Chapter Summaries

Zhang Guangmu planned a competition between the Magic Empire and the Blue Star Federation while training toward the Magus realm. After twenty-seven days, he broke through ahead of schedule, reached 15 Total Ability Points, and sensed a powerful life-form approaching.

• Zhang Guangmu imagined organizing the First Transcendent Competition Between Two Worlds and discussed his condition with Zhu Nanhua, who readily agreed.
• Zhang Guangmu used his Laziness magic to train through multiple clones and planned to attempt the S-rank Magus Trial after another month of preparation.
• Twenty-seven days later, Zhang Guangmu's Core of Magic collapsed and reformed into a twenty-faced object as he advanced to Magus, with Zhu Nanhua witnessing the breakthrough.
• The Little White Balls congratulated Zhang Guangmu and argued over whether he or Xia Lianshan was the stronger combatant.
• Zhang Guangmu checked his new information, saw Magic (Jun) among his achievements and 15 Total Ability Points, then sensed a powerful life-form rapidly approaching.

Zhang Guangmu broke through to the Magus realm as an immense unknown life-form raced toward the Imperial Capital. He dismissed Joel Davidson’s insults and warned that the target would arrive within a minute, but its sudden Dragon’s Roar signaled that it had already reached them.

• Zhang Guangmu assessed the approaching life-form, prepared himself with magic, and considered the Book of Acting’s achievement ranks.
• Zhu Nanhua and the mages at Magic Guild headquarters witnessed Zhang Guangmu’s breakthrough, while Di Ziyang regretted that his damaged soul had left him blind.

• Zhang Guangmu came out of the room and ignored Joel Davidson’s challenge to continue the S-rank Magus Trial.
• Zhang Guangmu told Di Ziyang and Zhu Nanhua that the target would reach the Imperial Capital in about a minute, then said they were already too late as a Dragon’s Roar shook the sky.

The Sky-Shrouding Evil Dragon attacked the Imperial Capital, and Zhang Guangmu and the other Magi faced its overwhelming presence from the Magic Tower. After the dragon flew up to the tower, Zhang Guangmu saw its golden scales around its neck.

• The evil dragon’s roar shook the Imperial Capital, and Zhu Nanhua recognized it as the ancient dragon targeted by Zhang Guangmu’s S-rank Magus Trial.
• Di Ziyang used spells to calm the terrified Mages and Apprentices, while Joel Davidson criticized him for wasting magic energy.
• Zhang Guangmu reassured Mooncake that they would survive, then watched the storm outside with Joel Davidson and Di Ziyang.

• Zhang Guangmu defended Di Ziyang by noting that the dragon had already killed two Magi, then watched the dragon fly up to the tower and spotted its golden neck scales.

Joel Davidson charged the Sky-Shrouding Evil Dragon and was killed, while Zhang Guangmu protected Di Ziyang and spoke with the dragon. Zhang Guangmu offered it a leadership position in the Dragon Branch of Food Group and revealed his new Desire Magic, leaving the dragon gazing into its power.

• Joel Davidson lost control of himself, attacked the Sky-Shrouding Evil Dragon, and was killed with a single swipe.
• The evil dragon targeted Di Ziyang with a laser-like beam, but Zhang Guangmu caught the attack with a magical shield.
• Zhang Guangmu addressed the dragon as Mister Dragon King, praised its restraint toward civilians, and argued that its earlier killings had been self-defense.
• The dragon gave Zhang Guangmu one minute to convince it, and Zhang Guangmu offered to hire it as Chief Executive Officer of the Dragon Branch of Food Group.
• Zhang Guangmu revealed his Fifth Original Sin, Desire Magic, and the dragon looked into the starlight in his palm.

Zhang Guangmu used his Desire spell to awaken White Moon from Golden Neck’s battle form and strengthened the dragon’s soul. When hundreds of Super Archmage Laser Cannons targeted Golden Neck, Zhang Guangmu ordered the lock released, and the beams vanished.

• Zhang Guangmu invoked his authority and ordered the lock released, causing the laser beams to disappear as Golden Neck watched in confusion.

Zhang Guangmu used his magic relay network to stop Emperor Li Shisan’s laser cannon, then recruited Golden Neck and White Moon into the Food Group and gained a dragon bloodline contract that boosted his abilities. After arriving at the Imperial Palace, he sensed that his Usable Ability Points had arrived.

• Zhang Guangmu used the Food Group’s satellites to cast Desire on Emperor Li Shisan and make him lift the laser cannon’s lock-on.
• Zhang Guangmu offered Golden Neck a position as CEO of the Food Group’s Dragon Branch, and Golden Neck agreed if White Moon joined too.

• White Moon explained that Zhang Guangmu had become a Dual Dragon Knight through bloodline life contracts with both dragons.
• Zhang Guangmu arrived at the Imperial Palace with Mooncake and sensed that his Usable Ability Points had arrived.

Zhang Guangmu secured access to the Imperial Library after Li Shisan and Archmage Fei Yang offered him books, then became absorbed in Saint Mage Lux's writings. His reading suggested that Lux had engineered Golden Neck and White Moon using magic, biological technology, and cultivation secrets—and may have visited the Blue Star Federation before his supposed death.

• Li Shisan and Zhu Nanhua watched Zhang Guangmu descend, while Li Shisan resolved to treat him with caution after fearing his power.
• Zhang Guangmu asked for a book about dragons, defusing the Magi's planned confrontation and prompting Archmage Fei Yang to give him Dragon Bloodline Purification.

• Li Shisan distributed Saint Mage Lux's handwritten books among the Magi, who began reading them while Zhang Guangmu studied Fei Yang's copy.
• Zhang Guangmu recognized signs of genetic engineering and beast-taming techniques in Lux's book and suspected Lux had created Golden Neck and White Moon and secretly visited the Blue Star Federation.

Zhang Guangmu inferred that Saint Mage Lux might still be alive, uncovered a painting connecting Lux and Yue Yiji to his future, and raised Imperial Body Forging Technique to level 10. The chapter left him discussing the vacant main city of Baishuang County as Li Shisan proposed making Mocheng its capital.

• Zhang Guangmu estimated that Lux had reached the Blue Star Federation at least seventeen years earlier, leading Li Shisan and the others to wonder if Lux was still alive.
• Zhang Guangmu studied a transformed page from Dragon Bloodline Purification and gained one Usable Ability Point, which he invested in Imperial Body Forging Technique.
• Zhang Guangmu recognized himself, Yue Yiji, and Lux in the page’s painting and concluded that Lux was more likely alive than capable of planning his inheritance so far ahead.
• Zhang Guangmu felt the effects of Imperial Body Forging Technique reaching level 10 and became more open to conversation with Di Ziyang and Fei Yang.
• Li Shisan proposed that Mocheng become the main city of Baishuang County, and Fei Yang supported the idea.

Zhang Guangmu gained support for making Mushroom City the capital of Baishuang County, and Li Shisan awarded him three Saint Magic Jades each year. After learning that the Monument of Saints was also the Great Tomb of Saint Mages and the source of the jades, Zhang Guangmu asked to visit it.

• Archmage Fei Yang supported Emperor Li Shisan's proposal to make Mushroom City the capital of Baishuang County.
• Zhu Nanhua urged Li Shisan to give Zhang Guangmu extra Saint Magic Jades, believing Zhang Guangmu's power and character surpassed those of other capital rulers.

• Li Shisan's account explained that Saint Mages signed the First Emperor's Eternal Covenant and left their bodies, magical knowledge, and Cores of Saint Magic within the Monument of Saints.
• Zhang Guangmu rejoiced at the promised jades and asked Li Shisan to let him pay his respects at the Monument of Saints.

• Li Shisan agreed to take Zhang Guangmu to the Monument of Saints, hoping he would remain neutral rather than support the Blue Star Federation.
• Zhang Guangmu visited the Monument of Saints and noticed that Saint Mage Lux’s corpse seemed more completely dead than the other eight preserved bodies.
• Jiang Ling and Yue Yiji discussed Lux, his failed attempt to unite cultivation, magic, and technology, and Yue Yiji’s resolve to carry on his work with Zhang Guangmu’s help.
• A gigantic humanoid appeared above the Food Group convoy, prompting the trainee employees and guards to kneel in awe.
• Yue Yiji used Seven Marvelous Treasure Eyes to identify the giant as Zhang Guangmu.

Zhang Guangmu announced the First Transcendent Conference of the Two Realms, inviting participants from the Magic Empire and the Blue Star Federation to prepare for a contest in one year. At the Federation’s Supreme Council, Li Shiwu considered recruiting Zhang Guangmu, but Zhao Zhengrong admitted he had no confidence and refused to place burdens on him.

• Zhang Guangmu tasked Tang Lanshan, Chu Fan, and Yue Yiji with arranging Zhao Zhengrong’s transfer to the Food Group.

• Zhang Guangmu, having perfected his foundation during a year of study, planned to use the conference and the sixth Original Sin Magic, “Wrath,” to advance beyond the Magus realm.

At the First Transcendent Conference of the Two Realms, Zhang Guangmu used the spectators’ intense emotions to temper his soul and advanced to the Archmage realm, earning the achievement “Magic (Uranium).” The conference ended with Li Xiaoxiao, Qin Fangxun, and Ye Jie in the top three, just before the champion’s optional challenge.

Zhang Guangmu faced Qin Fangxun, Li Xiaoxiao, and Ye Jie at the First Transcendent Conference of the Two Realms, while Mooncake quietly disabled Qin Fangxun’s self-detonation trump card.

He then unleashed the dragon’s roar against Li Xiaoxiao, Qin Fangxun, and Ye Jie, leaving them convinced they could not survive.
