Ch. 301Roar!!!

Chapter Summary: “Roar!!!”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • During a flight nearly 10,000 meters above the ground, a young girl sees a gigantic creature fly past the airplane. Her mother dismisses it as an impossible hallucination, unaware that the creature is actually a dragon.

  • Wu An marvels at the sensation of flying on a mythical creature and feels his ambition and confidence grow. Moss has erased surveillance footage, making the dragon’s appearance difficult to prove.
  • At his villa, Shi Tianming assumes Wu An has already been dealt with and reflects arrogantly on his family’s influence. He believes General Chen’s interest in Wu An will not matter.
  • Shi Tianming is informed that Lili, his mistress, has accused him of rape online. The accusation causes widespread outrage and sends the Shi Group’s stock price falling.

  • Revenge and retribution: The public accusation against Shi Tianming and the dragon’s arrival suggest Wu An is beginning to strike back directly.

Character Interactions

  • The little girl insists to her mother that she saw a massive flying creature, while her mother humorously but firmly dismisses the claim.
  • Shi Tianming and his subordinate discuss Lili’s accusation and the damage to the Shi Group. The subordinate urges him to focus on containing the crisis.
  • Shi Tianming blames Wu An for the betrayal and boasts about the Shi Family’s ability to suppress public opinion.

Ch. 302Fear!

Chapter Summary: “Fear!”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • A terrifying roar strikes Shi Tianming’s villa, shattering every light fixture and causing Shi Tianming and his guards to bleed from their ears, noses, eyes, and mouths.

  • The survivors are unable to identify their attacker and realize they are powerless against an enemy they cannot even see.
  • A tremendous pressure approaches from outside the villa, filling everyone with dread. Shi Tianming decides that remaining indoors is useless and leads the guards outside.
  • In the darkness, the group first notices a gigantic moving shadow overhead, then looks up to see an enormous dragon descending from the sky.
  • The dragon is dozens of meters tall, covered in scales, and possesses immense wings and pale golden eyes. Its arrival shakes the ground and confirms that the earlier roar came from it.

  • The collapse of status and authority: Shi Tianming’s position as heir and commander of a large security force means nothing against supernatural power.
  • The unknown as a source of terror: Because the attackers cannot initially be seen or identified, the roar and pressure create greater panic than a conventional enemy would.
  • Hierarchy and submission: The dragon’s obedience implies that power is layered, with an even greater being controlling a creature already viewed as legendary and supreme.

Chapter Summary: “New World”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Although Shi Tianming has already been killed, Wu An believes that destroying only him is insufficient. His true objective is to eradicate the entire Shi Family and its powerful business organization.

  • Because the system mission offers an opportunity to grow stronger and time passes minimally in the Urban World, Wu An chooses to postpone his revenge.

  • He arrives in an unfamiliar world consisting of plains and a large, human-built silver base. He cautiously investigates, judging that the world’s technology is relatively undeveloped.

  • When the black-clad assassins refuse to summon their boss and insult Wu An, he reverses the suspended bullets, killing several of them instantly.

  • The doctor: Quickly identifies Wu An as the source of the stopped bullet and is deeply shaken by his powers. His survival alters the expected course of events, since his death originally helped motivate Tony’s transformation into Iron Man.

Significant Themes

  • The lightning sphere rapidly charges Tony’s armor. Silver armor spreads across his body, completely covering him and dramatically increasing his strength and defenses.

Character Developments

  • Wu An: Demonstrates overwhelming power and control. He remains calm and observant, using the ambush to evaluate Tony rather than treating the attackers as a serious threat.

Ch. 310That Streak of Sword Light!

Chapter Summary: “That One Flash of Sword Light!”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Wu An assesses Tony Stark’s newly developed Iron Man armor. He estimates its strength is comparable to someone with Five-Dimensional Attributes above fifty, while its defensive capabilities may exceed one hundred.
  • Wu An reflects that a fully perfected Iron Man suit could eventually grant Tony attributes exceeding one hundred, a level representing a major evolutionary leap. He speculates about the strength of other Marvel characters, including the Avengers and Thanos.
  • Rather than feeling intimidated, Wu An becomes excited and more determined to surpass these powerful figures through his own abilities. He views his path—accumulating power within himself—as fundamentally different from Tony’s reliance on technology and external armor.

  • A brilliant sword beam flies through the distance toward the helicopter, ending the chapter on a cliffhanger as the terrorist leader sees the rapidly approaching light.

Character Developments

  • Wu An: Demonstrates overwhelming combat power and complete confidence. He remains calm while analyzing Tony’s potential and the broader power scale of the Marvel Universe. His ambition and fighting spirit intensify when he considers powerful future opponents. He also reveals that his mastery of lightning has grown significantly since obtaining the Thunder Spirit Pearl.

After being nearly defeated by the terrorists, he identifies speed and agility as areas requiring improvement. He is astonished by Wu An’s ability to annihilate the enemy and manipulate sword energy.
  • Terrorist Leader: Initially gives a sensible tactical order by separating the forces attacking Tony from those dealing with Wu An. However, after witnessing Wu An’s lightning attack, he loses confidence, abandons the base, and becomes desperate to survive.

Significant Themes

  • Self-cultivation versus technology: Wu An considers his internally accumulated abilities superior in principle to Tony’s dependence on armor, emphasizing two fundamentally different paths to power.
  • Power escalation and ambition: The chapter establishes the extraordinary strength of Marvel characters while showing that Wu An interprets powerful opponents as challenges rather than threats.

Chapter Summary: “The Second Platinum Treasure Chest!!”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After defeating Stane, Wu An receives the system’s signal that he will soon return to the Urban World.

Chapter Summary: “Surprise!”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Wu An opens the first Silver Treasure Chest and receives the Web superpower, modeled after Spider-Man’s abilities. It allows him to produce extremely durable spider silk capable of supporting immense weight and enabling movement between buildings.
  • The second Silver Treasure Chest grants him Invisibility. After learning it, Wu An’s body genuinely disappears from sight rather than merely hiding through deception.
  • Wu An realizes that combining Invisibility with the Many-Faced Art he previously obtained from the Game of Thrones world would make him extremely difficult to detect or identify, especially in the low-martial Urban World.
  • The first Golden Treasure Chest provides Super-Speed Movement, associated with Quicksilver. Although the ability theoretically allows speeds approaching 800,000 kilometers per hour, Wu An’s current body can only safely approach the speed of sound before beginning to collapse.
  • Wu An concludes that strengthening his physical body is essential. He looks forward to raising his Five-Dimensional Attributes above one hundred and eventually cultivating the Stellar Transformations Technique.
  • The second Golden Treasure Chest contains the Vibranium Shield, Captain America’s legendary defensive weapon. Wu An is thrilled by its exceptional durability and believes it will greatly improve his survivability.

  • At the same time, Super-Speed Movement forces him to acknowledge his physical limitations. He realizes that powerful abilities are useless if his body cannot withstand them.

Significant Themes

  • Preparation for future worlds: Wu An views every reward as a potential trump card for surviving unfamiliar and increasingly dangerous universes.

  • He receives the Ultimate Nullifier, a powerful Marvel artifact capable of destroying anything, including gods and even entire universes under the right conditions.

  • However, every use consumes one-third of Wu An’s mental attribute. He concludes that he can realistically use it only twice before risking unconsciousness or exhaustion.

  • After killing Shi Tianming at a villa registered under Wu An’s name, Wu An prepares to travel to the Shi Family headquarters in central Zhonghai City.
  • He avoids using his Dragon mount because the crowded city would expose him, choosing to travel on foot instead. Even without using his superspeed ability, he moves far faster than an ordinary car.
  • Wu An also begins planning his future trip to Yanjing. He intends to fulfill his promise to become a distinguished professor at Yanjing University and Tsinghua University, while possibly bringing Nini with him so she can study there.
  • The chapter ends at the Shi Family headquarters, where the family members have gathered and the family head notices that Shi Tianming has not yet arrived.

Character Developments

  • Wu An becomes even more confident after obtaining the Ultimate Nullifier. He views the artifact as an ideal long-term weapon because it grows with him and has no difficult activation requirements.
  • His strategic thinking is emphasized: despite the weapon’s immense destructive potential, he carefully considers its mental cost and limits himself to using it only when necessary.
  • Wu An’s revenge against the Shi Family becomes immediate and personal. His attitude toward them is openly murderous, and he looks forward to seeing whether they can “hold out.”

Significant Themes

  • Power and personal growth: The Ultimate Nullifier’s strength reflects the user’s own power, reinforcing the idea that Wu An’s expanding abilities will continually increase his destructive potential.

  • Revenge and justice: Wu An’s central motivation remains avenging the destruction of his clan, with the Shi Family as his immediate target.

  • Wu An remembers his promises to Elder Yang and Professor Sun, connecting his revenge plot with his future academic plans.
  • At the Shi Family headquarters, the family head interacts with the gathered relatives and questions Shi Tianming’s absence, setting up the family’s coming realization that something is wrong.

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The Shi Family patriarch is informed that his son, Shi Tianming, cannot be reached because his phone is switched off.

  • The Shi Family is gathered to receive a senior figure from Mount Wudang. The visitor is expected to investigate the mysterious death of the patriarch’s third son and the mental collapse of Clear Wind, one of Wudang’s three direct disciples.
  • The patriarch assumes Mount Wudang will only request information rather than punish the Shi Family, since the family has long been friendly with Wudang and the patriarch’s son was also a victim.
  • The patriarch asks how Tianming has handled the “remnant of the Wu Family,” who has recently arrived in Zhonghai City for a competition.
  • Shi Ziliang explains that Tianming avoided acting directly because of General Chen’s possible protection of the Wu family survivor. Instead, Tianming allegedly arranged for a woman to seduce him.

  • The Butler: Initially obedient and professional, he grows visibly frightened as he discovers that neither Tianming nor any of the bodyguards can be contacted.
  • The Wu Family Survivor: Never appears directly, but is presented as a dangerous figure connected to the Third Young Master’s death, Clear Wind’s collapse, and possibly Tianming’s disappearance.

Significant Themes

  • The limits of power: The family considers itself powerful locally but recognizes that it is insignificant compared with the state, the royal clans, and possibly the unknown force behind recent events.

  • Mystery and impending danger: The simultaneous disappearance of Tianming and his entire security team creates suspense and implies the arrival of a formidable adversary.
