Chapter Summaries

Ye Fengxing used crowd control, a slow, and stealth to lure Kuang Dao’s group away before doubling back and killing Kuang Dao. War Hero Yi Yan and Xiao Xiaoxian recognized the trick, but the Ninth Division leaders concluded that the guild could not afford to keep wasting time chasing an opponent who might have been sent by a rival guild.

• Ye Fengxing controlled Kuang Dao, slowed him, and lured the pursuing group away before vanishing and circling back.
• Xiao Xiaoxian deduced that Ye Fengxing had a stealth skill and had used Kuang Dao as bait, so War Hero Yi Yan ordered three squads to return.
• Kuang Dao’s health bar emptied before the squads could reach him, and his teammates resurrected him as he angrily berated them.
• War Hero Yi Yan calmed Kuang Dao and praised Xiao Xiaoxian’s analysis, then led the group back to discuss their next move.
• War Hero Yi Yan and Kuang Dao agreed that they could not keep wasting time and suspected Ye Fengxing was a skilled player sent by a major guild to cause trouble.

War Hero Yi Yan decided to ignore One Leaf Windwalk and redirect attention by mocking his name, while Ye Fengxing avoided fighting the guild so Brick and Sky Wanderer would not be caught in the crossfire. After returning to Adaric’s cave, Ye Fengxing found a post from professional mage Too Late to Shoot challenging the top players to future contests.

• War Hero Yi Yan persuaded Kuang Dao to stop provoking One Leaf Windwalk and proposed mocking his name online to distract attention from the Ninth Division’s losses.
• Xiao Xiaoxian asked whether One Leaf Windwalk might really be God Ye, but War Hero Yi Yan dismissed the possibility and decided they could still control the story.
• Ye Fengxing told Brick to the Face and Sky Wanderer to circle around the Donal Jungle so they would not be exposed to a fight with the War Hero players.
• Ye Fengxing returned to Adaric’s cave, slipped past nearby War Hero groups, and gagged Adaric again after exchanging barbs with him.
• Ye Fengxing read forum posts about his Hell Mode Ghostly Cave run and noticed Too Late to Shoot’s challenge to the established players in future dungeons and world-boss contests.

Ye Fengxing defended his cave from the War Hero Family, killing several players before realizing reinforcements were on the way and calling Ironhead Monk for help. As the enemy group gathered outside, Ye Fengxing leaped from the cave to launch an attack, while Zhuan'er and an archer nearing his location spotted strange, colorful light in the Glittering Forest.

• Ye Fengxing ambushed War Hero Family players who discovered his cave, killing the first attacker and then Cold-Hearted when he approached in Stealth.

Ye Fengxing outmaneuvered the group pursuing him, using precise spell feints and hidden combat mechanics to overwhelm them. As the fight continued, he climbed an earthen slope toward the cave where Adaric remained, while reinforcements were expected to arrive.

• Xiao Xiaoxian struggled to keep his party alive as Ye Fengxing baited his Divine Prophecies and switched targets faster than the healers could respond.

• The plump Missionary emerged from the cave with his Holy Light Cross and swore that he had put up with the man long enough.

Ye Fengxing rushed through the War Hero raid to reach the cave where Brick and Sky waited with the bound boss Adaric. After fending off the guild members, he prepared to explain why he had brought his friends there.

War Hero Yi Yan and Kuang Dao suspected that the Mage they had fought was One Leaf Windwalk, and they wondered why Cloud Pavilion's leader had come in person.

• War Hero Yi Yan agreed with Kuang Dao that the Mage was most likely One Leaf Windwalk but cautioned that this did not mean he had joined Cloud Pavilion.
• Kuang Dao reasoned that Cloud Pavilion was probably seeking One Leaf Windwalk's goodwill rather than recruiting him, then speculated that the guild's women might also interest him.
• Xiao Xiaoxian noticed Kuang Dao's dreamy grin and shuddered at what he took to be a lecherous expression.
