Han Xing’s arrow annihilated the twentieth round’s monsters and hundreds of lords’ territories, prompting the organizers to alter the challenge and send stronger enemies. After secretly revealing enough strength to defeat a Dark Zone Devourer, Han Xing discovered the monsters yielded Source Energy and summoned his forces to fight the next wave.

Han Xing learned that advancing to High-Level Lord required expanding his territory, strengthening his body, and merging the two, then prepared to seek new combat abilities for the upcoming arena matches. Following intelligence he bought from Celestial Peak Commerce, he reached a deep underwater pool and encountered the Moonshadow Eyebeast he had come to hunt.

When he concealed himself with space- and time-based abilities, his name vanished from the Southern Region ranking stele, catching an old man's attention.

A strange entity pursued him but was killed with a finger by an old man on the Central Continent, while the beings in the Unknown Region sealed more teleportation passages.
