Chapter Summaries

On his sixteenth birthday, Jiang Zhe’s Psychic Master Talent appeared to awaken, but an ancient Stone Sphere in his Sea of Consciousness devoured his psychic energy and merged with his soul. After waking, he discovered the sphere inside his body and realized it might be an Original Core whose Inner World held a tree he was meant to chop down.

• Jiang Zhe’s assessment showed he was nearly an Advanced Student, but his heartbeat surged and he collapsed in agony as his Psychic Power began to awaken.
• Inside Jiang Zhe’s Sea of Consciousness, the Stone Sphere consumed his scattered psychic energy and absorbed the golden sphere representing his talent.

• Jiang Zhe failed to sense or use Psychic Power but discovered the Stone Sphere inside his body and suspected that the strange world was the Inner World within his Original Core.

Jiang Zhe discovered that his Inner World contained a secret art called the Golden Human Life Blueprint, which could increase his Life Gene Level and pass a new bloodline to his descendants. After learning that entering the Inner World exposed his Original Core to danger, he decided to train until he could cultivate the Blueprint’s first diagram.

Jiang Zhe demonstrated a new force-generation technique that multiplied his punching force sevenfold, leaving the family excited by the prospect of an Ultimate Secret Manual.

• Jiang Zhe hunted monsters and cultivated over the following days, mastered the Dragon and Tiger force amplification techniques, and raised his force multiplier to tenfold.
• Grandpa urged Jiang Zhe to find his own form and intent, and Jiang Zhe began learning spear techniques by crushing scattered soybeans with his spear tip.

Jiang Zhe rapidly perfected his spearwork through rigorous training and real battles, then broke through to Junior Battle General. The old man began the next spear-training challenge, and the two set out for dangerous City No. 009 so Jiang Zhe could face Lord-Tier monsters.

• Jiang Zhe trained to pierce soybeans with a spear, then used newly learned spearwork and agile movement to fight monsters without a shield.
• Over nine days, Jiang Zhe improved his spearwork and combat ability, but the old man warned that his weak defense made Lord-Tier monsters too dangerous for him.

• Jiang Zhe cultivated to Apprentice Rank 4 and advanced to Junior Battle General, while his Psychic Master cultivation reached Apprentice Rank 6.
• On the tenth day, Jiang Zhe and the old man set out for dangerous City No. 009 near the Tai River Estuary.

Jiang Zhe trained his spear skills at a waterfall in the Taiyi Mountain Range, then challenged a Junior Lord Golden-Fur Ape and survived by using Psychic Power and throwing knives. After realizing his Physical Quality could not withstand a Lord-Tier monster’s force, he accepted that he needed to focus on spear training and safer opponents.

• Jiang Zhe used Psychic Power to evade the ape and guide six throwing knives into its wounds, killing it.
• Jiang Zhe recognized that his Physical Quality made him a glass cannon and decided to focus on spear training instead of risking more fights against Lord-Tier monsters.

Jiang Zhe perfected his spearwork and movement technique through days of training, then unexpectedly grasped a fast-slow Artistic Conception while watching his grandfather demonstrate a Realm-Level Spear Technique. He named it the Time Realm, though he retained only its fast aspect and needed to recover the rest.

• Jiang Zhe overheard Jiang Chengbai and his grandfather discuss his strength and the Lord-Tier Golden-Fur Ape he had killed, then resumed cultivating while considering how to use his force amplification safely.
• Jiang Zhe sparred with Jiang Chengbai and was repeatedly overwhelmed by the Seven Coiling Serpent Lance, while learning from its offense and defense and training his spearwork at the waterfall.
• After ten days of intensive practice, Jiang Zhe pierced through Jiang Chengbai’s defenses and stopped his spear a centimeter from his brow, having perfected his spearwork and mastered a Perfect Level Movement Technique.
• Jiang Chengbai demonstrated his Realm-Level Spear Technique, and Jiang Zhe’s grandfather followed with a Stabbing Spear that revealed a similar Artistic Conception.
• A droplet disrupted the grandfather’s demonstration, and Jiang Zhe instinctively reproduced its fast-slow rhythm with his own spear, drawing blood from his grandfather’s brow before the old man caught the strike.
• Jiang Zhe could reproduce only the fast half of the Artistic Conception, so he resolved to recover the missing sensation and named the technique the Time Realm.

Jiang Zhe abandoned trying to recreate the fusion of fast and slow and requested recordings of wind, lightning, and light Artistic Conceptions to develop his speed-focused spear technique. As he studied the recordings, Wang Li arranged a plot against him, while the chapter ended with Jiang Chengbai proposing a Lord-Tier monster for training and the old man warning that its Sonic Attacks could endanger Jiang Zhe.

• Jiang Zhe accepted that he could not recover the fusion of fast and slow, then trained to refine his fast Artistic Conception.

• Venina and Li Yao discussed Jiang Zhe's talent with other War Gods, while Hong and Thunder God sent recordings and Thunder God hoped Jiang Zhe might become his disciple.
• Wang Li offered a treasure to secure the help of two War Gods in killing Jiang Zhe, and his associate arranged a separate exchange involving the treasure and an African production line.
• Jiang Zhe began studying 106 recordings as Jiang Chengbai suggested training him against the Kui-Niu King's sea cattle near Huang County, but the old man objected because they used Sonic Attacks.

Jiang Zhe received the Black God Set and continued developing his speed-based spear and movement techniques as his family prepared for his challenges against Lord-Tier monsters. The chapter ended with a group of Black men in City 009 learning his party had changed destinations and setting out to intercept them.

• Jiang Chengbai asked the old man to lend Jiang Zhe the Black God Set, and the old man urged Jiang Chengbai to break through to Councilor Level while entrusting him with the Alchemy Furnace.
• The old man watched Jiang Zhe develop Artistic Conceptions centered on speed and begin training a Realm-Level Movement Technique, then considered seeking resources to support his grandson.
• Jiang Chengbai returned as a Councilor Level expert and demonstrated his Azure Dragon God Armor special ability.
• The old man gave Jiang Zhe the Black God Set, which bonded to him and transformed into different outfits; Jiang Zhe agreed to retrieve another set from an Ancient Civilization Ruin after reaching War God Level.
• On the twenty-third day of wilderness cultivation, Jiang Zhe, Jiang Lie, and Jiang Chengbai headed toward City 079 to seek Lord-Tier monsters for Jiang Zhe's Life Blueprint cultivation.
• A team of Black men in City 009 learned that Jiang Zhe's group was heading toward Cities 077, 078, and 079, and their deputy commander ordered them southeast to pursue the group.
