Chapter Summaries

During a lesson on fighting monsters, Qi Yu told the class how someone had rescued him when he was trapped in a failing Mecha and defeated the monsters with ordinary weapons. He left the class thinking his story sounded like a myth, while urging them to include hand-to-hand combat in their training.

• The instructor warned the alphas that fighting monsters without a Mecha was extremely dangerous and advised them to end their own lives if surrounded by a group.
• An alpha asked whether Qi Yu had faced a similar crisis, and the class turned to hear his account.
• Qi Yu explained that, while comatose inside his failing Mecha, he had been rescued and hidden in ruins before monsters found him.
• Qi Yu said his rescuer protected him and defeated the monsters using ordinary guns and knives rather than a Mecha or lightsaber.
• The instructor and students struggled to believe the story, and Qi Yu recommended adding hand-to-hand combat to their daily training.

Qi Yu told the class how an unknown hero had saved him, while keeping Bai Luochuan’s identity secret. Back in their dorm, Qi Yu explained that he wanted to keep Bai Luochuan’s dazzling strength to himself.

• Qi Yu finished recounting how he had survived a battlefield crisis, and the instructor praised his point about the importance of physical training.
• The instructor asked whether Qi Yu had found the person who saved him, prompting the Alphas to speculate that a divine manifestation had intervened.
• Qi Yu confirmed that he had met his rescuer but refused to introduce him, saying the students would doubt what they saw.
• After class, Bai Luochuan followed Qi Yu back to the dorm and asked why he had not told the class the truth.
• Qi Yu said he wanted to boast about Bai Luochuan’s love for him but also hoped to keep Bai Luochuan’s dazzling power for himself.

Qi Yu arranged for Bai Luochuan to demonstrate fighting monsters with ordinary weapons in simulated combat, hoping to show his Alpha trainees that the task was achievable. The trainees gathered to watch, but when Bai Luochuan appeared alone on the field, one worriedly asked whether he would be scared.

• Bai Luochuan volunteered to demonstrate hand-to-hand combat against monsters, and Qi Yu reluctantly agreed.
• Qi Yu told the Alphas they would watch a demonstration before beginning their own training with ordinary blades and guns.
• The Alphas assumed Qi Yu or the hero who had once saved him would demonstrate, while Qi Yu led them to the spectator stands without correcting them.
• Bai Luochuan appeared alone on the training field, leaving the trainees bewildered about whether he would be scared.

Bai Luochuan faced a group of monsters in a full-difficulty combat simulation while Qi Yu and the others watched. After defeating them all, Bai Luochuan said he could handle a few more.

• Qi Yu started the actual-combat training simulation after reminding Bai Luochuan to protect himself.

• Bai Luochuan killed the first monster by striking its weak point and shooting its eye.
• Bai Luochuan defeated the remaining monsters and said he had underestimated himself and could take on a few more.

Bai Luochuan impressed the Alphas by fighting five monsters in a simulated demonstration, inspiring them to train with renewed enthusiasm. When they speculated that he had faced monsters before and might have saved Qi Yu, Qi Yu left the truth unconfirmed and ordered them back to training.

• Qi Yu ended Bai Luochuan’s demonstration after he defeated the five opponents, then praised him as the Alphas celebrated his performance.
• Inspired by Bai Luochuan, the Alphas eagerly resumed training, and Qi Yu joined them to practice alongside his instruction.
• An Alpha joked that Bai Luochuan must have faced the monsters before, and Qi Yu responded with an ambiguous half-smile.
• The Alphas speculated that Bai Luochuan had saved Qi Yu, but Qi Yu refused to explain and told them to keep training.

Qi Yu stopped Bai Luochuan’s routine combat training and took him to a private training ground built for his true form. He explained that Bai Luochuan could train there alone with Qi Yu, without worrying about damaging the reinforced floor and walls.

• Qi Yu told Bai Luochuan that simulated combat had little to teach him after his real battles, and that another instructor would supervise the other Alphas.
• Qi Yu kissed Bai Luochuan, then led him away from the usual training area.
• Bai Luochuan realized they were leaving the part of the base he knew and learned that Qi Yu was taking him to a new training ground made specifically for him.
• Qi Yu showed Bai Luochuan the reinforced training ground and said he could train in his true form while Qi Yu stayed with him.

Bai Luochuan transformed into his Fire Dragon form in the Training Ground while Qi Yu stayed beside him, and they confirmed that Bai Luochuan could control his size and avoid harming Qi Yu. Qi Yu then had him destroy the surveillance equipment, leaving the higher-ups unable to watch the training remotely.

• Bai Luochuan learned that others had backed out of accompanying him because his Fire Dragon form burned any living creature that approached, so Qi Yu stayed with him.
• Bai Luochuan worried he might step on Qi Yu while transforming, but Qi Yu reassured him that he could protect himself and that Bai Luochuan had never hurt him before.
• Bai Luochuan took his Fire Dragon form and kept a safe distance from Qi Yu, confirming that he could control his position despite his enormous size.
• Qi Yu pointed out a surveillance camera, and Bai Luochuan moved close enough to burn it out without using dragonfire.
• Qi Yu told Bai Luochuan to destroy every surveillance device in the Training Ground, preventing the higher-ups from watching the training remotely.

Qi Yu tried to train Bai Luochuan in his Giant Dragon form, then used the facility to test his attacks by showing him what it identified as his deepest fear. Bai Luochuan saw a dead fox resembling Qi Yu but dismissed the simulation as fake.

• Qi Yu stopped the ineffective exercises and asked Bai Luochuan about his instincts in Giant Dragon form.
• Bai Luochuan said he could fly and agreed to test his attacks in the simulation facility.
• Qi Yu operated the controls, expecting the facility to project something Bai Luochuan feared.
• The screen showed a bloodied, motionless white fox with nine tails, but Bai Luochuan calmly called the image fake and said it needed to look more realistic.

Qi Yu explained that the training device was meant to reveal Bai Luochuan’s fears, then asked him to imagine Qi Yu trapped by monsters. Bai Luochuan attacked the screen with dragon fire before collapsing, assuring Qi Yu that Fox-Fox was safe.

• Bai Luochuan explained that he recognized the fox on the screen as fake because its tails and fur were wrong and he knew Qi Yu would not collapse beside him.
• Qi Yu revealed the training device’s purpose, but Bai Luochuan said simulated danger would not scare him because he had faced real monsters before.
• Qi Yu asked Bai Luochuan to imagine monsters trapping him and consider how he would rescue him.
• Bai Luochuan’s eyes filled with killing intent, and he destroyed the screen and part of the wall with dragon fire.
• Bai Luochuan’s dragon form vanished as he collapsed from exhaustion, and he told Qi Yu that Fox-Fox was safe.

Bai Luochuan had collapsed from overexertion, and the doctor said Qi Yu’s pheromones would be enough to help him recover. After confronting the base officers about the damaged training ground, Qi Yu said Bai Luochuan’s next training session should take place in an open area so he could try flying.

• The doctor told Qi Yu that Bai Luochuan had collapsed from overexertion and needed only his Alpha’s pheromones to recover.
• Qi Yu stayed beside Bai Luochuan, kissed his hand, and lamented that he had pushed himself so hard.
• The base officers came to speak with Qi Yu, who questioned the person in charge about the training ground’s damaged wall and worried that Bai Luochuan might have been hurt.
• The adjutant apologized and promised to restore the training ground with sturdier materials.
• Qi Yu said the next session should use an open area so Bai Luochuan could try flying as a Giant Dragon.

After Bai Luochuan woke in the hospital, Qi Yu comforted him and teased him with his pheromones, then carried him home to address his habit of exhausting himself while trying to protect Qi Yu. The chapter left Bai Luochuan nervous about what Qi Yu meant by making sure he learned his lesson.

• The base leaders agreed to plan an uninterrupted route for Qi Yu to test the Giant Dragon, then asked about Bai Luochuan's condition.
• Qi Yu returned to the hospital room, where Bai Luochuan woke and began to apologize, but Qi Yu kissed him and took responsibility for the training and mental exercise.
• Bai Luochuan explained how imagining the scene had made him angry, caused him to attack, and left him collapsing from dizziness before he could help Qi Yu escape.
• Qi Yu increased his pheromones to help Bai Luochuan recover and kissed him until Bai Luochuan grew flustered and warned him they were in public.
• Qi Yu laughed at Bai Luochuan's alarm, picked him up, and carried him home, saying he was frightened by Bai Luochuan's reckless self-sacrifice and would make sure he learned his lesson.

Qi Yu carried Bai Luochuan back to their dormitory and punished him for his reckless actions, leaving him exhausted and unable to move. When Bai Luochuan woke, Qi Yu assured him that he had reported their absence and that their leave was authorized.

• Qi Yu stopped Bai Luochuan from getting out of the car, teased him about seeming eager, then carried him into the dormitory.
• Bai Luochuan opened the door for Qi Yu, then embraced and kissed him as soon as they were inside.
• Qi Yu restrained Bai Luochuan’s hands to the headboard and continued their passionate encounter, feeding him along the way.
• Bai Luochuan later woke sore and weak, barely able to speak as Qi Yu returned with food.
• Qi Yu gave Bai Luochuan water and explained that he had reported their absence and that their monthly leave allowance covered the time they spent recovering.

Bai Luochuan recovered after an intimate day with Qi Yu, then continued training and learning to control his Giant Dragon form. As monsters appeared to be preparing for another war, the higher-ups asked Qi Yu to bring Bai Luochuan to the battlefield, leaving their decision unresolved.

• Qi Yu apologized for pushing Bai Luochuan too far, and Bai Luochuan accepted his apology before letting Qi Yu feed him porridge.
• Qi Yu refused to let Bai Luochuan return to training that day, and they spent their leave together at home.
• In the following days, Bai Luochuan trained and practiced controlling his Giant Dragon form and operating a Mecha with Qi Yu.
• Bai Luochuan and Qi Yu discovered that his Giant Dragon form’s heat remained uncontrolled and that he could sustain the transformation for only a few hours before exhaustion and unconsciousness.
• The higher-ups told Qi Yu that monsters seemed to be preparing for another war and urged him to bring Bai Luochuan to the battlefield.

Qi Yu admitted that he was preparing to go to the battlefield but had kept it from Bai Luochuan because he feared Bai Luochuan would be hurt. Bai Luochuan insisted on joining him as his copilot, and Qi Yu was left to accept that they would face the danger together.

• Bai Luochuan cornered Qi Yu after training and demanded to know what he had been hiding.
• Bai Luochuan said he would go to the battlefield, and Qi Yu admitted he was going but had hesitated to tell him.

• Qi Yu confessed that he feared Bai Luochuan would be hurt, but Bai Luochuan insisted they would go together and return—or face the end—side by side.

Qi Yu accepted Bai Luochuan’s decision to join him on the front lines, on the condition that they pilot the same Mecha, and Bai Luochuan trained harder in preparation. A month later, they entered Qi Yu’s Mecha, where he told Bai Luochuan to focus on watching him as they prepared to depart.

• Qi Yu told the senior officials that Bai Luochuan would join him in battle only if they piloted the same Mecha, and they agreed to his conditions.

• Qi Yu reminded Bai Luochuan to keep his eyes on him and leave everything else to him, saying he would not lose.

Bai Luochuan accompanied Qi Yu on a mission to fight monsters gathered on a nearby Desolate Planet, where the two fought side by side in a Mecha. They escaped the main battle and hid among the vegetation, but Qi Yu suspected the monsters had lured him into a trap and began to feel excited by the danger.

• Bai Luochuan joined Qi Yu in the Mecha as his copilot and they traveled to the Desolate Planet with a team of other Mechas.
• The team split into groups after landing, leaving Bai Luochuan and Qi Yu to fight alone in Qi Yu's prototype Mecha.
• Monsters attacked in greater numbers and with stronger coordination than expected, and Bai Luochuan helped Qi Yu fend them off by operating the Mecha's rear weapons.
• After several hours, Qi Yu piloted the Mecha out of the battle, and Bai Luochuan finished off their pursuers as they reached a concealed depression.
• Qi Yu suspected the monsters had gathered their forces to target him, then admitted to Bai Luochuan that the danger was making him excited.

After learning that two mechs at position three had been destroyed, Bai Luochuan and Qi Yu discussed how dangerous the monsters were and prepared to return to help the other team members. Bai Luochuan promised Qi Yu he would act when needed because he still wanted to go home with him.

• Bai Luochuan told Qi Yu he would support whatever he chose, but warned that they lacked enough fuel to fight the monsters for many days.
• The base commander reported that both mechs at position three had been destroyed and their personnel were missing.

• Qi Yu urged Bai Luochuan to stay alert and said they should return after resting so the monsters would not attack the other team members.
• Bai Luochuan reassured Qi Yu that he understood the danger and wanted to go home with him.

Qi Yu and Bai Luochuan fought monsters for days while the command center reported catastrophic losses and ordered them to return. After the monsters retreated, the pair decided to inspect damage to their mecha together, leaving the safety of their stealth mode to repair it.

• Qi Yu and Bai Luochuan resumed fighting as the monsters gathered around their mecha.
• The command center reported that nearly every team had been lost and ordered Qi Yu to disengage and return.

• After days of battle, the remaining monsters retreated into the darkness, and Bai Luochuan and Qi Yu took the chance to rest.
• Bai Luochuan offered to inspect the damaged rear of the mecha, but Qi Yu insisted they leave the mecha and investigate together.

Bai Luochuan proposed that Qi Yu pilot the damaged Mecha while he guarded it in Giant Dragon form, allowing them to explore the Desolate Planet before the monsters attacked again. After resting together for an hour, Qi Yu agreed, making Bai Luochuan promise to report any trouble and avoid getting hurt.

• Bai Luochuan and Qi Yu inspected their damaged Mecha and realized its rear Combat Modules had been nearly destroyed.
• Qi Yu estimated that a quick aerial survey would take two or three hours, but they would still need to land to collect detailed data.
• Bai Luochuan proposed guarding the Mecha's rear in Giant Dragon form while Qi Yu piloted it and explored the planet.
• Qi Yu and Bai Luochuan rested together for an hour before Qi Yu agreed to follow Bai Luochuan's plan, provided Bai Luochuan told him immediately if anything went wrong.

Qi Yu piloted the Mecha toward the troubled area while Bai Luochuan watched from its shoulder, and they found only low-level monsters below. They suspected a stronger monster was lying in ambush, but Qi Yu rejected Bai Luochuan’s unspoken plan to put himself at risk and chose to keep observing.

• Qi Yu and Bai Luochuan concluded that the monsters were likely waiting to ambush them if they descended into attack range.
• Bai Luochuan began to suggest a plan, but Qi Yu cut him off, refused to let him risk himself, and decided to keep searching with the Mecha’s detection equipment.
