Chapter 187: with translation of chapter title

Translate: Yang Zhu just broke through the Immortal Platform, really wanting to find some people to practice on, and also using this battle as a deterrent before leaving the Northern Dipper.

We need to keep same meaning, not add. Let's produce: "Yang Zhu had just broken through the Immortal Platform; he really wanted to find some people to practice on, and also, by relying on this battle, to serve as a deterrent before leaving the Northern Dipper."

The translation notes confirm that "had just" means just broke through, "really wanted" means really wanted, "to find some people to practice on" means to find some people to practice on, and "and also, by relying on this battle, to serve as a deterrent before leaving the Northern Dipper." means and also, by relying on this battle, to serve as a deterrent before leaving the Northern Dipper. Everything looks correct.
