Chapter Summaries

Wu Tong asked Ning Zhongze to handle exchanging Duan Yanqing and Ye Erniang for resources, but she feared Mount Hua Sect lacked the strength to face Shaolin and Dali. He supplied the sect with powerful weapons and three Jade Talismans to help ensure the transaction succeeded.

• Ning Zhongze told Wu Tong that Duan Yanqing and Ye Erniang were imprisoned and guarded by Shi Daizi after Wu Tong crippled their cultivation.
• Wu Tong asked Ning Zhongze to arrange a resource exchange for the two prisoners because his mission would end in a few hours.
• Ning Zhongze objected that Mount Hua Sect could not withstand the strength of Shaolin and Dali.
• Wu Tong reassured Ning Zhongze that he would provide weapons and Jade Talismans to support the transaction.
• Wu Tong unloaded a huge pile of powerful weapons and set three Jade Talismans on the table, frightening everyone present.

Wu Tong offered the Mount Hua Sect weapons and Jade Talismans in exchange for using Ye Erniang and Duan Yanqing to secure a trade, and revealed that his power and the talismans could destroy a planet. Yue Buqun accepted the commission, convinced the weapons would give Mount Hua the leverage it needed against Dali and Shaolin Temple.

• Ning Zhongze asked Wu Tong how powerful his weapons and three Jade Talismans were, and he offered to provide information about the weapons.
• Wu Tong claimed his weakest grenade could destroy a mountaintop and that a casual strike from him could destroy a planet, while the talismans could adjust their power or unleash a world-shaking attack.
• Yue Buqun agreed to Wu Tong's commission before Ning Zhongze could respond, then eyed the weapons and talismans eagerly.
• Yue Buqun reasoned that possessing the weapons would give Mount Hua enough strength to negotiate over the secret of Ye Erniang and Duan Yanqing with Dali and Shaolin Temple.

Wu Tong and Yue Buqun completed a deal that would let Yue Buqun use the weapons and secrets at his disposal to gain benefits for the Mount Hua Sect. After the mission ended and Wu Tong returned to Douluo Continent, he asked Soul Net to prepare one hundred subsystems for distribution.

• Yue Buqun agreed to Wu Tong's commission, expecting to use the weapons and the secrets of Ye Erniang and Duan Yanqing to secure benefits from Dali and Shaolin.
• A three-minute countdown appeared, and the group members said their farewells before the system sent them back to their worlds.
• Wu Tong realized he had forgotten to distribute the Soul Net System, so he decided to send it to the group after returning home.
• Wu Tong reappeared on the tenth-floor rooftop of Jade Ridge Broad Maple in Twilight Canyon as time resumed across Douluo Continent.
• Wu Tong instructed Soul Net to prepare one hundred subsystems: seventeen with Administrator-level authority and eighty-three with Level 1 Authority.

Wu Tong distributed one hundred subsystems through the Dimensional Chat Group as red packets. Gu Ruoli claimed a golden one and was asked to bind to the Soul Net System.

• Wu Tong collected one hundred subsystems, with seventeen marked as having Admin Privileges and the rest as Level 1 Authority.
• Wu Tong returned to the Dimensional Chat Group, where Xiao Yan and Gu Ruoli exchanged banter with March 7th.
• Wu Tong sent seventeen red packets, including exclusive packets for group members and a Lucky Red Packet, and the group claimed them almost immediately.
• Gu Ruoli claimed a golden red packet and twelve silver ones after returning to her office in the Spirit Qi Revival World.
• The golden light introduced itself as the Soul Net System and asked Gu Ruoli whether she was willing to bind to it.

Gu Ruoli chose to bind the Soul Net System but paused when it asked her to select between Soul Binding and External Attachment. Wu Tong explained the options and began outlining External Attachment’s limitations, leaving its second flaw unrevealed.

• Gu Ruoli decided she was satisfied with her own progress and chose to bind the Soul Net System.
• The system asked Gu Ruoli to choose Soul Binding or External Attachment, but would not answer her questions before binding.
• Gu Ruoli asked Wu Tong in the Dimensional Chat Group to explain the two binding methods and their restrictions.
• Wu Tong described the system’s nine main functions and explained that External Attachment let users shape its body into an accessory or tattoo.
• Wu Tong began explaining External Attachment’s flaws, noting that the external item could be damaged or lost.

Wu Tong explained two flaws in the External Attachment plan for the Soul Net System: its carrier could be lost or damaged, and it could not access certain virtual features. He left the story planning to add a return-to-owner function in a future system upgrade.

• Wu Tong explained that accessories used as carriers could be lost, and He Xi suggested adding a function that would make the system return to its owner.
• Wu Tong said the system's existing master-recognition feature only established ownership, then recorded He Xi's suggestion for a future update.
• Xiao Yan proposed using a tattoo as the carrier, but Chu Lan and Wu Tong warned that tattoos could be damaged because they had reduced defensive power.
• Wu Tong explained that External Attachment could not pull its holder's consciousness into the Soul Net, leaving the Virtual God Realm and Virtual Marketplace unavailable.

Gu Ruoli chose Soul Binding for the Soul Net System, reasoning that the Dimensional Chat Group already occupied her mind and could keep the new system in check. With administrator authority and twelve Level 1 systems to distribute, she began considering how to build a network of trusted subordinates, while system holders elsewhere also made their choices.

• After learning about External Attachment’s flaws, Gu Ruoli chose Soul Binding and the Soul Net System entered her head.
• The system welcomed Gu Ruoli with administrator authority, and she asked it to call her “boss.”
• The Soul Net System explained her privileges and told her the twelve Level 1 systems were hers to distribute; Gu Ruoli stored them away.
• Most other chat group members chose Soul Binding rather than External Attachment.
• Wu Tong compiled a system instruction manual and sent it to academy system holders, cutting short the boasting of those who had assumed they were chosen protagonists.

Feng Shayan and the other women woke Wu Tong and reminded him that he had promised to take them out for several days. After they refuted his excuses and revealed that Elysia and her friends would join them, Wu Tong surrendered and agreed to go.

• Feng Shayan woke Wu Tong at eleven and reminded him that he had promised the women an outing the night before.
• Wu Tong questioned whether a promise made in the heat of the moment counted, but the women warned that he could not back out.
• Wu Tong tried to use the Asura God and his Academy duties as excuses, but Busujima Saeko and Feng Shayan dismissed them.
• Wu Tong claimed he had plans with Elysia, and Nangong Yun revealed that Elysia and her friends were joining the outing.
• Wu Tong ran out of excuses and gave in.

Wu Tong joined the women for their planned outing after realizing they had blocked every chance for him to refuse. Elysia introduced the group of companions, then revealed that their destination was the One Piece World.

• Wu Tong agreed to go out with the women, then delayed their departure for a nap that turned into amorous advances.
• Wu Tong and the others arrived late at the garden meeting place, where Elysia greeted them in a new dress.
• Wu Tong suspected Elysia had helped arrange the outing, but she denied it without admitting anything.
• Elysia introduced Nami, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Yueheng, Dai Yueyao, Yun Ying, Ruan Qingyan, Qian Renxue, and Eden to Wu Tong's group.
• Wu Tong urged everyone to stop chatting and set off, and Elysia announced that the destination was the One Piece World.

Wu Tong took the group to the One Piece World, but they arrived above the sea, forcing him to use his Spatial Authority to create a temporary Space Barrier beneath them. The group landed safely and Feng Shayan questioned whether Wu Tong had caused the misplaced arrival.

• Wu Tong accepted the group's choice of the One Piece World as their destination and opened a Dimensional Teleportation Gate.
• The gate transported Wu Tong and the women to a point high above the ocean in East Blue.
• Wu Tong used his Spatial Authority to transform space within ten thousand li into a solid Space Barrier.
• The women landed on the temporary barrier, and Elysia expressed relief that they had not fallen into the sea.
• Feng Shayan asked Wu Tong why they had been teleported over the ocean and whether he had caused it.

Wu Tong and the women discovered that their arrival over open water was caused by Nami’s original crossing point moving along with the ship she had left behind. They descended onto a wooden ship and began sailing toward an island to establish their location.

• Feng Shayan suspected Wu Tong had sent them over the sea as revenge, but he denied causing their predicament.
• Wu Tong explained that he had used the coordinates from Nami’s crossing without realizing she had crossed from a moving ship.
• Nami recalled crossing from a pirate ship at sea and explained what had happened, revealing why the coordinates now led to open water.
• Wu Tong constructed an Ancient Wood Ship, and the women landed aboard and explored while Nami took the helm.
• Wu Tong set up a beach chair, umbrella, juice, and snacks at the bow, then relaxed in the sun.

Wu Tong relaxed on the beach while chatting with the group, where Gabriel and Xiao Yan teased each other before Gu Ruoli complained about Aha. Gu Ruoli revealed that Bai Shuran had beaten her after becoming an Emissary of Elation, and admitted she had challenged him to spur his growth.

• Wu Tong admired the sea view, then dozed and joined the Dimensional Chat Group.
• Xiao Yan teased Gabriel about losing her carefree life under her sister's watch, and Gabriel threatened him after he laughed.
• Gu Ruoli angrily cursed Aha, and Xiao Yan joked that she needed to be taken to Qingshan Mental Hospital.
• Gu Ruoli explained that Aha had made Bai Shuran an Emissary of Elation, and Bai Shuran had beaten her when she challenged him.
• Gu Ruoli muted Xiao Yan for defending Aha, then told Dust Leaf that she had challenged Bai Shuran to help him grow faster.

Gu Ruoli admitted nothing about her real reason for harassing Bai Shuran, while the group discussed how Yue Buqun could use Resurrection Coins to recruit powerful allies by reviving people they regretted losing. After Wu Tong left the chat, Marikawa Shizuka tried to deliver a message from Rika and the others but forgot what it was.

• The group recognized that Gu Ruoli enjoyed tormenting Bai Shuran and tacitly dropped the subject to avoid angering her.
• Yue Buqun reported that Shaolin and Dali had agreed to his transaction after he demonstrated a Dongfeng Missile, and Wu Tong sent him ten Resurrection Coins.
• Ye Hei and other members advised Yue Buqun to use Resurrection Coins to revive figures such as Zhu Wushi's beloved and Guo Xiang, gaining powerful allies for Mount Hua Sect.
• Wu Tong left the Dimensional Chat Group when Marikawa Shizuka called and pushed him.
• Marikawa Shizuka forgot the message Rika and the others had asked her to deliver, and Wu Tong pulled her into his arms.

Wu Tong enjoyed the sunset with Marikawa Shizuka until Minami Rika found them and reported a pirate ship following their vessel. Minami Rika asked Wu Tong to serve as backup as they prepared to deal with the potential threat.

• Wu Tong comforted Marikawa Shizuka when she forgot what she had been sent to tell him, and the two watched the sunset together.
• Minami Rika arrived and scolded Marikawa Shizuka for forgetting her message and lingering with Wu Tong.
• Wu Tong asked why Minami Rika had sent Shizuka, and she explained that the others were scattered around the large ship.
• Minami Rika told Wu Tong she had spotted a suspicious pirate ship following them while she was shooting birds.
• Minami Rika asked Wu Tong to back them up, saying their group was not among the world's top-tier powerhouses.

Minami Rika insisted that the East Blue was dangerous despite Wu Tong’s strength, and Wu Tong decided to go along with her plan to deal with the pirates following them. Using Perception, he spotted the pursuing ship and recognized two people aboard.

• Wu Tong questioned why Minami Rika was so cautious about a small pirate crew in the East Blue.
• Minami Rika cited powerful figures connected to the East Blue as reason to stay alert.
• Wu Tong decided not to explain his strength and agreed to deal with the pirates first.
• Wu Tong used Perception to locate the pursuing pirate ship and recognized two familiar faces.
• Minami Rika called Marikawa Shizuka to follow as the group headed toward the stern.

Alvida and her pirates chased Wu Tong's Ancient Wood Ship, hoping to capture its wealthy passengers and demand a ransom. After catching up to the slower ship, the pirates prepared to attack.

• Alvida ordered her crew to pursue Wu Tong's ship so she could seize its passengers and demand a ransom.
• Alvida spotted Koby among the pirates and struck him after he awkwardly praised her beauty and tried to explain that the deck was already clean.
• The pirates mocked Koby as he hurried off to find cleaning tools, while continuing to work under Alvida's threats.
• Alvida's smaller pirate ship caught up to Wu Tong's Ancient Wood Ship, and the crew eagerly prepared to rob it.

Wu Tong’s companions gathered to confront Alvida’s pirate crew, though most had their own reasons for coming and knew the pirates posed little threat. Busujima Saeko destroyed the ship with one slash, and Minami Rika realized she had badly overestimated the danger and blushed in embarrassment.

• Wu Tong surveyed the powerful group assembled aboard the Ancient Wood Ship and decided to leave the pirates to them.
• Minami Rika anxiously prepared everyone to intercept the approaching pirate ship while the others remained unconcerned and pursued their own goals.
• Minami Rika summoned her Soul-Reaping Sniper and aimed at the pirate ship, but Busujima Saeko struck first with her Blood Blade.
• Busujima Saeko’s blade aura tore through Alvida’s pirate ship, killing most of its crew and leaving a few survivors in the wreckage.
• Minami Rika realized the attackers were only a small pirate crew and blushed as she remembered her earlier confident warnings.

After the pirate ship was wrecked, Wu Tong captured Alvida and Koby and questioned them about the date, their location, and recent events. They identified the nearby waters and Foosha Village, leaving Wu Tong with the information he sought.

• Wu Tong noticed that Alvida had survived and used his power to pull her and Koby from the water.
• The women recognized Alvida as the original user of the Smooth-Smooth Fruit and discussed its beauty-enhancing effects.
• Wu Tong offered to consider sparing Alvida and Koby if they answered his questions, and they eagerly agreed.
• Wu Tong asked for the date, their location, the nearest inhabited island, and any recent notable events.
• Alvida and Koby said it was January 7th, Sea Calendar 1520, near the Goa Kingdom, with Foosha Village on an island fifteen nautical miles ahead.

After learning they were in the East Blue before Luffy’s departure, Wu Tong and the women decided to visit Foosha Village and possibly meet Garp. Wu Tong then examined Alvida’s Fate Line, leaving the women shaken before he explained it was only an experimental ability, not a force that fixed anyone’s destiny.

• Alvida and the others told Wu Tong that Garp had returned to the East Blue, and Wu Tong realized it was January 7, 1520, before Luffy set out to sea.
• Wu Tong asked whether they should visit Foosha Village, and Elysia enthusiastically agreed, hoping they might meet Garp as well as see the protagonist.
• Wu Tong beckoned Alvida’s Fate Line out of her body and examined the line, which showed her past, present, and possible futures.
• Ruan Qingyan asked Wu Tong what the line was, and he identified it as Alvida’s Fate Line, prompting Yun Ying to fear that everyone’s fate was fixed.
• Wu Tong denied that fate was predetermined and explained that the Fate Line was a half-finished experiment he had created to explore karma and fate.

Wu Tong used a combination of his divine authorities to observe Alvida’s fate line and locate the Smooth-Smooth Fruit. He retrieved the fruit, expecting the women to want its beauty-enhancing effects, and their reaction remained to be seen.

• Wu Tong used several divine authorities together to borrow part of fate’s power and draw out Alvida’s fate line.
• The women waited quietly while Koby and Alvida stayed too frightened to speak.
• After about half an hour, Wu Tong found what he was looking for and reached through a Dimensional Door.
• Wu Tong pulled out the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, and the women recognized it as the Devil Fruit he had sought.
