Chapter Summaries

At Donghai Martial Arts No. 1 High School’s talent awakening ceremony, Chu Ge reached the ninety-ninth level of Qi and Blood but appeared to awaken no trait. His newly bound Webnovel Trait Check-In system then granted him Blue Silver Grass, and he left to investigate the humiliatingly weak-sounding trait while Xiao Yan chased after him.

• Chu Ge stepped onto the awakening platform as students gossiped about his cultivation and his broken engagement to the Lin Family’s eldest miss.

• Chu Ge told Xiao Yan he was going home to study his Blue Silver Grass, and she realized he had awakened a trait and chased after him.

After awakening his one-star Blue Silver Grass trait, Chu Ge told Xiao Yan about it and learned that she had awakened the three-star Enhancement trait. Xiao Yan also revealed that Chu Ge’s former fiancée, Lin Luyin, had awakened the four-star Evasion trait, and the chapter ended with Chu Ge activating his trait against Xiao Yan.

• Chu Ge claimed his trait had awakened late, and Xiao Yan believed him before jokingly accusing him of trying to seduce her with a drink.

• Xiao Yan told Chu Ge that Lin Luyin had awakened the four-star passive trait Evasion, and Chu Ge explained why its chance-based defense could be unreliable and dangerous.
• Xiao Yan lunged at Chu Ge after he teased her about her height, and Chu Ge activated Blue Silver Grass Entanglement to test his trait in combat.

Chu Ge tested his Blue Silver Grass Sequence on Xiao Yan, then learned more about his system’s sign-in, synthesis, and entry-equipping abilities. After cultivating through the night, he signed in when the daily attempt refreshed, leaving the result unknown.

• Chu Ge bound Xiao Yan with Blue Silver Grass after she attacked him, and she refused to thank him as he left her hanging.
• Chu Ge assessed their strengths and learned from his system that higher-star entries required higher realms, synthesis could fail, and each major breakthrough granted another entry slot.
• Chu Ge found Xiao Yan asleep in the vines and left her there while he cultivated with the Indestructible Golden Body technique.
• Chu Ge cultivated until midnight, when his sign-in attempts refreshed, and he chose to sign in.

After gaining the embarrassing Luo Sanpao entry, Chu Ge kept Blue Silver Grass and cultivated to the hundredth level of the Qi and Blood Realm. He ate breakfast with Xiao Yan, then went to the Chu Martial Arts School and refused Xiao Lan’s request to make her a permanent employee.

Chu Ge overheard Vice Headmaster Yang Kun asking Wang Jianguo for a competition slot for his son, then applied for one himself through the regular process. Wang Jianguo said the Chu Martial Arts School would choose its two representatives by strength, and Chu Ge left intending to test his combat ability and pursue the championship.

• Chu Ge recorded Yang Kun asking Wang Jianguo to help get his son a slot in the East Sea martial arts school competition.
• Yang Kun explained that the competition champion would win a Silver Weapon, while Wang Jianguo said the Chu Martial Arts School's two slots were still undecided.

• Chu Ge left the school, planning to test his strength against other hundredth-layer Qi and Blood Realm martial artists and try to win the championship.
• After midnight, Chu Ge sat cross-legged on his bed and called out, "Tatakai!" and "Sign in!"

Chu Ge synthesized his three traits into the two-star skill Iron Cavalry and looked forward to testing it at the next day's class placement exam. Lin Luyin also prepared for the exam, confident she would get revenge on Chu Ge for kicking her five times.

• Chu Ge learned that his new White Tiger Dagger trait was a physique, rejected the system's offer to replace Blue Silver Grass, and ordered the synthesis of his three traits.
• The synthesis succeeded, granting Chu Ge Iron Cavalry, which prevented a target within his attack range from evading; he equipped it.
• Chu Ge decided to wait until the class placement exam to test Iron Cavalry, hoping he would face Lin Luyin.
• At the Lin family estate, Lin Luyin finished the latest chapter of an adult comic, tipped its author Chu Xiao, and demanded an update.
• Lin Luyin remembered Chu Ge kicking her five times and vowed to kick him at least ten times during the next day's exam, trusting her Evasion trait.

Chu Ge won his first placement exam match by overwhelming Passerby A with a hundred layers of qi and blood and tearing apart his Blue Silver Grass. Afterward, he sent Xiao Yan to buy food, still wondering where she had spent all her money.

• A skinny student with fifty layers of qi and blood defeated a much larger opponent, while Chu Ge worried about conserving his limited Iron Cavalry uses for stronger opponents.
• Lin Luyin prepared to face Chu Ge and considered how her four-star Evasion could help her overcome his cultivation advantage, while Ye Weiyu asked her to spare him.
• Chu Ge revealed a hundred layers of qi and blood, then tore apart Passerby A's Blue Silver Grass until Passerby A ran out of elemental energy and surrendered.
• The proctor declared Chu Ge the winner, and the crowd applauded his decisive victory.
• Xiao Yan asked Chu Ge for money to buy food, and he sent her fifty yuan to bring him a hamburger and cola while she headed to the supermarket.

Lin Luyin and Chu Ge advanced through the class placement exam, while Xiao Yan bet Chu Ge would lose to Lin Luyin. The chapter ended with Lin Luyin and Chu Ge called to the stage for the final match.

• The proctor announced that Lin Luyin and Chu Ge would face each other in the final match.

Chu Ge defeated Lin Luyin in the freshman class placement final and took first place, then turned his brief speech into an advertisement for his family’s martial arts school. Lin Luyin blamed her loss on the gap in their cultivation and vowed to train harder so she could beat him next time.

• Chu Ge and Lin Luyin faced off in the final while the spectators, including Xiao Yan and Ye Weiyu, watched and chose sides.

Chu Ge attended Wu Xuzhou’s lesson on advancing to the Black Iron Realm and learned how martial artists could gain the power of the Three Aspects. He planned to seek the Sun Aspect’s acknowledgment and trusted his check-in system to help him surpass ordinary limits.

• Chu Ge checked in and obtained the one-star trait Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo, then decided to save it for synthesis.
• Wu Xuzhou taught Class One about the Black Iron Realm and explained how the sun, moon, and stars could grant powerful protections to those they acknowledged.
• Xiao Yan answered questions about advancing to Black Iron, while Chu Ge secretly trained with hand grippers at his desk.
• Wu Xuzhou explained that martial artists could try to communicate with the Three Aspects again at each major realm and could gain more than one aspect’s power.
• Chu Ge decided he would aim for the Sun Aspect, while reflecting that his check-in system might eventually help him obtain all three powers.

Chu Ge synthesized six one-star traits into two two-star traits, then combined those with his existing trait to obtain the three-star active skill Instant. He tested its escalating speed in Lakeside Park, discovered that sixteenfold speed could cut down a tree but nearly killed him, and went home after deciding to reserve it for emergencies.

• Chu Ge synthesized six one-star traits into Fierce and Feedback, then fused his three two-star traits into Instant.
• Chu Ge equipped Instant and tested it with his Tang saber at Lakeside Park, reaching twice, four times, and then eight times his normal speed.
• At sixteenfold speed, Chu Ge’s slash cut through a camphor tree, but the strain and Primordial Force consumption left him collapsing and badly exhausted.
• After recovering in the grass, Chu Ge decided that fourfold speed was suitable for ordinary fights, eightfold speed required caution, and sixteenfold speed should be reserved for life-or-death situations.
• Chu Ge limped home near dawn, returned his Tang saber, and fell asleep, aware that Instant could become far more powerful if his body and Primordial Force reserves improved.

Chu Ge recovered from exhausting his Primordial Force, paid compensation for a fallen tree, and entered the Chu Martial Arts School’s knockout tournament to claim one of its two competition spots. He defeated his first opponent with ease and waited for tougher matches.

• Xiao Yan woke Chu Ge and hurried to school while he stayed home to recover.
• Chu Ge paid the Lakeside Park staff five thousand yuan for the fallen camphor tree.
• Wang Jianguo explained that the last two contestants in the Chu Martial Arts School’s knockout tournament would represent the school.
• Chu Ge used [Instant] to defeat a tall, thin young man with ninety-nine layers of qi and blood, who conceded after Chu Ge wounded his wrist.
• Chu Ge rested and watched the remaining contestants, determined to secure a spot.

Chu Ge advanced through the Chu Martial Arts School tournament using his [Instant] trait and secured one of the school's two competition slots alongside Yang Wei. With Yang Wei eager to continue, Wang Jianguo asked Chu Ge whether they would fight to decide who ranked first.

• Chu Ge reassured Xiao Lan that her work was good and predicted the saber wielder would defeat the spear wielder, which happened as he described.
• Yang Wei won his match, and Chu Ge recalled that Yang Wei had awakened a powerful but underhanded trait.
• Chu Ge defeated a burly opponent with the [Fierce] trait by using [Instant] to outpace him and throw him from the arena.
• Chu Ge won his later matches, including one against an opponent who could create earth walls, and joined Yang Wei as the tournament's final two contestants.
• Yang Wei said he wanted to fight Chu Ge, and Wang Jianguo asked Chu Ge whether he agreed.

Chu Ge defeated Yang Wei in the Chu Martial Arts School selection by enduring his Poison Gas trait and striking with sixteenfold speed, then collapsed from exhaustion after getting home. He and Yang Wei were chosen to represent the school at the upcoming East Sea Martial Arts School Competition.

• Chu Ge and Yang Wei began their final selection match, and Chu Ge discovered that Yang Wei's three-star [Poison Gas] trait gradually paralyzed anyone who circulated Primordial Force.
• Yang Wei urged Chu Ge to admit defeat, but Chu Ge activated [Instant] and let its accelerating drain combine with the poison while he built up speed.
• Chu Ge reached sixteen times his normal speed and struck Yang Wei with his spear, knocking him out of the arena and winning the match.
• Wang Jianguo declared Chu Ge the winner and Yang Wei the runner-up, and named both to represent the Chu Martial Arts School at the East Sea Martial Arts School Competition.
• Chu Ge left the school, returned home, and collapsed at the door after concealing how badly the fight had exhausted him.

After recovering from the backlash, Chu Ge practiced his saber in Lakeside Park and encountered a demonic beast. He killed it and reported the breach to the Martial Arts Association.

• Chu Ge woke to find Xiao Yan asleep beside his bed, realized she had carried him there, and tucked her under the blanket.
• Chu Ge completed his daily check-in, received another piece of Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo, and left home to practice with his Tang saber.
• Chu Ge practiced cutting falling leaves in Lakeside Park until he heard a sharp cry from the nearby grass.
• A demonic beast ambushed Chu Ge, and he used [Instant] to cut it in two.
• Chu Ge called the East Sea City Martial Arts Association, reported the demonic beast, and gave his name as Chu Ge.

Chu Ge reported a Scarlet-Eyed Giant Rat in Lakeside Park to the Martial Arts Association and wondered whether it was connected to the beast tide from ten years ago. After returning home and walking to school with Xiao Yan, he remained worried that more rats might have entered the city, and the pair found a crowd gathered at the school notice board.

• Lin Yuliang and Lin Lan investigated the dead rat, recorded its details, and asked Chu Ge to keep quiet about the incident.
• Lin Yuliang told Chu Ge that the association did not yet know whether the rat was connected to the old beast tide, then brought him in for a statement.
• Chu Ge returned home at dawn, where Xiao Yan teased him about having passed out the previous day and he said he had fought someone.
• Chu Ge wondered how the rat had breached the city's defenses and whether more rats or the Rat King might be involved.
• Chu Ge and Xiao Yan arrived at school and saw a large crowd gathered around the notice board.

Chu Ge learned that Xu Junyuan would hold a concert at his school, while the Martial Arts Association investigated the Scarlet-Eyed Giant Rat’s unnatural power and possible connection to a beast tide from ten years earlier. The city remained outwardly peaceful as Chu Ge stayed alert and agreed to take Xiao Yan to the supermarket after class.

• Chu Ge recognized that Xu Junyuan’s upcoming concert was the event he had guessed about, and he considered whether it was connected to the Scarlet-Eyed Giant Rat.
• Lin Yuliang reviewed a report showing that an external berserk Primordial Force had raised the rat’s combat power, and he ordered a comparison with preserved samples from the beast tide ten years earlier.
• Lin Lan asked Lin Yuliang for time off to attend Xu Junyuan’s concert, but he refused because the association would need staff to maintain order during the holiday crowds.
• Chu Ge worried that another beast tide could endanger ordinary people and decided to remain cautious despite his own weakness.
• Xiao Yan invited Chu Ge to the supermarket for a grilled sausage, and he agreed to treat her while repaying her kindness.

Chu Ge returned to the Chu residence, where Chu Xuan offered him a rare Sun Stone for his future breakthrough, but Chu Ge refused for now. As the East Sea Martial Arts School Competition approached and demonic beast attacks intensified, Xiao Yan arrived at Chu Ge’s door with snacks on the eve of the competition.

• Chu Ge confirmed to Chu Xuan that he had killed the Scarlet-Eyed Giant Rat at Lakeside Park, and Chu Xuan told him the Martial Arts Association was handling the invasion.
• Chu Xuan offered Chu Ge a Sun Stone to use when breaking through to the Black Iron Realm, but Chu Ge declined and said he would try to comprehend the Power of the Three Aspects himself.
• Chu Xuan reminded Chu Ge to look after Xiao Yan and encouraged him to do his best in the East Sea Martial Arts School Competition.
• Chu Ge and Xiao Yan shared dinner at the estate, where Chu Ge said he believed he could reach the competition’s top three if he avoided carelessness.
• Over five days, Chu Ge collected enough Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo to synthesize two two-star traits as demonic beast attacks in East Sea City increased.
• On the evening before the East Sea Martial Arts School Competition, Xiao Yan knocked on Chu Ge’s door carrying a large bag of snacks.

Chu Ge and Xiao Yan went to Lakeside Park to hunt demonic beasts, where Xiao Yan killed a frenzied Scarlet-Eyed Giant Rat with her scythe. After a patrol officer warned Xiao Yan about the danger of provoking beasts, the pair were surrounded by a swarm of rats as a patrol squad rushed to help.

• Chu Ge and Xiao Yan reached Lakeside Park, where Lin Lan warned them to avoid secluded areas at night.
• Xiao Yan struggled to carry her heavy scythe until Chu Ge spotted a frenzied Scarlet-Eyed Giant Rat, which Xiao Yan provoked and killed in one strike.
• A patrol officer collected the rat and warned Xiao Yan that demonic beasts could attract more attackers; Chu Ge reminded her that her family would grieve if she died.
• Chu Ge and Xiao Yan heard more rats, then saw over a dozen frenzied Scarlet-Eyed Giant Rats emerge from the woods, led by one nearing the Black Iron Realm.
• As a patrol squad hurried toward them, the rats charged at Chu Ge and Xiao Yan.

Chu Ge and Xiao Yan fought off a pack of berserk Scarlet-Eyed Giant Rats before Lin Lan's patrol team saved them with a fireball and escorted them home. After checking in at midnight, Chu Ge received an unexpected reward as he worried that the beast tide from ten years ago might be returning.

• Chu Ge and Xiao Yan battled the charging Scarlet-Eyed Giant Rats until Chu Ge warned her to dive into the lake ahead of a fireball that destroyed the pack.
• Lin Lan arrived with her patrol team, checked that Chu Ge and Xiao Yan were safe, and arranged for Xiao Li to escort them home.
• Lin Lan privately asked Xiao Li to watch for signs of romance between the pair, and Xiao Li sent her a selfie with them in the background.
• Chu Ge took Xiao Yan home, then returned to his apartment and reflected on the growing number of Scarlet-Eyed Giant Rats and their unexplained berserk state.
• At midnight, Chu Ge checked in and was surprised by what the system gave him.
