Pake and Rèla'er sought rare beast remnants to trade for power, then watched Abel’s Beast Pen while Abel grew suspicious and flew to Xiluo for help. Xiluo set out with Abel and Allen to confront the suspected intruders, while Pake and Rèla'er remained near the Beast Pen.

• Pake used a Soul Stone to trade collected beast souls for a Strength Fruit, which increased his strength but aged him, and Rèla'er suggested collecting Dragon remnants for a better reward.
• Pake and Rèla'er watched Abel’s Beast Pen for days, hoping to collect remnants after he left, while Abel counted his gold and noticed he was being watched.

• Xiluo played with baby Pawa as Andre worried about his safety, and Xiluo suggested sending him to the Military Camp for training.
• Abel told Xiluo that suspicious people were planning to kidnap him and steal his wealth, so Xiluo, Allen, and Abel flew east toward the Beast Pen.

Pake and Rèla'er entered Abel's lair to collect dragon scales and Dragon Life Essence, but Xiluo and the dragons caught them and accused them of plotting against Abel. Xiluo sentenced them to prison and added several serious charges as patrol soldiers moved to arrest them.

• Pake and Rèla'er searched Abel's lair and gathered a dragon scale and Dragon Life Essence before three dragons confronted them.
• Abel accused the two men of plotting to steal from him and exploit his body, while they insisted they only wanted to sell the items.
• Xiluo found a Spatial Ring and discovered the Dragon Life Essence among its contents, strengthening Abel's suspicions.
• After hearing that the men wanted financial security, Xiluo said prison would provide them with food and shelter.
• Xiluo summoned the patrol and ordered the soldiers to arrest Pake and Rèla'er for theft, attempted dragon murder, obstructing official duties, and suspected theft of city secrets.

Xiluo learned that Pake and Rèla'er possessed the Xikalei Clan’s Supreme Treasure and took their ancient ring in exchange for protecting them. When he focused his mental power on the ring, he was transported into an unfamiliar place and heard a voice remark that No. 9 had changed.

• The Xikalei Clan’s scouts reported Pake and Rèla’er’s capture to Marquis Xikalei, who sent Xiluo a letter offering thirty thousand gold coins for the prisoners and their supposed Supreme Treasure.
• After reading the letter, Xiluo suspected the prisoners had hidden the treasure and went to confront them in prison.
• Xiluo told Pake and Rèla’er that he would hand them over for the reward, prompting Pake to reveal that the treasure belonged to the Faluo Family.
• Pake gave Xiluo an ancient ring, and Xiluo agreed to protect the last members of the Faluo Family rather than surrender them.
• Xiluo focused his mental power on the ring, and an unfamiliar voice asked whether No. 9 had changed.

Xiluo entered the space inside the ring and met its shadowy members, then learned from Pake that it was one of the Kanmier Dynasty’s Twelve Royal Rings. After returning to the space, Xiluo encountered a Pleasure Demon offering him Strength Fruit for souls.

• Xiluo entered the ring’s alternate space, where the members at tables 1, 3, 4, and 7 reacted to him as the new Number 9.
• Number 4 explained that the ring could transfer gold coins into the space, and Xiluo left to ask Pake about the ring.
• Pake identified the ring as one of the Kanmier Dynasty’s Twelve Royal Rings and described its history, past owners, and several current members.
• Xiluo learned that Number 1 was a Pleasure Demon, Number 4 was a merchant, and Number 2 was mysterious and respected by the others.
• Xiluo returned to the space, where Number 1 offered him a discounted Strength Fruit for fifty medium-grade souls.

Xiluo traded fifty medium-grade souls to the Pleasure Demon for a strange fruit through the King's Ring, then gathered the dragons to explain the trading platform and show them the fruit. The chapter ended with Barbara praising the ancient Kanmier Dynasty’s ability to link Domirank Star and Abyssal Hell.

• Xiluo agreed to trade fifty medium-grade souls with the Pleasure Demon and rejected Number Three’s offer of sheep, while the Information Lady quoted steep prices for dragon mutation methods.
• Xiluo revealed himself as Christo Orni, a Gold Dragon, and said he would trade with devils who followed the rules despite his opposition to evil.
• Xiluo collected enough souls by arranging a limited slaughter at the city’s breeding farm, then traded them to the Pleasure Demon for a blood-red fruit and received his Soul Stones back.
• Xiluo asked how to contact other King's Ring members, learned that he could send them communication requests, and left the extradimensional space with the fruit.
• Xiluo consulted Allen, then gathered Barbara and the other dragons to explain the Twelve Royal Rings and show them the fruit.
• Barbara expressed amazement that the ancient Kanmier Dynasty had created a trading platform that connected Domirank Star and Abyssal Hell.

Xiluo learned that Soul Fruits could permanently enhance weaker creatures by draining their potential and life, while powerful Dragons were immune to their effects. He fed one to Abel’s Blazing Thunder Dragon Griffin, which began suffering and changing, leaving the Dragons watching to see what would happen.

• Barbara explained that Soul Fruits from Abyssal Hell granted permanent power to weaker creatures but had little effect on Dragons.
• Xiluo tested his Fel Energy Heart and found that his stronger body now rejected its energy, then confirmed that the Soul Fruit’s price of fifty medium souls was standard.

• Xiluo put the Soul Fruit into the Blazing Thunder Dragon Griffin’s mouth, and it swallowed the fruit.
• The Blazing Thunder Dragon Griffin collapsed in pain and began undergoing astonishing changes as the Dragons watched.

Xiluo fed the Blazing Thunder Dragon Griffin Soul Fruit-enhanced growth by gathering souls from the sea, then returned to the Twelve Royal Rings to trade with the Pleasure Demon. There, he confronted Number Seven, who learned of Xiluo’s dealings and vowed to hunt him down.

• The Blazing Thunder Dragon Griffin devoured six Earth Boars after eating Soul Fruit, grew dramatically, and reached Level 9 (Elite-).
• Xiluo agreed to gather souls from the sea, and the lady used her song to draw in over a hundred thousand fish, whose souls the dragons collected.
• Xiluo took Soul Stones worth about 206 medium souls into the Twelve Royal Rings and encountered Number Four and Number Seven.

• Xiluo traded souls for Soul Fruits, gathered more at sea, and used them to raise the Blazing Thunder Dragon Griffin to level 12 Elite.
• After Barbara said another Soul Fruit would be safe, Xiluo fed the griffin one, but its level did not increase; Abel then challenged Koraman to fight it.
• The Blazing Thunder Dragon Griffin defeated Koraman, whose weakened condition left him exhausted, and Alicia comforted him while urging him to earn more gold coins.
• Xiluo fed Abel’s five other Dragonbeast offspring three Soul Fruits apiece, and they grew into imposing creatures ranging from level 9 to level 11.

Xiluo’s dragons discussed using Soul Fruits to strengthen Dragonbeasts while Marquis Xikalei sent Laina and eight experts to assassinate him in Niro City. The attack caught Xiluo off guard, but he shrank away from Laina’s sword at the last moment.

• Abel celebrated his six Soul Fruit-enhanced Dragonbeasts, while Barbara and Xiluo argued that Soul Fruits should be saved for Dragonbeasts rather than Beastmen.
• Xiluo advised Abel to capture magical beasts no stronger than level 11 for breeding, and Abel fell silent after realizing stronger mates could kill him.
• Marquis Xikalei ordered Laina, a level 17 Paladin, to kill Xiluo and recover his treasure, assigning eight experts above level 12 to support the mission.

• Xiluo’s lightning armor cracked under the blow, but he shrank rapidly and let the sword sweep over his head.

After Laina’s Holy Light Transformation failed to turn the battle, he ordered a retreat, but Xiluo caught two fleeing fighters in a devastating Dragon Thunder attack.

• Laina and his allies attacked Xiluo, but he used Dragon Thunder and Fictional Gravity to disrupt their assault while the castle soldiers tried to raise the alarm.
• Xiluo summoned nearly thirty elementals, forcing Laina to divide his fighters as Kolov summoned five Vrocks to fight the elementals.

• Laina transformed into a giant of light and fought Xiluo, but Xiluo’s lightning spear overwhelmed him and forced him to order a retreat.
• Xiluo pursued a fleeing Paladin and Holy Warrior, whose weapons and armor were trapped by the spear’s magnetic field before Dragon Thunder engulfed them.

• Xiluo’s lightning killed the level 17 Paladin and a Holy Warrior, while the other attackers escaped through spatial scrolls.

• Marquis Xikalei heard Laina’s report about Xiluo’s strength, questioned whether he was truly a Young Dragon, and feared retaliation.

After learning that the Xikalei Family planned to attack Niro City with the king’s approval, Xiluo gathered the dragons and devised a response rather than fleeing. In Sista, a disguised Devil named Marquis Dorian was summoned to an abandoned factory, where Xiluo revealed himself as the one who had called three nobles together.

• Marquis Xikalei resolved to kill Xiluo or destroy his city before the dragon could retaliate.
• A servant of Matriarch Baili'er delivered Xiluo a letter warning that the Xikalei Family had joined other nobles to attack Niro City, while King Gree Luo planned to prevent others from aiding it.

• Three allied armies joined Xikalei's campaign, and their commanders described their forces and agreed to attack Niro City from different directions.
• A giant eagle watched the advancing armies, then transformed into an azure Dragon and sped toward Niro City.

• Xiluo waited two hours for the allied forces to assemble south of Niro City.
• Xiluo surveyed the assembled army, including thousands of human soldiers and numerous elite allies, and judged that his forces could face the enemy.

Xiluo harassed Marquis Xikalei’s army with lightning-charged spears before leading the pursuers toward his allied forces. As the armies clashed, Xikalei discovered the strength of Xiluo’s undead troops and found his allies were occupied, then his front line suffered a sudden javelin attack.

• Xiluo struck Xikalei’s army twice with lightning-wreathed spears, killing and wounding soldiers, while Mr. Dix deflected the second attack at the cost of injuring his arm.
• Xiluo dodged the Magic Cannon’s return fire and evaded the pursuing Spellcasters, Paladins, and Holy Warriors by keeping his distance.
• Xikalei’s army encountered Xiluo’s forces, where a green arrow and black fireball destroyed the cannon shells, and Xikalei recognized a Death Knight and other powerful undead.
• Xikalei called for his allies, but their distress signals showed they were tied down; he refused to retreat and ordered his army to attack.
• 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. As Xikalei’s soldiers suffered heavy losses, he begged the bloodline sorcerer Mr. Dिक्स to stop Xiluo, who warned that Xikalei would be in danger if he did.

• Marquis Xikalei ordered his heavily armored cavalry to charge, but Xiluo’s javelins, arrows, spells, and divine magic devastated the attackers before they reached his army.

• After seeing his army overwhelmed, Xikalei recalled his powerful fighters, and Laina and the others returned to support the battle, giving his forces temporary relief.
• Xiluo summoned wind, water, and lightning elementals, then flew toward the Arcane Cannons while the elementals kept Laina from intercepting him.
• Xiluo crushed soldiers, cut down dozens with his lightning spear, and destroyed the Arcane Cannons as Xikalei watched his army’s losses mount.
• Xikalei asked Mr. Dिक्स to stop Xiluo, and the bloodline sorcerer warned that Xikalei himself might be in danger.

• 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.

• 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.
