After proving his value to Huang Changyu, Su Yi offered to share his knowledge of mutated beasts in exchange for a home. Huang Changyu brought him to the research institute to test and record the information, where an old man challenged their unauthorized use of a computer.

• After the meeting, Wang Xiu thanked Huang Changyu for letting him handle the reactionary forces, and promised to avoid killing unless necessary.
• Huang Changyu questioned whether Su Yi could have dodged Tian Zhuang's shot, but Su Yi insisted he would not have needed to dodge.

Su Yi visited Wen Yue’s laboratory and began compiling information on mutant beasts, telling Wen Yue that the Blood-Toothed Demonic Dragon Whale could fly. He secretly ordered the whale to rise without harming anyone, and its appearance in the central Pacific was detected by satellites and reported to Huaxia’s bases.

• Huang Changyu introduced Su Yi to Wen Yue, who agreed to let Su Yi work on the mutant beast database after learning what he knew.

Su Yi, Wen Yue, and the researchers watched the Blood-Toothed Demonic Dragon Whale emerge in the central Pacific and begin flying. Wen Yue ordered them to monitor it, while Wang Xiu’s bet about eating a hammer ended in a misunderstanding over Wen Yue’s Sichuan and Chongqing expression.

• A researcher told Wen Yue that the Blood-Toothed Demonic Dragon Whale had surfaced in the central Pacific, and he ordered the satellite feed displayed.
• Wang Xiu and Wen Yue bet on whether the whale could fly, with Wang Xiu wagering a computer monitor and Wen Yue a hammer.
• The whale rose into the air, and the researchers recorded its size, estimated weight, and flight speed of about three meters per second.
• Wang Xiu offered Wen Yue a heavy hammer, prompting Wen Yue to explain that “eat a hammer” meant he would not eat anything because he was from Sichuan and Chongqing.
• Wen Yue ordered the researchers to keep tracking the whale, and he and Huang Changyu reasoned that attacking it could provoke retaliation.

As the Blood-Toothed Demonic Dragon Whale rose into the sky, researchers considered using Huaxia’s space ion cannon, while Su Yi warned them that the beast was far stronger and faster than their data suggested. The whale suddenly accelerated to 2,833 meters per second, confirming Su Yi’s warning and leaving the researchers stunned.

• The Sui Emperor and the Witch Gods sensed the Blood-Toothed Demonic Dragon Whale but judged its aura to be no threat to them.
• Huaxia researchers discussed firing the space ion cannon at the whale, while Huang Changyu rejected the idea of endangering civilians in Beautiful Country.

• The Blood-Toothed Demonic Dragon Whale received a message to fly upward as fast as possible and surged skyward at 2,833 meters per second.

• Su Yi corrected the Blood-Toothed Demonic Dragon Whale’s speed to two thousand meters per second and explained that its eyes were weapons, not weak points.
• Wen Yue and the researchers considered the whale’s defenses and the threat it posed, while Wang Xiu wondered whether his throwing knife could hurt it.

• Wen Yue began addressing Su Yi as Professor Su and asked to sit beside him and learn while he revised the materials.

Su Yi compiled detailed information on SSS-Rank mutant beasts, adding recipes based on his inspections and deciding to write a complete global mutant beast cookbook. Wen Yue and Huang Changyu questioned his focus on cooking, but Wen Yue accepted that Su Yi’s beast data was accurate; Su Yi moved on to the next entry, eager to continue.

• Wang Xiu said he would live with Su Yi and Xu Diandian, but Su Yi told him to find his own place, so Wang Xiu left to recruit people for the Inspection Team.
• Wang Xiu considered what he had overheard about Su Yi's power but decided not to ask him about it.
• Xu Diandian asked Su Yi to make sashimi, so Su Yi teleported to the Pacific Ocean and took a small piece from a Blue Rain Devil Octopus's tentacle.
• Su Yi returned with the meat, sliced it, and prepared octopus sashimi for Xu Diandian.
• Su Yi coated a slice with wasabi and fed it to Xu Diandian.

Su Yi tricked Xu Diandian into eating wasabi and a poisonous octopus slice, then fed her delicious, safe octopus until she fell asleep. He remembered Ye Xiaxuan was undergoing trials and sent a decree to the Immortal Realm’s major powers ordering them to put her through every hardship possible.

Su Yi, Wang Xiu, and Xu Diandian entered the Land of Terror, where Wu Wenze asked them to recover advanced technology from its radiation-filled ruins. After Su Yi disappeared, Xu Diandian and Wang Xiu fought off waves of robots and aircraft, while Su Yi watched from the shadows and prepared to send them a new challenge.

• Xu Diandian agreed to visit the Land of Terror with Su Yi and Wang Xiu.
• At the gate, Wu Wenze asked them to bring back technology, explaining that the Land of Terror was also called a Gate of Evolution.

• Robots and aircraft attacked Xu Diandian and Wang Xiu, who defended themselves with blood energy and sword aura.
• Xu Diandian advanced through the robots with the Green Duckweed Sword as Su Yi watched from the shadows and decided to give them something new to face.

Wang Xiu learned that Xu Diandian was the disciple of two Sages and carried the Green Duckweed Sword as they searched for Su Yi. Su Yi then used a powerful black robot to test them, leaving both youths wounded and struggling to fight back.

• Xu Diandian told Wang Xiu that Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable and Supreme Purity Numinous Treasure Celestial Venerable were her masters, and that she wielded the Green Duckweed Sword.

• Xu Diandian used the Ten Thousand Divine Lamps to vanish, leaving Wang Xiu to face the robot alone.
• Su Yi disguised himself in white robes and a bronze mask, blocked the robot, and told Wang Xiu to watch and learn.
• Wang Xiu watched Su Yi and the robot exchange saber techniques and began to understand their moves.
• Su Yi tore open a spatial rift with his saber, then gave the weapon to Wang Xiu and told him to practice.
• Wang Xiu mocked Su Yi and refused to accept him as a father, so Su Yi sealed his blood energy, kicked him, and raised the saber over his head.

Su Yi tested Xu Diandian by threatening Wang Xiu, forcing her to unleash her sword techniques and treasured weapons against him. After Su Yi shattered her final attack, Xu Diandian awakened the Green Duckweed Sword’s spirit, which emerged to defend her.

• The Green Duckweed Sword’s spirit emerged and demanded to know who dared harm its sword master.

Su Yi tested Xu Diandian and Wang Xiu, easily defeating the Green Duckweed Sword's spirit before giving Wang Xiu a chance to attack. Wang Xiu unleashed his strongest strike, and though Su Yi vanished in the collapse, Wang Xiu suspected he had deliberately spared them.

• The Green Duckweed Sword's spirit attacked Su Yi, but Su Yi knocked the sword away with one saber strike and frightened the spirit into hiding.
• Su Yi challenged Xu Diandian, who called for help, while Wang Xiu tried to defend her and demanded that Su Yi release his sealed cultivation.
• Su Yi restored Wang Xiu's strength, moved aside, and tossed his saber away so Wang Xiu could attack without claiming Su Yi had an unfair advantage.
• Wang Xiu combined his qi and blood, throwing dagger, Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, and newly learned saber intent into a strike that swallowed Su Yi in collapsing space.
• After the light returned, Wang Xiu saw a vast ravine, picked up Su Yi's saber, and kowtowed, thanking him while suspecting Su Yi had survived and intentionally let them go.

After Xu Diandian recovered from the battle, Wang Xiu praised his saber technique and found himself wondering if the Masked Man was his father. The pair reunited with Su Yi in the ruins, where Wang Xiu grew suspicious of his strength before a mechanical claw suddenly tore through space.
