Chapter Summaries

Mu Ge postponed searching for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and focused on stabilizing Divine Slaughter's Domain through study and training. In Spirit Hall's library, he found records supporting his belief that Yu Xiaogang had claimed existing research as his own.

• Mu Ge reasoned that Dugu Bo had likely already claimed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so he put the immortal herbs aside rather than risk confronting a Titled Douluo.
• Mu Ge planned to control Divine Slaughter's Domain by studying martial soul knowledge instead of learning music and etiquette.

• Mu Ge showed Qian Renxue how he could multiply and redirect his First Spirit Skill's Frost Swords, and she praised his answer before leaving.

• Qian Renxue read Mu Ge’s manual, found it clearer than the library’s records, and praised her teacher.
