Zhou Hao sparred with Thor, using his Heaven-Piercing Shuttle to defeat him after Thor agreed to limit his strength to the third Planetary stage. The victory completed Zhou Hao’s sign-in mission and earned him the first tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex; Thor also promised to take Zhou Hao’s sister as his disciple once she reached the War God Level.

• Thor agreed to suppress his strength to the third stage of the Planetary level for the spar.

He postponed cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex and continued training until his genetic energy began to transform.

• Thor playfully pinched Zhou Hao's cheeks, then returned with him to the training camp and offered to take Zhou Ying'er as his disciple after she reached War God level.

Zhou Hao broke through to Planetary level as both a martial artist and a Mental Power Master, reaching Planetary level 2nd stage in mental force. After testing his improved abilities in the Wilderness Zone, Thor visited Hong and admitted that Zhou Hao had beaten him.

• Thor arrived at the Limit Martial Hall headquarters and told Hong that Zhou Hao had cheated during their spar and defeated him.

Hong watched Thor’s recording of Zhou Hao defeating him and realized Zhou Hao had reached Peak War God strength through an Ancient Civilization Relics inheritance. At the Global Elite Training Camp, Zhou Hao persuaded Zhou Ying'er to wear a Black God Suit, but she dismissed his claim that he was a Councilor.

Zhou Hao traveled alone to Mist Island during the Elite Training Camp’s Australian Continent survival mission to confront the shrimp Beast Emperor. He broke through its tentacle attacks and advanced through its underground lair as Hong, Thor, and other Councilors rushed to the island.

• The Elite Training Camp students arrived on the Australian Continent for a twenty-eight-day survival mission, and Zhou Hao refused to join a team before setting off alone.
• Zhou Hao reassured Zhou Ying'er and flew toward Mist Island, where he planned to challenge the shrimp Beast Emperor.
• Zhou Hao entered Mist Island’s lake, prompting the stationed factions to report his arrival and powerful Councilors to hurry there.
• The shrimp Beast Emperor sensed Zhou Hao approaching beneath the lake and attacked him with a vast web of tentacles and surging water.
• Zhou Hao used the Sword Shield to withstand the assault, then formed the Wind-Rolling Magic Dragon Drill and tore through the tentacles as he advanced.

Zhou Hao pursued the shrimp-type Beast Emperor through the lake and killed it, becoming the first Councilor-level expert to successfully slay a Beast Emperor. Hong and the other experts learned of the kill while traveling to Mist Island, and Hong suspected he knew the identity of the unfamiliar Mental Power Master.

• Staff at the bases watched Zhou Hao approach the shrimp-type Beast Emperor and saw him sever many of its tentacles in their first clash.

Zhou Hao followed the Wood Essence Crystals through the underground rivers beneath Mist Island while Babata tried to lure him toward the Meteorite Star Ship and recruit him into the Yunmo Star lineage. As the factions discovered the crystals’ value, their competition turned deadly.

• Babata celebrated Zhou Hao’s talent and began scattering Wood Essence Crystals to draw him toward the Meteorite Star Ship.
• Zhou Hao entered the lake, found seven Wood Essence Crystals in an underground river, and killed the Lord-level Monsters that rushed toward them.
• Hong, Thor, and the other Councilors saw the ruined shrimp Beast Emperor on the shore, learned that Zhou Hao had defeated it, and entered the lake.
• Zhou Hao collected more crystals as other factions followed, while Babata used mental power waves and drifting crystals to guide him toward the ship.
• Hong recognized the crystals as valuable for cultivating his Cloud-Soaring Vine, and the factions ordered their Councilors to search for them.
• A Soviet Russian Councilor seized a Wood Essence Crystal and was killed by rival Councilors, intensifying the struggle.

Zhou Hao claimed eight Wood Essence Crystals, but Hong arrived and challenged him after suppressing the gathered Councilors with his domain. Zhou Hao began fighting Hong to earn the system’s reward, and the battle continued as Hong adapted to his attacks.

• Zhou Hao defeated the forces that had tried to seize two Wood Essence Crystals from him, then found eight more in a nearby underground river passage.
• Zhou Hao refused to share the eight crystals with the gathered Councilors, but Hong arrived and restrained everyone with his domain.
• Zhou Hao formed the Magic Dragon Form and accepted Hong’s challenge, activating a mission to hold out for two minutes or defeat Hong for rewards.

• Zhou Hao collected the eight Wood Essence Crystals and continued searching while the other Councilors dispersed.
• After relying on intuition to avoid Babata’s influence, Zhou Hao felt pain beneath his foot and found a palm-sized blood-red fragment.

Zhou Hao reached the Meteorite Star Ship, signed in to obtain a haul of Yunmo Star lineage techniques and other rewards, then left before Babata could recruit him. After spending three days studying the Control Chapter, he realized how much his combat skills had relied on raw power rather than refined technique.

• Zhou Hao dug more than fifteen thousand meters underground, found the Meteorite Star Ship’s hatch, and collected over two hundred Wood Essence Crystals from the entrance passage.
• Zhou Hao signed in and received advanced Yunmo Star lineage techniques, two immortal secret techniques, an Arc Blade Disc, a large spatial ring, more Wood Essence Crystals, and increased Mental Power Talent.
• Zhou Hao saw a massive corpse beyond the entrance passage and left the ship, while Babata reacted in confusion and frustration.
• Zhou Hao returned to the surface and decided to revisit the Meteorite Star Ship in three days to obtain more warrior secret techniques.
• Zhou Hao spent the next three days studying the Control Chapter, then recognized that a proper inheritance would have made him far more effective against a domain genius.

After three days of training the first form of the advanced Heaven-Piercing Shuttle, Zhou Hao rushed to rescue Zhou Ying'er, Wang Ning, and Yang Kuo from a beast horde and killed its Lord-level Monster. Seeing his strength firsthand and hearing how highly his friends rated him, Zhou Ying'er began to understand that her little brother was no longer a child who needed her protection.

• Zhou Hao answered Zhou Ying'er's call for help and hurried to the lakeside basin where she, Wang Ning, and Yang Kuo were surrounded by commander-level monsters.

• Wang Ning and Yang Kuo explained Zhou Hao's exceptional strength to Zhou Ying'er, who realized he had grown beyond the little brother she had once protected.

Zhou Hao returned to the Meteorite Star Ship, collected rewards and Wood Essence Crystals while avoiding Babata’s attempt to lure him deeper inside, then sensed the Flame Law for the first time. The chapter left him exhausted and asleep in a sealed cave.

• Zhou Hao parted from Zhou Ying'er, Wang Ning, and Yang Kuo's team, then returned to Mist Island Lake after the factions had abandoned their search for more Wood Essence Crystals.
• Zhou Hao entered the Meteorite Star Ship and received seven sign-in rewards, including the secret technique 'Law Foundation Chapter' and ten Wood Essence Crystals.
• Zhou Hao collected half the Wood Essence Crystals Babata had placed in the passage, then left before reaching the main hall, frustrating Babata’s plan to recruit him.
• Zhou Hao rested in a mountain cave and decided to return to the ship after three days for another sign-in.
• Zhou Hao sensed the Flame Law for the first time, but his consciousness gave out after half an hour, so he sealed the cave, covered himself with the Black God Suit, and fell asleep.

Zhou Hao left the Meteorite Star Ship without entering, then returned from the Elite Training Camp to Jiangnan Base City with Zhou Ying'er after months away. He reunited with Wang Rong and the Rose Squad at Villa 117.

Nearly five years later, Zhou Hao’s family discussed Zhou Ying’er’s plans after training camp, while Zhou Hao demonstrated how far he had advanced in cultivation. He remained a ninth-rank Planetary level fighter but struggled to progress in law techniques, and had found no new special sign-in mission on Earth.

• At dinner, Wang Rong asked Zhou Ying'er about her plans after graduating from the training camp, and Zhou Ying'er said she wanted to stay as an instructor and did not plan to marry.
• Zhou Hao eased Wang Rong’s anger by suggesting Zhou Ying'er might have someone in her heart and promising she would hold a grandchild someday.

Zhou Hao learned that the Thunder Dragon Emperor was hiding in the Mariana Trench and postponed the fight until he could break through to Stellar level. After breaking through in both Mental Power and warrior cultivation, he returned to the trench to confront the Beast Emperor.

• Zhou Hao returned to the Mariana Trench, told Hong and Thor to wait, and plunged into the sea to kill the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

After killing the Thunder Dragon Emperor, Zhou Hao visited Zhou Ying'er at the Global Elite Training Camp and then sought out nine-year-old Luo Feng. Finding Luo Feng awakened three special missions that tasked Zhou Hao with building the world’s strongest martial hall and training Luo Feng.

• Zhou Hao observed Luo Feng’s Junior Trainee fitness and faint Mental Power, then received missions to establish the world’s top martial hall and train Luo Feng into a Planetary Level Warrior and Stellar level Mental Power Master.

After meeting Luo Feng and triggering three system missions, Zhou Hao established Hope Martial Hall with Hong and Thor's support, offering rare resources to attract talent. The recruitment caused a stir, and Zhou Hao revealed that he had found Ancient Civilization Relics and had enough Wood Essence Crystals to support their cultivation.

• Zhou Hao realized meeting Luo Feng had triggered missions, including rewards tied to space and time laws, and considered the challenge of the mission involving Luo Feng's dark golden orb.

Zhou Hao’s Hope Martial Hall attracted tens of thousands of applicants with its rare cultivation resources and quickly grew into the world’s largest martial hall. He revealed his identity as Swordlight Speaker to Zhou Ying’er, who decided to join, while Hong and Thor warned him not to squander resources.

• Warriors and even Councilors rushed to apply to Hope Martial Hall after learning about its Spirits of Grass and Wood and Wood Essence Crystals.
• Zhou Hao told Zhou Ying’er that he was Swordlight Speaker and demonstrated his mental power, but she dismissed him as a prank before saying she would apply the next day.

• Hong and Thor warned Zhou Hao that the hall’s popularity depended too heavily on free resources and might fade when they ran out.
• Zhou Hao reassured them that Mental Power Masters would receive only one Spirit of Grass and Wood, while they would have to earn Wood Essence Crystals.

Ten-year-old Luo Feng went to Hope Martial Hall with Wei Wen for a trainee test and learned that his childhood headaches might indicate Mental Master Talent. A Mental Power Master confirmed the talent, leaving Luo Feng excited about the training and support he could receive.

• Wei Wen told Luo Feng that Hope Martial Hall was offering free tests and rewards to students aged eight to fifteen, so they hurried there together.
