Chapter Summaries

At the Mentor Selection Conference, more than a hundred mentors rushed to recruit Ning Chuan, offering him enormous rewards. As Hua Gangyi, Zhou Yang, and Tang Qianjun made competing offers, Ning Chuan had yet to choose a mentor.

• Wang Ke asked Ning Chuan which mentor he would choose, but the chapter ended before he answered.

Ning Chuan delayed choosing a mentor and asked the mentors to demonstrate their Mystic Truths so he could judge their strength and learn from them. After Hu Jia demonstrated the Armor-Piercing Mystic Truth through the Thirteen Slaughter Forms, Ning Chuan advanced the martial art to the Perfect Realm, generated the Divine Weapon Slaughter, and revealed that his skill was already beyond the Expert Realm.

• Ning Chuan weighed the mentors’ offers but refused to choose before learning more about their strength and martial paths.

• Ning Chuan manifested the Divine Weapon Sound Killing, and Yang Gongcheng recognized that he had experienced another moment of enlightenment.

After completing his visits to the Yuying Training Ground instructors, Ning Chuan learned that Qin Ya, the Wind Blood Divine General, required students to pass a trial and decided to take it. He arrived at Storm Mountain Villa, where Qin Ya agreed to meet him, while her disciple Zi Yun'er remained wary of the freshman who had kicked her.

• Ning Chuan reviewed his martial arts progress and asked Wang Ke where to find the Wind Blood Divine General, learning that Qin Ya created Three Thousand Wind Shadows.
• Wang Ke explained that Qin Ya's trial involved dodging wind blades while climbing a mountain, and Ning Chuan chose to attempt it at Storm Mountain Villa.
• Ning Chuan and Wang Ke traveled to the northern campus, where Wang Ke pointed out Qin Ya's manor on the summit.
• At the villa, Zi Yun'er complained to Qin Ya about the kick Ning Chuan had given her, and Qin Ya said he had held back.
• The butler announced that Ning Chuan had arrived to take Qin Ya's disciple selection trial, and Qin Ya went out to meet him.

Ning Chuan took Qin Ya’s assessment at Storm Mountain Villa to test his movement technique and experience her Law. As he dodged her wind blades, Three Thousand Wind Shadows reached perfection and gave birth to the Wind Shadow Dharma Aspect, which he used to evade a supersonic attack.

• Zi Yun'er confronted Ning Chuan about kicking her and cushioning her fall, then mistook his concern about blood splattering for kindness.
• Ning Chuan told Qin Ya he wanted to test Three Thousand Wind Shadows and sense her Law, and she began the assessment by firing wind blades at him.
• Ning Chuan dodged the blades as Three Thousand Wind Shadows rapidly improved, reaching the Perfect Realm during the assessment.
• Qin Ya escalated to a supersonic wind blade, but Ning Chuan comprehended the Wind Shadow Dharma Aspect and dodged it while leaving behind a shadow clone.

Ning Chuan comprehended the Wind Shadow Dharma Aspect during his climb up Storm Mountain, then faced a more difficult assessment ordered by Galaxy University president Wei Chen. He reached the summit with the Phantom Mystic Truth at 66% progress, leaving Zi Yun'er and Wang Ke astonished that he had gained such mastery through enlightenment.

• Ning Chuan used a Shadow Clone to block Qin Ya's wind blade, revealing that he possessed both the Wind Shadow Dharma Aspect and the Wisdom King Dharma Form.
• Wei Chen told Qin Ya to increase the assessment's difficulty because Ning Chuan's enlightenment had not ended, and she sent pursuing wind blades after him.
• Ning Chuan's speed and number of Shadow Clones increased as his enlightenment continued, until he formed more than thirty clones and approached the sound barrier.
• Qin Ya stopped the wind blades, and Ning Chuan reached the summit as his enlightenment ended; his system showed 66% progress in both Three Thousand Wind Shadows and the Wind Shadow Dharma Aspect.
• Wang Ke asked where Ning Chuan's Wind Shadow Dharma Aspect had come from, and he said he had just comprehended it through enlightenment, leaving her and Zi Yun'er stunned.

Ning Chuan accepted Heavenly King Wei Chen’s offer to become Galaxy University’s World Walker, choosing the perilous path toward the King Realm. His appointment stirred the university, while Wu Guangzhi encouraged Wu Hanhai to compete against Ning Chuan for the teaching assistant position.

• Qin Ya offered to take Ning Chuan as her disciple, but Heavenly King Wei Chen appeared and proposed that Ning Chuan become Galaxy University’s World Walker.
• Zi Yun'er and Wang Ke explained the World Walker’s status, privileges, and deadly path to the King Realm, while Wei Chen clarified that Ning Chuan would receive no special treatment on campus.
• Ning Chuan chose to become World Walker and declared that he would ascend to the King Realm.
• Wei Chen announced Ning Chuan’s appointment across campus, prompting varied reactions from students and instructors, including disappointment from Hua Gangyi, Zhou Yang, and Tang Qianjun.
• Wu Hanhai worried that Ning Chuan’s appointment would prevent him from taking the teaching assistant position, but Wu Guangzhi told him to compete fairly and urged him to claim it.

Ning Chuan learned that Qin Ya's distance stemmed from her father's disastrous fate as the previous World Walker, while his own appointment disrupted the freshmen's mentor selection. He continued his training, chose courses to address his weaknesses, and greeted the first day of classes with Song Shiyu and Shi Feng.

• Wang Ke told Ning Chuan that Qin Ya's father, the Thunderfire Divine General, had lost self-awareness after a failed breakthrough and that Qin Ya had offered marriage and her assets to anyone who could save him.
• Ning Chuan's appointment as the World Walker dampened the mentors' interest in other disciples, and the Mentor Selection Conference ended with unusually small gifts for the freshmen.
• Ning Chuan repaired twenty percent of the Eight Wonders Saber imprint and realized that strengthening his thirty-seven Divine Weapons would exhaust his Sharpness Qi supplies in less than ten days.
• Ning Chuan browsed courses to improve his theoretical knowledge, including Force manipulation, Force Apertures, and sciences needed for creating martial arts.
• Song Shiyu and Shi Feng visited Ning Chuan before their first class in suits and watches, and Ning Chuan joked that a truly mature man wore a bathrobe and a locker wristband instead.

Ning Chuan accepted Song Shiyu and Shi Feng as followers after they swore loyalty and pledged to support his path to becoming a Heavenly King. The three headed to their first class, where they saw Wind Blood Divine General Qin Ya preparing to teach Force Manipulation Theory.

• Ning Chuan, Song Shiyu, and Shi Feng left the Stargazing Tower and drew attention from students who discussed their competition rankings and new masters.

• Ning Chuan, Song Shiyu, and Shi Feng entered a packed lecture hall for Force Manipulation Theory, taught by Qin Ya.

Ning Chuan attended a week of classes at Galaxy University and rapidly filled gaps in his theoretical knowledge while continuing to cultivate. During a lecture on mental power, he learned that prehistoric ruins held incomplete cultivation methods and decided to visit the Ancient Martial Arts Research Institute on Saturday.

• Qin Ya taught Force manipulation and challenged Ning Chuan to match the previous World Walker’s control before the semester ended; Ning Chuan agreed.
• Ning Chuan attended packed classes and cultivated each night, using his strong memory and learning ability to make rapid progress.
• Yang Wanli explained that mental power came from the soul and that existing prehistoric cultivation methods remained incomplete.
• Ning Chuan considered whether his perfected mental power martial arts could repair themselves and planned to visit the Ancient Martial Arts Research Institute the next day.

Ning Chuan met with Di Shanjie to discuss selling twenty thousand credits and learned how market timing or a black-market credit company could raise their value. He and Song Shiyu decided to investigate setting up a company but wait until Wu Hanhai and the other targets took the bait.

• Ning Chuan and Song Shiyu met Di Shanjie and Wang Ke to discuss offers for Ning Chuan’s twenty thousand credits.
• Di Shanjie said dealers offered up to twenty-five million yuan per credit for a limited amount and explained that major auctions could push prices higher.
• Di Shanjie proposed selling credits directly to students through a black-market company, but warned that it would require school protection and five thousand credits in bribes.
• Song Shiyu privately asked Ning Chuan whether they should establish a credit company, and Ning Chuan agreed they should explore it but wait until Wu Hanhai and the others took the bait.
• Ning Chuan told Song Shiyu to research the company’s requirements discreetly and quickly.

Ning Chuan visited the Ancient Martial Arts Research Institute to learn how restored martial arts earned rewards and credits, then discovered Xie Lian had restricted him to restoring the Eight Wonders Saber. As he considered appealing to the committee, someone shouted reproachfully from the entrance.

• Ning Chuan asked the reception staff about the process and rewards for restoring martial seals.
• The staff explained the one-time rewards and ongoing martial seal credits researchers earned when others inherited their restored arts.
• Ning Chuan realized the Eight Wonders Saber could bring him substantial credits and imagined building a profitable martial arts ecosystem.
• Ning Chuan learned that Xie Lian had labeled him technically unskilled, preventing him from restoring other martial arts without permission.
• Ning Chuan considered appealing to the committee, but a reproachful shout suddenly came from the entrance.

Ning Chuan wagered his assistant instructor position against Xie Lian’s claim that the Eight Wonders Saber could not be restored. The detector confirmed the martial seal was 100% complete, leaving Xie Lian’s bet unresolved.

• Xie Lian and Wu Hanhai accused Ning Chuan of abandoning the Eight Wonders Saber too soon, but Ning Chuan said he had restored its martial seal.

• Xie Lian took Ning Chuan to the assessment room, where a crowd gathered to watch the test.
• Ning Chuan placed the Eight Wonders Saber martial seal in the detector, which declared its completeness to be 100%.

After Ning Chuan repaired the crippled Eight Wonders Saber, Xie Lian challenged the result and tried to avoid kneeling by claiming Ning Chuan had used a complete martial seal. Qin Ya defended Ning Chuan’s status as the World Walker, and Xie Lian offered a new bet and ten thousand credits, but Ning Chuan said he did not need the money.

• The monitor confirmed that Ning Chuan had repaired the Eight Wonders Saber, shocking the researchers and leaving Xie Lian terrified of paying his bet.
• Xie Lian claimed Ning Chuan must have possessed another complete Eight Wonders Saber martial seal, but Ning Chuan asked him for evidence.
• Qin Ya threatened to kill Xie Lian for publicly accusing the World Walker without proof, while Tang Qianjun secretly offered Ning Chuan twenty Firmament martial arts.
• Xie Lian proposed a martial-art repair contest to cancel his obligation to kneel and offered Ning Chuan ten thousand credits regardless of the outcome.
• Ning Chuan told Xie Lian that he was not short of credits.

Ning Chuan negotiated with Xie Lian over their repair competition and secured the promise of a High Star Tier martial art inheritance alongside thirty thousand credits if he won. The competition began in the martial seal warehouse, where Ning Chuan chose to repair a spear technique.

• Xie Lian raised his offer to thirty thousand credits, but Ning Chuan still refused to compete without better terms.
• Tang Qianjun told Ning Chuan that Xie Lian had an unused inheritance slot for a High Star Tier martial art and urged him to demand it.
• Xie Lian agreed to put up the inheritance and thirty thousand credits, but said Ning Chuan could claim both only if he won.
• Xie Lian set the competition rules: they would each repair a Thick Earth-grade martial art with no more than twenty percent missing, under judges' supervision.
• Ning Chuan and Xie Lian went to the martial seal warehouse, where Ning Chuan chose a fast, fierce spear technique.

Ning Chuan chose Nine Blood Dragon Spears for his wager against Xie Lian and restored it during the inheritance session. When the competition rules were announced, he stunned the gathered researchers by claiming he had already completed the martial art.

• Ning Chuan selected Nine Blood Dragon Spears after learning it contained the Slaughter Mystic Truth, while Xie Lian chose Rock Wave Shield.
• Ning Chuan inherited Nine Blood Dragon Spears and used insights from his other martial arts to restore it and raise it to the Perfect Realm.

• Ning Chuan said he had no use for a monitor and announced that he had already completed Nine Blood Dragon Spears.

Ning Chuan proved he had completed the Nine Blood Dragon Spears, forcing Xie Lian to honor their bet in public. As the crowd recognized Ning Chuan's talent, Wu Hanhai challenged him for the teaching assistant position, offering 100,000 credits if he lost.

• Ning Chuan tested the Nine Blood Dragon Spears martial seal, and the detector confirmed it was 100% complete.
• Xie Lian pretended to faint, but Tang Qianjun struck him with lightning and exposed the act.
• Ning Chuan refused to let Xie Lian escape the bet, so Xie Lian knelt, kowtowed, apologized, and promised to transfer 30,000 credits and a Stars martial art inheritance.
• Tang Qianjun promised Ning Chuan another forty Divine Weapons, while Qin Ya suggested that an epiphany had let him complete the martial arts.
• Wu Hanhai challenged Ning Chuan for the teaching assistant position and offered 100,000 credits if he lost.

Ning Chuan accepted Wu Hanhai’s challenge after Wu invoked the World Walker’s reputation, though Ning Chuan had been trying to keep other students interested in wagering for the teaching assistant position. They scheduled the fight for three days later, leaving Ning Chuan time to prepare his plans.

• Wu Hanhai challenged Ning Chuan and offered to wager 100,000 credits, while onlookers judged Wu Hanhai the stronger fighter.
• Ning Chuan initially refused, wary that accepting too quickly would discourage other students from wagering on the teaching assistant position.
• Wu Hanhai invoked Ning Chuan’s World Walker status and compared him to Qin Lang, who had accepted challenges from Heroes Ranking geniuses.
• Ning Chuan accepted the challenge to protect the World Walkers’ renown, then rejected Wu Hanhai’s demand to fight immediately.

• Tang Qianjun brought Ning Chuan into a restricted room in the Stars Treasury and showed him the High Star Tier Eight Heavenly Gates martial seal.
