Chapter Summaries

After transmigrating into the Battle Through the Heavens Plane, Jiang Han used the Gaze System to kill a tiger and gain power by staring at stronger targets. He became a Xiao Family servant in Wutan City, where gazing at Xiao Xun'er and the examiner raised his cultivation to five-star Dou Zhe.

• Jiang Han hid in a cabinet and watched Ge Ye arrive at the Xiao Family hall with his companions as his staring progress slowly increased.
• Xiao Yan entered, and the gathering unfolded as Jiang Han remembered, until Ge Ye announced that he had come to dissolve Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan’s engagement.

• Jiang Han kept his gaze fixed on Ge Ye as the progress reached 98%.

Jiang Han completed the gaze target and broke through from Dou Zhe to Dou Master, then to a seven-star Great Master Fighter while fleeing from Ge Ye. He stopped with Ge Ye and the others closing in, having just received the Extreme Blade Three Styles.

• After Ge Ye ordered the white-robed youth to attack Jiang Han, Jiang Han’s cultivation surged as the System’s progress reached 100%.
• Jiang Han broke through to Dou Master and evaded the white-robed youth’s punch while sensing his body’s transformation.
