Chapter Summaries

After Xiao Chen killed Li Kun and his companions, he forced his way up Seventh Peak to confront Wan Ziang and threatened a Mountain Challenge. Xu Zhenjiang took Wan Ziang to meet him, then confronted Wan Ziang about arranging the killings and warned him that the Academy Head would punish him.

• Xu Zhenhai ordered Seventh Peak fighters under twenty-three to stop Xiao Chen as he climbed the mountain, furious that Xiao Chen had demanded justice for A'Wu and threatened a Mountain Challenge.

• Xu Zhenjiang pointed out that a speck of golden light remained inside the lava, horrifying a Seventh Peak instructor.

Xiao Chen survived Lin Mu’s repeated fire attacks, forcing the Seventh Peak to abandon the Mountain Challenge and allow the Ninth Peak group to leave. When Zhang Nianfeng urged him to go, Xiao Chen refused because the Seventh Peak had not handed over Wan Ziang.

• Xu Zhenjiang and the Seventh Peak instructors learned Xiao Chen’s identity and feared the consequences of killing him, leaving Xu Zhenjiang torn between opposing Huang Chenglong and letting Xiao Chen go.

• Qiongqi took human form and blasted Huang Chenglong away, shielding Xiao Chen from the four supreme powerhouses.
• Xu Zhenjiang retreated while Niu Qingtian watched, and Huang Shou stepped forward to face Qiongqi.
• Qiongqi admitted he was severely injured and said another guardian was watching from the heavens.
• Qiongqi pointed out Hong Chidao in the sky and roared for him to come down, but the others could not sense him.
• Huang Chenglong prepared to attack Qiongqi, then froze as a breeze passed and the lightning around him collapsed.
