Chapter Summaries

Shi Feng gave Candlelight Trading Firm the Stamina Secret Potion as a new product to counter its rivals, while Stone Forest Town attracted players with a new Arena floor and its first wandering merchants. The chapter ended with Qin Muyun warning Blackwater’s Guild Leader that Young Master Jing was displeased with his failure to deal with Stone Forest Town.

• Melancholy Smile told Shi Feng that Blackwater Trading Firm and World Trading Firm were undercutting Candlelight Trading Firm’s Light Stone business, and Shi Feng decided to replace Light Stones as its main product.
• Shi Feng gave Melancholy Smile the Alchemy Codex and instructed her to have a trusted alchemist learn the Stamina Secret Potion recipe.
• Melancholy Smile examined the potion’s effects and low production cost, then left to choose people to learn the recipe.
• Stone Forest Town completed the underground floor of its Arena and welcomed its first wandering merchants, whose rare goods drew excited crowds and spread news across the kingdom’s forums.
• Qin Muyun entered the Blackwater Guild Leader’s office and told him that Young Master Jing was dissatisfied with his handling of Stone Forest Town.

Qi Yitao acknowledged that Zero Wing's growth was making Stone Forest Town harder for Blackwater Guild to capture and ordered Qin Muyun to tell Young Master Jing to wait while Blackwater prepared its sacrifices for Black Robe. Meanwhile, Shi Feng joined the Golden Sand Exchange and was led by Harold to its second-floor treasures, where he discovered five prized items protected by a Master Magic Array.

• Qi Yitao told Qin Muyun to assure Young Master Jing that Blackwater Guild would soon take Stone Forest Town and to inform Black Robe that his sacrifices were ready.
• Shi Feng teleported to the Golden Sand Exchange, entered its vast interior, and met Harold, the powerful High Elf butler.
• Shi Feng paid 10,000 Magic Crystals to become an exchange member and followed Harold to the second-floor hall.
• Harold presented the exchange's five prized items, and Shi Feng was shocked to see they were protected by a Master Magic Array.

Shi Feng discovered that the Golden Sand Exchange sold magic array manuals and examined three options, including the intermediate-rank Holy Beast Descent. He recognized its potential in guild wars but had not yet chosen or purchased a manual.

• Harold offered to show Shi Feng magic array manuals after noticing his interest in the Grandmaster-rank array.
• Shi Feng rejected the Exchange’s five recommended treasures because their prices were too high.
• Harold led Shi Feng to three manuals: Thirteen Totem Pillars, Double Guardian Barrier, and Holy Beast Descent.
• Shi Feng considered Holy Beast Descent’s ability to turn eighty-eight Summoners’ mana into a powerful summoned fighter, despite its demanding activation and high cost.

Shi Feng bought two rare magic array manuals from the Golden Sand Exchange and traveled by speedboat to the Wild Ancient Land, where he hoped to locate an otherworld portal. As he prepared to explore, Water Rose warned him that Pantheon’s three core legions had infiltrated Star-Moon Royal City.

• Shi Feng bought the Sacred Beast Summoning and Double Guardian Barrier manuals for 36,000 Magic Crystals and learned that senior exchange membership required spending far more.
• Shi Feng left the exchange and took the Swift Dragon Speedboat from Sea Watch Town toward the Wild Ancient Land, considering the profits of establishing a shipping route.
• Shi Feng reached the Wild Ancient Land in just over ten minutes, stored his speedboat, and created a doppelganger to help him explore safely.
• Water Rose called Shi Feng and reported that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had discovered Pantheon’s three core legions secretly entering Star-Moon Royal City.

Shi Feng arranged defenses for Stone Forest Town and established teleportation coordinates near the Otherworldly Teleportation Gate before returning to White River City to prepare Magic Scrolls. Water Rose then reported that Blackwater and the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion had cut off Zero Wing's routes and launched attacks, leaving Stone Forest Town isolated and Bai Qingxue overwhelmed.

• Shi Feng told Water Rose to discreetly send materials and workers to Stone Forest Town to begin building Magic Tower frameworks.
• Shi Feng teleported into the Wild Ancient Land, narrowly escaped a Level 110 Forest Old Treant, and later reached the Otherworldly Teleportation Gate.
• Shi Feng used a Demon-Repelling Scroll to drive away nearby monsters and established teleportation coordinates by the gate.
• Shi Feng returned to White River City to make Magic Scrolls as Blackwater showed signs of attacking.
• Water Rose told Shi Feng that guild teleportation and Return Scrolls to Stone Forest Town had stopped working, Blackwater had blockaded the nearest connected NPC town, and Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion members were slaughtering Zero Wing players in Lakeheart City.

After Blackwater Guild and Pantheon sealed off the route to Stone Forest Town, Shi Feng prepared to defend the town while Water Rose rushed there to take command. As Blackwater and Heavenly Burial gathered forces in Sem Town, the Star-Moon Kingdom watched the coming siege, and Pantheon deployed one of its ace legions.

• Water Rose reported that guild teleportation scrolls could not be used, and Shi Feng suspected a Sealing Boundary Magic Array had blocked the route.
• Shi Feng sent Water Rose and the mounted members ahead to direct Stone Forest Town's defenses and warned them about a possible ambush.
• Shi Feng entered Candlelight Trading Firm and began producing Magic Scrolls, planning to reach Stone Forest Town using the Seven Luminaries Ring's Spatial Movement rather than organize an army.
• Blackwater Guild's blockade and the arrival of Blackwater and Heavenly Burial forces in Sem Town prompted players and guilds across the Star-Moon Kingdom to discuss the looming siege.
• Yuan Tiexin watched Pantheon's legion march through Sem Town and noted that Pantheon had sent one of its four ace legions against Zero Wing.

Yuan Tiexin recognized Nine Kills, the Dark Blade vice commander who had once killed Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s third vice guild leader, among the Crimson Jade Legion and feared for Zero Wing’s chances. Meanwhile, Blackwater and Heavenly Burial prepared a massive assault on Stone Forest Town, and Misty Glow reported that cloaked players believed to be Zero Wing’s upper echelons were approaching.

• Yuan Tiexin identified Nine Kills, known as Saint Hand, and told Zi Qiong that Dark Blade’s presence made Stone Forest Town difficult for Zero Wing to defend.
• Independent players gathered outside Sem Town and discussed Blackwater’s recruitment of experts and its growing ranks of elite members.
• Qin Muyun told Yi Xiao Duzang that Blackwater would clean up after the attack while Heavenly Burial blocked Zero Wing’s reinforcements.
• Misty Glow reported that several cloaked players on mounts were heading toward Stone Forest Town and appeared to be Zero Wing’s upper echelons.

Yi Xiao Duzang sent Ghost Shadow and the Ghost Shadow Legion to intercept Water Rose’s group, suspecting that a Zero Wing commander might be among them. Ghost Shadow’s ambush trapped the five Zero Wing members inside a magic barrier, and the attack began.

• Yi Xiao Duzang ordered Ghost Shadow and his experts to stop Zero Wing’s group, and Misty Glow decided to join them.
• Ghost Shadow prepared to fight the approaching Zero Wing members, hoping to confront Fire Dance and avenge his earlier defeat.
• North Wind Low-Key spotted a hundred Heavenly Burial Guild players lying in wait, but Water Rose chose to force a path through them.
• Ghost Shadow’s magic users activated the Six-Star Crimson Flame Array, trapping Water Rose’s group inside its barrier.
• Ghost Shadow sent the ambushers forward as the melee and ranged fighters attacked Water Rose and her companions.

Water Rose and her companions fought off the Ghost Shadow Legion, whose opening attack was blocked by Zi Yan Liu Yun before Half-Summer Allure wiped out much of their force with a large-scale spell. As the legion regrouped and charged, Sword Shadow used Crimson Moon and his Berserker skills to cut down the attackers.

• Zi Yan Liu Yun used Absolute Realm to block the Ghost Shadow Legion's volley of spells and arrows.
• Half-Summer Allure unleashed a large-scale destruction spell that scorched the battlefield and killed more than half of the Ghost Shadow Legion's hundred-man team.
• Misty Glow rallied the surviving legion members and sent their melee fighters charging at Water Rose and her companions.
• Sword Shadow drew Crimson Moon and used Whirlwind to send the first attackers flying.
• Sword Shadow activated Crimson Moon's Boiling Blood effect and used Blade Storm to sweep up nearby players, killing them and scattering their equipment.

Water Rose, Sword Shadow, North Wind Low-Key, Zi Yan Liu Yun, and Half-Summer Allure fought off the Ghost Shadow Legion’s assault. The chapter ended with the four experts killing Ghost Shadow as he tried to retreat.

• Misty Glow ordered the Ghost Shadow Legion to avoid Sword Shadow and attack Water Rose and the rear line, but North Wind Low-Key’s arrows killed a charging Berserker and suppressed the attackers.
• Ghost Shadow and three Assassins ambushed Water Rose and the others, but Water Rose trapped them with Thorn Lock.
• Zi Yan Liu Yun used Mind’s Glow to reveal the vanished Assassins, and Half-Summer Allure’s Fireball Barrage helped Zi Yan Liu Yun kill three of them.
• Ghost Shadow retreated under Zi Yan Liu Yun’s relentless attacks, but she pulled him back with Gravity Control.
• Water Rose, North Wind Low-Key, Zi Yan Liu Yun, and Half-Summer Allure combined their attacks and killed Ghost Shadow.

Water Rose’s team defeated Misty Glow and Ghost Shadow’s hundred-member force, and videos of the battle made Zero Wing’s strength the talk of Star-Moon Kingdom. As a monster horde approached Stone Forest Town, Water Rose warned Shi Feng, who hurried toward the town.

• Misty Glow ordered the surviving Ghost Shadow Legion members to retreat, and Water Rose refused to chase them, prioritizing Stone Forest Town.
• Independent assassins uploaded videos of the five Zero Wing experts defeating the hundred-man team, drawing widespread attention and changing opinions about Zero Wing’s strength.
• Yi Xiao Duzang ordered Heavenly Burial’s ambush teams to intercept Water Rose’s group, but Water Rose reached Stone Forest Town ahead of them on her Mithril Grade mount.
• Zi Yan Liu Yun told Water Rose that the Magic Tower had detected a vast horde of approaching monsters, and Water Rose ordered her to notify Shi Feng.
• Shi Feng received the warning while making scrolls, stopped work, and teleported toward Stone Forest Town.

Stone Forest Town faced an enormous monster assault, including three Level 65 Legendary monsters and Blackwater’s summoned creatures. Shi Feng arrived as Black Flame while Fire Dance’s team set out to find and destroy the devices sealing off the Stoneclaw Mountain Range.

• Water Rose and the defenders spotted more than two hundred thousand monsters approaching Stone Forest Town, including three Level 65 Legendary monsters.
• North Wind Low-Key reported that Qi Yitao and Pantheon leader Eternal Unrivaled had arrived with Blackwater’s forces, which summoned seventeen towering monsters using Tier 3 Summoning Scrolls.
• Qi Yitao and Eternal Unrivaled expected Zero Wing to be unable to defend Stone Forest Town, while Qi Yitao hoped Black Flame would appear.
• Shi Feng gave Fire Dance Exploration Scrolls and Tier 2 Magic Scrolls, ordering her team to find and destroy the devices sealing off the Stoneclaw Mountain Range.
• Shi Feng teleported to Stone Forest Town disguised as Black Flame and activated Battle Mode at the top of the Magic Tower.

Shi Feng activated Stone Forest Town’s Magic Tower defenses as Qi Yitao launched a massive monster assault. The Magic Towers’ power gave Zero Wing a chance to hold the town while Fire Dance worked to turn the battle in their favor.

• Shi Feng activated a Magic Tower, raising a barrier around Stone Forest Town and boosting the attributes, damage, and movement speed of Zero Wing’s members inside.
• Qi Yitao ordered the monster army to attack from every direction, while Shi Feng instructed Water Rose to have the Black God Legion engage the strongest monsters and the town’s defenses target weaker ones.
• Water Rose led Zero Wing’s defenders in firing the cannons and Magic Tower as the monsters charged.
• The cannons killed over a hundred Elite monsters, and the Magic Tower’s seven-colored beam killed thousands of monsters below Lord rank and severely wounded surviving Lords.

Zero Wing used the Double Guardian Barrier to stop Blackwater’s seventeen Tier 3 summoned beasts from reaching Stone Forest Town. As Drunken Laugher’s beasts failed to break through, additional barriers suppressed them and five ballista carts took aim.

• A Magic Tower strike wiped out thousands of monsters and heavily injured nearby Lord-ranked monsters, alarming Qi Yitao and Eternal Unrivaled.
• Qi Yitao ordered Drunken Laugher to lead seventeen Tier 3 summoned beasts against Stone Forest Town’s Magic Towers.
• The summoned beasts dodged the Magic Tower attacks but crashed into the Double Guardian Barrier surrounding the town.
• Drunken Laugher’s beasts battered the barrier for thirty seconds without cracking it, while their own HP fell rapidly.
• The beasts prepared their ultimate skills, but five violet-gold barriers appeared, suppressing their attributes and maximum HP.
• Water Rose ordered five ballista carts on the walls to attack the trapped summoned beasts.

Water Rose’s defenses trapped and killed the Tier 3 summoned beasts, forcing Qi Yitao to bring out Blackwater’s three Legendary monsters. The Evilblood Earth Dragons arrived before Stone Forest Town, leaving Zero Wing facing a far more dangerous assault.

• Water Rose ordered the small ballistae to pin down the summoned beasts while Zero Wing’s forces attacked them, killing two.
• Eternal Unrivaled asked Qi Yitao whether Pantheon should intervene, but Qi Yitao refused and contacted the monsters’ controller about unleashing the three Legendary monsters.
• The bandaged young man confirmed he could strengthen his control of the monsters at the cost of reducing their strength, and Qi Yitao approved.
• Three enormous Evilblood Earth Dragons appeared on the battlefield, and Water Rose anxiously asked her Guild Leader what Zero Wing should do.

Shi Feng prepared Zero Wing to face three Level 65 Legendary Evilblood Earth Dragons, relying on summoned beasts and defensive magic arrays. The Nine-Star Domain fell under the dragons’ assault, but Half-Summer Allure’s Holy Beast Descent summoned a gigantic golden dragon above Stone Forest Town.

• Shi Feng checked Half-Summer Allure’s preparations to control Holy Beast Descent and arranged for Water Rose to provide Tier 3 summoned beasts.
• Water Rose summoned eight Tier 3 beasts as the three Evilblood Earth Dragons approached Stone Forest Town, while Qi Yitao and Eternal Unrivaled assessed Zero Wing’s forces.
• An Evilblood Earth Dragon battered the Nine-Star Domain until it shattered, freeing the summoned beasts trapped inside.
• As another Evilblood Earth Dragon attacked the remaining domain, Half-Summer Allure summoned a gigantic golden dragon above Stone Forest Town.

Blackwater and Pantheon watched Zero Wing’s Holy Dragon Beast confront the Evilblood Earth Dragons outside Stone Forest Town. The chapter left Qi Yitao and the assembled players stunned by the Holy Dragon Beast’s overwhelming strength.

• Eternal Unrivaled suspected Zero Wing had summoned the golden dragon, and Appraisal revealed it was a Level 60 Legendary Holy Dragon Beast.
• Qi Yitao brought out three Goblin Cannons and ordered them to fire on Stone Forest Town’s Nine-Star Domain magic array.
• Before the cannons could be loaded, the Holy Dragon Beast struck an Evilblood Earth Dragon with its tail and sent it flying.
• Half-Summer Allure, controlling the Holy Dragon Beast, experienced its immense power as two more Evilblood Earth Dragons attacked.
• The Holy Dragon Beast’s golden scales repelled their claws, leaving Qi Yitao and the watching players dumbfounded.

The Holy Dragon Beast drove back the Evilblood Earth Dragons, but Pantheon joined Qi Yitao's assault with a powerful magic array. Its Space Shatter Forbidden Curse destroyed the Nine-Star Domain and freed the Tier 3 summoned beasts, leaving Stone Forest Town's defenses exposed.

• Half-Summer Allure's Holy Dragon Beast struck the two Evilblood Earth Dragons and sent them crashing into the ground.
• Qi Yitao agreed to let Pantheon help destroy Stone Forest Town's Magic Tower and cannons in exchange for its promised stake.
• Eternal Unrivaled revealed twenty cloaked assassins carrying scrolls that formed a magic array comparable to a Tier 4 Forbidden Curse.
• Shi Feng recognized the array's Space Shatter spell and warned everyone to leave its range.
• The Space Shatter spell broke the Nine-Star Domain and Double Guardian Barrier, killed the players caught inside, and freed the Tier 3 summoned beasts.
• Qi Yitao ordered the summoned beasts to destroy Stone Forest Town's defensive structures.

Stone Forest Town’s defenses collapsed under the monster assault, and Drunken Laugher began tearing down a Magic Tower as Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong watched the battle. Just as the town seemed doomed, a vast magic array appeared overhead, and Shi Feng arrived in time to see it.

• Water Rose ordered the MTs to help the NPC guards hold back the monsters after the barrier vanished, but Zero Wing quickly suffered heavy casualties.
• Qi Yitao ordered Drunken Laugher to destroy Stone Forest Town’s Magic Towers and cannons, and Drunken Laugher sent his Tier 3 summoned beasts toward the town center.
• Drunken Laugher struck a Magic Tower repeatedly while Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong concluded that Zero Wing’s defeat was imminent.
• Zi Qiong spotted an enormous deep-blue magic array above Stone Forest Town as mana surged into the town.
• Shi Feng took a deep breath and said that he had arrived just in time.

Zero Wing’s three Magic Towers withstood attacks from Tier 3 summoned beasts by reinforcing and repairing one another, turning the siege against Qi Yitao’s forces. As Drunken Laugher’s summoned beast attacked Shi Feng, Shi Feng blocked a strike and prepared to summon help.

• Drunken Laugher discovered that Zero Wing had built three Magic Towers around Stone Forest Town, and Qi Yitao and Yuan Tiexin were astonished by the costly defenses.
• Drunken Laugher ordered his Tier 3 summoned beast to use Wind Rend on a Magic Tower, but the tower survived and began repairing itself.
• Shi Feng explained that nearby Magic Towers increased one another’s defenses and helped them recover, prompting Qi Yitao to order his forces to destroy them.
• Two more summoned beasts joined Drunken Laugher’s attack, slowing the tower’s recovery, while Shi Feng appeared behind them.
• Drunken Laugher’s summoned beast struck Shi Feng, but Shi Feng blocked the attack with Parry and took out two scrolls to use Guardian Summoning.
