Chapter Summaries

Li Zhexian awoke in a six-year-old body in the wilderness, where the Myriad Worlds Compensation Program sealed his Transcendent Divine Body behind a trillion-point shield that could only be reduced by taking attacks. After a beast’s strike earned him eighteen points of damage and a recovery pill, a white-haired old man killed the beast and questioned him about the power hidden in his body.

Chen Xin brought Li Zhexian to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after discovering that a golden shield inside him repelled Soul Power and that he wanted to get stronger by being hit. As Li Zhexian settled into the sect, a panel offered to connect him to its resource library.

• Chen Xin brought Li Zhexian into the sect and said he would live there and undergo Martial Soul Awakening the next day.
• That night, Li Zhexian's panel detected a bindable organization and asked whether to connect to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's resource library.

Li Zhexian connected to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's resource database and awakened the Azure Lotus Sword with Innate Full Soul Power. He accepted an engagement to Ning Rongrong in exchange for meals and candy, then noticed a mysterious response between her jade pendant and his sword.

Li Zhexian struggled to learn swordsmanship and draw out his Soul Power, then found an old saying about cultivating wine and sword together. After his system advised him to seek external stimulation, he noticed a passing disciple’s sword and went to the window, where the disciple called out to him.

• Chen Xin taught Li Zhexian the basic sword thrust, but Li Zhexian remained slow and inaccurate.
• Chen Xin discovered a golden shield in Li Zhexian’s chest blocking his Soul Power and told him to practice swordsmanship and meditate without rushing.

• After the system advised Li Zhexian to seek external stimulation, he noticed a patrolling disciple’s sword and went to the window, prompting the disciple to call out.

Li Zhexian spent years training under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s care, but his Soul Power remained stuck at level ten. He learned that a system shield suppressed nearly all his natural growth, while the sect’s elders questioned his potential and Ning Fengzhi remained silent about whether he believed in him.

• Chen Xin trained Li Zhexian in sword defense, while Ning Rongrong supported him and advanced to level twelve and then level seventeen as Li remained at level ten.
• Li Zhexian endured medicinal baths, combat practice, and Soul Beast blood tempering, but none of it increased his Soul Power.

• Ning Fengzhi’s elders debated whether Li Zhexian deserved continued resources, but Chen Xin defended him and Ning Fengzhi agreed not to cut off his support.
• Disciples mocked Li Zhexian as a level-ten genius, and Ning Rongrong defended him before asking Ning Fengzhi whether he thought Li was trash; Ning Fengzhi stayed silent.

Six years after Ning Fengzhi told Ning Rongrong that her childhood engagement to Li Zhexian depended on their future choices, Ning Rongrong had advanced to level twenty-six while Li Zhexian remained stuck at level ten. After Li Zhexian avoided explaining his feelings and Ning Rongrong left in frustration, his system advised him to find a powerful attacker, and he challenged the sect disciples before Shi Potian agreed to fight him the next day.

• Ning Fengzhi told Ning Rongrong the sect would not expel Li Zhexian and that their childhood engagement depended on what they both wanted and achieved.
• Six years later, Ning Rongrong had reached level twenty-six, while Li Zhexian remained at level ten despite improving his swordsmanship.
• Ning Rongrong defended Li Zhexian to an elder and later confronted him about their engagement, but Li Zhexian told her to keep walking her own path and would not explain further.
• Ning Rongrong left Li Zhexian's residence, and Li Zhexian saw a system message advising him to find a powerful attacker to suppress his shield.
• Li Zhexian asked the disciples at the training ground to hit him, but they made excuses and left.
• Shi Potian insulted Li Zhexian and Ning Rongrong, then agreed to face him in the arena the next day.

Li Zhexian let Shi Potian attack him to test his shield and the rewards it produced, then drew the Azure Lotus Sword and defeated him. As Li Zhexian left the arena, his panel detected a target for a continuous-attack damage log.

• Li Zhexian challenged level-twenty-one Shi Potian to fight at the training ground, and Ning Rongrong tried to dissuade him.
• Shi Potian struck Li Zhexian repeatedly while Li checked his shield and collected light balls, but the prize pool quality stopped rising.

• Chen Xin stopped Shi Potian from attacking again, and Shi Potian admitted defeat.
• Ning Fengzhi ordered Shi Potian to repair the broken pillar, and Li confirmed a prompt to create a damage log.

After defeating Shi Potian, Li Zhexian faced criticism over his low Soul Power and a strained apology from Ning Rongrong, while Ning Fengzhi offered a physician. Li Zhexian discovered his system shield suppressed nearly all Soul Power growth and decided he needed a Titled Douluo to break it, just as Shi Potian warned him that Ning Rongrong would end their engagement the next day.

• Li Zhexian dismissed criticism of his level-ten Soul Power and told Ning Rongrong he could not keep up with her after she apologized for doubting him.
• Chen Xin tested Li Zhexian with Sword Qi and saw the golden shield in his chest repel it.
• Ning Fengzhi offered Li Zhexian a physician, but Li Zhexian refused and said nothing could get past the shield inside him.
• Li Zhexian confirmed that the shield suppressed 97 percent of his Soul Power growth and calculated that ordinary attacks would take over seventy thousand years to break it.
• Li Zhexian decided he needed a Titled Douluo, then Shi Potian arrived and told him Ning Rongrong would break off their engagement the next day.

As the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect pressured Li Zhexian to leave and end his engagement to Ning Rongrong, he waited to hear her decision from her directly. Ning Rongrong came to the lakeside that night and told him, “let's end our engagement here.”

• Shi Potian threatened Li Zhexian and demanded that he leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after the engagement was broken off.
• Chen Xin drove Shi Potian away and reassured Li Zhexian, who said he would accept Ning Rongrong's choice if she wanted to end the engagement.
• The elders pressured Ning Rongrong to break off the engagement and consider Shi Potian instead, but she rejected their attempts to decide for her.
• Shi Potian brought Ning Rongrong a white jade hairpin, but she ordered him out and reminded him that Li Zhexian had defeated him.
• Ning Rongrong asked Ning Fengzhi whether he wanted the engagement ended, then decided to speak with Li Zhexian herself.
• Ning Rongrong visited Li Zhexian by the lake and told him to end their engagement.

Ning Rongrong ended her engagement to Li Zhexian, citing their difference in Soul Power and her desire to move forward, while he calmly returned her pendant and let her leave. As Li Zhexian reached the courtyard gate, his panel urged him to receive an external attack, and someone outside began clapping.

• Ning Rongrong told Li Zhexian that the engagement was no longer suitable because she had reached level twenty-six while he remained at level ten.

• Chen Xin challenged Ning Fengzhi for allowing Li Zhexian to be let go, while Ning Fengzhi acknowledged the pressure from the sect elders.
• Li Zhexian left the fire as his panel urged him to receive an external attack, then opened the courtyard gate to the sound of clapping.

Shi Potian confronted Li Zhexian over his place in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but Li Zhexian used Shi Potian’s attacks to obtain rewards from his system. The chapter ended as Shi Potian unleashed his first Soul Skill at Li Zhexian.

• Shi Potian taunted Li Zhexian about Ning Rongrong ending their engagement and demanded that he leave the sect, while Li Zhexian insisted he had the right to stay.
• Shi Potian shoved Li Zhexian into the courtyard gate, triggering his shield and causing a bottle of Soul Power Tempering Liquid to appear as a reward.
• Shi Potian punched Li Zhexian again, and Li Zhexian collected a second reward bottle and urged him to keep attacking.
• Shi Potian summoned his Rock Armor Bear and prepared a Soul Skill as the watching disciples argued over whether to fetch an elder.
• Shi Potian used his first Soul Skill, Rock Bear Heavy Strike, and sent the Rock Armor Bear’s fist crashing toward Li Zhexian.

Li Zhexian let Shi Potian repeatedly hit him, collecting rewards from the blue lights that appeared after each blow, before defeating him when his Soul Skill failed. After Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi intervened, Li Zhexian stayed in the sect and discovered that the Soul Power Tempering Liquid could weaken the seal suppressing him.

• Li Zhexian endured Shi Potian's punches and Soul Skills, collecting pills, Soul Power Tempering Liquid, and copies of the Low-Rank Sword Qi Condensation Method from the blue lights.
• After Shi Potian exhausted his Soul Power, Li Zhexian deflected his next attack with the Azure Lotus Sword and knocked him to his knees.
• Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi arrived, and Ning Fengzhi ordered Shi Potian to pay for the damaged wall and water jar.
• Li Zhexian rejected Ning Fengzhi's suggestion that he leave the sect and said Rongrong's distress was her own business.
• Li Zhexian opened a bottle of Soul Power Tempering Liquid and learned it could temporarily reduce the seal's suppression rate by 5 percent.

Li Zhexian drank the Soul Power Tempering Liquid, briefly eased the seal’s suppression, and nearly broke through to level eleven before the attempt failed. With his Soul Power circulating again, he set out to practice swordsmanship while the medicine still worked.

• Li Zhexian drank the Tempering Liquid, lowering the seal’s suppression rate to 92 percent and restoring the flow of his Soul Power.
• Li Zhexian struck the level-eleven bottleneck twice; the second attempt cracked it, but he remained at the peak of level ten.
• Li Zhexian recorded what he had learned about the medicine and the barrier.
• Chen Xin examined Li Zhexian, questioned him about Shi Potian’s dropped rewards, and warned him not to risk himself again.
• Li Zhexian took his Azure Lotus Sword and left to borrow wine from the kitchen so he could practice swordsmanship before the medicine wore off.

Li Zhexian stole a jar of wine reserved for Titled Douluo and drank it on the back mountain, where its effects stirred his Soul Power and revealed traces of a Second Martial Soul. As Sword Elder approached, an unknown Martial Soul began awakening behind the waterfall.

• Li Zhexian evaded the disciple on night duty and carried the sect master's sealed wine to the back mountain.
• Li Zhexian drank the wine, tested his sword, and saw a message that his Azure Lotus Sword Martial Soul was resonating abnormally and traces of a Second Martial Soul had been detected.
• Li Zhexian recited poems and swung his sword, cutting through the waterfall to reveal a smooth stone wall and hear a mysterious sound within his chest.
• Li Zhexian saw an ancient wine pot appear behind the rock wall before it vanished, while red text reported that an unknown Martial Soul was awakening.
• A disciple warned Li Zhexian that Sword Elder was coming, and Li Zhexian hugged the wine jar and urged the unknown Martial Soul to awaken quickly.

Li Zhexian brought Ning Rongrong’s father’s wine to the back mountain, where sword practice awakened his Drunken Immortal Wine Pot and sent his Soul Power surging from rank ten to the peak of rank twenty. Chen Xin arrived and discovered the new Martial Soul, while a message in Li Zhexian’s sea of consciousness revealed that another stage of resonance awaited after he obtained a Second Soul Ring.

• Li Zhexian practiced with the Azure Lotus Sword while carrying the wine jar, and Ning Rongrong confronted him after his strikes cut the waterfall and rock wall.
• Li Zhexian awakened the Drunken Immortal Wine Pot, and its resonance with the Azure Lotus Sword helped raise his Soul Power to rank thirteen as the suppression in his chest weakened.
• The panel revealed high-strength chains deep within Li Zhexian’s shield seal, and Li Zhexian mentioned a blacksmith in the mountain before Chen Xin arrived.
• Chen Xin checked Li Zhexian’s meridians, triggering a surge that raised his Soul Power from rank thirteen to the peak of rank twenty.
• The wine jar cracked and the Drunken Immortal Wine Pot faded, while the panel stated that Twin Resonance would enter its next stage after Li Zhexian obtained the Second Soul Ring.

Li Zhexian pushed past level twenty despite Ning Rongrong’s and Chen Xin’s attempts to stop him, triggering a surge of power that left him collapsed on the rear mountain. His Soul Power reached the barrier’s limit, but the secrets of his body and Second Martial Soul remained unresolved.

• Ning Rongrong tried to stop Li Zhexian from drinking more wine and training, but he continued despite his injuries and the broken sword path.
• Chen Xin arrived, blocked the sect’s disciples, and agreed to guard Li Zhexian for half an hour while he made one final attempt.
• Li Zhexian used the last wine mist and his Soul Power to break through the seal’s suppression, sending cyan Sword Qi across the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Li Zhexian cracked the level-twenty barrier, then collapsed as the Drunken Immortal Wine Pot turned into wine mist and entered his body.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Chen Xin what kind of child he had brought back from the wilderness.

After Ning Fengzhi forbade the sect from treating Li Zhexian as a resource or sending him to Spirit Hall, Li Zhexian decided to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He said goodbye to Ning Rongrong, accepted her jade pendant, and began writing a letter to Uncle Jian before departing.

• Chen Xin defended Li Zhexian from the elders, while Ning Fengzhi ordered the sect not to investigate him by force or send him to Spirit Hall.
• Ning Fengzhi declared that Li Zhexian remained a sect disciple, banned anyone from treating him as a resource, and ordered the rear mountain guards changed and the incident kept secret.
• After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Li Zhexian went to Ning Rongrong's courtyard and told her he planned to leave to seek people who could help him reduce the golden shield over his chest.
• Ning Rongrong pressed her jade pendant into Li Zhexian's hand and urged him to find a suitable Soul Ring and return alive.
• Li Zhexian returned to his room and began writing a letter to Uncle Jian, insisting to himself that it was not a farewell letter.

Li Zhexian prepared to leave the sect and seek stronger attackers to test and wear down his shield, while leaving Chen Xin a letter explaining his decision. As he slipped out with the pass token Chen Xin had arranged, Shi Potian confronted him at the courtyard gate.

• Li Zhexian reviewed his damage records and system notes, then decided to stop using Shi Potian for tests and crossed out Chen Xin as a target because he could not make Sword Douluo attack him.
• Li Zhexian found a pass token and two copper coins outside his courtyard, with directions to a gray carriage at Heaven Dou City's north gate.
• Li Zhexian packed his sword, wine, medicine, and other supplies, then wrote Chen Xin a letter saying he was leaving to find a way to wear down his shield and that neither Chen Xin nor Ning Rongrong owed him anything.
• Li Zhexian left his sword tassel on the letter and set out for Heaven Dou City with the pass token.
• As Li Zhexian opened the courtyard door to leave, Shi Potian roared that Li Zhexian would not leave the sect alive.

Shi Potian confronted Li Zhexian over the spirit wine and his second Martial Soul, demanding that he kneel and leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After Li Zhexian defeated him again, Shi Potian threatened to report his Twin Martial Souls to Spirit Hall.

• Shi Potian blocked Li Zhexian’s courtyard with five disciples and demanded that he hand over the wine gourd, confess, and leave the sect.
• Shi Potian attacked Li Zhexian, who blocked his blows and let the damage build while the same attacker’s attacks yielded diminishing value.
• Li Zhexian revealed his second Martial Soul, a green wine gourd, and Shi Potian abandoned his earlier demands to focus on defeating him.
• Shi Potian charged again, but Li Zhexian deflected his attacks and struck back with the Azure Lotus Sword, breaking his rock armor and knocking him down.
• Shi Potian pointed at Li Zhexian and vowed to tell Spirit Hall about his Twin Martial Souls.

After Spirit Hall learned that Li Zhexian had Twin Martial Souls, he decided to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect rather than put its members at risk. As Ning Rongrong helped him prepare to go, Chen Xin intercepted a Spirit Hall spy carrying Li Zhexian’s portrait, but the man died before revealing who sent him.

• Shi Potian recovered enough to leave and threatened to report Li Zhexian’s Twin Martial Souls to Spirit Hall, while Li Zhexian’s system noted an enhanced damage-taking effect.
• Ning Fengzhi confirmed Li Zhexian’s second Martial Soul and showed him Spirit Hall’s order to investigate him and bring him back alive if possible.
• Li Zhexian decided to leave the sect to seek wine and strong opponents, despite Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong urging caution.
• Ning Rongrong packed Li Zhexian’s supplies and gave him a communication jade pendant so he could contact the sect.
• After the third watch, Chen Xin stopped a man in black near the sect and found a scroll identifying Li Zhexian as Spirit Hall’s target; the spy died before finishing his explanation.
