Chapter Summaries

Chief Luo declared Xiao Han Invincible at the Same Level, prompting tens of thousands of martial artists to covet his treasures and close in on him. Chief Luo refused to help, leaving Xiao Han to face the overwhelming challenge alone.

• Chief Luo said anyone at Xiao Han’s realm could challenge him, and the claim made many martial artists hostile.

• The stronger martial artists formed an encirclement, anticipating a massacre whether Xiao Han lived or died.

Xiao Han killed a Mysterious Earth Realm Fourth Level elder, then faced a massive crowd of martial artists drawn by rumors that he possessed a Chaos Divine Artifact. He unleashed his martial soul’s ice abilities to freeze and bombard the attackers, leaving the grove devastated.

Xiao Han defeated the martial artists who tried to seize his treasures, killed Qian Buping, and frightened the surviving crowd into letting him pass toward Flame City.

After killing Qian Buping, Xiao Han realized his Flame Eight Extremes Collapse had grown stronger and learned that he had comprehended Earth Attribute profound meaning. He used a Lottery Ticket and drew the experience-type divine song “Little Apple,” leaving him pressured by the system to sing it in the crowded inn before its one-hour effect expired.
