Chapter Summaries

Sun Fei rejected El Shaarawy’s call to join the fight against the Holy Church but offered to hold off the three Judgment Divine Envoys so Shaarawy could escape. Shaarawy refused to flee and began fighting Collina, choosing to settle the conflict there.

• El Shaarawy denounced the Holy Church and connected its sudden burst of Holy Power in Lyon to its campaign against the Central Region empires, prompting Sun Fei to reconsider what he knew.
• El Shaarawy urged Sun Fei to join his cause, warning that the Church was eliminating powerful people who would not submit to it.
• Sun Fei refused to join but used his pressure to restrain Collina, Hening, and Skeltenberg while offering Shaarawy ten minutes to escape.
• Shaarawy broke Sun Fei’s pressure with a punch of purple heavenly fire and declared that he would settle the fight there.
• Shaarawy formed a giant axe and attacked Collina with the full strength of a Young Supreme.

Sun Fei stayed out of Shaarawy’s battle against the Church’s Judgment Divine Envoys and began to suspect that Shaarawy had a trump card. Shaarawy wounded Skeltenberg but was badly injured by Collina, leaving the fight unresolved.

• Sun Fei withdrew with Angela, the guards, palace maids, and surviving magical beasts, making clear that he would not join either side.
• Shaarawy and Collina fought fiercely as Sun Fei watched and judged that Collina could not match Shaarawy alone.
• Skeltenberg attacked Shaarawy from behind, but Shaarawy dodged and struck Collina hard enough to send him flying.
• Skeltenberg joined the close-range fight, and Sun Fei concluded that the two envoys could hold Shaarawy at bay together, especially if Hening joined them.
• Sun Fei suspected Shaarawy had a trump card and searched the surroundings for clues.
• Shaarawy shattered Skeltenberg’s knight’s lance and sent him crashing into the lake, but Collina’s Sword of Judgment pierced Shaarawy’s defenses and tore open his waist.

Shaarawy baited Collina into focusing on a long spell while four powerful allies secretly killed Skeltenberg beneath the lake. The allies emerged to surround the others, and Sun Fei recognized them.

• Collina offered Shaarawy a chance to join Sicily Island, but Shaarawy mocked him and healed his waist wound with purple flames.
• Collina began merging Swords of Judgment into a Sword of the Gods, while Shaarawy stopped dodging and watched him with a mocking smile.
• Collina realized Skeltenberg had not emerged from the lake and lost control of his spell as he suspected a trap.
• Four men burst from the lake and encircled Collina, Hening, Sun Fei, and the others.
• Skeltenberg’s corpse fell at Collina’s feet, revealing that the four men had killed him, and Sun Fei recognized them.

Sun Fei watched as Shaarawy and the other Young Supremes prepared to kill Collina and Hening, then refused Collina’s plea to help the Judgment Divine Envoys. He left the envoys trapped and made clear he still intended to punish Hening for ogling Elena.

• Collina identified the five Young Supremes surrounding him and learned that Shaarawy had lured the Judgment Divine Envoys into an ambush by the lake.
• Shaarawy explained that his group had planned the ambush, while Sun Fei’s arrival had been a coincidence.
• Hening panicked and ordered Sun Fei to protect the envoys, and Collina earnestly asked Sun Fei to join them against the Young Supremes.
• Sun Fei refused Collina’s request and threatened Hening over his behavior toward Elena.
• Shaarawy praised Sun Fei and again invited him to use his strength for the human race.

Shaarawy offered Collina and Hening individual duels, and Hening chose the wounded Shaarawy while Collina selected Palacio. As the battles began, Sun Fei watched the five Young Supremes and suspected they belonged to a larger force opposing the Holy Church.

• Shaarawy told Collina and Hening to choose one of the five Young Supremes as an opponent, promising to let a victor leave alive.
• Hening chose Shaarawy, confident he could survive three moves and later take revenge.
• Collina chose Palacio, who immediately attacked him with a series of real and illusory figures.
• Sun Fei observed Pato, Milito, Palacio, Cassano, and Shaarawy and concluded their reported deaths had been faked.
• Sun Fei suspected Shaarawy's talk of “we” referred to a powerful force beyond the five men present.

Sun Fei suspected the encounter was part of a larger scheme, then met the Central Region Young Supremes and was drawn into a fight with Cassano. Meanwhile, Shaarawy revealed his Demigod domain and trapped Hening, leaving the Judgment Divine Envoy helpless before him.

• Sun Fei reflected that a hidden mastermind might have arranged the trap as part of a wider plan, and he had avoided getting involved to protect himself and Chambord City.
• Cassano approached Sun Fei, boasted about his looks, and challenged him to a match; Sun Fei finally punched him after growing impatient.
• Hening prepared six Swords of Judgment as his final attack, confident he could defeat Shaarawy and escape.
• Shaarawy spread purple flames across the area, using his Demigod domain to sever Hening's control of magic and dissolve the Swords of Judgment.
• Hening begged Shaarawy for pity, but Shaarawy refused.

Little Pharaoh killed Hening by igniting purple flames inside his body, while Palacio fought Collina within the Holy Power Domain. Palacio ultimately killed Collina, leaving the battle ended.

• Little Pharaoh used his Purple Heavenly Fire domain to burn Hening alive from within, leaving only his intact skin and clothes.
• Collina unleashed his Holy Power Domain and used a piercing whistle and a yellow plaque to immobilize Palacio before striking him with Swords of the Gods.
• Palacio evaded Collina’s attacks with his speed and afterimages, but Collina identified his real body and pinned him with a blood-red plaque.
• Collina attacked Palacio with more Swords of the Gods and believed he had killed him, but Palacio appeared behind him and cut him at the waist, legs, and throat.
• Collina realized Palacio had been unaffected by his domain before his wounds and invading blade qi killed him.

Palacio defeated the Judgment Temple's sixth Judgment Divine Envoy, while Sun Fei exchanged blows with Cassano and impressed him with his strength. Cassano tried to become Sun Fei's disciple, but Sun Fei offered to teach him a body-refining method as a friend instead.

• Palacio revealed his Demigod-level control of his blue-light domain and used a surprise attack to kill the sixth Judgment Divine Envoy.
• Sun Fei and Cassano exchanged attacks, and each recognized the other as a formidable opponent.
• Cassano asked Sun Fei to teach him how to become stronger and dropped to his knees to take him as his master.
• Pato went to stand guard for El, while Milito left to check on Rodriguez rather than intervene.
• Sun Fei refused to take Cassano as a disciple and explained an ancient God Clan body-refining method to him as a gift.

Sun Fei taught Cassano the Body Gang Venerable method, and Cassano swore brotherhood with him in gratitude. After the battle ended and the Judgment Divine Envoys Collina and Hening were slain, Shaarawy challenged Sun Fei to a friendly fight, which began with both men unleashing their full strength.

• Sun Fei explained the Body Gang Venerable method to Cassano, who recognized its value and listened with excitement.

• After ten moves, Sun Fei and Shaarawy laughed and retreated from each other.

Sun Fei identified the hidden injuries caused by Shaarawy’s Three Thousand Blazing Flames Art and taught him a technique to heal them, earning Shaarawy’s sworn friendship. Diego Milito then challenged Sun Fei to a spar so he could learn about the flaws in his martial dao.

• Sun Fei warned Shaarawy that his aggressive martial art had caused hidden injuries and would hinder his future progress.
• Sun Fei taught Shaarawy the Three Yangs Bring Prosperity Art, which could eliminate those injuries.
• Shaarawy thanked Sun Fei, swore to be his brother, and exchanged an oath with him.
• Diego Milito stepped forward and asked Sun Fei for guidance, then drew his greatsword and began fighting him.
• Sun Fei summoned two greatswords and met Milito’s precise, seemingly flawless swordsmanship with a rapid exchange of blows.

Sun Fei fought the five Young Supremes from the Central Region and used his martial knowledge to reveal flaws in their techniques, earning their friendship. After the matches, Shaarawy proposed that they drink together and not go home until they were drunk.

• Sun Fei struggled to overcome Milito until he used a force-shifting technique to disrupt the Prince’s flawless transitions and expose openings.
• Milito realized that perfect martial arts were an illusion, thanked Sun Fei for his guidance, and promised to help him whenever needed.
• Rodrigo Palacio asked Sun Fei for instruction, and Sun Fei fought the remaining Young Supremes.
• Sun Fei identified weaknesses in Palacio’s and Pato’s martial arts and gave each of them a secret technique to address them.
• Shaarawy suggested that the group drink together, and Pato agreed, eager to share Sun Fei’s treasured wine.

Sun Fei and five Young Supremes celebrated their alliance at the lake, then parted with a promise to meet again. As Sun Fei prepared to return to Chambord City, a growing disturbance among the beasts in the Endless Forest Sea suggested a new danger.

• Sun Fei and the five Young Supremes drank, tested their martial arts, and named the lake Lake of the Six Supremes before promising to meet there again within a year.
• After the five departed, Mario Götze revealed himself and said he would not seek out Sun Fei until his mission was complete, while Milito offered to mediate their feud.
• Sun Fei stayed by the lake another day with his two wives, then prepared to return to Chambord City on the third morning.
• Birds and magic beasts across the Endless Forest Sea grew increasingly agitated, and Sun Fei realized the disturbance was not caused by the battle with the Judgment Divine Envoys.

After Angela learned that a powerful force was unsettling the creatures of the Endless Forest Sea, Sun Fei sent his companions back to Chambord City and went into the forest to investigate. He reached its deep, dangerous interior, where the plants and beasts were increasingly agitated, but had not yet discovered the force’s source.

• Angela calmed an Iron-Winged Falcon and learned that a powerful force was approaching from deep within the Endless Forest Sea.
• Sun Fei ruled out an abyssal beast and an Undead Frenzy, then ordered Angela and the others to alert Chambord City and prepare to retreat to the Zuli River if a beast tide came.
• Sun Fei left for the forest with Little Raccoon while Elena escorted the others back toward the city.
• After encountering frenzied high-level magical beasts, Sun Fei concealed his aura in Druid Mode and traveled along the forest floor.
• Sun Fei ventured more than 150,000 kilometers into the forest and examined its dark, swampy ground and ancient vegetation.

Sun Fei traveled deeper into the Endless Forest Sea, where a mysterious force drove the beasts into a frenzy and someone watched him through possessed animals. The watcher discovered Sun Fei and sent five enormous figures to capture him alive.

• Sun Fei used Giant-Winged Ravens to scout and raced through the forest in Werewolf form, sensing an oppressive power that was unlike Undead Death Energy.
• Sun Fei sensed eyes watching him and found only a giant platypus-like beast and an owl-like bird, neither of which could account for the threat he felt.
• Sun Fei seized an Iron-Winged Falcon and discovered a strange power inside it that burst its head, revealing that someone had possessed it to observe him.
• Sun Fei decided to go deeper into the forest to uncover who was watching him.
• Elsewhere, a mysterious person recognized Sun Fei as a potentially important discovery and ordered O'Neal, Duncan, Pippen, Brown, and Mutombo to capture him alive.

Sun Fei was ambushed and captured by four powerful strangers, but he had allowed himself to be taken to meet their leader, High Priest Nash. After breaking free of their net, he asked the group who they were.

• Sun Fei was caught in a curse aura and attacked by four strangers using a green net, blades, and paralyzing spikes.
• The attackers bound Sun Fei and took him to a hidden place where High Priest Nash waited beneath a carved wooden pillar.
• Nash said Sun Fei had come with them willingly and invited him to get up.
• Sun Fei broke free of the net, surprising the group, and asked who they were.

Sun Fei discovered that Nash and his companions belonged to the Behemoth Beast Clan, thought to have vanished after crossing the Endless Forest Sea. Nash mistook Sun Fei, who was in Druid Mode as a Werewolf, for an orc and recognized his War Beast Summon, leaving Sun Fei's identity and origins in question.

• Sun Fei recognized Nash's companions as powerful orcs and connected their survival to the legendary Ancient Mythical Road.

• Nash said he sensed a familiar aura in Sun Fei and asked why he had never seen him in Van Gaal City.
• Sun Fei summoned four giant white wolves, startling Nash and the warriors.
• Nash identified the wolves as a War Beast Summon and asked whether Sun Fei was a Wolf Clan descendant and how he had reached the forest.

Sun Fei revealed to the Behemoth Beastmen experts that he was human, despite demonstrating both Wolf Clan and Bear Clan transformations and summoning their battle beasts. He introduced himself as Alexander, king of Chambord City, and left the Fox high priest wondering if his abilities came from inherited bloodline memories.

• Sun Fei ended his Werewolf Transformation and returned to human form, surprising the beastmen experts, who showed no immediate hostility.
• Sun Fei transformed into a Werebear and summoned a giant yellow bear, leaving the experts astonished by his Wolf Clan and Bear Clan abilities.
• The Fox high priest, Nash, asked whether Sun Fei was human or a Behemoth Beastman, and Sun Fei identified himself as Alexander, king of Chambord City.
• Nash questioned how Sun Fei had acquired the beastmen abilities, and Sun Fei claimed they had awakened when he turned eighteen.
• Nash wondered aloud whether Sun Fei's sudden awakening had been an inheritance of bloodline memories.

Sun Fei learned that Fox High Priest Nash and the orc masters were an advance team from the Land of Exile, sent to see whether the Behemoth Orcs could return to Azeroth. He invited them to visit his kingdom, and Nash agreed to go with him.

• Sun Fei warned that the continent faced war and urged the orcs to reconsider returning.
• Sun Fei offered to guide the orcs to his kingdom, and Nash accepted the invitation.

Sun Fei led the orc masters out of the Endless Forest Sea toward Chambord City and learned how Totem Power had helped them survive their migration. Nearing the city, he gave the orcs new clothes and armor, but his next words embarrassed and angered them.

• Nash explained how the orcs used Totem Power through a Giant Totem Pillar to protect their camp.
• Sun Fei learned that an Intimidation Totem had helped the orcs survive the Endless Forest Sea, though many tribes had perished during their migration.
• Nash sent Ginobili and Battier back to report the group's whereabouts before the rest followed Sun Fei toward Chambord City.
• The orcs reached the edge of the forest and saw Chambord City in the distance, where Sun Fei offered them outfits from his storage ring.
• O'Neal asked whether the clothing and armor were really for them, and Sun Fei confirmed it before his next words left the orcs humiliated and angry.

Sun Fei brought Nash and the other orc masters to Chambord City, where they accepted his equipment and learned the city's rules. As Chambord's air force arrived to escort them, the orcs were stunned by the city's military strength and questioned how humanity had grown so powerful.

• Sun Fei offered the orc masters fine clothes and magical armor, and Nash eagerly put on the equipment despite his prayers against greed.
• Sun Fei sent a Crimson Hummingbird to Brook to arrange a secret reception, then explained Chambord City's rules to Nash and the others.
• Three Black Warships arrived to escort the group, impressing the orc masters with Chambord City's warriors, weapons, and airships.
• Nash and the other orcs saw a Gargantuan Beast, three dragons, and fifty king-level demon beasts flying in formation with the fleet.
• The orc masters compared Chambord City's force to powerful orc tribes and realized their plans to dominate the continent had been based on ignorance.
