Chapter Summaries

Vinina used the battle intent of thousands of warriors to awaken a Lightning Domain, surprising Babata and proving that her Battle Formation Master inheritance was far more powerful than it had assumed.

• Babata told Vinina that the transformation would take less than an hour, while she struggled to endure the pain.

After Vinina’s bloodline evolution propelled her to the first stage of Star level, she unlocked and accepted the Fallen Rider inheritance. She learned that its combat and body-tempering methods could complement her Battle Formation Master inheritance and prepare her for dangerous adventures in the universe.

• Vinina reached the core plains after gathering more Lightning Stones, and Babata counted 9.84 million of them.
