Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu left Shi Yuehan in his new post as a security guard, while Xia Fan arrived at Tianhuang Martial Arts University under escort to meet them. Xia Fan spotted Shi Yuehan in the booth by the south gate and realized the old man was there too.

• Xia Fan saw Shi Yuehan sitting in the security booth and watched him tap the back of his head.

Jiang Fu publicly called Xia Fan the principal of Tianhuang Martial Arts University, then used his rapid-fire praise to present Lu Yuanchen, Long Qiancheng, and Yu Liuli as Xia Fan’s subordinates. The authorities’ plans to use Shi Yuehan to rein in Jiang Fu backfired, and the blame for the university’s takeover shifted onto the officials.

• Shi Jiu corrected Jiang Fu by calling the university Xia Fan’s, and Jiang Fu declared Xia Fan its principal as the three officials realized the blame had been shifted onto them.

At Tianhuang Martial Arts University, Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu’s words led everyone to believe that the Authorities’ Silver Coin Group had orchestrated the university’s acquisition and used the two children as scapegoats. Lu Yuanchen, Long Qiancheng, and Yu Liuli accepted the blame in exchange for Abyss Potion, while Shi Yuehan prepared to enforce his own rules.

• Yu Liuli received twenty jars of passion fruit Abyss Potion, and Jiang Fu gave Long Qiancheng twenty jars of apple flavor.
• Long Qiancheng and the others urged Lu Yuanchen to sign, while Su Yu suggested they could claim Lingyue Pavilion had killed him if he refused.

• Lu Yuanchen abandoned his attempt to set conditions and read the Sequence Contract, which only required him to join the Bearded Pirate Group and choose a beard color.
• Lu Yuanchen signed the Contract and asked to meet the real figure behind the Bearded Pirate Group, naming Shi Yuehan and the Sword God as possibilities.

Lu Yuanchen joined the Bearded Pirate Group as Underworld Grape Purple and discovered its members possessed powerful Sequence Items and God Grade Invisibility Talismans. The group then turned to deciding whether Xia Fan should become Principal of Tianhuang Martial Arts University, with Xia Yuncang and Shi Si doubting his reliability.

Lu Yuanchen and the Bearded Pirates paused their plans against Lingyue Pavilion to feast on Jiang Fu’s cooking, then proposed making the meals a regular event. Meanwhile, Tianhuang Martial Arts University’s leaders plotted to pressure Jiang Fu through his family, leaving the Jiang Family in danger again.

• Lu Yuanchen urged the group to act quickly against Lingyue Pavilion, but Lin Que suggested eating first, and Jiang Fu agreed to cook.
• Jiang Fu used his Psychic Power to prepare more than a hundred dishes, and the Bearded Pirates eagerly swept through the meal with flying chopsticks.

• At Tianhuang Martial Arts University, Huyan Lie and Mo Yankong debated whether the leaders should surrender or resist the Authorities.
• Ou Zongyang proposed dealing with Jiang Fu by exploiting his ties to the Imperial Capital Jiang Family.

• At Tianhuang Martial Arts University, Ou Zongyang and the others decided Xia Fan was easier to control than Shi Yuehan, while Mo Yankong warned them not to underestimate Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu.

• Shi Yuehan hid Xia Fan under the desk, used the Reality Sequence to take his appearance, and headed toward Mo Yankong, intending to kill people and frame Xia Fan.

Shi Yuehan confronted Mo Yankong in a nightmare-like vision of the valley where he had been trapped for eighteen years, revealing his anger over the deaths of his loved ones and the Wind Feather Laboratory researchers. He strangled Mo Yankong to death in the vice principal’s office as dawn broke.

• Mo Yankong dismissed Xia Fan’s appointment as principal and worried that the Authorities would take control of Tianhuang Martial Arts University.
• Shi Yuehan entered Mo Yankong’s office, revealed his true identity, and trapped him in a vision of the valley where he had first met Ning Ranxin.

• Shi Yuehan seized Mo Yankong by the throat and slowly strangled him as the valley vision gave way to the office.
• Mo Yankong died in Shi Yuehan’s grasp as dawn began to break.

Shi Yuehan killed Mo Yankong, then used Xia Fan’s likeness to leave surveillance evidence that framed Xia Fan and triggered panic at Tianhuang Martial Arts University. Meanwhile, Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu took Xia Fan to Li Country to awaken his Sequence while their allies prepared a scheme involving Sequence:001, Li Country, and Lingyue Pavilion.

• Shi Yuehan strangled Mo Yankong, changed into Xia Fan’s likeness, and left the Vice Principal’s office under the school’s surveillance cameras.
• Tianhuang Martial Arts University’s staff and leaders panicked after discovering Mo Yankong had been strangled, while Xia Fan woke in the Principal’s office believing he had dreamed of Shi Yuehan.

Lu Yuanchen and Wen Shuhe led a large force into Jincheng to avenge Ninghai City's destruction by infiltrating the Lingyue Pavilion Research Institute. The group reached the institute to arrange Xia Fan’s Sequence Opening Ceremony, while the operation’s true purpose remained hidden from Li Country.

• Wen Shuhe used Wanqi Xiu’s written orders to mobilize more than ten thousand people in Jincheng and lead them toward the Lingyue Pavilion Research Institute.
• Lu Yuanchen recalled that a Li Country spy had sabotaged Ninghai City’s defenses forty years earlier, killing his family and clan, and resolved to pursue revenge.

• The group arrived at the institute, where middle-ranking officials agreed to provide resources and an enclosed area for Xia Fan’s Sequence Opening Ceremony.

During Xia Fan’s Sequence Opening Ceremony, Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu secretly opened Sequences of their own. Shi Jiu gained the God Sequence Time Overlord, while Jiang Fu discovered his Sequence was Feng Shui Master and prepared to Multiply by Ten.

• Xia Fan began the Sequence Opening Ceremony at Lingyue Pavilion with Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu beside him.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu secretly joined the ceremony, and Jiang Fu used Multiply by Ten to boost their chances of opening powerful Sequences.

• Jiang Fu learned that his Sequence was Feng Shui Master and decided to Multiply by Ten to see what it did.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu discovered that their God Sequences displayed unexplained Sequence numbers, while Sequence:001 erupted into violence at the Lingyue Pavilion Research Institute. Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu slipped deeper into the institute, leaving newly awakened Xia Fan behind as the chaos spread.

• Jiang Fu saw Sequence 6 on his Feng Shui Master screen, and Shi Jiu showed him her Hell Sequence with Sequence 2.
• Sequence:001 demanded that Xia Fan sign three Sequence Contracts, then attacked a hidden Lingyue Pavilion Heavenly Being and killed him with three palm strikes.

• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu knocked out and took the eighteen Sequence Martial Artists, then vanished deeper into the institute as Sequence:001 charged after them.
• Xia Fan remained behind, bewildered that Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu had left without asking which Sequence he had awakened.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu raided Lingyue Pavilion’s research institute while Sequence:001 rampaged, then staged a conspicuous Sequence laboratory to make Lingyue Pavilion appear responsible. The chapter ended with Xia Yuncang and the others loudly exposing the staged research as a frame-up.

• Sequence:001 charged through Lingyue Pavilion’s research institute as Li Country Martial Artists joined the battle and discovered that their Sequence defenses could hurt him.

• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu used their abilities to collect research, supplies, and researchers while the raid spread chaos through Jin City.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu set up a laboratory with Sequence research and blood, intending for Lingyue Pavilion to find it and take the blame.

Sequence:001 and Li Country’s forces fought over a crude laboratory containing Sequence research, while Lingyue Pavilion tried to destroy it and killed the officials carrying Wanqi Xiu’s order. In a sealed space, Xia Yuncang found Xia Fan hiding and scolded him for being cowardly.

• Xia Fan hid in the sealed space, and Xia Yuncang grabbed him and berated him for being cowardly.

After escaping Jincheng, Xia Fan worried that Li Country would uncover their scheme, so the others asked Shen Yan for advice and used his plans to expose Xia Fan’s unreliability. Back on Moyuan Island, Shi Jiu relayed Shen Yan’s strategies for exploiting Wanqi Xiu’s identity and turning Li Country against Lingyue Pavilion.

• Xia Fan warned Xia Yuncang that Li Country might investigate their actions and turn Wanqi Xiu’s written order against them, but Xia Yuncang pointed out that they had used the identities of kidnapped officials.
• Xue Qianlan suggested asking Shen Yan for advice, and Xia Fan sent him a message despite Shen Yan being in the hospital.
• The group returned to Moyuan Island, where Lu Yuanchen was stunned by the Abyss Potion Lake and agreed to discuss the next part of their plan.
• Shen Yan sent Xia Fan an angry voice message, and Shi Jiu explained that he had also sent two plans in encrypted code.
• Shi Jiu proposed infiltrating Li Country as Wanqi Xiu or rallying its martial artists against Lingyue Pavilion, while Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu agreed to prepare for the possibility that Li Country already knew about Wanqi Xiu’s trip to Zhenlong Island.
