• The people of Far East City learned that someone had obtained the Saint-level Li Fire Forging Technique and rushed into the wilderness to seize it.

• Hou San infiltrated a rogue cultivator search party and planned to slip away with the Li Fire Forging Technique.

• Xia Ping called out to Hou San, then struck him unconscious with a red brick.
• Xia Ping searched Hou San and found a jade slip that he believed held the Li Fire Forging Technique.

• Jiang Yaru and the children refused to cooperate and taunted Lu Hu and his men.

• Xia Ping struck the pinned gang members with a powerful palm, crushing them and leaving a massive crater.
• The onlookers and Black Tiger Gang members realized Xia Ping's strength was genuine, while Lu Hu worried that the operation had gone badly.

• Xia Ping increased the gravity more than tenfold, leaving the gang members unable to move as the children advanced.

• Xia Ping identified himself, and a triangular-eyed man asked whether he had obtained the Li Fire Forging Technique.

• Xia Ping sensed Hou San among the arriving gangs and realized he had leaked the rumor, though Xia Ping had deliberately allowed the news to spread.

• Xia Ping denied having the technique at first, then admitted it and claimed Ancestor Li Fire was connected to the Wu Family.
• Tang Zhen pointed out that Ancestor Li Fire had been surnamed Zeng, so Xia Ping changed his story and called him a sworn friend of his ancestor.

• The attack killed sixty thousand gang members and left the forty thousand survivors injured, including Gu Yong and the other gang leaders.
• Ye Jiajia, Jiang Yaru, and the others marveled at Xia Ping’s power as the surviving enemies recognized that a human-wave strategy could not defeat him.

As the survivors fled, he discovered he could absorb soul energy from their deaths in the Virtual World and strengthen his divine sense.

• Xia Ping mocked the attackers, and Gu Yong urged them to target Jiang Yaru and the others, betting Xia Ping could not use his strongest attack without harming his allies.

• The attackers panicked and tried to flee as the plants killed them, leaving them trapped in a plant-filled hell.
