Chapter Summaries

Wang Xian maintained the appearance of being grim over Yue Rushuang’s supposed betrayal while learning that she suspected the Sea Clan had once been human. As Sword Twenty-Three revealed that powerful people wanted to use Wang Xian as a cautionary example and offered compensation over the Ghost Market incident, Nangong Wu chose five conditions while Wang Xian sat dazed.

• Wang Xian complained to Nangong Wu that keeping up his grim act was exhausting, and she told him Yue Rushuang had encountered danger in the ocean and suspected the Sea Clan had been transformed from humans.
• Wang Xian grew angry after Nangong Wu explained that Humans and Xiao Jin’s Foxfolk Race kept their distance in the guild, but he agreed to let her handle the situation.
• Sword Twenty-Three told Wang Xian that some people wanted to make him an example because his power and achievements threatened those above him.
• Nangong Wu negotiated compensation for the Ghost Market incident and selected five conditions from Sword Twenty-Three’s list.
• After Sword Twenty-Three left, Nangong Wu comforted the dazed Wang Xian by kneading his shoulders.

Wang Xian learned that the young man offered as compensation possessed the Mythical Grade Talent Fearlessness, which could protect him from negative status effects. After three failed attempts to strip the talent, Wang Xian tried once more, but the extraction was suddenly interrupted, alarming Nangong Wu.

• Nangong Wu explained that the higher-ups had chosen the young man for his Mythical Grade Talent, Fearlessness, and Wang Xian examined its ability to negate negative status effects and reflect them at increased strength.
• The young man said he willingly gave up Fearlessness because it did not suit his fighting style and the higher-ups had given him an Epic Grade combat talent in return.
• Wang Xian failed three times to strip Fearlessness, leaving the young man in severe pain and with only one attempt remaining.
• The young man insisted he could endure another attempt, and Sword Twenty-Three urged Wang Xian to continue.
• Wang Xian activated Talent Stripping again, but the attempt was interrupted by a groan from Wang Xian, and Nangong Wu felt an ominous premonition.

Wang Xian struggled with a burning sensation while continuing to extract a young man's talent, and Nangong Wu investigated his repeated scratching by asking Su Jin and his parents about his habits. She returned to find that his final Extraction attempt had failed, then confronted him about his behavior.

• Wang Xian felt a fire burning inside him but continued extracting the young man's talent while Sword Twenty-Three teased him.
• Nangong Wu left and asked Su Jin whether Wang Xian had any unusual habits, learning that he touched his nose when he lied.
• Nangong Wu visited Wang Xian's mother and discreetly asked about Wang Xian's habits before Wang Xian's parents bantered and chased each other.
• Nangong Wu returned to the territory after receiving Wang Xian's message and learned that his attempt to extract Fearlessness had failed.
• Nangong Wu asked Wang Xian why he kept scratching his ears and cheeks, and he laughed and said they itched.

Wang Xian’s strange itching and uncontrollable sleepiness led the Immortal Palace leaders to discover that a powerful curse surrounded him. Xuan Ming recognized it as a nearly fatal curse from ancient legends, but had not yet revealed its name or whether Wang Xian could be saved.

• Wang Xian repeatedly scratched his cheeks and fell asleep during an Immortal Palace meeting, prompting Nangong Wu to call for help.
• Su Jin, Cheng Yao, and Nangong Wu grew alarmed as they realized Wang Xian’s symptoms had been recurring for days.
• Thunder Spirit fled after landing on Wang Xian, and Xuan Ming sensed a special aura wrapped around him.
• Lydia Karina and Xuan Ming identified the aura as a powerful curse that was almost impossible to break.
• Xuan Ming recognized the curse as one from ancient mythological legends that nearly always killed its victims, and began to explain it.

Nangong Wu and Xuan Ming determined that Wang Xian was likely afflicted by a weakened Ancient Curse and had about a month before it erupted. His allies and family began a massive search for the curse caster, leaving Dragon Kingdom filled with people repeatedly entering dangerous areas.

• Xuan Ming said Wang Xian's symptoms matched a weakened Ancient Curse and explained that finding its caster before it erupted was the only way to save him.
• Nangong Wu summoned Sword Twenty-Three, Qin Zheng, Long Aotian, Shadow, Wang Xian's father, and others, and Xuan Ming estimated the curse would erupt in at least a month.
• Wang Xian's father and allies saw him fall asleep again, and Xuan Ming explained how to break the curse.
• Sword Twenty-Three, Qin Zheng, Long Aotian, Wang Xian's father, Cheng Yao, Xuan Ming, Xuan Yue, and Su Jin left to organize searches, while Nangong Wu stayed with Wang Xian.
• Search teams spread throughout Dragon Kingdom and repeatedly entered forbidden zones despite being killed by monsters and BOSSes.

Nangong Wu led Dragon Kingdom’s elite forces into the Mythical Grade dungeon, while Wang Xian remained asleep outside under guard. The vast procession entered the dungeon, leaving only a handful of people on the plain.

• Nangong Wu thanked the assembled fighters, promised to protect their families and compensate them, and invited anyone unwilling to proceed to withdraw.
• Wang Xian’s father rode a Western Giant Dragon into the mountain range, followed by the Army Breaker guild.
• Su Jin, Xue Fangfei, and Dou Dou led their Demon Fox, Dragon Hawk, and Thunder God legions into the dungeon.
• Lin Feng’s Mecha Legion carried the elderly legion into the mountain range, and Qin Zheng, Sword Twenty-Three, Long Aotian, and the remaining forces followed.
• The entire procession crossed into the Mythical Grade dungeon, while Wang Xian stayed behind asleep with Xuan Yue, Cheng Yao, and Lydia Karina guarding him.

As Wang Xian lay asleep, his allies waited anxiously for the expedition into a Mythical Dungeon to find the source of his curse. Their vigil was interrupted when Cheng Yao, Xuan Yue, and Lydia Karina discovered foreign intruders attacking Wang Xian.

• Cheng Yao and Xuan Yue worried as the expedition to the Mythical Dungeon produced no news, while Wang Xian slept fitfully for several days.
• Cheng Yao prepared to enter the dungeon, but Xuan Yue detected and wounded a stealthy intruder.
• Cheng Yao killed the intruder with her Light spells, revealing more hidden foreigners inside the holy light.
• The foreigners ignored Cheng Yao's attacks and charged toward the sleeping Wang Xian, surviving because they had Blood Lock Skills.
• Xuan Yue began casting Immobilization Curse against the attackers.

Dark Council Priests attacked Wang Xian with Dark Shield support, but Xuan Yue defeated the Assassins while Cheng Yao and Lydia Karina backed her. Blood Ancestor Paul Dracula arrived and demanded Wang Xian, then knocked Cheng Yao aside as the chapter ended.

• Dark Council magic protected the Assassins from the group’s attacks and dispelled Lydia Karina’s angel phantom as they closed in on Wang Xian.
• Wang Xian’s Flame Aura blasted the Assassins away, but he briefly woke, taunted them, and immediately fell asleep again.
• Xuan Yue fought the Assassins hand-to-hand while Cheng Yao and Lydia Karina supported her, and she killed them all in under ten seconds.
• Paul Dracula arrived, identified himself as Blood Ancestor, and demanded that the group hand over Wang Xian.
• Cheng Yao refused Paul Dracula’s demand, and he sent her flying with an attack that displayed zero damage.

Paul Dracula attacked the sleeping Wang Xian after overpowering Xuan Yue and Lydia Karina, but Wang Xian briefly woke and beat him before falling asleep again. When Paul Dracula resumed his assault, Thunder Spirit emerged to protect Wang Xian and unleashed a storm of purple lightning against him.

• Paul Dracula sent Xuan Yue and Lydia Karina flying, then reached for Wang Xian, who was asleep.
• Wang Xian woke, crushed Paul Dracula's wrist, and stomped on his face before falling asleep again.
• Xuan Yue, Cheng Yao, and Lydia Karina protected Wang Xian while Paul Dracula hesitated, then summoned the Blood Moon and attacked with tentacles.
• Thunder Spirit crawled out from Wang Xian's chest, destroyed the tentacles with purple lightning, and sent lightning toward Paul Dracula.

The Thunder Spirit unleashed a storm of purple lightning, shattered Paul Dracula’s Blood Moon, and protected the unconscious Wang Xian from his attacks. Paul Dracula summoned his forces and mages to kill Wang Xian, while Cheng Yao and Xuan Yue hoped he would recover from the Ancient Curse.

• Paul Dracula’s Blood Moon absorbed the Thunder Spirit’s first lightning strike, but the Thunder Spirit summoned purple clouds whose pressure forced him and Cheng Yao, Xuan Yue, and Lydia Karina to the ground.
• The Thunder Spirit unleashed countless lightning bolts, cracking the Blood Moon, and Paul Dracula charged at Wang Xian in a rage.
• The Thunder Spirit fused the lightning into a purple divine dragon, which knocked Paul Dracula aside and shielded Wang Xian from the attacking Blood Bats.
• Paul Dracula re-formed from the surviving Blood Bats, then ordered his fighters to kill Wang Xian as mages began chanting high-level spells.
• Cheng Yao and Xuan Yue praised the Thunder Spirit and said they would scold Wang Xian once he recovered, while Xuan Yue worried that the Ancient Curse might be difficult to break.

Thunder Spirit’s purple divine dragon killed the foreign assassins repeatedly, leaving only Paul Dracula alive until Blood Moon shattered and he was knocked down. After the dragon vanished, Nangong Wu returned and found Paul Dracula lying on the ground.

• The purple divine dragon struck the charging assassins with lightning, repeatedly killing them as they revived until only Paul Dracula remained.
• Paul Dracula’s Blood Moon absorbed the lightning until it cracked and shattered, leaving him badly injured.
• The purple divine dragon vanished, and Cheng Yao celebrated with Thunder Spirit while Xuan Yue and Lydia Karina joined them.
• A masked person watched Thunder Spirit from a distant mountain and reported what had happened to someone on their friends list.
• Cheng Yao called Paul Dracula a big rat, then rushed to greet Nangong Wu when she returned.
• Nangong Wu saw Paul Dracula lying on the ground and her expression turned cold.

Nangong Wu and the others found the curse ritual targeting Wang Xian inside the Qin Family Secret Realm, which outsiders had occupied and turned into a Ghost Clan stronghold. They discovered a figure attacking Wang Xian’s straw doll and rushed to stop them.

• Nangong Wu learned from Cheng Yao that the Ghost Clan had attacked, then questioned Paul Dracula, who refused to reveal who sent him.
• Thunder Spirit struck Paul Dracula with black lightning for one million damage, while Nangong Wu and the others prepared to find the curse caster.
• Nangong Wu led elite fighters to a mountain range, where Qin Zheng revealed his family had long suspected its secret realm was hidden there.
• Nangong Wu’s firebird talisman led the group into the Qin Family Secret Realm, which resembled the Ghost Realm and contained a ruined city guarded by the Ghost Clan.
• Nangong Wu, Su Jin, and Sword Twenty-Three killed the Ghost Clan guards and charged toward the ritual altar, where Nangong Wu saw someone driving sleeve arrows into Wang Xian’s straw doll.

Wang Xian survived the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book curse and learned that its caster had called him an anomaly, while the group escaped the collapsing secret realm. Now level 99, Wang Xian delayed reaching level 100 until after the New Year and after Su Jin finished enhancing his equipment, hoping to preserve his peaceful life before the Immortal Clan’s assassinations began.

• Nangong Wu attacked the curse caster, but he used Blood Lock to survive long enough to pierce the straw figure’s eyes and prepare the seventh arrow.
• Wang Xian awakened, resisted the eye curse with his Sun Pupil and Moon Pupil talents, and caught the arrow aimed at the straw figure’s heart.
• The caster called Wang Xian an anomaly and spoke of the Heavenly Dao before exploding, while Wang Xian reunited with Nangong Wu, Su Jin, and the others.
• Qin Zheng explained that the group had to leave Epang Palace before He Shi Bi’s protective power ran out and the black mist corrupted them.
• Wang Xian continued leveling his companions and preparing New Year events, but stayed at level 99 because reaching level 100 would bring Immortal Clan assassinations.
• Wang Xian told Nangong Wu he would reach level 100 after New Year and after Su Jin finished enhancing his equipment, while the Immortal Palace used Heaven and Earth Furnace to smelt equipment.

Wang Xian and Immortal Palace celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve with their families, then welcomed the New Year event and set out to gather materials before the Year Beast arrived.

• Wang Xian gave Sword Twenty-Three a Legendary Grade longsword, then told him and Qin Zheng that Immortal Palace could smelt equipment to make Legendary Equipment, prompting them to bring large quantities of gear each day.
• As Immortal Palace prepared for the New Year, Wang Xian reassured Mo Lan that he would reach level one hundred within half a month and cautioned him about getting close to Sword Twenty-Three.
• On Chinese New Year's Eve, Nangong Wu welcomed members' families to Immortal Palace, where everyone made dumplings, shared a feast, and watched performances.
• At midnight, the New Year event began, and Wang Xian directed Immortal Palace's members to clean up and leave in an orderly manner before heading out to participate.
• Wang Xian formed a party with Nangong Wu, Cheng Yao, Xuan Ming, Xuan Yue, Su Jin, Sword Twenty-Three, Mo Lan, and others to gather event materials before the Year Beast arrived.

Wang Xian’s group prepared for the Spring Festival event, where Su Jin crafted an absurdly powerful firecracker and opened Red Packets for a fortune. As the Year Beast clones appeared, Wang Xian warned Su Jin to save her firecracker for the true Year Beast.

• Wang Xian’s group gathered event materials and made firecrackers, while Su Jin crafted a giant one whose damage was listed as a question mark.
• Su Jin opened Red Packets and repeatedly won 100 Gold Coins, earning over a hundred thousand Gold Coins and flooding Dragon Kingdom’s national channel with announcements.
• Wang Xian and others sent New Year greetings before the Year Beasts appeared and the event’s first wave began.
• Year Beast attacks transformed people into children; Wang Xian let one hit him, then endured teasing from Nangong Wu, Su Jin, and Xuan Yue.
• Wang Xian stopped Su Jin from using her special firecracker, explaining that the current Year Beasts were clones and the real one would appear after they were defeated.

Wang Xian and the Immortal Palace members hunted Year Beasts during the New Year event until Su Jin’s enormous firecracker killed the true Year Beast and blasted the plain. After collecting the rewards and completing the offering phase, Wang Xian faced the event’s final challenge: eating Five Flavors Dumplings.

• Wang Xian led the Immortal Palace members in hunting Year Beast clones, then chased one that fled and received the system alert to kill the true Year Beast.
• Wang Xian and the others joined the crowded battle against the gigantic true Year Beast, and Su Jin used her extra-large firecracker to kill it in a massive explosion.
• The survivors gained the Pitch-Black New Year Easter egg, and Wang Xian directed everyone to collect the Red Packets dropped by the Year Beast.
• The Year Beast’s defeat ended the event’s first phase, and Wang Xian and the others made offerings to the Grand Duke of Jupiter God; Su Jin received only 1,000 experience points.
• Afterward, the group prepared breakfast, and Wang Xian reluctantly faced Five Flavors Dumplings whose bonus reminded him of the unpleasant Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes.

After Su Jin won the Mythical Grade artifact Demon Moon in the New Year lottery, Wang Xian tricked her into handing it over before giving it back amid their usual teasing. The next morning, Sword Twenty-Three and then several other players crowded Wang Xian’s door, insisting on seeing the artifact.

• Wang Xian ate Su Jin’s Five Flavors Dumpling for a damage bonus, then learned he could have swallowed it without chewing.
• Wang Xian and his companions spent the day grinding monsters before the New Year event ended; Su Jin had amassed more than thirty-seven million points from Red Packets and the Year Beast.
• Wang Xian advised Su Jin to spend her points on useful items and the lottery, and Su Jin won the Mythical Grade artifact Demon Moon.
• Wang Xian frightened Su Jin into handing him Demon Moon, then revealed he had only been teasing her and returned to the group as Su Jin and Cheng Yao chased him.
• Sword Twenty-Three arrived early to see Demon Moon, but Wang Xian kicked him away and hid behind a soundproof barrier; by noon, Qin Zheng, Long Aotian, Shadow, and others had joined the demand to see it.

Wang Xian showed the guild members Su Jin’s Mythical Grade Demon Moon and later prepared to reach level 100, fearing the Immortal Clan would appear. When he leveled up alone, an Immortal Clan figure confronted him and ordered him to kill himself, but Wang Xian calmly took the Legendary Grade sword the figure had thrown at him.

• Su Jin showed Sword Twenty-Three and the others Demon Moon’s powerful attributes, while Wang Xian called it a utility-type support divine artifact.
• Sword Twenty-Three, Qin Zheng, Long Aotian, and Shadow left the tavern for separate urgent tasks without explaining what had happened in the Mythical Dungeon.
• Su Jin admitted she had spent over a million Enhancement Stones enhancing Demon Moon, and Wang Xian told her to use the remaining Mythical Quality Enhancement Stone to upgrade his equipment instead.
• After his equipment was fully enhanced, Wang Xian agreed to wait until after the Lantern Festival before reaching level 100, and Nangong Wu evacuated the guild members from the territory.
• Wang Xian reached level 100 alone, gained a new talent inheritance and skills, and encountered an Immortal Clan figure who called him an ant and demanded he kill himself.
• Wang Xian stored the Legendary Grade longsword the figure threw at him, enraging the Immortal Clan figure.

After reaching level 100, Wang Xian easily defeated Qing Ze of the Qingyan Immortal Clan and let him go after he swore a binding Heavenly Dao Oath. Wang Xian and Nangong Wu then returned to the Immortal Palace, where Su Jin and the others were astonished by his attributes.

• Wang Xian used Blink to defeat Qing Ze and questioned him about the Immortal Clan.
• Nangong Wu proposed that Qing Ze make a Heavenly Dao Oath, and Wang Xian forced him to swear he would not retaliate and would follow her conditions.
• Qing Ze explained that he had to return before the world barrier recovered or he and the Immortal Clan experts who opened it would suffer deadly consequences, so Wang Xian let him leave.
• Wang Xian and Nangong Wu called everyone back to the Immortal Palace, where they saw Wang Xian's level-100 attribute panel.
• Su Jin complained that Wang Xian's attributes surpassed hers despite her having a divine artifact.

After reaching level 100, Wang Xian gained the Inheritance talent and discovered his new Priest skills, including one that let him alter ranking information. He used it to display level 999, then strengthened Thunder Spirit until it transformed, leaving him furious at its new appearance.

• Wang Xian inherited a weakened version of his Growth talent to Su Jin, and Nangong Wu suggested that everyone obtain it despite its ten-day cooldown.
• Wang Xian inspected his second-tier Priest skills, tested Disguise by changing his displayed level to 999, and left the false ranking in place to annoy the Western powerhouse.
• Wang Xian gave a Legendary Grade longsword to Xuan Ming and Xuan Yue, who argued over which of them should keep it.
• Sword Twenty-Three questioned Wang Xian about the level 999 ranking, and Wang Xian explained that Disguise had altered the displayed information.
• Wang Xian used Myriad Spirits to strengthen Thunder Spirit, which then took human form and left him roaring in anger as the others restrained him.
