• Abel celebrated his six Soul Fruit-enhanced Dragonbeasts, while Barbara and Xiluo argued that Soul Fruits should be saved for Dragonbeasts rather than Beastmen.

• The Wealth Temple’s Clerics strengthened the Boar-Pigfolk with Divine Favor and Bull’s Strength, and the Boar-Pigfolk and dragons hurled javelins into Xikalei’s front line, skewering many archers.

Xiluo’s smaller army overwhelmed Marquis Xikalei’s forces with superior ranged attacks, dragons, elite troops, and undead, while Xiluo himself tore through the enemy near their Arcane Cannons.

Xiluo fought through Xikalei’s army while Marquis Xikalei used rare magical treasures and a Bloodline Warlock to try to stop him. After surviving the attacks and escaping their restraints, Xiluo identified the marquis and ended the chapter with a Thunder Spear detonating among his soldiers.

• Marquis Xikalei sent the Bloodline Warlock after Xiluo and aimed a Void Bullet at the dragon as he rampaged through the army.
• Xiluo evaded the Bloodline Warlock, but the Void Bullet suppressed nearby magic and sent him crashing to the ground; he survived the soldiers’ follow-up attacks and charged toward Marquis Xikalei.
• Marquis Xikalei used Aurora Projection and several enchanted rings to attack and escape, while Xiluo dispelled a gravity spell and flew out of reach of the Bloodline Warlock.
• Xiluo searched the battlefield for the man matching Marquis Xikalei’s profile, then swooped toward him and hurled a Thunder Spear that landed nearby.
• The Thunder Spear erupted in lightning, swallowing the soldiers who had gathered near its impact point.

Xiluo unleashed his full power against the Xikalei army, overwhelming its soldiers and commanders with storms, lightning, and Extreme Thunder Breath Weapon. Marquis Xikalei escaped the battlefield, and the army collapsed into flight and surrender.

• Dिक्स told Marquis Xikalei to fire a Void Bullet at the ground, letting him clear a small area and teleport out of the lightning sea.

• Xiluo, Dorian, Doges, and Melano rejected the nobles’ calls for compensation and urged a counterattack against Ularuo, forcing the King to pay each of them thirty thousand gold coins.
• After the other three lords left, Xiluo stayed in the Royal Capital and met Matriarch Baili'er at his inn that night.

• Xiluo left Baili'er before dawn and returned to Niro City, thinking about using his compensation to buy mutation materials.
• Xiluo heard strange sounds near Abel’s lair and found the supposedly injured dragon whelp mating with a magical beast.

Xiluo learned that rumors about the Legendary Ring were spreading through Niro City, risking unrest and attacks, and decided to make others believe his side was too powerful to challenge.

• After the meal, Xiluo showed the merfolk games and more of Niro City’s food, and they said they wanted to stay longer.
• Xiluo led the merfolk sisters to the Clubhouse, where they unexpectedly encountered three familiar figures emerging from inside.

Anali and the other mermaid sisters discovered that their Naga agents had been enjoying Niro City instead of reporting back, then stayed to enjoy the city themselves. A month later, Depu asked Xiluo to name his newborn daughter, revealing that Descenders had children in Niro City and prompting Xiluo to consider educating them for future roles.

• Anali and the other mermaids confronted the Naga trio about visiting the Dark Horse Club, then punished them by sending them back to their tribe and forbidding them from coming ashore without orders.

The academy’s operators then promoted expensive nearby school-district homes, leaving wealthy merchants tempted and Descenders convinced Xiluo had been fed another scheme.

• Xiluo Utrasis announced plans for Niro Academy, where subjects could train in various professions and gifted students could advance to higher tiers.

• Hyena-people approached wealthy merchants and Descenders about nearby school-district homes priced at three gold coins per square meter.
• The merchants considered the sales pitch about future demand, while the Descenders grimly suspected someone had taught Xiluo Utrasis another way to profit.

Xiluo celebrated the gold earned from academy tuition and school-district housing, then spent 30,000 gold coins on Conch Stone to strengthen himself. The Conch Stone raised his Thunderfall Dragon bloodline to 75%, where he discovered he needed Sea God Crystals instead, so he flew back to ask the merfolk sisters whether they had any.

• Descenders bought Niro City's school-district homes, and Xiluo counted 53,700 gold coins in revenue from housing and the academies.
• Xiluo visited the new academy, saw its teachers and students at work, then waited outside the merfolk sisters' home while they went shopping.
• Xiluo bought all the Conch Stone the merfolk sisters could spare for 30,000 gold coins and consumed it outside the city.
• Xiluo's Thunderfall Dragon bloodline reached 75%, but he learned that further growth required Sea God Crystals rather than Conch Stone.
• Xiluo flew back to the merfolk sisters' home to ask whether they had Sea God Crystals.

Over two years, Xiluo researched spells, bought rare Sea God crystals, and continued building his strength while his son Pawa grew into a formidable Dragonkin child. The chapter ended with Pawa returning home to his parents and Xiluo reflecting on the boy’s growth and his own progress.

• Xiluo asked the Hailan Clan and Bishop Xiwel for Sea God crystals, and learned the temple could supply only ten thousand gold coins’ worth per year.
• Xiluo bought the available crystals, raising his Thunderfall Dragon Bloodline from 75% to 75.8%, then spent two years researching spells and strengthening himself.
• At the academy, Pawa defeated Kululuo again, and the children praised him for inheriting Xiluo’s bloodline.
• Allen picked Pawa up from the academy and took him home after Pawa asked why his parents had not come for him.
• Pawa heard noises behind his mother’s door, mistook his parents’ exercise for his father hitting her, and waited until they opened the door.
• Xiluo observed that Pawa had advanced to a level 2 elite template and considered how the boy might grow stronger in the years ahead.

Xiluo reviewed his two years of growth, Niro City's prosperity, and the enormous sums he had spent raising his bloodlines and Allen. Abel visited to exchange Soul Fruits for his newly one-year-old Dragonbeast, while boasting about his plans to defeat Gordon.

• Xiluo saw that his level remained 17 while his three mutated bloodlines had each surpassed 75%, and he reflected on Niro City's growth and his accumulated wealth.
• Xiluo noted that he had spent 125,000 gold coins on bloodline growth, crystals, and Crimson Thunder's mutation, with another 35,000 going toward Allen.
• Xiluo observed that Allen had reached level 14 and had learned [Dragon Domain - Extreme Cold], which helped Xiluo reverse-engineer [Dragon Domain - Extreme Thunder].
• Abel arrived with good news, and Little Pawa excitedly asked him when he could join him in making films; the lady used a Weakening Spell and dragged Pawa away from the window.
• Xiluo joined Abel outside, and Abel asked to exchange three Soul Fruits for his one-year-old Dragonbeast.
• Abel boasted that his twelve Dragonbeasts would help him defeat Gordon, while Xiluo agreed that the Soul Fruit exchange would be no problem.

Xiluo learned that the Pleasure Demon could no longer supply enough Soul Fruits and considered whether her invitation to the Abyssal Hell was a trap. After Abel suggested sending the fearless Descenders to help gather souls, Xiluo sought information about crystal deposits that might provide another opportunity.

• Xiluo entered the Twelve Royal Rings meeting and confronted No. 7, who accused him of using a false identity and complained that dragons had beaten him up.
• Xiluo privately spoke with No. 1, the Pleasure Demon, who said her Soul Tree lacked nourishment and asked him to visit her in Abyssal Hell to collect souls in exchange for discounted Soul Fruits.
• Xiluo suspected No. 1 might be colluding with No. 7, refused to visit or sign a devil contract, and returned to Niro City without Soul Fruit.
• Abel proposed sending the Descenders to help the Pleasure Demon gather souls, and Xiluo considered the idea before entering the King's Ring again.
• Xiluo asked No. 4 about crystal mines or production areas occupied by a single person, beast, or monster, and she offered to answer three questions for thirty thousand gold coins.

Xiluo bought a map to an underwater Sea God Crystal source from No. 4 Information Lady for 15,000 gold coins, gambling that the site met his requirements. After learning the site lay 4,000 meters beneath the sea, he left alone for a villa in the Rich District.

• Xiluo asked No. 4 Information Lady for information on crystal deposits and chose a Sea God Crystal source owned by someone below Legendary strength.
• Xiluo consulted Barbara and the dragons, but they knew of no suitable targets they could safely attack.
• Xiluo paid No. 4 15,000 gold coins for a map and found the marked site 1,500 kilometers from Babari Island, 4,000 meters underwater.
• The dragons reacted to the cost, and Abel and Allen admitted they could not safely accompany Xiluo into the deep sea.
• Xiluo told the dragons to stay behind and flew toward an enormous walled villa in the Rich District.

Xiluo ventured into the deep sea to find Sea God Crystals, using his Thunderfall Dragon abilities to evade the Lanboer Kingdom’s fishmen. Near his destination, he discovered three Tidal Titans searching for the same treasure, including an old acquaintance, and overheard them warn that an escapee might bring reinforcements.

• Xiluo asked Anali, Xueli, and Flora about the marked location and learned it lay in the Lanboer Kingdom, whose Sawtooth Shark Fishmen attacked outsiders.
• The mermaids advised Xiluo on how to approach the site and sent a Naga Spellcaster to guide him to the kingdom’s border.
• Xiluo descended to 4,000 meters, killed and tasted a Deep-Sea Demon Fish, then swam toward the treasure while avoiding fishmen settlements and patrols.
• After searching the dark seabed without success, Xiluo spotted three powerful Tidal Titans and recognized one as the Titan he had helped the Merfolk defeat years earlier.
• Xiluo overheard the Titans confirm they had come for Sea God Crystals, argue about the old acquaintance’s failures, and order Tam to lead them to the crystals before an escapee returned with reinforcements.
