• Zhuge Lan's Holy Light spread beyond its domain, healing and stripping Qin Ming, Flender, the teachers, and the Royal Fight Team before he fled the academy.

• Tang San asked Xiao Wu to store his belongings, and she hesitated before agreeing, prompting Tang San to watch her gloomily.

Ning Rongrong accidentally activated Zhuge Lan’s single-use Invincible Shield, but testing it earned enough Emotional Value to cover its recharge and leave a profit. After Flender ordered a 100-kilometer run, Zhuge Lan helped the group manage the march; by day’s end, Meng Shu was tempted by the Sunflower Manual, and Zhuge Lan prepared to stir things up while everyone was exhausted.

• Zhuge Lan checked whether Whale Rubber’s side effects would still work after he cut it off, then drew the exhausted group’s attention.

Zhuge Lan offered the group a choice of Soul Ring Enhancement Potion formulas, then prepared Whale Rubber to boost their physical limits. After the others ate and were locked in rooms, he scanned Meng Yiran and found her fourth Soul Ring limit had risen to 7,241 years.

• Zhuge Lan explained that Ning Rongrong's family formula could have fluctuating results, while his original formula had unknown side effects, and Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the teachers chose his formula.
• Zhuge Lan deployed two portable buildings, asked Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang to guard them, and melted ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber in a bucket.
• Meng Yiran asked to receive more enhancement, and Zhuge Lan divided the group among three rooms before serving them the melted Whale Rubber.
• Zhuge Lan locked the security door, examined Meng Yiran, and scanned her physique, finding her physical Soul Ring limit was 7,241 years.

Zhuge Lan discovered that his Holy Light Domain could dispel the Whale Rubber’s aphrodisiac effects and the five men’s qi deviation, then watched Flender decide to castrate Lu Qibin again. The chapter left Zhuge Lan safely outside the room as Flender wielded a pig-slaughtering knife.

• Zhuge Lan told Meng Yiran that her soul-ring limit had risen enough for a ten-thousand-year fourth ring, but she blushed, refused his unspoken offer, and ran off.
• Zhuge Lan checked on Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun, then shut them inside when their Whale Rubber-induced state alarmed him.
• Zhuge Lan found Flender, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, Lu Qibin, and Shao Xin suffering qi deviation, and used his Holy Light Domain to heal them and dispel the drug’s effects.
• Li Yusong and Shao Xin blamed Zhao Wuji’s attempt to suppress the aphrodisiac with the Sunflower Manual, whose instructions he had misunderstood.
• After Zhuge Lan’s laughter embarrassed the five men, Flender grabbed a pig-slaughtering knife and shoved Lu Qibin onto a bed to castrate him again.

• Zhuge Lan insisted that their encounter should be forgotten but forbade Xiao Wu from being intimate with other men, threatening her and Tang San if she disobeyed.
• Zhuge Lan offered to revive Xiao Wu's mother, prompting Xiao Wu to compare her mother's devotion with Tang San's betrayal and decide to distance herself from him.
• Xiao Wu agreed to keep away from other men, including Zhuge Lan, but Zhuge Lan told her that she had no choice because her mother's revival depended on him.
• Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai came out of the second bedroom and saw Xiao Wu standing far from Zhuge Lan; Tang San felt guilty, while Xiao Wu avoided his gaze.
