Chapter Summaries

Dai Yichen’s diary criticized Tang San’s control over Huo Yuhao and the Shrek Seven Devils, prompting the women to question the God Realm’s rules and Tang Wutong’s Martial Souls. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion resolved to avoid Huo Yuhao, while everyone understood why Dai Yichen would never enter Qiankun Asking Love Valley.

• The diary argued that Tang San’s shift from calling Dai Mubai “Boss Dai” to “Mubai” reflected his belief that he had become the team’s true leader, not a deepening friendship.
• The women grew furious at Tang San’s interference in the lower realm, and Xiao Wu wondered why her daughter Tang Wutong possessed the Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul instead of her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul.

• Everyone recognized that Dai Huabin’s severed arm could limit his cultivation, and they understood why Dai Yichen refused to enter Qiankun Asking Love Valley.

• Dai Yichen criticized Shrek Academy for redeeming Tang Ya despite her deeds and for judging Evil Soul Masters by their martial souls.

Bibi Dong and the others discussed whether devouring abilities made a Soul Master evil, while Qian Renxue reconsidered her long infiltration mission. In the Extremely Northern Land, the Ice Empress angrily denied loving Tian Meng and confessed her feelings for the Snow Empress.

• Bibi Dong and the others concluded that Evil Soul Masters should be judged by their actions rather than their Martial Souls, and wondered whether Tang San would fit the later definition.
• Qian Renxue considered killing Shrek Academy's members but abandoned the idea and decided to leave the infiltration mission behind.
• Snake Lance and Pufferfish saw Qian Renxue shiver and mistook her loneliness for being cold at heart.
• The Ice Empress rejected the claim that she had fallen for Tian Meng and blamed Tang San for what had happened in Qiankun Asking Love Valley.

Dai Yichen and Dugu Yan began a spar at the Back Mountain combat grounds, where he challenged her reliance on poison-based control. As they faced off, Dugu Bo watched and reflected on how the Dugu Clan’s poor control of their Martial Soul caused its poison to turn against them.

• Dai Yichen asked Dugu Yan to spar, and she agreed, confident that her poison and antidotes would keep things safe.
• Dai Yichen questioned Dugu Yan’s control path and mocked its lack of defense, provoking her and angering the watching Dugu Bo.
• Dai Yichen and Dugu Yan took their positions and announced their Martial Souls, levels, and soul rings.
• Dugu Yan noticed Dai Yichen’s thousand-year second soul ring, while Dugu Bo watched with curiosity about how he would counter her poison.
• Dugu Bo reflected that the control path could delay the Dugu Clan’s poison backlash but could not cure it, since their control over their Martial Souls remained too poor.

Dai Yichen faced Dugu Yan in a spar and used a Taiji Diagram he had developed to withstand and redirect her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison. He left Dugu Yan unharmed but demonstrated how dangerous his new technique could be.

• Dugu Yan challenged Dai Yichen to let her attack first, confident that her poison would overwhelm him.
• Dugu Yan released Jade Phosphorous Red Poison, but Dai Yichen formed a Taiji Diagram with Tai Chi Fist that kept the poisonous mist from reaching him.
• Dugu Yan spent more than half her Soul Power trying to break through the steady barrier and complained that Dai Yichen was only hiding.
• Dai Yichen gathered and compressed the poisonous mist inside the Taiji Diagram, then fired it toward Dugu Yan.
• Dai Yichen redirected the beam at the last moment, and it pierced and corroded a tree instead of hitting Dugu Yan.

After defeating Dugu Yan, Dai Yichen warned her that her rapid cultivation was worsening the poison in her body and revealed that he could help her and Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo disclosed the location where he suppressed his poison, and Dai Yichen asked him to wait three months before taking him there.

• Dai Yichen asked Dugu Bo to take him to Sunset Forest in three months, despite Dugu Bo urging him to go sooner.

Dai Yichen agreed to let Dugu Bo accompany him to Gengxin City and began considering how to treat Dugu Bo's poison. He realized Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Inner Core might be an unusual Soul Core, though his theory could explain Dugu Bo's Martial Soul Backlash.

• Dugu Bo offered to accompany Dai Yichen on his trip, citing the danger of traveling alone and the chance to take him to Sunset Forest afterward.
• Dai Yichen accepted Dugu Bo's offer and asked why Dugu Bo trusted him without knowing the treatment plan.
• Dugu Bo said Dai Yichen was the first to notice Dugu Yan's condition and chose to trust him, while privately considering Dugu Yan's interest in Dai Yichen.
• Dai Yichen reflected on the value of cultivation methods and suspected flaws in the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Tang Sect techniques.
• Dai Yichen considered condensing a Soul Core as a treatment for Dugu Bo and suspected his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Inner Core was already similar to one.
• Dai Yichen concluded that the unusual Inner Core might explain Dugu Bo's Martial Soul Backlash.

Dai Yichen identified Dugu Bo’s unstable Inner Core as a failed Soul Core prototype that caused his poison backlash. He could only offer temporary treatment for now, and he left the cure dependent on further research and assistance.

• Dai Yichen asked when Dugu Bo’s poison backlash began, and Dugu Bo said it started after his Jade Phosphorous Serpent evolved when he became a Soul Sage.

• Zhu Zhuqing worried that awakening her martial soul would distance her from Zhu Zhuyun and asked whether Dai Yichen was interested in her sister.
• Dai Yichen sensed three masked Soul Elders launching attacks and used Mental Interference to protect himself and Zhu Zhuqing.
• Dai Yichen struck the attackers with Tiger's Roar Flash and Mental Shock, then used Flash Spirit Art to kill all three while covering Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

Dai Yichen killed three assassins sent by Dai Weisi, then escorted Zhu Zhuqing home after she saw the bodies and vomited. He headed for Dai Weisi’s villa to retaliate, while Dai Weisi waited confidently and reflected on his growing jealousy of Dai Yichen.

• Dai Yichen killed the three Death Warriors before they could reveal their identities and suspected that Dai Weisi had sent them.

• Dai Yichen reassured Zhu Zhuqing that no one would identify the dead men and escorted her back to her dormitory.
• Dai Yichen set off for Dai Weisi’s villa, intending to teach him a lesson.
• Dai Weisi waited at home, convinced the assassins had acted, and dwelled on his jealousy over Dai Yutian’s favoritism toward Dai Yichen.

• Dai Weisi mocked Dai Yichen about the attack on Zhu Zhuqing, but Dai Yichen struck him with a mind attack and sent him crashing from the second floor with a Crushing Fist.
• Dai Yichen told Dai Weisi he would pay for targeting Zhuqing, while Dai Weisi found himself too injured to summon his martial soul or fight back.
• Dai Yichen stomped on Dai Weisi's right knee and pierced his right wrist, prompting Dai Weisi to plead for mercy.
• Dai Yichen said he preferred Dai Weisi's earlier defiant expression, then slammed his head into the ground and pierced his left knee and wrist with Soul Power.

Meanwhile, Dai Yichen left Dai Weisi unconscious after warning him that another offense would cost him his life, and the old man found Dai Weisi barely alive.

• Bi Ji read Dai Yichen's diary entries, realized the Diary Copy had boosted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation, and added Gu Yuena as a friend.
• Gu Yuena told Bi Ji that she was still asleep and could communicate through the Diary Copy while her Spiritual Body waited for her injuries to recover.
• Gu Yuena reflected that Dai Yichen's actions in the livestream had convinced her he would protect the people he cared for.
• Dai Yichen left Dai Weisi unconscious, ordered the old man to clean up, and warned that he would kill Dai Weisi if he repeated his behavior.
• The old man entered the villa and found Dai Weisi in a pool of blood with only a breath left.
