Chapter Summaries

Lu Wu met Tang Yue, who investigated him because a mysterious shadowy presence had disappeared after he arrived, then joined Yu Keyan’s team for field training beyond Bo City’s Safe Zone. The team followed a wolf’s howl into the woodland, where Lu Wu sensed two nearby Demon Beasts as they continued their hunt.

• Lu Wu told Tang Yue he was a Fire Element student from Magic City Seventh Magic High School, and Yu Keyan confirmed his identity.
• Tang Yue warned Lu Wu to stay cautious in Bo City, and Yu Keyan took him back to the lodging to rest before the field training.
• Yu Keyan led Lu Wu, Mu Shengqi, Yang Wan, and Zhang Jierui beyond the Safe Zone and assigned them roles for the hunt.
• After a wolf howled nearby, Mu Shengqi returned from scouting, and Yu Keyan arranged the team’s formation as they entered the woodland.
• As the team advanced, Lu Wu sensed two Demon Beast presences nearby, one strong and one weak.

Yu Keyan’s squad tried to lure two One-Eyed Demon Wolves into a trap, but the stronger wolf abandoned the chase because it was worried about its injured companion. Lu Wu proposed attacking the weaker wolf to enrage the stronger one, and the chapter ended with Yang Wan shielding Mu Shengqi from its renewed pursuit.

• Yu Keyan prepared an Earth Element trap and assigned Mu Shengqi to lure the Demon Beasts while Yang Wan protected him and Zhang Jierui prepared to restrain them.
• Mu Shengqi lured a One-Eyed Demon Wolf toward the trap, but it turned back before reaching it, apparently because it was worried about its weaker companion.
• Lu Wu deduced that attacking the other One-Eyed Demon Wolf would enrage the stronger one and draw it into the trap, and Mu Shengqi agreed to try.
• Mu Shengqi attacked the weaker wolf, causing the stronger One-Eyed Demon Wolf to howl and pursue him with increased speed.
• Yu Keyan ordered Yang Wan to intervene, and her Water Barrier separated the wolf from Mu Shengqi long enough for him to gain distance.

Mu Shengqi, Lu Wu, and their team killed two One-Eyed Demon Wolves and searched for the cubs the female had recently delivered. They found three newborn cubs in a cave and decided to rest there before continuing their hunt.

• Mu Shengqi lured a One-Eyed Demon Wolf into Yu Keyan and Zhang Jierui's trap, and Yu Keyan killed it with a lightning strike.

• Yu Keyan ordered the group to search for the cubs, and Lu Wu spotted dense vines concealing a cave.
• Lu Wu and the others found three newborn One-Eyed Demon Wolf cubs in the cave, and Yu Keyan decided to take them along.
• Yu Keyan agreed to let the team rest in the cave for a few hours, and Lu Wu headed toward the wolf corpses with his short blade.

Lu Wu sacrificed Demon Beast organs to strengthen his Wind Element Stars, then continued hunting with his team as they raised the One-Eyed Demon Wolf cubs. As their month of training neared its end, the group discussed whether to sell the cubs, with Yu Keyan offering to contact the Great Sparrow City Military Department.

• Wu Xiaoxiao and Dongfang Qing discussed their teams’ experiences facing demon beasts, and Lu Wu said their group had killed nearly thirty.
• Wu Xiaoxiao asked about Lu Wu’s injury, and Lu Wu credited Yu Keyan’s powerful Intermediate Lightning Magic for helping defeat the Warrior-level demon beast.

Lu Wu sensed a large group of Demon Beasts approaching the canyon, including a powerful one, but the team leaders doubted his warning and sent scouts to investigate. Lu Wu moved to higher ground with Wu Xiaoxiao and Dongfang Qing, still puzzled that Yu Keyan and the others had not detected the beasts.

• Lu Wu returned to Wu Xiaoxiao and Dongfang Qing, who followed him to higher ground despite doubting his warning.
• Lu Wu wondered why Yu Keyan and the others had not sensed the approaching Demon Beasts.

Lu Wu and the others witnessed two Bone Spike Fierce Wolves lead a pack of Demon Beasts into the canyon, forcing Liang Baiye and the Intermediate Mages to stand and fight. Their attacks injured the smaller wolf, and Liang Baiye ordered them to focus on it after the taller wolf intervened to protect its companion.

• Lu Wu spotted the approaching Demon Beasts before Liang Baiye did, and the group received a late Holy Light warning that two Warrior Level beasts were near.
• Liang Baiye ordered those below Intermediate Level to scatter while she and the other mages prepared to fight; Dongfang Qing set woodland ablaze to delay the beasts.
• Yu Keyan's lightning struck a One-Eyed Demon Wolf instead of the taller Bone Spike Fierce Wolf, which charged the mages and broke through their defenses.
• Mu Shengqi and the other Intermediate Mages drove back and wounded the smaller Bone Spike Fierce Wolf with successive attacks.
• The taller Bone Spike Fierce Wolf protected the smaller one from the mages' attacks, and Liang Baiye ordered everyone to target the smaller wolf.

Lu Wu and the others fought a lesser warrior-level Bone Spike Fierce Wolf while Yu Keyan and the other Intermediate Mages battled her mate. After the wolves split up, Lu Wu’s group blinded the lesser wolf and used the rugged terrain to keep her off balance, leaving her badly wounded as the fight continued.

• Yu Keyan and the other Intermediate Mages battered the two Bone Spike Fierce Wolves, while Lu Wu suspected the beasts might have been lured to the canyon.

• Lu Wu and the others blinded the lesser wolf with lightning and flames, then targeted her legs to make her stumble over the rocky ground.
• Lu Wu repeatedly burned the lesser wolf with Bone Burning as the others continued attacking her.

Lu Wu and the others defeated two Bone Spike Fierce Wolves, then met Zhan Kong, a Military Mage who offered to recruit them. As the group returned to Snow Peak Mountain Station and divided the spoils, Hei Guan asked why so many demon beasts had appeared inside the Safe Zone, leaving Zhan Kong to admit that something had slipped through patrols.

• Lu Wu helped finish off a lesser Warrior Level Bone Spike Fierce Wolf, while Yu Keyan and the other Intermediate Mages killed the regular one.
• Zhan Kong appeared above the canyon and asked Lu Wu his name, but Lu Wu declined his implied recruitment offer.

• Yu Keyan offered to share the spoils evenly, and Lu Wu chose the two organs his squad had received.
• Hei Guan questioned why demon beasts had entered the Safe Zone, and Zhan Kong said something must have slipped through the patrols.

After the assessment, Lu Wu sacrificed two Bone Spike Fierce Wolf organs, strengthening his Wind Element Stars and upgrading Little Fire into a Lesser Warrior. He took Little Fire outside Bo City to test his new strength, but their hunt yielded only a slain One-Eyed Demon Wolf before nightfall sent them back.

• Zhan Kong and Hei Guan discussed the shortage of recruits and the assessment, while Lu Wu and the others realized Hei Guan had driven the demon beasts toward them to test their abilities.
• Liang Baiye asked Lu Wu how he had sensed the beasts, and he guessed that Hei Guan had specifically blocked the others' perception.
• Lu Wu summoned Little Fire outside Bo City and sacrificed a Bone Spike Fierce Wolf liver, strengthening his Wind Element Stars.
• Lu Wu sacrificed a Bone Spike Fierce Wolf heart, and Little Fire underwent a bloodline-related upgrade that made him a six-meter-tall Lesser Warrior.
• Lu Wu rode Little Fire outside the city to test his combat strength, and Little Fire chased down and killed a One-Eyed Demon Wolf.
• Lu Wu called off the hunt at nightfall and headed back with Little Fire.

Lu Wu discovered that Little Fire could carry him using Shadow Escape, then left Bo City unnoticed after the hunting squads investigated the remains of two Demon Beasts. After months of cultivation, Lu Wu faced a lesser warrior Heavenly Horned Toad Demon in the Hanging Coffin Swamp and ordered Little Fire to attack it.

• Little Fire used Shadow Escape to move Lu Wu dozens of meters, and Lu Wu tested how long the ability could last.
• Xu Dahuang's team investigated two freshly killed Demon Beasts in Bo City and found powerful ape-like footprints before Lu Wu escaped with Little Fire.
• Lu Wu returned to Magic City, discussed applying to Imperial Capital Academy with Mu Nujiao, and continued cultivating.
• Over the following months, Lu Wu strengthened his Fire and Wind Elements, trained his body with Elder Luo, and helped Little Fire grow through battles and devouring Demon Beast remains.
• A lesser warrior Heavenly Horned Toad Demon appeared before Lu Wu in the Hanging Coffin Swamp, and Lu Wu ordered Little Fire to kill it.

Lu Wu and Little Fire killed the venomous Heavenly Horned Toad Demon in Hanging Coffin Swamp while black smoke and lava erupted deep within Mount Wuyi. After collecting rewards and tending to Little Fire, Lu Wu decided to investigate the eruption and search for possible treasures.

• Little Fire struggled through the swamp to fight the Heavenly Horned Toad Demon, while Lu Wu used Fire Bursts to help it and Wind Track - Swift Movement to escape the toad’s attack.
• A rumble and a plume of black smoke rose from deep within Mount Wuyi, and the terrified Heavenly Horned Toad Demon lost its will to fight as Little Fire attacked.
• Lu Wu repeatedly blasted venom from the toad’s body, letting Little Fire tear open its hide and kill it.
• Lu Wu sacrificed the toad’s gallbladder and liver, strengthening his Fire Element and Wind Element Stars, then gave the remaining organs to Little Fire to recover.
• Lu Wu recognized the smoke and flying lava as signs of a volcanic eruption and decided to investigate in case it had produced treasures.

Lu Wu followed the eruption to a new volcano in Mount Wuyi, where powerful Azure Feather Crows guarded a treasure. After Shen Shitian drove them off and discovered Lu Wu nearby, he revealed that a fire element Spirit Seed lay beneath the crater, leaving Lu Wu able to refine it.

• Lu Wu and Little Fire traveled through Mount Wuyi’s dangerous central region and stopped several mountains from the lava-filled crater, where two powerful Azure Feather Crows circled overhead.
• Lu Wu suspected the crows were guarding a fire-related treasure, but he waited because he could not challenge them while they remained.
• Shen Shitian attacked with Heavenly Flame Funeral: Thousand-Petaled Flame Flower, killing one Azure Feather Crow and driving the other away.
• Lu Wu approached the crater, and Shen Shitian seized him with telekinesis after recognizing his suppressed aura.
• Shen Shitian scolded Lu Wu for risking his life, then explained that the volcano had formed through an eruption and contained a fire element Spirit Seed Lu Wu could refine.

Lu Wu descended into a volcano with Shen Shitian and Luo Long to find a Fire Element Spirit Seed, then refined the Mountain Fire with Shen Shitian’s protection. He emerged with transformed Fire Element Stardust and an unusual second pupil in his left eye.

• Shen Shitian explained that powerful mages could control the temperature of their flames and urged Lu Wu to cultivate his mental willpower toward the second realm.
• The three found a fist-sized Mountain Fire Spirit Seed deep in the lava, and Shen Shitian brought it to Lu Wu.
• Lu Wu began refining the Spirit Seed, enduring intense heat as it transformed his body, strengthened his soul, and changed his Fire Element Stardust.
• After the refinement, Lu Wu noticed a luminous feather visible only through his left eye, while Shen Shitian saw that the eye had developed two pupils and examined him.

After Grandma Song identified the fiery-red pupil in Lu Wu’s left eye as a parasitic double pupil formed around a powerful creature’s eye, Lu Wu chose to have it removed. The pupil resisted by fusing with his own, leaving Song Nianyin unable to separate them.

• Shen Shitian and Luo Long found no obvious problem with Lu Wu after he refined the Mountain Fire Seed, but noticed a second pupil in his left eye.
• In Rongcheng, Song Nianyin identified the red pupil as a parasitic double pupil that had absorbed fire elemental energy and formed the Spirit Seed.
• Song Nianyin explained that the pupil came from an unknown powerful creature and belonged to a set of four; Lu Wu decided to have it removed.
• As Song Nianyin began the procedure, Lu Wu felt severe pain and collapsed, while Shen Shitian restrained him and Song Nianyin examined his eye.
• Song Nianyin and Luo Long saw the parasitic pupil fusing with Lu Wu’s original pupil, and Song Nianyin said she could not separate them.

Lu Wu’s parasitic double pupil began strengthening his Stardust, so Song Nianyin stopped plans to remove his eye and discovered he had two Basic Level magic elements. The elders celebrated his rare dual-element awakening, while Lu Wu concealed that his second element came from the system.

• Song Nianyin examined Lu Wu’s fused pupils and warned that removing the left eye might be necessary to protect him.
• Lu Wu felt energy from the parasitic double pupil strengthening his Stardust and convinced Shen Shitian not to remove it yet.
• Song Nianyin used Healing Light to examine Lu Wu’s Stardust without probing his soul and confirmed the pupil was strengthening it.
• Song Nianyin discovered that Lu Wu had two independent Stardusts and two Basic Level magic elements, though he had not reached the Intermediate Level.
• Shen Shitian and Luo Long praised Lu Wu’s rare dual-element talent, and Lu Wu claimed he had planned to tell Shen Shitian after checking whether he would awaken a second element at the Intermediate Level.

Lu Wu spent two months cultivating under the watch of Shen Shitian and the other elders while the Parasitic Double Pupil quietly strengthened his Fire Element. He began breaking through to the Intermediate Level, and the chapter ended as cracks appeared in the barrier restraining his Stars.

• Lu Wu told Shen Shitian and Luo Long that his Wind Element had reached Basic Level First Tier, and Shen Shitian recognized his innate dual element talent.
• Shen Shitian decided Lu Wu should remain in Rongcheng and cultivate near the crater while the elders monitored the Parasitic Double Pupil.
• Over the next two months, Lu Wu focused on cultivating his Fire Element and Soul Psychic Power under the elders' watch.
• Lu Wu's seven Fire Element Stars battered the barrier to the Intermediate Level as the Parasitic Double Pupil and his Spirit-grade Stardust Magic Tool helped him endure the strain.
• Cracks appeared in the barrier as Lu Wu persisted through the mental backlash of his breakthrough.

Lu Wu broke through to the Intermediate Level in Fire Element magic with the Parasitic Double Pupil’s help, then returned to Rongcheng to collect his badge and undergo a new awakening. The chapter ended with a Magic Association staff member stunned when Lu Wu released his Intermediate Level aura.

• Lu Wu endured the mental backlash until his seven Fire Element Stars broke through the light screen and formed a Nebula of forty-nine Stars.
• After the breakthrough, Lu Wu felt stronger and produced hotter flames, while Song Nianyin judged that the fused Parasitic Double Pupil would no longer harm him.
• Shen Shitian sent Lu Wu back to Rongcheng and urged him to spend time with friends and companions.
• Lu Wu returned to Rongcheng, stayed with Shen Shitian and the others for several days, then went to the Magic Association to collect his badge and arrange his next awakening.
• A staff member doubted Lu Wu’s Intermediate Level test result, so Lu Wu released his aura and shocked him.

Lu Wu awakened the Summoning System at the Intermediate Level, allowing him to summon Little Fire openly, and later hunted demons with Mu Nujiao in the outskirts of Mount Wuyi. When a pack of Heavenly Wind Grass Wolves approached them, Lu Wu attacked with Blazing Fist: Sky Breaker.

• Lu Wu awakened nearly transparent, moon-colored Summoning System stardust and was excited that he could summon Little Fire openly.

• Four Heavenly Wind Grass Wolves approached Lu Wu and Mu Nujiao, and Lu Wu unleashed Blazing Fist: Sky Breaker at one of them.

Lu Wu and Mu Nujiao reached a mountaintop, where they discussed their plans and watched a blood-red sunset. Lu Wu saw a distant coffin above the Hanging Coffin Swamp through his left eye, while Mu Nujiao could not, revealing that the Parasitic Double Pupil was active again.

• Lu Wu killed the Heavenly Wind Grass Wolves with Fierce Fist, and he and Mu Nujiao continued to the mountaintop.
• Mu Nujiao discussed returning to Magic City, while Lu Wu explained that he had promised to help Uncle Jiang Chun hunt demon wolves in Bo City.
• As they watched the sunset, Lu Wu spotted a blood-red coffin in the sky above the Hanging Coffin Swamp and felt warmth in his left eye.
• Mu Nujiao noticed Lu Wu's blood-red pupil, and he told her it had appeared after refining a Fire Element Spirit Seed.
• Lu Wu confirmed that he could see the coffin only through his left eye, identifying the Parasitic Double Pupil as the reason.
