**Phantom-Walking (穿墙术):** This isn't your average xianxia teleportation skill. In the Dao-Twisted World, abilities don't come clean. Li Huowang's new power is a grim inheritance from Danyangzi's alchemical feast—a parasitic ability that lets him hide his physical body in walls while his phantom roams. No golden light or mystic chants here; just a creepy, gradual sinking into solid matter. It's a power born from corruption, and it feels exactly like that.

**Phantom-Walking (穿墙术):** This isn't your average xianxia teleportation skill. In the Dao-Twisted World, abilities don't come clean. Li Huowang's new power is a grim inheritance from Danyangzi's alchemical feast—a parasitic ability that lets him hide his physical body in walls while his phantom roams. No golden light or mystic chants here; just a creepy, gradual sinking into solid matter. It's a power born from corruption, and it feels exactly like that.
Well, well—Li Huowang finally catches a break! After all that high-octane horror, our favorite mentally-compromised Daoist gets to do something refreshingly simple: rob a family of con artists blind. That's right, this chapter is a heist comedy nestled inside a cosmic horror novel. Watch as Li Huowang uses his shiny new phantom-walking ability—acquired from Danyangzi's corpse, of all things—to phase through walls and clean out a nest of professional liars. It's a palate cleanser of a chapter, but don't let the lighter tone fool you: the seeds of the next disaster are already being planted between the lines. And that book he snags? Let's just say it's going to hit a little too close to home.
Okay, let's talk about that monk, shall we? That old nag who pops up every time Li Huowang is about to do something morally dicey? The sudden reappearance of the "moralizing hallucination-monk" is a crucial mental health barometer. He's not a ghost; he's Li Huowang's conscience, forced into a separate character by the sheer strain of the trauma he's endured. The monk's pleas aren't divine intervention—they're the last shred of Li Huowang's own decency trying to talk him down from becoming Danyangzi 2.0. Pay close attention to *when* this voice appears and *when* it stays silent. Its presence means Li Huowang is still fighting. Its absence would mean something far, far worse.
