Chapter Summaries

Nine-year-old Xiao Yang became a One-Star Dou Zhe and unlocked his system’s Novice Gift Pack, which contained the Heaven-Tier Great Sun Glazed Art and its corresponding Dou Technique. He began studying the powerful technique, though cultivating it would require more Dou Qi than he currently possessed.

• Xiao Yang tested as a One-Star Dou Zhe, stunning the Xiao Family and breaking Wutan City's record.
• Xiao Yang congratulated Xiao Yan and Xun Er, then used the moment alone beneath a tree to access his system.
• Xiao Yang opened his Novice Gift Pack and received the Vajra Glazed Body Dou Technique and the Great Sun Glazed Art.
• Xiao Yang read the Great Sun Glazed Art that night and realized its first cultivation cycle demanded more Dou Qi than a new Dou Zhe typically had.

After the system rewarded him for changing the Magical Beast Mountain Range storyline, he began the dangerous technique conversion with Amethyst Accompanying Source.

• Xiao Yang brought Xun Er the Eight Section Brocade and asked her to get the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Magic Core, Amethyst Accompanying Source, and Amethyst Spirit Crystal.
• Xun Er sent Ling Ying to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and he returned two days later with the requested items.
• The system rewarded Xiao Yang with Avici Dao Three Blades for changing the Magical Beast Mountain Range storyline, which would prevent Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran from obtaining the Amethyst Spirit Crystal.
• Xiao Yang began cultivating the Great Sun Glazed Art at noon, but his Dou Qi ran out before he completed a tenth of a circulation.
• Xiao Yang drank the Amethyst Accompanying Source as the technique conversion threatened to fail and damage his cultivation.

Xiao Yang completed his Great Sun Glazed Art, gained the Great Sun True Fire, and tested the power of Vajra Glazed Body and Avici Dao Three Blades. A month later, Jia Nan Academy announced its recruitment, and Xiao Yang considered going there to seek treasures and further his cultivation.

• Xiao Yang considered attending Jia Nan Academy to seek the Life Devouring Pill and other treasures before the main plot began.

• Xiao Yang examined the pill, whose nine apertures seemed to breathe, as an instinct from deep within his blood urged him to swallow it.

Xiao Yang implanted the Nine Apertures Golden Pill, which cleansed his body, awakened his Battle Emperor Bloodline, and greatly increased his physical strength. After more than ten days, jealousy among his classmates boiled over, and he accepted Xue Cheng’s challenge to a duel.
