• Ma Xiaotao washed Wang Dong'er's feet, endured her teasing, and remained bound to serve as her maid for a year.
• Wang Yan explained that students needed Soul Power Level 20 and two soul rings to advance, while a class assessment could also eliminate students if selected classmates failed their task.
