Chapter Summary

Key plot points and events

• Bai Xuan chooses three Character Settings for his first summoned Legend: Holy Knight, Lightless Sword, and—after refreshing the options—Succubus.
• The summon produces Xilin, a beautiful but emotionally reserved female knight who swears to fight for justice, the world, and Bai Xuan.

The Lightless Sword is invisible; Xilin appears to grip it despite there being nothing in her hand.

• Power and responsibility: Bai Xuan’s new abilities immediately lead him into a dangerous public crisis.
• Beauty and brutality: Xu Yan’s admiring language about her victim’s appearance sharply contrasts with her violent treatment of her.
• Oaths and allegiance: Xilin’s solemn vows frame her relationship with Bai Xuan and her role as a knight.

Key plot points and events

• Xu Yan kills Officer Liu Feng, destroys his radio, and emerges from an alley to attack the responding police. Her Scorpion-Tail Kagune blocks bullets, heals her wounds, and pierces officers and their protective gear.
• More officers arrive, but they cannot stop her. Team Two’s captain, Liu Qian, learns that the Investigation Bureau’s team is still assembling and must hold the line until help arrives.
• Xu Yan targets Liu Qian, overwhelms the officers, and prepares to abduct and eat her.
• A beam of golden light strikes Xu Yan, forcing her to release Liu Qian. Xilin, a blonde woman in white-and-gold armor, arrives and challenges the ghoul with an invisible sword of light.
• Xilin cuts off Xu Yan’s arm; the golden glow on the wound prevents it from healing. Xu Yan retaliates with two Kagune, and the two begin a rapid, evenly matched fight as the police watch in astonishment.

Character interactions

• Xu Yan taunts and hunts the police, singling out Liu Qian as her next victim.
• Liu Qian’s team tries to protect her and hold position, while urgently requesting help.

• Xilin restores some of Bai Xuan’s comfort with healing light. When Bai Yu messages that she is coming home, Bai Xuan realizes he must explain Xilin’s presence.
• On the drive home, Liu Qian recounts the rescue to Bai Yu and complains about the risks of police work.

Character developments and interactions

• Xilin proves overwhelmingly capable in battle and remains composed and dutiful afterward. She also shows quiet care by healing Bai Xuan.

• At the Public Security Bureau, investigators connect Xu Yan to the recent disappearances but realize she probably is not responsible for all of them. They locate the missing people’s bodies at a private hospital in Gongshu District.

• Bai Yu is deeply disturbed by the discovery of experimentally abused bodies—more than she has been by previous missions. She tries to shield Bai Xuan from the case’s details.

• Bai Xuan watches from a nearby rooftop. Xilin has killed nineteen zombies, leaving his mission one kill short, though the hospital is now free of undead.
• Bai Xuan spots two observers on another rooftop: a furious doctor and a hulking zombie he calls Bruce. The doctor admits he arranged for police to find the bodies so he could test his zombies, blaming Xu Yan for disrupting his plans.

• Power and vulnerability: The doctor’s confidence collapses when confronted by opponents stronger than his creations.

Key plot points and events

• Bai Xuan questions the doctor behind the Zombie outbreak. The doctor claims he was pursuing “evolution” after a female Ghoul gave him a vial of blood from White Sea City. He used a single drop to create powerful, obedient Zombies and hopes to obtain more.
• Realizing Bai Xuan won’t spare him, the doctor attacks. Xilin cuts off his legs, then kills him with holy fire, condemning him for desecrating life.
• A mysterious young woman in a red qipao arrives too late to intervene. She wonders who Bai Xuan and Xilin were.

• Meanwhile, Bai Yu reaches the hospital after the fight and learns that the Female Knight saved people again. Li Hongyou, an investigator from White Sea City, questions Bai Yu and Liu Qian about the Knight and the masked young man accompanying her. Li believes the Knight obeys him as her master.

• Bai Yu continues trying to learn more about the Female Knight, while Li Hongyou searches for information about both the Knight and her apparent master. Their conversation establishes that Bai Xuan’s identity remains hidden.

Significant themes

• The chapter contrasts the doctor’s distorted idea of “evolution” with Xilin’s belief that abusing and desecrating life is unforgivable.
• Hidden identities and mistaken assumptions drive the closing mystery: outsiders interpret the Female Knight’s obedience to Bai Xuan as a master-servant relationship.

Key plot points and events

• Li Hongyou leaves after warning that someone must identify who possesses the object Xu Yan brought into Ninghang City, or many people could die. Huang Xin, assigned to assist her, promises to investigate.
• The next morning, Bai Xuan checks the World Quest interface. Three calamities remain in Ninghang City, including a Sunlight Slime that grows weaker at night.
• Bai Xuan takes Xilin shopping for everyday clothes. The store cannot supply a bra in her size, so he orders custom-made ones. Xilin reveals she has worn the same Holy Robe since she became a Holy Knight at age five.

• Li Hongyou remains stern and mission-focused, while Huang Xin is eager to impress her and confident in the bureau’s interrogation methods. She is unconvinced.

Significant themes

• Duty and danger: Li Hongyou’s investigation and Bai Xuan’s quest both respond to threats that could endanger the city.
• Care and ordinary life: Amid supernatural crises, Bai Xuan’s efforts to provide Xilin with everyday clothes offer her a small taste of normality.
• Contrasting perspectives: The chapter juxtaposes official investigators’ pursuit of a dangerous object with Bai Xuan’s independent, game-like approach to fighting calamities.

• The crowd celebrates the rescue.

• Xilin chooses purification, but the effort rapidly drains her mana and mental strength. She asks Bai Xuan to hold her hand, drawing on his strength to continue. The process leaves him exhausted.
• The flame becomes pure white and gold. Xilin binds it to herself, whereupon it can take the form of a small white rabbit—and, more importantly, become a flame double or transform into equipment.
• Back home, Bai Xuan completes the quest and receives a green Flame Scroll, which can cast fire magic once. Completing five quests raises his map to level 2, granting two daily teleports and the ability to travel to visited locations or friendly units.
• Xilin’s status panel reveals her new purple ability, Flame of Justice: it can create a double, form equipment, or unleash a wide-area holy-fire attack, with a 24-hour cooldown.
• Bai Xuan notes that his Rare Charge has reached 100% and prepares to summon a second Legend.

Character developments and interactions

• Xilin demonstrates her power and resolve by purifying the flame, but the process exposes her limits: she needs Bai Xuan’s strength to finish. She gains a versatile new ability and a playful flame-double that can mimic her appearance.
• Bai Xuan supports Xilin without hesitation, even though the energy transfer leaves him severely drained. He remains focused on developing their strength and is excited by Xilin’s new ability and his upcoming summon.
• Their relationship is shown through trust and cooperation: Xilin openly asks for help, Bai Xuan gives it willingly, and she later supports him as he struggles to stand.

Significant themes

• Trust and mutual support: Xilin and Bai Xuan succeed through shared effort, even when that effort carries a physical cost.
• Purification and transformation: A corrupt, sinister flame is converted into a force associated with justice and light.
• Growth through risk: Completing a challenging quest strengthens both Xilin and the map system, while pointing toward more dangerous future quests.

Key plot points

• Bai Xuan uses a Ruby Dragon Egg to guarantee an Epic summon. After refreshing the available settings, he combines World-Destroying, Bio-Mecha, and Really Likes You.
• The summoned Legend is Marée Alaira, a Ruby Dragon still incubating in an egg for 72 hours. Her stats are all maxed, her affection for Bai Xuan is 100, and she will trust and obey him. Her world-destroying identity is locked until she destroys the world, at which point her quality will rise to Mythic.
• The egg briefly wobbles after Bai Xuan leaves his room, and Xilin appears to notice.
• Bai Yu gives Bai Xuan a dirty bone fragment from Li Hongyou of the Investigation Bureau. The World Book identifies it as a Black Dragon Bone Fragment that can be forged into a Black Dragon Blade.
• Bai Yu is preparing to leave for the Safe House the next day. Bai Xuan plans to secretly inject her with a Gene Enhancer before she goes, and asks Xilin for a way to keep her asleep. Xilin has no sleep spell but offers one that removes pain.

Character developments and interactions

• Bai Xuan is excited by the Dragon’s immense power, but recognizes the danger of pairing her destructive nature with unconditional devotion to him. He intends to use the bond to keep her under control.
• Xilin remains wary and observant: she notices the egg move and questions Bai Xuan’s motives when he asks about putting someone to sleep.
• Bai Yu shows concern for Bai Xuan’s safety while she is away and quietly notices signs that her clothes have been used, though she says nothing.
• Bai Xuan downplays his connection with Li Hongyou, saying she merely watched him play a game.

Significant themes

• Power and risk: The Dragon’s extraordinary abilities come with a potentially catastrophic purpose.
• Trust and control: Her absolute affection may make her obedient, but Bai Xuan’s plan to secretly alter Bai Yu raises questions about consent and protection.
• Secrets and suspicion: The moving egg, Bai Yu’s silent observations, and Xilin’s hesitation hint that Bai Xuan’s actions may not remain unnoticed.

Plot points and events

• Bai Xuan secretly enters Bai Yu’s room while she sleeps and injects her with a Gene Enhancer, using Xilin’s Tears of Light to dull the pain. He hopes the boost will improve Bai Yu’s ability to protect herself.
• A status readout shows Bai Yu is a 23-year-old police officer with notably strong baseline attributes and keen investigative instincts.
• The next morning, Bai Yu senses that she feels unusually light but leaves for the Safe House without investigating the change.
• At school, Bai Xuan learns that a strikingly beautiful transfer student has arrived in a neighboring class, though he has not met her.
• Bai Xuan reflects on his ambition to build a Transcendence organization, which would require powerful allies and a trusted source of funding.
• At the mountain-base Safe House, Bai Yu checks on Liu Qian, who is struggling to sleep there. Huang Xin reassures them that increased personnel and military security should help protect Liu while the investigation continues.
• That evening, Bai Xuan finds Xilin praying. She admits that she has recently been waking with a racing heart and unusual heat and desire, though she does not know why.

Character developments and interactions

• Bai Xuan acts protectively toward Bai Yu, but does so without her knowledge. He is also thinking beyond immediate survival toward building a larger organization.
• Bai Yu remains focused on her police duties and Liu Qian’s safety; the enhancer’s effects are only hinted at by her unexplained lightness.
• Liu Qian is anxious and uncomfortable in the Safe House, but accepts the security measures as necessary.
• Huang Xin provides reassurance about the investigation and the facility’s defenses.
• Xilin appears unsettled by new physical and emotional sensations. Bai Xuan offers to listen, opening a conversation about what may be affecting her.
• Zhao Fan enthusiastically praises the transfer student, prompting Bai Xuan to wonder why his friend seems unusually reverent.

Significant themes

• Protection and secrecy: Bai Xuan tries to safeguard Bai Yu, but his secret intervention raises questions about trust and consent.
• Growing danger and preparation: The Safe House, investigation, and Bai Xuan’s organizational ambitions all reflect the need to prepare for threats.
• Unexplained change: Bai Yu’s altered sensation and Xilin’s new symptoms suggest that powers, enhancements, or other forces may be changing the characters.

Key plot points and events

• Bai Xuan notices that Xilin has been sleeping more since her succubus tail appeared. He suggests she rest, though she remains troubled and prays quietly.
• His Dragon Egg has 45 hours left to incubate. Bai Xuan then uses the World Book to begin an F+ Advancement Mission, encouraged by the assurance that failure will not kill him and that he can retry.
• The mission sends him to a strange hotel corridor outside room 1001. He enters and finds Xu Yan feeding on a woman’s corpse.
• Xu Yan traps Bai Xuan inside the room. She says she can smell something irresistible on him, and recognizes that he carries her power—likely through Xu Yan’s Heart.
• Xu Yan reveals that she eats women who resemble her because she loves herself, then attacks with four Scorpion-Tail Kagune, more than she showed in her earlier fight with Xilin. Bai Xuan prepares to fight back with his Venom Scorpion.

Character developments

• Bai Xuan takes a calculated risk by attempting an advancement alone. Though startled by the gruesome scene and Xu Yan’s strength, he quickly regains focus and considers whether he can learn something from her.
• Xilin appears unsettled by her changing condition, but accepts Bai Xuan’s advice to rest and continues praying.
• Xu Yan is portrayed as both predatory and intensely narcissistic. Her interest in Bai Xuan is personal: she senses her own power in him and regards him as a desirable meal.

Significant themes

• Growth through risk: Bai Xuan’s advancement requires him to face a stronger opponent alone.
• Identity and power: Xu Yan’s presence inside Bai Xuan may connect him to her abilities, making him both a threat and a target.
• Distorted self-love: Xu Yan’s self-obsession drives her to consume women who resemble her.
• Uncertainty: The mission provides no description or hints, while Xu Yan’s increased strength raises questions about what happened before the encounter.

Character interactions

• Bai Xuan gently encourages Xilin to rest, while she remains emotionally distracted.
• Bai Xuan’s awkward, joking reaction to catching Xu Yan feeding contrasts with the horror of the scene.
• Xu Yan turns the encounter into a direct confrontation, taunting Bai Xuan and trying to make him “become one” with her.
