Li Ang tricked Xiao Chenyu into buying the Demonic Dismemberment Technique, then enjoyed the Xiao Clan’s hospitality while monitoring Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. Half a month later, Xiao Wu and Tang San’s work-study students faced Xiao Chenyu’s senior group in a duel with high stakes.

• Xiao Wu called for the fight to begin, and Xiao Chenyu proposed that each side send ten students to fight in sequence, with winners continuing until one group was defeated.

Li Ang's scheme to alter the plot succeeded when Xiao Chenyu severely wounded Tang San, raising the plot-rewrite progress to 1.1%. Back in the Xiao Clan's mansion, Li Ang spent 1000 points on a pill that could restore his youth, treat his kidneys, and prolong his life.

• Xiao Yan asked Li Ang to use his connections to find a powerful Support Soul Master who could treat Xiao Chenyu.

• Five years later in Murphy City, a beautiful-looking girl around ten years old selected goods in an antique-style shop.

Li Ang arranged for Zhu Zhuqing and another girl to buy magical items from his shops, then Zhu Zhuqing left Murphy City for Suotuo City. Her story revealed that she faced a deadly succession battle after her fiancé Dai Mubai abandoned her, and the Star Luo Imperial Family planned to settle the contest at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

• Zhu Zhuqing bought an antique-style hairpin from Li Ang for one Silver Soul Coin.
• Li Ang reflected that another girl had bought a bracelet from his duplicate shop, and both girls had unknowingly obtained their cheats.
• Zhu Zhuqing left Murphy City early the next morning to travel to Suotuo City.
• The chapter recounted how Dai Mubai fled to Suotuo City and left Zhu Zhuqing to face pressure from her sister, Zhu Zhuyun.
• The Xingluo Imperial Family decided that the succession battle would be settled through the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, where the winner would inherit the throne.

Zhu Zhuqing arrived in Suotuo City to find her fiancé, Dai Mubai, and discovered him with twin women at a hotel. Enraged, she used her Second Soul Skill to strike him a hundred times across the face.

• Zhu Zhuqing traveled to Suotuo City despite assassination attempts arranged by Zhu Zhuyun along the way.
• Li Ang knew about the sisters’ conflict because the assassins had been hired through the Douluo Dalu Mercenary Association, which he led.

• Dai Mubai recognized Zhu Zhuqing, withdrew his hands, and tried to explain himself.
• Zhu Zhuqing activated Netherworld Hundred Claws and slapped Dai Mubai a hundred times.

Li Ang watched Zhu Zhuqing beat Dai Mubai, then used the hairpin he had given her to reveal himself and offer her help. Zhu Zhuqing remained uncertain about her future as Li Ang considered which members of the Shrek Seven Devils deserved cheats.

• Li Ang watched through Zhu Zhuqing’s hairpin as she beat Dai Mubai and left.
• Dai Mubai recovered, paid for the damage, and took the twin sisters to another room.

• The hairpin glowed, and Li Ang spoke to Zhu Zhuqing before appearing as a transparent figure.
• Li Ang explained that he planned to give cheats to selected members of the protagonist group, choosing Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu over the sleazy or scummy male characters.

Li Ang appeared from Zhu Zhuqing’s hairpin and persuaded her to accept his help by revealing his knowledge of her perilous position in the Xingluo succession struggle. After claiming to be a former Limit Douluo who needed her to revive him, he became her master, and Zhu Zhuqing asked how she could grow stronger quickly.

• Li Ang emerged from Zhu Zhuqing’s hairpin and offered to help her, but she initially distrusted him.
• Li Ang told Zhu Zhuqing about her place in the Xingluo succession and warned her of the consequences of losing the Throne Seizing Battle.

• Zhu Zhuqing accepted Li Ang as her master and completed the Apprenticeship Ceremony.
• Zhu Zhuqing asked Li Ang how she could quickly increase her strength to face Zhu Zhuyun and Davis.

Li Ang told Zhu Zhuqing that her Dai Family bloodline could help her grow stronger and claimed he could awaken a White Tiger martial soul for her. He began a ritual to grant her a second martial soul, leaving Zhu Zhuqing inside the glowing hexagram as he activated the array.

• Li Ang explained that generations of intermarriage meant Zhu Zhuqing might carry as much Dai Family blood as her fiancé, Dai Mubai.

• Zhu Zhuqing eagerly asked Li Ang how to awaken her second martial soul.
• Li Ang summoned six multicolored stones and arranged them into a glowing hexagram.
• Zhu Zhuqing stood in the hexagram and nervously asked whether the ritual was safe, but Li Ang activated the Six Paths Reincarnation Great Array before she could finish.

Li Ang used the System Shop to awaken Zhu Zhuqing’s Second Soul Spirit, an Evil Eye White Tiger, and told her to keep it secret and seek him out only if she needed help. He decided to delay activating Ning Rongrong’s cheat system until Dai Mubai could create the right opportunity, while his main body rested at an estate in Suotuo City.

• Li Ang used the System Shop to give Zhu Zhuqing an Evil Eye White Tiger as her Second Soul Spirit, earning system rewards for rewriting the plot.

• Li Ang’s main body rested with a woman at a magnificent estate in Suotuo City.

After nearly six years away, Li Ang received intelligence from his disciple Black Robe but was reminded that urgent matters awaited him as king and Mercenary Association president. He reluctantly left his revelry and spent the night handling official documents.

• Li Ang accepted his responsibilities and spent the night processing official documents in his study.

While Li Ang worked, Zhu Zhuqing went to Shrek Academy because the Star Luo Empire's Throne Seizing Battle required her to partner with Dai Mubai. She found the academy in a village outside Suotuo City, and her first look at its shabby entrance left her appalled.

• Li Ang continued working while Zhu Zhuqing prepared to attend Shrek Academy so she could compete alongside Dai Mubai in the Throne Seizing Battle.
