Chapter Summaries

After a month of failing to cultivate on the Dou Qi Continent, Ling Feng accidentally reached the first stage of Dou Qi and activated the Treasure Box Draw System. His first draw awarded him one-tenth of the Ancient Ferocious Beast Taotie’s bloodline power, leaving his rise newly begun.

• Ling Feng reflected on his transmigration, his useless constitution, and the bullying that had killed the original owner of his body.
• Ling Feng went swimming in a secluded lake and surfaced just as a woman undressed nearby, startling her into fleeing.
• Ling Feng discovered that he had reached the first stage of Dou Qi after witnessing the woman, and the Treasure Box Draw System activated.
• Ling Feng learned that he could draw a treasure box each time he advanced a level and used his first available draw.
• Ling Feng chose the second of three treasure boxes and won one-tenth of the Ancient Ferocious Beast Taotie's bloodline power.

Ling Feng fused with Taotie’s bloodline and rapidly advanced to the peak of ninth-stage Dou Qi. The chapter left him eager to reach Dou Zhe and discover what treasure he would draw.

• Ling Feng learned Taotie’s bloodline let him devour things for energy and chose to fuse with it.
• Mittel Ya Fei regrouped with her guards, hid her embarrassment about meeting Ling Feng at the lake, and left in her carriage.
• Ling Feng’s blood fused with the golden liquid, drawing in the surrounding energy as his cultivation surged.
• Ling Feng advanced from second-stage to ninth-stage Dou Qi in one burst but stopped short of becoming a Dou Zhe.
• Ling Feng sensed Taotie’s bloodline could make him stronger with enough resources and looked forward to the treasure he might draw after breaking through to Dou Zhe.

After his bloodline transformation, Ling Feng visited a marketplace and recognized Xiao Yan, who was disputing with the Jia Lie Family. Ling Feng found the Black Iron Fragment he remembered from Xiao Yan’s story, but Xiao Yan outbid him and took it, leaving Ling Feng empty-handed.

• Ling Feng entered a southern marketplace and watched Xiao Yan confront the Jia Lie Family with Xiao Xun'er behind him.
• Remembering that Xiao Yan had found a valuable opportunity there, Ling Feng searched the stalls for the Black Iron Fragment.
• Ling Feng offered the stallholder one silver coin for the fragment and a hairpin, and the stallholder agreed to the deal.
• Xiao Yan interrupted and offered the stallholder a gold coin for the Black Iron Fragment and a Wood-Type Magic Core.
• The stallholder accepted Xiao Yan’s offer, and Ling Feng watched Xiao Yan take the fragment.

After Xiao Yan took the Black Iron Fragment, Ling Feng swallowed his anger and resolved to grow stronger. On the way home, he encountered Xiao Ke and his lackeys, the men responsible for his father's death and his own past suffering, and prepared to fight back.

• Ling Feng left the fragment and hairpin behind, while Xiao Yan learned from Yao Chen that Ling Feng had Ninth Stage Dou Qi.

• Ling Feng headed for his thatched hut and recalled that Xiao Ke and his two companions had killed his father and driven the original Ling Feng to suicide.
• Xiao Ke and his lackeys blocked Ling Feng's way and mocked him, but Ling Feng declared he would no longer endure their bullying.

Ling Feng fought Xiao Ke and his two lackeys, using his ninth-stage Dou Qi to overpower them despite his lack of Dou Techniques. After defeating Xiao Ke, Ling Feng decided to kill him before he could alert the Xiao Clan.

• Xiao Ke ordered Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang to attack Ling Feng, but Ling Feng knocked them both down with one punch each.
• Ling Feng attacked Xiao Ke and initially forced him onto the defensive, but Xiao Ke used Mountain Splitting Palm and Rending Claw Strike to injure Ling Feng's neck.

• Xiao Ke threatened Ling Feng with the Xiao Clan, and Ling Feng said he would kill them all and hide their bodies.
• Xiao Ke begged Ling Feng not to come closer as Ling Feng advanced with killing intent.

After killing Xiao Ke and his companions, Ling Feng used herbs and the Taotie bloodline’s abilities to break through to Dou Zhe. A system draw then awarded him the Creation God Pen and the Spirit-Gifting Pearl.

• Ling Feng discovered that the Taotie bloodline rapidly healed his wounds, then looted 2,222 gold coins from Xiao Ke and his companions.

• The system detected Ling Feng’s breakthrough and offered him a treasure box draw.
• Ling Feng selected the second box and obtained the Creation God Pen and the Spirit-Gifting Pearl from a mythic-grade treasure box.

Ling Feng learned that the Creation God Pen could replicate real objects and living creatures, while the Spirit-Gifting Pearl could grant him a replicated creature’s abilities.

• Ling Feng began drawing a person from his memories and completed a figure the system deemed within his abilities.
• Ling Feng brought the figure out of the painting, and it recited a familiar Cantonese line about emotion being an assassin’s greatest taboo.

After obtaining the Creation God Pen and summoning Wu Liuqi, Ling Feng resolved to grow stronger while planning to bring his mother home from the Jia Lie Residence. There, Jia Lie Ao attacked Liu Qingqing and Zhang Xiaoling, and Ling Feng rushed in to stop him.

• Ling Feng taunted Jia Lie Bi and resisted his pressure while Seven stood between them.
• Ling Feng invoked Spirit Imbuement, transformed to resemble Seven, and released the overwhelming pressure of a Da Dou Shi.

Ling Feng used Seven's power and over a hundred masked copies to overwhelm Jia Lie Bi, who surrendered to protect the Jia Lie Family.

• Ling Feng transformed into a One-Star Great Dou Master and dispersed Jia Lie Bi's pressure with a sweep of his sword.
• Ling Feng summoned more than a hundred masked copies of Seven, each a One-Star Great Dou Master, and ordered them to attack Jia Lie Bi.

• Ling Feng offered to spare the Jia Lie Family if Jia Lie Bi accepted three conditions, beginning with Jia Lie Ao apologizing to Ling Feng's mother and being beaten by Ling Feng.
• Ling Feng demanded Jia Lie Bi's Storage Ring as compensation, and Jia Lie Bi reluctantly handed it over.

• Ling Feng asked Jia Lie Bi to gather cultivation resources and offered to help him deal with the Xiao Clan, and Jia Lie Bi agreed to all three requests.
• When Jia Lie Ao woke and demanded that his father kill Ling Feng, Jia Lie Bi knocked him unconscious again and handed him over to Ling Feng to deal with.

• Ling Feng received a batch of cultivation resources from the Jia Lie Family and prepared to cultivate in his bedroom.
• Ling Feng began eating a three-hundred-year-old polygonum ginseng to activate his Taotie bloodline, and its potency quickly made his inner vortex spin faster.

• An unidentified voice interrupted the auction by calling the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid garbage.

Ling Feng sent Shadow Seven and Wu Dan to disrupt the Mittel Auction House auction and provoke Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, but Yao Chen killed them after they exposed their knowledge of him. They reappeared and vanished at Ling Feng’s command, leaving Yao Chen wary of the hidden enemy and Ling Feng determined to continue their contest.
