Chapter Summaries

Zhou Fan livestreamed himself clearing the Crimson Forest human forbidden zone, impressing viewers and catching the attention of Ye Chen, who challenged him to meet in the Imperial Capital. After returning home, Zhou Fan started bathing in the Azure Bathtub, and Lin Qianqian unexpectedly entered the bathroom.

• Zhou Fan used Susanoo and Kagutsuchi to kill a dozen mutant beasts that ambushed him in the Crimson Forest.
• Zhou Fan livestreamed a two-hour solo run through the forbidden zone, killing more than two hundred third-tier mutant beasts and earning five thousand emotion points.
• Ye Chen watched the livestream, recognized Zhou Fan's strength, and vowed to wait for him in the Imperial Capital for a fight.
• Zhou Fan ended the stream, returned to the villa, and told Lin Qianqian that the blood on him came from mutant beasts.
• Zhou Fan brought out the Azure Bathtub and began soaking in it, but Lin Qianqian entered the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe.

Lin Qianqian invited Zhou Fan to bathe face-to-face in the Azure Bathtub to fulfill a system mission, despite her embarrassment. As they soaked together, Zhou Fan was struck by her beauty and felt the mysterious pressure he had experienced around her before.

• Lin Qianqian entered the bathroom and told Zhou Fan she wanted to bathe with him in the Azure Bathtub.
• The system warned Lin Qianqian that wearing a bathrobe would reduce her mission reward, so she removed it and entered the bathtub in her underwear.
• Lin Qianqian asked Zhou Fan to turn around so they could bathe face-to-face, and he stared at her in surprise.
• Lin Qianqian blushed and covered her chest as Zhou Fan looked at her, triggering an embarrassment notification from the system.
• Zhou Fan felt his heartbeat quicken and recognized the mysterious pressure he had experienced around Lin Qianqian before.

Lin Qianqian completed her bathing and massage challenges with Zhou Fan, earning a Gold Chest and a Diamond Chest. After she finished massaging him, Zhou Fan insisted on returning the favor, leaving Lin Qianqian flustered.

• Zhou Fan and Lin Qianqian awkwardly faced each other while bathing, then argued about their relative strength and splashed water at each other.

• Lin Qianqian persuaded Zhou Fan to let her massage him, then completed the task and received a Diamond Chest.
• Zhou Fan insisted on returning the favor and began massaging Lin Qianqian, making her feel hot and uncomfortable.

After completing the system’s tasks, Lin Qianqian left Zhou Fan’s bathroom and opened her Gold and Diamond Chests. She absorbed two Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, gained new powers and items, and became confident she could beat Zhou Fan in their contest.

• Lin Qianqian stopped Zhou Fan’s massage when he touched her sensitive waist, then hurried back to her room after finishing the system’s tasks.
• Lin Qianqian opened the Gold Chest and Diamond Chest, obtaining two S-Rank superpowers, two gems, and two Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones.
• Lin Qianqian absorbed both Spirit Stones and advanced from Third Tier, 3-Star to Third Tier, 4-Star.
• Lin Qianqian decided her new powers and items would let her win the contest, believing she had caught up to Zhou Fan.

Lin Qianqian began her third simulated comparison against Zhou Fan, confident that her superior cultivation and new items would let her win. She sealed his powers and nearly gained the advantage, but Zhou Fan recovered, activated Sage Mode, and summoned two tailed beasts, whose attacks overwhelmed her.

• At midnight, Lin Qianqian refused to postpone the comparison and chose to control the simulated battle herself.
• Lin Qianqian opened with the Sealing Gem, but Zhou Fan used Peerless State and struck her with the Star Shatter Halberd.

• Zhou Fan summoned Shukaku and Matatabi, and the two tailed beasts hit Lin Qianqian with Tailed Beast Bombs.

Lin Qianqian fought Zhou Fan in two simulated battles and lost despite changing her strategy, as Zhou Fan revealed that Sage Mode could resist the Sealing Gem and that the apparent corpse was a Wood Clone. She rejected the system’s warning that she had little chance in a direct rematch and prepared to try Sexy Jutsu instead.

• After losing the first simulation to Zhou Fan’s summons, Lin Qianqian planned to defeat him within the Sealing Gem’s five-minute limit.
• In the second battle, Lin Qianqian used the Origin Gem, Spirit Spring Gem, and a hundred thousand Explosive Tags against Zhou Fan.
• Lin Qianqian mistook Zhou Fan’s Wood Clone for his corpse, and Zhou Fan emerged with Susanoo and defeated her, explaining that Sage Mode resisted the Sealing Gem.
• After the system announced her second loss, Lin Qianqian demanded another challenge and decided to use the Sexy Jutsu from Xia Qingran’s book.

Lin Qianqian used Sexy Jutsu and layered seals to try to defeat Zhou Fan in their simulated battle, but he broke free with Perfect Susanoo and won. Her punishment was to sleep with Zhou Fan, with extra rewards for completing increasingly intimate challenges.

• Lin Qianqian used Sexy Jutsu to distract Zhou Fan, then boosted herself and trapped him with the Sealing Gem, Sealing Tags, and Paper-Style Barrier.
• Zhou Fan broke through the seals with Perfect Susanoo and split the simulated space with one sword strike, winning the battle.
• The system assigned Lin Qianqian a punishment task to sleep together with Zhou Fan in exchange for an S-Rank Superpower Book and a permanent high-grade item.
• Lin Qianqian questioned the task, while the system reminded her of her previous intimate interactions with Zhou Fan and encouraged her to complete it.
• The system added challenges offering chests if Lin Qianqian let Zhou Fan rest his head on her lap, slept in his arms, and gave him a goodnight kiss.

Lin Qianqian resisted the system’s intimate challenge missions but resolved to train on her own and catch up to Zhou Fan. Meanwhile, Zhou Fan was assigned to help Class Six and recommended Zhao Qiu for the Evening Bell.

• Lin Qianqian rejected the system’s extra challenge missions, though she worried that Zhou Fan’s strength—especially his Perfect Susanoo—would be difficult to overcome.
• The next morning, Zhou Fan noticed Lin Qianqian’s resentful mood, but assumed she was unwell and left the subject alone.
• At the Training Ground, Xia Qingran told Zhou Fan she had lent him to Wang Yiyi’s Class Six to help with a mission.
• Zhou Fan recommended that his friend Zhao Qiu, who had an A-Rank Superpower, join the Evening Bell, and Xia Qingran accepted his judgment.
• Lin Qianqian declined Xia Qingran’s offer of a tailored training plan and chose to train independently so she could defeat Zhou Fan without relying on the system’s rewards.

Zhou Fan joined Wang Yiyi’s Class Six for a mission to clear mutant beasts near Falling Moon City. He set off with Zhao Qiu, Li Mengmeng, and Situ Ya aboard a Gale Eagle.

• Zhou Fan arrived at Class Six and offered to fill the team’s vacant spot for its mission.
• Wang Yiyi introduced Zhou Fan to Li Mengmeng and Situ Ya, whose S-rank water ability was already at third tier, 1 star.
• Wang Yiyi explained that the team would clear mutant beasts still lurking outside Falling Moon City after a beast tide had been driven back.
• Wang Yiyi led the group to the university’s flying-beast area, where they boarded a Gale Eagle and headed for Falling Moon City.

Wang Yiyi and her students arrived in Falling Moon City to help deal with the mutant beasts left after a beast tide. After hearing the city’s forces were limited and the strongest beast was third tier, five stars, Wang Yiyi agreed to take on the mission.

• Zhou Fan and Zhao Qiu chatted aboard the Gale Eagle as they flew toward Falling Moon City with Wang Yiyi, Li Mengmeng, and Situ Ya.
• Falling Moon City’s guards stopped the Gale Eagle, checked Wang Yiyi’s Xinghai University badge, and escorted the group into the city.
• Principal Zheng Yao welcomed the group and brought them to the command room to explain the danger outside the city.
• Zheng Yao reported that twenty to thirty mutant beasts remained in a western valley, including one third-tier, five-star elite, while the city could provide seven Espers.
• Wang Yiyi said her group and the city’s seven Espers would be enough and accepted the mission.

Wang Yiyi led Zhou Fan and a group of students and city fighters in an ambush on a valley full of mutant beasts. The battle began, and Wang Yiyi engaged the Blue Crystal Lion King, but her wind blades failed to penetrate its crystal armor.

• Li Mengmeng sensed twenty-five mutant beasts inside the valley, and Wang Yiyi split the group into a frontal attack and flanking support.
• Wang Yiyi assigned Zhao Qiu, Situ Ya, and Li Mengmeng their roles, while Zhou Fan chose to act independently.
• Zhao Qiu seized the two Demon Wolves guarding the valley entrance and slammed them together, alerting the beasts inside.
• Zhao Qiu, Situ Ya, and Li Mengmeng fought the charging beasts as Teacher Wu and his group attacked from the flanks.
• Wang Yiyi found the Blue Crystal Lion King and attacked it with wind blades, but its crystal plates absorbed the strikes without injury.

Wang Yiyi and the others fought the Mutant Beasts in the valley until the Blue Crystal Lion King transformed into a Fourth Tier, 1 Star Golden Crystal Lion King and summoned a much larger force. As the group struggled to escape the encirclement, Zhou Fan saved Situ Ya and charged at the beasts with his Star Shatter Halberd.

• Wang Yiyi wounded the Blue Crystal Lion King, but it transformed into a Golden Crystal Lion King and broke through to Fourth Tier, 1 Star.

• Wang Yiyi ordered everyone to break through, and Situ Ya opened a gap with her Abyssal Water attack before a Demon Tiger attacked her.
• Zhou Fan killed the Demon Tiger with his Star Shatter Halberd and saved Situ Ya.
• Zhou Fan faced the Golden Crystal Lion King and charged into the attacking Mutant Beasts, declaring, "I am unstoppable!"

Zhou Fan single-handedly defeated the mutant beast horde in the valley, including the Golden Crystal Lion King, and returned with the Falling Moon City team. After the exhausted group reported their success to Principal Zheng Yao, a hidden observer marked Zhou Fan as their prey.

• Zhou Fan charged through the mutant beasts, killing them with his Star Shatter Halberd and burning the Golden Crystal Lion King to ashes with Amaterasu.
• Wang Yiyi, Li Mengmeng, and the other Espers were stunned by Zhou Fan's strength, while Situ Ya apologized for having underestimated him.
• Wang Yiyi led the group back to Falling Moon City, where they reported the mutant beasts' ambush to Principal Zheng Yao.

• As Zhou Fan and the others entered a hotel, a figure watching from a nearby street corner called him their prey.

A black-clad intruder broke into Zhou Fan’s hotel room to capture him, but Zhou Fan resisted the spiderweb attacks and turned the tables. The chapter ended with the intruder believing Zhou Fan was bound, while Zhou Fan calmly challenged him to look again.

• Zhou Fan went to sleep in his luxury hotel suite with the window open.
• A black-clad man lowered himself to Zhou Fan’s window and filled the room with knockout smoke.
• Zhou Fan woke unharmed, kicked the intruder out the window, and confronted him outside.
• The intruder attacked Zhou Fan with spiderwebs and web blades, but Zhou Fan countered with throwing knives and fire techniques.
• The intruder circled behind Zhou Fan and cast a web over him, then celebrated his apparent victory.
• Zhou Fan calmly told the intruder to look and see who was actually tied up.

Zhou Fan defeated a Jashin Cult assassin and used his Sharingan to learn that the cult was a bounty organization, but the captured assassin died before revealing its base. Zhou Fan was left without the identity of the person who placed the bounty on him.

• Zhou Fan trapped the spider-man in his Genjutsu, but a second man in black killed the captive with a flying knife before Zhou Fan could question him.
• Zhou Fan fought the second assassin, countering his water techniques with a larger Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
• The man in black tried to escape under cover of mist, but Zhou Fan caught him and placed him under his Sharingan's Genjutsu.
• The assassin revealed that he belonged to the Jashin Cult, a bounty organization, and that its members did not know who had posted the bounty on Zhou Fan.
• The assassin began to reveal the organization's base, then coughed up blood and died before he could finish.

After two Jashin Cult assassins attacked Zhou Fan and died, Zhou Fan learned the cult might be active near Devil Forest. He and Zhao Qiu left to investigate, while Wang Yiyi and the others stayed behind.

• Zhou Fan discovered that a black-clad assassin had died after revealing the Jashin Cult, and told Wang Yiyi and the others that the cult had taken a bounty to capture him.

• Zhao Qiu insisted on accompanying Zhou Fan, despite Wang Yiyi suggesting they ask the school's Execution Department for backup.
• Zhou Fan and Zhao Qiu set off for Devil Forest to look for the Jashin Cult.

Zhou Fan and Zhao Qiu traveled to the Devil Forest, where they encountered the Jashin Cult and its immortal leader. The leader invited them to join, but Zhou Fan rejected the cult as evil.

• Zhou Fan told Zhao Qiu that Xia Qingran had approved his membership in Evening Bell, and the two discussed the organization's name before heading to the Devil Forest.
• In the Devil Forest, Jashin Cult members fought mutant beasts without feeling pain, but several were killed and the rest retreated.
• The Jashin Cult leader survived severe wounds, defeated more than a dozen mutant beasts, and explained how Lord Jashin's blessing granted immortality and restored pain.
• Zhou Fan and Zhao Qiu approached the group, and the Jashin Cult leader invited them to join and gain immortal bodies.
• Zhou Fan refused, saying he was a good student and did not believe in evil cults.

Zhou Fan and Zhao Qiu confronted Duan Fei, the leader of the Jashin Cult, to find out who had placed a bounty on Zhou Fan. After discovering Duan Fei had an immortal body, Zhou Fan tested his abilities, and Duan Fei began a ritual to share his pain with Zhou Fan.

• Zhao Qiu took on the Jashin Cult members while Zhou Fan challenged Duan Fei for information about the bounty.
• Zhou Fan swiftly attacked Duan Fei with taijutsu and fire techniques, but Duan Fei emerged unharmed and fought back with his scythe.
• After Zhou Fan pinned Duan Fei with a wooden spike, Duan Fei pulled it out and revealed that pain only excited him.
• Zhou Fan recognized Duan Fei's immortal body and continued testing his combat abilities, allowing Duan Fei to cut his arm with the scythe.
• Duan Fei drew a ritual circle with his blood, darkened his skin, and stabbed himself in the heart while calling on Lord Jashin.

• Duan Fei explained that schools had rejected him after he tried to recruit the principal's daughter into the Jashin Cult.
• Zhou Fan asked whether Duan Fei had killed innocent people, and Duan Fei said he offered mutant beast flesh and blood to Lord Jashin.

Zhou Fan recruited Duan Fei into his organization after learning he had not killed people indiscriminately. On the journey back to Xinghai University, Duan Fei explained that Jashin had saved him and given him an immortal body, leaving Zhou Fan wondering whether the god truly existed.

• Zhou Fan accepted Duan Fei into his organization, and Duan Fei insisted he would continue making offerings to Jashin.
