Chapter Summaries

Ji Xinghuo discovered that Myriad Stellar Eye showed unusually high fusion success rates for many Ability Seeds, leading him to suspect that an Unclassed Esper path might suit him best. He bought and swallowed a Life Spirit Seed, then began fusing with Rotating Magnetic Field in a cultivation room.

• Ji Xinghuo decided to fuse with Rotating Magnetic Field and left his hotel the next morning to prepare before escaping.
• At Star Warrior, Ji Xinghuo examined numerous Ability Seeds and found that Myriad Stellar Eye gave him success rates mostly above 75%, including 95% for Flash Step.
• Ji Xinghuo wondered whether the success rates reflected compatibility and whether he should develop as an Unclassed Esper rather than follow a Class Template.
• Ji Xinghuo bought a Life Spirit Seed for eight million Asia Yuan and swallowed it to gain an additional Ability Seed fusion.
• After the Life Spirit Seed was absorbed, Ji Xinghuo swallowed Rotating Magnetic Field, and the fusion began minutes later.

Ji Xinghuo fused the Rotating Magnetic Field, transforming his body and awakening the ability to sense magnetic fields across a wide area. After discovering his Stellar Force had risen sharply, he spent all his remaining Spirit Source Energy on the new ability.

• Ji Xinghuo underwent the Rotating Magnetic Field fusion, drawing in Ether energy as currents engulfed him and transformed his body.
• Ji Xinghuo discovered he could sense magnetic fields within three hundred meters and identified phones, people, Aberrants, and the Evil Spirit by their magnetic signatures.
• Ji Xinghuo tested the Rotating Magnetic Field and found that activating it sharply increased his strength and magnetic field intensity.
• Ji Xinghuo checked the Myriad Stellar Eye interface and found his Stellar Force had increased by 41 points while the new ability required 359 Spirit Source Energy to upgrade.
• Ji Xinghuo invested all 100 of his remaining Spirit Source Energy into the Rotating Magnetic Field.

• Ji Xinghuo firmly declined the offers, and Yang Tianqing let the matter go with a cooler attitude as Ji Xinghuo left the Archery Hall.

Ji Xinghuo secretly traveled from Chang'an to Chaka Star Gate, evading the Sharp Sword Bureau's surveillance. After exploring the fortress and observing its many Aberrants, he reached the Star Gate but paused before entering to take care of something first.
