After Leng Xiyue completed the Star Dream Trade Guild’s takeover of Suotuo City’s underworld, the system rewarded her with new weapons and activated a much larger faction-building mission. She chose a squad of Soldier: 76 clones and summoned a Great General, whose identity remained unannounced at the chapter’s end.

• The system declared the faction-establishment mission complete, activated a second phase requiring a large population and army or substantial worldwide influence, and awarded a Robotics Facility and Great General Fragment.

• Leng Xiyue used the Great General Summoning Card, and a young woman appeared before her as the system began introducing her.

Miho Nishizumi recalled joining the Core Flame Project before awakening in Leng Xiyue’s world as a level-zero hero. Leng Xiyue examined Miho’s powerful talents and realized that her memories and military-industrial knowledge could help advance their armored forces.

• Leng Xiyue looked at Miho with eager anticipation, considering how to use that knowledge to strengthen her forces.

• Leng Xiyue introduced Miho Nishizumi to Qin Menglan and brought her to study Soul Tool knowledge.

• Miho Nishizumi spent the night learning the basics of Soul Masters, and Leng Xiyue told her the next morning that it was time to awaken her Martial Soul.

• Miho Nishizumi awakened Boko Bear and displayed level-eight innate soul power, surprising the Spirit Hall soul master.
• Miho Nishizumi suspected Boko Bear was a summoning-type martial soul, and Leng Xiyue considered building a Shrek tournament team with her.
• Xiao Bai suggested raising Miho Nishizumi’s cultivation by transferring psionic experience collected by Kaldalis, rather than stealing Ah Yin’s accumulated cultivation.
• Leng Xiyue considered sending Kaldalis to hunt criminals and soul beasts for experience, but decided to interrogate the black-clad attacker first.
• Leng Xiyue and Miho Nishizumi arrived at the Trade Guild headquarters, where a short, stout middle-aged man was waiting in the reception room.

Leng Xiyue negotiated with Gaorde over weapons and the establishment of an academy before returning to Shrek Academy to question the captured woman in black. The woman remained determined to die, and Leng Xiyue began examining her.

• The Purifier Squad gathered Blue Silver Grass, and Tian Meng refined its essence into a seed for Ah Yin’s soul to inhabit.

• Leng Xiyue prepared two Soul Elder-level puppets in Spirit Hall disguises, armed them with rifles, and sent them to carry out a necessary mission.

Leng Xiyue then proposed forming a team for the upcoming tournament, and Bibi Dong agreed to help her secure a place in the Grand Finals before asking where she planned to cultivate next.

Leng Xiyue’s mechanized force reached Stormwind City and launched a brutal assault, breaking through the gates and overwhelming the city’s defenders.
