Chapter Summary: “Slaying, Unbelievable!!!”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Li Yilin discovers that killing members of other races refreshes his system’s check-in attempts. His recent kills—Botejiao and the World Lord Black Wolf—have each triggered a refresh.
  • He begins wondering how the system defines an “alien race,” considering whether the classification depends on bloodline, allegiance, or simply belonging to a race other than his own.
  • Observing the ongoing battle, Li Yilin assesses the positions of his teammates:
    • Lai Gang and Dream Demon are fighting a weaker Monster Race squad.
    • Qiu Shui and Chitian are evenly matched against individual Black Wolves.
    • Baro is fighting two enemies alone.
    • Chiyuan and Dan Xing are handling the remaining monsters.
  • Seeking another kill and another check-in refresh, Li Yilin chooses to assist Baro. He Teleports above a Black Wolf and kills it instantly with his poisoned saber.
  • Baro complains that Li Yilin stole his kill, but secretly feels relieved because Li Yilin’s intervention allows him to concentrate on the remaining Golden Leopard.
  • The surviving Golden Leopard is shocked and horrified by Li Yilin’s Teleportation, a technique normally associated with legendary Immortal Gods. He realizes that his group has encountered an extraordinary Human Race expert.
  • Meanwhile, Mo Jiu learns that several of his companions, including his younger brother, have been killed. Knowing he will likely die, he sends repeated warnings to nearby Monster Race members, identifying Li Yilin as the killer and emphasizing that he can Teleport.
  • Li Yilin approaches the battle between Taida and Mo Jiu. Taida tells him to help the other teammates, but Li Yilin confirms that everyone else is safe, particularly praising Chiyuan for killing the dangerous Black Snake early.
  • Taida admits that Mo Jiu is stronger than expected and asks Li Yilin to help kill him. Li Yilin warns that he may take the kill himself, prompting Taida to realize that Li Yilin’s Teleportation is not a temporary trump card but part of his actual combat ability.
  • Li Yilin Teleports above Mo Jiu and strikes him. Mo Jiu manages to avoid a fatal blow but recognizes Li Yilin as the killer of his younger brother.
  • Li Yilin taunts Mo Jiu by mentioning the hundred thousand military merits he received for killing his brother. His total military merits have now reached 110,000.
  • Enraged, Mo Jiu unleashes his world projection against Li Yilin. However, Li Yilin remains unaffected and Teleports again, declaring that world projection is useless against someone who cannot be spatially locked down.

Character Developments

  • Li Yilin becomes increasingly confident and opportunistic. He recognizes the value of killing alien races for system rewards and deliberately seeks out enemies to maximize his check-in attempts and military merits.
  • His Teleportation is revealed to be a natural, reliable combat ability rather than a one-time trump card. This greatly increases his confidence and makes him extremely difficult for opponents to counter.
  • Li Yilin also displays a playful, provocative personality, openly stealing Baro’s target and taunting Mo Jiu about his brother’s death.
  • Baro is shown to be powerful enough to fight two enemies at once, but he is also somewhat greedy and cannot easily finish both opponents. He is irritated by Li Yilin’s interference but benefits from it.

Chapter Summary: “Treasures”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Li Yilin uses Teleportation repeatedly during the battle and kills Mo Jiu, also known as Black Wolf, by striking his vital point before Mo Jiu can react.
  • Taida witnesses Li Yilin moving effortlessly through the World Master’s world projection and realizes how terrifyingly powerful he is. Although Li Yilin is not yet an Immortal, Taida understands that his ability to use Teleportation is a dangerous secret connected to the Thunder brothers.
  • After the battle, Li Yilin collects Mo Jiu’s remains and dropped items, then escapes with Taida. Their teammates also gather the spoils and flee the battlefield aboard a spacecraft.
  • Li Yilin asks Taida to keep his abilities confidential. Taida agrees immediately, recognizing that it is wiser not to anger him.
  • With his military merit quota fulfilled, Li Yilin decides to retire from the battlefield and return to Noah Universe Kingdom. He plans to break through to the World Master level and later reenter the Outer-Domain Battlefield under a new identity, leaving “Thunder” behind.
  • Back in his hidden basement on Wunuo Star, Li Yilin uses his accumulated sign-in attempts. The system rewards him with Thunder Dragon Bloodline, Thunder Dragon Armor, Thunder Dragon Blade, Thunder Dragon Illusion Jade Beads, and a Moonlight Crown.
  • The Thunder Dragon Armor and Blade are revealed to be ordinary treasures. However, Li Yilin cannot yet claim them because he needs at least 6% Thunder Dragon Bloodline. The new bloodline rewards will bring him to that requirement after fusion.
  • Li Yilin successfully claims the Moonlight Crown, discovering that it is an ordinary soul-type treasure capable of protecting him from soul attacks and enslavement, except from beings around the level of a Universe Overlord.
  • The Thunder Dragon Illusion Jade Beads are explained as soul-type treasures that can enhance another person’s comprehension and soul strength while also providing Li Yilin with amplified feedback. However, they carry a dangerous protective function: if the wearer faces unavoidable death, Li Yilin will be forcibly transported to them and made to take the attack.

Character Development

  • Li Yilin: Demonstrates overwhelming combat ability by killing a World Master with Teleportation. He becomes increasingly cautious about concealing his powers and plans to abandon his current battlefield identity after reaching the next realm. His new treasures significantly improve both his protection and future cultivation potential.
  • Taida: Develops a strong fear and respect for Li Yilin. He recognizes that Li Yilin’s abilities are far beyond what his apparent cultivation level suggests and agrees to keep his secrets without needing threats.
  • Li Yilin and the System: Li Yilin notices a slight change in the normally emotionless system when it congratulates him and calls him “Host,” but the system gives no further response when questioned.

Significant Themes

  • Hidden power and secrecy: Li Yilin’s ability to use Teleportation despite not being an Immortal marks him as an extraordinary and potentially dangerous figure. Maintaining secrecy becomes essential as he prepares to change identities.
  • Rapid advancement and unexpected fortune: The sign-in system grants Li Yilin treasures far earlier than he expected, giving him advantages normally unavailable to a Domain Lord.
  • Power versus limitations: Although Li Yilin receives powerful treasures, he cannot immediately use all of them. The Thunder Dragon Armor and Blade require a sufficient bloodline, emphasizing that power still comes with conditions.
  • Protection and sacrifice: The Illusion Jade Beads offer extraordinary benefits but may force Li Yilin to sacrifice himself for their wearer, introducing a serious risk beneath their apparent usefulness.
  • Retirement and transformation: Li Yilin’s decision to leave the battlefield and abandon the identity of Thunder signals a major transition in his life and future strategy.

Important Character Interactions

  • Li Yilin and Taida: After escaping, Li Yilin politely asks Taida to protect his secret. Taida readily promises, motivated by fear, respect, and practical judgment.
  • Li Yilin and the System: Li Yilin reacts with surprise and curiosity when the system congratulates him and addresses him directly, though his attempts to communicate receive no answer.
  • Li Yilin and the Treasures: He examines and claims the new items, learning that his bloodline will allow him to use the Thunder Dragon Armor and Blade and that the Moonlight Crown offers powerful soul protection.
