Chapter Summaries

Shi Feng paid to build a city on a defensible mountaintop in Witch's Hill, becoming the first lord of the Star-Moon Kingdom and receiving a Town Teleportation Magic Array Design. With most of his Gold gone, he turned his attention to completing his advancement quest and dealing with the Soul Orb.

• Shi Feng showed Jarvis his City-Building Order and chose a mountaintop near a waterfall in Witch's Hill as the city's location.
• Jarvis warned that the difficult terrain would raise construction costs, and Shi Feng confirmed that he wanted to build there.
• Shi Feng paid 196,000 Gold for construction, registration, and guards, and Jarvis estimated the work would take six to ten days.
• Jarvis gave Shi Feng a Territory Contract, and the system named him the Star-Moon Kingdom's first lord and awarded him a Town Teleportation Magic Array Design.
• Shi Feng noted that the array could connect the new city with Stone Forest Town, then prepared to complete his advancement quest and handle the Soul Orb.

Qi Yitao used Evil Demons to wipe out Guild teams in Shadowblade Ruins and planned to target Zero Wing next. Meanwhile, Shi Feng prepared Candlelight Trading Firm to produce Basic Runes and began upgrading his weapon before pursuing his class change quest and Holy Ten inheritance.

• Qi Yitao sent five Level 55 Lord-ranked Evil Demons to destroy a hundred-player team, then transformed the fallen players into three Evil Demons.
• Shi Feng asked Melancholy Smile to recruit five trustworthy advanced enchanters under strict contracts.

• Shi Feng gave the five enchanters the Basic Rune Compendium and offered a share of future Holy City slots to the top producer.
• Shi Feng took out Level 45 weapons and began devouring them to upgrade his Level 40 Abyssal Walker.

Shi Feng upgraded the Abyssal Walker by sacrificing rare weapons, gaining a powerful Level 45 sword while noting the danger of advancing it further. On his way to the library, Water Rose warned him that several high-resource maps in Star-Moon Kingdom had been sealed off and players inside had vanished or lost contact.

• Shi Feng fed thirty Level 45 Adamantite weapons and ten Dark Gold weapons to the Abyssal Walker, transforming it and raising its power.
• Shi Feng inspected the upgraded sword, decided not to risk advancing it to Level 50 yet, and prepared for his Tier 2 class-change quest.
• Shi Feng stored unneeded items, took scrolls and potions, and traveled toward the library.
• Water Rose told Shi Feng that Shadowblade Ruins and several other maps had been sealed off, with players inside missing and communications blocked.
• Shi Feng checked the Star-Moon Kingdom forums and found reports of sealed maps, missing players, and monster-filled areas.

Shi Feng tried to use Star-Moon Royal City's troubles to attract players to White River City and promote it, while Yi Xiao Duzang ordered Dark Guilds to bring chaos there. At the library, Shi Feng accepted a dangerous Tier 2 Blade Saint class-change quest and had to choose among Hell, Asura, and Heaven difficulties.

• Shi Feng told Water Rose that Star-Moon Royal City's crisis could help White River City attract players and earn a promotion, then ordered Zero Wing to recruit and Candlelight Trading Firm to discount daily consumables by twenty percent.
• Players flocked to discuss Zero Wing's offers, while Yi Xiao Duzang vowed to seize Stone Forest Town and ordered Dark Guilds to attack players in White River City.
• Shi Feng visited Xia Lian in the White River City Library and handed over 188 Magic Crystal Stones and 10,000 Gold to accept the Blade Saint's Tier 2 class-change quest.
• Xia Lian warned Shi Feng that failure could cost more than one death, bar him from quests for twenty days, and leave him stranded in a place where Return Scrolls did not work.
• Xia Lian offered Shi Feng a choice of Hell, Asura, or Heaven difficulty, and Shi Feng realized that even the quest's lowest difficulty was beyond the options known in his previous life.

Shi Feng considered the difficulty of his class advancement and chose to challenge Asura Grade after Xia Lian warned him that God Grade meant fighting a newborn god and Asura Grade offered only a slim chance of survival. Xia Lian opened a divine passage, and Shi Feng entered it, leaving his return uncertain.

• Shi Feng recalled failing to reach the threshold of a Hell-Grade advancement quest in his previous life and weighed the unknown Asura and God Grades against his current strength.
• Xia Lian told Shi Feng that God Grade was a trial for newborn gods and that Asura Grade offered roughly one chance in ten, then advised him to choose Hell-Grade.
• Shi Feng chose Asura Grade, reasoning that he needed to take risks to surpass his limits and that a more difficult quest promised greater rewards.
• Xia Lian used 188 Magic Crystal Stones and divine script to summon and stabilize a golden door that nearly crushed the library floor.
• Xia Lian opened a silver-white spacetime passage, and Shi Feng rushed through it as she warned him she could not maintain it for long.

• Shi Feng emerged from the spatial passage in the Dark Grand Canyon and activated a quest to gather the Seven Luminaries Source Stones and seal Demon King Stolas.
• Shi Feng avoided the Nine-Headed Vultures above the canyon and descended into a hidden courtyard, where he used the Gravity Ring to counter its powerful gravity.
• Shi Feng discovered Moonlight Courtyard, the Moon God's former research site, and recognized it as a possible source of items to restore the Soul Orb and a lead on the Divine Crystal.
• Shi Feng used an Invisibility Potion and the Eye of Omniscience to cross the monster-filled outer courtyard without provoking its beasts.
• Shi Feng reached the inner section and saw rare herbs in a garden, many of them eaten by magical beasts.
• Shi Feng spotted a Moonlight Fruit and recalled that eating one could strengthen a player's physique.

Shi Feng sought Moonlight Fruits in a monster-filled herb garden and drew Silver Moon Demon Rats away in small groups with a summoned Battleaxe Demon. After killing three rats, he discovered that they had dropped Seven Luminaries Fragments.

• Shi Feng spotted six Silver Moon Demon Bears guarding a Moonlight Fruit tree and decided he had to clear the herb garden’s monsters.
• Shi Feng summoned a Level 60 Tier 2 Battleaxe Demon, boosted his attributes with potions, and used stealth to lure two Silver Moon Demon Rats away from the garden.
• Shi Feng led the rats more than a hundred yards away before engaging them, and another rat followed without drawing the rest of the nearby group.
• Shi Feng and the Battleaxe Demon defeated the three Silver Moon Demon Rats in under twenty minutes.
• Shi Feng found a Seven Luminaries Fragment among the rats’ drops and was shocked that they had dropped one.

Shi Feng farmed Silver Moon Demon Rats in the Dark Grand Canyon, collecting Seven Luminaries Fragments and rare growth-set equipment while discovering that time passed ten times faster there than in the real world. As he returned to lure more rats, one began evolving amid a surge of magic power.

• The Silver Moon Demon Rats trembled as magic power surged through the herb garden, and Shi Feng saw one rat grow larger and begin evolving.

Shi Feng tried to stop a Silver Moon Demon Rat’s bloodline evolution before it could become a Primordial Species, then lured it from the herb garden and struck it with a summoned Shadow Lion. The rat forced its evolution amid Shi Feng’s attack, leaving him facing its transformed form.

• Shi Feng saw a Silver Moon Demon Rat undergoing bloodline evolution and realized it could become a Tier 3 Primordial Species if it awakened its bloodline.
• Shi Feng used a Tier 3 Frost Sky scroll to freeze and injure the evolving rat, slowing its mana absorption and provoking it to charge after him.
• Shi Feng fled from the herb garden, parried the rat’s attack, and drew it toward his summoned creatures while the other rats stayed away.
• Shi Feng used the Tier 2 Demons as a feint, then had his Tier 3 Shadow Lion ambush the rat and followed up with Flame Spirit Storm.
• The Silver Moon Demon Rat endured the flames, changed form, and began forcing its evolution.

Shi Feng fought and defeated the weakened Level 64 Silver Moon Rat King by controlling Shadow Lion and attacking alongside his demons. The Rat King’s death granted Shi Feng a huge amount of experience and left a pile of golden items.

• The Silver Moon Rat King evolved into a weakened Level 64 Primordial Species and attacked Shi Feng with overwhelming speed and power.
• Shi Feng used Divine Shadow Step and its phantoms to evade the Rat King’s attacks while striking it, then brought Shadow Lion and two second-order Demons into the fight.

• After nearly an hour, the Rat King unleashed a ground attack that badly injured the demons and Shadow Lion, but Shi Feng survived with defensive skills.
• Shi Feng activated Heavenly Dragon's Power and used Phantom Kill, Nine-Headed Dragon Slash, Divine Grace, and Flame Burst to kill the exhausted Rat King.
• Shi Feng’s experience rose to Level 50, 69%, and the Rat King dropped a pile of golden items.

• Shi Feng looted sixteen Seven Luminaries Fragments, valuable set gear, scrolls, gems, and a Bloodline Essence from the Silver Moon Rat King.
• Shi Feng fed the Bloodline Essence to the Magic Flame War Tiger, raising it to Lord rank with strength close to a High Lord.
• Shi Feng logged out and found messages about the White Tiger Martial Arts School's friendly tournament, which would begin the next day and offer substantial prizes.
• Shi Feng read that the tournament had drawn more than ten thousand applicants, then Xiao Yu called him in a panic.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan worried that Beidou Fitness Center would be outmatched by White Tiger Martial Arts School in the under-twenty competition, while Shi Feng made no promises. After clearing the herb garden of Silver Moon Demon Rats in God's Domain, Shi Feng encountered three legendary Darklight Wyrmlings.

• Xiao Yan warned Xiao Yu that White Tiger Martial Arts School had sent three main-branch experts to compete, and Xiao Yu decided Beidou would participate despite the risk.

• Shi Feng fled the herb garden when three Darklight Wyrmlings arrived carrying Dark Magus Raymond and two Tier 3 Demons.
• Shi Feng recognized Raymond as a legendary Tier 5 Saint Magus and waited motionless while he gathered herbs.

• Raymond left the garden, ordering the two Tier 3 Demons to guard the Soulflowers.
• Shi Feng summoned Anna and Kate and sent them to attack the two guards.

Shi Feng and his allies defeated two Level 70 Demon Hunters guarding the herb garden, and he discovered valuable Mutated Rainbow Tree seeds among their drops. He harvested the garden’s herbs and logged out to attend the White Tiger Martial Arts School competition.

• Anna summoned a Golden Giant and ten Rock Guards to trap and weaken the two Demon Hunters, while Kate joined the fight.
• Shi Feng, Kate, Anna, the Magic Flame War Tiger, and two Tier 2 Demons killed the Demon Hunters in less than half an hour.

• The 768 contestants entered thirty-two groups, and spectators recognized White Tiger standouts Gu Chen and Yi Yuqing among the competitors.
• Xie Qiwen noticed You Ziping beside Arena No. 14 and was astonished to see him competing.

Xie Qiwen learned that You Ziping was competing for Big Dipper Training Hall and arranged to target him while making Big Dipper’s matches a broadcast priority. As Sword Shadow faced a powerful seeded fighter in a group of death, Xiao Yu feared the match would end badly.

• Xie Qiwen ordered Gu Chen, Yi Yuqing, and Liao Huajie to cripple You Ziping if he advanced.
