the Great Elder. As Feng Wu meditated, the other forces in Ping Shan City prepared to divide the Li Family’s territory and the city descended into wider chaos.

• Feng Wu used the Volcano Skill’s explosive attack to cripple the Li Family Patriarch, then killed him with a spear strike and returned to Nine Star Dou Zhe.
• Feng Wu displayed the Patriarch’s corpse and declared the Li Family’s leader dead, prompting its fleeing clansmen and watching spies to recognize the family’s downfall.

• Feng Wu raised the Turtle Breath Skill to Mysterious Rank Mid Grade, swallowed a first-rank Turtle Breath Pill, and began cultivating under a Puppet’s guard.
• Ping Shan City’s other forces avoided Feng Wu but prepared to seize the Li Family’s territory, while fighting and chaos spread through the city.

Feng Wu concealed his cultivation and looted the Li Family’s wealth, medicines, and techniques after destroying its survivors. He returned to the estate to find the Ping Shan City Wang Family offering him goods and asking to buy two of the Li Family’s markets.

• Feng Wu used the Turtle Breath Skill and Turtle Breath Pill to conceal eight realms of cultivation, leaving his apparent strength at One Star Dou Zhe.

• Feng Wu returned to the Li Family’s main courtyard and found visitors from the Wang Family waiting outside.
• Wang Shuo offered Feng Wu goods recovered from Li Family markets and three silver cards worth two hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins in exchange for two markets.

Feng Wu forced the Wang and Wu Families to buy marketplaces, then began collecting payment for the Li Family’s seized properties. After threatening an occupying faction’s boss and sending out his prices and ultimatum, he left Ping Shan City’s major factions panicking.

• Feng Wu sold marketplaces to the Wang and Wu Families, then kept their representatives from leaving so they could help him collect debts.
• After finding that no other factions had come forward to pay, Feng Wu took the Wang and Wu men to visit the Li Family’s properties.

• Feng Wu ordered the Wealthy Boss to tell every faction occupying Li Family properties to pay his set prices within two hours or leave—or face death.
• The Wealthy Boss’s subordinates delivered Feng Wu’s message, and the major factions of Ping Shan City panicked.

Feng Wu went around Ping Shan City demanding payment from the forces that had seized its markets, crushing resistance as he went. At the Fu Family market, he demanded seven hundred thousand gold and killed the Fu Family Clan Head when a hidden attacker struck.

• The smaller forces handed Feng Wu the money, while the Zhang Family surrendered when he arrived.

• Fu Zhong killed the Fu Family Patriarch, offered Feng Wu the patriarch’s head and Storage Ring, and arranged for the Wu and Wang Families to buy the family market to cover the remaining payment.

• Fu Zhong left, believing he could inherit the patriarch’s power, but Feng Wu ambushed and killed him.
• News of the Fu Family affair spread, and the other families paid Feng Wu without resistance.
• Feng Wu collected more than three million Gold Coins, rewarded Little Er Ha with a Second Grade Blood Coagulation Pill, and planned to leave for Wu Tan City the next morning.

Feng Wu returned to Wu Tan City with Little Er Ha and reunited with the Xiao Clan Great Elder, who noticed his hostility and unexpectedly high cultivation. After resting at home, Feng Wu went alone to the Mittel Auction House, where he worried about seeing Ya Fei again.

• Feng Wu and Little Er Ha reached Wu Tan City, and Feng Wu hurried into the Xiao Residence after hearing the Xiao Family Great Elder shout.
• The Xiao Family Great Elder recognized Feng Wu, praised his progress to Dou Qi Ninth Stage, and advised him to wash away his hostility and encourage Xiao Ning.
• Feng Wu returned to his residence, heated water with his Pseudo Strange Fire, and spent the day tidying up before resting for the night.
• Feng Wu went alone to the Mittel Auction House the next day and worried that Ya Fei might resent him for their last encounter.

Feng Wu met Ya Fei at the Mittel Auction House to collect two Qi Gathering Powders, but she deduced his identity as the youth who destroyed the Li Family. Ya Fei revealed his face and admitted she had connected routine reports, then assured him she had told no one.

• Feng Wu silenced the gossiping crowd with his Killing Intent before following Ya Fei into the Mittel Auction House.
• Ya Fei showed Feng Wu the two Qi Gathering Powders but asked him to remove his cloak so she could see his face.
• Feng Wu warned Ya Fei not to cross his boundaries when she pressed him to reveal himself.
• Ya Fei pieced together reports about the Li Family massacre, the pink flames, and Feng Wu's arrival with a Second Order Magical Beast, then identified him.
• Ya Fei lifted Feng Wu's cloak and revealed his face, and Feng Wu demanded to know whether she had investigated him.
• Ya Fei explained that she had connected routine reports and assured Feng Wu that she had told no one.

Feng Wu forced Ya Fei into a private bargain by threatening to expose information that could destroy her career, and she yielded to him. He left her with pills and ordered her to keep collecting Qi Gathering Powder, while Ya Fei watched him disappear and tried to accept what had happened.

• Feng Wu demanded collateral from Ya Fei to ensure she would not reveal his secrets, then used his knowledge of her background and ambitions to threaten her reputation and future.
• Ya Fei decided she could not risk losing her career and submitted to Feng Wu in the VIP Room.
• Afterward, Ya Fei ordered Feng Wu out, and he gave her several pills before leaving.
• Feng Wu returned briefly to claim Ya Fei as his and tell her to keep collecting Qi Gathering Powder, warning her not to betray him.
• Ya Fei opened the window, watched Feng Wu leave, and tried to reassure herself that following him was not the worst choice.

Feng Wu returned home after secretly making Ya Fei his ally and prepared Foundation Establishment Pills for his and Little Er Ha’s future breakthroughs. After twenty-five days of cultivation, he reached the threshold for Dou Shi and began consuming a pill as his breakthrough started.

• Ya Fei watched Feng Wu leave, and Feng Wu decided to use her weakness to secure her silence and make her his woman.
• Feng Wu returned home, where Little Er Ha smelled Ya Fei’s fragrance on him and reacted jealously.
• Feng Wu upgraded two doses of Qi Gathering Powder into Foundation Establishment Pills, reserving one for his breakthrough and one for Little Er Ha.
• Feng Wu cultivated for twenty-five days until his experience was nearly full and prepared to break through to Dou Shi.
• Feng Wu reached the final experience threshold, swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill, and began his breakthrough.

Feng Wu endured the Foundation Establishment Pill’s violent effects as it expanded and strengthened his Meridians, improved his physical foundation, and broke through the limit of his Soul Power. The pill then drove his Dou Qi Cyclone into a fierce compression, and Feng Wu wondered whether his already liquid Dou Qi could be condensed further.

• Feng Wu circulated the pill’s medicinal power through his Meridians, which it first injured and then healed while clearing impurities and opening additional tiny Meridians.
• The pill filled Feng Wu’s Meridians with surging Dou Qi, making his body swell painfully as Little Er Ha hurried over but did not interrupt his breakthrough.
• The remaining medicinal power reinforced Feng Wu’s body and left his expanded Meridians stronger and broader than before.
• A portion of the pill’s power traveled to Feng Wu’s brain and pushed his Soul Power past the Rank 3 Alchemist limit.
• The pill carried Dou Qi into Feng Wu’s Dantian, expanded its barrier, and accelerated his Dou Qi Cyclone until his liquid Dou Qi began compressing violently.
