• Xu Jingming flew through the forest, killed ferocious beasts with lightning, collected materials from those above the sixth order, and gained 20,000 Ability Points in six hours.

• Xu Jingming defeated Leng Yuexi in a sparring match, and she concluded that his upcoming match was as good as won.
• Xu Jingming decided to wait until dawn before returning to the Wilderness Area and asked whether the Spirit Fox Guild bought ferocious beast materials.

• Leng Shu dismissed the women and asked whether the shares and resource could persuade Xu Jingming to join him.

• Xu Jingming refused Leng Shu’s offer of up to 3% of the Spirit Fox Guild’s shares and left.

• Xu Jingming tested his stronger Mental Strength by controlling eighteen SS-rank Alloy Sword Blades and then summoned his Du Tian Divine Lightning, whose power seemed to have surged dramatically.

After strengthening his Du Tian Divine Lightning through a Refining Spirit Art breakthrough, Xu Jingming unleashed Myriad Lightning Sky Prison Draw and harvested a huge number of Ability Points. His attack drew the attention of a Ninth-Order Beast Emperor Gale Black Hawk, leaving him fleeing toward Sydney with the beast closing in.

• Xu Jingming fled toward Sydney, but Eva warned that the Gale Black Hawk would catch him in less than a minute.

Xu Jingming escaped a Ninth-Order Beast Emperor after using an 8th-grade Blood Burst Pill, then recovered underground and continued hunting more cautiously. On May 14, he counted his gains and prepared to return to meet Leng Yuexi the next day, with 346,000 Ability Points but no way to improve his Thunder Domain.

• Xu Jingming swallowed an 8th-grade Blood Burst Pill and fled from the Gale Black Hawk toward Sydney until it abandoned its pursuit.
• Xu Jingming hid underground, where Eva warned him that the Wilderness Area’s Ninth-Order beasts hunted powerful energy fluctuations; he admitted he had been testing Myriad Lightning Sky Prison Draw.
