Chapter Summaries

Ye Weiming and Ouyang Feng remained locked in a standoff aboard the Jin ship, each wary of the other's attacks and options. Ouyang Feng tried to seize Qin Hongshang on a nearby vessel, but an unseen master struck him back, leaving Ye Weiming and Dao Mei uncertain who had intervened.

• Ye Weiming threatened to blow up the ship and use Ah Hong to escape while killing Ouyang Feng's allies, but Ouyang Feng refused to back down.
• Ye Weiming realized he had only three Thunderclap Fire Bombs, too few to destroy the ship, and the two men continued watching each other for an opening.
• Thunderclap Hall's ship drew within five zhang, with Qin Hongshang and the rescued singing girls aboard, and Dao Mei explained she had not warned Ye Weiming because doing so could have distracted him.
• Ouyang Feng leaped toward Qin Hongshang to take her hostage, dodged Ye Weiming's Zhongchong Sword, and reached for her neck.
• An unseen attacker pierced Ouyang Feng's right palm and sent him flying backward, then laughed from below the ships.

Zhou Botong arrived aboard a shark and won his wager with Ouyang Feng, then gave Ye Weiming the right to claim the debt after Ye Weiming impressed him with a Shangtong Mobius Cube. Ye Weiming confronted Ouyang Feng and demanded he choose between enduring one hundred forehead flicks or dying.

• Zhou Botong rode a shark to the ship and reunited with Guo Jing, then accused Ouyang Feng of poisoning the sharks and losing their wager.
• Zhou Botong proved that one shark had survived because Ouyang Ke had wedged a stick in its mouth, and Ye Weiming persuaded him to hand over the wager in exchange for a Shangtong Mobius Cube.
• Dao Mei traded Ye Weiming several Shangtong Mobius Cubes for items dropped by Hattori Senjun, and Ye Weiming showed Zhou Botong how to solve one.
• Ye Weiming restored the scrambled cube and won Zhou Botong's wager, prompting Zhou Botong to give him the right to assign Ouyang Feng a task.
• Ouyang Feng tried to dismiss Ye Weiming and leave, but Ye Weiming demanded that he choose between one hundred forehead flicks and death.

Ye Weiming secured a Black Toad Token from Ouyang Feng and joined Hong Qigong, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Zhou Botong, and Tianwang Gaidihu aboard Thunderclap Hall’s ship. He stabilized Hong Qigong’s injuries, received the Three-Colored Lotus Seeds, and went on deck to hear the rescued singing girls perform.

• Ouyang Feng avoided Ye Weiming’s demands by giving him a Black Toad Token that could summon him to honor his promise, then withdrew with Ouyang Ke.
• Ye Weiming brought Hong Qigong, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Zhou Botong, and Tianwang Gaidihu aboard Thunderclap Hall’s ship after Ouyang Feng’s camp stopped blocking the way.
• Hong Qigong explained that Ye Weiming would have to do more work to receive his quest reward because obtaining the token had changed the world’s rules.
• Ye Weiming discovered he lacked the required skill level to cure Hong Qigong, so he used his healing methods to stabilize the old beggar instead.
• Ye Weiming received the Three-Colored Lotus Seeds and learned they could attack three different targets at once.
• Ye Weiming left the cabin to hear the rescued singing girls perform as the woman in red began singing.

Ye Weiming deduced that the vanished singer Xue Qianxun was a Super Master and received Thunderclap Hall’s quest rewards after helping defeat the Japanese Pirates. He left with five Thunderclap Fire Bombs and three Wisdom Fruits, while Dao Mei gained an incomplete Thunderclap Saber Technique.

• After Xue Qianxun sang and drank Ye Weiming’s wine, she introduced herself by name.
• The ship reached Hangzhou, and Hong Qigong, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Old Urchin departed toward Niu Family Village.
• Ye Weiming realized Xue Qianxun had left without being noticed and suspected she had repelled Ouyang Feng’s attack on Qin Hongshang.
• Qin Hongshang rewarded Dao Mei with an incomplete Thunderclap Saber Technique and explained that its full power required the Thunderclap Movement Technique and Thunderclap Saber.
• Qin Hongshang gave Ye Weiming five Thunderclap Fire Bombs and three Wisdom Fruits, each of which could increase his level by one up to level 100.

Ye Weiming considered the power of Wisdom Fruits, then met Dai Qiu Shang Lan to negotiate the sale of the Riverside Landscape Painting. With both sides bringing companions to strengthen their bargaining positions, the trade began without a price being set.

• Ye Weiming realized Wisdom Fruits could restore him during repeated level-ups and considered saving them for worthwhile battles.
• Dai Qiu Shang Lan contacted Ye Weiming to arrange a meeting in Kaifeng, and Ye Weiming left Dao Mei to pursue their Sun Moon Holy Cult plan.
• Ye Weiming met Dai Qiu Shang Lan and Gui Xinying at the post station, then summoned Sanyue as a bargaining counter.
• Sanyue arrived with Xiao Qiao and Mu Ran, and Ye Weiming formed a team with everyone and asked Dai Qiu Shang Lan to make an offer for the painting.
• Dai Qiu Shang Lan asked Ye Weiming to name his price, and Ye Weiming dismissed the idea of selling it for money.

Ye Weiming negotiated with Dai Qiu Shang Lan and Gui Xinying for the Riverside Landscape Painting, trading it for a Sanskrit Annotation manual and 600 gold. After sending Dao Mei intelligence about the rival players in her mission, he studied the manual and learned Sanskrit.

• Ye Weiming warned Mu Ran that the tea was poisoned and identified Gui Xinying’s Crimson Tail Scorpion Poison.
• Dai Qiu Shang Lan offered a Sanskrit Annotation manual for the Riverside Landscape Painting, and Ye Weiming negotiated with him and Gui Xinying.
• Ye Weiming and the others settled on the Sanskrit Annotation manual plus 600 gold in exchange for the painting.
• Ye Weiming sent Dao Mei details about Linghu Chong and Xiang Wentian’s four player allies and their progress finding the treasures.
• Ye Weiming studied the Sanskrit Annotation and learned the Sanskrit skill.

Ye Weiming joined Mu Ran, Sanyue, and Xiao Qiao on a quest to find an antidote for the injured Chu Xianglian. In Dali, he ran into Song Bingyi and asked the retired Beggar's Sect elder for help finding information.

• Ye Weiming learned that Mu Ran's Seven-Star Quest required finding Golden Wheel Temple's chief disciple and obtaining his secret antidote for Chu Xianglian.
• Mu Ran shared the quest with Ye Weiming, who joined the three women in Dali to search for clues.
• Ye Weiming asked Sanyue why she had not used Fei Yu's tracking skill, and she explained that they did not know the target's name.
• Song Bingyi appeared in Dali and asked Ye Weiming for food, so Ye Weiming gave him a roasted whole lamb.
• As Song Bingyi's wives and children gathered around the lamb, Ye Weiming asked him for information about the quest.

Ye Weiming and Mu Ran followed Song Bingyi’s clue to a pine forest west of Dali City, where they discovered an ambush. A ring of fire trapped them as flames rushed toward them, leaving their escape uncertain.

• Song Bingyi traded information about Foreign Monks near Dali City for roast lamb and chickens, directing Ye Weiming’s group to a western pine forest.
• Ye Weiming told Mu Ran, Xiao Qiao, and Sanyue that Song Bingyi could offer advanced martial arts quests to players with high Chivalry Points and the Hero Saint title.
• Ye Weiming assigned Xiao Qiao and Sanyue to wait in hiding while he and Mu Ran entered the forest to investigate.
• Ye Weiming noticed the forest was unnaturally silent and used a Steel Egg to sever a concealed rope, triggering a barrage of arrows.
• Ye Weiming and Mu Ran found themselves surrounded by a rapidly spreading ring of fire that blocked every route of escape.

Sanyue and Xiao Qiao were trapped outside the burning pine forest by Niu Zhichun and Golden Wheel Temple monks, who planned to kill them for a quest. Ye Weiming escaped the fire with Greatsword Mu Ran and received Niu Zhichun’s message revealing his double game and the location of hidden Foreign Monks.

• A group of Foreign Monks blocked Sanyue and Xiao Qiao’s retreat from the burning forest, and Niu Zhichun revealed that he had planned the fire trap to target players on a quest.
• Niu Zhichun learned Ye Weiming was inside the flames, then attacked Xiao Qiao while Laba and the other monks attacked Sanyue.
• Niu Zhichun told the monks he had summoned reinforcements, but secretly sent Ye Weiming a message admitting his scheme and explaining that he was going easy on the attackers.
• Ye Weiming escaped the fire aboard a Two-Person Flying Chair with Greatsword Mu Ran and received Niu Zhichun’s message identifying the hidden Foreign Monks.

Niu Zhichun betrayed the Golden Wheel Temple monks and helped Xiao Qiao and Sanyue defeat them. Laba tried to flee, but Ye Weiming stopped him with four flying swords, and a petite girl carrying a greatsword arrived to face him.

• Niu Zhichun decided that he could not defeat Ye Weiming, so he secretly helped the others and sold out the Golden Wheel Temple monks.
• Xiao Qiao steadily wore down Laba with Twin Swords Fusion while Sanyue used Cloud Dragon Nine Apparitions to evade and defeat the monks surrounding her.
• Niu Zhichun's help made Sanyue's fight easier, and within five minutes only three monks remained.
• Laba realized Niu Zhichun might have betrayed them and fled, but he stopped when Ye Weiming's Bojun Golden Sword landed in his path.
• Ye Weiming's Dragon Mark Sword, Golden Light Sword, and Invisible Sword joined the Bojun Golden Sword, and a petite girl descended with a greatsword to confront Laba.

Ye Weiming's team killed Laba while staging a convincing fight with Niu Zhichun, who revealed his seven-star mission to recover stolen scriptures and earn the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. After Niu Zhichun looted a modest skill fragment, Ye Weiming gave it to Mu Ran and led the party onward to find Gelu.

• Ye Weiming and Niu Zhichun pretended to oppose each other while Mu Ran, Xiao Qiao, and Sanyue joined forces to kill Laba.
• Niu Zhichun joined Ye Weiming's party and shared his mission to recover the stolen Yoga Sutra scriptures and obtain the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.
• Ye Weiming explained that the Golden Wheel Temple was neutral and argued that the team should continue its mission despite uncertainty about Chu Xianglian.
• Niu Zhichun looted Laba's corpse and obtained an advanced Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill fragment and 233 gold.
• Ye Weiming awarded the fragment to Mu Ran and told Niu Zhichun to lead the team to Gelu.

Ye Weiming and his companions learned that Gelu and the Foreign Monks were hiding in Shenjie Temple, then prepared to weaken them with poison. Niu Zhichun gave Ye Weiming a Three Corpses Brain God Pill and its antidote, and the group approached the temple disguised as vendors.

• Ye Weiming questioned Niu Zhichun, then collected the Foreign Monks’ bodies and burned them with the evidence in the pine forest.
• Niu Zhichun suggested poisoning the monks’ well, but Ye Weiming rejected the plan because it could cost Niu Zhichun extra Chivalry Points.
• Ye Weiming decided to poison the Foreign Monks’ food and explained that his prepared poison could weaken most of them, though Gelu might resist it.
• Niu Zhichun gave Ye Weiming a Three Corpses Brain God Pill and its antidote, which he had received after rescuing Ren Yingying near Luoyang.
• The group finished gathering supplies and headed toward Shenjie Temple; an old man and a young man approached the temple carrying shoulder poles and calling out their wares.

Ye Weiming and his companions poisoned the Foreign Monks at Shenjie Temple by posing as vendors, then attacked the helpless monks. Gelu ambushed and killed Xiao Qiao, and Ye Weiming unleashed Dragon's Might against him.

• Ye Weiming, Mu Ran, Sanyue, and Xiao Qiao lured the Foreign Monks into buying poisoned buns and pears while disguised as vendors.
• Two Foreign Monks bought all the food and carried the vendors' poles into Shenjie Temple, where the poison soon incapacitated the monks.
• The group returned to the temple, and Mu Ran attacked the monk who had flirted with her while Ye Weiming and the others killed the helpless Foreign Monks.
• A monk returning from a hunt was struck by Ye Weiming's One Yang Finger and killed, and the group continued dispatching the incapacitated monks.
• Niu Zhichun warned the group that Gelu was missing from the meditation room, but Gelu emerged from among the fallen monks and killed Xiao Qiao with a sudden strike.
• Ye Weiming used Dragon's Might against Gelu in fury over Xiao Qiao's death.

Ye Weiming tested Gelu’s weaknesses while fighting the Level 121 BOSS and discovered a flaw that left Gelu briefly unable to dodge. He announced that he had figured out the weakness, but the chapter ended before he explained it.

• Gelu overwhelmed Ye Weiming, Sanyue, and Mu Ran with his powerful palms, while Ye Weiming suspected Gelu’s severe injuries and Cold Poison concealed a weakness.
• Ye Weiming switched between sword and palm attacks, dealing Crushing Damage and staggering Gelu, but his strikes failed to trigger Muscle Severing.
• As Gelu attacked Ye Weiming, the Blood-Draining Sunset Sword flew in from behind and struck between Gelu’s legs.
• Gelu froze briefly before the sword hit, then screamed and threw it aside, prompting Ye Weiming to say he had found Gelu’s weakness.

Ye Weiming exploited Gelu’s recurring stiffness to stun and kill him with a devastating sword strike. The kill made Ye Weiming, Sanyue, and Mu Ran permanent enemies of Golden Wheel Temple, and Ye Weiming accepted the feud without concern.

• Ye Weiming realized Gelu’s internal injury caused periodic stiffness and told Sanyue and Mu Ran to keep their distance when it happened.
• Ye Weiming advised Niu Zhichun to stay out of the fight and rejoin after Gelu died, but Niu Zhichun left the party.
• When Gelu stiffened, Ye Weiming struck him with a Golden Lotus Seed and sealed his acupoints.
• Ye Weiming used Heavenly Demon Disintegration to kill Gelu and cleave his body and the temple wall in two.
• The system announced Gelu’s permanent death and declared Ye Weiming, Sanyue, and Mu Ran sworn enemies of Golden Wheel Temple.
• Ye Weiming told Sanyue that they should accept the feud and could try to destroy the sect if it caused trouble in the Central Plains.

Ye Weiming’s party defeated Gelu, and Niu Zhichun looted Gelu’s corpse, obtaining a fragment of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, a Phantom Divine Bow, Sky Feather Arrows, and gold. After recovering from his injuries, Ye Weiming collected insights from Gelu’s remains, leaving the party with a valuable martial art fragment but disappointing loot for everyone else.

• Ye Weiming dismissed his teammates’ worries about the Golden Wheel Temple and asked them to finish off the helpless elite monsters and loot Gelu’s corpse.
• Sanyue and Mu Ran refused to touch Gelu’s grotesquely censored corpse, so Ye Weiming assigned the looting to Niu Zhichun.
• Niu Zhichun looted the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill Fragment, the Phantom Divine Bow, Sky Feather Arrows, and 2,333 gold, prompting Ye Weiming to complain about Niu Zhichun’s cursed hands.
• Ye Weiming recovered from his internal injuries using healing arts, a healing pill, and the Dragon Mark Sword.
• Ye Weiming placed Gelu’s reassembled body in a White Jade Coffin and gained Internal Skill, Fist and Palm, Archery, and Sanskrit Insights.

Ye Weiming processed the spoils from Gelu and Laba, using them to greatly improve his martial arts and Sanskrit. After arranging to sell the Phantom Divine Bow and Sky Feather Arrows to Fei Yu, he proposed that the group rest in Archstone Village before finding Chu Xianglian the next morning.

• Niu Zhichun found Huilong Powder in the hidden chamber of Gelu's meditation room, while Xiao Qiao returned from the resurrection point.
• Ye Weiming offered Fei Yu the Phantom Divine Bow and Sky Feather Arrows, and Fei Yu eagerly agreed to negotiate for them.
• Ye Weiming used the bosses' insights to boost his internal skill proficiency and improve One Yang Finger and Zhongchong Sword.
• Ye Weiming raised One Yang Finger to Level 10, unlocking Midas Touch, which increased its power and doubled its acupoint-sealing and healing effects.
• Ye Weiming used the Sanskrit Insights to raise his Sanskrit to Level 6, then suggested the group rest in Archstone Village and set out for Chu Xianglian the next morning.

Ye Weiming and the others found the injured Chu Xianglian beneath Thousand-Buddha Cliff and gave her an improved antidote. Chu Xianglian offered a follow-up quest in exchange for borrowing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill manual, leaving Ye Weiming wary of her request.

• Ye Weiming used Ah Huang and Chu Xianglian’s map to locate her in a ruined temple beneath Thousand-Buddha Cliff.
• After Chu Xianglian finished healing, Mu Ran introduced the group and handed her the antidote Ye Weiming had refined into a pill.
• Chu Xianglian swallowed the pill, recovered some color, and offered a follow-up quest so she could combine its reward with the original quest’s reward.
• Chu Xianglian asked to borrow the incomplete Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill manual for one day and swore by the Heavenly Dao to return it intact.
• Ye Weiming grew displeased at Chu Xianglian’s request for the manual.

Ye Weiming and his party let Chu Xianglian borrow Niu Zhichun's Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill manual, then returned to claim their rewards after a day of training. When Ye Weiming accepted Chu Xianglian's offer of a sparring trial, she immediately vanished and launched a vicious sneak attack.

• Niu Zhichun lent Chu Xianglian his sealed Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill manual, and she modified the party's quest rewards.
• Niu Zhichun discovered that Chu Xianglian's inner force was sinister, while Ye Weiming assured the party she was only an Iron Palm Gang traitor.
• The party compared their revised rewards and spent a day near Thousand-Buddha Cliff sparring and exchanging techniques.
• Chu Xianglian offered the party either their upgraded rewards or a trial that could multiply them, and Ye Weiming accepted the trial.
• Chu Xianglian vanished and struck at the back of Ye Weiming's head with a cold palm force.

Ye Weiming and his teammates confronted Chu Xianglian, who revealed herself as Hundred Losses, a Level 150 master of Xuanming Divine Palm. The fight left Ye Weiming badly injured and ended with Sanyue and Mu Ran frozen and gravely wounded by Hundred Losses.

• Chu Xianglian ambushed Ye Weiming with Xuanming Divine Palm, but he countered with One Yang Finger and briefly immobilized her as his teammates attacked.
• Chu Xianglian escaped their attacks, while Ye Weiming broke free of the ice and used the Divine Illumination Scripture to heal his shattered finger and damaged meridians.
• Chu Xianglian revealed that she had created Xuanming Divine Palm, confessed that she had exploited the quest rules, and gave her Daoist name as Hundred Losses.
• Hundred Losses's Level 150 boss attributes appeared, and Ye Weiming questioned why she had been fleeing from Gelu and the others despite her strength.
• Hundred Losses attacked Niu Zhichun and Xiao Qiao, then countered Sanyue and Mu Ran, freezing both and inflicting Crushing Damage.
