Chapter Summaries

Shi Feng offered Feng Qianyu large quantities of Twelve Elemental Pillars, and she agreed to buy thirty sets despite their steep price. After realizing that the transaction could expose Zero Wing’s ability to supply the powerful scrolls and provoke the superpowers, Feng Qianyu reconsidered and proposed abandoning the deal.

• Feng Qianyu thanked Shi Feng for supporting her and urged him to put away the ten sets of Twelve Elemental Pillars, but Shi Feng said he had brought them to sell.
• Shi Feng explained that Zero Wing needed Magic Crystals, Elemental Crystals, and Magic Cores, and quoted a price of 5,000 Magic Crystals, 500 Gold, and 500 of each crystal and core per set.
• Feng Qianyu agreed to buy thirty sets, and Shi Feng promised to deliver the remaining twenty before the next day.
• Feng Qianyu warned that the superpowers might learn Zero Wing could supply the scrolls in quantity and force it to reveal their source or method of acquisition.
• Feng Qianyu decided that she should abandon the transaction to keep the Twelve Elemental Pillars from threatening Zero Wing’s survival.

Shi Feng dismissed Feng Qianyu and Azure Phoenix’s fears that the Twelve Elemental Pillars would provoke the superpowers, explaining that he had already arranged to sell them to several guilds. Feng Qianyu committed Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion to buying one hundred sets, and its leaders began gathering the enormous payment.

• Azure Phoenix realized Nine Dragons Emperor and Cold Light Poetic Shadow may have anticipated the consequences of the Twelve Elemental Pillars, while Feng Qianyu said they could dispel suspicion by denying that Zero Wing could supply them in bulk.
• Shi Feng told Feng Qianyu and Azure Phoenix that Zero Wing needed the Twelve Elemental Pillars to strengthen its advantage and that he had already arranged a sales meeting with several guilds.
• Feng Qianyu decided to gamble Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion’s resources and offered to buy one hundred sets from Shi Feng.
• Shi Feng agreed to provide the sets by the following day, and Feng Qianyu ordered Azure Phoenix to collect the required materials and Magic Crystals.
• Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion’s leaders approved the withdrawal of the resources, and news of the purchase quickly reached the other superpowers.

Nine Dragons Emperor and Cold Light Poetic Shadow organized against Zero Wing after confirming it could produce Advanced Ancient Magic Barrier Scrolls, while Heavenly Secrets Pavilion hurried to intervene. Shi Feng went to register his advanced Knight Order members as he prepared to open Stone Forest City, and learned that 556 knights had reached Tier 3.

• Nine Dragons Emperor convinced Black Dragon Empire powers to form an alliance and claim a share of Stone Forest City when the superpowers attacked Zero Wing.
• Cold Light Poetic Shadow confirmed Zero Wing could produce ancient magic scrolls in large quantities and ordered Illusory Myth to seize them and Zero Wing's secrets.
• Yuan Tiexin learned that Zero Wing had revealed its ancient scrolls and rushed toward White River City to persuade Shi Feng to negotiate with the superpowers.
• Shi Feng returned to White River City and visited the Adventurers' Association to register the Knight Order members who had advanced to Tier 3.
• Deacon Loran told Shi Feng that 556 members of his Knight Order had successfully advanced and asked whether he wanted to redo their registrations.

Shi Feng discovered that 556 knights had advanced to Tier 3 and spent most of his remaining funds upgrading their equipment. After learning how costly the knights would be to maintain, he was summoned to meet Yuan Tiexin and the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion in Stone Forest City.

• Shi Feng was astonished to learn that 556 members of his knight order had transferred to Tier 3, and he attributed their success to their high potential.
• Shi Feng paid 5,560 gold for the transfer procedures and ordered Adamantite Grade equipment for knights who lacked full sets.
• Shi Feng paid 53,360 gold to replace equipment for 478 knights, leaving himself with a little over 400 gold.
• Shi Feng calculated that supporting the Tier 3 knights would cost at least 200,000 gold each week.
• Water Rose told Shi Feng that Yuan Tiexin and the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had arrived in Stone Forest City with an urgent matter, and Shi Feng teleported to meet them.

Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong worried that Zero Wing could no longer control Stone Forest City as Tier 3 experts gathered there. Shi Feng then opened the city to the public, and they discovered an enormous force of Tier 3 NPCs assembled inside the City Lord's Residence.

• Yuan Tiexin observed the growing number of Tier 3 experts around Stone Forest City and feared Zero Wing could not maintain order as the city’s population increased.
• A regional announcement declared that Stone Forest City had lifted its lockdown and was open to all players for an entry fee, shocking Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong.
• Yuan Tiexin rushed toward the City Lord’s office, intending to make the city lock down again before more experts arrived.
• An overwhelming pressure forced Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong to retreat from the inner courtyard gate.
• Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong saw the courtyard packed with Level 115-or-higher Tier 3 NPCs, all staring at them.

Shi Feng revealed that more than five hundred Tier 3 NPCs in Stone Forest City belonged to his personal knight order, shocking Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong. As the major superpowers prepared to seize the city, their leaders remained confident that they could divide it among themselves.

• Yuan Tiexin planned to hold off the Tier 3 NPCs while Zi Qiong escaped with a Teleport Scroll, but Shi Feng emerged and the knights respectfully made way for him.
• Shi Feng explained that the Tier 3 NPCs were his personal knight order, and Yuan Tiexin realized Stone Forest City was protected by overwhelming force.

• Nine Dragons Emperor learned that the superpowers had secretly agreed to attack Stone Forest City and ordered preparations to meet Lu Xingluo about dividing it.
• Tiegu Canxin and the others arrived at Stone Forest City's gates and waited to enter.

Players and rival powers flocked to Stone Forest City after Zero Wing opened it to the public, while Tiegu Canxin arranged a plan to seize the City Lord's Mansion. The chapter ended with Tiegu Canxin and his allies discovering that the knights guarding the entrance were Tier 3 NPCs.

• Thousands of players queued to enter Stone Forest City, where Zero Wing charged ten silver coins per person.
• Hua Yu Xiaoxiao demanded a fifty-percent increase in her fee, and Tiegu Canxin agreed because they needed her Tier 3 domain spell for their planned assault.
• Tiegu Canxin explained that he expected to take the City Lord's Mansion with support from Nine Dragons Emperor and Star Ring, then raise their price after gaining control of the city.
• Tiegu Canxin and the other experts entered Stone Forest City and found Hua Yu Xiaoxiao frozen in the gateway passage.
• Tiegu Canxin saw two rows of NPC knights and realized they were Tier 3 classes.

Tiegu Canxin and the other Tier 3 experts discovered that Stone Forest City was protected by hundreds of powerful Tier 3 NPCs, making their planned assault on the City Lord’s Manor untenable. Tiegu withdrew Shadow Death from the operation and left the attack to whoever still wanted to try.

• Tiegu Canxin and the visiting Tier 3 experts were stunned to find nearly two hundred armored Tier 3 NPCs guarding Stone Forest City’s entrance.
• A Zero Wing Tier 2 Berserker warned the experts to clear the gate, and Tiegu led his group away rather than challenge the NPC Knights.
• Hua Yu Xiaoxiao told Tiegu that Zero Wing’s show of force had foiled their plan, but Tiegu argued that the major powers’ siege could leave the City Lord’s Manor vulnerable.
• Tiegu and the others scouted the city and encountered more than thirty patrol squads, each containing three Tier 3 NPCs.
• At the City Lord’s Manor, Tiegu’s group found nearly two hundred more Tier 3 NPCs guarding the area, so Tiegu withdrew Shadow Death from the plan.

Nine Dragons Emperor’s plan to seize Stone Forest City collapsed after Star Ring and the other powers withdrew. A video revealed that Zero Wing had nearly five hundred Tier 3 NPCs guarding the city, leaving the superpowers to reconsider their next move as Feng Qianyu was summoned by the Grand Pavilion Master.

• Nine Dragons Emperor told Lu Xingluo and the mysterious person that his unaffiliated Tier 3 experts were ready to attack Stone Forest City’s City Lord’s Mansion.

• A Tier 3 assassin told Feng Qianyu that the Grand Pavilion Master wanted to meet with her immediately.

As Zero Wing gained recognition and recruited a wave of experts, Shi Feng finished crafting Twelve Elemental Pillars and led Water Rose’s team to the Western Continent. After crossing a hostile desert, they discovered a fierce battle over a magic silver mine, where Shi Feng recognized Yuan Xiaoqian among the Azure Blue Chamber of Commerce’s forces.

• Players in White River City discussed Stone Forest City’s Tier 3 NPC guards, and many expert players considered joining Zero Wing.
• Cold Light Poetic Shadow abandoned Illusory Myth’s immediate plan to acquire Zero Wing and ordered her people to pursue a replacement and seek another way to deal with Zero Wing in Fenglin City.
• Water Rose reported that three superpowers had sought cooperation and that more than two thousand experts, including over thirty Subtle Realm experts and several Tier 3 experts, had joined Zero Wing.
• Shi Feng learned that superpowers were restricting Zero Wing’s access to neutral-map resources and ordered Water Rose to prepare for a trip to the Western Continent.
• Shi Feng crafted more than thirteen hundred sets of Twelve Elemental Pillars, then led Water Rose and nine others through the Silver Gate to the Western Continent.
• After crossing a dangerous desert on the Thunder Eagle, Shi Feng spotted a battle over a magic silver mine and recognized Yuan Xiaoqian among the defenders.

Shi Feng and his group arrived on the Western Continent and encountered a clash between the Azure Blue Chamber of Commerce and the Divine Will Tribe. When Maka Frey threatened them, Shi Feng calmly demanded compensation of his own, leaving the standoff poised to escalate.

• Water Rose asked Shi Feng whether he knew anyone on the Western Continent, and he explained that he only knew Yuan Xiaoqian slightly.
• Shi Feng and his companions watched Yuan Xiaoqian, now a powerful Tier 3 Great Mage, fight for the Azure Blue Chamber of Commerce at a mine.

• Maka Frey arrived with hundreds of Divine Will Tribe members and threatened Shi Feng's group with punishment unless they apologized and paid ten pieces of Level 100-plus Adamantite Grade equipment.
• Shi Feng refused to back down and demanded an apology and a hundred pieces of Level 100-plus Adamantite Grade equipment instead.

Shi Feng demanded that the Divine Will Tribe apologize and hand over equipment, then survived its ambush with the Seven Luminaries Ring. He began retaliating with Flame Domain.

• The Divine Will Tribe failed to revive Shi Feng's group with Scrolls of Resurrection, realizing they were still alive.
• Shi Feng emerged unharmed behind Absolute Domain and began casting Flame Domain at Maka Frey and the Divine Will Tribe.

Shi Feng used Flame Domain to annihilate the Divine Will Tribe’s Tier 2 experts, revealing the Seven Luminaries Ring’s devastating power. Maka Frey and the surviving Tier 3 experts reassessed Shi Feng’s group, and Shi Feng asked whether they intended to continue fighting.

• Maka Frey ordered the Divine Will Tribe members to use Teleport Scrolls and retreated beyond Flame Domain’s range.
• Flame Domain drained the mana around the mine, preventing the Divine Will Tribe’s Tier 2 experts from escaping or using magic.
• The spell incinerated several hundred Divine Will Tribe experts, stunning the players watching from across the mine.
• Shi Feng realized the Seven Luminaries Ring had made Flame Domain far more powerful than he expected.
• Maka Frey and the surviving Tier 3 experts took Shi Feng’s group seriously, and Shi Feng asked Maka Frey if he would continue the fight.

Shi Feng provoked the Divine Will Tribe after wiping out hundreds of its experts, then effortlessly blocked a Tier 3 magic fusion attack. Maka Frey concluded that Shi Feng was an unmatched monster, leaving the Divine Will Tribe and Yuan Xiaoqian stunned.

• Yuan Xiaoqian watched Shi Feng refuse to flee and remain composed beside Water Rose and the others despite the thousands of Divine Will Tribe experts on the mine.
• A Divine Will Tribe Ranger fired three crystal-inscribed arrows at Shi Feng, while the Crimson Witch used Multiple Illusions to turn them into more than a dozen enhanced attacks.
• Shi Feng swung Thunder Slayer with the Thunderflash Secret Technique and knocked every arrow out of the air without letting them come within five yards.
• Maka Frey recognized Shi Feng as a possible unmatched monster, and the Divine Will Tribe's Tier 3 experts and Yuan Xiaoqian stared at him in disbelief.

Shi Feng’s strength forced the Divine Will Tribe to abandon its attack, and Great Elder Adolf compensated him and invited him to Silver Lion City. Shi Feng accepted the invitation and headed west with Adolf, leaving both the Divine Will Tribe and Azure Blue Chamber of Commerce bewildered by his influence.

• Maka Frey concluded that Shi Feng was an unparalleled monster after his Mana Eye revealed Shi Feng’s exceptional mana density and the strength of his companions.
• Maka Frey decided to use the Divine Will Tribe’s Tier 4 Heroic Spirit Summoning Scroll, but Adolf the Saint of Light arrived before the battle began.
• Adolf ordered Maka Frey’s group to give Shi Feng one hundred pieces of Level 100 or higher Adamantite Grade equipment.
• Adolf courteously invited Shi Feng to Silver Lion City, and Shi Feng accepted.
• Adolf led Shi Feng and his companions toward the city, while the Divine Will Tribe and Azure Blue Chamber of Commerce wondered who Shi Feng was.

Shi Feng arrived on the Western Continent and toured Silver Lion City with Divine Will Tribe Grand Elder Adolf, discovering its advanced magic trade and many independent experts with elevated life ratings. Adolf offered Zero Wing a partnership involving special bloodlines, and Shi Feng proposed making the Divine Will Tribe Zero Wing’s sole Western Continent partner if it helped him establish a city.

• The Azure Blue Chamber of Commerce Elder expected Miao Wuyin and the Pang Family to benefit from Shi Feng’s support, but Yuan Xiaoqian insisted Miao Wuyin would still lose the family competition.
• Adolf ended the Divine Will Tribe’s confrontation with the Azure Blue Chamber of Commerce, withdrew its forces, and escorted Shi Feng and his group to Silver Lion City.

When they arrived, they found a powerful independent adventurer team fighting near the fortress gate, and Shi Feng revealed the Red Dragon Airship as the chapter ended.

• Maka Frey asked Shi Feng to clear the adventurers from the fortress gate, but Shi Feng declined and took the Red Dragon Airship from his Epic Spatial Backpack.

Shi Feng used the Red Dragon Airship to begin attacking Starlight Fortress’s ancient walls, while Maka Frey and the Silver Lion Legion prepared to protect it from monsters. The first volley damaged the fortress walls and its guardians, and the airship’s remaining cannons fired as well.

• The Divine Will Tribe and nearby adventurers were stunned when the Red Dragon Airship appeared above them.
• Shi Feng asked Maka Frey to establish a defensive line and keep flying monsters away while the airship attacked Starlight Fortress’s walls.
• Maka Frey agreed that the Silver Lion Legion could defend the airship, and Shi Feng left the preparations to him.
• The Red Dragon Airship’s enhanced Magic Pulse Cannon blasted the fortress walls, creating a crack and taking more than one-third of the HP from the Grand Lord Grade Elemental Guardians there.
• The airship’s other eleven Magic Pulse Cannons finished charging and fired at Starlight Fortress.

Shi Feng’s group used the Red Dragon Airship’s Magic Pulse Cannons to bombard Starlight Fortress, damaging its walls and wiping out the Elemental Guardians on one section. The fortress unleashed tens of thousands of Elemental monsters, including a domain-class Legendary beast, against the attackers.

• The Red Dragon Airship fired eleven Magic Pulse Cannon shots at Starlight Fortress, stunning Crimson Witch, the Storm Heart Adventurer Team, and the other onlookers.
• Maka Frey saw that the bombardment had cracked the fortress walls and believed there was a chance to capture the fortress.

• A giant starlight beast emerged from the fortress, and Crimson Witch recognized it as a domain-class Legendary monster.
