• Su Xiao activated stronger air filtration after the Bilumark Alchemy Testing Ground’s poison gas began draining his HP, and Bubutney appeared but suffered only minor true damage from it.

• Su Xiao watched the Cave Dweller Guards feed on a scalded laborer and decided he had to get past them.

The chapter ended with Su Xiao and Sherlock agreeing to escape together using Little Emperor’s imperial bloodline.

• Su Xiao rode Bubutney away from Sherlock’s explosion and hurried toward the coordinates, wary of a terrifying creature awakening at the testing ground.

After resting and enhancing his attributes, he headed to the Trading Market to find a final Blue-quality blade weapon for Dragon Slayer Flash.

• Su Xiao completed Main Quest 2, but before returning, he detonated a Micro Bomb on Little Emperor inside the approaching Bullhead Lord and damaged its core, earning a choice of rewards.

• Su Xiao relaxed beside the sleeping Bubutney and played a puzzle game at his stall.

Su Xiao sold the Ice Domain Prince Token and bought the Solomon Decapitator, whose low-health Stamina bonus would help protect him in his next Derivative World. Back in his Exclusive Room, he used Supreme Sharpness to feed the sword to the Dragon Slayer Flash, which began transforming from blue quality toward purple.
