Chapter Summaries

Chen Ping'an objected to Yang Yu fighting monsters far above his level, but Yang Yu insisted the choice and its consequences were his to bear. Li Qingcang summoned Zhao Qingying, who arrived and was told to give Yang Yu a Buff.

• Chen Ping'an contacted his adjutant, Zhao Qingying, and told her that Li Qingcang wanted to see her.
• Zhao Qingying arrived, greeted Li Qingcang with reverence, and was ordered to give Yang Yu a Buff.

Li Qingcang forced Yang Yu to face a weakened level-55 Gold-rank Hellfire Cerberus, while Zhao Qingying reluctantly prepared to buff him. After spotting Yang Yu’s Mythical Rank Black Ring, Zhao Qingying understood Li Qingcang’s confidence and gave Yang Yu a powerful boost, leaving him ready to act but wary of revealing his secrets in front of the others.

• Li Qingcang dragged the Hellfire Cerberus from a distant volcano and weakened its fifty billion HP to a sliver.

• Yang Yu looked to Li Qingcang, indicating that he wanted to keep some of his abilities secret from the people present.

Yang Yu tested his newly awakened S-rank skill, Wheel of Judgment, on the restrained Hellfire Cerberus and killed the Level 105 boss. The kill raised him from Level 35 to Level 41 and his skill to Level 18, leaving Li Qingcang suspicious that Yang Yu’s talent was even more powerful than he had claimed.

• Li Qingcang sent Chen Ping'an and Zhao Qingying away before asking Yang Yu to demonstrate his ability.
• Yang Yu summoned a Golden Sword Wheel and used Wheel of Judgment to pierce the Hellfire Cerberus’s eye.
• Yang Yu’s attack dealt a critical hit, and the Hellfire Cerberus shattered and died.
• The boss’s death gave Yang Yu 50 billion experience, six levels, and enough proficiency to raise Wheel of Judgment from Level 1 to Level 18.
• Li Qingcang noticed Yang Yu had gained far more proficiency than a ten-thousandfold boost could explain and wondered whether his talent or ring was responsible.

Yang Yu discovered that his Level 18 Wheel of Judgment could summon 900 tracking swords and effectively had no cooldown, then Li Qingcang drew the Purgatory Scorch’s monsters together for him to kill. Yang Yu unleashed the skill on the weakened horde and rapidly leveled up, reaching Level 43.

• Chen Ping'an guessed that Li Qingcang's disciple might be responsible, but Zhao Qingying dismissed the possibility.

After killing the Level 150 Hellfire Demon Dragon, Yang Yu reached Level 60 and learned two Legendary skills before an unprecedented Second Transfer Mission forced him to teleport.
