Chapter Summaries

Ye Bai infiltrated Blood Demon Du Bo’s secret Blood Palace and disrupted the summoning of Blood Demon God Cain, who cursed Du Bo before fleeing. When Du Bo tried to possess Ye Bai, Ye Bai’s Eye of Truth absorbed him and began consuming the Blood Palace, while Zhang Lingxue headed into the Blood Sea to reach her disciple.

• Du Bo revealed that Ye Bai’s True Sight Eye could evolve into a semi-finished Eye of Truth and had the Abyssal Octopus drag him to the Blood Altar.
• Ye Bai secretly poured Allicin into the Blood Pool as Du Bo sacrificed his Blood Ancestor Doppelgangers and the Eye of Truth began to awaken in Ye Bai’s eyes.
• Blood Demon God Cain descended, immediately fled in anger, and cursed Du Bo with a Blood Sword when the summoning failed.
• Du Bo tried to possess Ye Bai while Zhang Lingxue fought his spawn, but Zhang Lingxue used the True Goddess of Light Butterfly’s holy light to destroy it and then rushed into the Blood Sea.
• The fourth fragment of the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart appeared, completing Ye Bai’s Eye of Truth, which absorbed Du Bo and began drawing in the Blood Palace for its final advancement.

Ye Bai absorbed the Blood Palace, gained the Eye of Truth, and left the Southern Heaven Gate after arranging to keep the Blood River secret and use it as a research base. Back at Imperial Capital University, he learned how to find a Space Spider and the Philosopher’s Stone, while the Information System revealed several looming crises in Beautiful Country and at the fortress.

• Ye Bai absorbed the Blood Palace and explained to Zhang Lingxue that the Blood Demon had perished after its summoning failed; they decided to conceal the Blood River and let the Blood Pool mature there.
• Ye Bai left the Southern Heaven Gate Fortress, where Zhang Dashan and Yin Tiger agreed to suppress news of the Blood Demon while the Molten Dragon Turtle threat remained.

Ye Bai learned that Su Qingxian wanted him to recover a secret research reagent or Dr. William’s Notebook during the Global Youth Researcher Competition at New Covenant University. As the Flame Kingdom team traveled to Beautiful Country, a masked enemy sent a flock of Great King Vultures to attack their transport plane, leaving Meg and the students protected inside Lady Bat’s spatial barrier.

• Su Qingxian assigned Ye Bai a secret mission to retrieve Dr. William’s research reagent or, failing that, his Notebook from New Covenant University.
• Meg briefed the Flame Kingdom competitors on the rules and dangers of the Global Youth Researcher Competition, then led them toward Beautiful Country with Lady Bat, whose name was Yuan Fu.
• Yuan Fu gave Ye Bai a stack of Space Talismans before Great King Vultures attacked the transport plane and tore open its cabin.
• Ye Bai identified the Great King Vulture’s tiny white plume as its fatal weakness, while Lady Bat prepared to evacuate the students if the plane failed.
• A masked man called Doctor Beak revealed that he had directed the vulture attack to eliminate the Flame Kingdom team, as Meg and the students sheltered behind the White-Haired Bat’s spatial barrier.

The White Tiger Marshal rescued Ye Bai and the researchers from a Great King Vulture attack, and their transport plane reached Beautiful Country safely. At New Covenant University, Ye Bai earned assessment points by answering a genetics question and began discussing Blue Sky Turtle reproduction with Professor Jubino.

• The White Tiger Marshal destroyed the Great King Vultures, killed Doctor Beak, and used the Thunder Giant to repair and protect the transport plane.
• Vice Principal Meg briefed the researchers on the competition, while Ye Bai learned system information about the Essence of the Sage, the competitors’ combat challenges, and Night King’s plans.

Ye Bai arrived at the Sail Hotel for the Global Researcher Competition, where he discovered that the Beautiful Country organizers were spying on him and encountered a mischievous Demon Bear Cub. After Nether Wolf defeated the cub and the Sunflower Immortal enslaved it, Ye Bai questioned it about secret ways to leave the hotel unnoticed.

• Ye Bai suggested that Doctor Jubino's Blue Sky Turtles might be dying because their carefully controlled environment was too clean, and Doctor Jubino invited him to visit his research base after the competition.
• Angelina escorted Ye Bai to the presidential suite and secretly arranged for Hidden Wing Insects and Recording Horn Grasses to spy on him, but the Myriad Changes Butterfly's Barrier disabled the Hidden Wing Insects.
• A Demon Bear Cub used a Magic Array to sneak into Ye Bai's suite, where Ye Bai identified it and discovered its skills and possible evolutions with the Eye of Truth.
• When the Demon Bear Cub grew to two meters and threatened Ye Bai, Nether Wolf beat it until it submitted, and a sunflower mark showed that the Sunflower Immortal had enslaved it.
• Ye Bai asked the Demon Bear Cub for a way to leave the hotel without being watched, and the cub flew toward the bathroom without revealing its plan.

Ye Bai entered New Covenant University through a secret passage, learned that the Fighting Wolf was nearing death, and began considering how to reach the university archives. Meanwhile, the Glorious Angel received orders to find the Philosopher's Stone essence, which the angels needed to weaken Blue Star's Crystal Wall.

• Ye Bai electrocuted the Whitening Fish, then followed the Demon Bear Cub through a secret passage and encountered a Water Rabbit.
• The Glorious Angel reported that Dr. William and the Philosopher's Stone formula had disappeared, and the Authority Angel ordered him to find the essence to help breach Blue Star's Crystal Wall.
• Disguised among New Covenant University's researchers, Ye Bai learned that the Fighting Wolf was dying and that its research records would be sealed in the archives.
• Ye Bai returned to the presidential suite, where Butler Alice served dinner, and he praised the Whitening Tuna after discovering the pine nut sauce contained aged Mediterranean black vinegar.

Ye Bai reviewed new intelligence about New Covenant University while preparing for the Global Youth Research Competition. At Southern Heaven Gate Fortress, the Molten Dragon Turtle erupted in fury and launched an assault, prompting Zhang Dashan and Zhang Lingxue to lead the defenders into battle.

• Ye Bai enjoyed Alice's Crab Jelly, Gala Crocodile meat, and Lemon Sea Salt Cake, then read intelligence about angels, a hidden laboratory, and Dementors at New Covenant University.
• Ye Bai bathed while his pet beasts waited on him, and he planned to retrieve Dr. William's Philosopher's Stone essence later without alerting anyone.
• The Molten Dragon Turtle awoke, enraged that humans had taken its sacrifices, and unleashed a volcanic eruption and a flood of magma against Southern Heaven Gate Fortress.

• Angelina sent Ye Bai more complicated cases, but he diagnosed and treated them quickly, impressing Doctor Jubino.
• Over the three-day first round, Ye Bai treated 121 pet beasts and appeared likely to have earned the highest ranking.

Ye Bai received two pet beasts for the second-round cultivation assessment and began testing a new evolution path for Explosive Stone using Frozen Rock. He planned to cultivate Explosive Stone and Lily Rose, while learning that Explosive Stone’s accumulated fire energy caused it to self-destruct and that Flame Kingdom had found a way to suppress its explosions.

• The judges announced that the second round would last half a month and allow participants to cultivate two randomly assigned pet beasts, with a confirmed new Evolution Path granting direct advancement.
• Ye Bai reviewed his intelligence and considered the new paths for Explosive Stone and Lily Rose, while worrying that Storm Dragon and other Strange Beasts would threaten New York City in a month.
• Ye Bai chose Lily Rose and Explosive Stone, prompting Angelina to assume he had made a poor choice because Beautiful Country had already studied both species extensively.
• Explosive Stone and Lily Rose arrived at Laboratory 81, and Ye Bai placed Frozen Rock beside Explosive Stone to cool it and reduce its fiery glow.
• Ye Bai explained his new experiment to Explosive Stone, which agreed, and he recognized that the pet beast’s excess fire energy could make it explode to death.

Ye Bai used the second round of the Global Researcher Competition to prepare Explosive Stone for its Ice Fire Giant Rock evolution and care for Lily Rose, while other researchers and viewers mistook his methods for slacking. As he waited for Explosive Stone to evolve, Molten Dragon Turtle fell to the Flame Kingdom’s forces at Southern Heaven Gate Fortress.

• The host announced that researchers advancing to the third round could take home the pet beasts they had raised, and Ye Bai decided to make full use of Beautiful Country’s resources.
• Ye Bai chose the Ice Fire Rock—Ice Fire Giant Rock evolution path for Explosive Stone and applied for resources to raise both it and Lily Rose.
• Ye Bai kept Explosive Stone in a cold laboratory with Cold Ice Rock and ice-element treasures, while moving Lily Rose to a separate laboratory and supplying it with life-energy treasures.
• Judges, viewers, and Meg worried that Ye Bai was neglecting the competition, but Su Qingxian explained that he was carefully preparing Explosive Stone to evolve.
• At Southern Heaven Gate Fortress, Hellfire struck Molten Dragon Turtle down, and Sunflower Immortal’s Doppelgangers began clearing the battlefield.

Ye Bai evolved Explosive Stone into Ice Fire Rock and Lily Rose into Life Rose during the second-round assessment, impressing the judges and securing high scores. As the third round began, Angelina plotted to kill or recruit Ye Bai, and Principal Meg discovered that communications from the competition grounds had been blocked.

• Ye Bai maintained a balance between ice and fire as he supplied Explosive Stone with evolution materials, while Doctor Jubino watched in anticipation.
• Explosive Stone evolved into Ice Fire Rock, revealing a new Evolution Path and prompting Doctor Jubino to praise Ye Bai and allocate resources to him.

• Angelina blocked communications around the competition grounds and planned to kill Ye Bai or force him to work for Beautiful Country.
• Ye Bai used his Bracelet to form temporary contracts with Ice Fire Rock and Life Rose as the second-round results were announced and the third round began.

After developing two new Evolution Paths and advancing to the third round, Ye Bai learned that the assessment would be a half-month survival contest on a deserted island. The contestants boarded a suspicious living jet, and Ye Bai realized that even reaching the island safely might be part of the test.

• Ai Dongfang was eliminated after failing to discover a new Evolution Path, and Principal Meg worried that he would not recover from the blow.
• Doctor Jubino examined Ice Fire Rock’s balanced ice and fire energy and decided to seek Ye Bai’s help after the assessment.
• The host announced that contestants would survive on a resource-rich island, while Doctor Jubino explained the rules for earning scores through survival, resources, Strange Beasts, and red dots from defeating others.
• A huge living jet carried Ye Bai and the other contestants toward the island, and Captain Wells announced a one-hour rest before their arrival.
• Ye Bai noticed the jet had no life jackets or parachutes and concluded that landing safely was part of the assessment.

Ye Bai discovered that Thousand Changes Silkworm's Silk Thread could help contestants descend, but chose to use Ice Fire Rock to crash into the sea and defeat the Strange Beasts below. After gaining points and healing his injuries with Life Rose, he headed inland to search for medicinal herbs while Demon Bear Cub and Water Rabbit secretly searched for him.

• Ye Bai found Thousand Changes Silkworm's Silk Thread hidden in the plane and kept it rather than telling the other contestants.
• The captain announced that the plane was disintegrating above the deserted island, beginning the third round of the assessment.
• Ye Bai used Ice Fire Rock to accelerate his fall and strike the sea, killing many water-element Strange Beasts and earning points.
• Ye Bai's Sunflower Immortal's Doppelganger absorbed the blood in the sea, while Life Rose healed Ye Bai's minor injuries.
• Demon Bear Cub and Water Rabbit revealed that they had secretly boarded the plane and began searching the island for Ye Bai.
• Ye Bai chose to leave the beach and take Ice Fire Rock and Life Rose into the forest to find precious medicinal herbs.

Ye Bai gathered coconuts and Deep Sea Anglerfish meat, then found an unconscious Divine Conch and had Water Rabbit seal its Instant Movement skill. Demon Bear Cub and Water Rabbit revealed why they had sneaked onto the island and pointed Ye Bai toward a Killer Bee nest, where he planned to hunt the Queen Bee.

• Ye Bai collected coconuts and harvested Deep Sea Anglerfish meat for food.
• Ye Bai used Appraisal Technique on a gemstone-covered Divine Conch and learned about its powerful abilities and evolution paths.
• Demon Bear Cub and Water Rabbit appeared, and Water Rabbit sealed Divine Conch's Instant Movement so Ye Bai could store it in his Bracelet.
• Demon Bear Cub explained that it and Water Rabbit had left New Covenant University to search for Emerald Turtles and their Purification Water, but it did not know where any were.
• Demon Bear Cub told Ye Bai where to find Killer Bees, and Ye Bai decided to hunt their Queen Bee for Potent Toxin Emperor Butterfly's evolution.

Ye Bai defeated the Killer Bee King and seized the swarm’s honey while the Storm Dragon awakened and ordered its forces to attack Beautiful Country. Intelligence officer Angelina suppressed warnings about an approaching superstorm to endanger rival researchers, and the chapter ended as Water Rabbit sensed something near the hive.

• Water Rabbit killed a Killer Bee Larva, prompting the enraged Killer Bee King to attack Ye Bai.
• Ice Fire Rock froze and shattered the Killer Bee King, and Doctor Jubino watched the fight on a hidden camera.
• The Storm Dragon awakened, ordered its subordinates to spread fear in Beautiful Country, and sent them toward its cities.
• Julie’s team forecast a powerful hurricane approaching New York City, but Angelina ordered the warning suppressed to put researchers at risk.
• Ye Bai found the Killer Bee honey, let Life Rose absorb some, and caught Demon Bear Cub bathing and gorging itself in it before it was punished.
• The hive shook, and Water Rabbit suddenly dashed outside after sensing something.

Ye Bai helped the Water Rabbit defeat the Ruby Turtle doppelganger and earn the Emerald Turtle’s Purification Liquid, which the Water Rabbit began analyzing. The Emerald Turtle disappeared before Ye Bai could recruit it, while Ye Bai planned to return later and pursue his next objectives.

• Ye Bai stored the Honey, and the Life Rose bound the disappointed Demon Bear Cub and led it away as the Emerald Turtle approached and ate the beehive.
• The Water Rabbit asked the Emerald Turtle for Purification Liquid, so the Emerald Turtle created a Ruby Turtle doppelganger to test it.
• The Ruby Turtle’s attacks wore down the Water Rabbit until Ye Bai offered to command it, and the Water Rabbit accepted his help.
• Ye Bai guided the Water Rabbit to use Rain Dance to sense the Ruby Turtle underground, then strike its predicted path with high-pressure water shots.
• The Water Rabbit shattered the Ruby Turtle and received a drop of Purification Liquid, which its cells began analyzing.
• The Emerald Turtle burrowed away before Ye Bai could recruit it, and Ye Bai decided he could return later with Space Pelican’s spatial imprint.

Ye Bai discovered that Life Rose could force Wisteria Flowers to bloom and harvest their valuable buds, then used the flowers’ poisonous scent to kill a herd of White-Haired Wild Bulls. As night approached, he prepared to find shelter while the organizers discussed the high number of contestants eliminated.

• The Water Rabbit possessed the Demon Bear Cub to conceal itself and analyze the Purification Liquid, while the Cub’s enhanced senses detected a floral scent in its honey.
• Ye Bai identified the scent as coming from toxic Wisteria Buds and lamented that the flowers would take three days to bloom.
• Life Rose made the Wisteria Flowers bloom instantly and harvested pristine buds, which Ye Bai stored in his Bracelet.
• A herd of White-Haired Wild Bulls ate the unbloomed buds and died, allowing Ye Bai to claim their hides, horns, and meat.
• Life Rose absorbed the flowers’ fragrance after it made Ye Bai drowsy, and Ye Bai set out to find shelter before nightfall.
• The judges discussed the contestants’ high elimination rate, but Doctor Jubino’s colleague reminded them that the assessment’s theme was elimination.

Doctor Jubino refused to evacuate the deserted-island contestants despite an approaching hurricane from Storm Dragon Tarnos, while Angelina sent agents to kill Ye Bai and exploit his disappearance. Ye Bai learned of the plot through the system, but the agents found his cave and attacked, leaving him facing Poison Widow, Giant York, and a dwarf agent.

• A meteorological report warned Doctor Jubino that Storm Dragon Tarnos was reviving and its hurricane could reach the island within ten to fifteen days, but he kept the competition on schedule.
• Angelina ordered her three agents to find and kill Ye Bai, planning to blame his disappearance on Storm Dragon Tarnos.
• Ye Bai camped in a hidden cave, fed his Pet Beasts, and learned from the system that the agents had tracked him and that the forest treasure chest was a trap.
• Poison Widow, Giant York, and the dwarf agent blasted open Ye Bai's cave entrance and claimed their signal blocker had disabled his Bracelet's protection and teleportation.
• Poison Widow prepared to attack Ye Bai with a tornado of Venomous Mosquitoes.

Ye Bai evaded three agents hunting him on the deserted island while preparing to reach the Ice Fire Spring before the Storm Dragon arrived. Giant York finally cornered him with two pet beasts, but the chapter ended amid a massive impact, with Poison Widow and Earth Escape Jack fearing their attack had exposed their conspiracy.

• Black Widow, Giant York, and Earth Escape Jack argued over who would kill Ye Bai, allowing him to leave the cave unnoticed.
• Ye Bai planned to use the agents' surveillance screen to summon the Myriad Changes Butterfly and eliminate them quietly, but Earth Escape Jack caught up and attacked with a Mud Doll Giant; Ye Bai escaped using Space Pelican.
• Doctor Jubino realized Ye Bai had disappeared from the surveillance footage and suspected the agents had activated a screening device, while he and Principal Meg failed to warn the contestants because Angelina's people intercepted their messages.
• Ye Bai sensed the Storm Dragon approaching and decided to go to the Ice Fire Spring, while Giant York summoned Titan Kong and a Fighting Beetle to trap him.
• Titan Kong struck the ground where Ye Bai stood, causing a huge tremor; Poison Widow and Earth Escape Jack worried that Giant York's noisy attack would reveal their plot.

Angelina received orders from the Star Spirit King to kill Ye Bai while the Beautiful Country let the Storm Dragon wreak havoc. Ye Bai killed Giant York’s Titan Kong, then faced Earth Escape Jack, who unleashed the Earth Escape Earthworm’s gravity before Ye Bai’s six Myriad Changes Butterflies shattered it; Earth Escape Jack prepared to reveal his true strength.

• The Star Spirit King reprimanded Angelina for the agents’ attack on the international competition, ordered her to eliminate Ye Bai, and said the Beautiful Country would let the Storm Dragon vent in exchange for souls.
• Ye Bai returned to fight Giant York and killed Titan Kong, leaving Giant York furious while Poison Widow assessed Ye Bai’s strength.
• Earth Escape Jack tricked Giant York and Poison Widow with Earth Escape Earthworm Sub-bodies, then pursued Ye Bai alone near the Ice Fire Spring.
• Earth Escape Jack used his Earth Escape Earthworm’s gravity skill, but Ye Bai summoned six Myriad Changes Butterflies that transformed into Five Elements Butterflies and broke the gravity.
• Earth Escape Jack removed a needle from the crown of his head, releasing white steam as he prepared to unleash his true strength.
