• Wu Zhuo Qun agreed to promote the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's recruitment across the Wushan Region, and Lin Qi decided to search the White Feather Gang stronghold alone.

• Lin Qi activated the silver-black Inheritance Metal Plate and learned that it contained the Energy Secret Technique, the core of the life-transforming Star Energy Construct.

• Lin Qi opened two martial arts hall branch halls and decided to find a hidden location where he could develop the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
• Lin Qi examined the White Feather Gang’s research and realized Isaac had likely never obtained the Mental Secret Technique plate because his vice leader had kept it secret.

• Lin Qi considered taking the severed arm back and using its mental impact as a cultivation aid.

Lin Qi secured the dangerous severed arm while players discovered that dying near it accelerated Mental Secret Technique training. The martial arts hall then announced the Mountain of the Dead and a difficult new Energy Secret Technique, leaving players eager and wary about its risks.

• Lin Qi recognized that the severed arm’s container concealed its true contents, arranged to transport it safely, and considered using it as a weapon against Smiling Skull’s forces.

• A system notification informed Lin Qi that a player had become a Transcendent Lifeform and awarded him authority to activate the Advanced Martial Arts Dojo Roulette.

• Lin Qi registered Chen Ya and saw that her Star Energy Construct Secret Technique was only a beginner-level, 4% semi-finished product.

Lin Qi extracted Chen Ya’s half-finished Star Energy Construct Secret Technique, learned of Star Tower City’s plans to seize the City of Light Chasing, and began cultivating in preparation for war. Meanwhile, players’ use of quantum supercomputers and rapid cultivation drew attention, while Fang Zhen’s group found a woman pursued by armed guards in the Mountain of the Dead.

• Hao Wan used Storm Step to reach Presia, and the two fought fiercely across the valley while Fang Zhen’s group watched and recorded the battle.
• The five Smiling Skull members moved to attack Fang Zhen’s group, but the seven companions activated the Star Energy Construct Secret Technique and unleashed immense life auras.

Presia and her senior brother investigated the grey-robed faction’s actions in the Mountain of the Dead and prepared to intervene in the conflict between the City of Light Chasing and Star Tower City. Meanwhile, Lin Qi learned that a Tianhe Region merchant caravan wanted to meet him, as his players’ raids had made the grey-robed faction notorious among traders.

• Presia suspected the grey-robed faction was the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, but she and her senior brother concluded that their teachers would handle the Tianhe Region evidence while they addressed the Monster Tide.
• Presia’s senior brother said they would visit the City of Light Chasing and Star Tower City to forbid their Blood Condensation Realm experts from fighting each other.
• Lin Qi reviewed the players’ rapid training progress and learned from Meng Wei that a merchant caravan from the Tianhe Region wanted to see him.

After returning to City of Light Chasing, Lin Qi learned that the city lord had summoned the deputy city lords and powerful race chiefs to discuss Star Tower City.

• Luo Wu Shang and Zhang Qingwei discussed the declining profits from raiding caravans and speculated that the main storyline could bring new martial arts hall products.
• Dyson cautiously approached Lin Qi and offered Energy Crystals and discounted Medium Portable Life Detectors, but Lin Qi said the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall lacked enough money to buy them.
• Lin Qi proposed trading a month of training for twenty Bone Forging Realm experts in exchange for the detectors, and Dyson assigned Wuka and nineteen others to the martial arts hall.
• Dyson left with his caravan after agreeing to bring equipment for producing Type III Energy Potions, while Lin Qi took Wuka and the other experts back to City of Light Chasing.
• Lin Qi instructed Qin Mu to manage the trainees, then learned that the city lord had called a meeting about Star Tower City and agreed to attend.

Lin Qi arrived at the Martial Artist Association as Star Tower City pressured City of Light Chasing to surrender, backed by the Holy Blood Mercenary Group.

• A transformed Flame Horn Tribe youth defeated and killed City of Light Chasing’s veteran Deputy City Lord in the arena.
• Hu Lei demanded that City of Light Chasing send another fighter or surrender, then said he had two more transformations in reserve.

Hu Lei used the Holy Blood Mercenary Group’s strength to pressure City of Light Chasing’s races into surrendering resources, while Di Luoya offered Energy Crystals to recruit fighters and revealed he had secured help from a Four Regions Youth Competition top-twenty contestant.

• Lin Qi asked Di Luoya what price he would offer if someone won a match.
