Chapter Summaries

After defeating the last Guardian Dragon, Xue Jing rested, tested his newly improved running speed, and used Consciousness Simulation to master a new form of Jing Li. He specialized Hidden Dragon Jing into Hidden Dragon Wishful Jing and emerged with a powerful technique that combined two opposing Hidden Dragon Style killing moves.

• Xue Jing reviewed the cost of his battle with the final Guardian Dragon, then slept beside its corpse to recover.
• Xue Jing raced toward his meeting point with Renia at roughly 200 kilometers per hour and found the Flame Cry Dragon corpse untouched.
• Xue Jing used Consciousness Simulation to separate the Supple Strength from his Jing Li True Dragon and repeatedly trained to control the shattered Purest Yang Jing Li.
• Xue Jing recombined the controlled Jing Li into a lively Purest Yang True Dragon and used it to merge Whirlwind Thunder with Shaking Starfire, destroying a simulated Flame Cry Dragon's head.
• Xue Jing awakened after gaining 2062 Hidden Dragon Jing EXP, and Hidden Dragon Jing specialized into Hidden Dragon Wishful Jing.

Xue Jing mastered Hidden Dragon Wishful Jing, developed a new killing move, and learned how formidable the Seventh City Circle’s martial artists were. Renia secretly approached him and agreed to discuss killing Dragon God, leaving her fate tied to Xue Jing’s promise to help her.

• Xue Jing discovered Hidden Dragon Wishful Jing let him freely produce pure hard or pure soft strength, then used the soft strength to knock a distant deer away without injuring it.
• Xue Jing combined Shaking Starfire and Whirlwind Thunder into the Killing Move—Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron and tested it by exploding the Flame Cry Dragon’s head.
• Mirror Person told Xue Jing that five of the Seven Great Titles, along with other major martial arts titles, belonged to the Seventh City Circle, then learned Xue Jing had trained for only two and a half months under Li Qi of Hidden Dragon Style.
• Renia secretly approached Xue Jing and said she had decided to help kill Dragon God because she wanted to escape the fate imposed on her as its shrine maiden.
• Xue Jing clasped Renia’s hand and promised not to betray her resolve, telling her to believe him.

Xue Jing brought Renia to This Country to summon the Dragon God, but found Other Country invading and overwhelmed its forces. After defeating the attackers, he declared himself king and demanded to know who agreed or objected.

• Xue Jing learned that Renia needed the Council of Elders' approval and a prepared altar to summon the Dragon God, so he asked her to take him to meet the elders.
• Xue Jing and Renia arrived near This Country and discovered Other Country attacking with dragons; Renia explained that the two countries had once been one nation.
• Xue Jing rushed into the battle and killed the invading dragons with his punches and Shadow Flame, then scattered the soldiers and Da Lu Kas on the ground.
• The people of This Country knelt before Xue Jing, and the First Elder approached to ask who he was.
• Xue Jing told Renia to translate as he declared himself king of This Country and asked who agreed and who objected.

Xue Jing prepared to kill the Pure-Blooded Dragon Species, recruiting Renia to attack it with Serpent Slayer Vanguard claws while gathering more Dragon Thunder Plants. The Dragon God Sacrifice summoned the true dragon from Rumbling Great Waterfall, and Xue Jing prepared to face it.

• Xue Jing ordered the Council of Elders to hold the Dragon God Sacrifice immediately and asked Renia to stab the summoned dragon with two Serpent Slayer Vanguard claws.
• Xue Jing told Renia the danger was real and that she could refuse, and Renia agreed after he said only she could help him kill the Dragon God.
• Xue Jing explained to the Mirror Person that he had gently encouraged Renia but had not lied or planned to force her.
• Xue Jing gathered about twenty-five Dragon Thunder Plant seeds and upgraded Plant Contract to Lv6 before returning to This Country.
• Renia and the ritual attendants began the sacrifice at noon, and a supersonic true dragon rose from Rumbling Great Waterfall.
• Xue Jing watched the Pure-Blooded Dragon Species approach and prepared to fight it.

Renia and Duo Di Ya wounded the Dragon God with silver-white claws, and Xue Jing entered the Water Curtain Cave to protect them and face the enraged dragon. The chapter ended as Xue Jing prepared to fight the true dragon with all his strength.

• The Dragon God carried Renia from the altar to the Rumbling Great Waterfall, while Xue Jing followed and waited outside the Water Curtain Cave.
• Renia reunited with her sister Duo Di Ya and told her about Xue Jing, the slain dragons, and the chance to win freedom.
• Renia and Duo Di Ya approached the sleeping Dragon God and drove silver-white claws into its head and armpit, triggering its furious roar.
• Xue Jing shielded the unconscious sisters inside a sphere of golden roots, then hurled them out of the cave to safety.
• Xue Jing confronted the wounded Dragon God, summoned golden plants and Black Flame, and prepared to fight without holding back.

Xue Jing weakened the True Dragon with the Serpent Slayer Vanguard, Shadow Flame, and the giant Buddha, then searched its bones for its hidden Core Organ. He finally implanted the last Serpent Slayer Vanguard claw into it, and the True Dragon’s Life Force began to collapse as Xue Jing regenerated and prepared to fight again.

• The True Dragon unleashed Dragon Thunder in the flooded Water Curtain Cave, but Xue Jing struck its chest with Black Heaven Blade: Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron and was thrown from the waterfall.
• The True Dragon’s spilled blood became a blood dragon that drained Xue Jing’s Life Force, but Xue Jing knocked it away and summoned a fifty-meter golden Buddha armed with a Shadow Flame Gatling gun.
• The giant Buddha battered the True Dragon, trapped it in a coffin of golden plants, and let Xue Jing burn away its flesh with Shadow Flame.
• Xue Jing and Mirror Person realized the True Dragon had hidden its Core Organ in a bone, so Xue Jing used the Serpent Slayer Vanguard claw to split its bones and dig through its marrow.
• Xue Jing found a soft lump inside a foreleg bone and stabbed it with the final intact claw, piercing the True Dragon’s Core Organ as its lightning blast destroyed half his body.
• Xue Jing regenerated his body with Life Fire, and Mirror Person confirmed the attack had worked as the True Dragon’s Life Force was annihilated.

After five hours of fighting, Xue Jing was drained by the True Dragon’s Dragon Horn Sakura ability and reduced to a skeleton, but Twin Life revived him. He unleashed Heaven's Edge Secret Art: Sakura Full Moon and killed the True Dragon.

• Xue Jing pursued the weakened True Dragon and carved wounds into its body while evading its attacks.
• Renia and Duo Di Ya survived the Dragon’s Roar, saw Xue Jing fighting the True Dragon, and returned toward This Country.
• The five-hour battle left Xue Jing nearly out of Life Force, while the True Dragon’s Dragon Horn Sakura recovered enough to release a sea of petals.
• The petals drained Xue Jing’s Life Force and flesh, leaving only his skeleton, and Mirror Person believed he had died.
• Twin Life revived Xue Jing at full strength, and he used Heaven's Edge Secret Art: Sakura Full Moon to kill the True Dragon.

After killing the Pure-Blooded Dragon Species, Xue Jing survived through Resurrection Armor and gained the Dragon Horn Divinity Skill, which let him wield Dragon Thunder and fly. He claimed the dragon’s egg for Renia and contracted the black branches on its horn, growing a Dragon Cherry tree.

• Xue Jing survived his fall after the Futu Blade sacrificed itself to create the Sakura Full Moon ultimate technique, and the Mirror Person explained that the dead dragon’s defeat had undone the Intersection Zone’s Reflected Fusion.
• Xue Jing received 2,568 Divinity, gained experience and skill levels, and unlocked Dragon Horn after killing the Pure-Blooded Dragon Species.
• Xue Jing activated Dragon Horn, discovered that its silver Dragon Thunder could manipulate gravity and destroy a boulder, then upgraded the skill to Lv4 and learned to fly at nearly thirty meters per second.
• The Mirror Person explained that the dragon’s corpse would nourish the land and produce an egg, and Xue Jing decided to give the egg to Renia.
• Xue Jing contracted the black branches wrapped around the dragon’s horn and grew them into a towering tree covered in silver-white cherry blossoms, naming it Dragon Cherry.

After Xue Jing broke the Roaring Waterfall’s Reflected Fusion, Void Blade’s team learned that he had defeated its Pure-Blooded Dragon Species and planned to meet him. Xue Jing tested Dragon Cherry’s life-draining and nourishing abilities, then used Dragon Thunder and Life Fire to accelerate his martial arts training.

• Staff members reported that the Roaring Waterfall’s Reflected Fusion had been lifted, and Doctor Shen and Void Blade’s team learned of Xue Jing’s success.
• Doctor Shen praised Xue Jing’s achievement and planned to have people meet him, while Void Blade doubted he could be persuaded to join White Crow.
• Xue Jing tested Dragon Cherry by draining a Vomit Beast and discovered that the plant could nourish him with absorbed Life Force.
• Xue Jing practiced the Shaking Armor Skill and used Dragon Thunder to temper his spleen while Life Fire healed the damage.
• Xue Jing noticed rapid gains in Health Preservation and Hidden Dragon Wishful Jing, then wondered whether Dragon Thunder could manipulate the body’s magnetic field.

Xue Jing returned to This Country after killing the Dragon God, saved Renia and Duo Di Ya from execution, and helped establish a new order with White Crow. He gave the sisters the Dragon God's egg and left the Intersection Zone, while Renia resolved to visit him in the present world and Duo Di Ya watched him go with unspoken longing.

• Xue Jing met White Crow's Lotus Leaf and directed her team to establish an outpost near This Country.

• Xue Jing gave Renia and Duo Di Ya the Dragon God's egg and left for the present world; Renia promised to seek him out, while Duo Di Ya hid her disappointment.

Xue Jing returned from the Intersection Zone after killing a Pure-Blooded Dragon Species and was promoted to White Crow external special consultant. He raced back to Maple City for his match, arriving dramatically by riding a hurled log onto the arena.

• Xue Jing emerged from the Intersection Zone, handed Doctor Shen his Recording Bracelet, and learned that White Crow would reward him with a God Relic.
• Void Blade told Xue Jing that he had been promoted to external special consultant, a rank above squadron commander, and Xue Jing chose to leave for Maple City immediately.
• On the flight back, Xue Jing spoke with Xue Wan, who told him that the Lion Saint Cult had appeared around Maple City.
• Xue Jing arrived late to Maple City and hurled a section of tree toward the gymnasium, then used Twin Birth Speed to ride it through the air.
• Xue Jing crashed the log into the arena and stepped down amid the dust, apologizing for being late to his match.

Xue Jing faced Du Mingluan in the U19 elimination match and defeated his Night King Style Secret Technique with a secret technique of his own. He secured his place in the finals, leaving the audience and fellow competitors stunned by the gap between them.

• The commentators announced Xue Jing's victory and place in the finals as the stadium erupted and the competitors watched in disbelief.

After winning his elimination match, Xue Jing learned the finals would take place in about a month and planned to use that time to strengthen his Old Martial Arts before facing Otogi Suzuka. He returned to Sunny City with Xue Wan and Maomao, unaware that Beili Lu and Baze Bu were tracking him, while drawing more Divinity from Xue Wan’s Sacred Mark.

• Jiang Siwei praised Xue Jing’s seemingly effortless knack for drawing attention and explained that the finals would begin after the regional elimination rounds and recovery period.
• Xue Jing considered whether a month of training would let him defeat Otogi Suzuka in Old Martial Arts and claim GOD-519 Blade.
• Xue Wan told Xue Jing that Yin Muhu was about to compete, and Yin Muhu later won a finals berth before leaving for Banyan City to train.
• Beili Lu and Baze Bu spotted Xue Jing and decided to follow him to the docks rather than act in the city center.
• Xue Jing and Xue Wan collected Maomao from Maple City University and returned to the Cloud Heron Hotel, where Xue Jing agreed to stay until New Year’s Day.
• Xue Jing touched Xue Wan’s Sacred Mark and extracted more than three hundred Divinity, bringing his total to 1566.

After returning from the Intersection Zone, Xue Jing told Ning Fengwan about the expedition, and they suspected the Lion Saint Cult might be tracking them for her Sacred Object. At Maple City Wharf Port, Xue Jing spotted two likely cult members and prepared to confront them.

• Xue Jing recounted the Intersection Zone expedition to Ning Fengwan, who noticed how often he encountered danger and wondered whether something was drawing trouble to him.
• Xue Jing and Ning Fengwan suspected Mr. An might have betrayed her and alerted the Lion Saint Cult, and they predicted the cult would make its move when they traveled by sea.
• Xue Jing spent several days training and accompanying Xue Wan before the three of them headed to Maple City Wharf Port to return to Sunny City.
• Xue Jing used his extraordinary vision to spot two figures he recognized as likely Lion Saint Cult members near the shoreline.
• Xue Jing pried a chunk of concrete from the ground and prepared to return as the Stone Throwing Immortal.

Xue Jing prepared improvised ammunition at Maple City Wharf and attacked the Lion Saint Cult envoys with a devastating aerial bombardment. He killed Beili Lu with a supersonic nail, while Baze Bu remained below.

• Xue Jing sent Xue Wan aboard the ship and left to deal with the Lion Saint Cult members watching the wharf.
• Xue Jing used Dragon Thunder to lift trash from a hidden beach, selecting stones, glass, nails, and other objects as ammunition while briefly making Maomao float.
• Xue Jing flew hundreds of meters above the wharf and bombarded Baze Bu and Beili Lu with stone fragments, then targeted their escape with glass shards.
• Baze Bu hurled Beili Lu toward Xue Jing, who accelerated a rusty nail through rings of lightning and magnetic force until it reached supersonic speed.
• The nail pierced Beili Lu's head and split his body apart, then continued downward and buried itself in the concrete.

Xue Jing defeated two Lion Saint Cult members in Maple City by transforming Dragon Sakura into a giant dragon and draining their life force, despite Beili Lu’s apparent resurrection ability. He returned to Sunny City with Xue Wan and discovered that witnesses had made him a local urban legend called the Jet-Black Dragon Knight.

• Xue Jing used a supersonic electromagnetic cannon to strike Beili Lu, who repeatedly resurrected under the War King Crown’s power.
• Xue Jing transformed a Dragon Sakura Seed into a giant Sakura Dragon, armored himself and Maomao with Shadow Flame, and pursued the Lion Saint Cult members through Maple City.

• Xue Jing and Xue Wan returned to Sunny City by cruise ship after a day at sea.
• Xue Wan showed Xue Jing a news report about Maple City’s Jet-Black Dragon Knight urban legend and recognized him and Maomao in a blurry photograph.

After returning home, Xue Jing visited the Hidden Dragon Dojo and reunited with his master and senior siblings, then met Wu Youqing, who promoted him to B-Rank Containment Officer. Wu Youqing recognized that he was not a Child of Divine Choice but something even more special, and Xue Jing admitted he could not hide it from her.

• Xue Jing returned home, told Xue Wan he was heading out, and went to the Hidden Dragon Dojo.
• Xue Jing found the dojo crowded with new students drawn by his reputation and reunited with Li Qi, Chen Fu Guang, and Meng Qing Jiao.
• Li Qi told Xue Jing that the dojo needed to move to a larger location and that he needed Xue Jing to resolve some problems.
• Xue Jing visited Wu Youqing at the library, where she gave him a B-Rank Containment Certificate and explained his promotion and increased salary.
• Wu Youqing told Xue Jing he was not a Child of Divine Choice but was even more special, and said she knew because she was divine chosen herself.
• Xue Jing acknowledged that he could not fool Wu Youqing and asked if he could ever beat her.

Wu Youqing warned Xue Jing that his rising fame and Old Martial Arts talent had made him a target for extremists in the Secret Martial Society, then explained why becoming a martial arts entrance exam proctor could protect him. Xue Jing was left considering the offer and wondering which powerful person had arranged it.

• Wu Youqing explained that the Secret Martial Society targeted people who used powers beyond humanity and that some members might view Xue Jing as a threat for wasting his exceptional Old Martial Arts talent.
• Wu Youqing revealed that the Extreme Martial King, founder of the Secret Martial Society, now lived in Azure Court and was considered the ceiling of humanity's individual combat power.
• Du Shiwei called Xue Jing to say that higher-ups wanted him to serve as a martial arts entrance exam proctor, and Xue Jing said he would consider it.
• Wu Youqing urged Xue Jing to accept, explaining that the Extreme Martial King had first become famous as the youngest proctor in history and that the role would discourage the Secret Martial Society from targeting him.
• Xue Jing wondered who was protecting him, and Wu Youqing jokingly suggested it might be because he was handsome.

Xue Jing learned from Wu Youqing that the universe was made of Cosmic Strings and that her blessing came from the foreign god Crimson Mist, an existence once expelled from the Great String. He returned home to find his mother, Nan Jiayu, waiting for him, while she teased him about possibly having a girlfriend.

• Xue Jing agreed to take on the examiner assignment, and Wu Youqing warned him to be careful until he officially began in over a month.
• Wu Youqing explained that Cosmic Strings formed the universe and that gods were Superstring Existences capable of manipulating them, though the native God had died and no foreign gods had entered their world.
• Wu Youqing revealed that universes might be encompassed by a greater structure with a fundamental unit she called the Great String, and that her patron god was named Crimson Mist.
• Xue Jing left the library thinking about Wu Youqing's future Divine Concealment and whether he could help her, then headed home.
• Nan Jiayu surprised Xue Jing with an embrace when he arrived, explained that his father would return the next day, and fussed over his appearance.
• Xue Jing offered to cook dinner, and Nan Jiayu teased him by asking whether he had a girlfriend.

Xue Jing cooked a meal for his family, then used tenfold gravity to intensify his Shaking Armor Skill training and saw his skin begin to resemble the legendary Skin Blooming Glaze. After recovering, he went to meet Li Qi and asked what trouble his master needed him to handle.

• Nan Jiayu teased Xue Jing about having a romantic partner, and he denied it while heading to the kitchen to cook for his family.
• Xue Jing prepared six dishes and a soup, and Xue Wan reluctantly praised the delicious food as she ate.
• Nan Jiayu vetoed Xue Jing's attempt to avoid becoming the family chef, and the next morning he went to the Hidden Dragon Dojo.
• Xue Jing decided that electromagnetic training was beyond his current abilities and instead applied tenfold gravity while practicing the Shaking Armor Skill.
• After an exhausting hour of training, Xue Jing replenished his water, healed himself, and noticed that his skin had gained strength and a faint glazed glow.
• Xue Jing entered the Mind Cultivation Room, greeted Li Qi, and asked what trouble his master needed him to handle.
