Yang Zheng hunted monsters in County Town No. 0877 and fully mastered the Micro-Level Movement Technique, while using his Cultivation Progress Bar to guide his training. After cultivating gene origin energy, his body was transformed by psychic force.
Yang Zheng trained the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade against Beast Soldier-level monsters and discovered that his Cultivation Progress Bar improved the technique beyond the limits of its manual. He then chose an Intermediate Beast General and its herd of One-Horned Wild Boars as his next target.
Yang Zheng fought through City 0877’s monster hordes to improve his movement and Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, killing nearly a thousand monsters over two days. With his third blade layer complete and Perfect Level Movement at 19%, he decided to return the next morning because his food and water were running low.
Yang Zheng returned to Northwest Base City after selling his monster materials at the Warrior Supply Base and registering his kills toward his combat record. Old Ma picked him up at the station and joked that the chairman had an heir, leaving Yang Zheng to rest as they drove toward the Limit General Hall.
Yang Zheng returned to his family home in Northwest Base City and reunited with his adoptive parents and twin siblings. After reviewing his martial artist profile and finances, he decided he would need to make use of the Limit Martial Hall to grow stronger quickly, but left the matter until the next day.
Yang Zheng revealed that he had awakened his Spirit Reader talent, surprising his father, Wang Jiu, with the strength of his spiritual force and his improved comprehension. Wang Jiu hurried to the General Hall to seek better training resources for his son.
Yang Zheng demonstrated his strength and spirit-reader potential to Zheng Cangli, who offered him two routes to receive training resources. Yang Zheng chose to prove himself at the Kyoto Base City Trial Tower, and Zheng Cangli decided to take him there the next day.
Yang Zheng traveled to Kyoto Base City to take the Basic Training Camp’s Trial Tower assessment and learned the truth about his adoptive father’s family history. He arrived at the camp with Zheng Cangli and Wine Brute, who arranged for him to use the Trial Space early.
Yang Zheng entered the Nine-Story Trial Tower’s virtual assessment with Zheng Cangli and Pang Qingyan, then began his first trial against fifty Mangniu. He demonstrated his strength by killing several beasts and prepared to test an idea as he continued the fight.
Yang Zheng used the Trial Tower to sharpen his footwork and blade technique, clearing the first floor before being overwhelmed by Iron-Armored Scorpions on the second. His run ended after more than two hours of combat, with his training skills greatly improved.
Yang Zheng completed his Trial Tower assessment, explored the Basic Training Camp, and met trainee Fang Li while waiting to leave with Zheng Cangli. Meanwhile, Wang Yanzhao plotted to stop Wang Jiu from returning by targeting his adopted son.
Hong reviewed Yang Zheng’s extraordinary trial-space performance and recognized him as a new genius with immense potential. Later, Yang Zheng intervened when Wang Xing'an harassed a student at Kyoto University and realized the man was the son of his father’s enemy.
Yang Zheng crippled Wang Xing'an after the young man harassed a student, then returned to training. The next morning, Inspector Liu delivered a generous contract from Hong that offered major rewards for Yang Zheng’s progress over three years.
After signing a generous contract with Limit Hall, Yang Zheng used the dragon blood he received to strengthen his body and spiritual force. His tests showed he had become an Advanced General Level fighter and an Intermediate War God Level Spirit Reader, and he planned to grow stronger still.
Yang Zheng’s public Trial Tower score and Spirit Reader status drew attention from powerful factions, while his father discovered that Yang Zheng had reached Advanced General Level. The Wang Family chose to stop pursuing him and seek closer ties, but Li Yao and Venina continued their scheme against Luo Feng’s family.
Yang Zheng passed the second test in his Limit Martial Hall contract and received Verdant Grass Dew as his reward. After consuming it, his body began transforming as the Pyramid released energy in his Sea of Consciousness.
Yang Zheng absorbed the Verdant Grass Dew, shattered the Pyramid in his sea of consciousness, and gained overwhelming physical and spiritual strength. After reflecting on his need to advance quickly before Earth’s coming disasters, he left Northwest Base City for Hongning Base City.
Yang Zheng met Hong at the Limit Martial Hall Headquarters, gave him insights into generating force with the body, and asked for guidance on domains. Hong promised him domain insights and advanced his contract rewards, leaving Yang Zheng with a King-Level Intelligent Fighter to use.
Yang Zheng hunted Lord-level monsters in the Wilderness Zone and found two Advanced Lord Level monsters fighting. After the Black-Scaled Ape killed the Purple Giant Python, Yang Zheng ambushed it and brought it down, leaving him poised to claim both monsters’ spoils.
Yang Zheng harvested materials from two Advanced Lord Level monsters and sold them at the Limit Mansion, earning thirteen billion Huaxia Currency and 6.5 million contribution points while qualifying for the High-level War God title. He declined an immediate strength assessment, then returned by fighter jet to Northwest Base City as he focused on improving his spiritual force before pursuing a domain.
Yang Zheng entered the War God Palace and studied the fundamentals of psychokinesis, including telekinesis, psychic attacks, and beast taming. The Palace announced him as a new high-level War God, stunning the gathered warriors and leaving his rapid rise to spread across the world.
Yang Zheng trained the Heavenly God Atlas and learned that the Wang Family Patriarch had come to persuade Wang Jiu to return to the family. After hearing the family’s history and the patriarch’s offer, Wang Jiu asked Yang Zheng what he thought, leaving the decision unresolved.
Yang Zheng accompanied Wang Jiu to Kyoto City, where the Wang Family patriarch announced a succession and revealed Wang Jiu as the new patriarch. Yang Zheng killed Wang Yanzhao and nearly twenty other family members for their crimes, leaving Wang Jiu poised to take control of the family.
Yang Zheng cultivated after helping his father settle the Wang Family’s affairs, mastering Spirit Thorn and improving his control of the Heavenly God Atlas. Meanwhile, the HR Alliance’s core families met to discuss how the changes in the Wang Family might affect their interests.
Luo Feng returned from the underground ruins as a Planetary Level fighter, while Yang Zheng’s rapid rise drew attention from Earth’s strongest experts. The chapter ended with Luo Feng and Yang Zheng meeting at the Supreme Court, where Li Yao and Venina faced trial.
