Ch. 376The second piece

Feng Yue challenged Chen Luo and was captured after he used his spatial ability to bring her back. Chen Luo took her purple shoes, discovered they increased speed, and let Zhao Ziyi try them; she briefly flew before falling and hurting her nose.

  • Feng Yue mocked Chen Luo’s Sea King title, and the Giant Toad led the Seafood in a charge against her.
  • Feng Yue transformed her tail into legs and outran the Seafood, revealing purple metal shoes that matched Chen Luo’s Divine Armor.
  • Chen Luo pulled Feng Yue to his side with his spatial ability and ordered the Seafood to remove her shoes.
  • Feng Yue resisted by cutting off an octopus’s tentacle with a Wind Blade, but Chen Luo threatened her with a Dimensional Blade, and she took off the shoes herself.

  • Zhao Ziyi rose into the air but fell, crying after hurting her nose.

Ch. 377Turning Point of Fate

Chen Luo learned that a sea turtle had seen a round object matching the scent of the missing armor piece on a distant continent, then returned to the Courtyard with Zhao Ziyi and Feng Yue. Rice divined that Chen Luo was about to reach a turning point of fate.

  • Feng Yue told Chen Luo she had found the shoe on the seabed, and a seal detected four scents on it.

Ch. 378Digging Three Feet Deep

Chen Luo decided to search for the Helmet despite Rice warning that his actions could have a tremendous impact, though she confirmed he would face no danger within the next month. He reached the beach where the Giant Sea Turtle had found the armor piece and began searching, but the turtles had found nothing after two hours.

  • Rice warned Chen Luo that his plans would have a tremendous impact, but she could not say whether it would be good or bad and assured him he would not face danger within the next month.

  • Chen Luo watched a rust-covered ship get dragged underwater by seaweed as he and the turtle continued toward the shore.

  • Chen Luo cleared the area of nearby survivors, but after two hours neither the Little Sea Turtles nor the Giant Sea Turtle had found anything.

Ch. 379I Will Never Run Away

Ch. 382Listen to me, your big bro owes you a bloody thanks

Chen Luo ordered Dawn City to prepare to leave for the Other Continents while planning to let the Oilheads and Brown Bears come to Dragon Nation. Before departing, he overheard Wan Jiangui recruit Mu Hong into a plot against Dawn City and the Zombie Emperor, leaving him angry at his little brother.

  • Chen Luo told Mi Ling to prepare the branch base for evacuation and said he would let the Oilheads and Brown Bears come so he could deal with them later.

Ch. 383Don't panic, we're on the same side

Wan Jiangui and Shi Gaoyang gathered powerful leaders to persuade the Zombie Emperor to attack Dawn City, unaware that Big Strong served Chen Luo. At the riverbank, Big Strong attacked the group, leaving Wan Jiangui insisting to himself that they were on the same side.

  • Yuri told Chen Luo that Wan Jiangui had named thirteen people who wanted to take him down, and Chen Luo ordered Wan Jiangui to bring them to the Zombie Emperor.

Ch. 385Spatial Teleportation

Chen Luo returned to the base with Shi Gaoyang and prepared to move the group to the Kangaroo Continent. After reaching level ten, Silver Bell opened a strange spatial passage that Chen Luo suspected could enable teleportation.

  • Chen Luo used Wan Jiangui as a silver sword, then left him with Big Strong and took Shi Gaoyang back to the base, where he imprisoned him.
  • Mi Ling returned to headquarters with a thousand members, and Jiang Tiancheng arrived two days later as the base prepared to move to the Kangaroo Continent.
  • Silver Bell used a King Rank Space Crystal to reach level ten and spent the night sensing spatial nodes.
  • At dawn, Silver Bell created a rotating passage, but its repulsive force prevented her from entering it.
  • Chen Luo consulted Rice and forced his way into the passage while Silver Bell struggled to maintain it, and he wondered if it was Spatial Teleportation.

Ch. 386The mastermind behind the scenes

Silver Bell discovered that she could create spatial teleportation passages, and Chen Luo learned to make them as well after testing their limits. On the way back from their experiments, Chen Luo suspected that a powerful hidden being had used spatial passages to bring the monsters to the planet.

  • Silver Bell created passages to Chen Luo's courtyard, and Chen Luo tested them with objects and living creatures of increasing strength.
  • Silver Bell realized that passage distance affected stability and determined which beings could enter; Chen Luo then created a passage himself and traveled through it with her.
  • Chen Luo and Silver Bell experimented for half a day, learning that greater distance, stronger targets, and repeated use shortened a passage's lifespan.
  • Silver Bell questioned how Chen Luo's iced tea stayed cold in his ability space, leading him to wonder whether his space uniquely stopped time.

Ch. 389The mysterious meat

Chen Luo subdued a giant kangaroo on the Kangaroo Continent and learned that mysterious meat had made it powerful, though two of its companions had died after eating it. He recovered the meat from their buried remains, and Rice warned that eating it would harm Chen Luo more than help him but could greatly benefit Puppy and especially Sea Ji.

  • Sea Ji tortured the weakened giant kangaroo until Chen Luo persuaded her to spare it, then Chen Luo asked how it had become so strong.

Ch. 395I still prefer being a dog

Chen Luo struck a deal with the giant tree to exchange corpses for fruit and sent a team to Europe to gather more. After Dharma King reached King Rank and took human form, he changed back into a dog when he saw the other dogs watching him.

  • The giant tree produced a fruit with energy comparable to a King-Rank Crystal, and Chen Luo realized it could refine energy from weaker creatures into powerful fruit.
  • Chen Luo agreed to split future fruit evenly with the giant tree, planning to feed it corpses so it would grow stronger and produce better fruit.
  • Chen Luo sent Red Lantern to arrange transport and dispatched Xia Haoran, Jin Yuanjiang, Xiong Wenhui, and others with three thousand members to Europe to collect corpses.
  • Chen Luo returned to his underground chamber to try deriving Time Stop from time stagnation, but Dharma King arrived after advancing to King Rank and taking human form.
  • After Dharma King saw the Samoyed and Silver Wolf watching him, he changed back into his original dog form, saying he still preferred being a dog.

  • Xiong Wenhui kicked away a fleeing foreigner, transformed with Bear Strength, and held a level-ten zombie in place while her team attacked until it collapsed.
  • Chen Luo collected more than two hundred level-seven zombie corpses and gave them to the Giant Tree, which estimated that about 2,500 such corpses could yield one king-rank fruit.
  • Chen Luo tested Time Acceleration on the Giant Tree but improved its efficiency by only a third, since the ability could not speed up the tree's eating and internal refining processes enough.
  • Dharma King sparred with the big kangaroo and gained a slight edge, then decided to fight Sea Ji because she had stolen 3,585 points from him.

Ch. 398Thunderstorm

Ch. 399The second King Rank

Chen Luo returned to find Sea Ji and Dharma King injured after fighting over Dog’s stolen points, while Long Yu tested an upgraded Titanium Alloy Dog Eye that improved Dharma King’s attacks but could not channel his strongest abilities. Chen Luo used Time Acceleration and crystals to advance Long Yu to King Rank, leaving him as the second human King Rank and directing him to develop Dharma King’s weapon and research Space weapons.

  • Chen Luo found Sea Ji and Dharma King injured after their fight over Dog’s 3,585 stolen points, then helped them recover separately.
